Chapter 715 Trouble
Chapter 715 Trouble
The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.
Two police cars drove by and parked right in front of the main entrance of Yun Rui.
Alistair Mu was working in his office. At that time, the door was opened suddenly and a few policemen
walked inside.
Alistair Mu raised his gaze and looked at the crowd that entered his office. He frowned in vex, "What
happened?"
Jack came inside as well. Before he could say anything, the policeman said, "Good morning, Mr. Mu. I
am in charge of this region and I received a whistle blow, and now we have reasonable suspicion that
your company had illegally imported raw materials for jewelries with strong radiation for profiteering. It
had severely endangered the consumers' health and well-being. Hence, now our team will start to do a
search in your company. I hope you can cooperate and follow us to the station!"
Alistair Mu's eyebrows furrowed deeply, "You must be mistaken. Our company's raw materials are all
supplied through proper channel and registered suppliers. This can never happen!"
"Mr. Mu, please cooperate!"
Jack walked forward as well, "You must be mistaken, that just isn't possible!"
At that time, one of the police officers came forward and he brought a box with him, "We found it. We
found a batch of jewelries in the store. After test, the radiation was fifty percent higher than the safety
standard!"
When Alistair Mu heard that, he stared at the box of gemstones and frowned deeply. He understood
the gravity of the situation.
"Mr. Mu, please follow us back to the station for further investigation!" The policeman said.
"That is impossible…" Jack said right away.
"Jack!" Before Jack could say anything, Alistair Mu interrupted him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen.
Inform lawyer Lee right now!"
When Jack saw how composed Alistair Mu was, he was made restful. Although he was worried sick, he Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
nodded obediently, "Got it!"
The assistant took out his phone and went aside to make the call.
"Mr. Mu, let's go!" As the policeman said that, he took out a handcuff.
Alistair Mu glanced at him and stretched out his hands. Even if he was handcuffed, it did not make him
look lesser. Strangely enough, he looked even more overbearing and carried a stronger presence.
Under the public's eyes, Alistair Mu was brought away.
The moment he went to the doorstep, a large group of reporters were waiting for him. The moment they
saw him, they rushed forward and snapped pictures and bombarded him with questions.
"Mr. Mu, can you clarify what happened?"
"Is it true that you had been using inferior grade of raw materials with high radiation?"
"President Mu, do you mind to tell us in detail?"
"President Mu, when you used this kind of inferior goods, have you expected to get caught?"
The reporters rushed forward and were desperate to interview him.
Alistair Mu was unbothered and didn't want to entertain them. But when he heard the last question, he
stopped by his footsteps.
He turned his head over and looked at that reporter, "Everyone must be held responsible for what they
do and what they say. Let me make things clear, I have never done anything illegal!" After saying that,
he glared at the reporter threateningly and went inside the police car.
"Alistair…"
At that time, Annabelle Xia ran out from the company and stood by the main entrance. She looked at
him worriedly.
When Alistair Mu heard her, he turned his head back and Annabelle Xia hurried forward, "What
happened? Why is this happening?"
Annabelle Xia asked worriedly. When she saw that he was handcuffed, her eyebrows furrowed deeply
in worry.
Alistair Mu simply looked at her and smiled, "Darling, I'm afraid I will need to hand the company to you
for the time being. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me!"
When Annabelle Xia still wanted to ask questions, the policeman urged him to get inside the car.
Alistair Mu showed her a restful smiled, "Don't worry!" After that, he looked at her lovingly and turned
around to get inside the car.
As Annabelle Xia stood by the entrance and watched as Alistair Mu was brought away, his eyebrows
furrowed deeply.
At that time, the reporters turned their attention to Annabelle Xia and swarmed towards her, "Miss Xia,
can you please tell us what happened?"
"With this happening to Yun Rui, how will it affect the workers?"
"Miss Xia, did you know about that?"
……
The reporters were bombarding her with all sorts of questions.
As Jack watched from the side, he knew he must protect Annabelle Xia from the hyena-like reporters.
The man was trying everything he could to keep the reporters away from her. Annabelle Xia simply
stood there and watched as the police car disappeared into the distance. Her eyes was just filled with
worry…
Once the news was spread, the entire A city was shaken.
Even the grandmother and madam Mu were shocked at home.
It was beyond their wildest imagination for something like that to happen. But according to how well
they knew Alistair Mu, he would never do something like that.
However, the situation had proven otherwise. Not only that, they saw the policeman came out with the
illegal goods from inside the company…
When the grandmother saw the news, she turned her head towards Madam Mu, "Why is this
happening?"
Madam Mu simply stared at the TV screen and said nothing. She was worried sick as well.
It is normal to have bad things happening from time to time. But it was just not normal to have so many
bad things happening in the same year. One after another without a break at all.
Madam Mu averted her gaze from the screen in distress and looked at the grandmother, "Mum, don't
worry. We still don't know what happened. Annabelle is still in the company, right? Let me give her a
call and get a clearer view of the situation!"
The grandmother nodded, "Okay, hurry!"
Right before they wanted to make the call, the phone on the table rang. Madam Mu answered it right
away, "Hello…"
After hearing what the other party said, madam Mu nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the call, the grandmother asked hurriedly, "How was it? What happened?"
"Annabelle asked Jack to call. She said as she still hasn't find out what happened but Alistair is fine.
They had already arranged the lawyers and she asked us not to worry too much!" Madam Mu said.
However, even if they said that, how could the family not worry?"
"I don't believe Alistair would use illegal gemstones with hazardous radiation!" The grandmother said
uncompromisingly.
Madam Mu looked at her and said, "Mum, since you are so confident, you should know that there is
more that meets the eyes. Don't worry, everything will definitely be okay!" Madam Mu said.
When the grandmother heard that, she nodded. She knew that Madam Mu was worried as well but she
managed to comfort her. That made the grandmother pleased.
"Don't worry, I know I am old but I am still able to handle that. I have experienced all kind of challenges
and hurdles in my youth, and I believe Alistair will definitely be fine!" The grandmother said that. She
was completely satisfied with her daughter in law.
Madam Mu nodded restfully. After what happened previously, she was afraid that the grandmother
would get too riled and emotional.
However, the mother was just in anguish when she saw Alistair Mu in handcuffs.
……
In the company.
After something like that happened, the company was in a chaos.
Once Alistair Mu was brought away, the workers were discussing in fear.
Since Alistair Mu wasn't around, it was only natural for Annabelle Xia to take charge.
At that time, Jack walked inside and reported, "Miss Xia, the lawyers had went over. They will be
updating us shortly!"
"No matter what, make sure you find the best lawyers. Something must be wrong in this matter and
Alistair is definitely innocent!" She had no doubt with that at all. Alistair Mu had founded the company
and did everything he could to bring it to such height. He would definitely not take the risk and do
something unethical like that to sabotage his own reputation and the company as well. The man wasn't
desperate at all and he was wealthy enough. There was just none whatsoever motivation for him to do
that. Therefore, something must be happening behind the back!
Jack nodded, "Lawyer Lee is our company's most prominent law consultant. He can definitely think of
something!"
Annabelle Xia nodded. She stood in front of the French window and tried to think of their next steps.
However, the scene earlier when Alistair Mu was brought away kept flashing in her mind. She drew a
deep breath and tried to clear her thought. She knew that this is a critical moment and she must keep
herself collected.
Calm down, Annabelle Xia!!
"What is the situation outside right now?" Annabelle Xia drew a deep breath and asked.
"Once the news was published, it caused a panic amongst the consumers. All our counters were forced
to cease business!" Jack said honestly.
When Annabelle Xia heard that, she rubbed her temple. After what happened, that kind of market
reaction was just expected.
"Hurry and get the PR to issue a statement, from today onwards, let the consumers have a refund for
their product unconditionally. Right now our priority is to give the consumers confidence. Next, find me
a few trustworthy and reputable inspection agency. Get them to do a proper inspection to all of Yun
Rui's products. Keep all of the investigation transparent and announce that to the public. We must
make sure to do this and get everyone involved and informed in the investigation!" Annabelle Xia gave
the instruction.
Jack listened and nodded agreeably. He found that Annabelle Xia was resembling Alistair Mu more and
more. Even under such dire circumstances, she could come up with the best possible solution.
"I will do that right away!" Jack said and wanted to excuse himself.
"Wait a while…" Annabelle Xia called out to him suddenly.
Jack looked at her, "Is there anything else?"
Annabelle Xia turned over slowly and looked at Jack, "Jack, what do you think of this matter?" She
asked.
Jack said honestly, "I have been working for president Mu for two years already. I knew how much he
had invested in this company and I believe president Mu would never do something like that for
profiteering. And he would never break the law to put the company and himself in such risk!" Jack said
assuredly.
Most importantly, Alistair Mu was just wealthy and he had no need and motivation to do that at all!
Annabelle Xia was agreeable. He wasn't a person that would risk his personal and company reputation
for profiteering, endangering the consumer in the same time.
Therefore, there must be more that met the eyes!
"Are you suggesting…"
"Something is odd. The policeman came and they claimed that they received a call about someone
reporting that incident. But as they reached, the reporters were already geared up and camping by the
entrance. Everything seemed to be prearranged!" Jack said.
When Annabelle Xia heard that, she frowned, "Are you suggesting this is a malicious act?"
Jack nodded assuredly, "Yes, I believe president Mu will definitely not do something like that!"
Annabelle Xia believed that as well. After that, she raised her head and looked at Jack, "Where did
they find the jewelry with radiation?"
"In the storeroom!"
"Who was the person in charge of the storeroom and has the key?" Annabelle Xia asked.
Jack thought for a while and said, "Aside from president Mu, the only person that has the key is the
director of the design department!"
Annabelle Xia was astute and she was on the right track to being a splendid president!
