I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 766: After All, It is a Miscarriage of Justice

"I'm telling you, no matter what, the first thing we must do is to get Ye Chen bailed out as soon as possible. Only if he is released on bail can we have a chance to negotiate further."

"Okay, I understand. I will bring up this request later. As far as the criminal responsibility he's facing, it shouldn't be too severe."

"I've told you, this matter can be big or small. I'm worried that someone behind the scenes is manipulating the situation. If someone is deliberately controlling this, then even if we find a team of lawyers, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as reaching the heavens."

"What? Our team is so powerful, can't we even change this little matter? Haven't we faced all sorts of situations before?"

"That's not what I mean. I've always suspected that someone did this on purpose. How could it be possible that so many people suddenly start attacking the company and then online public opinion begins to ferment rapidly? In just one hour, this matter reached its climax."

"Are you saying someone is behind it?"

"Yes, someone is definitely behind it. It's not just because Ye Chen offended someone outside, but more importantly, I suspect that he has touched the interests of some people within the company."

"This morning at the board meeting, we've already discussed this. I know all the directors are indeed angry. After all, they lost millions in just one morning, but that's temporary, right? I've already explained it to them."

"Do you really think it's just a matter of how much money was lost? I'm telling you, the root problem isn't about losing that money."

"Oh? Then what is it? If not that, then why are they insisting on kicking Ye Chen out?"

"It's because someone is sabotaging from within and fanning the flames. This person must be the one Ye Sheng mentioned before, the one causing ghosts incidents behind the scenes, right?"

"Are you saying it's still related to that ghost incident?"

"Think about it. In the beginning, even though we hired many people, including experts from various fields, none could make a breakthrough. But Ye Chen came here and settled everything in just two days. Don't you think someone won't be able to swallow this pride?"

"So you mean to say, by fixing the issue, he also blocked the path for those people, and therefore, they don't want Ye Chen to continue here because as long as Ye Chen is here, they can't proceed with their plans."

"Exactly, that's what I mean. This is what I'm worried about, someone manipulating the situation from behind. If they succeed, we won't be able to save Ye Chen."

"But Grandpa, have you ever thought about it? Ye Chen is, after all, wronged."

"How can you say he's wronged? I'm telling you, his act of hitting someone has become an established fact. Moreover, Ye Chen has already admitted to this in front of the news media. What else is necessary?"

"But all of this, isn't it someone pulling the strings in secret?"

"Yes, we know it's being manipulated in secret, but what can we do about it? Legally speaking, Ye Chen has already breached the law, can you understand that?"

"Grandpa, so what should we do now?"

"I'm not sure, I can only try everything to deal with this situation. By the way, did we find out who the leader of the attackers is?"

"I'm not sure, but I've arranged for an investigation. From the way Brother Ye Chen looks, I guess he probably knows what's going on."

"Alright, don't bother with the company team for now. I will find someone from outside and personally handle the bail procedures for him. Even if a conviction is necessary, with our capabilities, getting him temporarily bailed out shouldn't be a big issue."

"Grandpa, are you saying you don't want me to get involved in this matter?"

"Right now, you are a sensitive figure, and it's a sensitive time too. Why didn't you consult with me before you asked Mr. Li to come out this morning?"

Guo Tao's voice on the phone seemed filled with self-reproach.

"Grandpa, I know that it was my mistake and, at that time, I really didn't know what to do. If I hadn't asked Mr. Li to come out of retirement, do you know what the outcome would have been today?"

"I know, isn't it that they intended to band together to kick Ye Chen out of the board and even out of the company?"

"Yes, Brother Ye Chen just joined, and I really don't want to see this happen. Plus, Grandpa, it was you who managed to bring Brother Ye Chen in. If he is kicked out now, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

"You are still young and quite inexperienced. Let me tell you, if the company wants to fire a mid-level executive, it's not just about all directors uniting to do so."

"What do you mean? They have already voted and approved. Why can't they kick him out?"

"Let me tell you, for it to take effect, a series of procedures must be followed. Do you really think I would sit by and watch and let things continue to develop here?"

"Are you saying that even though they've agreed on the surface, in the end, Brother Ye Chen will still be unable to leave?"

"That's right, that's how it is. Their actions today were actually meant to intimidate you, but they probably never dreamed that you would invite Mr. Li out."

"Grandpa, after I invited Mr. Li over, you know what? I was ready to use that veto right, but if it weren't for Mr. Li and Ye Chen stopping me, I might have really used it."

"That veto right is not something you can use casually. You have to understand, once you use it, there is a price to pay. Have you not thought about all of this?"
