After Cao Mang finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were on Gu Chenan and Fang Yuanyuan.
It could be said that almost everyone was waiting for Fang Yuanyuan to announce Gu Chenan's "death sentence."
"Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?" Fang Yuanyuan asked.
Cao Mang was taken aback, then replied, "Chief, although there's no concrete evidence, based on my deductions, this should be correct."
"Think about it. Gu Chenan had previously organized Lin Yu to assassinate Xiao Jian, and Gong Fei also went to Suhang to assassinate Xiao Jian. Gu Chenan had every reason to kill Xiao Jian."
"Moreover, Gu Chenan also has connections with the Li family in Suhang..."
Before Cao Mang could finish, Fang Yuanyuan raised her hand to stop him: "How can deductions be considered evidence?"
"This..."
Cao Mang was stunned.
He never expected Fang Yuanyuan would have this attitude towards the matter.
"Chief, although these are deductions, they're based on reasonable assumptions. So many things point to Gu Chenan - if not him, then who?" Cao Mang stood up to argue his case.
"Slam!"
Fang Yuanyuan slapped the table and stood up angrily, "I said, deductions are not evidence. I want to see evidence, not hear deductions. If you put the evidence that Gu Chenan killed Gong Fei in front of me, I'll kill Gu Chenan right now. If not, shut up!"
She then looked around at everyone and said, "We Twelve Owls are not only colleagues but also comrades. We must have absolute trust in each other, understand?"
Everyone was shocked by Fang Yuanyuan's words.
Cao Mang's eyes flashed with disbelief. To him, Fang Yuanyuan seemed to have become a different person, so unfamiliar.
Lin Yu was also surprised. He had thought this incident could be used to eliminate Gu Chenan and regain his position among the Twelve Owls, but he never expected Fang Yuanyuan would protect Gu Chenan so fiercely!
Damn it!
What the hell happened? Previously, Fang Yuanyuan had asked him to cooperate with Cao Mang and others to investigate Gu Chenan, but now that the investigation results were out, Fang Yuanyuan refused to acknowledge them?
"Chief!"
Lin Yu stood up abruptly, about to speak out.
But before he could open his mouth, Fang Yuanyuan pointed at him angrily, "Shut up! You have no right to speak here. Get out!"
Lin Yu was stunned, his eyes widening.
What's wrong with the Chief?
Did she eat gunpowder or something?
This investigation was what you asked me to cooperate with Cao Mang on. What do you mean by not letting me speak?
"Chief..." He opened his mouth, trying to speak again.
"These are all members of the Twelve Owls. What's your status that you think you can speak?" Fang Yuanyuan pointed at Lin Yu, relentlessly angry, "If you say one more word, I'll make sure you can never speak again!"
Seeing the situation developing unexpectedly, secretary Wan Ke immediately came out to mediate, "Lin Yu, the Chief is angry right now. You should leave first."
Although Lin Yu was both shocked and furious, the current situation didn't allow him to insist. He could only nod reluctantly and step out.
At this moment, Lin Yu glanced at Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan looked at Lin Yu with a grin and mouthed, "Idiot."
Lin Yu nearly ground his back teeth to powder.
Although he didn't know what had happened between Gu Chenan and Fang Yuanyuan, seeing how Fang Yuanyuan was protecting Gu Chenan and Gu Chenan's smug expression, anyone could tell something was going on between these two!
Damn it!
Lin Yu was furious inside.
What method did this Gu Chenan use to make the Chief stand on his side, disregarding the truth about Gong Fei's death?
...
The conference room door opened, and Lin Yu walked out angrily.
The onlookers immediately approached him.
"Mr. Lin, how is it? Is the Chief going to kill Gu Chenan?"
"Mr. Lin, tell us about the meeting situation!"
"Mr. Lin, why are you out so early?"
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Lin Yu felt his head buzzing.
The Chief killing Gu Chenan? Yeah, right.
I'd be burning incense in gratitude if the Chief doesn't kill me!
The current situation clearly shows that the Chief and Gu Chenan are in cahoots.
Let alone having no evidence of Gu Chenan killing Gong Fei, even if there was evidence, the Chief could get rid of it.
And if she couldn't get rid of the evidence, she might get rid of the person who found the evidence!
Damn it, I can't stay in the Black Owl anymore!
If I stay any longer, the Chief might kill me one day just because I stepped into the conference room with my left foot first!
Damn, it's too terrifying.
What method did this Gu Chenan use? It seems that wherever he is, everyone becomes his pawn!
Lin Yu shook his head without speaking and walked to the bench by the elevator to wait quietly.
In the conference room.
"The matter of Gong Fei has been concluded. It was the Li family from Suhang who did it. We have already wiped out the Li family, so this matter ends here!" Fang Yuanyuan said, looking around at everyone.
"What?!"
"Chief, this..."
"But Chief..."
Cao Mang and others immediately spoke up.
But what they got in return was Fang Yuanyuan's cold stare.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Fang Yuanyuan said, narrowing her eyes.
Everyone fell silent, not daring to say another word.
"Gu Chenan." At this point, Fang Yuanyuan turned to Gu Chenan.
"Chief." Gu Chenan stood up.
"Since Old Cao suspects you, it means you have issues too. You need to clear your name yourself, understand?"
"Understood."
Gu Chenan nodded and looked at Cao Mang. At this moment, Cao Mang had his arms crossed, looking unconvinced.
Even though Fang Yuanyuan had said this, Cao Mang wouldn't let it go so easily.
"Brother Cao, please give me more guidance in the future," Gu Chenan said smugly.
"You!"
Cao Mang was about to get angry, but remembering Fang Yuanyuan beside him, he had to back down, "Hmph, I'll definitely give you some good guidance in the future."
"Alright, meeting adjourned," Fang Yuanyuan waved her hand, then suddenly said, "Gu Chenan, you stay behind."
"Okay," Gu Chenan nodded.
Cao Mang gave Gu Chenan a "we'll see about that" look before leaving the conference room.
The conference room door opened.
Everyone walked out.
Lin Yu immediately stood up and approached them: "Brother Cao, what did the Chief say about this?"
Cao Mang gritted his teeth and punched the corridor railing: "The Chief said it was the Li family from Suhang who killed Gong Fei. Now that the Li family has been wiped out, the matter is settled!"
"How can this be?!" Lin Yu was shocked. "This is clearly Gu Chenan's borrowed knife to kill someone. How can the Chief not see through it?"
Cao Mang shook his head: "Who knows what kind of love potion Gu Chenan gave the Chief. The Chief is determined to protect Gu Chenan now. What can you do about it?"
"I..."
Lin Yu was at a loss for words.
"Come here."
Seeing Lin Yu also looking unconvinced, Cao Mang took him to a secluded spot by the elevator.
He looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, do you want to get rid of Gu Chenan?"
Without thinking, Lin Yu nodded, "Yes, more than anything!"
"Good!" Cao Mang patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "If that's the case, are you willing to do something?"
"Tell me, Brother Cao."
Cao Mang leaned close to Lin Yu and whispered something in his ear.
Immediately, Lin Yu's eyebrows raised.
"Alright, let's do it!"
