Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Do you think you can get away with this? (Second Update)
Tian Bojun had a faint sense of foreboding, but he still managed a flattering smile and went to greet the newcomer.
“President Qiao, why are you…”
He didn’t finish his sentence.
Because Qiao Le, who usually treated him quite amicably, now walked straight past him without so much as a glance.
The smile on Tian Bojun’s face slowly stiffened.
Everyone’s eyes turned toward Qiao Le and his entourage; no one knew what the directors of Tianyuan Company were planning to do, and no one dared to speak. The hall gradually fell into silence.
Qiao Le and the others went directly to Xue An. Apart from the oldest, Zhao Xuehui, the others bowed their heads in unison.
“Second Brother!”
“Mr. Xue!”
Their voices were not too loud, yet they struck like a bolt from the blue, dazzling everyone in the hall.
As for Tian Bojun, he stared at the scene, speechless, his mouth agape wide enough to fit three duck eggs.
Xue An’s eyes were downcast as he slowly sipped his tea, and then he let out a soft sigh.
“To be honest, I am very disappointed.”
Zhao Xuehui and the others all shuddered at this.
Xue An spoke indifferently, “Once dormitory brothers, I promised you a splash of wealth and glory, which is why I created Tianyuan. But I never imagined that before the wealth could materialize, petulance had already taken root!”
Xue An’s words caused Zhao Xuehui and his two brothers to look at each other, their faces gradually paling.
“Second Brother, what do you mean by that? Have we done something wrong?” Zhao Xuehui asked with a bitter smile.
Xue An lifted his eyes, “Qiao Le!”
“Second Brother!” Qiao Le stepped forward.
“Do you recognize this man?” Xue An gestured toward the sweat-drenched Tian Bojun.
Qiao Le was taken aback, then nodded, “I recognize him; this is my high school classmate, Tian Bojun, who has a master’s degree in business management. Later on, I made him the head of the HR department. What about him, Second Brother?”
A cold smile appeared on Xue An’s lips, “This matter, I think you should ask your classmate.”
Qiao Le was no fool; he could tell from Xue An’s tone that something was wrong, and his face immediately turned an ashen hue. He turned and fixed a piercing gaze on Tian Bojun.
“Tian Bojun, what have you done?”
Tian Bojun was presently shivering, as terrified as he had been brash before.
No matter what, he had never imagined that what this man had said was all true.
Seeing how genuinely anxious and fearful the other directors appeared, the man’s status seemed unimaginably high.
Therefore, in Tian Bojun’s heart, fear, regret, and despair all mixed together.
Especially after hearing Qiao Le’s accusation, he became even more frightened and stammered out.
“Qiao… President Qiao, I… I…”
But he couldn’t finish his sentence.
Qiao Le’s face grew increasingly unsightly.
He had also heard the whispers from below, how Tian Bojun was arrogant and used his position to bully others.
He had asked several times, but Tian Bojun swore on his chest, assuring that he had never done so.
Out of trust in his classmate, the naive Qiao Le had actually believed him.
But looking at the situation now, even a fool could see something was amiss.
“Tian, I am asking you a question. What on earth have you done to make my Second Brother so angry?” Qiao Le asked through gritted teeth, looking as if he was about to eat someone.
Tian Bojun knelt on the ground with a thud, “President Qiao, I’m inhuman, I have failed to recognize a great man when I’ve seen one, but I truly didn’t know that this gentleman was your second elder brother! Please give me another chance!”
As he spoke, Tian Bojun kept kowtowing with a bam, bam, bam.
Although Qiao Le was furious, upon seeing his classmate apologizing in such a way, he couldn’t help but hesitate and turned to look at Xue An.
“Second brother…”
Xue An waved his hand to indicate for him not to speak.
Then he set down his teacup, casually waved his hand to conceal his two daughters with Secret Technique, and slowly walked over.
Qiao Le and the others stepped aside as Xue An walked straight up to Tian Bojun, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked down at him for a moment before speaking indifferently, “Do you think, just by kowtowing a few times, you can resolve the issue?”
Tian Bojun trembled all over, his teeth chattering so much that he couldn’t even speak.
Xue An looked up at Tian Bohan, who was standing behind Tian Bojun with a deathly pale face, and smiled slightly, “Your cousin seems to be very scared, to the point where he can’t even speak.”
Tian Bohan shivered and forced a smile, “Mr… Mr. Xue is right.”
“Since he can’t speak, you can do the talking. Tell us everything you two have done, in detail, do you understand?” Xue An said in a calm tone.
“Mr….” Tian Bohan hesitated for a moment.
A streak of sword light flashed by, directly severing one of his ears, and blood instantly flowed out, dripping down his chin.
Tian Bohan screamed in agony.
“If you dare to hesitate again, some part of your body will be saying goodbye to you! Do you understand?”
Xue An’s action stunned everyone.
Many people looked on, pale-faced, while others with less courage were so frightened that their legs trembled.
Tian Bohan was utterly despondent, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Xue An.
Then, like spilling the beans, he spilled out all the rotten things he and his cousin had done over the past year.
Not to mention things like using the job at Tianyuan as bait to toy with women.
What’s worse, this Tian Bojun used his position to secretly sell Heaven’s Fate Elixir.
He even accepted bribes from foreign intelligence personnel, attempting to steal the Heaven’s Fate Elixir formula, but because Tianyuan Company’s security measures were very strict, he had no chance to succeed, and that’s why he eventually gave up.
All these evil deeds made Tian Bojun grow paler and paler by the minute.
After finishing speaking, they looked at Tian Bojun, who had already collapsed on the ground with a face resembling that of the dead.
And Qiao Le shivered all over as he listened; finally, unable to bear it any longer, he rushed up in an uncontrollable rage.
With one kick, he hit Tian Bojun’s face, instantly breaking his nose.
“You son of a bitch, you begged me back then to take you in! I pitied you and let you work at Tianyuan, but I never expected you to be such a treacherous person, I’ll kill you!”
Qiao Le’s eyes were bloodshot, and as he looked around, he noticed an ashtray on the side table, which he picked up and began to smash furiously.
Tian Bojun kept screaming, “President Qiao, I was wrong, please let me go, I’ll leave right now and never come back again, please spare me!”
Smack.
The fiberglass ashtray was smashed to pieces, Qiao Le threw it aside, gasping for breath as he looked on.
And in that moment, Tian Bojun was covered in blood, a sight too horrific to bear.
Then Qiao Le turned to look at Xue An and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Second brother…”
He was a man of strong feelings; Tian Bojun was his high school classmate, so although he spoke harshly, he still couldn’t bring himself to go through with it.
He also hoped that Xue An would spare this man.
Xue An clearly understood what Qiao Le meant, but just smiled faintly and then crouched down to look at Tian Bojun, who was covered in blood.
“Do you think you can just be let go like this?”
