Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 436: Chapter 434 I’ll Give You Evidence

Lin Yao’s voice was calm and steady, echoing through the conference room without the slightest ripple. Faced with Bai Zhiqing’s aggressive gaze, Lin Yao didn’t dodge at all. His expression remained placid, as if echoing his own words: he had done nothing wrong and feared neither slander nor investigation.

Observing Lin Yao’s righteous demeanor and then looking at the icy Bai Zhiqing, a question rose in everyone’s minds. Lin Yao was a veteran of Bai’s Group, and while somewhat arrogant, he was quite capable; otherwise, Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t have promoted him to Vice Chairman of Bai’s Group. Bai’s Group was considered a leader among Modu’s business conglomerates, and it didn’t seem likely that Lin Yao would betray Bai’s Group at this juncture—as it would bring him no benefit.

Seeing the various looks cast in his direction, Lin Yao sneered inwardly, though his face showed a touch of anger, as if he truly felt wronged.

”Mr. Bai, is it possible that there’s been a mistake? The traitor isn’t Vice Chairman Lin, but someone else?” some of the senior executives of Bai’s Group spoke up.

After all, Lin Yao’s expression didn’t look at all like that of a traitor’s. He didn’t even seem flustered, which was quite contrary to common sense.

At that moment, Lin Yao spoke again, ”Mr. Bai, you say I am the traitor of Bai’s Group. I believe this information must have come from Assistant Lu. Mr. Bai, as you know, Assistant Lu and I have always been at odds—and everyone has seen it. Assistant Lu tells Mr. Bai that I am a traitor to the company, throwing mud at me, and this is within reason. I have nothing to say about it, especially since last time he accused me of colluding with a rival company, leading Bai’s Group into a financial crisis. This isn’t the first time, and I’ve grown accustomed to it. If Mr. Bai insists on identifying me as the traitor of Bai’s Group, I have nothing more to add. I only hope that Assistant Lu can stand up personally and confront me, to see who is truly the company’s traitor.”

”Lu Tianxing, you dare play games with me, this time I’ll make sure you’re completely ousted from the company. A mere assistant dares to turn the world upside down?”

A hint of spite flashed in Lin Yao’s heart, but his face was filled with anger as he spoke, ”Mr. Bai, I know Assistant Lu is now the company’s darling. You value him, believe his words, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But Lin Yao isn’t someone to be trifled with. Assistant Lu says I’m a traitor to the company, then he should present evidence to prove it. If Assistant Lu can bring forth evidence, I’m at your disposal for any punishment. But if Assistant Lu cannot produce evidence, that would amount to malicious slander. Mr. Bai, you know the consequences of slandering a high-level executive of the company.”

”Ladies and gentlemen, hearing what I’ve said, some might think I’m being aggressive and unyielding even with the truth on my side. However, I refuse to carry this burden of false accusation. Moreover, Assistant Lu has been too presumptuous in Bai’s Group. To think he could get rid of a Vice Chairman with a baseless accusation—if one day Assistant Lu takes a disliking to any of you, could he not also arbitrarily use some trumped-up charge to chase you out of the company? I believe Mr. Bai is wise and valiant. It’s just that he has been deceived by the vile wretch Lu Tianxing. Colleagues, if Assistant Lu cannot produce evidence today, I propose we immediately fire Lu Tianxing and have him expelled from Bai’s Group, to restore the company to its clear blue skies.”

Lin Yao spoke impassionedly, stirring everyone’s emotions.

Lin Yao was no fool. If Bai Zhiqing dared to accuse him of being the company’s traitor in front of everyone, she obviously had heard some rumors. His goal now was to muddy the waters, shifting everyone’s focus onto Lu Tianxing. As long as Lu Tianxing couldn’t produce evidence, he could further claim that Lu Tianxing was the real traitor of Bai’s Group.

Bai Zhiqing refused to fire Lu Tianxing, did she?

Then he would use public opinion to kick Lu Tianxing out for good. Bai Zhiqing might not care about him, but he didn’t believe she’d dare to go against the entire Bai’s Group—even if she was the Chairman, she couldn’t afford to anger everyone.

He might even go a step further, frame Lu Tianxing as the traitor of Bai’s Group, and then report him to the police. Let the police take Lu Tianxing away for industrial espionage and eliminate him once and for all.

Lin Yao’s lips curled slightly, forming a sinister smile. He was determined to crush Lu Tianxing completely; that was the consequence of crossing him.

Upon hearing Lin Yao’s words, aside from a few people like Xue Man and Lin Qianru, the rest showed changes in their expressions. If that was the case, they might need to tiptoe around Lu Tianxing in the future.

They were either managers or deputy managers in Bai’s Group, or heads of certain departments. They had fought for Bai’s Group for many years and could be considered the old guard. Now, they were expected to defer to a mere assistant, which was hardly a pleasing prospect.

”Mr. Bai, Vice President Lin is right. Since Assistant Lu claims that Vice Chairman Lin is the company’s traitor, why not ask Assistant Lu to come out and present evidence? This would satisfy everyone. Otherwise, accusing a Vice Chairman of being a traitor could have a negative impact on Bai’s Group,” someone from Lin Yao’s faction stood up and said.

This individual had been promoted by Lin Yao himself. If Lin Yao were confirmed as a traitor to Bai’s Group, and considering Bai Zhiqing’s thunderous methods, his fate wouldn’t be much better.

”Yes, Mr. Bai. Since Assistant Lu accuses Vice Chairman Lin of being the company’s traitor, we should have Assistant Lu come over, confront him directly, and see who is the real traitor. Then it will all be clear.”

”That’s right, if Assistant Lu dares to make the accusation, then he must provide evidence, or such an unfounded charge will hardly convince anyone.”

”Exactly, since Assistant Lu said it, he should come out and clarify things in person.”

This person’s words immediately triggered a wave of agreement among the crowd.

Xue Man and Lin Qianru sat to one side, silent and expressionless, yet their hearts were filled with anxiety. Lu Tianxing really had some nerve; he could have said anything else, but he insisted on accusing Lin Yao of being a traitor. To make matters worse, there wasn’t even any evidence! Spouting nonsense without proof could get him fired.

Both women, Lin Qianru and Xue Man, were anxious, but helpless—they were human, not divine, and couldn’t conjure up evidence from thin air. They could only pray that Lu Tianxing truly had the evidence.

Bai Zhiqing sat with a cold expression, her indifferent gaze taking in everything around her, absorbing everyone’s reactions. In her heart, Bai Zhiqing had never doubted Lu Tianxing’s words; she knew his character well. Lu Tianxing might be somewhat frivolous, but he would never accuse someone with a fabricated charge to frame them unjustly.

Given Lu Tianxing’s character, if he really disliked Lin Yao, there was absolutely no need for such a ploy. He could simply have caught Lin Yao and beaten him up, or even killed him. With Lu Tianxing’s martial abilities, Lin Yao probably wouldn’t even know how he died—so why bother with a lie that could be easily exposed?

What Bai Zhiqing was truly worried about now was whether Lu Tianxing could produce evidence proving Lin Yao was a traitor to Bai’s Group. Without evidence, there was no way Lin Yao would be expelled from Bai’s Group.

”Click!”

Just then, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened, and a voice rang out.

”What’s all this noise about? Don’t you see I’ve arrived?”

Lu Tianxing walked in from outside, holding a document bag, and went straight to Bai Zhiqing’s side. ”Lin Yao, if you had just admitted your guilt, it would have been over, but unfortunately, you refuse to see the truth until you’re faced with death. You want evidence? I’ll show it to you now and let you die with your eyes wide open.”

Lu Tianxing’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable presence that drowned out all others.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s arrival, Bai Zhiqing, Xue Man, and Lin Qianru collectively breathed a sigh of relief. His presence meant that he had surely obtained evidence of Lin Yao’s betrayal and had complete confidence in his claim.

Lin Yao’s face twitched slightly, followed by a sneer. In his view, Lu Tianxing was merely putting on a show, wielding false evidence in an attempt to trick him.

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing and said evenly, ”Assistant Lu, just in time. If you’ve got evidence, why not show it to everyone? Let’s put to rest any doubts and show if I, Bai Zhiqing, am really slandering him.”

”Assistant Lu, you claim I’m a traitor to the company. I wonder what evidence you have to show us,” Lin Yao said with a dark look and a sneer. ”If you have evidence, I, Lin Yao, am willing to accept my punishment. However, if Assistant Lu is just talking nonsense, I suggest it’s better for you to resign voluntarily. It’s better for everyone that way, rather than being dragged out like a dog later, which would be quite unsightly.”

Lin Yao’s face bore a sneer; he didn’t believe Lu Tianxing had any evidence. His actions were flawless; how could anyone know?

”Assistant Lu, since you say you have evidence, why not show it and make clear who is in the wrong?” The manager egged on by Lin Yao also chimed in from the side.

This person seemed to be speaking in favor of Lu Tianxing, but with many eyes watching, if the evidence Lu Tianxing presented turned out to be fake, his fate would certainly be dismal, thrown out on his ear—defaming senior management was an unforgivable sin in anyone’s eyes.

Lu Tianxing glanced at the man and curled his lips into a cold smile. ”Since you want evidence, I’ll give you evidence, and let’s make your death clear and understandable.”

Lu Tianxing pulled several photographs from the document bag and handed them to Bai Zhiqing. ”Mr. Bai, this is what I’ve found. These are recent photos showing Lin Yao in frequent contact with people from Zhang Group, along with pictures of Lin Yao’s interactions with Zhang Group’s people abroad.”

”Furthermore, I found an anonymous bank account opened by Lin Yao abroad. On the day before we went to the tender, this bank account suddenly gained ten million. Lin Yao, can you explain how these ten million came about? In addition, I had someone check the bank account that transferred money to Lin Yao’s bank account—it’s a Swiss Bank card, and the owner of that card is the General Manager of Zhang Group, Zhang Tianfeng.”

”Lin Yao, do you have any explanation for this? Don’t tell me Zhang Tianfeng simply admired you, so he casually gave you ten million.”

Lu Tianxing watched Lin Yao with a mocking smile. The Swiss Bank was indeed very good at keeping secrets, but in front of the Angel Intelligence Station, it didn’t amount to much. They could hack into their system undetected and obtaining such information was a piece of cake.
