Chapter 1026
Fierce Battle
Lu Yan looked at the enraged Su Jingren and said, "Since I dared to call the enforcement team, it means I already have enough evidence. You don't need to worry too much about that!"
Led by the financial director, the law enforcement officers quickly approached Su Jingren, showed him their credentials, handcuffed him, and then took him away.
Those high-ranking leaders who sided with Su Jingren also followed him.
Even as Su Jingren was being taken away by the relevant authorities, he didn't forget to turn around and spout arrogant remarks at Lu Yan.
However, this time the evidence is conclusive. Su Jingren had embezzled and accepted bribes from the company on a regular basis, and this time he was taken away enough to keep him eating plain rice for several years.
After the group left, the meeting room finally returned to calm. Lu Yan's move of making an example of someone served as a warning to others, laying a good foundation for his newly appointed authority.
The remaining senior executives in the office and the employees watching the video conference were all stunned by the decisive and efficient attitude of the newly appointed chairman.
Currently, everyone has no objections to Lu Yan, the newly appointed chairman; they only have respect for him.
Li Meijia was still standing in the corner of the conference room. The matter concerning Su Jingren involved a large sum of money, and someone as insignificant as her wasn't qualified to be called in for questioning, so she remained standing there.
Lu Yan looked at Li Meijia, who was still standing in the corner of the conference room, and said to her, "You've been fired. Please leave!"
Li Meijia had witnessed Lu Yan's decisive and efficient execution, so when she heard Lu Yan's words, she didn't waste any more words and hurriedly left the conference room, afraid that if she was too slow, Lu Yan would punish her even more severely.
In this way, Lu Yan swiftly purged the people at Dongjiang Mining, removing all those who were an eyesore, thus laying a solid foundation for his future leadership position at Dongjiang Mining.
While Dongjiang Mining was clearing people out, Xu Bo'an had just gotten up and finished breakfast, and was watching with great interest the actions of the little people in the bonsai world.
It was already morning, and the village was quiet. The little people had all gone to work in the fields, busy with the construction of the greenhouses. Xu Bo'an turned his attention to the farmland in Kaoshan Village and was surprised to find that the little people had already built quite a few greenhouse sites. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the little people had finished building all the greenhouse materials that Xu Bo'an had given them.
Looking at the rows of neatly arranged greenhouses, Xu Bo'an felt very gratified.
Meanwhile, Yan Shouyi from the Bonsai World was locked in a fierce battle with a new wave of bandit-suppression personnel sent by the imperial court. The man Yan Shouyi was fighting today was none other than the renowned General Lu Zhenyuan.
However, due to being framed by treacherous people last time, Lu Zhenyuan has been demoted from the position of general to deputy general.
Lu Zhenyuan was heartbroken by the incompetent emperor because of the previous incident. When the emperor proposed the bandit suppression operation, he asked Lu Zhenyuan for his opinion, and Lu Zhenyuan accepted the task without hesitation.
Given the current situation in the court where treacherous officials hold sway, Lu Zhenyuan is finding it difficult to move forward. Since the emperor has asked for his opinion, it means that the emperor has already decided to send him. In that case, he might as well agree directly. Anyway, he's been quite bored in the court today, so he might as well go out and relax.
Under normal circumstances, tasks like suppressing bandits wouldn't easily trouble a big shot like Lu Zhenyuan. Even though he's now been demoted to deputy commander-in-chief, he's still quite powerful. People like him are usually only sent out for emergency missions. Small-scale bandit suppression tasks like this are usually assigned to more peripheral figures.
The reason things turned out this way is obvious; someone must have been whispering in the emperor's ear. Otherwise, why would the emperor suddenly send him to suppress the bandits?
Lu Zhenyuan knew without a doubt that this was Pei Chengyuan's doing. His goal was simply to kill him!
They had also heard rumors that the bandits in the Yushan area were extremely rampant, and that some of them were very powerful. They had failed to assassinate Lu Zhenyuan last time and wanted to use this bandit suppression campaign as an excuse to send themselves into the bandits' territory and be killed by them.
How could Lu Zhenyuan not know these things? It's just that Lu Zhenyuan has always cared about the people. He felt that if the bandit suppression was successful, he could also clear some obstacles for the people and prevent them from being troubled by bandits all year round.
After bidding farewell to his family, Lu Zhenyuan embarked on the road to suppress bandits. When Li Qingshi heard the news, he volunteered to follow Lu Zhenyuan to suppress the bandits.
Pei Chengyuan knew that Li Qingshi was on Lu Zhenyuan's side, so he agreed without hesitation. Therefore, Li Qingshi accompanied Lu Zhenyuan on this bandit suppression mission.
Because Lu Zhenyuan was sent out to suppress bandits, the person who assigned him did not intend for him to return alive. Therefore, very few people accompanied Lu Zhenyuan on this mission, only about a hundred, and these hundred people were all soldiers with very weak combat capabilities.
By the time Lu Zhenyuan led his group to the Yushan area, they had already fought against several groups of bandits who came to rob them. Fortunately, these were relatively weak forces and did not cause Lu Zhenyuan and his men too much damage.
Along their journey, they found it difficult to find a place to set up camp, as all the hilltops that seemed to have a good location were occupied by bandits.
They set off a couple of days ago, and every night they just found a random place to rest, without finding a suitable hilltop for them to set up camp.
After finally reaching Feiya Waterfall, we saw some water sources and thought it would be a good place to set up camp. However, we had only just chosen a satisfactory spot and had been resting for a short while when people suddenly appeared and forcibly stopped us.
The people who suddenly appeared were the patrolmen in Yan Shouyi's team who were responsible for patrolling the nearby mountains. The patrolmen saw that there were quite a few soldiers from the imperial court and were worried that it would affect their mission, so they sent someone to inform Yan Shouyi.
Upon receiving the news, Yan Shouyi rushed over, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.
Li Qingshi knew Yan Shouyi, but Li Qingshi was out in the mountains looking for food and wasn't with Lu Zhenyuan. When Li Qingshi returned with some wild fruits and vegetables, he witnessed the fierce battle between the two sides. (End of Chapter)
