Chapter 1451: Chapter 1284: I Believe, Shen Peishen, is Guilty!_3
Everyone looked at him.
Bai Xiaosheng did not glance at anyone else but smiled warmly at Shen Peishen, "They did not come to America."
Shen Peishen’s heart sank suddenly, but his face showed shock and anger, "Bai Xiaosheng, you are playing me!"
Shen Peishen pointed at the individuals on the podium, "No... you are toying with the leaders of the headquarters!"
Bai Xiaosheng remained calm, gesturing to one side with a light chuckle, "Acting President Shen Peishen, do you know that in today’s era, technology makes the world much smaller, referring to Earth as merely a village? Come on, what age is it? Do I really need them to be physically present here?"
As Bai Xiaosheng’s voice fell, a familiar voice to many, including Shen Peishen, echoed forth.
The voice was deep and resonant.
"Shen Peishen, you want witnesses? We will provide you with witnesses!"
Everyone was shocked and simultaneously looked towards the screen that spanned the entire wall.
On the screen, Xiahou Qi sat beamingly, surrounded by dozens of people!
Shen Peishen saw Xiahou Qi looking even healthier than those in good health, and was truly taken aback.
Upon seeing the people around Xiahou Qi, Shen Peishen felt as if he had seen ghosts.
They were all his closest confidants.
No, they used to be his closest confidants, all were key figures in Bai Xiaosheng’s evidence!
Down below, Lin Yu and Cheng Liu’s eyes almost popped out in disbelief.
Both were astoundingly incredulous.
Bai Xiaosheng and Xiahou Qi came prepared, they even managed to gather everyone together!
On that side, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged smiles.
Without preparation, would they dare to come against Shen Peishen?!
"Mr. Xia." On the podium, Mr. Soruns was the first to stand up, smiling warmly at Xiahou Qi on the screen, "It’s been a while, and knowing that you were ill brought me great concern. I thought of visiting you once my work eased. It seems you are doing very well now."
Xiahou Qi oversees the Greater China Region and is more senior than Jiang Kuo and even Mr. Soruns, the previous generation European Region President, who respectfully calls Xiahou Qi ’senior’.
"Mr. Soruns, thank you for your concern." Xiahou Qi replied politely.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, all were formalities.
Others also greeted Xiahou Qi one after another.
After all, Xiahou Qi can be considered a longtime Executive Officer, and those Executive Officers are technically his subordinates.
Both headquarters executives showed politeness and courtesy while greeting Xiahou Qi.
"Well, now that the pleasantries are over, we should talk about business." Xiahou Qi turned his gaze towards Shen Peishen, whose expression alternated unpredictably, and with a stern tone, said, "Shen Peishen, old Shen, I know you are someone who won’t shed tears until you see the coffin! But rest assured, I came prepared!"
"Who wants to start? Everyone gets three or four sentences, be concise." Xiahou Qi said to the people around him.
After a brief hesitation, someone stepped forward.
Not facing Shen Peishen directly, but confronting the image on the screen, the pressure on that individual was not as immense.
Shen Peishen stared at him angrily, but lacking enough intimidation, it was futile.
The person organized his words and spoke loudly, "Leaders of the group, my name is Feng Ziqing, I used to be the Provincial Industry Head in the Greater China Region. In 2010, under Mr. Shen Peishen’s instruction, I misappropriated 150 million in funds through dismantling, exchange loans, and other methods to build external enterprises..."
Feng Ziqing first identified himself, then explained what he had done.
Bai Xiaosheng had just mentioned this matter, and everyone still had a vivid impression!
For a moment, many couldn’t help looking at Shen Peishen.
Shen Peishen’s face turned slightly pale, he shouted, "Fake, it’s fake! This is fake!"
"Mr. Shen!"
A calm voice sounded.
Shen Peishen turned his head, Mr. Soruns smiled at him, "Please don’t interrupt, okay? I invited you to sit here as a courtesy, now, please show me some courtesy too."
If someone else had spoken, even Xiahou Qi, Shen Peishen would not have shown courtesy.
But Mr. Soruns showed great sheltering intention towards him.
With Mr. Soruns speaking, Shen Peishen dared not ignore him.
"Alright." Shen Peishen finally nodded, grudgingly agreeing.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Shen Peishen, indifferent, then looked at Mr. Soruns.
Earlier, before Shen Peishen acted up, Bai Xiaosheng exchanged a glance with Mr. Soruns.
From an outsider’s perspective, Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Soruns seemed somewhat at odds.
Bai Xiaosheng even thought Mr. Soruns was determined to protect Shen Peishen, but later, he detected something different from Mr. Soruns’s expression...
"A business president at headquarters, far from having the power to rule, surrounded by compliance and administrative department executives, would he really brazenly seek benefits in such an occasion?"
At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt this doubt creeping in his mind.
...
Due to the hope Mr. Soruns initially gave Shen Peishen, Shen Peishen dared not oppose his words. This allowed the witnesses on the screen to speak one by one.
Each person’s words were exceptionally concise, yet struck directly at the core point.
It took an hour for the speeches of those dozens of people to conclude.
Mr. Soruns courteously greeted Xiahou Qi, who indicated that the witnesses could attend an investigation at any time.
The communication was then severed.
"Physical evidence, testimonial evidence, we’ve all heard both sides’ statements."
Mr. Soruns turned to the row of people seated beside him, smiling, "The next session is for everyone to express their opinions freely."
"We cannot let a bad person go, nor can we wrongfully accuse a good person."
"Even if Mr. Xiahou Qi personally spoke, do not feel overly pressured."
Mr. Soruns’s words seemed still somewhat biased towards Shen Peishen.
Thus, the original expressions of loud protests and vigorous calls for defense from Shen Peishen turned into, "I totally entrust Mr. Soruns’s judgment!"
Mr. Soruns nodded with a smile.
Mr. Soruns’s demeanor made Shen Peishen feel a bit more at ease, perceiving that Mr. Soruns still intended to help him, also comforting Lin Yu and Cheng Liu below.
On the podium, the Executive Officers remained silent.
It seemed no one wanted to be the first to speak.
"Fang Beijun, why don’t you start? You hail from the Greater China Region, and have been promoted recently, understanding the situation better. So, share your perspectives or suggestions on how to handle this matter." Mr. Soruns invited with a smile.
All eyes instantly fell on Fang Beijun.
To Shen Peishen’s faction, this was a ray of hope.
The first person to speak often invisibly influences the opinions of those who follow.
And Fang Beijun was one of theirs!
Shen Peishen harbored immense "trust" in Fang Beijun, thus focusing attention on others, overlooking the nuances in Fang Beijun’s demeanor.
Even at that moment, Shen Peishen did not notice anything peculiar, because Fang Beijun appeared extraordinarily calm.
"Old Fang, it’s up to you! You were the first to support me, followed by Yu Xingyao, then Chu Ruolan, taking three out of five. With Mr. Soruns intending to do me a favor, I could tide over this crisis!" Shen Peishen looked forward eagerly.
Fang Beijun looked at Mr. Soruns blankly, at his colleagues alongside him, and also at Bai Xiaosheng quietly watching from afar.
Since sitting down, his heart had been in chaos, tortured within himself.
Despite Xiahou Qi bringing witnesses onto the screen, he still felt dazed, doubting Bai Xiaosheng’s victory.
But finally, it was time to make a choice.
Fang Beijun deeply glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, then turned towards Shen Peishen, remained silent for a few seconds, and suddenly revealed a smile.
Seeing he smiled, Shen Peishen relaxed and smiled as well.
"I believe the facts are clear, and the evidence is conclusive."
Fang Beijun sat up straight, spoke each word clearly, and finally announced loudly, "I assert, Shen Peishen is guilty!"
These words were finally spoken!
Fang Beijun’s heart suddenly felt light, inexplicably relieved.
He glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, smiling lightly.
Kid, I finally did the right thing by you!
