Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 509: Falsely Accused?

Chen Yiyang was on the phone, paying no attention to the two people.

He casually gestured for them to stand a little farther away to avoid overhearing anything they shouldn’t.

One woman, who was in her forties, looked displeased with Chen Yiyang’s attitude and immediately reached out to try to push him.

Chen Yiyang didn’t hold back and knocked her hand away with his arm, continuing his phone call.

The call was from the head of his company’s film distribution department.

Chen Yiyang had previously bought the domestic broadcast rights for a movie from an Indian, and now it was ready to be released in theaters.

So the manager was calling to report on the progress.

Although Chen Yiyang didn’t care too much about such trivial matters, he couldn’t disregard major issues; having subordinates report to him like this was a power he couldn’t relinquish, or he might easily be kept in the dark later.

After he finished the call, he found those two women had brought several security guards with them.

"Sir, could you please come with us?" One of the security guards, dressed in a suit, asked Chen Yiyang.

"Who are you? Why should I go with you?" Chen Yiyang immediately frowned.

"We are the hotel security. These two ladies just complained you harassed them, so to clarify what happened, I suggest you come with me."

Are you kidding me?

Chen Yiyang never expected to be falsely accused like this.

He immediately replied, "Can’t you just check the surveillance to see if that happened?"

"I’m sorry, but due to privacy concerns, there’s no surveillance installed in this hallway."

High-end hotels often have clientele who are either rich or distinguished, so some passageways don’t have surveillance to protect guests’ privacy.

This includes the corridor used to enter and exit the lobby.

Chen Yiyang didn’t expect to run into such an issue either.

But he knew he absolutely couldn’t leave with the security guards, or the situation would become even harder to clarify.

So he immediately said, "Wait a moment, I’ll call my assistant to handle some things."

Chen Yiyang immediately picked up the phone.

The hotel’s security had been well-trained, knowing their limits, and didn’t dare lay a finger on Chen Yiyang.

But those two women behind the security guards rushed over.

"Oh, still daring to call someone, huh? I’ll tell you now, we’re calling the police, and you can explain yourself to them then."

"Miss Hou, please calm down," the security guard quickly advised the leading woman in her forties, preventing her from clashing with Chen Yiyang.

What the hell is this?

Chen Yiyang first called his assistant and then dialed Hou Liang to have him contact the hotel manager to find out where these two women came from.

Although in Huaxia, Chen Yiyang still employed two trustworthy bodyguards on a long-term basis.

At that moment, both the assistant and bodyguards were waiting outside the hotel for Chen Yiyang to come out.

After receiving the call, the assistant immediately brought the two bodyguards into the hotel.

Meanwhile, Hou Liang was so frightened upon hearing about the incident that he immediately brought the hotel manager over.

Soon, that small corridor was crowded with people.

"Mr. Chen, should I take you away first?" Hou Liang came over and suggested apologetically.

He initially thought Chen Yiyang was the type who appeared innocuous but actually played around with young celebrity women in private, harassing them.

But upon seeing the age and appearance of those two women, he realized he had misunderstood Chen Yiyang.

He feared more people would come, causing unnecessary misunderstandings and inconveniences to Chen Yiyang.

"No need." Chen Yiyang intended to resolve the matter clearly before leaving; otherwise, it would be a mess that couldn’t be explained away, like mud soaking through pants.

Why, in such a nice hotel, wouldn’t they have surveillance?

At this moment, the hotel manager also came over.

"Manager Qiao, what’s going on here?" Hou Liang asked the hotel manager with wide eyes.

He was on good terms with the hotel’s owner, which is why he chose this place for the celebration party; he hadn’t expected such an incident.

"Did you let unrelated obsessed fans in?" Hou Liang immediately speculated that these two women might be obsessive fans of some celebrity trying to sneak in to get autographs, mistakenly thinking Chen Yiyang was some minor figure to extort.

"This situation is a bit tricky." Manager Qiao looked seriously at both Chen Yiyang and Hou Liang.

He quietly said, "One of those women is Ms. Hou Lifu, who recently took over the company Big Laugh, and she’s the one claiming Mr. Chen harassed her.

She’s already called the police, and they’re on their way, so I can’t resolve this matter."

Big Laugh is a well-known domestic beverage company valued at hundreds of billions.

The previous chairman was a famous private entrepreneur; after his death, the company was inherited by his daughter.

After this respected businessman died, there was a wave of public nostalgia because the internet claimed he was of high moral standing, frugal, spending only fifty thousand a year, and having only one daughter.

It now seems clear that the person who slandered Chen Yiyang just now was his daughter, Hou Lifu.

Her name doesn’t sound like she’s from Huaxia.

Although Chen Yiyang is a young billionaire,

But Ms. Hou Lifu’s wealth isn’t modest either.

Honestly, in all his years running a hotel, Manager Qiao had never seen one billionaire accusing another billionaire of harassment before.

This scene was new to him.

So he didn’t dare make any decisions, just waiting for the police to arrive.

Upon learning the other party’s identity, Chen Yiyang was also at a loss.

Damn, what kind of nonsense is this?

Now that both parties’ identities were confirmed, neither the spectating security guards nor Hou Liang and the others dared to speak.

Both sides were people they couldn’t afford to offend.

However, Hou Liang and the others clearly favored Chen Yiyang.

Through Manager Qiao, they also figured out why Ms. Hou Lifu was there.

Because Ms. Hou’s father had passed, she wanted to commission a production company to create a biographical film in her father’s memory.

Coincidentally, Minning Town had become very popular, so she wanted to ask Afternoon Sunshine for help in making it.

A hotel manager mentioned to Hou Lifu that Afternoon Sunshine was hosting a celebration banquet there.

So Hou Lifu and her assistant came directly to the hotel, without notice, intending to find someone in the lobby.

When she questioned Chen Yiyang, he ignored her, and somehow this triggered her, leading her to make a false claim against him.

Soon, the police arrived, and after understanding both parties’ identities and the situation’s ins and outs, they didn’t dare take either of them to the police station.

If somebody snapped a picture along the way and it hit the news,

the public uproar would be beyond anyone’s control.
