The old man finally realized his problem. He nodded woodenly and said, "I... understand."

Zhaodi stepped forward and said, "Let's go, let's go now. I'll drive you there."

Watching the two leave, Sun Xue shook her head. It seemed that the old man had finally come to his senses.

Quancheng Public Security Bureau.

Faced with the evidence, Mr. Li confessed to his crimes.

He admitted that he sent Song Qingyuan to Sun Xue's company as an undercover agent to steal their core technology.

At the same time, he also played a trick. In order to shirk responsibility, he said that Cheng Fugui boasted in front of the leader that he would complete the project ahead of schedule, forcing him to find a solution. In order to complete the task, he had no choice but to take risks...

Soon, Cheng Fugui was also summoned to the Public Security Bureau.

When Cheng Fugui learned the reason for summoning him, his face turned red as a pig's liver and he loudly defended himself, "He just talked nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't force him. I was not involved in this matter from the beginning to the end."

Cheng Fugui was very nervous. He was afraid that he would be involved in this case. After all, he was a well-known figure in the real estate industry in Quancheng City.

Although the final investigation results proved that Cheng Fugui had nothing to do with the case, because he was taken away from the company by public security personnel, the news quickly spread within the company.

In just one day, this matter has become a hot topic in the construction industry in Quancheng City.

Putting all the rumors together, the acknowledged fact is that Licheng Group plagiarized Xuehua Company's confidential technology. Not only will it face huge compensation, but the criminal suspects Mr. Li and Song Qingyuan will also face legal sanctions.

There are many different opinions. Some say that Mr. Li did this under the instructions of Cheng Fugui, while others say that Cheng Fugui wanted to spend money to buy Xuehua Company's technology, but was rejected by Sun Xue, so he came up with such a despicable method.

More people were laughing and making fun of Cheng Fugui. It was really surprising that a leading figure in the construction industry would plagiarize the technology of an unknown small company.

After Mr. Li was arrested and Cheng Fugui was investigated, things continued to ferment.

Early that morning, many media reporters suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Licheng Group, armed with cameras and long guns, all ready to interview Cheng Fugui.

There was a knock on Cheng Fugui's office door, and a young and beautiful female secretary in professional attire walked in, her tone a little nervous:

"Chairman, there are a lot of reporters outside. I asked the security to stop them. They are clamoring to interview you..."

Cheng Fugui replied dejectedly, "What interview? I don't have time for their interview. Tell them I'm not in the company and send them away!"

He knew very well that media reporters were like loudspeakers, and once they reported this matter, his company would soon be in the spotlight.

Besides, when something like this happened, he didn't even have time to hide, so how could he allow reporters to report it?

The secretary quickly went downstairs and communicated patiently with the reporters, and managed to get rid of them.

But some careful reporters discovered that the luxury car that Cheng Fugui usually rode was parked in the company parking lot. So they thought that the secretary had lied and Cheng Fugui must be hiding in the company, so some reporters secretly lurked.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Fugui had just walked out of the company gate when he was stopped by several reporters lurking outside.

Cheng Fugui saw that the situation was not good and wanted to turn back, but it was too late.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm a reporter from the Evening News. I'd like to take a few minutes to interview you. I heard that your company is suspected of stealing Xuehua's core technology. Is this true?"

"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I'm a reporter from the Economic Daily. As a leader in the construction industry in Quancheng City, what do you think about this happening in your company?"

"Hello, President Cheng..."

……

The reporters were like a bird's nest that had been poked, and they started chattering and asking questions to Cheng Fugui.

Cheng Fugui forced a smile, but his tone sounded impatient. "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say. I have something else to do. You guys go back."

The reporters had finally caught Cheng Fugui, so how could he let him go so easily?

"Boss Cheng, I heard this was orchestrated by someone. The suspect has been arrested. He's the vice president of your company in charge of the National Games project. Is that true?"

Seeing the reporters surrounding Cheng Fugui, the two security guards immediately ran over, pushed away the reporters surrounding Cheng Fugui, and shouted:

"Who are you all? Do you have an interview appointment? What are you trying to do by blocking our chairman here? Go away, all of you!"

The security guard wanted to show off in front of Cheng Fugui, so he drove him away in a very tough tone.

The reporters were not to be outdone. "We also want to go to the company and interview Mr. Cheng in his office one-on-one. The problem is that you won't let us in, so we can only interview here."

The security guard held a rubber baton in his hand and threatened:

"Didn't you hear our chairman say something was wrong? Hurry up and leave. Don't keep talking here, or don't blame me for being rude."

Cheng Fugui saw that the two sides had a dispute and immediately stepped forward to prevaricate:

"Dear reporters, I'm really busy today. I'm sorry I can't accept your interview. Please come back another day."

Of course, the reporters would not miss such an opportunity, nor would they believe Cheng Fugui's excuses.

"Mr. Cheng, I won't take up too much of your time. Just a few questions, and we'll be leaving right after we're done."

Cheng Fugui frowned and said, "I said, I'm very busy and there are clients waiting for me."

The security guard on the side immediately got angry, "You guys don't understand what I'm saying, right? Our chairman said he doesn't have time, why are you being so difficult? Go away!"

The security guard swung a rubber baton to drive people away, but accidentally hit a reporter's eye with the baton.

The reporter cried out, covered his eyes, and the camera in his hand fell to the ground with a thud...

"Let's talk it over nicely. How can you hit someone?"

Seeing this, other reporters rushed forward angrily to question the security guard.

"I hit someone, so what? You're being unreasonable, so I'm going to hit you!"

The security guard straightened his chest and fought back without fear.

The security guard was injured by mistake, but seeing the other reporters' relentless attitude, it actually aroused their fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Cheng Fugui quickly signaled to his subordinates to handle the matter, and he took advantage of the chaos to run away.

When the reporters saw Cheng Fugui slip away, they took out all their anger on the security guard.

After the company leaders persuaded and apologized, the conflict was finally settled.

However, these reporters were not pushovers. Not only did they fail to interview Cheng Fugui and were also wronged by the security guard, they immediately reported the incident.

The next morning, in order to avoid reporters, Cheng Fugui deliberately did not come to the company, but soon, the secretary called him.

"Chairman, yesterday's incident was reported in the Quancheng Evening News. Did you see it?"

Cheng Fugui quickly found the newspaper and was stunned when he saw the eye-catching headline:

Shocking! Licheng Group's deputy general manager stole confidential technology from another company. The company's chairman refused to be interviewed, and the company's security guards assaulted the reporter!
