Chapter 969: Chapter 969 Shen Chi is Not to be Messed With Chapter 969: Chapter 969 Shen Chi is Not to be Messed With The car headed toward the Shen Group’s warehouse in Shallow Bay, a place that was desolate and barren at night, with very few people.

Xiao Mo briefed Shen Chi on the most basic situation and his approach to handling it.

Shen Chi leaned back in the genuine leather seat, listening silently.

“Mr. Shen, this is already the second time we’ve discovered Deputy President Shen’s involved with large-scale illegal goods trafficking, yet we still haven’t collected any compelling evidence,” Xiao Mo said.

“This matter cannot be rushed. We either do nothing or act decisively in one fell swoop. We absolutely cannot allow Shihan to bite back,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“Yes, you’re right.”

“This time the police are involved, and there has to be an explanation for this matter,” Shen Chi said.

“What do you think… how should we explain it?”

“I thought about it the whole flight,” Shen Chi said in a deep voice, slowly continuing, “The goods were found in Shen’s warehouse; Shihan has thrown the blame onto us. Now, we too must find someone to take the fall.”

“But this doesn’t solve the root of the problem,” Xiao Mo said.

“The problem can’t be solved in an instant. If the police keep dragging this on, it’s inevitable that word will get out, which is highly detrimental to the Group! Moreover, we can’t gather all the evidence of Shihan’s illegal activities in a short time,” Shen Chi said unhurriedly.

“You mean, we should resolve the immediate trouble first.”

Shen Chi continued, “By doing so, Shihan will lower his guard. And by following the lead of the warehouse inventory, we may uncover more clues.”

“Alright, I can resolve this matter tomorrow,” Xiao Mo assured.

Finding a scapegoat wasn’t difficult.

“I’ll handle the relationships at the police station,” Shen Chi said lightly.

“Mr. Shen, with you here, I have nothing to worry about,” Xiao Mo said.

“Check the flights to Sydney for me,” Shen Chi said with his eyes closed and an expressionless face.

Xiao Mo hadn’t expected that before even reaching their destination, Shen Chi was already worrying about the trip back to Sydney.

“I’ll check it now,” Xiao Mo nodded.

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Mo silently made the inquiry call.

The car moved through the night, heading down the quiet road to the factory. They’d driven a great distance without seeing a single vehicle, let alone a pedestrian.

The road was lined with poplar trees, all of which had turned brown this season, their straight trunks standing in the darkness.

The wind rubbing against the car windows created a howling sound.

Xiao Mo hung up the phone and reported to Shen Chi, “Mr. Shen, the earliest flight is at seven tomorrow morning, nine hours from now.”

“Book that one.”

“Mr. Shen, that’s too rushed. There’s another flight at two in the afternoon,” Xiao Mo suggested. “You can rest a bit after dealing with this matter.”

Shen Chi remained silent, his face stern.

“…” With nothing more to say, Xiao Mo could only nod.

He silently booked the seven o’clock flight for Shen Chi. It seemed that after handling the factory matter, Shen Chi was planning to fly back to Sydney.

After another half-hour of driving through the night, they still hadn’t reached the factory.

Xiao Mo also reported some of the recent developments within the Group to Shen Chi. With the year nearing its end, there were quite a few matters to attend to.

Xiao Mo picked the important points to report to Shen Chi, who listened in silence.

Only when he heard something dubious did he speak up with a few pointers.

Since the airport was very far from the factory, Xiao Mo decided to give all the reports during the drive.

“Xiao Mo, you’ve worked hard,” Shen Chi said.

“Mr. Shen, it’s my duty to do this work,” Xiao Mo replied calmly.

Shen Chi remained silent, leaning quietly against his seat.

Xiao Mo closed the notebook and folder in his hands, saying nothing.

For a moment, the car was very, very quiet.

After a long time, Xiao Mo broke the silence, “Mr. Shen, has Miss Xu’s mood improved at all recently?”

Shen Chi remained silent.

Xiao Mo felt it was inappropriate to ask further and simply looked ahead.

The pain of losing a child, how could it possibly be forgotten so quickly? Xiao Mo understood.

At that moment, Xu Chaomu’s face appeared before Xiao Mo’s eyes again.

The car drove for another whole twenty minutes before the Shallow Bay factory appeared before their eyes!

The place was very open, but as their car moved forward, they saw the police cordon.

Old Cheng parked the car in an open space and opened the doors for Shen Chi and Xiao Mo.

Without a word, Shen Chi, with his long legs, strode directly towards the reception room, followed closely by Xiao Mo.

Under the dim streetlights, Shen Chi’s figure in a long coat appeared thin and lonely.

Shen Chi stopped at the entrance to the reception room and pushed open the doors!

The light from inside the reception room spilled out the doorway, and Shen Chi’s sharp, deep eyes scanned everyone present!

Although the police officers present had never met Shen Chi, they all recognized Xiao Mo. Seeing his presence, they knew that the man at the forefront was Shen Chi, the President of Shen Group!

Everyone stood up, their expressions solemn.

“Thank you for waiting,” said Shen Chi.

His voice, deep and chilling, carried an especially intimidating power in the reception room.

“Good evening, Mr. Shen,” everyone greeted in unison.

“Please sit,” Shen Chi said.

“You too, please have a seat,” one of them said, “We heard you made a special trip back from the Australian branch. We appreciate your cooperation and attention to our work.”

The police began to go through the files in front of them, everyone serious.

But because Shen Chi was there, they were much more polite in their tone.

They all knew that Shen Chi was not someone to be trifled with.

Although the problem had arisen at Shen’s Group, in the presence of Shen Chi, no one dared to interrogate him as they would an ordinary person. Instead, at this moment, Shen Chi sat at the forefront, his presence enough to intimidate the whole room!

The police went through the details with Shen Chi, and he had Xiao Mo hand over the specific solution to the police.

Xiao Mo was highly efficient in his work; he had already organized a clear line of thought while in the car.

Under the light, people exchanged ideas and strategies.

The entire reception room was filled with a tense atmosphere, this meeting akin to a serious negotiation.

Shen Chi’s logical thinking was rigorous. He proposed giving Shen Group three days to cooperate fully with the police in finding the suspect, on the condition that the police withdraw from Shallow Bay factory within twelve hours!

This was clearly a condition he was setting with the police, causing them to exchange glances with each other.

“Mr. Shen, you know this doesn’t comply with protocols,” the head of the police said.

“You have seen it for yourself, I, Shen Chi, have come with sincerity. What are protocols? If you agree, and I agree, that establishes the rules,” Shen Chi tapped the table, his expression stern.

“This…” The police didn’t dare to provoke Shen Chi.

“Three days, and you will have an answer,” Shen Chi stated.

At this moment, Xiao Mo also spoke up, passing a document from his hand, “If we can come to an agreement, I ask everyone to sign here, please.”
