"What!" Li Deyaoy instantly slammed the table and rose, sternly refuting, "Li Shuhai, what nonsense are you spouting, shut up!"
Hu Quande said loudly, "You're the one who should shut up, Li Deyaoy, sit down!"
"But I..."
"I told you to sit down!" Li Deyaoy tried to say something else, but was again sternly warned by Hu Quande.
Although Li Deyaoy eventually sat down, he was restless.
What Li Shuhai had just said was devastating!
After suppressing Li Deyaoy's agitation, Hu Quande continued, "Li Shuhai, please continue!"
"A year ago, Liu Kai Xuan and Factory Director Li had a serious conflict due to some work disagreements!"
"It was at that time that Factory Director Li harbored resentment towards Liu Kai Xuan and had been looking for an opportunity to retaliate!"
"But at that time, the engineering department was short of talent, and directly dismissing Liu Kai Xuan might affect production!"
"Director Yang had repeatedly warned Li Deyaoy not to act rashly, so Li Deyaoy had to restrain his attitude and lie low, waiting for an opportunity!"
At this point, Li Deyaoy wanted to get up and scold Li Shuhai again, but the police officer standing beside him pressed his shoulder.
The police officer who was in charge of the case had already informed Li Deyaoy that he would have a chance to explain, but now it was Li Shuhai's turn to speak.
He had to wait for Li Shuhai to finish explaining what he knew before Li Deyaoy could make his defense.
Li Deyaoy was also a man of the world; he naturally knew the consequences of obstructing judicial authorities at this time.
But he really couldn't sit still now. Li Shuhai was his staunch confidant.
Li Shuhai knew almost all the shady things Li Deyaoy had done and had even been deeply involved in them.
Logically speaking, Li Shuhai's loyalty to Li Deyaoy should be absolute, and he shouldn't have betrayed him so easily.
But the current reality was that Li Shuhai seemed to have gone crazy and was biting wildly as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
"Comrade Hu Quande, Li Shuhai is spouting nonsense!"
"I strongly suspect that he secretly received benefits from Liu Kai Xuan and is deliberately trying to set me up!"
Hu Quande said loudly, "Whether Li Shuhai has set you up or not, we will investigate later!"
"But I warn you, Li Deyaoy, if you dare to speak wildly and disrupt the investigation again, you will bear all the consequences!"
Under Hu Quande's solemn warning, Li Deyaoy finally shut his mouth.
Li Shuhai continued, "After more than a year of development!"
"Under the leadership of Director Liu Kai Xuan, the engineering department has finally developed a team of human resources!"
"The engineering department is no longer short of people, and it's time for Li Deyaoy to discard me after I've served my purpose!"
"Li Deyaoy asked me to secretly contact Chen An. We promised Chen An benefits!"
"Chen An was responsible for contacting colleagues in the engineering department, and we would all report and bring down Liu Kai Xuan together!"
"Li Deyaoy privately assured Chen An: After Liu Kai Xuan is brought down, Chen An will take over as the director of the engineering department!"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
This time, it wasn't Li Deyaoy who became agitated; even Yang Zheng, the "outsider," started to get worked up.
"Yes!" Li Shuhai said affirmatively, "I personally experienced everything!"
"I guarantee that every word I say is the truth!"
"I know I have committed serious sins and sincerely request the organization to show me leniency!"
Yang Zheng looked at Chen An and said sternly, "Chen An, do you have anything to say now?"
"I..." Chen An was so angry he was about to vomit blood.
How could Li Shuhai, Li Deyaoy's staunch confidant, turn against him so easily?
At this critical moment, Liu Kai Xuan also stepped forward and advised him, "Chen An, you must think carefully!"
"If you confess voluntarily now, you might still get leniency!"
"Li Shuhai has already confessed the truth, so there's no point in trying to conceal it anymore!"
"If Liu Guangtian and the others confess later, you won't have a chance to confess then."
"I..." Chen An was almost about to explode on the spot.
He was unwilling to simply surrender and admit guilt.
But as Liu Kai Xuan said, since Li Shuhai had already confessed, what was the point of him stubbornly holding on?
Chen An hesitated for a moment, and then Liu Guangfu spoke, "Officer, I have something important to report to you!"
"Everything I just said was fake!"
"Fake!" Hu Quande said in a deep voice, "Liu Guangfu, you brat, you're incredibly arrogant!"
"How dare you speak so recklessly in front of our judicial authorities?"
"No, no, no!"
Liu Guangfu shamelessly explained, "Officer, you misunderstood. You weren't here when I was speaking!"
"It's like this!"
"Originally, I didn't intend to betray Liu Kai Xuan. Chen An used Factory Director Li to pressure me!"
"If I didn't listen to him, I wouldn't be able to work at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill anymore!"
"I was really forced, I'm wronged!" Liu Guangfu couldn't bear the pressure and confessed everything.
Since Liu Guangfu had started to act, Liu Guangtian couldn't fall behind either, "Me too, I'll confess too!"
"It was Chen An who used Factory Director Li's power to force us brothers to falsely accuse Director Liu!"
"The main culprit is Chen An!"
It's over!
At this critical moment, the Liu brothers couldn't bear the pressure and collectively turned against him. Li Deyaoy's body staggered, and he slumped onto the seat.
If only Li Shuhai had turned against him, Li Deyaoy could have adopted a strategy of "sacrificing a pawn to save the king" and sold out Li Shuhai to save himself.
But now, the number of compromised witnesses had increased from one to three, directly pushing Li Deyaoy to a dead end.
"I was also forced! It was Chen An and Li Shuhai who forced me to do this, I'm wronged!"
After the Liu brothers turned against him, Chen Lecheng also collapsed instantly and was completely deflated.
Seeing everyone turn against him, Yan Jiecheng naturally couldn't be left behind.
He quickly clarified himself, "I was also forced by Chen An!"
"Chen An told me that Yu Li and Liu Kai Xuan were having an affair, and this was all Chen An's scheme!"
"The main culprit is Li Deyaoy, and I was just helping Li Deyaoy!"
Chen An wasn't stupid. Everyone was pushing the blame onto him.
If he didn't quickly shift the responsibility, with so many crimes weighing on him, would he be waiting to be shot?
"Chen An, you mad dog, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Li Deyaoy instantly slammed the table and sternly reprimanded, "It was clearly you who were jealous and determined to go all out against Liu Kai Xuan!"
"This has nothing to do with me!"
