How shameless can Ouyang Duo be? Despite the current circumstances, he still talks about honor. Perhaps the more insidious one is, the more one desires to be seen as honorable.

“I understand, Mr. Ouyang. Since it’s Ms. Ouyang who’s behind the poisoning, the blame obviously cannot fall upon her. I’ll pay someone off to take the fall,” He Lin said.

“Okay, get it done by tomorrow. This person has to be unwavering when confessing to the crime. The police must be convinced,” Ouyang Duo said.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ouyang. It’ll be properly dealt with.”

“Also, keep an eye on the Nan family and inform me if anything crops up.”

“Yes, Mr. Ouyang.”

“Go now. As for these two girls, I’ll deal with them shortly.”

He Lin broke into a smile. “I admire your vigor, Mr. Ouyang.”

At two in the morning, Ouyang Duo’s phone kept flashing beside his bed. Nonetheless, he—with two young ladies in his arms—slept so soundly that he was oblivious to it.

When he finally woke up in the morning and saw more than ten missed calls from Feng Jialing, he immediately returned her call.

“What is it?”

“Why didn’t you pick up your subordinate’s call? The stock of our overseas company was sold short and plunged overnight,” Feng Jialing related.

“What? Sold short?”

“Yes, the subordinate reported that the short selling began two days ago but at a low volume, hence not raising any alarms. They only realized it after a sudden surge of funds last night triggered the drastic fall.”

“How much has it fallen?”

“Cumulatively, thirty percent over the last few days.”

“That’s a lot! Why wasn’t I informed earlier?” Ouyang Duo was filled with anxiety.

“The fall started slow and only picked up pace abruptly last night.”

“I’m about to take over Nanshi Corporation, and yet, they want to sell my company short? Once news of my acquisition is announced, the stock price will skyrocket and cause them devastating losses! Don’t worry. This issue will be resolved very soon,” Ouyang Duo replied.

“All right, then. I’ll wait for your news.”

Upon ending the call, Ouyang Duo washed up, ordered room service, and left the hotel once he had eaten.

Meanwhile, the efficient He Lin had already found a scapegoat—an honest-looking middle-aged man.

The man’s demands were reasonable. All he wanted was six hundred thousand to take on the role.

Without questioning the man in detail, Ouyang Duo delivered him to the Nan residence.

Nan Zhengde, who was practicing Tai Chi, was surprised to see Ouyang Duo arriving so early.

As for the latter, he, too, didn’t expect Nan Zhengde to be in the mood for Tai Chi.

“Mr. Nan, now that I’ve brought you the man responsible, please be prepared to come to the press conference with me. All the reporters have been notified and it will begin at two in the afternoon,” Ouyang Duo said.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I’m not. Instead, I’m feeling anxious on your behalf. You have to resolve the matter as soon as possible and leave before you end up becoming the laughingstock of Flower City.”

“Let me see the man.”

The scapegoat He Lin had found was brought forward with his hands bound.

Naturally, Ouyang Duo hoped that rage would drive Nan Zhengde to have the man beaten to death. That way, there would be no witnesses left, and the Nan family would end up digging a deeper hole for themselves.

Evidently, Nan Zhengde was anything but impulsive.

“Was it you who poisoned my great-granddaughter?”

“Yes,” the man answered.

“Why did you do it?”

Unfortunately, an answer wasn’t forthcoming.

“Mr. Nan, since he has admitted to the crime, there’s no need to figure out his motive. Just hand him over to the police, and they’ll deal with him accordingly,” Ouyang Duo said.

“You’re right. The motive isn’t important. Anyway, I’ll keep him here and think about how I’m going to deal with him. You should make the necessary arrangements for the press conference. I’ll be there with Nan Xing in the afternoon,” Nan Zhengde replied.

“All right. It’s settled, then. I’ll see you later,” Ouyang Duo agreed.
