Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Finding Someone to Take the Blame
“Yes, I understand.” Yao replied respectfully, “Mr. Jie, how should we explain on the Dan Group’s side? This batch of cargo was purchased under the Group’s name. The incident is so serious that I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep the news under wraps.”
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered, with a long finger he knocked twice on the car door, “Arrange a meeting for me with Ye Zhanxing, I want to see him alone.”
“The joint agreement with the Ye Family has already been terminated. If Mr. Jie wishes for Ye Zhanxing to help swallow this loss, it might be very difficult.”
Such a large batch of goods, probably only the Ye Family could handle.
But once Ye Zhanxing agrees to help, the Ye Family would also be implicated in this case.
Apart from what the police could uncover, just being involved in such a case could harm the Ye Family’s reputation.
Such reputational damage, is even more taboo than economic loss.
Ye Zhanxing will likely see what’s coming. To ask him to agree, would be a hundred times harder than taking on the responsibility ourselves.”
“Regardless of how well we handle it, the crime of transporting goods privately using the Group’s name will most certainly fall on my head. Rather than going to great lengths to clear my name later, it would be better if an unrelated party would take the blame early on.”
Ye Zhanxing is the most suitable candidate.
The Ye Family is an important partner of the Dan Group. It is not a big issue for them to require goods, but now that there’s a problem with these goods, it naturally becomes the Ye Family’s problem.
The most the Dan Group may be blamed for is lax transportation.
However, the difficulty lies in how to get Ye Zhanxing to agree.”
“Let’s return to the mansion.”
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered, suddenly he ordered.
Yao didn’t dare to disobey, quickly turned the car around, and headed back in the direction of the mansion.
As soon as the car drove into the mansion, Qin Youxuan rushed out from the living room and ran directly to the front of the car, panting for breath, “Dan Hanjie, I saw the news, did the goods you’re responsible for encounter issues?”
Dan Hanjie long legs stepped off the backseat of the car, he walked over to her, stretched his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, “It’s nothing.”
“Yaya told me that she saw you at the scene of the incident. If it’s nothing, what were you doing there?”
Qin Youxuan was rather rushed, she took a breath, “I had the butler check it, and the news said, the batch of goods belongs to the Dan Group, and it’s in your area of responsibility. Now that there’s a problem, will it involve you?”
“Who told them to tell you this?”
Dan Hanjie saw her cat-like eyes full of worry, he frowned unhappily.
Pulling Qin Youxuan, he headed into the living room, the sun outside was too strong, in just a short while, her little face had become flushed.
Upon entering the living room, he found that Ning Yanan was not there.
That’s right, they had left the scene, while Ning Yanan was still there.
They had come back directly, there’s no way Ning Yanan could have caught up.
So, how did the news get back here?
“I saw the news, and happened to see Yaya on the scene, so I called her to gossip. Who knew that you’d also be there…”
Qin Youxuan perceived his doubts and quietly explained.
If it hadn’t been for that phone call, she wouldn’t have realized that Dan Hanjie’s hasty departure had anything to do with the cargo explosion case reported in the news.
“It was just a normal cargo transportation accident. The police intervened in the investigation, and I happened to be in charge, so I just went to take a look.” Dan Hanjie held her head, straightened her face, and said softly.
“Is it really just like that?” Qin Youxuan asked anxiously.
Her intuition told her that it definitely wasn’t that simple; otherwise, Ning Yanan wouldn’t have been hesitating when she was on the phone with her.
