Chapter 33 - Summoned by the Police

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

‘Why is President Fu Li here?’

Although this building belonged to the Fu Corporation, it was not the headquarters of the Fu Corporation. Wasn’t President Fu always at the headquarters?

‘Did he hear all that? Oh no, my gentle and generous image is ruined…’

Wang Meng’s expression changed immediately and she was at a loss for words. She could only hope that it was merely a coincidence that Jian Yan and Fu Li had gotten into the elevator together.

But Fu Li’s words shattered her fantasy.

“Ms. Wang, Ms. Jian Yan is a business partner of the Fu Corporation just like your family.”

“Those words on the Internet are just rumors. You know very well what happened yesterday.”

“If you talk to Ms. Jian Yan with that tone even while knowing the truth, I will wonder if the Wang family is suitable to continue working with Fu Corporation.”

Wang Meng’s face turned pale. She wanted to defend herself but could not find an excuse.

It was a fact that the Fu family had cut off their cooperation between the Qian, Zhou and Chen families. She could easily find out the reason behind that if she wanted to…

She was terrified that Fu Li would keep his word.

The Wang family worked closely with the Fu family, but it was mainly the Wang family depending on the Fu family. If their collaboration fell apart because of her, her family wouldn’t be in a good state even if they did not go bankrupt.

Thinking of this, Wang Meng immediately said, “I’m sorry, Miss Jian. I said something wrong. The comments online are too extreme. They’re all so intense. Although I know the truth, I think I’ve been brainwashed too.”

Jian Yan was still annoyed and ignored her apology. Naturally, she didn’t know if this was a double entendre, and that the other’s purpose was to make Fu Li fall for her.

Wang Meng felt wronged when the other woman remained mum.

She had already sincerely apologized, so why couldn’t the other forgive her?

She was acting like that just because Fu Li liked her, but this wouldn’t go on for long. The time would come when she would become an old lover like Hua Ying!

The elevator door opened and the three of them walked down.

Wang Meng’s phone rang.

She didn’t look at the caller ID. Instead, she answered the call and put it on speaker mode. She wanted Fu Li to forget what she had done to Jian Yan because of this call.

On the other end of the call, the policeman’s voice was loud.

“Hello, is this Ms. Wang Meng? You’ve received a summon from the Luo City Public Security Bureau. Please head to the Public Security Bureau for an investigation before four in the afternoon.”

This was like a bolt out of the blue for Wang Meng.

Outside the elevator, the employees of the various companies were waiting to board, their expression amused.

Some recognized Wang Meng, while others were employees of the Wang Corporation.

Undoubtedly, they would spread the news of the current situation.

Wang Meng exploded. “Liar! I didn’t do anything illegal. Why would I be summoned by the police? This is a scam! Just you wait! I will get the police to arrest you!”

“Ms. Wang Meng, you can take a look at the number and check it. This number is definitely from the Public Security Bureau. This isn’t a scam call. You don’t need to transfer us any money. You just need to come on time and cooperate with the investigation. I hope you won’t be too late. This case involves contraband items, and you’re the key to this case. If you don’t come, a judicial police officer will detain you and bring you to court. The situation will be escalated then.”

At the mention of the illegal drugs, Jian Yan guessed the reason behind the investigation, and she stopped and turned around to enjoy the show.

If Wang Meng had not been hostile to her, she would have been happy to give her some advice.

There was no need for that now. After all, the police would definitely find out the truth. Wang Meng would simply waste some time at the police station.

But Wang Meng didn’t think so.

When no one got on the elevator, she turned back, only to see Jian Yan looking at her, and Fu Li was looking at Jian Yan. Everyone was laughing at her!

“Alright, then come and detain me. I won’t admit to something I’ve never done!”

Wang Meng roared and hung up the phone. She strode towards the entrance of the building.

She hung up the phone without any hesitation, but she felt slightly anxious.

She had to contact her family and get them to help her out. They had to communicate with the police station, so that she wouldn’t need to appear there. Besides, she needed to clear her name.

After she left, the hall on the first floor instantly became lively.

They quickly started talking about Wang Meng, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, breaking the law and refusing to be summoned, as well as what kind of banned drugs she had used.

Fu Li frowned and glanced at Wang Meng’s back in the distance. He thought of his brother who had been in a sorry state yesterday and Jian Yan who had almost been bullied. He said coldly, “So she’s the one.”

He immediately prioritized canceling the collaboration with the Wang Corporation. He had to execute it immediately.

Fu Li started to contact Li Zhou.

Seeing his actions, Jian Yan curled her lips. “It wasn’t her. It was Jian Wan and my stepmother.”

“So you have already found the culprit, Yanyan. Then why are the police looking for her?”

Hearing Jian Yan taking the initiative to talk to him, Fu Li’s eyes instantly relaxed. At the same time, he continued to send messages and arranged for whatever was originally planned for the Wang Corporation to be given to the Jian Corporation.

He could not care less about how Fu Yuan would take the news..
