Right after Second Brother finished, Third Brother started his own account too. He looked at Cheng Du with some disappointment.

In the end, he seemed to want to say something else. But he only let out a sigh, stopped, sat back in his chair, and stared blankly ahead.

The trace of guilt in Cheng Du's heart deepened a little more.

"Big Brother, I may not have the experience Second Brother and Third Brother have. I wasn't there with you at the very start of the company. But as Fourth Brother, what I've given this company is no less than what they gave."

"Back then, after your second daughter got married off, she went against filial duty and made a move on the company. The company's losses were terrible that year. Wasn't it me, Fourth Brother, who borrowed money from friends to fill that hole? Sigh..."

Fourth Brother pressed a hand to his chest as he spoke, sounding indignant. But at the end, his voice still fell into a dispirited sigh.

There was now a hint of disappointment in the way he looked at Cheng Du.

"I..."

The guilt in Cheng Du's heart sank even deeper.

"Big Brother, I may not have the same stories as Second Brother, Third Brother, or Fourth Brother. But everything I, Fifth Brother, have done for the company was sincere. At least five days a week, I'd stay late at the office working overtime to handle performance reports."

"Even if I had no merit, I still worked hard, didn't I? If I were the traitor, then why would I still love our company this much? Sigh..."

Fifth Brother spat out the gum he'd been chewing the whole time, then slumped onto the table in a daze, not sparing Cheng Du another glance.

"I... I..." Cheng Du didn't know what to say anymore.

At that moment...

Everyone looked toward Sixth Brother at the same time.

"Uh... B-Brothers, don't look at me... I'm really not the traitor..."

Sixth Brother, who had still been thinking about how to phrase things, instantly panicked. He awkwardly waved his hands and looked at the "brothers" around him.

"Come to think of it... Sixth Brother, you didn't seem to be at the company at all yesterday, right?" Second Brother narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Third Brother frowned, as if recalling something, then said, "Sixth Brother's name was on the late record."

"No... Brothers, don't say random things. I-I would never..."

"I noticed it a long time ago. Sixth Brother always liked staring at Big Brother's daughter, Yu An. But she rejected him before... so could it be..."

Fifth Brother cut him off. He narrowed his eyes at Sixth Brother, and the meaning in his words was obvious.

Sixth Brother was so flustered that cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He took off his glasses. Just as he was about to explain, Cheng Du interrupted him.

"Sixth Brother! Tell me the truth! Was it you who betrayed the company?!" Cheng Du looked at him with a face full of disappointment and fury.

"I..."

Sixth Brother panicked. He stammered for a moment, not knowing how to explain himself.

Smack!!!

The crisp sound echoed through the meeting room.

From Second Brother to Fifth Brother, all of them watched the scene in front of them with cold indifference.

Cheng Du raised his hand and slapped Sixth Brother hard across the face. Sixth Brother's fairly pale cheek instantly turned red.

He touched his face in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

A moment later, he raised his head. In his eyes as he looked at Cheng Du, there was now naked hatred. He stared at Cheng Du's face, then suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha... That's right. I'm the traitor..."

"You!!! Second Brother, you all deal with him. I'm tired..."

Seeing Sixth Brother admit that he was the traitor, Cheng Du covered his eyes and collapsed weakly into his chair, then waved a hand at Second Brother and the others.

However...

What he expected didn't happen.

Second Brother and the others also didn't obey him like they used to.

[What's going on?]

Cheng Du opened his eyes in confusion. His gaze shifted, and he saw in shock that Second Brother and the others had all stood up.

They looked at him with indifference and cold sneers.

"Sorry, Big Brother."

"Forgive us, brothers won't be doing that."

"Because."

"We."

"Are all traitors!" x4
