Li Zhidong had never thought that being in the same room or sitting at the same table with Huo Yichen was so stressful.

The scent of tea that he was used to in the past became a silent torture, troubling his nerves little by little.

"Mr. Huo," Li Zhidong closed his eyes and spoke proactively as if he was going to die.

"You invited me here...shouldn't it be for that advice?"

The words were mixed with a slight temptation, and together with the panic deep in Li Zhidong's eyes, they appeared in front of Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, and the crisp sound the cup made when it was placed on the table became a source of tension for Li Zhidong.

He seemed to be frightened, thinking that he was being ambushed from all sides just by the slightest sign of trouble.

Huo Yichen placed a folder directly in front of Li Zhidong, as if silently urging him to open it.

Li Zhidong had to reach out to take it and untie the rope at the seal, but his heartbeat seemed to jump to his throat, making his hands tremble.

The folder was not thick, and what Li Zhidong finally took out were only two contracts and a dozen photos.

The photo showed Li Zhidong meeting and having dinner with various people. The people eating there ranged from Xu Dong to Huo's competitors, and the places ranged from dining tables and hotels to various clubs.

It’s all there, countless.

"These two contracts are the other ones you signed with the other party behind Huo's back. You also used them to benefit your company and sell Huo's company secrets."

Every word Huo Yichen said was like a nail piercing into Li Zhidong's heart.

Listening to Huo Yichen telling all the dirty things he had done, cold sweat swept across Li Zhidong's body almost instantly, and his heart palpitated to the point where his hands and feet were cold.

"I..." Li Zhidong opened his mouth.

Huo Yichen continued, "To be honest, I found out exactly how many things you and Xu Dong met and planned here, and how much you did and how much profit you made."

The reason why I arranged to meet Li Zhidong here was that he imitated Xu Dong's method of calling people out without being prepared, and Huo Yichen deliberately put psychological pressure on Li Zhidong.

Not to mention anything else, just the two contracts in the folder could have killed Li Zhidong until he could not stand up.

Signing two contracts touched on a gray area, and he used the company to seek personal interests, etc. Huo Yichen could just hire a good lawyer to make Li Zhidong completely disappear from Huo's.

but not now.

Seeing that Li Zhidong remained silent after what he said, Huo Yichen simply took another dose of strong medicine.

He changed another photo and brought it to Li Zhidong. The photo showed a small sea of ​​flowers formed by beautiful daisies, and in the center of the sea was an innocent, beautiful and cute little girl with a smile.

If you look closely, the face of the little girl and Li Zhidong are 70-80% similar, except that the pupils are black and white, clean and clear.

That's his daughter.

This is also Li Zhidong’s weakness.

Huo Yichen spoke slowly, "If my daughter knew that her father was such a person, she would have to go to jail for who knows how many years..."

"You, what do you want?" Li Zhidong's voice trembled, and he sat on the chair almost decadently.

"Simple." Huo Yichen crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees, showing his leisurely attitude. "Tell me about Xu Dong."

Li Zhidong is just a little guy. Huo Yichen knows that Xu Dong was the one who tripped him up last time.

It's just that the other party acted rigorously, and all Huo Yichen could catch was evidence of small fights, which was not enough to completely remove Xu Dong.

But if you can get something from Li Zhidong, then maybe.

"I said, can...can I write it off in one go?" Li Zhidong looked at him.

Huo Yichen's eyebrows were raised high, as if he was thinking, and then he showed a wicked smile, but the light in his eyes became colder.

"The decision is mine."

Prey never has the right to decide his own fate.

This conversation in Evergreen Pavilion lasted for nearly an hour.

Ye Zhen stayed in the black car at the entrance of Changqing Pavilion, staring at the time on the watch on his hand. After seeing Li Zhidong pass for a while, he followed the CEO's instructions and encrypted the photo he had just taken of Li Zhidong entering. After processing, it was sent to Xu Dong's mobile phone.

Xu Dong was very familiar with both the place Changqing Pavilion and the person Li Zhidong.

After sending the photo, Mayor Ye took a breath and looked outside. It was already afternoon and almost dusk.

Xu Dong was still at home when he received the photo.

Originally, he would never look at unfamiliar messages, but the message popped up and the photo appeared directly in front of his eyes.

Therefore, Xu Dong was attracted by the vibration of the mobile phone. After seeing clearly the people and places on it, he knocked over the tea cup next to him with a twitching brow and trembling hands.

The tea tipped over on the table, directly soaking the documents in front of Xu Dong, making the original black and white handwriting blurry.

But Xu Dong had no time to take care of this at the moment.

He suppressed his uneasiness and called back the number that sent the text message, but the system indicated that the number was empty.

Xu Dong's eyebrows were raised high, and he changed to Li Zhidong's number seriously.

This time it's not an empty number.

But the other party seemed to want to make him suffer, so he kept the beeping sound until the call finally failed to connect, until the system hung up on its own.

After failing to get through the first time, Xu Dong tried again.

He felt anxious and irritable because of this passivity, but he had to take action.

Who is Li Zhidong going to have dinner with? Why Changqing Pavilion?

Every action Li Zhidong took before was under his direction, but this time there was no warning.

There were endless questions popping up in Xu Dong's mind, but none of them had answers.

Panic spread like a source of infection, starting from the lump of flesh in his heart, making him unable to stop being suspicious and suspicious. Finally, when the call he dialed was hung up again, Xu Dong finally couldn't help but throw the phone to the ground.

"Damn it!" he yelled.

Seeing that Xu Dong kept calling, the other party simply turned off the phone.

Only that photo is still lying in the message record, as if it reminds Xu Dong all the time that some things are no longer under his control.

It wasn't until the next board meeting that the answer he wanted finally came.

In the familiar conference room, decorated in plain white and simple style, Xu Dong slowly sat down.

The chairs dedicated to each member of the board of directors gradually filled up as the time approached, but only Li Zhidong's chair never received its owner.

Not only Xu Dong, but others also noticed this.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, whispered softly, and looked at the empty chair from time to time.

Xu Dong was also stared at later, and was looked at with suspicion by those eyes, as if he was placed on a burning chopping board, turning left and right without being able to free himself, and the smile on his face was only holding on to the last trace.

Finally, in such a strange atmosphere, Ye Zhen opened the door of the conference room, and Huo Yichen walked in.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Huo Yichen greeted.

I don't know if he is overly sensitive, but Xu Dong always felt that Huo Yichen's eyes passed over him with expectation and scrutiny, like a falcon with its sharp claws staring at its prey.

Huo Yichen walked to his seat in the middle and naturally saw Li Zhidong's empty seat, but he was not surprised at all. Then he announced that Li Zhidong was sick and resting.
