Chapter 560: Defeating Sun Hao Thoroughly
Su Yang did not agree to Wang Sunjun’s request immediately. Instead, he opened the file and looked through it carefully. There was only an evidence list and some simple evidence including a track record, some pictures and a USB flash drive.
Then, Su Yang took out the USB flash drive and looked at Wang Sunjun.
Wang Sunjun took the initiative to explain, “Mr. Su, this is the real evidence. When Sun Hao first had his trust in me, he brought me along to many of his usual places and met some people from the relevant departments whom he had a business relationship with. After a while, I began to feel that something was wrong, so I secretly filmed and recorded some videos and voice recordings.”
Su Yang looked at the USB drive and thought for a while before saying, “Alright, leave this matter to me. I’ll have a look when I go back. Don’t worry, as long as there’s no problem with the evidence, I’ll definitely make Sun Hao pay the price.”
After bidding farewell to Wang Sunjun, Su Yang returned home and checked the evidence on the USB drive with Little Deeny.
‘With all this evidence here, although some of it is flawed, it’s definitely enough. Sun Hao isn’t going to escape this time.
‘However, I refuse to let Sun Hao go down so easily. I’m not going to settle this matter so simply.
‘Now that I definitely have the high ground, I should expand the degree of my victory. After all, the completion rate of my [Advanced Random Mission] depends on the degree of my victory.
‘Furthermore, this is an [Advanced Bronze Random Mission], where the [Random Prize Voucher] given is extremely precious.
‘Previously, I received an [Advanced Life Evolution Voucher] that could turn anything into a humanoid monster.
‘I don’t intend on receiving a prize lower than that one.
‘Therefore, I must show every one who’s boss! I’m going to show everyone how ruthless I am against my enemies! Furthermore, I’ll always confront my enemies head-on!
‘Since the Fengs are adamant on protecting Sun Hao no matter what, then I’m going to beat him down so hard that he will never get up again! Since the Fengs intend on letting Sun Hao keep his position as CEO in [In] Company, I’m going to kick him out of that position myself!
‘I’m a real man who will fight head-on! Come what may!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang asked Little Deeny to arrange a meeting with the investors and investment companies of [In] Company.
[In] Company had just completed their B+ round of funding for that year. There were only two investors and 3 investment companies which was not a lot. Hence, Su Yang would be in time to meet them personally.
At that moment, Su Yang’s reputation in Shanghai and Hangzhou was positively booming. Even if both parties had some conflicts of interest, they might still work together in the future. Therefore, the five big shots had all taken time out to meet Su Yang.
Before they met, Su Yang made a copy of the evidence and got Mr. Jia to hand it over to the police. He made sure that even if he showed the evidence to the big shots, it would not affect Sun Hao’s conviction.
As for why he gave it to Mr. Jia, it was because Mr. Jia had a very strong relationship with the police in both Shanghai and Hangzhou. Furthermore, it was because... How could the boss of a company personally attend to that kind of trivial matter!
After Mr. Jia handed over the evidence and confirmed that the police were taking the matter seriously, Su Yang met with the five big shots privately.
The first thing Su Yang said when he met them was, “My friends, I’m here to help you mitigate your losses.”
If someone else had said that, those big shots would have thought that the person before them was either mentally deranged or extremely arrogant.
However, in front of Su Yang, who had his cheats on, they only felt that Su Yang was extremely friendly towards them. No matter how they looked at him, there was a kind of friendliness in him that they could not hate no matter what.
Therefore, whether they were good-tempered or bad, they all asked in unison, “Oh? What do you mean by that?”
Su Yang then went on to tell them about Sun Hao’s illegal activities. There would definitely be some amongst the big shots who did not believe him. Hence, Su Yang showed them part of the evidence and also the receipt to show that the evidence had been submitted to the investigator-in-charge.
When they saw the facts before them, the big shots finally started to take Sun Hao seriously.
‘The reason we agreed to the Fengs’s support earlier was because Sun Hao’s issue was not too severe. Furthermore, since he had the Fengs’s support, it was very likely that he would be exonerated which would not cause us too much trouble, time-wise.
‘However, from the looks of it now, if Sun Hao really has done so many illegal things just as Su Yang says, it’s very likely that Sun Hao will be spending the next ten years in jail. Plus, he’s going to have a criminal record.
‘This kind of person is definitely unsuitable to lead a company.’
Therefore, they immediately began to hesitate how they would deal with Sun Hao.
‘Actually, we truly have the intention of removing Sun Hao from the position of CEO, but... What about the Fengs?
‘If we do this behind the Fengs’s back, it doesn’t matter if we have enough shares in the company. Even if we do have enough, we will definitely be offending the Fengs.
‘It doesn’t seem... Worth it to offend the Fengs for such a project which isn’t exactly that big.’
Su Yang could tell that these big shots were being placed in a difficult position, so he made some plans for them. Since it was difficult for them to deal with the matter, they might as well tell the Fengs about it and let them make the decision.
‘Let’s see if the Fengs are prepared to mitigate their losses in a timely manner and give up on Sun Hao, or if they are prepared to stick to their word until the end to make up for everyone’s losses.’
That night, when the five big shots called Feng Li one after another and told her about this matter, Feng Li was silent for a long time. In the end, she had no choice but to accept the fact that Sun Hao was a hopeless case.
‘I previously thought that Sun Hao’s issue wasn’t that severe and Su Yang had only caught onto him with some minor charge. Hence, with the Fengs’s connections, we could defend Sun Hao to the end and show the people how generous we are.
‘But now... Sun Hao’s crimes are too severe, plus the evidence against him has him dead to rights.
‘So, the Fengs will not get ourselves involved for an outsider when this is now such a sensitive case.
‘If all this is true, Sun Hao is looking at ten years of jail time at least.
‘Forget about the issue of whether [In] Company would be able to have its CEO position left empty for ten years. Even if it was possible, would Sun Hao be able to adjust himself to the world ten years later? Would he be able to be the CEO?
‘This is a much more important question.’
At the same time, the investors and investment companies followed Su Yang’s suggestion and voiced out their demands. As long as the Fengs were willing to refund the investment capital, they could sell their shares to the Fengs. Thus, the Fengs would then be in complete control over [In] Company with their departure.
However, the Fengs would most definitely not spend hundreds of millions of yuan to take over [In] company just for Sun Hao who was a lost cause. Furthermore, even if they did, without Sun Hao and the core team, the company would be completely useless, so what use would the Fengs have for the company after they took over?
Spend hundreds of millions of yuan for a lost cause? Feng Li was neither that foolish, nor were the Fengs standing on top of mountains of cash.
Therefore, upon coming to a unanimous decision, Feng Li chose to abandon Sun Hao without hesitation.
‘As for my promise to Sun Hao...
‘What’s a promise? Is it something that can be eaten? Stop kidding yourself, is it more important than money?
‘The reality of society is that it’s ruled by the law of the jungle. Everything depends on profits and benefits...’
Hence, just when the upper echelons of Hangzhou and Shanghai thought that Sun Hao was going to succeed and that Su Yang would not be able to take him down in one fell swoop, two days later, the five investors and investment companies issued a joint statement. Due to Sun Hao’s illegal activities and negative public opinion, they have decided to suspend Sun Hao’s position as CEO.
Hence, everyone was stunned.
‘The rate that this society’s changing is so rapid!
‘Two days ago, the Fengs were still supporting Sun Hao at all costs, while the five investors and investment companies had also decided to be cowards and steer away. Why has the situation suddenly change?
‘What exactly happened?’
No one was stupid enough to believe that Sun Hao was fired because of the negative public opinion against him and his illegal activities. ‘If those investors had come to such a realization, Sun Hao would have been removed two days ago.
‘So, what exactly happened?’
Everyone started to study the “Joint Statement” carefully. In the end, they realized that it was filled with nonsense. However, there was only one sentence that seemed to have revealed some clues. ‘The statement actually included a section where they are thanking Su Yang?!
‘What the h*ll is this?
‘What role did Su Yang play in this matter?
‘Weren’t these five investors and investment companies on the Fengs and Sun Hao’s side? Why are they thanking Su Yang instead?
‘Now that Sun Hao has lost the support of both the Fengs and his investors, he’s definitely doomed. If they’ve even gone and given up on him, Sun Hao’s definitely destined to fail thoroughly this time!’
Therefore, the various parties started to use their connections to inquire about the whole story.
After a series of investigations, someone soon found out that Su Yang had arranged to meet with the five investors and investment companies two days ago where their conversation lasted from 20 minutes to two hours.
No one knew what they were talking about because Su Yang was talking to the five of them alone. They only knew that Su Yang was chatting away happily with them...
Later, when the five big shots returned, they locked themselves in their office for a period of time, most likely making phone calls inside.
Some people tried to find out more from the five of them. However, the five of them had their own principles and were unwilling to disclose anything. Hence, no one knew what Su Yang had talked to them about. They only knew that Su Yang had miraculously turned the situation around once again!
If Su Yang’s previous actions were to make everyone think that he was patient and smart, then right now, everyone only had one impression of Su Yang, he was a strategist.
‘Each and every counterattack he made was perfect, every step was carefully planned and they were all ruthless and decisive. Su Yang’s not giving his enemy any chance to even breathe.
‘The Fengs have done a good job in their fight against Su Yang this time. However, they have still ended up being defeated by Su Yang with no chance to even retaliate.’
Thus, everyone’s evaluation of Su Yang kept increasing. In the end, most of them agreed that Su Yang was a person who they should only befriend and not make an enemy out of. ‘He’s terrifying!’
Of course, everyone only felt that Su Yang had displayed his potential as the next generation tycoon. However, no one thought that Su Yang was on the same level as the Fengs.
‘Intelligence may be able to make up for a lot of things, but it definitely wouldn’t be able to make up for the gap there is between true power.
‘Putting aside Old Master Feng who has been around for decades, the next generation of the Fengs are either in some related departments, or they’re in the business. However, each and everyone of them are outstanding. Just the wealth that the Fengs hold is already in the tens of billions of yuan on the surface. Even if it were just in the form of investment capitals, it’s already more than enough to drown Su Yang in it.
‘Not to mention the Fengs’s influence from behind the scenes.’
Therefore, no one compared Su Yang to the Fengs. The difference between them could be compared to an ant and an elephant.
Even if Su Yang had the backing of the Jiangs, Su Yang was not part of them after all. Hence, the Jiangs would not start a war with the Fengs for Su Yang’s sake.
Even though Su Yang had been devising strategies for a long time, he had only killed one of the Fengs’s lap dogs. Furthermore, that was one of the weaker ones.
Hence, while everyone was impressed by Su Yang’s strategy, they were also impressed by the Fengs’s power.
This was a true top-tier family in the country. Even though they had suffered such a counterattack, they had only suffered a minor injury, not a fatal one.
However, Su Yang disagreed.
Actually, when he was dealing with Sun Hao, he had been secretly plotting against the Fengs...
‘Who said that ants can’t defeat an elephant?
‘I’ll put aside the fact that teamwork makes the dream work!
‘But, wouldn’t a single ant be able to bite an elephant to death?
‘What if it was a Fire Ant? Plus, Fire Ants can even breathe fire!
‘I’m exactly like that, I may seem weak, but I’m actually a very powerful fire-breathing ant! I’m able to use my small stature to torture an elephant to death!
‘That’s because... I have my system!’
