Wang Dequan froze on the spot.
The floodgates of his memory suddenly opened.
He wasn’t an ambitious person in the first place.
He only wanted to be relatively well-off, which is why he started a business.
But for some reason, an uncontrollable ambition would appear inside him whenever he felt he had enough.
To his younger siblings, his wife, and his friends.
Wang Dequan had become a cold, mean, sarcastic, and cruel man.
Every time he hurt them, he would come to regret it.
He would apologize to them but soon turned back to the same arrogant man not long after.
Many years later, his younger siblings all left his side.
Wang Dequan gradually got used to his strange personality and never once thought it was he who had changed.
He assumed that all successful people had to walk their own path and that ordinary people couldn’t understand the decision-making and style of someone in a position of power.
“Am I really sick?”
Wang Dequan muttered to himself.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
A ringtone broke Wang Dequan from his thoughts.
“Dr. Chen, we’ll talk about my condition later.”
“Is there any way to protect my company’s foundation?”
The director of the public relations department had just sent a message saying that an inkling of weird comments had already appeared on the internet.
Someone was trying to imply in a roundabout way that Wang Dequan’s overseas business had met with a setback.
“If you want to protect the company, you must weed out the mole first.”
“A mole!”
“Who’s the mole?” Wang Dequan asked in shock.
“That’s a lot of them.”
“The first mole,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “He’s your right-hand man, the general manager of your company.”
“What did he do?”
Wang Dequan asked nervously.
Wang Dequan’s reasoning was that the general manager had no reason to betray him.
However, these words came from Chen Yu’s mouth, so Wang Dequan had to believe them.
“He instructed the financial director to open numerous bogus offshore accounts in your name and secretly transfer the group’s assets to them.”
“More or less, three or four billion yuan should be gone.”
“That many?!”
Wang Dequan’s eyes widened in shock.
“This is just the start. He not only used your name to falsify accounts but also represented you to many major banks and made numerous loans in your name.”
“The total amount is seven billion yuan.”
“A few foreign customers will find out a month later that customs once again detained the goods you sent over.”
“They will lose all trust in you.”
“They will then hold a press conference one after another to denounce your actions that violated business ethics.”
“This press conference is the fall of a domino, creating a series of chain reactions.”
“Your company’s reputation will suffer a serious blow, and the company’s stock price will plummet.”
“The bank will be concerned that you’ll be unable to repay your loan, so they will all come to you to recoup your debt.”
“All the companies in the country will choose to terminate their contracts with you soon after that.”
“When you are deep in trouble internally and externally, a letter will be sent by the tax department stating that you are suspected of falsifying your accounts.”
Wang Dequan’s face turned ferocious and terrifying as he heard about his imminent future.
“Bastard, I will kill him!”
“Calm down.”
As Chen Yu’s voice entered his ears, Wang Dequan’s body trembled.
Immediately after, Wang Dequan’s expression returned to normal.
He was shocked by his thoughts.
Why would he think of killing the general manager’s entire family?
“Dr. Chen, other than him, who else betrayed me?”
Wang Dequan asked anxiously.
“Other than the general manager, there’s also the business department director, the deputy director of the quality control department, the deputy director of the finance department, your driver, and the board secretary.”
Zhang Jianshe was shocked.
Could this be any more dramatic?
Although Zhang Jianshe had never started a business, he knew these positions’ importance.
The general manager, the finance department, and the business department formed the three carriages that made up the company’s strategic direction.
The main people in charge of the three departments were all plotting to betray Wang Dequan.
Aside from that, his driver was his most trusted confidant and knew many of his secrets.
Furthermore, the board secretary was also not a secretary in the ordinary sense.
He was a senior manager of a listed company and was responsible for communicating with the stock exchange.
He was a person in charge of harmonizing the interests of the various shareholders, equivalent to the board of directors’ caretaker.
These people formed the core framework of a corporation, and they were all supposed to be Wang Dequan’s trusted aides.
Otherwise, there was no way they could be in these positions.
It was hard for Wang Dequan not to fall into their trap if they all worked together.
Wang Dequan opened his mouth wide and asked with difficulty, “Did they all betray me?”
“Yes.”
“Is it because of money, or was it instigated by others?”
“The latter.”
Hearing that these people had been instigated to betray him, Wang Dequan’s expression changed again.
“Dr. Chen, tell me quickly,” Wang Dequan said through gritted teeth, “who’s the bastard who bribed all my confidants?”
“In order to defeat me in such a complicated game of chess, I must know who he is!”
“Li Xiuzhi.”
“My wife?!”
Wang Dequan was shocked and started coughing violently.
He almost choked to death.
Zhang Jianshe also revealed a shocked expression.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
No matter how melodramatic a screenwriter was, there was no way they could even come up with such a ridiculous script.
Li Xiuzhi had been married to her husband for decades, and she was the person who backstabbed him.
Her methods were brilliant; she bribed a large number of core executives of their company without Wang Dequan noticing.
It was apparent now that the problem with the traditional herbs being sold overseas must have been caused by them.
After all, the purchasing, handling, and supervision were all done by Li Xiuzhi’s people.
It would be a miracle if Wang Dequan could find the problem.
Zhang Jianshe stole a glance at Wang Dequan, noticing that he was like an old man with one foot in his grave.
Even his body was trembling nonstop.
Zhang Jianshe could not help but feel sympathy and pity for Wang Dequan.
If this were to happen to him, he would probably have fainted by now.
“Why don’t we call it a day?”
Chen Yu looked at Wang Dequan’s complexion and knew he was only one step away from collapsing.
“No, Dr. Chen, please continue!”
“Why did she do such a crazy thing?”
Wang Dequan vowed to get to the bottom of this today.
Did he let her down in some way?
Why was she forcing him to an early grave?
“Once, your brother-in-law proposed a wise investment to you.”
“All the group’s higher-ups knew this investment was promising.”
“You were about to sign and agree to his proposal, but suddenly, you seem to have changed into a different person.”
“You belittled his investment case and even used his high school education limit to shame him.”
“You trampled on his dignity and angered your brother-in-law to the point of him quitting on the spot.”
Wang Dequan’s face was burning after hearing that.
“I understand now.”
As soon as his brother-in-law left the company, Wang Dequan immediately calmed down.
Unfortunately, his brother-in-law had a headstrong personality.
Even though Wang Dequan had visited his brother-in-law three times to apologize again and again, he still wouldn’t change his mind.
“No, you don’t understand.”
“Your wife backstabbed you not only because of her younger brother,” Chen Yu continued with a faint smile.
“Then, why?”
Wang Dequan asked.
“Other than trampling on the dignity of your brother-in-law, your company’s employees, your friends, and your clients,”
“The one who was hurt the most by you was your wife, Li Xiuzhi.”
Chen Yu tapped the table as he revealed the answer..
