Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Shameless Ma ZhitaoLiu Hongfei gave Li Yanmei a knowing look, and she immediately understood. Pointing at the red bag, Li Yanmei shouted, "I had placed the money in this bag at noon, then went to the restroom, and the bag disappeared. The money must still be in there!" She was the head of the finance department, responsible for the owed amount, and she was the one who had put the money in the bag. Initially, Li Yanmei had felt guilty towards Ye Xuan, but after Ye Xuan had called her ugly just now, she felt no guilt at all. She couldn’t wait to disgrace Ye Xuan! "Someone! Open the bag, let everyone see," Liu Hongfei commanded. Immediately, someone approached, and at Liu Hongfei’s gesture, rapidly opened the red leather bag. Whoosh! The whole crowd was in an uproar, as the red leather bag was indeed filled with money, easily amounting to several million. Those money looked so glaring, making the leather bag bulge! Seeing that the money was really in the leather bag, the crowd’s look towards Ye Xuan turned extremely angry. "I didn’t expect that the money missing from the finance department was indeed stolen by Ye Xuan!" "It’s true what they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover; he looks handsome but turned out to be a thief!" "That money was our collective salary, and he even stole that, he’s truly inhuman!" "I heard he is also the sales manager, our company doesn’t need a thief manager! We must inform the CEO and have Ye Xuan fired." "Yes, tell the CEO, strip him of his position!" The surrounding crowd was furious, accusing Ye Xuan as their gaze filled with disgust. Many people pointed at him and loudly denounced him as trash that doesn’t belong in the Eastern Group! For a while, Ye Xuan became the target of everyone; had he not been tall and formidable, some might have gone forward to strike him. "Ye Xuan, now that the evidence is decisive, do you have anything to say?" Liu Hongfei sneered, pleased with the unfolding scenario. If he framed Ye Xuan for stealing the money, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger; the group of angry employees would punish him. "This can’t be, Brother Ye couldn’t possibly be a thief, you all must be mistaken," Yuan Mengmeng said anxiously. Mengmeng trusted Ye Xuan completely, unable to believe that he could be a thief. Although she didn’t know how the money had ended up in Ye Xuan’s hands, she would never suspect him! Unconditional trust! "Yuan Mengmeng, don’t be deceived by him, this kind of man cheats for money and seduces women, better stay away from him," someone advised nearby. "No, Brother Ye is not a thief, I believe him," Yuan Mengmeng insisted. "What happened here?" Just then, a commanding voice called out. Security manager, Ma Zhitao, along with several guards, swaggered over, making way through the crowd. Seeing Ma Zhitao approaching, Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed. Wasn’t this old fellow supposed to be in a meeting? His timing was extremely coincidental, showing up just as "evidence" was being found against him. He smirked internally, curious to see what kind of scheme the other party would play next. Standing in front of Ye Xuan, Ma Zhitao shot him a glance, seemingly having forgotten that they had just met, then turned his eyes to Li Yanmei and Liu Hongfei, his gaze flickering slightly, "I am Ma Zhitao, the security manager. May I know what has happened here?" "Manager Ma, you’ve arrived just in time, we just caught the thief who stole the company’s money, and he not only stole money but also tried to molest me! We must arrest this perverted thief and teach him a lesson," Li Yanmei said with a look of grievance, accusingly pointing at Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan, is what she says true?" Ma Zhitao turned his head towards Ye Xuan and asked in a stern voice. "Damn!" "You trying to act tough in front of big brother?" Ye Xuan’s mouth curled up in amusement, mockingly saying, "Manager Ma, didn’t you have a meeting to attend? Why didn’t you go?" "The meeting was suddenly canceled." Ma Zhitao cleared his throat and asked, "What’s going on?" Ye Xuan shrugged, smiling, "Manager Ma, you really forget things easily. Wasn’t it you who asked me to fetch the red envelope for you? You even said you’d give me a big one! I was waiting for you to hand it over when this woman jumped out, accusing me of stealing her bag and then started to strip right in front of me attempting to seduce me! Look at how ugly she is and she’s trying to seduce people, almost made me puke..." "What did you say? I tried to seduce you?" Li Yanmei was furious as she glared at Ye Xuan. Not only did this jerk claim she tried to seduce him, but he also dared to call her ugly, pushing her tolerance to the limit! Angry, she yelled at Ye Xuan, "You shameless pervert! It was obviously you eyeing me because I’m beautiful and wanting to take advantage of me, and yet you claim I tried to seduce you? You’re totally distorting the truth! Have you no shame?" "Look here, lady, you’re not looking at how old you are. Big around, not so tall, just all back and no booty! I’m a fresh young man, not saying it wasn’t good enough you weren’t after a young guy, and now you say I assaulted you? You must be delusional! You better go home, take your meds, and see a doctor!" "You... You..." Li Yanmei pointed her finger at Ye Xuan, too angry to speak. Seeing Ye Xuan scold Li Yanmei, Ma Zhitao’s expression became gloomy, saying, "Ye Xuan, you need to be responsible for what you say, when did I direct you to grab the bag? What does this have to do with me?" Li Yanmei was his mistress and lover, and Ma Zhitao naturally wouldn’t show a good face when Ye Xuan insulted his woman right in front of him. Seeing the other party immediately denying everything, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. As expected, this matter wasn’t unrelated to him! Liu Hongfei was just a pawn, and Ma Zhitao didn’t look like the mastermind behind the scenes, at most, he was just a minion wielding the blade. After all, he only had beaten his nephew up, it wasn’t worth it for two people to fall out over such a small matter. Despite being a sales manager himself and having no conflict of interest with Ma, small frictions were normal but not severe contradictions. The only possibility left was that someone was trying to use this issue to make a big fuss behind the scenes! And this person was very likely an enemy of his, possibly even a high-level executive in the company. Ye Xuan already had his answer—the big puppeteer behind the scenes should be Lin Dongfang and his son! Only they would have the clout to urge a department manager to work for them. Last time he punched Lin Dongfang, it seemed Lin had harbored resentment, perhaps intending to teach him a lesson? Or could he not tolerate him at Eastern Group? Or maybe they wanted to get him thrown in jail? Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a cold smirk. Since you wanted to play, let’s play! Once the game started, it wouldn’t end easily! "Manager Ma, you really are shameless! How do you manage to shift the blame so cleanly and still muster such a righteous facade? I’m really curious," Ye Xuan scoffed mockingly. Ma Zhitao raised an eyebrow, coldly laughing, "You keep saying I directed you to take the bag, but do you have any evidence? Without evidence, stop slandering!" "I have no evidence! But be careful with what you say, what goes around comes around! Don’t end up framing me and getting yourself in trouble, losing your manager position," Ye Xuan spoke calmly. "Ha-ha, my uncle’s position in Eastern Group is as solid as a rock, how could he possibly lose the manager position? You should worry about yourself!" Liu Hongfei laughed loudly, thinking Ye Xuan was stubborn in his final moments. "Hey, let’s just wait and see," Ye Xuan shrugged. "The CEO and Vice CEO are here!" Out of nowhere, someone shouted, and everyone turned their attention toward the elevator. Ding— The elevator doors opened. Under the scrutiny of the crowd, a man and a woman stepped out from the elevator and into the first-floor lobby.
