"Li Zhengye, explain this to me clearly, what exactly is going on?"
Su Anran's beautiful eyes widened, and she shouted at Li Zhengye.
"President Su, I, it's not what you think, actually it's..."
Li Zhengye's forehead was covered in cold sweat, he stammered, unable to even form a complete sentence.
Yang Zhen had already understood what was happening.
It was clear that the company hadn't failed to pay him his compensation.
Instead, Li Zhengye had embezzled the compensation money.
Seeing Li Zhengye's obvious attempt to cover up, Su Anran was already impatient.
"Li Zhengye, you don't need to say anything more to me. From today onwards, you don't need to come to work anymore."
"As for where that money went, the company's legal department will follow up, and you should prepare to be investigated!"
Li Zhengye was completely panicked now.
If the legal department got involved, it wouldn't just be about losing his job, it would likely mean going to jail!
"President Su, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I admit I took the money!"
Li Zhengye finally confessed. He cried with a runny nose and tears streaming down his face, "President Su, please give me another chance, I will definitely reform."
Su Anran snorted coldly, "You don't need to tell me, go and beg the legal department!"
Seeing Su Anran's business-like demeanor, Li Zhengye's heart sank to the bottom.
But then he caught sight of Yang Zhen, and his hope reignited.
With a thud, he knelt before Yang Zhen, clutching his thigh and begging desperately.
"Yang Zhen, no, Senior Brother, you know too, it wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today."
"For the sake of our many years of friendship, please help me plead with President Su, I beg you!"
In just a few minutes, Li Zhengye had transformed from arrogant and overbearing to this pathetic state.
Yang Zhen said indifferently, "We do have many years of friendship, and we've been through a lot together. Perhaps I really shouldn't have handed you over to the legal department."
Li Zhengye's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this.
"That's right, Senior Brother. Think about how good our relationship was back then. As long as you're willing to plead for me this time, I'll definitely turn over a new leaf. You'll be my elder brother for life!"
A trace of mockery flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes, and he said chillingly,
"You've misunderstood. What I meant was, handing you over to the legal department is too lenient for you. What I should do is kick you out of here!"
The sixteenth floor, a hundred meters high, falling from there would likely result in a shattered body.
Li Zhengye's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
"Yang Zhen, you've ruined my future, I'll kill you!"
In despair, Li Zhengye jumped up and lunged at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen didn't even dodge, he kicked Li Zhengye flying with one foot.
He had known long ago that people like Li Zhengye were inherently despicable.
Even at death's door, he would not repent!
The security guards who rushed over dragged Li Zhengye out.
Su Anran apologized, "I'm sorry, benefactor. Due to our work error, we have caused you inconvenience. On behalf of the company, I apologize."
Yang Zhen shook his head, "Don't call me benefactor. My name is Yang Zhen, and it's not your fault. An apology is fine, as long as you give me the compensation."
"Okay, I'll have the finance department transfer it to you right away!"
Afterward, Yang Zhen learned that after he had quietly left, Su Anran had been very worried.
Because he had saved the child's life, and Su Anran hadn't even had time to say thank you.
She had used the company's surveillance to find Yang Zhen, which was why the previous scene had occurred.
Yang Zhen asked, "Is the child alright?"
Su Anran said gratefully, "Thanks to Mr. Yang, Xiao Can is fine now. Perhaps he cried himself tired and is now asleep."
"Well, that's good."
Yang Zhen nodded.
Just then, his phone rang. It was a text message from the bank, stating that the compensation had arrived.
However, upon seeing the transfer amount, Yang Zhen frowned slightly.
"President Su, why did you transfer twenty thousand to me? My compensation was only ten thousand. Did the finance department make a mistake?"
Su Anran said with a smile, "It's not a mistake, Mr. Yang. As a token of my gratitude, the other ten thousand is from my personal funds!"
"Alright, then I won't be polite."
Yang Zhen didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the money directly.
It was only natural to charge for medical treatment, especially since Yang Zhen was in need of money right now.
At this moment, Yang Zhen's phone rang again. It was Su Anran calling.
"Yang Zhen, hurry to the hospital. The patient's family is asking for medical fees again!"
"Patient's family?"
Yang Zhen was a bit confused at first, then he remembered it must be the unlucky fellow he had hit.
After clarifying which hospital it was, Yang Zhen hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry, President Su, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Su Anran overheard Yang Zhen's phone conversation and said, "You're going to the hospital, right? Coincidentally, I need to take Xiao Can for a full check-up, I'll take you there."
Yang Zhen thought it was a good idea and agreed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Yang Zhen parted ways with Su Anran and her son and went to the inpatient department himself.
In the inpatient department, in the corridor.
Lin Xiaoyin was anxiously waiting for Yang Zhen.
Beside her stood a woman with a few similar features to her, her sister Lin Xiaolan.
Lin Xiaoyin had asked her sister to accompany her out of necessity, as she didn't have much money, and Yang Zhen was unreliable.
So, the medical fees would have to be covered by her sister first.
Lin Xiaolan asked, "Sister, didn't we usually settle medical fees at the end of the month? Why is it half a month earlier this time?"
"It might be because of Cao Dapeng..."
Lin Xiaoyin was in a bad mood, and her voice was weak.
"Cao Dapeng treated you quite well, didn't he? What's going on?"
Lin Xiaolan was not aware of what had happened to Lin Xiaoyin before.
Lin Xiaoyin helplessly recounted the entire incident, from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolan's eyebrows shot up in anger, and she gritted her teeth.
"This Yang Zhen, why does he cause trouble as soon as he wakes up? It would have been better if he never woke up and just slept to death!"
Lin Xiaoyin was stunned. She couldn't believe that in that situation, her sister was blaming Yang Zhen.
Cao Dapeng, that beast, was trying to rape her!
But after thinking about it, she didn't say much more.
"Forget it, don't scold Yang Zhen anymore. I've decided to divorce him."
Lin Xiaolan strongly supported this decision.
"It's right to divorce him. You should have been with Cao Dapeng long ago!"
Lin Xiaoyin looked at her sister in disbelief.
"What are you talking about? What does my divorce have to do with Cao Dapeng? Besides, he's already married, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Xiaolan, however, was unfazed. "In this day and age, what does it matter if someone is married or not? What's important is that they can afford to support you."
Lin Xiaoyin was also helpless with her sister.
"Alright, stop talking. Yang Zhen is here."
As soon as Yang Zhen arrived, Lin Xiaolan started speaking sarcastically.
"Oh, you actually know to come over? I thought you were going to push everything onto my sister."
Yang Zhen felt guilty. "I'm sorry. From now on, I will do my best to take responsibility for everything."
Lin Xiaolan sneered.
"Hmph, what's the use of your apologies now? Can your apologies be used as money? A good-for-nothing who can't even afford medical fees, where do you get the nerve to say you'll take responsibility for everything?"
Yang Zhen stared coldly at Lin Xiaolan. If she weren't his wife's sister, he would have slapped her long ago!
