Chapter 635 Central Figure
Is this the end of the press conference? But the man in the wheelchair hasn’t spoken yet. He’s the main character! How can he not say anything?
“Sir Chen, did you plan this? Why wasn’t there any news of your kidnapping?” “Sir Chen, please say something.”
The reporters looked at Nan Chen anxiously, hoping to hear a few words from him. Nan Chen was also aware that the reporters were waiting for him to speak.
“Assistant Jiang has already spoken on my behalf. It’s an unfortunate incident. My daughter was poisoned by Ouyang Qing, which affected her health, so I traveled to the Xinan region to find a cure for her. During the trip, someone orchestrated a car accident that caused my leg injury. But it’s nothing serious. I will make a full recovery soon, and my work at the company won’t be affected,” Nan Chen said.
“However, we saw Mr. Ouyang speaking with Nan Xing in the video. Is that you or your brother?” a reporter asked.
“Yeah! We heard that Nan Xing’s leg was also injured. Did both of you injure your legs? Or is one of you faking your injury?”
Nan Chen did not provide them with the details.
“Nan Xing is my brother. He represents me, so it doesn’t matter if it’s him or me. Both of us represent the Nan family, and our words hold the same weight. It will always be this way!”
What Nan Chen meant was clear. Both Nan Xing and him were from the Nan family, and they would always be looking out for the family’s best interests. There was no question about that.
“So Mr. Chen, what do you plan to do next?” another reporter asked.
“As for the next steps, we will leave it to the police and legal authorities. I will give them my full cooperation until the case is concluded. As for the company’s matters, I’ve already mentioned them earlier. Nanshi Corporation is doing fine, and we will continue to operate smoothly and look out for the interests of our shareholders and employees. At the same time, we will also be engaging in corporate social responsibility initiatives and doing our part for the city’s economic and social development!”
With that, Nan Chen ended his speech. He did not intend to share anything more than that.
“All right. This will be the end of today’s press conference. We would like to thank all of you for your attendance. As for how the case progresses, please look out for the police’s announcements. Nanshi Corporation will not be making any more statements relating to this. Thank you, everyone,” Jiang Zhe said.
The reporters were not satisfied. However, since Jiang Zhe had announced the end of the press conference, there was nothing they could do about it.
Nevertheless, they thought it was worth it to be able to witness the battle of the two major families of the province, which was considered a historical moment.
Later in the evening, at the insistence of Ouyang Duo, Nan Chen agreed to meet him at the police station.
After his aggressive episode earlier, Ouyang Duo had finally calmed down. After all, he was considered a big gun in the business arena and not just some ordinary loafer.
He was aware that he had lost once again, and it was a complete defeat.
As he had committed a crime in Flower City and was arrested in Flower City, it was almost impossible for him to be deported back to Pearl City.
His wide network in Pearl City wouldn’t be of any use to him. Even if he managed to pull some strings in Flower City, given the influence of the Nan family there, it would hardly be useful.
Ouyang Duo had fallen into his own trap and had absolutely no way of escaping.
Just when he thought that the Nan family was under his control and that he was about to climb to the top, he started to lose his mind and acted hysterically, losing his ability to judge.
Usually, after a period of insanity, destruction would follow.
Right before the point of destruction, Ouyang Duo’s rationality returned. He realized that there was only one person who could help him get out of his current situation and avoid jail time, and that person was Nan Chen.
Nan Chen was the central figure in that matter.
Not only was he in control of Nanshi Corporation’s fate, but Ouyang Duo’s destiny was also in his hands.
Nan Chen entered the room slowly in his wheelchair, looking calm and aloof.
“When did you return to Flower City? It was you who was at Orchid Club that day and not Nan Xing, was it?”
Ouyang Duo was eager to find out how he had met his downfall.
“Take a guess,” Nan Chen answered coldly.
“I knew that something was wrong. I was too careless. Ouyang Qing said that Nan Xing had hurt his leg while playing soccer at the stadium and had gone to the hospital directly from there. Now that I think about it, the stadium was definitely wide enough for a helicopter to land, and you were in the helicopter that landed at the stadium. After getting off the helicopter, you became Nan Xing and headed to the hospital for treatment as your leg required treatment as well. You planned this out, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I did.” Nan Chen did not deny that.
“Since you’ve already escaped, why did you still agree to transfer your shares to Ouyang Qing?” Ouyang Duo could not figure that out.
“Right from the start, my grandpa had no intention of giving you any shares. What he transferred to Nan Xing was merely a shell company with no assets. Even if that company was transferred to Ouyang Qing, it wouldn’t mean anything. Besides, if signing that document could make you explain everything, and we also got to record it, there’s no reason not to do it. You’ve overestimated yourself and underestimated my grandpa. In fact, my grandpa did not do much. All he did was buy as much time as he could, hoping that things would change. That’s because he trusted me, and I trusted him too. Because of this trust we had in each other, even though we did not keep in touch, we could still figure out each other’s thoughts. That’s the power of the Nan family. It’s also something you will never understand,” Nan Chen said.
“No. If He Lin hadn’t betrayed me and colluded with you, I wouldn’t have lost!”
“He didn’t double-cross you. He was working for my grandpa all along, and my grandpa was aware of your betrayal all along. More than ten years ago, you paid fifty thousand and bought over a male student’s girlfriend. That student was heartbroken and jumped into the river. My grandpa happened to pass by and saved him. After that, my grandpa sponsored that student’s studies all the way until he completed his Ph.D. Eventually, that man became an elite lawyer who was valued by you. He had worked for you all this while and knew everything about you.
But my grandpa told him that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. If you didn’t snatch his girlfriend away, he might not be able to enjoy the life he currently has. He took my grandpa’s words to heart and didn’t hurt you. However, he was my grandpa’s trump card. If you dared to drive the Nan family into a corner, He Lin would do what he was supposed to do.
When that happened, you would be doomed for sure. Even if the Nan family collapsed first, your end would be sure to follow. Over the years, you’ve played countless petty tricks against the Nan family, such as the projects in Vietnam and M Nation. My grandpa remained tolerant and didn’t ask He Lin to make a move. But this time, you even harmed my daughter. That crossed both my grandpa’s and the Nan family’s bottom lines. Only doom awaits you!”
Ouyang Duo’s face turned ashen when he heard that, and he mumbled to himself, “He Lin is the man you’ve planted next to me? How is this possible?”
“My grandpa said that it’s in your nature to be treacherous, and sooner or later, you would try to harm the Nan family. However, your presence provides a sense of crisis to the Nan family, reminding us not to be complacent. He didn’t want to bring you down so soon. Did you really think you were my grandpa’s match?” Nan Chen said with a hint of disdain in his voice.
