Mighty soldier king (Peter Wang)

Chapter 35

Peter asked the cab driver to pull over and sent Brandon in a hospital for treatment before heading

straight home.

Shelly approached Peter anxiously the moment he arrived at work the next day. "Oh, Peter, something

bad happened. Mr. Zhang came back and asked to see you in his office!"

"Mr. Zhang? Who is he? I don't think I've met him before, " Peter asked, confused.

"Mr. Zhang, whose full name is Jaden Zhang, has worked in our company for a dozen years. He is one

of Miss Song's subordinates, but Miss Song won't offend him if not necessary. There are also rumors

that he has been supporting Bob."

Shelly whispered quickly.

"He's supporting Bob?" 'This can't be good, ' Peter thought. He would have preferred to decline the

meeting, but he knew he had no choice.

He was about to knock when a woman with a voluptuous figure opened the door for him.

"You must be Peter Wang. Mr. Zhang is in a meeting now. Please come in and wait for a moment, " the

woman said, giving Peter a subtle but provocative glance.

Peter didn't know what to make of it. 'Is this woman trying to flirt with me at first sight? Am I even that

attractive?'

If he weren't in a professional setting, he would have flirted back.

"Thanks, " Peter replied politely as he entered. The woman handed Peter a glass of water before

walking out of the office.

Peter was pleasantly surprised. He almost suspected that the woman would seduce him and then

accuse him of indecent assault. Apparently, he was wrong.

"Oh god, come on baby..."

Suddenly, a strange voice coming from Jaden's personal computer got Peter's attention.

Confused, Peter walked over to check what was on the computer screen.

His face turned bright red when he caught a glimpse of what was happening.

Jaden Zhang, one of the company's most prominent leaders, was watching pornographic materials in

the office! What a pervert! No wonder his secretary acted like a slut.

Peter couldn't take his eyes off the screen for minutes. When he was finally about to go back to his

seat, the contents of the screen changed and the office door opened.

"What do you think you're doing?" A middle-aged man in a fine suit walked in, followed by his secretary

— the one flirting with Peter previously.

"Nothing, sir, " Peter replied.

The middle-aged man looked at Peter unconvinced and quickly walked to also view his screen. "How

dare you steal classified information for this company! Who do you work for?"

"What? I wasn't stealing anything!" said Peter, quickly denying the allegations.

Crack!

The man grabbed a flash drive attached to the computer and threw it to the desk. "You can't lie to me. If

you did nothing, then how did this flash drive get here?"

Now Peter knew he was in trouble. He was set up!

Shit, the business world was like a battlefield. He should have been more careful!

"Call the police now! I want this man arrested for corporate espionage, " the middle-aged man

immediately ordered his secretary, giving Peter no chance to defend himself.

The secretary nodded and did what she was told.

The man was Jaden Zhang, Vice President of the Silverland Group. He had been out for a business

trip several days ago. Upon arrival, he was greeted with the news that Bob was beaten up and sent to

the hospital.

This infuriated him, especially when he found out that Peter, the guy responsible for Bob's beating, was

connected to Bella.

He saw it as an attack from Bella by having one of his henchmen attacked. He then decided to set

Peter up to incriminate him as his revenge.

"Mr. Zhang, that flash drive is not mine. I would never steal confidential information from the company, "

Peter calmly explained himself.

"Save your words for the police! They'll be the ones who'll decide your fate, " Jaden said, ignoring

Peter's explanation.

Jaden saw this as a battle between Bella and himself, Peter as a tool. Jaden wanted to show Bella that

she couldn't get away with hurting his henchman that easily.

In the CEO office

Bella immediately stood up the moment the news reached her. "What?! Mr. Zhang caught Peter

stealing confidential information?"

"Yes, nearly everyone in the company knows about it now. The police are arriving any minute, " Clair

replied.

"This is bullshit. Let's go, " Bella said, marching to Jaden's office.

She knew it was a setup, but what she couldn't understand was why Peter fell into it that easily.

Soon, the top executives of the company were in Jaden's office. Some of them were reprimanding

Peter for his crime.

"Never would I have known that a security guard like you would ever steal from our company!"

"I agree! How dare you use your access to the premises to break into Mr. Zhang's computer!"

"He can't deny this forever. He'll definitely spend his life in jail!"

Although Peter could hear what they were saying, he was lost in his own thoughts. No one knew what

he was thinking.

The men assumed that his silence was a sign of his guilt so they continued talking down on him.

Elaine looked at poor Peter and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, there must be something wrong.

How could Peter be a corporate spy? There must have been a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Jaden laughed. "Miss Dai, you were the one who hired this security guard, am I

right? And now you are defending him. Are you sure you're not hiding something?"

Jaden replied suspiciously, putting some of the blame on her.

Elaine went pale. Suddenly she feared for her career as well, almost losing her balance.

She did not want to be labeled as an accomplice to the crime.

Jaden's words also elicited suspicion from the other members of the leadership team. They looked at

Elaine distrustfully, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing what Jaden did to Elaine, Peter spoke up, "Mr. Zhang, how could you just randomly accuse

people of such things? I'm fine with you incriminating me, but you don't have to involve other people."

"What did you say? Are you saying that my claims have no grounds?" Jaden was furious. 'This bastard

is antagonizing me! I will not let him get away with this!'

"You know what happened today, Mr. Zhang. We both know what happened and we both know there

are no pieces of evidence to back up your claims, " Peter said calmly.

"Why, you—" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jaden got even more infuriated with Peter's calmness. How could he be so composed? He should be

worried and sick by now especially with what was coming next! Jaden didn't expect Peter to be so

collected, and he didn't like what was happening at all.
