I felt like something in my head had suddenly collapsed. Am I responsible? How could I be responsible? This is a child.
I stared at Yang Kai's letter, he looked at me and then quickly lowered his head, as if he was feeling guilty. I know he didn't do it on purpose, but he was responsible for what happened, and he was even more so when I was wrong.
Shortly afterwards, the boss turned around and said to Qu Zhi, "Mr. Qu, I'm very sorry for what has happened. I know that my words of apology are of no use to you, but I still want you to go back and wait for us to understand this matter."
"What else is there to understand? Kill him to repay him with his life, I don't want anything today, I want his life."
I could tell that Qu Zhi really cared about that child, his sadness and anger were not fake. At that moment, I thought about many things and made the worst plans, if I really couldn't hide, then I would have to compensate him, but Yao Ting and Qu Zhi are both rich people, I'm afraid those numbers on my card can't even compare to their pocket money.
I began to panic. I had no idea what to do, let alone what to do. He only heard the boss say to Qu Zhi, "You're right. Killing people to pay with one's life is a given, but it's precisely because this matter is so important that I have to clarify this matter."
Qu Zhi gritted his teeth and his red eyes seemed as though they were going to make a hole in me. But in the end, he shook his hand and left.
As soon as he left, the boss asked me very seriously what was going on.
I said I didn't know anything and wanted to ask Yang Kai letter.
Yang Kaixin no longer tried to quibble. He said, "Yao Ting's child was indeed killed by one of my men, but that was just an accident."
"Then you'll have to take responsibility." I cut in quickly, afraid he would refuse to admit it.
"You are the person in charge of this case. The plan of action was personally decided by you. I am only following your plan. Furthermore, you have never told me that Yao Ting is pregnant."
I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. I felt like he was just trying to argue. I looked at the boss, hoping she'd say something for me.
But who knew that the boss would say, "Chen Yang, just what is your plan of action? Why don't you investigate it clearly and make your move? Who is the person in charge of collecting information in your team? Call him in."
"It's Liu Linwen. I'll go call him now." Yang Kaixin hurriedly said.
As for me, I introduced our plan of action to the boss. Our plan was actually very simple. First, we would find someone to anger Yao Ting and make her lose her composure in public, then we would get someone to film it. During the stir-frying process, he would reveal some other true and false fodder and slowly blow up the matter.
Just as he finished speaking, Yang Kaixin came in with Liu Linwen. Liu Linwen lowered her head and stood at the side, rubbing her fingers together as if she was particularly worried.
The boss asked her why she didn't find out that Yao Ting was pregnant, whether she didn't consider the question or whether she couldn't find out.
Liu Linwen honestly said, "I really didn't consider this point, and I've never seen anyone mention it before."
"Hmph, you haven't found out about such an important matter, how did you do it?" Yang Kai replied in a letter.
But in reality, when we were doing our investigation, if we didn't hear any rumors, we wouldn't consider the pregnancy of our client. Furthermore, our plan is to arrange for someone to have an argument with Yao Ting, not a fight.
The shop owner was aware of this fact and did not reply to Yang Kai's words. Instead, she directly asked Yang Kai what caused Yao Ting's miscarriage.
Yang Kaixin's expression immediately changed. The aggressive look on his face earlier immediately turned into one of hesitation.
"I'm not too sure either. It seems like I accidentally bumped into Yao Ting, that's why …"
"Just a touch and you're going to miscarry?"
"I think I fell. "However, this can only be blamed on Chen Yang and Liu Linwen. It's them …"
Before Yang Kai could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the boss. She said with an unhappy expression, "Alright, stop explaining. Chen Yang and you are responsible for this, so you two will be responsible for this together." Tomorrow, I will have a chat with Qu Zhi to see what he wants to do. "
"But Liu Linwen is also participating!"
Yang Kaixin was trying to pull Liu Linwen inside.
However, I didn't want to implicate Liu Linwen. She wasn't wrong in the first place, it's just that she was unlucky. I told Liu Linwen to do it, it has nothing to do with her. "
"You …" Yang Kai was infuriated. His distorted facial features were even uglier than Qu Zhi's.
"Alright, you guys go out first. We'll talk after I finish talking." The boss spoke up.
When we walked out of the office, Liu Linwen greeted me with a 'thank you'. She was truly frightened, but I glared at Yang Kai's letter. This matter allowed me to get to know this person completely, even though he already knew that Yao Ting had miscarried, he still didn't tell me and wanted to push all the responsibility onto me. He really is a good senior team leader, to think that I respected him in the past.
The next afternoon, the boss came to the company with a tired expression. She didn't change her clothes, she smelled of alcohol, and her dark circles were very heavy. She looked very dispirited.
As soon as she arrived, she called me and Yang Kai letter into the office. I thought she must have stayed up all night to help us negotiate with Qu Zhi.
As expected, once we went in, she said that she had already talked to Qu Zhi. In the beginning, Qu Zhi didn't want anything, he just wanted to get justice, but after being pestered by her, he couldn't agree to spend ten million.
Ten million isn't much to the big bosses and celebrities of the entertainment industry, but to me, it's an astronomical amount. Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to take out that much money.
"The company will help you guys pay up to half. There's still five million, and you two will split it evenly." The boss continued.
I'm a bit touched, but even if it's 2.5 million, I still won't come out.
So I thought about it for a moment and then declined the boss's good intentions and asked her to call Qu Zhi to go through the legal process. I don't believe the police would make me pay that much money.
On the other hand, Yang Kaixin only said a few words, "he will compensate" before leaving.
After he left, the boss advised me, "If you don't have money, you can think of something else, but don't do something stupid without thinking. On the surface, Qu Zhi was only the boss of a listed company, but he was also a son-in-law of the third generation. Although Jiang Xue might not intervene in this matter, Qu Zhi must have gotten to know some influential people after marrying her for so long. If you really go to jail for this, he'll have someone kill you. Have you forgotten that the actress who offended the assistant director was beaten to death by someone? There was also that girl whose face was completely disfigured a while ago. Wasn't it all because she offended someone? "
I was stunned at that moment. That's right, even if I were to go through with the legal procedures, I wouldn't be able to go through with it.
But I still can't put out 2.5 million, and I don't want to pay that much money either. I'm just a normal worker, if I pay back that much money, then my life is over.
"I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
After leaving the office, I was completely muddle-headed. I didn't even hear Liu Linwen greet me. I lied on the table as if my body had been completely drained of energy. I didn't know what to do. 2.5 million is really not a small number. I really can't afford it.
