"This sleeping face really makes it easy for someone to commit a crime!" Zhang Menglong covered Lu Yiyao's exposed leg with a blanket.
Perhaps because she was too exhausted, Lu Yiyao fell sound asleep singing in Zhang Menglong's room last night. Zhang Menglong didn't do anything disgraceful; the room was spacious enough, so he just slept on the couch all night.
"I really don't want to go back so soon," Zhang Menglong said reluctantly as he glanced at Lu Yiyao. He could have asked Hong Yi to handle Sun Yulei's matter for him, but after all, Sun Yulei had been his roommate for over three years. If he didn't deal with it personally, Zhang Menglong wouldn't feel at ease.
Zhang Menglong tiptoed out of the room, washed up, and the breakfast that had been delivered was now on the dining table. But because he wasn't in a good mood, he didn't eat much. He instructed Cao Yushan to take good care of Lu Yiyao's daily life and then left Gusu directly.
By the time he got back to Jiangnan City, it was already past 10 a.m. With no patience to make a trip home, he headed straight for Sun Yulei's company, Nas Holdings.

"College students these days really lack integrity, even an intern dares to take bribes from other companies!"
"What can you do? After all, it's a hundred thousand yuan. The salary of these ordinary undergraduates might not even add up to that number after two years of work. Even if it were me, I might not be able to refuse."
"I don't know how such a person has the face to return to the company!"
"Exactly, the company has lost a full 20 million yuan because of this, and our year-end bonuses might go down the drain. It's all because of this shameless bastard."
"Right, which school did he come from again? Talk to our HR department and tell them not to hire from that school in the future. Schools shape the kind of students they graduate."
"Makes sense."
...
Hearing the gossip of the colleagues around him, Sun Yulei clenched his teeth to keep himself from erupting.
He couldn't understand for the life of him why he, doing well in the company, suddenly ran into such a predicament.
The hundred thousand yuan was temporarily transferred to his account by a supplier he had approached not long ago. At the time, his project manager told him the company's corporate account was experiencing some issues and that the finance department staff was resolving it. So they asked him to temporarily accept the money—only later did he realize it was a conspiracy by his manager from the start!
Just how much his manager took as a kickback, only he himself knew.
"Who is that?" Everyone's attention was drawn.
A young man in his early twenties with a stern expression on his face walked over, followed by two middle-aged men in suits.
"Who are you?" the police officer asked.
"Good day, officers. I am Sun Yulei's roommate. He's been accused of taking bribes and causing the company losses. Now I've helped him find two lawyers for his defense, which should be within the rules, right?"
"Are you that Zhang... Zhang Menglong?" The young officer recognized Zhang Menglong immediately.
"Zhang Menglong? The one who's so popular online?"
"I know him, his Weibo account has tens of millions of followers now!"
"If it's on his Weibo, he can have as many followers as he wants!"

"He's actually Sun Yulei's roommate?"
"Damn, with a roommate that capable, why would he do something like this?"
"I suddenly feel like there's something fishy here. Zhang Menglong is always so generous to others, wouldn't he take extra care of his own roommate?"
"Exactly, he could afford his roommate a lifetime of wealth just by letting a little slip through his fingers, so why take a risk with something like this?"
"This is getting interesting. I suddenly feel like we're going to see a good show very soon."
"Mr. Zhang, seeking lawyers for your roommate is your right, but the current evidence seems to be very much against him." The officer said cautiously.
"I've heard, Yulei took bribes and sold the company's information?" Zhang Menglong asked deliberately.
"Yes," Sun Yulei's manager Wu Yun stepped forward. "That money is in his account. How do you explain that?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Menglong laughed exaggeratedly. "A bribe of a hundred thousand yuan? Who are we trying to insult here?"
