Chapter 601 - 582: Someone Probably Wants to Take This Opportunity to Eliminate Me
Qin Mobai hung up the phone with Lou Xi, his handsome face filled with a somber expression, completely unlike the relaxed demeanor he had when speaking with Lou Xi just moments ago.
At that moment, Su Lin hurried over.
"President Qin, many relatives of the deceased have come over, not only causing a scene in the hospital but also holding banners demanding that... that you make an appearance." Su Lin was full of concern.
The company’s layoffs were initially a normal thing, but this was the Qin Family’s first layoff, and it was substantial, so it caused employee dissatisfaction.
Qin Mobai had previously stated that he would compensate the family of the deceased with a sum of condolence money, even though Qin Mobai was not responsible for the accident.
But judging by the situation, Qin Mobai’s good intentions were being used as evidence against him, with claims that the Qin Family wanted to settle the matter quietly.
Settling the matter quietly is not done this way.
"I’ll go and take a look."
"You better not go, I think someone is stirring the pot, blowing this thing up, and now public opinion is one-sided, insisting that we at the Qin Family be held accountable. If you step out now, it’ll surely provoke public outrage."
"If I don’t go, this matter will get even bigger." Qin Mobai re-tied the tie he had just loosened, "Besides, some people might want to use this opportunity to get rid of me."
Su Lin shivered, "Who wants to get rid of you?"
"You’ll know once they show up, won’t you?" Qin Mobai said lightly.
"President Qin, you know this is a trap, why would you still go? What if something really happens?"
"Is that possible?"
Qin Mobai’s confident demeanor seemed to instantly invigorate Su Lin; it had been a long time since he had seen such a spirited Qin Mobai!
He felt that nothing in this world could stymie Qin Mobai, "President Qin, I’ll always stand by your side."
Qin Mobai gave a faint smile and patted Su Lin on the shoulder.
But whether it was an illusion or not, Su Lin caught a glimpse of an unnoticeable expression in Qin Mobai’s eyes.
Was it heartache?
"Have you ever experienced the feeling of being stabbed in the back by your own brother?" This was what Qin Mobai said to Su Lin before leaving the temporary office.
Su Lin thought about it, a true brother meant someone with a blood relationship; Qin Mobai had a blood relationship, now planning to stab him in the back...
Xi Siwei!
A cold sweat ran down Su Lin’s back; now he realized that money could indeed blind people’s eyes, driving them to fight irrationally.
Thankfully, he has little money and no brothers or sisters.
...
Qin Mobai came out of the temporary office; it wasn’t a long way in the small local hospital before he saw the deceased’s family causing a commotion in the hospital lobby. They even moved the body into the lobby, with a group of people crying and demanding answers and explanations from the hospital and the Qin Family!
Someone, whose eyes were sharp, noticed the well-dressed Qin Mobai, and the already agitated family became more emotional, rushing towards Qin Mobai.
The scene was on the verge of losing control, and if it weren’t for the bodyguards and police shouting, they would have likely rushed up to beat Qin Mobai to a pulp!
"You evil capitalist, give me back my son!" An old lady threw a rock at Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai did not dodge, and the stone hit his chest hard.
"Family member, don’t get physical!" The police were maintaining order while advising the relatives not to resort to violence.
"Oh no, the police are beating people, the police are beating people!" the old lady suddenly became agitated.
Qin Mobai coughed lightly and said, "If you’re not satisfied with the compensation amount, tell me your bottom line."
