Chapter 473: Chapter 473 Scapegoat

Friendly had been in business for many years, and this was the first time the police had ever come knocking. Wan Fuyu, filled with trepidation, made his way to the meeting room, feeling extremely unsettled.

Between offering cigarettes, serving tea, and speaking kind words, Wan Fuyu finally understood the purpose of the police officer’s visit.

Joy Soon Loy had filed a complaint that someone had used their company’s label to forge prices, falsely accusing them of selling expired products and tarnishing their company’s image, which severely damaged their reputation. They provided evidence that it was an employee of Friendly who had made the false accusations, hence the investigation.

Sweat covered Wan Fuyu’s forehead as he made his appeal, "Our company has been in operation for many years and has always had a good reputation. We would never stoop to such despicable tactics to undermine our peers, but I can’t rule out the possibility that some employees might hide the truth for personal reasons to harm the reputation of others." He wiped away another bead of sweat and said, "Comrade officer, as the chairman and owner of Friendly, I assure you that we had no knowledge of this matter and certainly did not instigate it."

"Whether that is true or not, we will determine through our investigation. Moreover, we have come to open an inquiry based on evidence," the police officer replied, "Liu Weiguang is a department manager at your company, isn’t he?"

Wan Fuyu’s heart skipped a beat; mentioning his brother-in-law meant they had surely gathered sufficient evidence against him. He cursed inwardly and made a swift judgment!

His brother-in-law was beyond saving!

With a quick thought, Wan Fuyu had an idea and said, "Indeed, he is one of our managers. Officer, surely it’s not him you’re..."

"We need to bring Liu Weiguang back for questioning," the police officer said, not directly answering the question.

Wan Fuyu immediately replied, "Our company will fully cooperate with your investigation. If it is indeed his doing, we will certainly not cover for him."

As he spoke, he asked them to wait a moment and went himself to summon the person.

Liu Weiguang and his sister were also discussing the matter.

"Sister, why don’t we just pin it on Gu Lijuan?" Liu Weiguang said viciously. "Isn’t she utterly devoted to my brother-in-law? Now’s the time to test her dedication! Besides, you don’t want to see her anyway, so she’s the perfect scapegoat."

At the mention of Gu Lijuan, Liu Weiqing’s face darkened as she said, "Would she agree to that?"

"Well, she is my brother-in-law’s mistress..." Liu Weiguang said offhandedly but, seeing his sister’s face change color, he quickly corrected himself, "She is my brother-in-law’s capable secretary. If she truly has my brother-in-law’s best interests at heart, shouldn’t she be willing to do this?"

Liu Weiqing snorted, "If she were that foolish, she wouldn’t have lasted this long!"

"Then what do we do, sister? You aren’t seriously going to let me get taken to the police station, are you? I’m your own brother, the only family you have left! What would Dad say about how you’re supposed to take care of the Liu Family’s only scion after he’s gone?" Liu Weiguang pleaded urgently.

"What’s the rush." Liu Weiqing felt agitated at the thought of their deceased father.

Wan Fuyu entered, closing the door behind him, his expression somber.

"What’s happening, what did they come for?" Liu Weiqing asked.

Wan Fuyu ignored her and walked straight to Liu Weiguang, suddenly slapping him hard across the face, "Look at the mess you’ve caused!"

Liu Weiqing screamed and rushed over, "Wan Fuyu, how dare you strike him! If you dare hit him, my father will come out of his grave to kill you! This company was his life’s work."

Wan Fuyu’s expression turned even darker as he pointed at them, saying, "Soon enough, your father will be so outraged by you siblings that he’ll rise from his grave! The police have the evidence that you, Liu Weiguang, were the one directing people to sabotage the other company."
