The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 256 Scapegoat

256 Scapegoat

“Is Shan Yue crazy? Twenty percent of the Tang Corporation’s shares and fifty billion yuan in exchange for a photo?” Tang Li’s voice gradually became louder, her words filled with hostility. “You didn’t agree to her request, right?”

“Of course not. I used a stalling tactic to stabilize her first, but it won’t drag on for long. She will definitely come and ask me in a few days.” The usually calm Tang Xia’s voice was clearly filled with worry. “If we can’t find a solution in the next few days, she will definitely sue you. In order to prevent you from going to jail, we have no choice but to agree.”

A glint flashed across Tang Li’s eyes, and a thought immediately appeared in her mind. “I’ve already found the solution I want. She only has a photo with my personal seal in her hand. Then, as long as someone takes the blame for me in court, say that she was blinded by benefits and stole my seal, committing a series of smuggling incidents. I’m completely unaware of this. This way, I can get rid of my suspicion.”

Tang Xia’s eyes narrowed. “This method makes sense, but who are you going to find to take the blame for you? Who can enter your office so easily and steal the seal?”

“I’ve already thought of a countermeasure for this just now. Didn’t Shan Yue want to use this to threaten us? If she wants to obtain the shares of the Tang Corporation, I definitely can’t let her have her way.” Tang Li’s lips were filled with sarcasm. “As for this candidate, of course, my a.s.sistant is the most suitable.”

“Can she say yes? She’s risking jail time.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” A faint smile appeared on Tang Li’s lips. “You’re in charge of buying off the judge of the Federal Court. If there’s really a lawsuit, let him minimize the sentence, and let the a.s.sistant stay in there for a few years. We’ll be in charge of giving her family enough money. We’ll let her leave as soon as she’s released from prison and she won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life.”

Tang Xia’s long and narrow eyes dimmed. He slowly walked to the window and looked out. “If you’re confident, do as you say. At least this way, you can protect the Tang family’s a.s.sets and ensure that you won’t suffer. As long as we survive this crisis, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with Shan Yue in the future.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. I’ll make Shan Yue pay for it in blood in the future.”

With that, Tang Li walked out of the room and casually called for her a.s.sistant. The two of them found an empty place at home. Tang Li organized her words in her heart and began her initial plan.

“Actually, you should be able to roughly guess it. Father called me back this time to ask me about the company’s smuggling.” Tang Li frowned, looking a little deep. “During our conversation just now, I’ve already revealed everything to Father. He already knows everything we’ve done, but he hasn’t completely blamed us.”

Upon hearing this, the a.s.sistant’s expression relaxed slightly. “President Tang, it’s naturally a good thing that Old Master didn’t blame us. We won’t be punished by our family, but what should we do next?”

“Father isn’t angry because there’s another very important reason.” Tang Li’s eyes became sharp, filled with hatred for Shan Yue. “Because Shan Yue has already come to the house and brought a transaction record with my personal seal. It was when we were discussing the contract outside that we used my own seal in a hurry. Now, Shan Yue is threatening to use the Tang Corporation’s shares and money to settle this matter, but Father and I don’t want her to succeed so easily.”

“Then what should we do, President Tang?” The a.s.sistant did not understand the hidden meaning in Tang Li’s words at all. “Could it be that you and Master already have another better solution?”

“There is, but we need someone to take the initiative to take the blame for the company…”

After thinking for a few seconds, Tang Li still said this method resolutely because she knew that she could not go to jail. If that happened, the Tang Corporation would really be finished.

The a.s.sistant instinctively took a few steps back, disbelief written all over his face. “President… President Tang, could the person you’re talking about be me?”
