Ye Yun's words were filled with immense confidence.
This caused Zhang Han's expression to turn peculiar.
Fortune-telling?
What kind of audacious move was this?
To be honest, if anyone else had said this to Zhang Han, he would have long since cursed them out.
It was 2021, and they were still talking about feudal superstition!
But since Ye Yun was his boss, even if Zhang Han's emotional intelligence were lower, he wouldn't say such a thing.
"Uh... when I was at Pfizer, I did feel that Smith's hands were not entirely clean. But what does that have to do with us going to Venice Garden?" Zhang Han thought for a moment and said as tactfully as possible.
Ye Yun explained.
"You need to remember, no matter how much power Smith wielded at Pfizer, he was still a Westerner. And in Jinling, as a foreigner unfamiliar with the place, he would need a Chinese person's help to better accumulate wealth and enjoy himself. Even if Smith wanted to conceal and keep things secret, this Chinese person would undoubtedly hold a lot of evidence against Smith."
"And once we can capture this Chinese person and make them work for us, don't you think we'll have evidence of Smith's years of corruption and bribery? How much would the exposure of scandals involving Pfizer Group's China regional executives affect Pfizer's stock price? At that time! I will show Smith what it means to have absolute power!"
With Ye Yun's explanation, Zhang Han finally began to understand.
However, he still had a question in his heart.
How was Ye Yun so certain that Smith was definitely corrupt and taking bribes, and even had many scandals?
Moreover, he was sure that Smith had a Chinese confidant.
It seemed that confidant lived in Venice Garden.
Alright, even if Ye Yun was correct, how would he persuade that confidant to work for him?
Zhang Han was filled with questions about everything.
However, he also knew that Ye Yun probably wouldn't explain these things to him. He would eventually find out the truth by following along.
Zhang Han's thoughts did not escape Ye Yun's notice.
Just as Zhang Han thought, Ye Yun would not explain.
The reason he brought Zhang Han this time was to show off his strength in front of Zhang Han, so that he wouldn't be so intimidated by Smith.
He had already instructed Wang Hailin to gather information on people around Smith since yesterday.
Li Ming, who had appeared repeatedly, would naturally be investigated more thoroughly.
In fact, combined with the reasons for Smith's downfall in his previous life, Ye Yun easily concluded that it was highly likely his confidant who betrayed him.
And this person was very likely Li Ming!
Coupled with some rumors that had surfaced online at the time...
If he hadn't known these things, Ye Yun might have really suffered a silent loss this time.
In the afternoon, Zhang Han first took Ye Yun to see the factory, and it was indeed as he had said.
It was small but had all the essential functions, making it very suitable for the initial development of Yao Ke Group.
In the evening, the two of them had a casual dinner, timed their departure to coincide with Pfizer Group's dismissal time, and headed to Venice Garden.
Zhang Han drove the car, and Ye Yun had already read Wang Hailin's information clearly on the way.
Li Ming's residence was in Room 401, Building 20, Venice Garden.
The apartment was bought, but Li Ming was not originally from Jinling. His wife and children were in their hometown, so he lived alone here.
"Damn, these Western devils really know how to have fun!"
Li Ming cursed to himself as he lay on the sofa alone.
He thought of Smith's instructions when they left work, and his heart burned with excitement.
It was also their fault, Zhang Han and his new master, for being so foolish that they were tricked out of a hundred million by Smith.
And Smith, happy about it, had instructed him to arrange ten girls for him to have a good time tonight.
As a man, how could Li Ming not be envious?
However...
"You Western devil go have your fun, and I'll take good care of things for you too..." A mischievous smile flashed across Li Ming's face. He simply put on a jacket and was about to go out.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Just as Li Ming was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
"Zhang Han! What are you guys doing here!" Upon opening the door, Li Ming was startled to see Ye Yun and Zhang Han standing at the entrance.
Ye Yun did not reply. He looked Li Ming up and down as he was about to go out, making Li Ming feel uneasy.
"Damn! What are you looking at! How did you know my address! This is a society governed by law, don't mess around! Besides, Smith is the one who scammed you, not me!" Li Ming cursed, grabbing a feather duster as a weapon, as if it could give him a sense of security.
A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes!
Having just been scammed out of a hundred million, even a monkey couldn't swallow that anger.
Now that they were at his door, were they planning to retaliate?
"Director Li, don't be nervous. If we wanted to retaliate, we wouldn't have come with just the two of us. We just want to chat with you, won't you invite us in for a sit?" Ye Yun said with a smile.
Ye Yun's words made Li Ming frown even deeper. He had no idea what scheme they were plotting.
"No, I'm not familiar with you! If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm in a hurry to go out for something!" Li Ming said.
"Alright, since Director Li puts it that way, I won't beat around the bush. To be frank, I want Director Li to help me get ironclad proof of Smith's corruption and bribery." Ye Yun got straight to the point.
As soon as these words were spoken, both Li Ming and Zhang Han looked at Ye Yun as if he were an idiot.
Are you crazy?
Let alone whether Li Ming had any, even if he did, given that they were on opposing sides, why would Li Ming give it to you?
"Mr. Ye, if I'm not mistaken, it seems Smith was right today. You are extremely arrogant! If you came here just to say this, I'm sorry, I have other matters to attend to and no time to waste with you." Li Ming said with disdain, closing the door and walking past Ye Yun and the other to get into the elevator.
"If Smith knew you were secretly contacting Pfizer headquarters..."
Just as Li Ming was about to enter the elevator, a voice sounded from behind him, causing him to pause and turn around with a changed expression.
"You..."
"If your wife knew you were keeping a mistress outside..." Ye Yun continued.
"What do you know!" Li Ming's face turned ashen, and his heart was already in turmoil.
These were his deepest secrets!
How did this person in front of him know them?
He thought no one else knew besides himself!
"Probably more than Director Li thinks. Don't worry, as long as you behave, I guarantee these matters will be kept buried." Ye Yun smiled.
Looking at Ye Yun's smiling but menacing demeanor, Li Ming couldn't help but wonder.
Was the other party bluffing, or did he actually have some evidence?
However, he didn't dare to gamble, because if the other party simply let these two sentences out, they wouldn't even need evidence.
Smith and his wife would investigate him.
Once that happened, his past actions would inevitably be exposed.
"I don't have evidence of Smith's corruption and bribery. I'm just a dog under him. He wouldn't reveal such core secrets to me. He's a Westerner and can't completely trust me, a Chinese person. I think you understand this!" Li Ming said.
Zhang Han couldn't help but nod.
He had interacted with many Westerners at Pfizer. While they seemed friendly on the surface, they were arrogant at heart.
Let alone core secrets, they rarely even communicated normally.
Ye Yun gave Li Ming a meaningful look and said.
"Director Li, you even know Smith's wife..."
