Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 127 Explain, or, take the consequences at your own risk.

Xie Jincheng's car slowly stopped in front of Yi Hai's headquarters building.

Outside the car door, a group of reporters had been waiting for a long time. They were holding microphones and cameras, their eyes flashing with the desire to capture big news.

Xie Jincheng's assistant and bodyguard quickly stepped forward and made a way for him.

Seeing this, the reporters rushed forward, and one question after another rang in their ears:

"Mr. Xie, there is news that the accident was caused by the miners' long-term illegal operations. How will Yi Hai Company respond to this accident?"

"Are there any casualties reported?"

"What compensation measures will Yihai provide to the families of the miners who died?"

"..."

Xie Jincheng moved forward expressionlessly, while his assistant and bodyguards blocked the reporters who tried to approach.

Walking up the steps in front of the hall, Xie Jincheng turned around and faced the many reporters, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable authority:

"Everyone, Yihai Group takes this unfortunate incident very seriously. We will take all necessary measures to ensure that the affected miners are rescued and their families are given the necessary compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another commotion among the reporters.

"Mr. Xie, I heard that you are going to have your wedding next week. Does your wife know about the miners' death? Will your wedding be postponed?"

Xie Jincheng continued, "Tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we will hold a press conference here to report in detail the accident and our response measures. I will respond to everyone's questions one by one at that time."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the building, followed closely by his assistant and bodyguards.

In the coffee shop opposite Yi Hai, the aroma of coffee floats gently in the air, interweaving with the light background music, adding a bit of comfort to this leisurely afternoon.

An elegant lady dressed in designer fashion was sitting in a window seat.

She gently turned the coffee cup in her hand, and looked through the glass window, watching Xie Jincheng's tall and handsome figure disappear in the hall. Then she pulled up a smile at the corner of her lips, picked up the coffee, and took a sip.

“It’s quite a busy scene.”

The lady whispered to herself, and her voice was heard only by the empty chair next to her.

The door of the cafe slowly opened and a short-haired woman walked in.

She was wearing sunglasses and a smart black suit. After entering the door, she walked straight to the lady's seat and sat opposite her.

The noble lady smiled elegantly at the short-haired woman, "Fourth Madam, long time no see."

The short-haired woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a cool and beautiful face. She smiled back at the woman in front of her: "Mrs. Wei, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wei Yan took out an envelope from her bag and gently pushed it in front of Nan Yin.

"I know you are looking for her. The reason you want to see Xie Jincheng is to take her away from him."

Nan Yin took the envelope, gently stroked the seal of the envelope with her fingertips, and took out a photo inside.

The woman in the photo has a haggard face, sagging skin and dense wrinkles. Her former glory is long gone, and the years have left deep marks on her face.

Her eyes were dull and empty, as if she had lost all her soul and vitality, and she just sat in the wheelchair mechanically, with her hair scattered messily on her shoulders, looking extremely haggard and lonely.

When Nan Yin saw the person in the photo, her expression instantly turned cold.

Those long-forgotten memories flooded into her mind like a tide, making her feel suffocated.

"Back then, the Green Gang was in turmoil, and the previous leader was tragically killed at home. And you were also forced into this storm. You were only 16 years old, as young as a flower, but she gave you to the new leader."

Wei Yan's voice was filled with a hint of regret and sympathy, "I guess you hate her very much, right?"

"But she is your mother."

Nan Yin looked at her coldly, her face expressionless: "What do you want to say?"

Wei Yan chuckled, as if she had already expected Nan Yin's reaction. She continued, "Instead of cooperating with Xie Jincheng, you might as well choose to work with me."

Nan Yin raised an eyebrow: "What's the reason?"

Wei Yan smiled slightly, with a gleam in her eyes: "I can help you leave the Qing Gang and live the life you want."

......

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and heavy.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and the conference table was filled with the company's senior management and shareholder representatives.

Xie Jincheng sat in the main seat, wearing a black shirt with a disheveled collar and rolled-up sleeves. The dark color made him look particularly elegant.

His eyes were serious and cold, like the bottomless seabed, with raging waves lurking beneath the absolute tranquility.

His eyes swept around the conference room, and every participant could feel the weight of his gaze.

"Everyone, time is running out. We need to immediately assess the damage and develop appropriate response measures for this mine collapse."

Xie Jincheng's voice echoed in the conference room, breaking the silence.

A shareholder tapped the table with his pen tip and said urgently: "The first thing to ensure is the safety of the miners. A rescue team must be dispatched immediately to cooperate with the local government to carry out search and rescue work."

Another shareholder took the conversation slowly: "The public relations department should prepare a statement explaining our response and promising to thoroughly investigate the cause to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The person speaking is named Wang Weiguo, Xie Xian's uncle.

Xie Jincheng looked at Wang Weiguo, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Just now I was outside and heard a reporter say that the accident was caused by the miners' long-term illegal operation. Mr. Wang, what do you think about this matter?"

Wang Weiguo raised his eyebrows, speaking with a hint of disdain: "Those reporters are just making groundless accusations. They can't be taken seriously. I just came back from a business trip to the mine last week. The employees there all abide by the rules and regulations and there is no violation of any regulations."

Xie Jincheng's mouth curled up slightly with a sneer. He motioned Zhou Li beside him to hand a document to Wang Weiguo: "Then please ask Mr. Wang to explain what's going on."

Wang Weiguo only flipped through two pages and his expression changed instantly.

The data shows that since three years ago, the mine has been carrying out additional mining in addition to normal mining operations, but the additional mining has not been reflected in the financial statements.

How could Xie Jincheng get these documents?

Wang Weiguo's face was pale, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and the documents slipped from his hands and scattered on the table.

He tried to explain, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

The atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Weiguo.

"I...I don't know..."

Wang Weiguo gritted his teeth and wanted to deny it.

"You do not know?"

Xie Jincheng sneered, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, staring at Wang Weiguo closely: "Adding more samples and concealing the truth are serious violations of the company's rules and regulations, and even violate the law."

"Mr. Wang, as a shareholder and senior executive of the company, you should know the interests involved better than I do."

Wang Weiguo slumped in his chair without saying a word, his face becoming even uglier.

Xie Jincheng's eyes were so cold that they could pierce through people's hearts. He slowly stood up and looked down at Wang Weiguo:

"Explain, or risk the consequences."
