Although Liu Haizhong's flattery was well-timed, Liu Kai Xuan unfortunately couldn't muster any interest in him.
People like Liu Haizhong were known for their sycophancy.
When you were in power, he would fawn over you like a dog.
But if you ever lost your status, he would lash out like a mad dog.
He was utterly useless at crucial moments.
Therefore, even if Liu Haizhong offered to be his dog now, it wouldn't be of any practical use.
Liu Haizhong knew at this moment that if he didn't present some form of pledge, Liu Kai Xuan would simply ignore him.
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and began to spill the beans.
"Director Liu, I have another piece of important intelligence to report to you!"
"A while ago, Yi Zhonghai wrote an anonymous complaint letter, accusing you of corrupt living habits?"
"What?"
When Liu Haizhong said this, Liu Kai Xuan finally showed a reaction.
"Yi Zhonghai wrote a complaint letter, accusing me?"
"Yes!"
Liu Haizhong stated with certainty, "This matter is absolutely true!"
Liu Kai Xuan questioned, "Then how can I be sure that everything you're telling me is the truth?"
"Because when Yi Zhonghai reported you, he communicated with me beforehand!"
"He intended to get me to sign a joint complaint letter with him, but I refused his despicable scheme!"
"Is that so?" Liu Kai Xuan retorted with a cold smile. "Liu Haizhong, since you intend to defect to me, you must show some sincerity!"
"Tell me honestly, did you yourself write an anonymous complaint letter accusing me?"
"I..." Liu Haizhong's face immediately crumpled, his expression turning stiff.
After a long pause, Liu Haizhong continued, "I admit, under Yi Zhonghai's instigation, I did write one at the time!"
"But I have now repented, I..."
"Ah!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded with a smile. "That's more like it!"
"Comrade Liu's spirit of realizing his mistakes and pulling back from the brink is commendable!"
"How about this, Old Liu, why don't you come with me to the factory director's office now and report this matter truthfully to Director Yang!"
"Director Liu, please don't do this!"
Liu Haizhong shook his head like a rattle drum, refusing. "I am now completely confiding in you!"
"If I go to the factory director's office to confess now, I'll be finished in minutes!"
"I genuinely came here to seek refuge with you, and I hope you can leave me a way out!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement. "Old Liu, why are you saying such things?"
"Didn't I just make it clear?"
"If you can pull back from the brink, you are still a good comrade!"
"And as a good comrade, nothing will happen to you!"
"You were the one who maliciously filed the complaint against me. As long as I agree to forgive you, there won't be much of an issue!"
"Furthermore, you are now a witness for the prosecution. I will suggest to Director Yang that you be rewarded appropriately!"
"But this..."
Liu Haizhong was still a little uneasy at this point.
He knew very well that once he took this step today, there would be no turning back.
If Liu Kai Xuan decided to turn on him later, the game of "inviting the gentleman into the urn" would be played out on him in minutes.
"What?" Liu Kai Xuan said loudly. "Liu Haizhong, you don't trust me, do you?"
"If you don't trust me, you can leave right now. I won't keep you!"
At this moment, Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and finally agreed. "Director Liu, please don't misunderstand!"
"I will do as you say, but you..."
"Don't worry!"
Liu Kai Xuan patted his shoulder comfortingly. "From now on, we are our own people!"
If Liu Haizhong truly went and betrayed Yi Zhonghai today, then Liu Kai Xuan could trust him for the time being.
Although this dog might not be 100% reliable in the future, he would certainly be handy for "biting" people in the short term.
The Liu family, with their three sons, possessed formidable combat strength, and Madam Er was a formidable figure.
Four outstanding members of one family, capable of both literary and martial arts!
Five minutes later, Liu Kai Xuan, with Liu Haizhong in tow, arrived at the factory director's office.
Yang Zheng immediately invited Liu Kai Xuan to sit and asked Chen Guang to pour him a cup of tea.
As for Liu Haizhong, he was directly ignored by Yang Zheng.
Liu Kai Xuan said with a smile, "Old Yang, I've come today to report a very important situation to you!"
"Speak!"
Yang Zheng replied cheerfully, "Is it a work-related issue or a personal one?"
Liu Kai Xuan continued, "A while ago, didn't someone write an anonymous letter accusing me?"
"Uh... this..."
Yang Zheng became flustered. According to regulations, the identity of the informant could not be disclosed.
Disclosure would be a violation.
Especially since Liu Kai Xuan was the subject of the accusation, if Yang Zheng revealed the informant's identity to Liu Kai Xuan, and Liu Kai Xuan subsequently retaliated against the informant, Yang Zheng would also be held accountable!
"Hahaha!"
As Yang Zheng stammered, Liu Kai Xuan laughed.
"Don't get agitated, Old Yang. I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Since the accusation was anonymous, I won't inquire about the informant's identity!"
"However, today, Comrade Liu Haizhong has brought a very serious situation to my attention!"
"Now, please have Old Liu repeat the situation in front of Director Yang!"
"Yes!"
Liu Haizhong nodded and recounted to Yang Zheng the details of how he and Yi Zhonghai had jointly filed a complaint against Liu Kai Xuan.
"What? Is there such a thing!"
After listening to Liu Haizhong's explanation, Yang Zheng's expression changed drastically!
Yang Zheng was aware of the complaint letter, as that "joint complaint letter" was currently in his possession.
It not only bore Yi Zhonghai's signature but also Liu Haizhong's.
Therefore, Liu Haizhong's current "confession" of the truth was highly convincing!
"Yes!"
Liu Haizhong continued, "My mind was clouded with greed, and I was deceived by that scumbag Yi Zhonghai!"
"However, I have now come to my senses. I implore the factory leadership to give me a chance to reform!"
Yang Zheng glanced at Liu Kai Xuan.
Liu Kai Xuan said sternly, "I personally believe that since Comrade Liu Haizhong has confessed and sincerely repented!"
"I can temporarily forgive his actions!"
"The mastermind behind the complaint letter incident is Yi Zhonghai!"
"I hope Director Yang will thoroughly investigate the truth, deal with Yi Zhonghai's barbaric behavior severely, and bring me justice!"
"Mm!"
Yang Zheng said gravely, "Kai Xuan, rest assured!"
"Since Liu Haizhong has already confessed, there's nothing for me to hide!"
"The factory will deal with Yi Zhonghai's barbaric behavior seriously. However, regarding Liu Haizhong..."
