Chapter 321 Imprisonment
Chapter 321 Imprisonment
"Jiang Yao!"
A strong, resounding voice rang out to stop him.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was indeed the station director himself, and Mo Yilan beside him still had that aloof and detached demeanor.
But in Jiang Yao's eyes at that moment, Mo Yilan was mocking her, and that she was provoking her by asking the station director for support.
Looking around at the crowd, she saw that everyone was looking at Jiang Yao with disdain, and not a single person was on her side.
Jiang Yao's inner turmoil and inner turmoil reached their peak at this moment.
She forcefully ripped off her work badge and threw it to the ground with all her might.
"I quit!! I'm not staying in this lousy place anymore!!"
The station director looked at her with a very serious expression, as if he was thinking about how this person was recruited in the first place.
Lacking both ability and character.
Seeing that he was being ignored again, and that he had openly announced his resignation, not a single person tried to persuade him to stay.
Jiang Yao had seen through it all. Her colleagues were all hypocritical and pretended to be friendly, and the station director was even more heartless. She had been with the station for so long, and although she hadn't made any great contributions, she had certainly put in a lot of effort, yet he hadn't shown her any appreciation whatsoever.
She turned around angrily, intending to pack her things; she was quitting today! She couldn't lose this argument!
And she had already planned in her mind that once she got out, she would exaggerate how Mo Yilan colluded with other employees to bully her in the workplace, how the director of Huazhong TV Station favored this vixen Mo Yilan, and also help publicize the fact that Mo Yilan was being harassed by Madam Jiang...
Make a huge scene out of it!
If they can't make their own lives better, then they all have to die!
He could go back and join another TV station. He's been working on this big platform in Central China for so long, he might be able to become a manager at a small TV station, or even become a shareholder.
"and many more."
The station director finally spoke up.
Jiang Yao thought he was trying to persuade her to stay, and a smug look flashed across her face.
But before she could even feign a refusal, several security guards surrounded her.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"You can't leave yet." The station manager stepped forward and ordered several security guards.
"Keep an eye on her, we'll hand her over to the police later."
Jiang Yao panicked immediately upon hearing this.
"No?! Yan Lele and I were fighting! What right do you have to call the police and arrest me?! Even if we go to the police station, we should go together to mediate. What right do you have to arrest me alone?!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in the station director's eyes as he looked at Mo Yilan.
Mo Yilan explained to him in a low voice what had just happened in the office.
Upon hearing this, the station director's face darkened even more.
What on earth did they bring in?
He stepped forward, and everyone then noticed that the document he was holding was the very one Mo Yilan had just taken in.
He strode up to Jiang Yao.
"Why should I? I'll make sure you die knowing why."
He then unfolded the document and began to reveal it point by point.
"At the beginning of the year before last, the incident at Xinhu Square where a pedestrian fell and died due to an illegal building was a news story that you, Jiang Yao, were in charge of. You privately accepted one million yuan from the person in charge, deliberately altered the report, concealed the fact that the building was illegally constructed, and even helped the other party smear the victim's family who were defending their rights at the same time."
In the middle of the year before last, you used your job of reporting on people's livelihood to specifically target interviewees who had committed minor offenses. You took advantage of their desire to keep quiet and demanded "hush money" from them, totaling more than 50 yuan.
At the end of the year, you embezzled 10 yuan of funds donated by your company to support projects related to people's livelihood and relief funds for interviewees.
Last year, you repeatedly sold exclusive news material from the TV station to some unscrupulous media outlets for money, leaking the station's topic selection plans and unbroadcast content...
As her crimes were exposed, her face grew paler.
The way her colleagues looked at her changed from initial disdain to disgust, and then to intense hatred...
I initially thought this person was just a little jealous, but I never expected her to be so heartless behind the scenes!
What kind of heartless bastards are these?! How could I have worked with them for so long?!
I feel like throwing up!
"Bang!" The station director finished reading and angrily slammed the folder onto the table.
"Why are you being arrested?! Say that again! I'd like to ask, what exactly has the station done to wrong you? Your performance isn't outstanding, but we've never dealt with you. Instead of being grateful, you're always eyeing others, jealous of their achievements, and doing these underhanded things behind their backs!!"
"No...no..." Jiang Yao's face was pale, and she still wanted to plead for mercy.
"I didn't!! These are all fake!! Yes!! They're all forged! You're framing me! You're trying to harm me using this method!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yao's gaze swept over Mo Yilan, who was standing not far away. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and she wanted to rush up and fight.
But the four or five security guards behind her were no pushovers either; they immediately grabbed her and pinned her to the table.
Jiang Yao struggled to no avail, and could only roar angrily at Mo Yilan.
"It's you! It's all your fault! Mo Yilan!! You're the one who ruined me!!! It's all your fault!!"
Mo Yilan calmly observed everything before her, her expression unwavering. She took a few steps forward and spoke with the same composed demeanor.
"I noticed something was off about you a while ago, and I've been observing you for a long time. I've just been too busy lately and almost forgot about it."
Luckily, your outing reminded me.
Don't worry, I'll make sure you get your revenge for that slap Yan Lele gave you.
When Jiang Yao met Mo Yilan's gaze, her teeth began to chatter, not just because of anger, but also because of a deep-seated fear—fear of Mo Yilan, fear of her life about to collapse.
Perhaps at this moment, she has already begun to regret it.
Why did she provoke Mo Yilan? She was no match for Mo Yilan at all; wasn't that a fact she already knew?
A commotion broke out at the office entrance, and police arrived at the scene.
Jiang Yao's legs went completely weak. If she hadn't been restrained by security, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Jiang Yao, you are suspected of multiple crimes including bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and infringement of trade secrets. We will now arrest you in accordance with the law."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the policemen took out a silver bracelet and stepped forward.
Jiang Yao's face was ashen, and she was trembling violently.
Even as the silver bracelets were put on her, she still didn't understand.
How did things get to this point? How did it turn out like this?
She was just going to work as usual, and only said a few sarcastic things to Mo Yilan when she was down...
How come I can't go home? How did I suddenly become a prisoner?
He faces an unknown amount of time in prison...
