Chapter 3815: You Can’t Leave

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Sun Hancheng looked at Lin Yi, feeling a chill down his spine, but he still pretended to be calm and said:

"You might be disappointed, I don’t have that much money at all, and it isn’t enough to change the company’s crisis, Director Lin, please don’t make it difficult for me."

"I know, you’ve transferred your money abroad, you really don’t have much on hand, and not only that, your wife and children are also overseas. I also know you’ve been waiting for the opportunity, and once the time is ripe, you’ll leave, not caring about the mess back home, am I right?"

Sun Hancheng blushed but still maintained a calm demeanor without panicking.

"Director Lin, what do you mean, are you secretly investigating me?"

"It’s not an investigation yet; since the problem arose, the internet has been abuzz with things about you and the Chuangrong Group, and many people have dug up everything about you," Lin Yi said:

"But what I want to say is, you’re too naive, you think things are too simple, I can tell you clearly, if this issue isn’t resolved, you won’t be able to leave."

"If you’re willing to take out the money to alleviate this crisis, then there’s a sliver of hope. If you want to keep the money for your wife and children to live carefree lives, with you growing old alone in prison, I have no words for that."

This time, Sun Hancheng was a bit flustered.

He hadn’t thought about the possibility that he couldn’t leave.

"Have there been messages passed down from above?"

"That’s not for you to ask, I can only tell you, if the problem isn’t resolved, you absolutely can’t leave," Lin Yi said:

"Maybe you don’t care about this matter, thinking it’s very manly to leave the money for your wife and kids, but I can tell you, if you don’t give the money back, they won’t have peace either, there are still ways to make them hand the money over."

Cold sweat seeped from Sun Hancheng’s forehead, and he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

"Impossible, they’re all abroad, no one can bring them back."

"Don’t easily judge things you don’t know," Lin Yi said blandly:

"You might suddenly die inexplicably at home one day, and do you think they might have a car accident someday?"

Sun Hancheng shivered, unable to sit still.

"You, what are you saying?"

"Just that you can’t leave," Lin Yi said calmly:

"Once everything’s investigated, you’ll be the one caught, and even if you want to hand over the money by then, it may not solve the problem. Moreover, once you’re in, the fate of your wife and children will be more or less the same as yours, and your family’s money will naturally end up in someone else’s pocket. Do you think this is the outcome you want?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi pushed his phone over.

Displayed were photos of Sun Hancheng’s wife and children.

"Do you really think they can live peacefully abroad?"

Seeing the photos, Sun Hancheng couldn’t sit still any longer.

"You actually sent people to track them!"

"It’s not tracking, just a reminder," Lin Yi said:

"We’re all part of this circle; I have no need to harm you."

"But we’ve only met a few times; no deep connection. Director Lin, what you’re doing makes me question your motives."

"You don’t need to worry about my motives, I’m just telling you the final result," Lin Yi said:

"It’s your choice how to act, I’ll wait for your call."

After finishing, Lin Yi stood up and left.

"Director Lin!"

Sun Hancheng stopped Lin Yi.

"Is this really the final chance?"

Lin Yi paused and turned back, saying, "Do you think I came all this way just to joke with you?

Sun Hancheng sat dumbfounded in the chair, as if he were in a daze.

Back in his car, Lin Yi checked the time; it was already the end of the workday, but he still had to go back and check out.

When he got back to the office, it was already past seven in the evening.

He discovered someone was still inside; 18 was sitting in the office writing diligently.

Instinctively, Lin Yi glanced towards the office and saw Zhao Jing was also there.

Lin Yi smiled; doing a show to this extent was quite something.

Lin Yi didn’t bother with any of it and directly clocked out.

But at that moment, Zhao Jing’s voice came from the office.

"Lin Yi, come here."

Upon hearing Zhao Jing call him, Lin Yi turned and went in.

"Director, you were looking for me."

"How’s the Chuangrong matter going?"

"It’s proceeding in an orderly manner; it may take some time to have results."

"Actually, the social significance of this issue exceeds that of your work itself; even if you don’t fight for the final result, if you can report it thoroughly, it’s a good thing," Zhao Jing looked at Lin Yi:

"This isn’t the purpose of work; it’s the purpose of being a journalist."

"I understand."

Zhao Jing nodded, "I called you over, but not to talk about this."

"Is there something else?"

"Did you meet Xu Qingqing the other day and not give way to her in the elevator?"

"I was there first, why should I give way to her?"

"You don’t seem very impressed by celebrities," Zhao Jing said with a smile:

"If it were a scientist or something, I’d definitely give way, but she’s just an actress, not that much more noble than anyone else."

"That indeed matches an adult’s definition of celebrities, but it shouldn’t be generalized. Some veteran artists with both virtue and artistry are quite respectable."

"That’s true; some are indeed decent," Lin Yi casually said, "Did you call me over just to talk about this?"

"Yes, after knowing you’re from the new media department, one of the station’s leaders talked to me about it."

Lin Yi felt a bit helpless, "No matter what, we are still a TV station, she’s just a celebrity, why make it seem like we’re fawning over her."

Zhao Jing chuckled, "No choice, everyone has to chase performance, Xu Qingqing now represents traffic, naturally, we have to support her, but I’m not blaming you, just asking you to temper your attitude, there’s no need to stubbornly fight over something like this."

"Anyway, I’m too lazy to bother, as long as she doesn’t act pretentious in front of me."

"I’ve already told you to temper your attitude," Zhao Jing said:

"Building good relationships can also facilitate future job transfers."

Lin Yi smiled, "I’ll try my best."

"Alright, now go clock out."

"Okay."

With a response, Lin Yi turned and left.

Zhao Jing watched Lin Yi’s back, lost in thought.

She’d been in this position for a while, interacting with many new employees.

But none were as calm and composed as Lin Yi; even when speaking, it was hard to see herself as the supervisor as she often felt overshadowed by his presence.

Unconsciously, Zhao Jing thought again of that proof issued by the court.

Was it merely coincidental, or did he obtain it through personal connections?
