Chapter 297: The Evidence
One of the descendants of the extended Yan Family immediately spoke up, “Hmph, how are you going to defend yourself now? To have raised an outsider like you for so many years in vain, you’re really an ingrate!”
He did not take a look at those doc.u.ments, but he was on Yan Yuan’s side. At this moment, he was just adding oil to the fire and intentionally mentioning Yan-3’s ident.i.ty.
Yan Yuan’s men forced Yan-3 to kneel on the ground in the middle of the hall. Yan-3 struggled to raise his head and look at Elder Mrs. Yan. “Elder Mrs. Yan, you praised me for being honest and open, which was why you allowed me to continue working for President Yan, right? l, Yan-3, am not afraid of accusations thrown on me. I’ve received the Yan Family’s great kindness all these years. Even if you want my life, I am willing to give it. But I’ll never admit to anything I have not done!”
“Hmph, you’re just deceiving grandma with flowery words!” Yan Yuan snorted and pointed at Yan-3. “Back then, your background was unknown. Yan Ruo kept you by his side for so many years, so you must’ve stolen a lot of secrets from the Yan Family! Who knows if you were ordered to come here on purpose back then?! ”
After saying that, Yan Yuan turned to look at the old lady and changed back to his humble appearance. “Grandma, you’ve seen the evidence, but he’s still quibbling. He really has ulterior motives! As the saying goes, there’s no knowing what’s in a person’s heart. If we don’t get rid of him today, the one who will suffer in the future will be Yan Ruo. t
Yan Yuan sighed and looked very sad. “It’s a pity that Yan Ruo brought back an ungrateful sc.u.m and now his whereabouts are unknown… Sigh…”
Elder Mrs. Yan used her walking stick to hit the ground.
Among her grandchildren, she had always doted on Yan Ruo. Otherwise, she would not have brought him to her side to raise.
Not to mention that she had long planned to hand over the Yan Family’s business to Yan Ruo. He would soon be the true person in charge of the Yan Family. This matter was more or less fixed, and those shareholders and families with connections to them had already tacitly acknowledged this.
Yan Ruffs disappearance was no small matter. If they did not want to cause any more trouble, they really should resolve everything as soon as possible today.
Even though Elder Mrs. Yan was already in her 70s, her eyes were still sharp.
Yan-3 picked up the so-called “evidence” under Elder Mrs. Yan’s gaze.
“This… l…” Yan-3 looked at those things and stammered. He could not say anything.
70% of those doc.u.ments were true and 30% of them false; even if he were to
explain, it would not be clear.
He had indeed contacted many mercenary groups in private, and he had also privately mobilized some people.
However, that was to find out who was behind the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bai Lin. It was also to investigate Bai Lin and the Bai Family. These things were of great importance, and he could not explain them openly.
Sometimes, lies were not completely false. As long as the cause and effect were reversed, or a few unrelated things were pieced together, it was enough to form a more authentic lie. Such a lie could also better guide public opinion and nail people into a dead end.
Yan-3’s speechlessness was seen as an admission of his betrayal. A few of them started to whisper among themselves.
“13 years ago, Ruo’er bought you from a human trafficker so that you wouldn’t have to suffer. I did let you stay because of your honesty.” Elder Mrs. Yan seemed to be angry but not at the same time. Her tone was calm and dignified. “The Yan Family has taken you in for so many years. I’ve never treated you as an ordinary servant in my heart. However, since you can’t refute these pieces of evidence, I can’t trust you anymore.”
Yan-3 clenched his fists and the veins on his arms bulged. “I’ve never done anything to let President Yan down!”
However, such an explanation was too weak, and he could not speak the truth.
The extended family descendants and the subsidiaries’ directors were discussing how Yan-3 had betrayed the Yan Family in the hall.
Yan-3 raised his eyes and swept his gaze across these people. He remembered how they had fawned over Yan Ruo and expressed their loyalty to him. He also remembered how they had begged him to put in a good word for them in front of Yan Ruo.
At this moment, they were like wheat in the autumn harvest season, falling to the other side in unison.
Yan-3 had been by Yan Ruffs side for many years. This was the first time he felt so helpless..
