Li Ze smiled as he stood up.

"In that case, let's vote. Majority rules! What do you all think?"

"This way, no one will have any complaints."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Wenchang's eyes lit up. "Li Shao is right. I have no objections to a vote!"

Liu Zhiyong calmly said, "I have no objections either."

It seemed they were confident of their victory.

Li Ancheng frowned slightly, signaling Li Ze with his eyes. However, Li Ze subtly gestured, indicating that he had a different plan.

"Snap."

Li Ze snapped his fingers.

The next second, Guo Han entered from outside, approached Li Ze with a laptop in his hands.

Li Ze asked, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes, it’s all set."

"Good." Li Ze's lips curved into a smile. "Let's begin!"

"Yes." Guo Han walked over to the large screen on the side of the meeting room, took a USB drive from his pocket, inserted it into the laptop, and connected it to the screen.

Then, he respectfully placed the laptop in front of Li Ze.

The board members present were puzzled.

They didn't know what Li Ze was up to.

Liu Zhiyong narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what he was planning.

But soon, he dismissed it. At this point, even if Demosthenes himself were here to give a rousing speech, it wouldn't change the outcome!

Li Ze stroked his chin and looked up.

With a warm smile, he said, "Let's start the vote now. Hmm, who should begin? Director Liu, Ruan Wenchang, and these gentlemen here—why don’t you all make your decisions first?"

Li Ze smiled brightly.

Everyone he named was from Liu Zhiyong's faction!

Ruan Wenchang stood up directly, staring fearlessly at Li Ze with a sneer, "I oppose!"

In his view, Li Ze’s actions were ridiculous. Did he think this would pressure them?

Naive!

Liu Zhiyong also said slowly, "Apologies, Chairman, Li Shao, I oppose as well. This is for the future of the company."

Even at this moment, he couldn't resist saying something nice.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Utterly hypocritical.

"I oppose!"

"I oppose as well!"

Those named by Li Ze all followed suit.

However, when it came to the last person, there was a slight surprise.

The director actually voted in favor!

This caught everyone off guard, especially Ruan Wenchang, who glared viciously at the traitor who had suddenly changed sides.

The director's face turned pale, and he continuously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unable to meet Ruan Wenchang's gaze.

As a member of Liu Zhiyong's faction, he should have voted against, but at the last moment, he had a bad premonition and decided to change his vote.

Silently, the director prayed.

If he made the wrong bet, he was doomed.

Liu Zhiyong appeared gentle and elegant, but his methods were ruthless, and he would surely settle scores later.

Li Ze smiled and said, "Very good..."

He typed a few commands on the laptop and then pressed the enter key.

Ruan Wenchang's face was full of contempt.

But when the content appeared on the screen, his expression turned into one of shock. His eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Clang."

Liu Zhiyong's teacup slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor.

The directors who had voted against were also pale, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The screen displayed various accounting records and company documents, all detailing evidence of their embezzlement, falsified accounts, misappropriation of company funds, and bribery!

Except for the director who had changed his vote to support, all the evidence of the crimes of the others was displayed, leaving none out!

For Li Ze, who knew the plot, finding these things was incredibly easy. They were all depicted in the TV series.

"Did you really think no one knew about the things you did? Fools!"

Li Ze's voice was icy: "In the past, we overlooked your actions because of your contributions to the company. But unfortunately, it seems you've forgotten your place!"

"You dare to interfere with my succession of the company? You have some nerve! Perhaps you've forgotten that everything you have now was given to you by the Li family!"

The directors looked terrified.

Liu Zhiyong's lips trembled; his previous calm demeanor vanished as he shouted, "This is all slander! Slander!"

"You fabricated these things just to take over as chairman!"

Li Ze responded coldly, "Slander you? Liu Zhiyong, you overestimate yourself... In my eyes, you're just a petty clown."

"As for whether this is slander, don't worry, someone will help you verify it."

He clapped his hands.

The conference room door opened, and several inspectors in uniforms walked in with stern expressions.

"Come with us."

"No, how can this be?" Liu Zhiyong was stunned.

He thought Li Ze had produced this evidence merely to threaten them and use it as leverage.

But Li Ze was more ruthless than they had imagined. He intended to send them all to prison, destroying everything they had!

Liu Zhiyong trembled with anger, pointing at Li Ze and shouting hysterically, "I am a founding member of the Li Group! Without me, there wouldn't be the Li Group of today! How dare you do this, you bastard! How dare you! Let go of me, let go of me..."

The group was filled with anger, fear, and pleas for mercy, but one by one, they were handcuffed by the inspectors. Anyone attempting to escape was immediately subdued and controlled!

Many pleaded with Li Ancheng.

"Chairman Li, give us one more chance!"

But Li Ancheng merely watched coldly. These people had brought this upon themselves.

Out of respect for their past contributions, he had turned a blind eye for a long time, but their behavior had grown increasingly rampant with each passing day!

"Bang!"

The conference room door slammed shut.

Outside, the sounds of their shouting and cursing could still be faintly heard.

Inside the conference room, everyone was silent with fear.

They all looked at Li Ze with extreme apprehension!

They realized that the ones Li Ze had presented evidence against, and who were then taken away by the inspectors, were all those who had voted against him! Only the one who had switched sides at the last moment had escaped unscathed.

Could it be that only he was clean?

Clearly not!

Or rather, at their level, how many could claim to have clean hands? Very few indeed!

Li Ze's gaze swept across their faces again, and he smiled: "Don't worry, let's continue with the vote."

"So."

With a smile, he asked, "Who approves and who opposes?"
