Chapter 138: Chapter 138: I Know Your Choice Now

"And furthermore," Zhou Shuyan mocked as he lightly lifted the corner of his eye, "Qiu Wanyun conspired with several agents to sign high-priced agency contracts, then split the difference with the agents through kickbacks. With such a huge price difference from the past, how did you manage to sign it?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg." Zhou Shuyan’s words dripped with sarcasm. "These documents clearly spell out all the things you’ve done since you moved up the ranks—each and every detail. If you can’t remember what you did, just look at the documents. The black and white text will remind you."

"CEO... CEO..." Qiu Wanyun called out weakly as he slowly rose to his feet, "I... I resign."

He didn’t argue; Zhou Shuyan clearly held irrefutable evidence in his hand, making any defense pointless.

The corner of Zhou Shuyan’s upper lip curled up mockingly.

"Resign?" Zhou Shuyan said, full of scorn, "You think it’s that easy? You were incompetent and greedy, destroying what I built while I was away, and now that you’ve been caught, you think you can just resign?"

A chill immediately ran through their hearts.

"I know, it couldn’t have just been the three of you pulling this off. Someone must be backing you for you to dare to do it," Zhou Shuyan stated calmly, "Tell us who, and we can discuss your punishment more leniently."

"Even if you resign and join another company, they will do background checks. Chengzhou doesn’t have an obligation to keep your dirty secrets. But if you name the person behind all this, the outcome will be completely different," Zhou Shuyan watched the trio.

"Besides," Yu Zeqin added impassively, "after serving as executives at Chengzhou for so long, you can’t start at the bottom in another company."

The three men remained silent.

They understood what Zhou Shuyan meant.

He clearly wanted them to expose Zhou Xueyi.

But having been close to Zhou Xueyi for so long, they knew him well.

Zhou Xueyi was petty and vengeful.

Serving him faithfully guaranteed benefits.

But betraying him meant he would never let them off.

You can even forget about having good days ahead.

If Zhou Xueyi could cruelly plot against Zhou Shuyan, his own nephew, what more would he do to his subordinates?

The thought of betraying Zhou Xueyi sent a chilling shiver through them.

If they didn’t betray him, Zhou Xueyi would likely take care of them afterwards.

Without discussing, they unanimously decided not to expose Zhou Xueyi.

Perhaps they could still receive his goodwill and some compensation.

Seeing their silence, Zhou Shuyan understood their choice.

"I’ll give you ten minutes to think," Zhou Shuyan stated coldly, "After ten minutes, you won’t have the chance for regret."

Yu Zeqin took out his phone, set a timer, and it truly started counting down from ten minutes.

The trio thought, "You two are really meticulous."

Though the phone’s timer had no sound to hurry them, Yu Zeqin kept the screen lit and even placed the phone in front of the trio.

Seeing the countdown, they felt the pressure intensifying as if a heavy stone pressed on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Despite the air conditioning in the conference room, it felt oppressively hot and suffocating to them.

This oppressive atmosphere almost broke their resolve.

Zhou Shuyan glanced at the time; the trio had held firm till now and were not going to confess.

He had anticipated that they wouldn’t expose Zhou Xueyi on this occasion.

He hadn’t expected to succeed this time.

He could have waited for them to actually catch Zhou Xueyi red-handed.

But having seen the investigation results from Zheng Jingwei’s team, he knew he couldn’t wait.

Waiting any longer could mean Zhou Xueyi getting caught,

but the company would suffer greatly in his hands.

He was baffled that Zhou Xueyi, after all the struggles to rise to his position, would jeopardize Chengzhou for personal gain, utterly disregarding its viability.

How could this self-destructive way of making money compare to letting Chengzhou thrive and profit legitimately?

Zhou Shuyan shook his head inwardly.

"Dinglinglingling!" the bell signaling the end of the countdown suddenly rang out in the quiet room, startling the trio from Ren Hengda.

Yu Zeqin leisurely turned off the alarm and pocketed his phone.

"I know your choice," Zhou Shuyan said coolly, then turned to Yu Zeqin, "It should be time."

Yu Zeqin picked up his phone, dialed, and affirmed, "Understood."

"They just entered the elevator," Yu Zeqin reported.

The trio from Ren Hengda didn’t understand the cryptic exchange and looked on puzzled.

About a minute later, there was a knock on the conference-room door.

Yu Zeqin opened the door to see five uniformed police officers outside.

The officers, with stern faces, showed their badges to Yu Zeqin, "We’ve received a report. The suspects from Ren Hengda, Qiu Wanyun, and Gao Xuexin are involved in embezzlement."

The Ren Hengda trio had never imagined that Zhou Shuyan would actually call the police.

They thought, at worst, Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t let them resign innocently but merely fire them and inform others in the industry of their deeds, ensuring they couldn’t join another company.

But Zhou Shuyan was sending them directly to jail!

The trio turned pale with fear.

Should they expose Zhou Xueyi?

Gao Xuexin and Qiu Wanyun looked at each other with hesitation.

Ren Hengda quickly decided and shook his head at them.

Don’t tell.

Zhou Shuyan had already alerted the police and held solid evidence.

Even if they exposed Zhou Xueyi, they couldn’t escape prison and would anger Zhou Xueyi further.

They bit the bullet and endured, hoping Zhou Xueyi would remember their loyalty and at least provide some compensation.

This would ensure their families wouldn’t suffer financially while they were in prison.

Having realized this, Ren Hengda’s face was stern and severe, but he still forbade Gao Xuexin and Qiu Wanyun from speaking.

Now they couldn’t communicate, it was up to the other two to withstand.

The news of the Ren Hengda trio being escorted away by the police quickly spread through the company.

After all, many had witnessed their arrest.

Zhou Xueyi soon found out as well.

On one hand, he quickly sent lawyers to the three, instructing them on what to communicate to ensure they wouldn’t expose him.

On the other, he rushed to find Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan was in his office when Zhou Xueyi arrived at the door, only to see Yu Zeqin guarding there.
