Chapter 2465

Lu Guojun looked at them, his meaning clearly being for them to step forward voluntarily, so as to avoid him bearing the infamy of betraying his subordinates. This glance of his was quite effective; one person stood up immediately and said, "I was one of those who hit people. Officer, I'll go with you."

The other four also stood up, which made Lu Guojun very happy. Of course, he still wore a very solemn expression on his face.

These subordinates of Lu Guojun knew his character too well. They knew that even if they didn't step forward today, Lu Guojun would sooner or later hand them over anyway. So, it was better to just step forward themselves; it was only a matter of hitting someone, and going with the police would at most result in a few days of detention.

Besides, if they stepped forward voluntarily, Lu Guojun would surely give them some compensation, right?

In fact, Lu Guojun's worry about whether he would chill the hearts of those people was completely unnecessary. Did those people follow him because he was righteous? Because he possessed such kingly charisma that others would just bow down to him? Didn't those people follow him because of his status and his wealth?

As long as he remained the son of the Executive Vice Governor, and as long as he still had money, these people would never leave him. It was just that his dream of becoming a legendary underworld boss was impossible for a lifetime.

In the end, these five people went with Liu Wentao and the others to the Jiefang Road Police Station. The fate awaiting them should be a few days of detention; it was only a matter of hitting someone, so it wouldn't be too heavy a punishment.

And it was also necessary for the Guangda Trading Company to compensate Accountant Xu for his medical expenses. These medical expenses might not be much, but such a gesture was mandatory.

The several hundred people brought by Lu Guojun scattered like birds and beasts under the close surveillance of the riot squad, and the riot squad also withdrew under Qi Canghai's orders. The entrance to the Guangda Trading Company returned to its due calm.

Su Xinghui, Yu Ruizhi, and the others also left. However, before leaving, Yu Ruizhi looked down at Lu Guojun and said, "Lu Guojun, I advise you: don't play your little tricks anymore, and don't come up with any more schemes. Otherwise, I'll make you pay dearly!"

The events that happened today were stripping away Lu Guojun's face, one by one. Especially the words Yu Ruizhi said to him when he left—they simply left Lu Guojun disgraced and feeling deeply humiliated. Yet, he didn't dare to say anything; he could only stand there listening, watching Su Xinghui, Yu Ruizhi, and the others walk away arrogantly.

Lu Guojun's fists clenched until they creaked, and his fingernails dug into his palms, drawing blood. One could see how intense the hatred in his heart was, but no matter how intense the hatred, he could only keep it inside for now.

Everyone had left, and the conference room became empty, leaving only Niu Xiaoli and Lu Guojun. Niu Xiaoli cried out, "Brother Jun, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Guojun looked down at Niu Xiaoli and slapped her across the face again, knocking her onto the sofa. He cursed, "It's all because of you, you bitch! You caused this trouble for me and made me suffer such humiliation!"

Niu Xiaoli was completely bewildered. She cried and said, "Brother Jun, what happened? What did I do wrong?"

Although Lu Guojun was furious, he still had some reason left. He didn't dare to casually reveal Yu Ruizhi's identity. He cursed, "Stop asking, damn it! You provoked someone you couldn't afford to offend today, and you even dragged me into it!"

Niu Xiaoli said pitifully, "Brother Jun, then if those accounting firm people come to investigate again, what should we do?"

Lu Guojun was actually stumped by Niu Xiaoli's question. This was indeed a difficult problem. Their dealings with the Yanzhi Group were all in the shadows; how could they tell anyone?

But Yu Ruizhi had already spoken: if the accounting firm came to investigate and collect evidence again, they had to cooperate and not make things difficult. This was going to be hard to handle.

People like Lu Guojun believed in backgrounds because he had gotten so far only by relying on his father, the Executive Vice Governor, and his mother's family influence. Precisely because of this, he was so fearful of Yu Ruizhi's identity. The Yu family was a top-tier powerhouse now, an existence the Lu family couldn't afford to provoke.

But they couldn't just raise their hands and surrender. If this Guangda Trading Company really had problems uncovered, it would implicate him, and even implicate his father, eventually evolving into a storm. This was a result they couldn't bear.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Guojun said to Niu Xiaoli, "Next time they come, stall them if you can, and fob them off if you can. Or how about this: just go and get hospitalized. You've been beaten into such a pig-head look anyway."

Niu Xiaoli nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go get hospitalized."

After leaving the Guangda Trading Company and heading to the Jiefang Road Police Station, Qi Canghai said to Yu Ruizhi, "President Yu, why don't I host a dinner today to welcome you? Everyone should come."

Yu Ruizhi shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'm not in the mood today. You go back first; we have to head back too."

Qi Canghai knew that his performance today had left Yu Ruizhi somewhat dissatisfied. He couldn't find a way to reverse this impression immediately, so he could only smile apologetically and say, "Alright then, President Yu, I'll be going first."

Watching Qi Canghai's retreating back, Yu Ruizhi shook his head. He used to be a real man; how did he become so slippery now?

However, although Yu Ruizhi was dissatisfied, Qi Canghai calling the riot squad today was a key step in turning the situation around, and he had acted very decisively. On this point, Qi Canghai still had ability, so Yu Ruizhi had nothing more to say.

If Qi Canghai hadn't called the riot squad, in that situation, Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui might have only been able to control Lu Guojun and use him as a hostage to leave the scene.

The group returned to the Yanzhi Group. Yin Deshan, Gu Zhilin, Qin Heshun, and others were all waiting for them in the conference room. They were very concerned about how this matter would be handled. As soon as Su Xinghui and the others returned, the crowd surrounded them, asking about the situation.

The two workers sent by Qin Heshun to protect Su Xinghui excitedly recounted the heroic performance of Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi today. Everyone was very happy to hear that the matter had been resolved so satisfactorily and that justice had been served for Accountant Xu.

And Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi naturally became heroes in their eyes once again. Everyone praised them endlessly; today's events were truly satisfying.
