Seeing Zhou Jiajia and the other two women again, he felt somewhat conflicted, for she was the girlfriend of his good comrade-in-arms, who was now arrested. With Antian Group facing a major crisis, he didn't know if his comrade's girlfriends could make it through these tough times.

Actually, he didn't believe that Lin Yifan was involved in drug trafficking, but the evidence was conclusive, and he found himself unable to refute it at the moment. He could only wait until more evidence was found before he could release Lin Yifan.

"Yes, Captain Zhao!"

Upon receiving the order, the auxiliary police guarding the cordon immediately let Zhou Jiajia and the others through.

As Zhou Jiajia and the others crossed the cordon and arrived in front of Zhao Dabing, they sincerely thanked him and then rushed into the Antian Group building.

At this time, the interior of Antian Group was in chaos. Without most of the senior executives, the remaining grassroots employees were headless and at a loss, somewhat panicked.

Just as everyone was unsure of what to do, Zhou Jiajia entered.

Seeing the familiar Chief Zhou finally returning, the grassroots employees swarmed up, pouring out their worries: "Chief Zhou, you're finally back. We've been so anxious waiting for you that it's making us sick."

"Don't worry, everyone. I will shoulder everything. I won't let anything happen to you," she said.

Zhou Jiajia first calmed the troops, avoiding the "soldiers" becoming flustered and beaten before the battle began.

With Chief Zhou's words, the grassroots employees of Antian Group felt somewhat reassured; they had been through big challenges before. They believed that this time, under Zhou Jiajia's leadership, they would certainly overcome the difficulties and get back on track.

After a while, the financial director Liu Yue greeted Zhou Jiajia downstairs with the remaining senior executives of the company.

"Chief Zhou!"

"You've come at the right time! I have something to ask you," she said.

Without another word, Zhou Jiajia, with a stern face, led the company's senior executives toward the conference room.

The whole way, she didn't say a word, her face full of anger.

The following company executives felt quite the pressure; this time, Chief Zhou was truly furious.

It's understandable, after all, such a huge crisis would enrage any company executive beyond measure.

Zhou Jiajia had transformed into the female CEO, no longer the kind and simple woman she usually was.

Arriving in the conference room, Zhou Jiajia threw her bag onto the table and then sat down abruptly in the chair of honor, crossing her legs and asking angrily, "Now tell me! What exactly happened?"

Seeing her demeanor, the remaining executives inevitably swallowed hard, sensing the mood was like Judge Bao interrogating a culprit; lies and defiance of authority were not allowed.

Taking a deep breath, the financial director timidly replied: "Chief Zhou… The thing is, some time ago, product manager Feng Haodong suddenly wanted to launch an online event, saying that buying a Tianyao V8 phone would come with a free voucher for Cool Drink.

The voucher could be used repeatedly, limited to one purchase per day, ten bottles per purchase, for one month.

Initially, our company was skeptical of this approach, but later, when we saw a sudden surge in sales of the Tianyao V8 phone, we dismissed those doubts.

But we never expected that such a huge hidden danger lurked behind the high sales. By the time we realized it, it was already too late to control.

"We are a company that makes phones, where do these drinks come from? And with a free month, where do we get the funds to buy the drinks? Isn't that a loss-making deal? How could you agree to do this kind of thing?" Zhou Jiajia questioned.

In recent times, they had been busy with the competition and had entrusted many important matters to the most trusted people, but they never expected such a result.

"Actually, at the beginning, we shared the same doubts as you, Chief Zhou, but Feng Haodong said that the drinks were donated by a partner company, requiring no money to purchase. We also didn't know what the partner company's purpose was, or what benefits Feng Haodong had given them in exchange for the free donation," the financial director replied.

Being in charge of finances, he hadn't been involved in the case, and thus hadn't been arrested.

"Where is Feng Haodong now?" Zhou Jiajia asked.

Feng Haodong was someone An Qi had trusted a lot; many of the innovations for the Tianyao V8 had come from him. Therefore, An Qi was quite at ease with him; that's why, when she moved from Guiyuan City to Yanjing, she left the position of product manager to Feng Haodong.

What she had never expected was that Feng Haodong would turn out to be a backstabber, putting the company in a predicament.

Now, she truly regretted it; but she knew it was pointless, and at this stage, only by finding Feng Haodong could she learn more about the situation.

"I heard that he committed suicide at his home last night," the financial director Liu Yue answered.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Jiajia slammed the table and couldn't help but curse under her breath. She rarely used foul language, but today she couldn't hold back.

The company executives sitting in the conference room were all startled by the sudden table slam and curse, which sent chills through their spines.

After calming down a bit, Zhou Jiajia resumed her questioning: "Have you found the company that made the Cool Drink?"

The source was this beverage company. As long as the beverage company was found, everything could be resolved.

"No!" the financial director Liu Yue shook his head in reply: "It's a counterfeit beverage company, all the information is fake."

"Damn it!"

Zhou Jiajia cursed again involuntarily, it was clear someone was trying to frame and entrap Antian Group.

This time, the mastermind behind the scenes was more ruthless than the last, killing key figures and destroying key evidence, leaving them no starting point for their investigation.

Now, the only clues were to check the security camera footage and Feng Haodong's communication records.

Investigating the security footage might clarify the origin of the Cool Drink, and investigating Feng Haodong's communication records might reveal the identity of the mastermind.

However, it seemed the police would have an easier time with this, so Zhou Jiajia called Zhao Dabing and let him handle the matter.

Of course, she wouldn't be idle either. While the clue of the surveillance footage was something she could investigate, it would just take some money.

However, to clear Lin Yifan's and Antian Group's name, no amount of money would be too much to spend.

The most important task at this stage was to hold a press conference to clarify the situation and soothe the anger in the hearts of the citizens.

Thus, she ordered her subordinates to handle it.

With money spent to invite them, reporters from major media soon arrived inside Antian Group to ask questions of Zhou Jiajia and the other executives.

Zhou Jiajia patiently answered all the reporters' questions, and finally, she announced a statement to the public: "Remember a few months ago, a similar incident occurred at Antian Group Company, and the people were filled with rage, hurling all sorts of insults; but ultimately, it turned out that Antian Group had been framed and sabotaged.
