Ruan Nuo hastily bowed. “The other party refuses to part with it. We attempted negotiations several times, but it was futile.”

“Who are they?”

“FY mentioned that it’s someone from the Bo family.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mohan reluctantly conceded. The Bo family and the Cheng family shared a longstanding friendship. Falling out with the Bo family over a 30-million-yuan necklace was out of the question. He had no choice but to consider an alternative.

Ruan Nuo reopened FY’s official website. Cheng Mohan browsed once more and finally spotted a four-leaf clover necklace. The four leaves were adorned with light green diamonds, priced at 23 million. Its value was slightly lower.

“I’ll take this one.” Cheng Mohan handed the tablet back. “1’11 have dinner with my sister tonight. I’ll handle all important matters in the afternoon.”

“Yes.” Ruan Nuo selected a few more crucial documents and handed them over respectfully. “By the way, Boss, many people are aware of your return to the country and want to invite you for a meal. When do you think would be convenient in the next couple of days…”

“Reject them all.” Cheng Mohan felt it was crucial to spend more time with his sister.

Meanwhile, in the police station.

Zhao Quan continued to cry, asserting his innocence and claiming that Fang Yuan fabricated the recording. He even pleaded to see Cheng Ye in person, citing his status as an old general personally endorsed by Cheng Ye, vowing never to let the Cheng family down.

The new police officer, baffled by the intense display of emotion, reported the situation to Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui, who happened to be nearby. They drove over, entering the interrogation room with evident anger.

“President Cheng, you’ve finally arrived. Boo… I initially thought of banging my head against the wall to die here, proving my innocence. Little did 1 know, I’ve fallen into the clutches of a wicked person!”

The moment Zhao Quan laid eyes on Cheng Ye, he dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face. “You have no idea, President Cheng. That new girl framed me. I’m in agony. I’ll never forget your kindness in the past. How could I betray the Cheng family and disappoint you? She’s truly an outrageous bully!”

Clutching Cheng Ye’s feet, Zhao Quan sobbed, “President Cheng, please save me! Without you, no one can vouch for my innocence… Just say the word, and that wicked girl will be the one in custody!”

“Are you suggesting that my dear daughter has falsely accused you? And you want her to face jail time?” Qiao Xinhui’s tone was ice-cold.

Zhao Quan was momentarily stunned at the mention of “precious daughter.” He thought he might have misheard…

“Mrs. Cheng, there seems to be a misunderstanding. The new young lady I referred to…” He hadn’t been talking about Cheng Yuqi, the Cheng family’s daughter!

“She’s my precious daughter, my own flesh and blood!”

Qiao Xinhui’s declaration left Zhao Quan wide-eyed and speechless. He had forgotten how to cry…

Wasn’t the young lady’s last name Fang? How could she be the biological daughter of the Cheng family? Wasn’t the Cheng family’s daughter named Cheng Yuqi?

The shock rendered Zhao Quan temporarily mute.

“This company showed no improvement under your leadership. Originally, I considered shutting it down. However, my precious daughter was on summer vacation with nothing to do, so 1 let her have some fun with it.”

The notion of letting his daughter play in such a significant company left Zhao Quan’s mouth agape, as if he could fit two eggs in it.

“I never expected her to be so diligent and uncover so many wrongdoings in the company! I’ve witnessed the evidence of your betrayal firsthand. Yuanyuan didn’t falsely accuse you! Instead, you’re incessantly crying and even defaming her. Do you truly believe the Cheng family is an easy target?”

“No, no, no, President Cheng, you’ve misunderstood…” Zhao Quan was terrified. “I genuinely had no knowledge about that young lady. I swear, 1 had no idea she was your daughter…” Had he known, he wouldn’t have dared to be so presumptuous, even if he had a hundred guts!

In that moment, he caught sight of Qiao Xinhui’s cold expression and suddenly realized she did bear a resemblance to Fang Yuan.

“President Cheng, blinded by greed, I committed those foolish acts. I’ve let the company down, I’ve let you down…” Zhao Quan readily admitted his mistake, attempting to seek leniency.

However, before he could finish speaking, Cheng Ye kicked him away. “You’ve been here for a long time. It’s been a year since the company opened!” “President Cheng, I was truly wrong! I’m not human, I’m trash. You can hit me and scold me, but please don’t let me go to jail…” Zhao Quan crawled back on his knees, clutching at Cheng Ye’s pants, pleading. “President Cheng, I have many people in the family…”

“Let go!” Cheng Ye kicked him away again, expressing his displeasure. “When you committed these deeds, did you ever think about your family?” Regretting now was too little, too late!

“I’ve heard he frequently mistreats Yuanyuan in the company.” Qiao Xinhui addressed the police officer beside her. “Please treat him fairly. Mr. Zhao is a veteran of our company.”

“Yes!” The police officer nodded and regarded Zhao Quan with a cold gaze..
