When Qin Chaoyan got out of the car, Ye Rongxu complained in a low voice, “I don’t know why they want to see you.”
They won’t summon someone to the headquarters if nothing serious happens, right?
He felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Qin Chaoyan stroked his upturned hair and chuckled, “They said they were going to have a meeting.”
Ye Rongxu grabbed his hand and said, “I’ll ask Uncle Chen to pick you up after the meeting, ok? Has the college entrance examination result been announced? Let’s go to my house tonight to check the result together.”
Qin Chaoyan nodded: “Okay.”
Ye Rongxu was satisfied and sat back in the car.
Qin Chaoyan helped close the car door, watched the car leave, then stopped smiling and turned to walk into the Qin headquarters building.
Lou Xinyu had been waiting for him in the lobby. Seeing him coming, he hurried forward.
“Boss Qin, you’re here…”
What’s going on with auditing? “Qin Chaoyan furrowed his brow slightly and asked succinctly as he walked.
Lou Xinyu followed his pace with a slightly anxious tone: “I don’t know; it’s a routine inspection, but the headquarters didn’t notify us in advance; it was very sudden…”
They were not afraid of the inspection, but they always felt that this matter was weird. “Problems” might be found even if there’s no problem.
Just after this thought, the two walked into the meeting room. They were not greeted by the major shareholders who were about to have a meeting but by the police and several senior executives of the headquarters, including the chairman, Qin Qijiang.
The police quickly stepped forward, presented the document, and said in a flat tone, “Mr. Qin, you are suspected of embezzlement and illegal possession of company finances. Your company has reported this matter to the police. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation.”
Lou Xinyu, who followed in, was stunned, and then his heart sank like a huge stone. After coming back to his senses, he suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Damn, his crow mouth really jinxed this.
He couldn’t help but look at Qin Chaoyan worriedly.
Qin Chaoyan stood solemnly at the door; his expression was particularly calm. He glanced at the documents, then turned his head to look at Qin Qijiang, who was sitting at the head of the conference table.
Qin Qijiang had a gloomy face and a ruthless tone: “I didn’t expect you to do such a thing. Not only did you steal the finance, but you also poached the company’s technical backbone, intending to establish a new faction. The Qin family really raised you in vain.”
Hearing this, Lou Xinyu couldn’t help but feel unfair for Qin Chaoyan.
Little Boss Qin did want to leave Jiazhao and start another company, and even he had made up his mind to go with Little Boss Qin, including two or three other people in the company who did have the same intention.
But they were all impressed by Little Boss Qin’s ability and felt that working with him had a promising future. Moreover, they were all management personnel, not technical backbones. Besides, Little Boss Qin’s new company’s business didn’t overlap with Jiazhao, and the people who left weren’t highly valued during their time at the Qin Group. How could it be called poaching?
It was obvious that someone had set up a trap, and arguing with them is useless. Maybe the chairman knows the real situation. Maybe they just want to please the Xie family and pave the way for the eldest young master in the family?
Lou Xinyu can think of it, so could Qin Chaoyan.
He gave Qin Qijiang a cold glance without saying a word, then turned around and left with the police in cooperation.
Lou Xinyu was anxious when he saw this and hurriedly thought of a way
There are not many people who can help President Qin now. Old Lady Qin has always supported Little Boss Qin before, but now that this has happened, it’s hard to say. There’s also… the Ye family.
Yes, Ye Rongxu!
Lou Xinyu’s eyes lit up slightly, but the next second, he remembered that he didn’t have Ye Rongxu’s contact information.
“Mr. Lou, please come with us and cooperate with the investigation.”
Lou Xinyu’s expression froze. He quickly sent a message to his trusted secretary before cooperating with the police.
Just as they got in the police car, Qin Jingxu, Xie Yi, and his group passed by from a distance and walked towards the lobby of Qin’s headquarters.
The man in the lead was sitting in a wheelchair and appeared to be a middle-aged man, with a face that still had some of the handsomeness of his youth and an extraordinarily cold and heavy aura.
Qin Jingxu and Xie Yi, both dressed in black suits, followed him respectfully.
He stroked the silver ring on his thumb, and before entering the headquarters building, he seemed to turn his head to look at the police car with a cold expression.
Qin Jingxu also turned his head. When he saw the police car, he slightly raised his lips, with a little pleasure hidden in his eyes.
The middle-aged man quickly retracted his gaze and said in a slightly cold voice, “Let’s go.”
Qin Jingxu hurriedly stepped forward to help push the door respectfully: “Okay, uncle.”
In the police car, Qin Chaoyan also retracted his gaze, with an indifferent expression.

Not long after Ye Rongxu got home, he suddenly received a strange call.
Generally, he wouldn’t answer such unknown calls, but this number called twice in a row, so he finally answered it.
“Hello, is this Mr. Ye Rongxu?” The voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious and strange.
“I am. Who are you?” Ye Rongxu asked.
“Mr. Ye, I’m the secretary of Manager Lou of Jiazhao Technology Company…”
Ye Rongxu frowned and quietly listened to the words on the phone, his thin white fingers gradually squeezing as he listened.
“I understand. Thank you for letting me know.”
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t hide the anxiety on his face and hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to go downstairs.
Just out of the elevator, he ran into Ye Boxuan, who had just gotten back home. He hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to go over, his voice urgent: “Dad, something happened to Qin Chaoyan.”
Ye Boxuan hurriedly supported his wheelchair and comforted him: “Don’t worry, I know.”
Ye Rongxu was stunned: “You know?”
Ye Boxuan nodded: “I just heard.”
Qin Group suddenly called the police today and arrested the person in charge of its own branch. Of course, this matter cannot be concealed from people in the business circle.
What’s more, the Ye and Qin families have close cooperation. Because of the Xie family, Ye Boxuan has recently paid special attention to the Qin Group and knew about this matter right away.
He hurried back just now to deal with this matter, and at the same time, he was afraid that Ye Rongxu would worry, so he came back to comfort him.
Ye Rongxu had never experienced such a thing, and when he first knew about this, he was inevitably panicked. Now that Ye Boxuan is back, he has gradually calmed down.
“Dad, Qin Chaoyan will be okay, right? What should we do now?” He grabbed his father’s hand and asked with his head raised.
Ye Boxuan patted his back to comfort him and said, “It’s okay; it’s just an investigation. I will bring a lawyer to bail him out first. It’s actually not that big of a deal. Someone should have set up a trap. It will be fine after the investigation. The problem is… whether the Xie family is also involved in this matter.”
Speaking of this, his tone sank slightly.
It’s not difficult for the Ye family to protect Qin Chaoyan this time, but if it’s the Xie family that is targeting Qin Chaoyan, the other party definitely wouldn’t just strike this once.
If Qin Chaoyan continues to be protected by them, the two families will inevitably confront each other later.
Ye Boxuan didn’t want to engage in the life-and-death game in the business world now, not to mention that the Ye family and the Xie family were once old friends, but he couldn’t just ignore Qin Chaoyan.
“The Qin Group will hold a shareholders’ meeting tomorrow. I heard that Xie Yunming is also here. He’s probably here to help Qin Jingxu get back the shares left by Xie Yunzhao. If the Xie family is behind Qin Chaoyan’s incident, it’s probably to vent Xie Yunzhao’s anger.” Ye Boxuan sighed.
Then he said, “I need to arrange a meeting with Xie Yunming to see if we can talk this over.”
They need to clarify that Qin Chaoyan has no intention to compete for the Qin Group, so they don’t need to target him.
He hopes that the little bit of past friendship between the two families is still useful and Xie Yunming will agree.
However, thinking that Xie Yunming is crazy and has no rationality, Ye Boxuan isn’t very optimistic.
Ye Rongxu was stunned when he heard this and said in a daze, “Dad, there’s something I want to tell you. It’s about Qin Chaoyan…”
*
It was already evening when Qin Chaoyan was released on bail pending trial.
During this period, Ye Boxuan contacted Xie Yunming but failed to get through. It seemed that the other side refused to communicate.
Ye Rongxu remembered that he had Xie Yu’s WeChat and tried to call him, but no one answered. When he tried to send a message, he was blocked.
“F*ck.” Ye Rongxu stared at his phone, unbelievable. This was the first time someone blocked him.
Then Ye Boxuan patted his head and scolded him: “Hey, no swearing allowed at home.”
Ye Rongxu: “Uh.”
He rubbed his head and said, “I’ll contact Cao Yuxuan again; he should be able to contact Xie Yu.”
“No need.” Qin Chaoyan suddenly spoke at this time, his tone calm.
Ye Boxuan nodded and agreed: “It should be Xie Yunming who didn’t let Xie Yu contact you. It seems that he has a deep prejudice. Even if you ask your little friend to help pass the message, he may not believe it.”
Ye Rongxu frowned. They had already tried their best to notify them, but it was the Xie family who ignored them. If they regretted it in the future, he would not sympathize with them.
Ye Boxuan also sighed and said, “It seems that we can only meet at the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow.”

The presidential suite of the hotel
Xie Yu watched the bodyguard take his phone away and block Ye Rongxu, then looked up cautiously at the cold man sitting on the sofa.
“Is this okay, uncle?”
Xie Yunming nodded slightly.
Xie Yu breathed a sigh of relief and reached out for his phone, thinking that he should leave quickly and release the other party from the blacklist while it’s still recent and Rongxu might not know yet.
But the bodyguard holding the phone didn’t let go.
Xie Yu froze and turned to look at Xie Yunming again.
Xie Yunming said in a casual tone, “Tomorrow’s meeting is important. Since you accidentally heard it, don’t take your phone back for the time being. Stay here tonight and don’t think about tipping off.”
Xie Yu: “I didn’t want to tip anyone off…”
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yunming’s icy gaze silenced him.
He was always afraid of this uncle, who was usually cold and had a changeable temper. Seeing this, he looked at his elder brother standing beside him for help.
Xie Yi shook his head secretly and told him to stop making trouble.

The next day, the Qin Group held a shareholders’ meeting. All shareholders, big and small, arrived on time. Even Old Lady Qin, who had not attended the shareholders’ meeting for a long time due to health reasons in the past two years, came.
Everyone present knew that yesterday, Little President Qin of the Jiazhao branch was suddenly taken away by the police, and then Xie Yunming, the head of the Xie Group, appeared in the Qin Group. Today’s shareholders’ meeting might be a battlefield without a knife.
But it’s still unknown whether Old Lady Qin, who had always supported Little President Qin of Jiazhao, would directly turn against him and be strangled by her son and grandson in conjunction with outsiders when Little President Qin was arrested, or whether she could turn the tide like Old Mister Qin did in the past.
Just as everyone was secretly speculating, Qin Jingxu stood up with an unconcealable smile and announced the official start of the shareholders’ meeting—
But before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: “Wait.”
Then the door was pushed open, and Qin Chaoyan, wearing a dark suit and a tie, stood at the door.
Beside him was Lou Xinyu, who bowed to help open the door.
Everyone turned to look at them, and Xie Yunming, who was sitting at the top, also tilted his head slightly, looking at Qin Chaoyan with a scrutinizing look.
The smile on Qin Jingxu’s face froze. He opened his mouth, saying, “Why are you…”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Chaoyan walked into the room, glanced at everyone, and said coldly, “If I remember correctly, I’m also a shareholder.”
Qin Jingxu’s face was a little ugly. Yes, Qin Chaoyan was a shareholder of Qin Group. After the other party got engaged to Ye Rongxu, he got the part of the equity promised in the marriage agreement. That was… the equity that once belonged to him.
Qin Jingxu gritted his teeth secretly and soon calmed down, thinking, So what? How long do you think you can occupy that share?
He quickly regained his gentle smile and was about to speak, but the door was pushed open again.
This time it was Ye Rongxu.
He was wearing a black suit, and the tie seemed to be the same as Qin Chaoyan’s. With a delicate and beautiful face, he sat in a wheelchair and was pushed in by Ji Qingyu.
Everyone present was stunned again. Ye Rongxu was Qin Chaoyan’s fiancé and the only son of the chairman of Ye Group.
Although he was not working in Ye Group due to health reasons, Ji Qingyu, behind him, was one of the five core executives of Ye Group. Since these two people appeared at the shareholders’ meeting of Qin Group at the same time, things might not be purely as simple as the young master coming to give his fiancé a boost.
Sure enough, when Ye Rongxu saw that everyone was looking at him, he pressed his collar with his slender white fingers and smiled, “I’m attending this shareholders’ meeting on behalf of the Ye Group.”
Everyone understood that the Ye Group was the third largest shareholder of the Qin Group, and it was reasonable that they should send representatives to attend the meeting.
Originally, the Ye Group was the second largest shareholder; only this half-year it became the Xie Group.
