247 Pushing into the Fire Pit
Tang Li revealed an innocent expression and pursed her lips. “President Shan, why did you say that? If you don’t have evidence, don’t casually slander others. Be careful not to bite your tongue.”
Shan Yue looked at Tang Li’s stubborn expression and a smile appeared on her lips. She leaned slightly into Tang Li’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’ve always had a question in my heart. Are the firearms sold by President Tang more expensive or cheaper than President Sun’s legitimate channels? How can they attract so many big customers? It shouldn’t be just because of President Tang’s personal charm, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, even someone as calm as Tang Li could not help but show an obvious panic on her face. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “You… What firearms are you talking about? Why don’t I understand what you mean at all?”
“Oh? Don’t you understand what I’m saying, President Tang?” The evil smile on Shan Yue’s lips deepened. “Then do you need me to carefully help President Tang recall, or do you want me to tell everyone and let everyone discuss the authenticity of this matter to see if I’m framing you?”
“No need.” Tang Li’s voice was clearly trembling. Even her words became intermittent. “President Shan, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll settle it myself.”
“In that case, if there’s anything you need my help with, you must ask. After all, we’re all friends.” With that, Shan Yue left with a very intriguing expression.
Tang Li, who was left behind, held the phone in her hand tightly. Her teeth were clenched tightly under her closed lips. When Tang Li finally managed to hold on until the banquet ended, she hurriedly returned to the office with her assistant.
“Hurry up and inform everyone that all transactions have been suspended recently. Tell all the transportation and ports to rest for a while.” Tang Li was not blinded by panic and tried to hide everything she had done. “Other than the two of us and the trading party, no one else knows about this. Even the person loading and unloading the goods doesn’t know what’s in the box. How can Shan Yue know about this?”
Tang Li turned to her assistant with a strange gaze. Of course, her assistant, who had been with Tang Li for many years, knew what she was thinking now. She quickly said, “President Tang, I’ve done so much for you. It’s impossible for me to betray you. I’m also involved in this matter. If I tell Shan Yue, won’t I be pushing myself into a fire pit?”
On second thought, Tang Li thought that what her assistant said made sense. “No matter how this news leaked, it can’t change the fact that Shan Yue knows about this. She will definitely take action. The only thing we can do now is to destroy all the evidence against us. Put down everything on hand immediately and start to solve the firearms problem first. You have to be watertight and not leave any traces.”
“Understood, President Tang. I’ll stop all business dealings now.”
After the assistant went out, Tang Li fell into deep thought again. She had been smuggling firearms for almost two years and had always done it flawlessly. No one had ever discovered any traces. It was also because of this that the Tang Corporation could catch up to the Zhou family in just two years.
Because of Shan Yue’s sudden appearance, her plan to frame Zhou Xuan by hiring someone to kill him was exposed. Shan Yue also took the opportunity to snatch the Las Vegas project from her, causing the company to be unable to further develop overseas. At this moment, she suddenly appeared to hinder her arms business.
At the thought that everything that had happened during this period of time was because of Shan Yue, Tang Li could not help but clench her fists.
At the same time, Shan Yue was not idle. She knew that Tang Li would immediately take precautions when she returned. As Tang Xia did not know about the smuggling of firearms, Shan Yue drove to Tang Xia’s house first.
Due to the rapid spread of Shan Yue’s reputation, Tang Xia naturally knew her name. In the face of her sudden visit, although Tang Xia did not know what she meant, he could only come out to welcome her.
