Chapter 624 - 15: Little Sister-in-law (15)
Chapter 624 - 15: Little Sister-in-law (15)
Hu Angran has to pay a large penalty here, is being pressed for debts here, and needs to keep the company stable, with employees on edge; he must also reassure them.
He’s truly exhausted.
After all, he is a smart person and knows he’s been tricked.
After thinking for a bit, he directly sent a text to Bai Siyang.
[How dare you play me, the planning document surely has issues. Either pay me five hundred million, or wait for the video to go viral. I’m sure the Bai Family’s reputation won’t look too good.]
Bai Siyang saw the text, the puppet was also beside him, so naturally, Li Shuning saw it too. She thought about it and had the intelligent system monitor Hu Angran’s side, otherwise, regardless of what happened, if the photos leaked out, even though it wasn’t her, the impact would not be good.
As for the video, Li Shuning knew the woman in it could never be her, but with that composite photo, who knows what others might think?
She is a task executor, but if her reputation is ruined, it might even impact the completion of her task.
Bai Siyang sneered, surprised that this person was so audacious.
However, he had prepared in advance, naturally not allowing this person to act desperately and ruin his wife’s reputation. He made a call.
Hu Angran was a bit haggard at this point, he couldn’t sleep at the place he was staying. After thinking it over, he got up and prepared to return to the company; he couldn’t just sit and wait for doom.
If Bai Siyang really believed Li Shuning had an affair and disregarded her well-being, wouldn’t his company be finished?
Yes, he should tell the Li Family about that younger sister-in-law, maybe he could even get some money from them?
Just as Hu Angran stepped out of his house, he suddenly blacked out, knowing nothing afterward.
When he woke up, he found himself tied up.
He looked around, it seemed like a basement, what was going on?
Was he kidnapped?
"Awake."
Hu Angran was startled, turning his head directly to see two people sitting behind him.
It turned out to be Bai Siyang and Li Shuning, damn it, they’ve been discovered?
"Why did you capture me, Shuning, what is going on?"
The puppet sneered, "Hu Angran, what right do you have to call me that? You claim to be a friend, but in reality, you’ve been scheming against me behind my back. Do you think there are such friends in this world?"
Hu Angran dared not meet Li Shuning’s eyes, his heart growing anxious.
Offending the Bai Family and the Li Family with his status, his company wouldn’t be able to continue, especially since the company was already in such a state.
He knew there was no point in denying it now.
After thinking, he said, "Shuning, I’m sorry, blame my low stature, I was threatened. Shuning, this matter wasn’t my intention, I was forced, someone found me and coerced me to do it."
Li Shuning sneered, a threat, it was just having greedy intentions.
"Hu Angran, don’t make it sound so nice. If you truly saw me as a friend, you would have straightforwardly told me about their plan, wouldn’t I help you? Moreover, that night, what really happened, you’re clear, aren’t you? You know whom you slept with, yet you fabricated such a picture for my husband, do you think I’d believe you?"
Hu Angran didn’t expect Li Shuning to lay it out so bluntly, he gritted his teeth, knowing he was caught.
Perhaps that night was all Li Shuning’s doing, damn it.
Looking at the situation now, he would need to bring out his backup plans too.
"Where’s my phone? There’s a video on it, showing the person who found me, should be someone familiar to you. Without her help, how would I know about your situation?"
Bai Siyang had someone bring the phone. After watching the video, seeing the fully wrapped woman in it, how could he not recognize someone he saw growing up?
Bai Siyang closed his eyes, hiding a hint of sadness in them.
Hu Angran wouldn’t be easily let off; daring to harbor such thoughts about Li Shuning, he wouldn’t tolerate this person.
Besides, this person held control over some material. If he spoke recklessly, it would inflict incalculable damage to both the Li Family and the Bai Family.
"Wife, can you leave this matter to me?"
The puppet smiled, naturally agreeing.
A few days later, Li Shuning saw the news, Chenxi Company went bankrupt, and Hu Angran jumped from the company’s rooftop.
Li Shuning asked Bai Siyang, and Bai Siyang told her he didn’t do anything to Hu Angran; after releasing him, he merely informed him about what he should and shouldn’t say, otherwise it wouldn’t just be his own business any longer.
Bankruptcy was a fact; after all, that project failed, resulting in numerous breach of contract penalties.
Hu Angran was under immense pressure, with such a huge amount of money to compensate. Even if he started over, he couldn’t earn that much; after all, he had family responsibilities, unable to bear the pressure internally, compounded by Bai Siyang constantly having him monitored, preventing him from contacting anyone or speaking carelessly.
Bai Siyang did warn him that if he dared to speak recklessly, he would be prosecuted. After all, fabricating the picture was a fact, and using it for blackmail was also a fact. If the other side wanted to put him behind bars, it would be straightforward, and he wouldn’t know what kind of ordeal he’d suffer.
The main issue was, he always felt Bai Siyang wouldn’t simply let him off.
Over time, he couldn’t bear it anymore, eventually jumping off the building.
After Hu Angran jumped, Bai Siyang prepared to talk to Bai Xiaojun.
Bai Xiaojun naturally knew about Hu Angran’s jumping incident. In fact, she had sensed something was amiss earlier; at that time she thought and directly called Mr. Bai.
Now, hearing about Hu Angran’s news, she grew even more anxious, but fortunately, she had prepared.
When Bai Siyang called Bai Xiaojun, asking her to come home, Bai Xiaojun took both her father and mother, driving to Bai Siyang’s villa.
Bai He looked at Bai Xiaojun, slightly amused, "Girl, what trouble have you caused this time, calling us back so urgently?"
"Dad, listen how you speak, you know I always liked clinging to my brother. When he got married, I was the last to know. Honestly, I was a bit upset, so I might have done some things wrong. Now that brother favors sister-in-law, he might blame me, so I wanted you and mom to come back and help mediate a bit."
Zhang Juan also laughed, "Your sister-in-law has a good nature and is easy to get along with. Did you two have a conflict?"
"Mom, I’m not sure if I did anything wrong, but sister-in-law does harbor some hostility towards me. Last time, she even harmed me, uh, nothing major, she just doesn’t talk to me much."
Bai Xiaojun spoke partially, leading to misunderstandings.
At least Bai He seemed somewhat upset.
Zhang Juan was somewhat skeptical because, after all, she had interacted with Li Shuning, and that girl didn’t seem like that kind of person?
