"I was just kicked out by the people in your finance department," the man said.
"I had no choice but to unfurl the banner in front of your company. After all, Du Wei Cai is your President Su's maternal uncle. Given your close relationship, his transfer of funds to you was clearly an attempt to evade risk. If you don't give me the money today, we'll be waiting here indefinitely. We'll leave only when you're ready to return our hard-earned money."
The people behind him also shouted loudly in agreement.
Just as the security captain was about to say something, Mu Feng walked over and gently patted his shoulder. "You can go back. I'll handle things here."
The security captain felt relieved. If people continued to cause trouble here, it would be endless. Furthermore, it would severely damage the reputation of their Su Corporation.
Mu Feng smiled faintly and looked at the crowd. "I know you've been instigated. I'm giving you a chance to leave now. Perhaps you won't be implicated in this matter. If you persist, you'll suffer along with him."
Upon hearing this, the balding man gritted his teeth and put on a sorrowful expression. "Your two companies' cooperation is clearly aimed at swindling us out of our money. Now that things have escalated to this point, what else is there to say? If you can't..."
However, before he could finish, Mu Feng interrupted him coldly. "You know the truth of the situation better than I do. Your troublemaking here won't solve anything. There's only one solution: call the person behind you here. I'll have him resolve this matter in front of you."
The balding man said through gritted teeth, "If we had that much influence, we would have called Mr. Du and the others directly instead of causing a scene here. We're forced into this and want you to return our money."
Mu Feng's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You know exactly what happened with that money. And even if Du Corporation gave the money to us, what right do you have to demand it from us?"
"That's our hard-earned money, and it should be returned to us," the balding man retorted, offering no excuses. Their sole purpose was to ruin the reputation of Su Corporation. Everyone knew that Su Corporation was helping the Du family through their difficulties. Many people were paying attention to the Du Corporation's situation because they were aware of the immense trouble the company was in. The fact that Du Corporation suddenly transferred two billion yuan to Su Corporation's account was bound to raise suspicions. They intended to leverage this gossip to cause significant reputational damage to Mu Feng. This would lead everyone to believe that Su Corporation was in cahoots with the Du family.
Mu Feng sneered, "I gave you a chance, but you failed to seize it. Since you insist on blindly following their orders, you'll face severe consequences. Currently, you are slandering Su Corporation. Even if you don't end up in jail for a few years, your personal records will be permanently tarnished."
The balding man felt a strong sense of foreboding. Looking at Mu Feng, his eyes were filled with apprehension. "What... what do you intend to do?"
Mu Feng's face showed a faint smile. "You'll find out soon enough. Didn't you just say you couldn't bring anyone from the Du family here? In fact, he's been here all along, secretly observing your situation. Why don't I call him over and have him clarify this matter thoroughly in front of all these onlookers?"
The balding man's expression flickered, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "If you can bring him here and have him hand over the money on the spot, then we'll be impressed."
Mu Feng slowly shook his head. "There's no need for admiration. You won't escape accountability. Everyone here, count yourselves lucky if you withdraw now. If you don't, you'll face dire consequences."
Hearing this, the crowd hesitated, but soon made up their minds. They stood firm, swayed by the promised benefits.
"Very well. Since none of you wish to withdraw, I will have someone from the Du family come and speak with you."
The crowd didn't believe Mu Feng's words. After all, the Du family had orchestrated this plan to tarnish Su Corporation's reputation. Why would they show themselves now?
Mu Feng's lips curved into a cold smile, and he waved towards a spot in the distance. Xiao Qi immediately understood and quickly walked towards a corner of the parking lot where an ordinary sedan was parked. Xiao Qi approached and a dagger appeared in his hand. He smashed the hilt of the dagger forcefully against the car's window. The glass shattered.
Du Chao's face was filled with fear, his voice trembling. "Who are you? What do you want?"
"You're asking me what I want? Don't you have any idea what foolishness you've committed?" Xiao Qi sneered and dragged Du Chao out of the car. His gaze was filled with mockery. "Stop wasting time and let's go. I don't need to tell you what to say."
"I advise you to confess honestly, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences. Our young master gave you a chance earlier, and the pain only lasted a few hours. If you don't know how to repay the kindness our young master showed you, then prepare to suffer in agony until death!"
Du Chao's fear intensified. He said tremblingly, "I didn't do anything. This has nothing to do with me. Please, don't..."
However, before he could finish, Xiao Qi slapped him across the face and dragged him to the plaza. A look of astonishment spread across everyone's faces, especially those holding the banner, as they recognized Du Chao. The balding man gave Du Chao a look, his intention clear.
