Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

The call connected.

Duan Bingtian said directly, "I want to speak with Xu Yang."

"All right." Duan Shaohui activated the speakerphone, "You can talk now, Grandpa."

Duan Bingtian asked, "Xu Yang, did you really do this?"

Xu Yang admitted, "Yes, it was me."

Duan Bingtian inquired, "I'm very curious, how do you have so much power?"

Xu Yang responded indifferently, "No comment."

Duan Bingtian said, "Fine, since you won't say, I won't pry. But we're from the same hometown, why are you doing this to me? What exactly do you want?"

Duan Bingtian believed him. Although he didn't know how Xu Yang managed it, only Duan Shaohui had offended Xu Yang, who had already admitted to it. There was no possibility of any other big figure striking at him for no reason; it had to be Xu Yang.

Xu Yang said expressionlessly, "Didn't your grandson already tell you? I want you to atone for everything you've done in the past to Cang County. I gave your grandson a chance to inform you. Donate two billion, and all would be forgiven. It was your grandson who didn't want to take the opportunity and missed it."

Duan Bingtian said angrily, "What business of it is yours what I did? You're just a businessman like me, not someone from the authorities!"

Xu Yang said, "I may be a businessman, but I'm determined to make you atone. Do you know, ever since I was in primary school, I've heard of your misdeeds. Our teachers in middle school would often mention you, which shows how much damage you have caused to Cang County over the years. You are a sinner of Cang County.

I couldn't have done anything if I lacked the power, but now that I have it, I feel I should do something. Otherwise, I would feel guilty to myself, and to the folks from Cang County."

Clenching his teeth, Duan Bingtian said, "Fine, fine, fine. I refuse to believe that a greenhorn like you can turn the heavens upside down. I managed to embezzle a county government's finances, I won't be unable to deal with you. Wait and see, once I've settled my company's affairs, you will learn what I'm capable of!"

With that, Duan Bingtian hung up the phone.

Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand to indicate Zhou Li should leave, he then took out a notebook from his drawer.

Flipping it open, it listed several contacts within his network.

These connections were only for him to reach out personally.

Even Zhou Li and Duan Shaohui had no knowledge of these contacts.

He dialed a phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

Duan Bingtian's face lit up with joy.

If this network could still be reached, the problem wasn't too severe.

He was about to speak when a beep sound came through.

The call was cut off from the other side.

Duan Bingtian was somewhat stunned.

How could this happen, being hung up as soon as the call connected?

He was persistent, perhaps the other party accidentally hit the disconnect button while picking up.

So, he dialed again.

This time, the number was switched off directly.

Duan Bingtian's heart sank suddenly, sensing trouble.

He quickly dialed another number from the contacts in the notebook.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This network was just like the previous one, answering without speaking and then hanging up, followed by a switched-off phone when calling again.

One by one, Duan Bingtian dialed the numbers of his networks, with each resulting in the same situation.

Cold sweat formed on Duan Bingtian's forehead.

"Last one now, Boss Dong, we have the best relationship, don't be like the others."

Muttering, Duan Bingtian dialed the last number in his network.

After a single ring, the call was picked up, a deep voice came through, "Mr. Duan."

Hearing this voice was like hearing a heavenly melody to Duan Bingtian, he couldn't help but say excitedly, "Boss Dong, you really are reliable. Everyone else has turned off their phones, not even answering my calls."

After a short silence Boss Dong said, "Mr. Duan, things have changed. Lots of young people have risen to power now, they only abide by the law, not personal connections. I can't help you with this matter. If I dared to help, I'd certainly draw attention, and I'm only two years away from retirement. I don't want any trouble before then."

"What!" Duan Bingtian was shocked.

This Boss Dong was a true heavyweight within the province.

Those with more power than him numbered only two or three.

Even though he was older and planning to retire, his long-standing authority still made him highly prestigious.

Many young people, who only abided by the law and disregarded personal connections, were still unwilling to clash with Boss Dong.

Now, however, it was Boss Dong who had uttered such words.

This was not to say that Boss Dong's words carried no weight, but it was a collective decision by the provincial government that insisted on handling this matter.

Your help in speaking out would be useless, even if you tried.

Whoever stood out would become the target of being dealt with.

In the face of such a prevailing situation, no one dared to stand out.

This was also why those few from his network had hung up the phone or turned off their devices, choosing to ignore Duan Bingtian.

Duan Bingtian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Boss Dong, I'm not asking for your help, I just want to know what exactly is going on?"

After a moment of silence, Boss Dong responded, "I'm not sure."

"Not sure?" Duan Bingtian was stunned.

Is there anything that you, Boss Dong, are not sure of?

If you're not going to help, that's fine. I'm just asking for information, just what the situation is.

Isn't 'I'm not sure' a bit too dismissive?

Can't you say a bit more?

Boss Dong seemingly felt that such a response was not quite satisfactory and added, "The provincial government's decision is reasonable and lawful. In my view, you have been made an example of. I suspect someone is setting you up, but why they have struck at this time, you should think about whether you have offended any important figures."

After speaking, Boss Dong hung up the phone.

Duan Bingtian put down his phone in despair.

What powerful figures could he have offended? He hadn't offended any powerful figures.

He was too busy trying to please powerful figures to offend them.

It was merely his grandson who had offended Xu Yang.

Could it be that Xu Yang had been intending to target him all along?

While he pondered, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhou Li rushed in, panicked.

"General Manager Duan, something terrible has happened. The Business Management Bureau's people have come to the company, they've gone to the computer room in the basement!"

Tianxiong Foodstuff's building had an inconspicuous computer room in its basement.

In that computer room, there was only one computer that was not connected to the internet.

On this computer were recorded all of Duan Bingtian's processed accounts for substandard pork, chicken, and beef over the years.

These accounts were damning evidence.

If the Business Management Bureau's people discovered them, Duan Bingtian would be ruined.

On hearing Zhou Li's words, Duan Bingtian's heart lurched; he stood up and shouted urgently, "Go destroy the data on that computer right now. We can't let the Business Management Bureau's people find the data!"

If the hard drive data in the computer were destroyed, the Business Management Bureau would have nothing to find, and he would be safe.

Zhou Li didn't move, but gave a bitter smile, "General Manager Duan, it's already too late. Just fifteen minutes ago, two thieves entered the computer room and stole the hard drive. The thieves were caught by the police, and the hard drive fell into police hands. The police viewed the data and handed it over to the Business Management Bureau. The Bureau's visit now is merely for confirmation."

Hearing this, Duan Bingtian almost fainted.

Clearly, it was all arranged by Xu Yang.

Xu Yang, the bastard, was truly ruthless, striking right at his weak spot.

Duan Bingtian slumped down in his executive chair powerless.

Yet, he still did not give up.

His aged eyes darted around as he sat up straight again, staring at Zhou Li before him.

Since the Business Management Bureau had already obtained the hard drive, there was only one way left for him to extricate himself from the current predicament.
