Chapter 56: Letting Matters Rest and Calming People Down

  "Sister Sun! What's going on? What does this mean? Is he rebelling or something? I'm getting more and more confused!" Qin Liang stared at Yang Bin in shock as he slammed his hand on the table and left, then trembled with fear as he asked Sun Piaoyun.

  "Go and close the door!" Sun Piaoyun's face was as ugly as it could be at this moment.

  Qin Liang had no choice but to walk over and close the office door, then walked back to Sun Piaoyun's side and sat down. After sitting down, he was surprised to find that Sun Piaoyun was actually crying, and her whole person suddenly became dispirited, completely different from her usual self.

  "Sister Sun, what's going on here? Why?" Qin Liang's heart became increasingly strange.

  "You see for yourself." Sun Piaoyun didn't want to say anything more, she handed her phone over to Qin Liang, the screen showed a paused video.

  As the video played, Qin Liang's face also turned somewhat unsightly. Soon he was enlightened by Sun Piaoyun's performance just now, but more of it was a kind of unwillingness or resentment.

  He was still reeling from his extreme anger towards Yang Bin.

  "What...what's going on?" Qin Liang subconsciously asked Sun Piaoyun.

  "You ask me? I'd like to ask you what's going on! You don't even know that your office has been installed with cameras?" Sun Piaoyun countered, questioning Qin Liang back.

  "How is this possible?" Qin Liang looked around his extremely simple office, which was almost just four white walls. He then looked back at the phone screen, searching for an angle, and stood up to study the wall for a long time, even tapping on it with his hand.

  After that, Qin Liang searched all the places he could think of, including the sofa, table and chairs, drawers, but everything was in plain sight, and it was impossible to hide anything like a camera or a listening device!

  "It's impossible! Stop messing around and think of what to do now!" Sun Piaoyun whispered to Qin Liang. She was thinking that after Yang Bin secretly took a photo of this scene, he would definitely find an opportunity to take away the hidden camera.

  "What can be done about it? At worst, we'll die together! I'll go to jail and he'll have to go to jail too!" Qin Liang was clearly not calm at the moment.

  "Shut up!" Sun Piaoyun is now most worried about this, you bastard, you and him will perish together, don't drag me down! I really regret not sitting there listening at the beginning of the meeting, it's true that I attracted hatred to myself.

  When superiors also have their own disadvantages, attracting hate value is one of them... Online games are like this, and the real world is also like this. The bigger the boss, the easier it is to attract more hate value.

  "What do you think we should do, Sister Sun? He's got this video and can blackmail us for the rest of our lives. Do you want to be held hostage by him forever?" Qin Liang finally calmed down a bit.

  "The most urgent thing now is not to push him to desperation! Do you understand? First, calm him down, and then think of a way to get the video out slowly, or come up with an even more thorough plan! But if you don't calm down and continue to escalate the conflict, we'll both be finished! Do you know what kind of crime embezzling so much public money is? Once you're in, your life is over, and forget about surviving in the system!" Sun Piaoyun's tone became more intense, but she still made an effort to lower her voice, lest it carry outside the office.

  "Steady him, get this video out, is it that easy?" Qin Liang grasped his head in frustration and replied to Sun Piaoyun.

  After being pressed into the toilet by Yang Bin and miraculously surviving, he had been trying his best to think of ways to bring Yang Bin to justice. He didn't expect that something like this would happen now, leaving him feeling like he couldn't use all his strength.

  Rather than suffer the same humiliation and injury he just did, he'd rather die with Yang Bin, or go to jail together!

  "What did you mean?" Sun Piaoyun asked Qin Liang coldly.

  "Worst comes to worst, we'll burn the jade and stone together! Tell him that if he dares to release the video, I'll report it to the police and have them arrest him! Assaulting a public official, intentional injury, premeditated murder - don't even get me started on how many years he'll be sentenced to!" Qin Liang replied confidently to Sun Piaoyun.

  "You're a pig brain!?" Sun Piaoyun's face was full of resentment: "After that video came out, you and I became corrupt officials. He beat up a national public servant? He beat up a corrupt official! Don't you know what ordinary people hate the most right now? They hate corrupt officials! After seeing the video, those ignorant netizens followed along and shouted about there being a dark plot or something. Would the police dare to arrest him? Wake up!"

  "Alright, even if I embezzled money, his physical harm and premeditated murder against me are true, right? There are so many people outside who can testify, Sister Sun, you can also be a witness for me! How could he not be arrested?" Qin Liang obviously couldn't swallow this tone no matter what, and wouldn't listen to Sun Piaoyun's persuasion.

  "Are you looking for a witness? If you really call the police, I guarantee that no one will be a witness for you! First of all, I won't be a witness for you, and instead, I'll turn around and be a witness for Yang Bin to prove that he didn't beat you up in the office. Do you believe it or not?!" Sun Piaoyun couldn't persuade Qin Liang, and this time she was really angry.

  "What's going on?! What's going on?!" Qin Liang also burst into anger.

  "I don't want to perish with you! Don't force me! If you force me, it will only push me to the same line as Yang Bin!" Sun Piaoyun said with her hand on her slightly hot forehead, responding to Qin Liang in a low but firm tone.

  The office suddenly became extremely quiet, Qin Liang stared at Sun Piaoyun for half a day without making a sound.

  Qin Liang finally felt that Yang Bin's move was too sinister, too black and too poisonous! Yang Bin came out of the toilet, punched him, dragged him to the toilet bowl almost drowning him, and made him drink feces water before sending this video to Sun Piaoyun!

  Yang Bin is so fearless, he's actually counting on Sun Piaoyun to let things slide and smooth things over, and even if Qin Liang beats him up, it would be pointless!

  He had always thought that Yang Bin was easy to bully, stupid and brainless. He found out he was completely wrong, he had underestimated him too much. When Yang Bin's crazy revenge came, Qin Liang was now completely at his mercy, unable to fight back!

  That shit water was drunk in vain, that humiliation was suffered in vain, nothing can be exchanged back.

  "What do you mean, Sister Sun?" Qin Liang finally spoke up again, but this time his tone was no longer arrogant, instead it was filled with despair and hopelessness.

  "Listen to me, don't be impatient, or the whole plan will be ruined. Just stabilize him for now, and later you'll have a chance to slowly get the video out of him. If all else fails, you can still go find someone to implement some unconventional methods..." Sun Piaoyun reminded Qin Liang in a low voice.

  "Unconventional means? Sun Jie, are you asking me..." Qin Liang seemed to have understood.

  "I didn't say anything..." Sun Piaoyun shook her head: "In any case, we must endure now. A gentleman takes revenge ten years later, and it's not too late. King Goujian of Yue endured humiliation and hardship for ten years before finally swallowing the Wu state with 100,000 Yue troops. If you can't even bear this small matter, then don't mix in official circles in the future."

  "That horse bucket... you don't know how dirty it is... sigh..." Qin Liang thought of that incident, and this breath was really hard to swallow.

  "Now is the time to swallow even if it breaks your teeth! Stop being stubborn, listen to me, go out and apologize to him in public, first endure this period, wait until he relaxes his vigilance and then think of other ways to deal with him! Whether it's finding someone to take care of him or thinking of a way to grab his handle for exchange, you must get through this period! I'm begging you as your sister! As long as we get through these days, if I'm still in position, I'll definitely think of a way to compensate you!" Sun Piaoyun coaxed and persuaded Qin Liang with a mix of flattery and subtle hints.

  "My teeth have already fallen out... this humiliation... I really can't bear it!" Qin Liang pointed to his own toothless mouth and said to Sun Piaoyun.

  "If you really can't bear it, then don't come to work here for the time being. Tell your father and let him think of a way to transfer you to the education system. If you don't appear in front of him, he won't be able to humiliate you, and we can plan our next move." Sun Piaoyun gave Qin Liang an idea.

  "Me... me..." Qin Liang heard Sun Piaoyun say this, and he had a strong urge to bang his head against the wall. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? He was already suffocating with rage! He felt like he was going crazy.

  He and Yang Bin's struggle in the China Merchants Group project team ended with his defeat... Not defeat, but a crushing defeat!

  It was from his beginning of having evil intentions towards Zhou Xiao Yi that it was destined for him to suffer a crushing defeat today, and even destined for him to have a tragic fate in the future.

  He finally realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have, someone he couldn't afford to offend.

  But now, it's all too late.
