Chapter 2033: Chapter 2033: The Mysterious Person
Despite the legal department’s four members pledging to Mo Anna their resolution, finding a breakthrough remained extremely difficult.
Over the next long period, the four either ate and slept in the office or went to the pharmaceutical factory below to investigate.
As Mo Anna’s deadline drew nearer, the four felt increasingly anxious.
However, just then, the beautiful lawyer named Liao Shuyun finally made some progress in one of her investigations. During her visit to the factory, she discovered a sharp sword to break the deadlock!
Someone reported to her that the factory’s inspector had accepted bribes!
This incident, it can be said, happened by coincidence.
Liao Shuyun had been staying at the pharmaceutical factory for several days. One evening, as she was about to rest, she suddenly heard a knock at the door. Regardless of her inquiries as to who was outside, there was no response.
Her curiosity was piqued, and upon opening the door, she found no one standing outside, only an account book placed on the ground.
When Liao Shuyun opened the account book, she was immediately shocked by its contents!
Lingnan Pharmaceutical Factory had only been established for two years, and it had been cooperating with Cao Xin’s Cao’s Medicine Shop for merely half a year. Yet within this half year, Cao Xin had given the factory’s inspector a full two million in bribes.
He asked the inspector to do just one thing—to turn a blind eye to the medicinal materials he delivered to the factory.
It turned out that the materials Cao Xin sold to Lingnan Pharmaceutical Factory were all substandard.
To put it simply, it was a case of shoddy goods being passed off as good ones, earning him a huge profit.
Although Liao Shuyun did not know who had delivered this account book to her, she knew in her heart that with this account book, they could not only easily terminate the contract with Cao’s Medicine Shop but also claim a significant amount of penalty fees!
"Finally, salvation is here!"
Liao Shuyun tightly clutched the account book to her chest, her mood extremely elated.
But she quickly calmed down. After looking to both sides of the corridor, she swiftly closed the room door. As a professional lawyer, she had to ensure the safety of this account book.
To prevent any mishaps, after closing the door, Liao Shuyun began packing her belongings, preparing to rush back to Zhonghai City overnight.
She also called the other three members of the legal team, narrating the events that transpired. Upon learning about the existence of the account book, the other three members sighed in relief.
After all, they had previously made solemn pledges to Mo Anna, and as the appointed time approached with no breakthrough in sight, they were increasingly worried to the point of turning gray.
Fortunately, Liao Shuyun brought them good news, allowing them to finally sleep well tonight.
After the call, Liao Shuyun had already packed her luggage.
Taking advantage of the late-night silence, she quickly took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
If there were still flights to Zhonghai City at this time, Liao Shuyun would have surely chosen to fly back, as it would save road time and avoid potential mishaps mid-journey.
On the way back, Liao Shuyun tightly held the backpack containing the account book to her chest.
It was not until she returned to the company that she finally breathed a real sigh of relief.
Nowhere else in the world besides Qianqiu Group was truly safe.
After returning to the company, Liao Shuyun no longer had to worry about someone suddenly robbing the account book. She clutched the account book and spent the night on the office sofa.
The next day, everyone arrived at the company for work.
After the other three members of the legal team reviewed the account book, their tense hearts completely relaxed.
The four then went together to Mo Anna’s office.
However, Mo Anna was currently in Xiao Zheng’s office. Upon being informed by the secretary that Liao Shuyun and the other three were looking for her, she immediately thought of the task she had assigned to them.
"What’s going on?"
Xiao Zheng noticed her expression suddenly showing a trace of excitement and curiously asked.
Upon hearing this, Mo Anna said, "Do you remember ten days ago, I mentioned sending four lawyers from the legal department to investigate and collect evidence?"
"I remember, what’s going on?" Xiao Zheng nodded and inquired.
"They’ve returned, and they’re now in my office," Mo Anna said.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng finally understood: "You mean to say that the four of them might have found clues?"
"Exactly, are you interested in accompanying me to check it out?" Mo Anna asked with a smile.
Xiao Zheng would not miss out on such an interesting event.
The two quickly got up and left together.
Upon entering the office, they saw Liao Shuyun and the other three standing aside.
"Why are you all standing? Come over and sit." Mo Anna walked towards the lounge area while beckoning to the four.
The four were initially stunned upon seeing her enter.
Seeing Xiao Zheng following closely behind, their expressions instantly turned somewhat amazed.
Because the four knew that Xiao Zheng was the big boss of Qianqiu Group.
Thus, upon seeing Xiao Zheng appear, the four were somewhat nervous.
Xiao Zheng behaved very amiably, saying to the four, "Don’t just stand there. If we’re going to discuss something, we should sit. Otherwise, if we sit while you stand, wouldn’t that be awkward?"
Upon hearing his words, the four smiled and then sat opposite them.
After everyone took their seats, Mo Anna began: "Have you found any new progress coming to see me this time?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Shuyun took out the account book from her backpack and said, "Last night, after investigating at the factory, I was ready to return to the hotel to rest. But unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door late at night, and when I went out, I found this account book on the floor."
Mo Anna frowned slightly before taking the account book.
Xiao Zheng curiously turned his head, wanting to see what the account book contained.
After both of them finished reading the contents of the account book, their expressions instantly became somewhat dark.
Mo Anna closed the account book and asked, "Has the authenticity of this account book been verified?"
Upon hearing her words, Liao Shuyun immediately shook her head and said, "Not yet, because I was worried that matters regarding the account book would be exposed. So upon obtaining it, I immediately took a taxi back to the company."
Xiao Zheng and Mo Anna couldn’t help but furrow their brows upon hearing this.
