Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 296

Inside the conference room of the Carlton Hotel, crystal chandeliers reflected a cold light.

Reporters from all walks of life had already set up their cameras, their long lenses and microphones aimed at the podium, and a tense, oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

Shen Yunzhong, dressed in a well-tailored dark gray suit with his tie neatly tied, stood to the side of the stage, frowning and checking the time from time to time, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"The press conference will begin in five minutes,"

He turned to Liu Jinnian beside him and said,

"Where are the people from the Qin Dynasty?"

Liu Jinnian said in a low voice,

"The public relations department tried to contact him all day, but he didn't answer his phone."

Shen Yunzhong chuckled.

"It seems he's scared and doesn't dare to come."

At this moment, Liu Jinnian's gaze swept across the venue, and he suddenly paused—the door to the conference hall was pushed open, and Yan Lan walked in alone.

She wore a simple black suit dress today, her long hair was tied up, revealing a slightly pale face.

There were faint dark circles under her eyes, suggesting she hadn't slept all night, but her back was ramrod straight and her gaze was resolute.

Seeing this, Shen Yunzhong's smile deepened, and he strode forward, deliberately raising his voice.

"General Manager Yan, why are you alone? Where's Qin Shi? Could it be... that he deserted and became a deserter?"

Shen Yunzhong's voice was loud and echoed in the conference room, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Lan.

Yan Lan raised her eyes and gave Shen Yunzhong a cold glance.

"Mr. Shen, please refrain from slandering others without any concrete evidence."

Shen Yunzhong sneered.

"Evidence? The entire internet is full of evidence! Miss Yuriko herself accused Qin Shi of drugging her with malicious intent. Isn't that evidence?"

What a misfortune for my family! How could I have raised such a disobedient son?

Yan Lan's fingertips tightened slightly, but her expression remained calm.

"I believe in my husband's innocence."

"Ha," Shen Yunzhong scoffed, "If I'd known you'd be so protective of your own, I shouldn't have entrusted the COCO project to you in the first place! Now look what's happened—the cooperation between Qin's and COCO has completely collapsed, the stock price has plummeted, who's going to bear the losses?"

Yan Lan looked directly at him.

"Mr. Shen, you seem to be hoping for something to happen to the Qin family?"

I'm starting to doubt if he's even your biological son.

Shen Yunzhong's face stiffened, and he was about to retort when suddenly, a commotion arose at the entrance of the venue.

Yuriko walked in with a group of reporters.

She wore a pure white kimono today, with exquisite makeup and bright red lips, but her eyes revealed an aggressive sharpness.

As soon as she entered the room, her gaze locked onto Yan Lan, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"General Manager Yan,"

Yuriko approached in her high heels, her voice carrying a deliberate hint of pity.

"Where's Qin Shi? Could he have hidden himself in fear?"

Yan Lan looked at her coldly, "Ms. Yuriko, please watch your words."

Yuriko chuckled softly, turned to face the reporters, and her voice suddenly rose.

"Friends from the media, I'm here today to expose Qin Shi's true colors! He not only drugged me, but also tried to use his power to oppress me! Such a person is completely unfit to be the heir to the Qin family!"

The reporters instantly erupted in excitement, their flashbulbs going off like crazy, and questions rained down on Yan Lan like cannonballs.

"Director Yan, did Qin Shi really drug Ms. Yuriko?"

Where is Qin Shi now? Has he already fled?

Will the Qin family completely lose their cooperation with COCO because of this incident?

Yan Lan was forced to take a step back, her face turning slightly pale, but her eyes remained firm.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control—"Smack!"

Suddenly, a piercing static crackled from the conference room's sound system, followed immediately by a clear conversation coming through the loudspeaker—

"Qin Shi, if you're willing to serve me for one night..."

"Ms. Yuriko, please show some respect."

Yuriko's face turned deathly pale instantly!

"This...this is fake!" she shrieked. "Someone forged the recording!"

However, before she could finish speaking, the large screen in the conference room suddenly lit up, and a series of videos began to play—

In the video, Yuriko is seen with her arm around the waist of a young male model, forcing him to drink a glass of wine.

In another video, she coldly pours a packet of white powder into a glass of wine and hands it to a trembling boy...

The room erupted in uproar!

"Yuriko, these aren't synthetic materials either, are they?"

A deep, cold voice came from the back of the venue.

Everyone turned around—

Qin Shi, dressed in a black suit, walked in with a cold and stern expression and steady steps.

Behind him followed several handsome, pale-faced young men, the male models who had been bullied by Yuriko in the video.

“Ms. Yuriko,” Qin Shi’s voice was icy, “how do you explain all this?”

Yuriko staggered backward, her face deathly pale.

"You're talking nonsense! This is all fake!"

"Fake?" Qin Shi sneered, gesturing for the male models behind him to step forward. "And what about them? Are they fake too?"

One of the male models stepped forward, trembling, his voice choked with emotion: "Yuriko has been controlling us with a new type of poison for a long time, forcing us..."

Yuriko finally broke down, screamed, and turned to run away.

However, the police, who had been waiting for a long time, blocked her way.

“Ms. Yuriko,” the lead officer showed her an arrest warrant, “you are suspected of illegal detention and forcing others to take drugs, violating our country’s laws. Please come with us.”

Yuriko struggled frantically, her makeup ruined, and all traces of her elegant and noble demeanor vanished.

Shen Yunzhong stood to the side, his face ashen, his fingers clenched tightly.

Yan Lan glanced at him coldly, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "President Shen, it seems... your plan has failed."

Shen Yun gritted his teeth,

"Yan Lan, don't be so smug!"

Even if Qin Shi's crimes are cleared, your collaborative project with Coco still failed.

And those top international brands that broke their cooperation agreements with us,

It is estimated that the losses suffered by our Qin family's various shopping malls due to the withdrawal of their stores this time are extremely heavy.

As the group's general manager, you bear undeniable responsibility for this loss.

As he spoke, a cold smile, like that of a venomous snake, appeared on Shen Yunzhong's lips.

Yuriko, that stupid woman, is indeed useless.

"responsibility?

What responsibility can Yan Lan bear?

You are the one who should be held most responsible.

As Qin Shi spoke, he suddenly announced loudly to the reporters around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the video that was just played has not finished playing yet."

As he spoke, Qin Shi also released the data he had obtained from the internal documents of the Coco Group.

When Shen Yunzhong saw the relevant information, his face turned extremely ugly. He never imagined that Qin Shi, the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) son who was useless in his eyes, would be able to obtain the internal information of the Coco Group.
