Chapter 75 - Pengzhan's Analysis
He'd wanted to drag the man to Pengzhan's office in the washroom, but on second thoughts- the people who worked at the top of the company were either shareholders, general managers, or vice presidents. Not a single one of them was a small fry. Putting aside the fact that Pengzhan wouldn't be willing to admit it, Lin Yi was afraid that this man wasn't just one person, but a group of people!
Judging from the people he'd called, he had a lot of accomplices. Pulling him out wouldn't necessarily be the same for his accomplices. Besides, Pengzhan wouldn't be able to deal with someone at the level of a vice CEO with just a few words. There were bound to be a lot of factions forming when a company grew to a certain point, and Pengzhan was the biggest shareholder. He couldn't just touch the people of the other shareholders, and there was a high chance that the person on the phone was one of the shareholders.
That was why Lin Yi decided to disguise himself as someone who came to the wrong floor to avoid alerting the enemy. That way, the man in the bathroom wouldn't suspect anything.
Lin Yi walked to Pengzhan's office and saw that the door was open. Faubert was standing beside Pengzhan, reporting something to him. Pengzhan nodded repeatedly, a satisfied smile on his face. He raised his head when Lin Yi appeared at the door. "Lin Yi, you're here! Come in and have a seat!"
"Uncle Chu." Lin Yi closed the door behind him as he walked in. He wanted to talk to Pengzhan about what he'd heard in the bathroom.
"Lin Yi, I heard that you got into a conflict with some gangsters yesterday?" Pengzhan asked straightforwardly after getting Lin Yi to sit on the sofa in front of his desk.
Lin Yi could tell that Pengzhan's tone wasn't one of condemnation, but one of deep concern. This touched Lin Yi's heart. He was just a personal study companion he'd hired to accompany his daughter in her studies, and yet he cared for him so much. It was rare.
However, Lin Yi also had some doubts. If it were someone else, the first thing they would talk about would be to fire him and not implicate his daughter.
"Yes, someone called Zhong Pingliang sent him to deal with me." Lin Yi didn't try to hide anything as he told Pengzhan the truth. "But I'm guessing that Heibao will take care of everything by himself in the police station, and Pinliang won't get involved."
"Oh? Zhong Pingliang? Do you have a problem with him? " Pengzhan was even more puzzled- Lin Yi had only been in school for a few days, how did he make an enemy like this? From the looks of it, Pinliang had hired a criminal, even with a gun.
"Ah …" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "It's my fault …"
"Mister Chu, let me explain." Faubert saw that Lin Yi didn't mention anything about Mengyao, and naturally knew that he meant well. But as Pengzhan's confidant, he didn't hide anything from Pengzhan.
"Oh? You know about it? "Pengzhan blinked. He didn't expect Faubert to know about the conflict between Lin Yi and Pinliang.
"Mister Chu, it's like this …" Faubert nodded with a bitter smile. "That day when the Miss saw you, Mister Lin, she wasn't too satisfied with Mister Lin acting as her shield, so she wanted to test it out. It just so happened that Pinliang was the Miss's pursuer, and he kept bugging the Miss, so the Miss asked Mister Lin to deal with him …"
"Alright, there's no need to continue. I get it!" Pengzhan shook his head with a bitter smile after listening to Faubert's story- this was all his precious daughter's fault! "Yi, Yao Yao likes to mess around, so don't give in to her. She needs someone to keep her in check, don't mess around with her next time. We almost got into big trouble this time- if it weren't for your skills, who knows what would've happened!"
"Haha, Uncle Chu, I'm fine." Lin Yi was speaking the truth- he really didn't see Heibao Bro as a threat. A small fry like him would only be cannon fodder in the frontlines.
"This Zhong Pinliang … I'll have to talk to Principal Ding Binggong about it. A student like him shouldn't be allowed to stay in school." Pengzhan was quite pissed off at this Zhong Pinliang.
"Mister Chu, this Zhong Pingliang is Director Jin's nephew … …" Li Fu reminded Chu Chuyan as he had a record of all this information.
"Oh?" Pengzhan frowned- he didn't expect this Zhong Pinliang to have such a connection. Pengzhan was the chairman of Pengzhan Industries, the biggest shareholder, but there were many other shareholders in the board of directors. They didn't have as many shares as Pengzhan, but they still had a lot of weight. As a result, Pengzhan couldn't afford to offend the other shareholders over such a small matter.
Pengzhan Industries was one of the shareholders of Songshan's First School, so naturally, Director Jin was one of the shareholders as well. Ding Binggong wouldn't be able to handle things like this. Pengzhan thought about it for a moment. He'd be graduating soon anyway, so he gave up on the idea of changing Zhong Pinliang.
"Uncle Chu, don't worry about it- after this incident, Zhong Pinliang's probably going to behave like a coward in school from now on." Lin Yi didn't care about him at all.
"Yeah, Yi, I'm really sorry about this … I may be in charge of a corporation, but there are many things that I can't do!" Pengzhan sighed.
"Uncle Chu, I was just about to talk to you about this." Lin Yi saw that Pengzhan had changed the topic to company management, so he didn't have to find an excuse anymore. "Uncle Chu, have you figured out what happened with the bank robbery that day?"
"Right now, I only suspect that there's something unusual about it, but I haven't figured it out yet." Pengzhan didn't try to hide it. "We can already confirm that they were after Yao Yao, robbing a bank was just an excuse. They didn't make a move on Yao Yao earlier or later, but they just had to make a move on me when I was out in the city for business. This motive is very suspicious!"
Lin Yi praised inwardly. Pengzhan was indeed the helmsman of a large corporation, being able to come up with such a conclusion with just a few clues. It wasn't bad at all. His suspicions weren't far from the truth.
