Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 259 Public Opinion Reversal
Wang Yang helped Scott up, and the two of them limped out of the dark cell.

Outside, the dawn was just beginning to break. They couldn't help but squint their eyes and breathe in the long-lost fresh air.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Scott asked, "Although that damn consortium has been defeated, their influence in the business and political circles is deeply rooted, and they may make a comeback."

Wang Yang looked ahead, a determined smile on his face: "Don't worry, we are here. I'm not going to let them revive this time."

"First, we need to resume production as soon as possible and get back on track. Although the space elevator has suffered some impact, its foundation has not been damaged. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

"Secondly, we need to continue to increase investment in scientific research and talent introduction. The potential of the space elevator is far from being fully tapped. We must always maintain the spirit of innovation and forge ahead and make it a benefit for all mankind."

"Third, we must actively seek support from all walks of life. Through this incident, all sectors of society have unprecedentedly paid attention to the space elevator. We must seize this opportunity to make friends, build consensus, and truly push the cause to a new height."

"As for those who have ulterior motives, we must not let our guard down. We must continue to punish them severely through legal means and completely cut off their escape routes. At the same time, we must remain vigilant to prevent similar crises from happening again."

"Boss, you are absolutely right!" Scott clenched his fists. "With a leader like you, what do we have to fear? No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we face, we brothers will follow you without hesitation and will follow you until death!"

Wang Yang patted Scott's shoulder emotionally: "My brother, we still have a long way to go. Don't worry, no matter what, I, Wang Yang, will never let you suffer any grievances again!"

"Boss, I always believe in you!"

The two exchanged a firm look, took a step forward, and walked towards the rising sun.

The whole company is bustling with activity.

The whistle for resuming work resounded through the sky, and the machines roared as usual. Everyone's face was filled with the joy and fighting spirit of regrouping.

"Mr. Wang, this is the latest sales report. Thanks to our joint efforts, the company's turnover has returned to the level before the consortium incident." Jiang Liangliang presented a stack of materials with a look of joy on his face.

"Of course. We are not vegetarians. If a mere consortium wants to snatch things from us, it's just dreaming!" Wang Yang said confidently.

Liang Yuzhu also came over and took Wang Yang's arm. "Husband, there's good news from the board of directors. They highly appreciate your performance in turning the tide and have decided to make additional investments to continue supporting our space elevator project."

"That's great! With financial support, our business will surely advance further!" Wang Yang said excitedly.

Tieshan knocked on the door and came in, looking serious: "Boss, there's news from the police. That bastard named Scott has been arrested according to law and is now under investigation. I believe it won't be long before this gang is wiped out!"

"Very good." Wang Yang nodded, "But we can't let our guard down. Although Scott has been arrested, the mastermind behind the scenes may not give up. We must always remain vigilant and guard against it, and not let the enemy take advantage of any opportunity."

"Don't worry, boss. I have experience in escaping. If I hadn't been ambushed by a traitor last time, this wouldn't have happened." Having said that, Tieshan lowered his head in regret.

"Don't blame yourself. Everyone is responsible for this matter." Wang Yang comforted him. "Every failure makes us wiser. From now on, we must unite and fight against the common enemy!"

Everyone nodded together.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

"No! Something happened!"

Wang Yang frowned, stood up and walked out.

Outside the company gate, several police cars were parked, sirens blaring. A group of fully armed special police filed out and rushed into the company lobby at lightning speed!

"Police! Don't move!"

The leader was a mighty middle-aged police officer. With a wave of his hand, his special police immediately surrounded Wang Yang and pointed their guns at them.

"What's going on?!" Wang Yang was furious. "What do you want to do by trespassing into a private house?!"

"Wang Yang, right?" The middle-aged police officer raised his chin coldly. "We received a report that you used your position to engage in illegal activities within the company. We came here today to investigate. Please come with us."

"That's ridiculous! What have I done that's illegal?"

"Well, we'll talk about this when we get to the police station." The police officer snorted, "Don't play dumb here. Everything you did is on file. Just follow us and avoid getting yourself into trouble!"

"You" Wang Yang was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he wanted to rush up to him to argue. But reason told him that at this critical moment, rashly confronting public power would undoubtedly lead to his own death.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Wang Yang said gritting his teeth, "But you'd better understand that I'm innocent. If you dare to frame me, I'll never let you go!"

"Hmph, just wait and see!" The police officer waved his hand, and two special police officers came up and handcuffed Wang Yang without saying a word.

"Brother Yang!"

"Mr. Wang!"

Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were so frightened that they wanted to rush forward to explain, but were stopped by Tieshan.

"Don't act rashly." Tieshan said in a deep voice, "It's not that simple. Since the enemy dared to use such a despicable method to frame the boss, they must have come prepared. If you act rashly, they will only get what they want."

"But..." The two women wanted to argue.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Tieshan smiled coldly, "Let's stabilize our position first and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. I'll go and find a way to collect evidence and clear the boss's name. You keep a close eye on the company and don't let the enemy take advantage of any loopholes."

After saying this, he disappeared into the crowd without anyone noticing.

Wang Yang got into the police car under the "escort" of several special police officers. Before leaving, he looked back at his company with a firm look in his eyes.

"We'll see." He swore secretly in his heart, "I, Wang Yang, will remember this grudge!"

The police car sped away, leaving the area in uproar.

Being taken away by the police at this critical juncture was undoubtedly a further blow to Wang Yang.

The entire company was in uproar and panic. The stock price plummeted, the media swarmed the project, and the entire space elevator project was in jeopardy.

At this time, Wang Yang's mortal enemy, the consortium, jumped out again and took advantage of the situation. They made a big fuss in major media, saying that Wang Yang had evil intentions and used the space elevator to make money. Now he has finally been brought to justice by the police, which is really gratifying.

For a while, the company's door was surrounded by reporters, three layers inside and three layers outside, trying to dig out more inside information.

Facing the overwhelming pressure from public opinion, Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were also somewhat overwhelmed. Seeing that their husbands and Wang Yang's hard work was about to be destroyed, they were anxious and angry, but they were helpless.

"Liangliang, what do you think we should do? Is the enemy's conspiracy going to succeed?" Liang Yuzhu asked with red eyes.

Jiang Liangliang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't panic, Yuzhu. The more complacent the enemy is, the more anxious they are. What we need to do now is to quickly organize our forces and launch a comprehensive counterattack on all fronts!"

"That's right!" Scott also stepped forward, "Every one of us is responsible for the situation that the boss is in today. He risked his life for his brothers, so how could we just stand by and watch when he was in the most critical moment?" "But Brother Yang was taken away by the police, and there's nothing we can do." Liang Yuzhu said worriedly.

"Trust the boss, and even more so, trust ourselves." Jiang Liangliang said firmly, "As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't overcome. Scott, contact our legal team immediately and find a way to hire the best lawyer for the boss. I'll contact the public relations company to calm the media storm as soon as possible."

"Yuzhu, go stabilize the company's morale. Make sure everyone knows that the boss is innocent. The company will not go bankrupt, and the space elevator will continue to operate!"

"Understood!" Liang Yuzhu gritted her teeth, "I'll go right away!"

Everyone took action separately, vowing to pull Wang Yang out of the quagmire and reverse the downward trend.

At the same time, Wang Yang was taken to the police station for interrogation.

Sitting on the cold iron chair, facing the police officer's aggressive gaze, Wang Yang broke out in a cold sweat. But he soon calmed down, his eyes were open and he was confident.

"Wang Yang, let me ask you again," the middle-aged police officer asked sternly, "Did you use your position to make a lot of money from the space elevator project, and did you collude with others to maliciously embezzle the company's assets? Tell the truth!"

"I've already said that I'm innocent." Wang Yang said calmly, "This is just someone framing me. I set up a company and built a space elevator just to make a contribution to society. Every penny of money is clear, and every step is aboveboard. How could there be any illegality?"

"Haha, you're pretty stubborn." The police officer sneered, "Then how do you want to explain this?"

As he spoke, he threw over a stack of photos, which showed Wang Yang shaking hands with several shareholders and toasting each other.

"What does this prove?" Wang Yang was stunned.

"Eating and drinking with shareholders, isn't that enough?" The police officer stared at him, "According to our knowledge, these shareholders are all your cronies. On weekdays, you colluded with each other, working together from the inside and outside to embezzle the company's profits. These photos are irrefutable evidence!"

Wang Yang couldn't help but clench his fists. So that's how it was. The enemy actually used such a despicable method to frame him!

"I do have a good relationship with them, and this is also necessary for the development of the company." Wang Yang suppressed his anger and analyzed calmly, "But making friends and having a meal together, is this a crime? You are completely making things up and talking nonsense!"

"Still quibbling! What about this?"

The police officer threw out another stack of documents and said confidently, "This is a report from someone. It says that you embezzled public funds, kept a mistress outside, and indulged in sensual pleasures all day long. Look for yourself, it's clearly written in black and white!"

Wang Yang was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he almost wanted to rush up to fight him to the death. But he knew that the other party just wanted to provoke him and reveal his flaws.

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down.

"I trust people when I employ them, and I don't employ people if I don't trust them. I have always been clear about all the company's financial expenses." Wang Yang said frankly, "These are all slanders. Don't even think of using such despicable means to frame me!"

"Really? Well, let's wait and see." The police officer said bitterly, "I hope you can still be as self-righteous as you are now!"

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Wang Yang alone in the interrogation room, deep in thought.

It was getting dark outside. Through the bulletproof glass, I could see the swarm of reporters downstairs of the police station. They were all holding cameras, chattering, and impatient.

Wang Yang smiled bitterly. It was really a changing world. Once upon a time, he was also the object of these people's pursuit, and they wanted to praise him to the sky. But now, they are like flies, swarming at the slightest smell of blood, and they want to eat him alive.

"That's the human nature," Wang Yang muttered to himself, "When you're on the rise, everyone will fawn on you. But once you lose power, everyone wants to step on you."

He suddenly thought of George. That honest and upright big guy, who never bothered to engage in intrigue and only knew how to stick up for his brothers. If he knew about this in his afterlife, he would definitely feel sorry for himself.

"George, I can never repay what I owe you," Wang Yang burst into tears.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Let go! You can't do this! I want to see your leader, now!"

A loud voice came, sounding very familiar.

"Excuse me, sir. We are investigating a case and you cannot come in at will."

The policeman's voice was a little nervous.

"I don't care what case you're in! I'm Wang Yang's lawyer. You're illegally detaining me. I demand his immediate release!"

Wang Yang was startled. It was Tieshan! He recognized it. Yes, it was Tieshan!

With a bang, the door of the interrogation room was kicked open, and then a burly figure strode in.

"Boss! Are you okay?" Tieshan looked anxious and hugged Wang Yang.

"Tieshan, why are you here?" Wang Yang was surprised and happy.

"What else can I do? When I heard you were arrested, I wanted to fly here right away!" Tieshan said, looking outside with a gloomy look, "How dare these bastards be so bold! I will never let them go!"

"Don't be impulsive." Wang Yang patted his shoulder. "To deal with them, you can't just rely on fists. You have to use your brain."

Tieshan disagreed: "My brain is only suitable for thinking about how to beat people up."

Wang Yang laughed: "You are here now. With my brothers here, what do I have to be afraid of? But can you do it alone? This lawsuit is entangled..."

"Don't worry, I have hired a team of lawyers. I guarantee that we can help you win the case and clear your grievances!" Tieshan said confidently.

"That's good." Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"

The two held hands tightly, their eyes as determined as before.

The following days were filled with many hardships and undercurrents.

The consortium and the police continued to create public opinion and smear Wang Yang. Tieshan led a team of lawyers to run around, vowing to clear his name.

Wang Yang, on the other hand, fought back against the police. He was calm and rational, answering every question and refuting the trumped-up charges one by one.

Gradually, as evidence was submitted one by one, the truth came to light and Wang Yang's innocence was cleared.

It turns out that all this was a conspiracy directed by the consortium! They first planted spies to create conflicts and disintegrate the company. Then they used the police to frame Wang Yang and force him to submit. The purpose was nothing more than to swallow up the company and monopolize the benefits of the space elevator.

Public opinion has taken a 180-degree turn. Those who once took advantage of Wang Yang's misfortune have now become his supporters. They marvel at Wang Yang's perseverance and courage, and are impressed by his precious quality of sticking to his ideals.
