The Han Group, as the leading major conglomerate in South City, has financial resources and influence far surpassing even the Zhou Group and Pan Group.
This is evident from its skyscraper headquarters dominating South City's center!
Back then, just building this skyscraper cost Han Shilong nearly a billion Chinese Yuan, making it a landmark construction and the tallest building in the precious real estate of South City.
Han Shilong holds dual roles as chairman and CEO of the group, and his status is extremely high. It is said that his office is on the top floor of the skyscraper, from where he can overlook the entire South City and take in all the smaller hills.
Yet at this moment, beneath the imposing and authoritative Han Group building, several special department vehicles arrived, and then the confident and majestic Situ Yan, with a full twenty subordinates, got off and strode directly into the building.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Two rows of professional security guards immediately stepped forward to block them and asked.
"I'm looking for Han Lengxuan!" Situ Yan replied coldly, "This is my ID."
As she spoke, Situ Yan took out her officer's ID and handed it to the lead guard to see.
After seeing it, the guards were shocked, realizing they were here for the Young Master, and they were from the action department. What had Young Master Han done?
But even if Young Master Han had done something, the other party couldn't just brazenly charge in like this. This would cause such a bad image and bring immeasurable harm to Young Master Han's reputation.
"Young Master Han is in a meeting with the chairman right now, could you wait a bit? Or let me find a way to notify him first?" the lead security guard cautiously asked.
Situ Yan pushed the lead guard aside impatiently without a word, then led her team directly inside with large strides.
"Captain, this is..." The group of security guards were dumbfounded, looking uneasily at their leader, not knowing what to do.
"Let's follow and see!" The lead security guard, who had never seen such a scene, also followed. Normally, anyone from the official offices visiting the Han Group, the top taxpayer in South City, would be treated politely. How could this beautiful officer dare to storm in so recklessly?
…
Upstairs, the group meeting room.
Han Shilong was discussing the next strategic investment project of the company with the board members when the secretary burst in anxiously, saying, "Chairman, something's wrong..."
Han Shilong's speech was interrupted, and he looked coldly at his secretary.
Interruptions during a meeting were frowned upon, but he knew his longtime secretary wouldn't fail to understand basic etiquette, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Chairman, a group from the action department has come up, saying they want to take... take Young Master Han away..." The secretary spoke fearfully, cautiously glancing at Han Lengxuan.
Once the words fell, the previously confident Han Lengxuan suddenly became nervous!
He knew what he had done!
The toxic almond incident at Fengming Company was making waves online, and as the true instigator behind the scenes, he was still coldly watching the farce before the meeting today. Now that the action department was looking for him, it was a bad sign. Could the case have been discovered?
But on second thought, it seemed impossible. His plan was flawless, leaving no traces, and Chen Peng, who was responsible for switching, had already fled back to the Southern area. Even if the action department wanted to investigate this case, it shouldn't be that easy, not to mention that they tracked down to him within just the second day.
He took a deep breath, reminding himself to stay composed and remain seated steadily.
Upon hearing his secretary's words, Han Shilong was also mildly shocked, his face growing more unpleasant!
Seeing the board members whispering among themselves, he realized the severity of the situation even more!
Originally, he brought his son along to the meeting to pave the way, letting his son first get familiar with meeting processes and then sending a message to the board, indicating his intentions.
But now, if something happened to his son during the board meeting, not to mention taking over, even being part of the group in the future would be uncertain. A person with a bad reputation and poor character could not take on great responsibilities. He, as chairman, couldn't act against the will of the people.
"Do you know what's going on?" Han Shilong turned to look at Han Lengxuan.
"I don't know. Maybe they got it wrong?" Han Lengxuan feigned calmness, saying, "Why would they come after me? I'm upright and not afraid of shadows, never having done anything illegal or outrageous. It's ridiculous that they come looking for me!"
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and the guards didn't manage to stop them. Situ Yan directly led her team into the meeting room.
In an instant, the more than twenty board members all turned their heads to look at these uninvited guests.
Situ Yan's cold and beautiful face scanned everyone, finally fixing on Han Lengxuan sitting at Han Shilong's right-hand side, beckoning coldly, "There, take him away!"
Behind her, Niu Tao and the others immediately stepped up, ready to yank Han Lengxuan out and take him away.
"What are you doing? What law did I break? On what grounds are you arresting me?" Han Lengxuan stood up righteously and shouted angrily.
"Han Lengxuan, you're still pretending? You know what you've done. Do I really need to expose you in public?" Situ Yan sneered.
"I'm telling you, you can't frame an innocent person. Without concrete evidence, you can't take me!" Han Lengxuan continued to argue sternly.
"Ha! No evidence? Han Lengxuan, don't hold any illusions. Chen Peng from Su City has confessed to everything. No matter how much you deny it, it's useless. You'd better come with us obediently and spare yourself the embarrassment!" Situ Yan replied with disdain.
With these words, Han Lengxuan was utterly dumbfounded!
Never did he imagine that within just a day and a night, the action department had already infiltrated the Southern region and found Chen Peng?
With this development, he indeed couldn't escape responsibility, and the confidence he had forced onto himself crumbled instantly. In a hurry, he turned to his father for help, crying, "Dad! Help me!!"
Han Shilong, unfazed by storms big and small, remained seated unfalteringly. Hearing his son's cry, he coldly looked at Situ Yan and asked, "Officer, do make it clear, what crime has my son committed exactly?"
"Have you heard of the toxic almond incident at Fengming Company? It was entirely orchestrated by your son, who bribed others to swap in fake almonds, harming a large number of innocent consumers and ultimately forcing Fengming Company to close down. As one of the main culprits, I'm here to take him back to reopen the case and bring justice to Fengming!" Situ Yan stated firmly yet respectfully.
"Preposterous! My son is of what status? Would he need to deal with a no-name small company? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Han Shilong asked with suppressed anger, indicating he truly was unaware of the unscrupulous actions of Han Lengxuan in this case.
"You should ask your son, but you won't get the chance now. You can ask him later when you visit him in prison--take him away!" Situ Yan commanded aggressively, ordering her subordinates to take away the panicked and shouting Han Lengxuan!
