Chapter 333 Investigation Storm
Chapter 333 Investigation Storm
After winning the patent lawsuit, Song's stock price rose to the daily limit for several consecutive days, and my unease as I sat in the office grew heavier.
The glaring red numbers and overwhelming news reports on the computer screen continued to flash incessantly.
Just then, Assistant Luo pushed open the door and shouted, "Director Zhang, the stock has hit the daily limit again today! You're the pillar of our company now!" "Look at this! You're on the front page! The focus of the financial section! It's all about you!"
As he spoke, he tossed several newspapers onto my desk, a bright smile spreading across his face.
Without looking up, my fingers flew across the keyboard. "How long can this trend last? It's just a bubble. Our company's cash flow is still being held together by Lin Qiuran's collateral."
“Look at these trading volumes, do you think this is normal?” I pointed at the screen. “Isn’t this the old trick of pumping and dumping? We need to be careful not to get trapped by capital.”
Assistant Luo pulled out a chair and sat down, his smile fading slightly. "That's true. So what do you suggest we do? What's our next move? We can't just sit here and watch, can we?"
"What other options are there? Let's check the accounts first and stabilize the internal core." I stopped what I was doing; the densely packed transaction records on the screen were dazzling. "We need to thoroughly understand the situation first. This is a very complex matter."
I pulled up my chair and leaned forward. "Is there any new lead on Yu Zhe's case?" He leaned closer, his voice low. "What's going on with those suspicious accounts...?"
“This is the preliminary report we just received from the internal audit department,” I said, pushing a folder in front of him.
"Look for yourself, the internal audit department has discovered some interesting fund flows that are linked to overseas accounts. Those bastards are really capable, and they're quite efficient."
Assistant Luo quickly opened the document and eagerly began to read it.
"This... so much money? All at such a close time... it was all transferred to offshore accounts? This amount..." He paused, his fingers moving across the page. "They really dared to do this!"
"Yeah!" I leaned back in my chair, feeling like my neck was about to stiffen.
"Moreover, I made some inquiries indirectly, and these accounts all point to one person—Yu Zhe is most likely running his own private slush fund. This brother-in-law usually seems quiet and unassuming, but I never expected him to be so ruthless."
"It's him again?" Assistant Luo clicked his tongue, his expression complicated. "Why can't this Mr. Yu just behave himself!" He frowned.
"This kid is inherently a troublemaker!" I exclaimed, but then I thought, does he even have the brains for it? I feel like... he's being used as a pawn.
"I refuse to believe that no one orchestrated this." I almost said to myself.
“How dare Yu Zhe do this? Moreover, I always feel that the person who wrote that anonymous letter is probably connected to Madam Song’s old subordinates.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps and an uncontrollable commotion came from outside the door.
Immediately afterward, the door was flung open, and a junior employee, his face pale, rushed in, panting, "General Manager Zhang! Assistant Luo! The Discipline Inspection Commission investigation team... is here! They're downstairs! There are so many people!"
Assistant Luo and I exchanged a sudden, sharp glance, and the air seemed to freeze instantly. The excitement on his face vanished, replaced by utter astonishment.
I jumped to my feet, my hand trembling uncontrollably. I took a deep breath, thinking that what was coming couldn't be avoided.
"What's the panic?" Assistant Luo was calmer than me. He stood up and patted my arm. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Go and take a look."
We hurried towards the main conference room. Even before we reached the door, we sensed something was off.
Pushing open the door a crack, sure enough, several people were already sitting inside, their expressions serious and unsmiling.
That unique aura made the air on the entire floor feel heavy.
I stopped at the doorway, subconsciously straightened my suit, and then slowly pushed open the conference room door.
These past few days, Xiaoxiaotian's condition has been weighing heavily on my heart. The doctor is urging us to have surgery as soon as possible, as time is of the essence.
That's no minor surgery; the costs and risks are both uncertain.
While I had to deal with the wolves and tigers here, I also had to keep my mind on the hospital and try not to reveal any weaknesses to anyone.
For Xiaoxiaotian's sake, I must hold on.
During a break in the meeting, the air loosened a little. Song Yafei took the opportunity to lean closer to me, her voice low, "You did a good job this time, you stabilized the situation." She paused, a hint of appreciation in her eyes, "Keep it up."
"Don't worry." I looked into her eyes and replied softly, "What's meant to happen will happen. But you, don't be too nervous." The worry in her eyes was undisguised, and her complexion wasn't good either.
The investigation is still ongoing, and we are all cooperating. No matter what the outcome, there will always be a solution, I told myself silently.
"Get ready for the demonstration," I said to Assistant Luo, then turned on the computer and looked at the monitor on the table.
Take a deep breath and get to work.
As my fingers tapped on the keyboard, complex data flow graphs began to appear on the screen, with nodes and lines intertwined like an invisible net, gradually outlining those shady transactions.
Everyone in the conference room focused their attention on the screen, and the atmosphere became tense once again.
I instinctively gripped the mouse tighter, but the scene before me began to shake, and a familiar stinging sensation came from my retina.
"Here we go again," I muttered under my breath.
He then raised his head, meeting the probing gazes of the crowd, and said, "As you can see, there are indeed some aspects of the flow of these funds that... are worth exploring in depth."
Everyone was surprised.
I know that to them, this might seem like a joke. The investigation has led to Yu Zhe, implicating the Song family internally, and everyone is afraid of getting burned.
But I also know that this is precisely the problem we must face and solve. If we can't solve it, none of us will have a good life. If this ship sinks, no one can escape.
"Trust me, things will turn out well," I whispered to Song Yafei beside me.
For the sake of the Song family, for the sake of Yafei and Xiaoxiaotian, I have no way out.
Just then, the leader of the investigation team suddenly stood up, holding a letter-like object in his hand, his expression extremely serious.
"Zhang Tian, come out here for a moment. We need to talk privately."
