Top floor, CEO's office.
After Zhou Zheng took his phone and left, Lu Bochuan didn't say another word.
Ren Qiuyang grew anxious. "Bochuan, it's obvious that Shu Qingqing approached you on purpose. Even her marrying you might have been arranged by Li Dagang."
Seeing Lu Bochuan still looking down in silence, she couldn't help but stand up and try to walk over to him.
Lu Bochuan suddenly looked up. "You can leave now."
Ren Qiuyang froze. "What... what do you mean? You don't believe me?"
Lu Bochuan tapped his fingers against the desk.
If the car accident was truly orchestrated by Li Dagang, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly and bring Li Dagang to justice.
As for everything else.
He didn't believe a single word of it.
He had already witnessed Ren Qiuyang's unscrupulous methods last time.
Therefore, Ren Qiuyang had absolutely zero credibility with him.
Lu Bochuan dialed the intercom again.
Zhou Zheng quickly pushed the door open and came in, making a "please leave" gesture toward Ren Qiuyang.
"I'm not leaving!" Ren Qiuyang grabbed the photos and slammed them in front of Lu Bochuan. "The evidence is right here! Plus, Li Dagang said himself that he wants Shu Qingqing to help him steal evidence from you! Do you have to wait until Li Dagang succeeds before you believe it?"
Lu Bochuan looked at Zhou Zheng. "Call security."
Zhou Zheng nodded and immediately took out his phone.
Ren Qiuyang looked at him in sheer disbelief. "You're actually calling security to kick me out? Lu Bochuan, after all our years of history, you're treating me like this?"
"What's so good about Shu Qingqing? What makes her worth you defending her like this! Her motives are impure! She wants to ruin you!"
"I'm the only one who truly loves you! Don't you understand?"
Lu Bochuan frowned.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly went to grab Ren Qiuyang.
"Zhou Zheng, don't you dare touch me!" Ren Qiuyang gripped the desk tightly.
Surprisingly, even as a man, Zhou Zheng couldn't pry her hands off.
Fortunately, security came up quickly.
Four of them, in fact.
Zhou Zheng didn't know what Ren Qiuyang had done previously, so he didn't dare to be too harsh. "President Ren, you should head back for now."
Ren Qiuyang glanced at the security guards and suddenly laughed. "Lu Bochuan, you'll regret this sooner or later."
She smoothed out her clothes and walked straight out of the office.
Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to personally escort Ren Qiuyang downstairs to ensure she left, he saw Ren Qiuyang glance at her phone, her expression suddenly lighting up with excitement.
Looking at the message Kong Xiaoxiao had sent, Ren Qiuyang's hands trembled with excitement!
Kong Xiaoxiao had not only found proof that Li Dagang had sponsored Shu Qingqing, but also evidence that Li Dagang had arranged for Shu Qingqing to become his secretary back in the day!
She turned around and marched right back into the office.
"Bochuan, look. These are the documents Li Dagang submitted when he applied to sponsor Shu Qingqing, along with records of his remittances to her over those years."
"And this chat log—look at the timestamp. Five years ago, Li Dagang instructed your HR manager at the time to arrange for Shu Qingqing to be your secretary."
"Then look at this photo of Li Dagang meeting Shu Qingqing. Isn't this the day before the bidding for the Repulse Bay project? Shu Qingqing was definitely telling Li Dagang about the price quote."
"Bochuan, now you can finally believe that everything I'm saying is true, right?" Ren Qiuyang looked at Lu Bochuan with hopeful eyes.
Lu Bochuan stared at the images on the phone, his eyes darkening.
Ren Qiuyang noticed the change in his expression and immediately said, "Bochuan, I don't think just divorcing Shu Qingqing is enough. Her actions constitute an occupational crime. You can sue her and make her..."
Before she could finish, Lu Bochuan interrupted her.
"I know. You can go now."
Ren Qiuyang frowned. "You're kicking me out again? I'm giving you ideas; I'm trying to help you."
Lu Bochuan's voice was freezing cold. "I don't need you to trouble yourself."
Ren Qiuyang sensed something was wrong. "Bochuan... do you still not believe me? Or are you saying... even if all this is true, you still don't plan to divorce Shu Qingqing or hold her accountable?"
Lu Bochuan: "It has nothing to do with you. Get out."
Ren Qiuyang took a few steps back and suddenly laughed. "Nothing to do with me? Haha, you're right, it has nothing to do with me."
"But I imagine it has a lot to do with the other board directors of the Lu Group."
"Tell me, if I sent this evidence to the other directors in your company, do you think they would care? Rumor has it that the Repulse Bay project could have made a profit of at least thirty billion."
"Moreover, I highly doubt this is the only thing Shu Qingqing has done for Li Dagang."
"I'm sure the other directors will follow the trail and dig up even more evidence of Shu Qingqing helping Li Dagang."
"If you won't hold her accountable, there are plenty of people who will!"
She wasn't going to let Shu Qingqing off easy!
Ren Qiuyang grabbed her phone and turned to leave.
Lu Bochuan clenched his fists, suddenly stood up, and blocked Ren Qiuyang's path.
"...I never said I didn't believe you."
Ren Qiuyang hadn't expected his sudden change in attitude. She frowned: "Then why did you tell me to leave just now?"
Lu Bochuan suppressed his disgust and explained, "Just now... I was simply too angry."
Ren Qiuyang's face instantly lit up with joy again. "Bochuan, you do believe me, right? So what are you going to do?"
Lu Bochuan curled his fingers inward.
He absolutely couldn't let the other directors see this evidence. The most urgent task right now was to pacify Ren Qiuyang.
Lu Bochuan: "Of course, I won't allow anyone to harm the company's interests. But I need to gather complete evidence before I can initiate legal proceedings."
Ren Qiuyang nodded in agreement. "Right, we need to find the complete evidence as soon as possible."
Lu Bochuan glanced at her phone. "How about this: give all of this to me, and I will investigate the matter thoroughly as soon as possible."
Ren Qiuyang was about to agree but then lowered her hand. "Bochuan, I think I'll hold onto this evidence for now. What if I give it to you and Shu Qingqing accidentally sees it? You go ahead and investigate. Once you have the rest of the evidence, I'll hand this over to you all at once."
Lu Bochuan knew he couldn't take the evidence from Ren Qiuyang for the time being, so he had no choice but to say, "Then keep it safe for me for now, and don't let anyone else know about it. After all, the other directors in the company all harbor ulterior motives and want to drag me down from my position."
Naturally, Ren Qiuyang agreed. "Alright then, Bochuan, hurry up and investigate. If you need any help, just come to me."
Lu Bochuan patiently offered a few perfunctory words and finally sent her on her way.
Ren Qiuyang went downstairs and was just about to leave when she saw Shu Qingqing sitting in the lounge area of the first-floor lobby.
Ren Qiuyang walked over. "Qingqing, are you here to see Bochuan?"
Shu Qingqing glanced at her but didn't speak.
Ren Qiuyang didn't mind. "Why didn't you go up since you're here? Oh, right, Bochuan was just talking with me, so he didn't have time to see you."
Shu Qingqing sneered, "It seems that slap from your father didn't teach you a lesson."
"You!"
Ren Qiuyang wanted to hurl a torrent of abuse at Shu Qingqing, and she also wanted to tell her that she already knew Shu Qingqing was Li Dagang's spy. However, she had promised Lu Bochuan to keep it a secret.
"Shu Qingqing, your good days are numbered." Throwing down this sentence, Ren Qiuyang walked away.
