Chapter 379 The Performance
Chen Yang walked out with the security guards and frowned upon seeing the scene.
Ahead of them were more than twenty burly men dressed in mourning clothes.
Two coffins were placed in the center.
The black coffins exuded a chilling aura under the sun. White banners fluttered above the coffins, bearing the words: "A life for a life. Yang Yang Yang Company will pay its blood debt."
Some people were crying with their eyes covered, while others were shouting and holding sticks.
Several reporters followed around the group, their cameras clicking incessantly.
Chen Yang walked over, frowning, and asked, "What are you doing? Do you know what this place is?"
The leader of the group, a pockmarked brute named Pi San, was the one in charge.
Pi San glanced at Chen Yang and stepped forward impatiently, saying, "You, a stinking security guard, dare to block our way?"
"Quickly go and call out your boss. Your Yang Yang Yang Company's products killed my father and my uncle. Don't you want to take responsibility?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang frowned and sized up Pi San. Seeing Pi San's lewd gaze and shifty eyes, he knew this man was clearly here to cause trouble.
Without a second thought, Chen Yang walked directly to the coffin and slapped it. The lid sprang open with a *thud*. Pi San was startled by this and immediately stepped forward to stop Chen Yang.
Pi San grabbed Chen Yang's face and angrily cursed, "Are you looking for death? You dare touch my father's coffin? You've disturbed his soul. Now, get down on your knees and kowtow to apologize to him."
Chen Yang sneered and slapped Pi San across the face. The force of the blow sent Pi San flying.
The next moment, Chen Yang kicked the coffin lid aside and looked inside, his brow furrowed.
An old man was indeed lying in the coffin.
However, the old man was emaciated, clearly having been ill for a long time. He was likely incurable in the hospital, suffering from a terminal illness that had dragged on until his recent death.
But regardless of the old man's cause of death, he had indeed consumed their company's products before he died. These people were clearly trying to extort their company using the old man's death.
Chen Yang rubbed his chin. If this matter was not handled properly, it could indeed lead to significant public opinion risks.
At this moment, Pi San, who had been knocked to the ground, jumped up and lunged at Chen Yang, crying dramatically, "Father, Father, I'm sorry. You died and still had to suffer such humiliation."
Then, with snot and tears streaming down his face, Pi San pointed at Chen Yang and roared angrily, "You scoundrel! My father is dead, and you still disturb his soul? Your company killed him, and now you want to destroy the evidence?
"Let me tell you, that's impossible. With so many media reporters here, this matter is not over today."
Pi San's acting was superb. He raised his fist and shouted, "Yang Yang Yang Company will pay its blood debt!"
The people behind him immediately raised their fists and shouted in unison, "Blood debt must be paid!"
Chen Yang took a step back. The surrounding security guards were also bewildered.
One of his subordinates walked up and quietly asked Chen Yang, "Celestial Venerable, what do we do now? There are indeed dead bodies in those two coffins. How should we handle this situation?"
Chen Yang said, "Let's calm things down for today and investigate slowly later. They will eventually reveal their true intentions."
"Go to the hospitals where these two deceased individuals were treated and gather evidence to ascertain their true cause of death."
"As for today, let's invite them to the company first. If they want money, give them money. In any case, let's suppress the incident for now."
Chen Yang was too lazy to deal with such matters. He said to Pi San, "Sir, how do you wish to resolve this? Perhaps we can discuss it in detail at the company."
Pi San sneered and pointed at Chen Yang, saying, "Let me enter the company? Impossible. Once inside, I might be murdered for my money.
"Let me tell you, today there must be a blood debt paid. Your company's responsible person must be severely punished by law. I've already called the police, and your company will soon face punishment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of police sirens echoed from a distance. Then, a bald Liao Zhixin rushed over with more than ten people.
Liao Zhixin pushed through the crowd and immediately asked loudly, "What's going on? Causing trouble? Causing trouble in my territory, are you looking for death!"
Liao Zhixin glared at Pi San. Pi San immediately fell to his knees with a *plop* and kowtowed to Liao Zhixin, saying, "Officer, officer, it's really not me causing trouble. It's their company. Their company's products have killed my father and my uncle, two lives!"
"Their company doesn't want to take responsibility and wants to settle with money. I absolutely cannot agree. I must make their company pay its blood debt."
"And to warn future generations, do not buy their company's products."
Upon hearing this, Liao Zhixin turned to Chen Yang and said, "Where is your company's responsible person? Have them come out. This matter must be properly resolved today. Now that there's a death, this is not a joking matter."
Just then, Liu Ran, along with Su Ya and other employees, rushed over.
Liu Ran did not intend to evade the situation. She said, "What happened? What's going on?"
Liao Zhixin glanced at Liu Ran, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes. He had seen a photo of Liu Ran before and knew that this was the person he was supposed to apprehend.
Even in the photograph, Liao Zhixin had found the girl to be excessively beautiful. But now, seeing Liu Ran in person, he realized that the beauty in the photo was less than half of her real appearance.
This female CEO was too stunning.
Thinking of this, Liao Zhixin felt a surge of excitement. Perhaps by taking Liu Ran back today, he might have a chance to be intimate with her!
With this thought, Liao Zhixin's lips curved into a sinister smile. He then said sternly to Chen Yang and Liu Ran, "You are the company's responsible person, right? Your company's products have caused problems and resulted in two deaths. You'll have to come with me."
"Until the results are out, you will not be granted bail and must be detained at our facility, awaiting the truth to emerge."
Liu Ran was startled by this and quickly said to Liao Zhixin, "Officer, there must be some misunderstanding. Our products are absolutely fine. How... how could this have resulted in a death?"
Pi San, kneeling on the ground, cried out dramatically, "No problem? If there's no problem, then how did my father and my uncle die?"
"Two lives! And you want to dismiss it with such a light statement?"
"Let me tell you, that's impossible. My father and my uncle died after eating the blind box jelly candies from your company. Many people saw it at the time. Witness and evidence are all here, yet you, the boss, still want to shirk responsibility? Let me tell you, that's impossible."
Liao Zhixin snorted coldly. He looked at Liu Ran and reprimanded loudly, "Did you hear that? Now that lives are at stake, you can't shirk responsibility."
"Guards! Take this responsible person away, along with the captain of the security guards, their product manager, and the quality inspection department. Arrest them all."
