Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 799 - 508 The Overturn of the Predecessor_1

"Okay."

Yue Gengyang agreed without any hesitation.

To him, it was just an insignificant small stockholder, "the trend" has spoken, of course he followed the trend!

The golden pig had already flown, nothing could surpass the trend!

Although he knew Yue Gengyang wouldn’t oppose much, his decisive agreement still made Feng Yi pause for a moment.

President Yue, don’t you have principles? Won’t you ask a few more questions?

Feng Yi decided to explain a bit.

He first mentioned the events of the day, including the incident that occurred when he left. But he decided to kick Li Daike out of the Ancestor Factory’s shareholder group not for this reason.

"He’s on drugs," Feng Yi said, "regular intake of a certain type, possibly still experimental, addictive, and likely to be banned."

The drug he referred to wasn’t the kind needed for normal medicinal purposes, nor the ones explicitly banned by law, but those that might be strictly controlled and considered illegal in the future.

Though the other party didn’t show it obviously, in front of Feng Yi, many things couldn’t stay hidden.

As an expert certified by the Syndicate of Bondsmen, he had accessed samples of prohibited items and detainees’ information during missions and stored them in his brain’s database.

The scent emanating from inside out of Li Daike gave him a similar feeling. A very bad feeling.

"But let’s not wrong anyone—let’s investigate first. Once we’re sure, then we’ll kick him out," Feng Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Yue Gengyang’s expression turned serious.

If it were an ordinary person or a different type of company, there wouldn’t be too much of an impact at this stage. But the nature of the Ancestor Factory was different; news about a shareholder abusing unknown drugs could touch on the company’s core interests.

The issue with Li Daike wasn’t trivial—it was pulling them back!

The Ancestor Factory was booming in development; with new drugs hitting the market, the following years were going to be when the giant beast that was the Ancestor Factory truly began to consume gold voraciously!

No one was allowed to hold them back!

Kick him out, kick him out!

Of course, there would be an investigation. Yue Gengyang would conduct it seriously, not just for Li Daike, but he’d also vet the other shareholders to eliminate any internal threats.

Where did Li Daike get his drugs? Were other shareholders involved? Was there someone behind the scenes plotting against the Ancestor Factory?

Everything had to be investigated!

After the investigation, he’d kick them out immediately!

However, he couldn’t reveal the real reason until the lines were clearly drawn, secrecy was a must.

Once it was safe to do so, after a steady period, they would make a move!

It wasn’t long after.

When Li Daike received the news that he was to be kicked out of the shareholder group, he was utterly stunned.

Why?! Why has it come to this?

He was completely unprepared for this!

He pondered and racked his brains but couldn’t make sense of it!

After a series of phone calls, contacting other small shareholders of the Ancestor Factory, and with hints from some, he inevitably connected the news to Feng Yi.

Could it really be because of Feng Yi?

Previously, everything was calm; they each minded their own business. He had recently invited Feng Yi to a meal, and for that... he was getting kicked out of the shareholder group?

No, wasn’t it said that Feng Yi was just a target set up by Yue Gengyang to charge into battle?

How could this...

I haven’t even seen Yue Gengyang’s face, only invited Feng Yi for a meal, and I’m losing my shareholder status just for that?!

How could this be allowed?

How could it come to this?!

Right when Yue Gengyang returned from a business trip, Li Daike rushed to the Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building to confront Yue Gengyang face to face.

Li Daike played a trick; he started ranting right at the bottom of the company building, in front of many employees and clients.

He talked about friendship, business deals, and moving from the past generation to the current one—how had he wronged the Ancestor Factory?!

Faced with Li Daike’s emotionally charged loud questioning, Yue Gengyang calmly invited him to the office for a conversation that lasted less than five minutes.

Throughout the entire process, Yue Gengyang didn’t mention Feng Yi at all, only mentioning that Li Daike secretly misused certain drugs, violating the agreement.

That day, at the Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building, many people saw Li Daike silently walking out of President Yue’s office, silently leaving the building, completely devoid of his previous agitation and excitement, but his eyes were dark and carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Li Daike was indeed roiling with emotions beneath his silence.

Yue Gengyang had exposed his secret use of certain drugs, something that other than his close confidants, no one should have known!

Who could it be?!

Who betrayed me?!

After cooperatively completing the "withdrawal from group" process, Li Daike frantically vetted his personnel once he returned.

As for the real reason he was kicked out of the group, Li Daike kept his lips sealed. Both he and Yue Gengyang would not disclose it to the outside.

Gradually, rumors spread that Li Daike was removed from the group because he offended Feng Yi.

Quite a few people believed it.

While everyone was analyzing the true reason behind the incident, they also set their sights on Li Daike’s vacated shareholder position.

If one was kicked out, perhaps another could be added in?

There were plenty who coveted that spot!

Even if they had joined forces previously to probe the Ancestral Factory, the moment this position became available, even if Li Daike was reluctant to leave and wished to return, others would push him aside.

At the same time, other shareholders were also put under scrutiny—

If one could be kicked out, did it imply that many more could also be taken down?

The other shareholders who were just watching the show: ...

They were eager to engage more with President Yue, and if Feng Yi had time, they would also love to interact!

After this incident, even if they were still unclear about Feng Yi’s position at the Ancestral Factory, no one would dare underestimate him.

Asking Feng Yi to call them "Brother" to their face like Li Daike did, or playing those juvenile tricks, only those with normal intelligence would not attempt it.

Someone even raised a non-existent glass in a toasting gesture: "Delko is truly a good guy!"

Let the failure of one serve as a lesson for another. Delko’s "driving skills" are moving indeed, he fell just right!

The matter with Li Daike was circulated only within certain circles; the general public did not focus on these issues.

By comparison, news that a car almost got smashed near a construction site was far more attractive.

Especially those sensationalist posts pushed by some of Yang City’s local internet marketers, which Feng Yi didn’t subscribe to—it was Feng Chi who forwarded them to him, but they were mostly rubbish news with "headlines worth more than the full text."

The investigative team didn’t make much substantial progress either. The two people they caught did not lie; they were simply paid to do a job. This approach gave them more peace of mind, as there was no need to know who paid them, just do the job and get the money, which reduced their chances of being "cleaned up."

Feng Yi sat by the koi pond, after finishing a call with the investigative team.

The butler, having trimmed some branches in the courtyard, came over and, upon learning of the unsatisfactory progress of the investigation, still maintained a proper demeanor, his voice calm and reassuring:

"We’re in no hurry, let’s take it slow."

Feng Yi: "I’m not in a hurry." He would be able to sense anyone harboring ill will in the future. He had the patience for it.

The butler continued, "We’ll find those dirty, despicable, dark, malicious bugs, one by one."

The nearby Jia and a few others couldn’t help but glance at the butler.

With such a multitude of adjectives, beneath your distinguished calm, your murderous intent is quite heavy!

At the Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building, in Yue Gengyang’s office.

After turning down an invitation from a minor shareholder, Yue Gengyang was about to review some documents when Ji Fan came from the core laboratory.

Feng Yi almost got hit at the construction site, and she had called him at the time, but Feng Yi said he was alright and that arrangements would be made, telling her to focus on the laboratory side.

Now that the research at the laboratory was reaching a pause, she came over to discuss things with Yue Gengyang.

"I heard that the investigation isn’t making much progress, should we put in more effort?"

Yue Gengyang shook his head slightly, "I’ve asked, we should still focus on the company’s business for now, they have the butler there."

Lately, the butler has been facing restrictions in the modification projects for large airplanes and helicopters, many "excellent" design proposals are not allowed in the country.

The butler was struggling to find an outlet for his benevolence, and was quite frustrated.

"Alright... let’s leave it to the butler to handle for now." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
