"Take them all away!"

Queen Qi commanded with overwhelming authority.

With a rustling sound, a swarm of subordinates rushed forward and forced all these small-time thugs into the van.

"Take them back for a good interrogation. I suspect it's malicious competition from business rivals." Queen Qi's words sealed the fate of these thugs for what was about to happen next.

The chaotic scene was immediately controlled.

The company's lobby was restored to its normal order.

Before leaving, Queen Qi cast a glance at Lin Hai, her smile upon turning her head was enchanting yet imperiously fierce.

Luckily, Ouyang Xiaoya didn't witness this scene; otherwise, Lin Hai returning home would face more trouble than just kneeling on ants.

"Where have you detained Zhang Pu?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked Lin Hai.

"The detention room, come, I'll take you there."

The accompanying security guards, seeing President Ouyang personally visiting, all became extremely diligent.

Upon opening the door of the detention room, Ouyang Xiaoya was stunned.

At that moment, Zhang Pu looked like a fat pig with its mouth gagged, snorting from its nose, lying straight on the ground with its legs bent backward - the sight was ludicrously humorous.

"How can you treat a company employee like this? It's against the law." Ouyang Xiaoya was rendered speechless by Lin Hai's reckless boldness.

This guy always causes more problems than he solves.

"Take off the stinky socks." Ouyang Xiaoya told Fan Jian, who was beside her.

Fan Jian glanced at Lin Hai; only after Lin Hai nodded did he feel relieved to proceed.

"Wow, I'm surprised that Captain Lin's subordinates follow your orders so well," Ouyang Xiaoya expressed in astonishment.

"Hehe, CEO, please don't make it difficult for the brothers. Everyone used to be ex-military, and I now enforce quasi-military management here; they must obey the superior's commands. As for you, the super-superior… when generals are abroad, military orders may not be followed, you know what I mean," Lin Hai explained with a laugh.

Actually, only Fan Jian would really listen to him; others truly wouldn't dare to go against the CEO.

But Lin Hai took this chance to show off a bit and display his ability at work.

He loved seeing Ouyang Xiaoya's surprised little mouth shape.

Once Zhang Pu's mouth was freed, he looked at Ouyang Xiaoya with eyes full of hope.

"President, president save me! These security guards are being rebellious," Zhang Pu accused first when he spoke.

Lin Hai stood beside Ouyang Xiaoya with his arms crossed, completely silent.

"Director Zhang, I want to ask you something," Ouyang Xiaoya's tone was unfavorable.

A shock ran through Zhang Pu's heart, sensing trouble.

"Why did you betray the company?" asked Ouyang Xiaoya.

A flash of fear crossed Zhang Pu's eyes as he hurriedly defended himself: "CEO, I really didn't betray the company."

"Isn't leaking internal company information to competitors considered betrayal?" Ouyang Xiaoya's voice was as cold as ice, her beautiful face full of chill, her eyes filled with a commanding authority.

"This... this..." Zhang Pu was shocked internally, had the CEO found out about his unspeakable deeds?

"Do I need to have someone fetch the evidence now? Or shall I have the police interrogate you directly?"

The gaze from Ouyang Xiaoya was filled with intense pressure and deterrence, suddenly, the Ice Queen's demeanor reached its peak, leaving the nearby security guards trembling in fear.

Zhang Pujie stammered, his panic evident in his eyes, no longer concealable.

By now, even a fool could tell that Zhang Pujie had definitely done something guilty.

"It seems you won't give up until you're at the Yellow River. I'll have to hand you over to the legal authorities," Ouyang Xiaoya said regretfully.

Zhang Pujie's psychological defenses finally completely collapsed, crying and pleading as he wet himself, "CEO, please, please, I'll confess everything. Considering my years of service to the company, even if I haven't merited rewards, I've certainly endured hardships. Please don't let me go to prison."

Lin Hai revealed a faint smile; Zhang Pujie was too soft-hearted. A slight scare from Ouyang Xiaoya had made him spill everything.

In fact, within the company, aside from Lin Hai who dared to act so recklessly, everyone else held deep respect for Ouyang Xiaoya from the bottom of their hearts—especially when Ouyang Xiaoya was angry, this feeling of awe would exponentially intensify.

"Speak!" Ouyang Xiaoya commanded sharply.

Zhang Pujie, with a mournful and pale face, nodded and confessed everything about leaking inside news, financial conditions, fund flows, and business dealings to rival competitors without holding anything back.

Because Zhang Pujie knew one of Ouyang Xiaoya's traits—if the CEO promised something, as long as he confessed honestly, the worst outcome would be getting fired, not imprisonment.

...

Now, the truth was out.

"Proceed with the termination procedures immediately!"

After hearing Zhang Pujie's confession, Ouyang Xiaoya was so angry that veins bulged on her forehead, grinding the words between her teeth.

Ouyang Xiaoya left.

Zhang Pujie was still not untied.

Lin Hai crouched down, smiled, and asked, "Is Li Taixui your big brother?"

At this moment, Zhang Pujie weakly nodded; now he didn't dare to offend Lin Hai.

"Brother Lin, my big brother really is Li Taixui."

Even now, Zhang Pujie wanted to use Li Taixui's name to intimidate Lin Hai.

"Actually, let me tell you a secret, whenever Li Taixui sees me, he kneels and calls me Brother Lin," Lin Hai quietly whispered in Zhang Pujie's ear, unheard by others.

Zhang Pujie's eyes widened, but deep down he couldn't believe Lin Hai's words.

Li Taixui, who was that? A domineering and badass guy, how could he kneel to a mere security guard?

Lin Hai couldn't be bothered to waste words with someone like Zhang Pujie anymore.

"Fan Jian, go call the police later, hand this guy over for them to deal with," Lin Hai said, refusing to even glance at Zhang Pujie.

"What!" Zhang Pujie gasped.

His actions had already amounted to corporate espionage; if handed over to the police, what awaited him would surely be prison time.

"President Ouyang already agreed to let me go, Lin Hai, you can't treat me this way!" Zhang Pujie, who had earlier been reprimanding a security guard imposingly, now sounded like a desperately flailing doomed dog, letting out a pitiful cry.

"The boss might have agreed, but I didn't!" Lin Hai said without turning back, as he walked out of the detention room.

"Lin Hai, you bastard, you can't treat me like this! I'll make sure you pay for this!"

Zhang Pujie's voice of despair grew fainter.

After dealing with Zhang Pujie's matter, Lin Hai squinted contentedly, leaning back in the armchair of the rest room, while Fan Jian as usual sleazily held an MP4, enjoying the contents and chuckling occasionally.

Ding, a message alert.

Lin Hai opened the message and read the content.

"Brother-in-law, quick, urgent worldly society help needed, the Teacher is coming to visit my home, you need to come home and cover for me!" The message from Ouyang Ruoshuang was filled with a sense of urgency.
