I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 765 Legendary Figure

"One time, it was precious, but from the tone of those people just now, it seemed like the matter was quite serious."

"Indeed, having veto power is indeed significant, but utilizing it also means that there are some costs involved."

"Costs? What costs? Does it require sacrificing one's own shares?"

"It's not about shares. Our company stipulates that the term for each president is five years, and no one has the right to dismiss the president within these five years. However, once the veto is used, this five-year privilege is forfeited, meaning, the dismissal could happen anytime for various reasons."

"So it's essentially trading one's position for veto power?"

"Not necessarily, because dismissing a president must adhere to strict guidelines. Meaning, once I use the veto, I have to be extremely cautious during my remaining term. I absolutely cannot give anyone any leverage against me; otherwise, my position would be untenable. That's the situation."

Hearing Guo Hongyu describing this to himself, Ye Chen felt that Guo Hongyu had made a considerable sacrifice.

So, in the time to come, Ye Chen must help Guo Hongyu take good care of some matters.

"But I have also prepared myself thoroughly. That's why I had Mr. Li come out of retirement because I know his words carry more weight than anyone's. Once he speaks, no one refuses, including Grandfather."

"Who exactly is this person, so influential?"

"Let me put it this way, without Mr. Li, there wouldn't be this company. Understand? But actually, Mr. Li had already retired ten years ago. If it wasn't for an urgent matter, I wouldn't have asked him to come out of retirement, but it seems that everything has been managed now."

"Thank you, Hongyu. Really, thank you very much."

"Ah, Brother Ye Chen what are you saying? You've done so much for the Guo Family, how could I not help you? Regardless of your reasons, I will surely assist you."

Ye Chen remained silent, as he didn't know how to respond to that. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Just then, Guo Hongyu's phone suddenly rang, he glanced at it.

"Brother Ye Chen, please hold on, hello, yes, it's me, what? Are you sure? Okay, I understand, notify the legal team, come to me immediately, okay."

After he finished speaking, Guo Hongyu sighed and then looked helplessly up at Ye Chen.

"It's as if speaking of the devil, they've come knocking."

"Who?"

"Who do you think? This matter has already blown up online, you hurt so many people, did you think it would go unnoticed? So, obviously, an investigation is necessary."

Guo Hongyu didn't need to explain further as Ye Chen nearly understood.

He was just about to speak when he saw the conference room door being pushed open, and several uniformed individuals entered.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, knowing that what was expected had finally arrived.

"May I ask, who is Ye Chen?"

"Oh, it's me."

"Hello, this is my ID, you are suspected of assault, please come with us to assist with the investigation."

"Okay, no problem, President Guo, please inform Anying that I'm fine."

"You go ahead, I'll arrange the legal team to meet with you as soon as possible, there won't be any issues, and you'll be out soon. I'll make sure of it."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile and then turned to follow these people out.

Ye Chen remained silent; he knew all this was eventually bound to happen.

But before, when such matters hadn't blown up, they were generally kept highly confidential. Even if they occurred, they were definitely not disclosed publicly.

But now, given the circumstances, keeping this matter confidential was practically as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After all, the opposing party had already complicated matters significantly, along with some media buzz and online fermentation.

If true, not proceeding with an official investigation might leave the public without a proper resolution.

After Ye Chen left, Guo Hongyu hurriedly returned to his office.

He knew the situation was severe and that if he truly wished to rescue Ye Chen, probably only Guo Tao could accomplish this.

It's not to say that one should rely on Guo Tao for everything; now Guo Hongyu believed he must inform Grandfather, as it was a matter of great and severe importance.

The phone only rang a few times before Guo Tao answered.

Actually, Guo Tao had already heard about this morning's incident, but he hadn't had the chance to discuss and explain it to Guo Hongyu. Now, he had proactively made the call.

However, regarding Ye Chen suddenly being taken away for investigation, he hadn't anticipated this before, nor had he ever imagined the situation would escalate to such a point today.

"Hongyu, I was about to call you. Do you have any plans tonight? If not, hurry back home. I know there's been some issues in the company, so I thought I'd hear your explanation."

"Grandfather, I don't think I can come back tonight, and things have changed here. Just two minutes ago, Brother Ye Chen was taken away for investigation."

"What? Taken away? Has it become a case for investigation?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Tao immediately became anxious over the phone.

Everyone knows what it means once a case is officially opened.

Normally, public fights are quite common law and order incidents.

Hurting one or two people usually wouldn't cause too much uproar, and even if sentenced, the punishment wouldn't be severe.

But now, he had injured almost 20 people, and from the looks of it, some might have sustained more than minor injuries.

If it proceeds with this standard, it would fall under criminal law. If so, wouldn't Ye Chen's life be utterly ruined?

"Currently, there hasn't been an official case opened yet, it's still just an investigation and evidence collection phase. He just got taken away, and I've already discussed with our company's legal team, who are heading over now for an emergency briefing."
