Chapter 1180: Chapter 1179: Some Things Cannot Be Replaced

At the office, everyone actually knows who does what, and what they’ve done. There’s no need for an investigation.

A call from Yang Chen would mean a thorough investigation for Huang Qing.

In fact, there was no need for an investigation at all. Just one call, and countless people would report Huang Qing, with all kinds of evidence laid out on the table.

The call Huang Qing received from his director was to notify him to return and accept the investigation, or have someone else drag him back for questioning.

This scared the wits out of Huang Qing.

"Director, are you... are you joking?" Huang Qing was still hopeful.

"Joking?" The director sneered, "I may not know what you’ve been doing, but this is a direct order from above. All the things you’ve done, all the evidence, are right here on my desk, and colleagues from the investigation department are currently here. Considering we’ve been colleagues, we won’t go to your house to spare you the bad influence, but you’d better come here yourself, otherwise, we’ll come to find you!"

"I..." Huang Qing opened his mouth, at a loss.

"That’s it. We’re only waiting for you here for half an hour. If you don’t come in half an hour, we’ll go to your house." The director hung up without leaving any room for negotiation.

Holding the phone in his hand, Huang Qing was in a daze, despair written all over his face.

"Honey..." Chen Lanzhi noticed something was wrong with Huang Qing and couldn’t help but call out.

Huang Qing looked at Chen Lanzhi, then at Wang Shen, who was apologizing to Yang Chen kneeling down, and seemed to understand something.

"Honey, say something..."

"Shut up!" Huang Qing shouted angrily, slapping Chen Lanzhi across the face, and yelled, "It’s all because of you! You’re a useless woman who only ruins things! Hurry up and apologize! Do you even know what you’ve done?"

Chen Lanzhi was dumbfounded.

"Honey, you..."

"What do you mean? Hurry up and apologize!" Huang Qing shouted angrily.

"I..." Chen Lanzhi was completely stunned.

Yang Chen glanced at the three of them, then stood up and said to the principal, "You handle it yourself."

With that, Yang Chen walked out of the office.

Behind him, Wang Shen shouted, "Mr. Yang! Spare us, please!"

Huang Qing also cried out, "We know our mistakes, please spare us!"

But Yang Chen did not pay any attention.

Watching Yang Chen’s figure disappear down the hallway, both of them collapsed to the floor.

Chen Lanzhi still didn’t understand what happened and asked helplessly, "Why are you treating them like this? What are you afraid they’ll do?"

Both of them turned angrily towards Chen Lanzhi and shouted, "Shut up!"

With red eyes, Huang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "You have no idea what kind of power they hold!"

Wang Shen, annoyed, said, "It’s all because of you! Chen Lanzhi, if it weren’t for you saying you could handle Wu Qiaoyun, how could I have been blinded by lust and made a move on Wu Qiaoyun! Do you know what Yang Chen did to me? He wrecked the entire building of our Science and Technology Association! You haven’t even seen it, no one dares to catch him, even Zhou Tang, the person in charge of Ancheng, personally called me to revoke our association’s membership and thoroughly investigate the expenses! All because of you! If I really get thoroughly investigated and end up in jail, you won’t get away with it either!"

Chen Lanzhi was stunned.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qing finally understood who the "above" mentioned by their director was.

Turns out, Zhou Tang personally gave the order.

He realized he was truly done for!

All this, because he married such a disastrous woman!

...

The three of them returned to the car.

Yang Chen looked at Wu Qiaoyun, who was still shaken, and said, "Chen Lanzhi will no longer be at Ancheng University. In the future, even if she continues in the education field, it will be difficult. Her husband and Wang Shen are the same; they absolutely can’t stay in their positions. Are you satisfied with such an outcome? If not, I’ll continue to have people deal with them."

"No, no!" Wu Qiaoyun quickly waved her hands. "No need! No need! This is already enough!"

She never thought things would escalate to this point. She believed Yang Chen was just recovering some dignity for her but didn’t expect several people would pay such a heavy price.

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "I think you’ll soon be promoted, and when it comes to rating, it will be up to you. If... you don’t want to continue at the school, you might consider going to Longyu Group. I can arrange a position for you according to your abilities, and the salary will definitely be the best."

Wu Qiaoyun couldn’t help but hesitate.

Working at school has very good conditions, especially with an imminent promotion, potentially getting rated as an associate professor.

But going to Longyu Group, the future is uncertain.

In terms of benefits, associate professors enjoy excellent treatment, possibly even assigned housing, but Longyu Group is uncertain.

So Wu Qiaoyun hesitated.

"Consider it, and contact me whenever you’re ready." Yang Chen reminded Wu Qiaoyun not to rush.

Wu Qiaoyun nodded slightly.

Sending Wu Qiaoyun back to the residential area.

Before getting out of the car, Yang Chen asked, "Has Yuxin returned?"

Wu Qiaoyun shook her head, "I think she plans to study for another year... However, I think if you have the time, it might be good to contact her. She... misses you a lot."

Yang Chen nodded slightly, watched Wu Qiaoyun go upstairs.

At the entrance of the residential area, Meng Po had already arrived by car and was waiting.

Yang Chen had Wu Yihan drive the car to the entrance and park.

Yang Chen said to Wu Yihan, "Go back and tell your father to be prepared for tomorrow’s New City trial. He’ll need to be there. At that time, what we’re going to face won’t just be the Wu family."

"Understood!" Wu Yihan nodded, "My father is already prepared, and ready to take your orders!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, opened the door, and got off.

After getting out of Wu Yihan’s car, Yang Chen got into Meng Po’s car.

Meng Po directly drove back.

On the road, Meng Po kept glancing at Yang Chen through the rear-view mirror.

Yang Chen sighed softly and said, "If you have something to say, just speak."

Meng Po took a deep breath, and her gaze became sharp, staring at Yang Chen coldly through the rear-view mirror, "Are all the women you know like this?"

Hearing Meng Po’s accusation, Yang Chen couldn’t help but bitterly smile and explained, "When I was searching for Ye Xin, Ancheng was the last city I reached. When I was in despair, it was they who helped me, which is equivalent to saving me. They are my benefactors, and I can’t just sit back and do nothing when they’re in trouble."

With the explanation, Meng Po’s heart softened a bit, thinking that the Asura King she admired and loved had become warm like sunshine to every woman around after returning to Flame Country.

Fortunately, it wasn’t so.

Meng Po said, "Wouldn’t it be better to leave such matters to me? If I send people, it’ll be more efficient and handled better. These things don’t require you to do it personally, it’s just wasting your time. Don’t you know how many things you have going on?"

Yang Chen shook his head slightly, looking out the window.

Some things, others cannot replace.
