As he spoke, he swiftly activated speaker mode on his phone and switched over to WeChat.
To his astonishment, dozens of people were messaging him on WeChat. He couldn’t fathom how he had arrived in Dubai and why so many were trying to reach him.
However, he had no time to ponder that now. He quickly navigated to his friends’ circle and scrolled until he found Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s apology letter.
With a quick tap, he opened the image and scanned it hastily, but as he did, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, making the world spin around him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
He never anticipated that Zhang Ermao (Cade) would publicly air this matter in the friends’ circle, and even include his name! Wasn’t this going to be the end of him?
Fury bubbled inside Jacob as he shouted, “Zhang Ermao (Cade), what on earth are you doing?! Are you trying to ruin me by posting this on Moments?!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied, “President Jacob, I’vee to realize the gravity of this situation. I personally apologized to Boss Zhou earlier for my mistake, and I will not meddle in this matter any further. You should also make amends as soon as possible.”
Jacob was beside himself with rage, gripping his phone tightly and ring at it. The microphone at the bottom red, “Zhang Ermao (Cade)! You need to delete this post immediately! Then create a new post to refute these rumors, stating that you deliberately framed me and that I, Jacob, had no involvement whatsoever!”
With a calm demeanor, Zhang Ermao (Cade) responded, “I’m sorry, President Jacob, but I can’t delete anything, nor can I make any new posts.”
Jacob was taken aback by Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s defiance and retorted angrily, “Zhang Ermao (Cade)! If you refuse to delete it, I’ll call my son-inw and have him order you to do it!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) chuckled and said, “Then go ahead and call Master Wade and see what he has to say.”
Afterward, he continued, “By the way, President Jacob, I have other matters to attend to, so I can’t chat longer. But I must remind you, what we did is indeed fraudulent. It’s best if you return the stolen funds to my brother’s card through the original route, and have my brother return the money to Manager Zhou. Otherwise, this will turn into a big mess, and it won’t end well for you.”
“What the hell!” Jacob eximed, his anger boiling over. “If it doesn’t end well for me, it won’t end well for you either!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied confidently, “I didn’t take any money! The three hundred thousand came directly from my little brother’s card to you. I didn’t touch a cent or take any action.”
“Right now, I’m merely an aplice, and my involvement isn’t too severe. Unlike you, I took the initiative to apologize publicly and have received Boss Zhou’s forgiveness. It’s really a hassle, but if the situation esctes, Boss Zhou might give me a letter of understanding, and I’ll likely be fine.”
“However, your situation is different. The amount you’re dealing with is significant. If things go awry, not only will you have to refund the money, but given your age, you could end up serving a few years, which isn’t worth the trouble.”
Fear gripped Jacob as he quickly asked, “What should I do to stay out of trouble?”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) simply said, “Just refund the money and offer an apology while you’re at it.”
