"He injured his leg while working, so it counts as a workplace injury. And after he got hurt, you didn't compensate him immediately, did you?"

Faced with Lin Beichen's words, Huo Minghao was momentarily at a loss for words, suddenly unsure of how to respond. Because, as Lin Beichen said, when the incident first started to unfold, Huo Group didn't pay enough attention, choosing instead to quickly dismiss those involved to keep things quiet. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Had the matter not escalated and caused quite the stir later on, Huo Group would never have decided to compensate Zhang Yuefei. Huo Minghao pondered this in his heart but had no choice but to admit Lin Beichen's words were indeed true.

"We didn't compensate immediately because we were conducting a thorough investigation of the entire matter at the time." After a moment of contemplation, Huo Minghao finally spoke, his tone revealing an undeniable seriousness. "Look, now we've gotten to the bottom of it and have compensated, haven't we?"

As he said this, his gaze was unwavering, as if he'd found an unassailable reason, enough to leave Lin Beichen speechless.

Yet, at that moment, an unexpected interruption broke the silence.

"You two security guards, are you blind? Someone is causing trouble at the office door, and you turn a blind eye?" Huo Minghao suddenly turned and yelled angrily at the two security guards standing a short distance away.

Startled by Huo Minghao's sudden scolding, the two guards snapped out of it, quickly hurrying toward Lin Beichen's direction, clearly aiming to quell the disturbance.

However, just as they were about to reach Lin Beichen, a calm and powerful voice suddenly stopped them in their tracks.

"Hold on! These people were brought by me, they have the right to be here." Huo Sizun appeared in front of the crowd at some point, his tone firm and decisive, unquestionable.

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately halted, looking at each other in confusion. Though they were security for Huo Group, they didn't dare defy a high-ranking figure like Huo Sizun.

"Let him finish what he has to say." Huo Sizun spoke again, his tone carrying an authority that brooked no refusal.

Huo Minghao, hearing this, showed a hint of impatience on his face. He frowned, evidently displeased with Huo Sizun's interference. However, being a wise person, he knew clashing head-on with Huo Sizun wouldn't be a smart move in this situation.

"If you have something to say, say it directly, don't waste my time here." Huo Minghao spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Beichen as if assessing the other's strength. "My time is very valuable."

But Lin Beichen wasn't intimidated by Huo Minghao's imposing manner. He maintained his calm demeanor, as if everything was under his control.

"You know better than anyone what the truth of the matter is." Lin Beichen slowly opened his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm. "As for who is lying, I don't wish to waste words here. I'm here today not to blow things up, I just want an apology."

Hearing this, Huo Minghao's face showed disbelief. He never expected Lin Beichen to go through all this just for an apology. As someone in a high position at Huo Group, he had never bowed his head to anyone before. Asking him to apologize easily was simply unimaginable.

"You want me to apologize? Don't dream on!" Huo Minghao snorted coldly, his tone filled with resolve. "The money's been paid to you, be satisfied. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

With that, he turned to leave, clearly not wanting to get entangled further with Lin Beichen.

However, Lin Beichen was unwilling to let it go like that. He chuckled coldly, his tone tinged with amusement: "Leaving just like that? Is this the attitude of Huo Group? Truly laughable."

Upon hearing this, Huo Minghao was instantly enraged. He turned sharply, his eyes like daggers pointed at Lin Beichen: "Say that again, huh? Who do you think you are, to dare make a scene here?"

With that, he waved his hand to signal the two security guards to seize Lin Beichen. The guards hesitated at his words, although they were security, they were aware this situation wasn't simple. Acting rashly would likely cause bigger troubles.

"What are you waiting for? Don't you want your jobs anymore?" Huo Minghao shouted harshly as the guards remained motionless.

Startled by Huo Minghao's outburst, the guards hurriedly headed toward Lin Beichen, even though reluctantly, they didn't dare defy Huo Minghao's orders.

"Please leave quickly. You're giving us a hard time staying here." One guard said helplessly, trying to persuade Lin Beichen to leave, hoping to prevent the situation from worsening further.

However, Lin Beichen paid no heed to their advice. He stood there confidently, seeming indifferent to the two guards.

"If you keep this up, don't blame us for being impolite." Seeing this, the other guard threatened, his eyes scanning around as if seeking backup.

Soon, the two guards reached a consensus. They proceeded to attack Lin Beichen, attempting to subdue him. But their attack seemed weak against Lin Beichen. He easily dodged their move with a slight shuffle.

Seeing this, the guards were astonished. They never imagined Lin Beichen's skills were so extraordinary.

"What's going on? How is he so fast?" One guard exclaimed. After this, he launched another attack on Lin Beichen, yet the result was the same as before, Lin Beichen effortlessly dodging their moves.

"Since you've made the first move, I won't be polite, then." Lin Beichen smirked coldly, initiating a counterattack on the guards. His speed was phenomenal, his moves fierce, rendering the guards defenseless.

In just a few exchanges, the guards were both knocked to the ground, groaning in pain, evidently incapacitated.

Seeing this, Huo Minghao was shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Beichen's skills to be such. He felt secretly glad he hadn't acted rashly earlier, or else he might end up like the guards, defeated by Lin Beichen.

Now, Huo Minghao's heart was filled with fear and unease. He worried Lin Beichen might deal with him as he did with the guards. However, he didn't want to show his fear and unease. He stood there pretending to be calm, threatening Lin Beichen: "Touch me and the entire Huo Group won't let you go!"

Hearing this, Lin Beichen chuckled coldly. He knew these threats meant nothing to him. He understood Huo Minghao was bluffing. If he could really do it, he wouldn't be standing there babbling.

"Don't worry, I just want to discuss some matters, I won't harm you." Lin Beichen said softly, his tone exuding confidence and composure.

Upon hearing this, Huo Minghao paused a moment. He hadn't expected Lin Beichen to let him off so easily. Hesitating briefly, he nodded, agreeing to Lin Beichen's request.

"Speak quickly, I have a meeting to attend. If you delay my meeting, I'll make sure you regret it!" Huo Minghao spoke coldly, occasionally glancing at his watch, exhibiting a sense of urgency.
