Super Strong Little Divine Farmer
Chapter 1296 - 1297: Taking Over Her Heart
"No need to push, I can walk myself," Lin Chen said coldly.
Saying this, Lin Chen shrugged off his shoulders and directly shook the two police officers aside.
"Kid, you're damn finished this time. You're doomed, yet still acting tough. Once you're inside, I'll make you my grandson," Xu Hu taunted coldly.
This time, Xu Hu came with a mission: to ruin Lin Chen, to destroy him.
Lin Chen stopped in his tracks, glanced at Xu Hu behind him, and said, "I didn't do it. As for who's going to be the grandson, let's wait and see."
With that, Lin Chen snorted coldly and strode out.
Xu Hu didn't expect Lin Chen to be so arrogant even at this point, causing his face to turn dark with anger.
Lin Chen looked at Qiao Xue, "Wife, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Then Lin Chen directly got into the police car with the officers.
This incident shocked the entire Qiao Group. After all, a high-level executive of Qiao Group was arrested, and it was rumored to be a heinous case of rape and murder.
Seeing Lin Chen being arrested, Qiao Xue was also flustered and immediately called her friends at the police station, only to find out that the case had severe social implications and was supervised by the Provincial Public Security Department, with no one daring to intervene.
Despite her anxiety, Qiao Xue found herself unable to do anything.
She made several more calls, all of which were met with dead ends without exception.
At this moment, Ai Ying also walked in from outside, "Ms. Qiao, I've pulled as many strings as I could, but Lin Chen is really in big trouble this time."
"Do you believe Lin Chen did this?" Qiao Xue asked.
"I've seen the video. Although the person in it looks like Lin Chen, I have a feeling something's off, and based on what I know about Lin Chen, he wouldn't do such a thing," Ai Ying said.
"I think so too, but now that he's in custody, Lin Chen is certainly going to suffer. I'm just afraid he'll be forced into a confession."
Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door, and the secretary walked in, "Ms. Qiao, President Xu from Xu Group wants to see you."
"Xu Zhiruo, what is she doing here?" Qiao Xue was stunned for a moment.
Before she could finish speaking, a flamboyant woman sashayed in through the door.
The woman had a delicate face, her looks on the same level as Qiao Xue and Ai Ying.
However, Xu Zhiruo's face held a trace of arrogance. She didn't even knock and went straight to the desk, sitting down in the chair.
"Hello, Ms. Qiao. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Xu Zhiruo, the CEO of Xu Group. I'm here to discuss a business deal with Chairman Qiao," Xu Zhiruo said coldly.
"A business deal? What do we have to talk about?" Qiao Xue replied coldly.
In business, the two parties were competitors, and this time Qiao Group had won a decisive victory, while Xu Group ended up in a miserable state, completely ignored by Star Group.
It could be said that Qiao Group now had complete control of the market, while Xu Group's situation was extremely awkward.
For some reason, Qiao Xue had a hunch that Lin Chen's entrapment was related to this mysterious woman.
"Of course, there is something to discuss. I heard your fiancé was just arrested," Xu Zhiruo smiled and said.
"President Xu's information is quite up-to-date. Then tell me, what do we have to discuss?" Qiao Xue smiled faintly.
"I hope Qiao Group can grant us the agency rights for Star Group," Xu Zhiruo said bluntly.
"In exchange for what?" Qiao Xue stared coldly at Xu Zhiruo.
Now she was certain, this was definitely a conspiracy.
Otherwise, how coincidental could it be that just as Lin Chen was arrested, this woman showed up?
"I have my ways to get Lin Chen out, and of course, clear his name," Xu Zhiruo smiled and said.
Qiao Xue's eyes narrowed. It was apparent that the other party intended to use Lin Chen as leverage.
"We've already signed a contract with Star Group. Giving it to you is probably not possible," Qiao Xue snorted coldly.
"Of course it's possible. You are now second-level agents for having taken the contract, so who gets the agency rights is your problem," Xu Zhiruo said confidently, almost as if she had Qiao Xue cornered.
"How can I trust you? What if you refuse to acknowledge the deal after it's done?" Qiao Xue asked.
Xu Zhiruo smiled faintly, "I'm very sincere. This USB drive can prove Lin Chen's innocence."
As she spoke, Xu Zhiruo handed the USB drive to Qiao Xue.
Qiao Xue took the USB drive and hurriedly plugged it into the computer. The video opened, revealing the latter half of the video from the internet.
In the video, after the person humiliates the girl, he runs into another alley, then reaches up to peel off a Human Skin Mask from his face.
"Lin Chen was indeed wronged," Qiao Xue was delighted as she watched the video.
But at that moment, the computer suddenly alerted that the video had been deleted.
Qiao Xue's expression changed, and reopening the USB, it was already empty.
Xu Zhiruo smiled brightly, "I went through a lot to get this video, and only this video can prove Lin Chen's innocence. Otherwise, you'd better prepare for your fiancé to take the fall."
"How much do you want? I can pay for this video," Qiao Xue said.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in money. Now is the time to test your relationship with Lin Chen. I'll give you half a day to consider whether to choose the company or your fiancé," Xu Zhiruo smiled faintly and said.
With that, Xu Zhiruo stood up and continued smiling, "The video of Lin Chen committing rape and murder has already been posted on all major websites, so even if you have strong connections, no one will touch this case. So I advise you to think carefully, for only this video can save Lin Chen. Your fiancé's life is in your hands."
As she spoke, Xu Zhiruo pulled out a gold-plated business card, tossed it on the table, and swaggered out of the office.
Qiao Xue's face looked very gloomy, as she slumped in her chair.
"Ms. Qiao, Xu Zhiruo came here to blackmail us. She probably staged the video herself. We should report this to the police," Ai Ying said angrily.
"Report? How? We don't have anything, just our word?" Qiao Xue said with a bitter smile.
"So what do we do?" Ai Ying asked anxiously.
If they give the agency rights to Xu Group, the company would again face bankruptcy. But if they don't, Lin Chen will surely be framed and might die unjustly.
"Forget it, let's find a way to meet with Lin Chen and hear his opinion. I believe he'll have a solution. If there's truly no other way, we'll give the agency rights to Xu Group. We can't let Lin Chen die unjustly," Qiao Xue said, gritting her teeth, making up her mind.
Ai Ying looked at Qiao Xue in shock. If it were before, she believed Qiao Xue would choose the company without hesitation. But this time, Qiao Xue chose Lin Chen.
Without realizing it, Lin Chen had found a place in Qiao Xue's heart, even capturing this proud, ice-cold female chairman.
