Manager Zhang was extremely angry, then his eyes turned, and he hinted at something.
"Lv Ping, if it was really you who did it, just admit it. The County Magistrate and I have some connections, and as a neighbor, I can put in a good word for you. Maybe it'll just be a false alarm."
Lv Ping's tense and fearful emotions immediately calmed down.
"I... this matter has nothing to do with Manager Zhang, I'll go with you to the County Government."
Pei Shu'er chuckled softly.
"Lv Ping, you probably forgot that Mrs. Hu and I are bosom friends."
"Since you've admitted to this crime, it's naturally impossible for me to let you walk away scot-free. At the very least, Pei's losses over the past few days and the crime of stealing the formula amount to a prison sentence of at least several years."
Lv Ping's stance visibly wavered; he couldn't possibly take all the blame for Manager Zhang.
"No, it was also Manager Zhang, he was the mastermind."
