Chapter 1158: Chapter 1185: Whimpering and Sniveling

"Why are you apologizing to me? I should be the one apologizing to you."

Chu Zhan looked at Shi Nuan, his gaze quiet and deep, raised his hand to touch Shi Nuan’s face through the glass, and said in a low voice, "I’m sorry, Nuannuan, for promising to register our marriage and give you a home, but I might not be able to do that for now."

Shi Nuan’s voice choked lightly, "Don’t say that, it’s all my fault."

"This has nothing to do with you." Chu Zhan comforted her, then angrily cursed under his breath, "That conniving bastard Lu Xingshen, I didn’t expect him to resort to such means to stop our marriage. Nuannuan, promise me you won’t go looking for Lu Xingshen, don’t agree to any of his conditions!"

Nianyang couldn’t help but chime in, "Come on, come on, you two stop this crying, things haven’t reached the worst point yet, big brother, I’ll get you out."

Chu Zhan curled his lips into a bitter smile, "Sis, it’s not that I’m being pessimistic, it’s that Lu Xingshen somehow found my company’s ledger. It shows my signature, and with this solid evidence, they can call black white. I can’t think of any other solution."

"Ledger?" Nianyang frowned slightly, "Your signature, are you sure it’s yours?"

"It’s mine." Chu Zhan clenched his fist, rubbing it gently on his knee, "But I never did anything like that. Every year, the company funds are clean and clear.

I only sign off when handing over, confirm the money, and then let the accountant deposit it into the main account. I have no idea how that ledger came about."

Nianyang’s eyes suddenly brightened, "It’s the accountant. When the money is transferred, it has to go through the company’s accountant. Only the accountant can manipulate it."

"I also thought of the accountant, but sent staff to ask, the accountant claims ignorance. Plus, when the money is transferred, it first goes through the jurisdiction of the courts, what can the accountant stir up in there?"

"Are you stupid, big brother!" Nianyang forcefully slapped the table, gritting her teeth, "Lu Xingshen definitely bribed your company’s accountant. Only the accountant can get your payment signature, playing both sides, that’s why you got trapped so tightly."

Chu Zhan felt enlightened, "Right, why didn’t I think of that, but even if it’s the accountant, we have no evidence. If the other side doesn’t acknowledge it, what can we do?"

Nianyang thought for a moment and said, "If Lu Xingshen bribed your company’s accountant, he would definitely offer them benefits. As long as we find the source evidence, we can vindicate you."

"But it’s too late, sis." Chu Zhan spoke with his head down, "Since this incident surfaced, the company stock has been falling. If it falls to zero, the company will collapse. They only gave me a week, if I can’t overturn everything in a week, I will..."

Nianyang’s gaze was firm, "A week is enough, big brother, stay here, eat well, drink well, sleep well, I will definitely get you out."

"Sis, don’t go up against Lu Xingshen." Chu Zhan said urgently, "He’s too cunning. Right now, his target is me, if you anger him, who knows if he will attack your Tongxin Hall. You’re a doctor, your reputation is more important than anything."

"Don’t worry, bro, I have my ways." Nianyang’s eyes flickered with coldness, "Does Lu Xingshen really think he can block out the sky with his palm? He may be all that, but my connections can counter ten of him."
