Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 989: Chapter 52: Wang Shouzhe! You and I are irreconcilable_3 Chapter 989: Chapter 52: Wang Shouzhe! You and I are irreconcilable_3 The Yan clan members once again extended invitations, but Gongsun Hui insisted on handling matters impartially and would not be swayed. With no alternative, the Yan family had no choice but to let her do as she wished.

Soon, the financial department led by Gongsun Hui took up residence in the Yan family’s main residence and began auditing a series of assets prepared for the capital injection and restructuring plan.

Initially, the Yan family thought Gongsun Hui was merely going through the motions since they had never heard of the financial terminology she used. However, they quickly realized how formidable Gongsun Hui was.

The team she brought with her consisted of elite financiers she had spent decades gradually cultivating, all of them experts in asset auditing and project auditing.

“Chief Accountant of Yan Clan,” Gongsun Hui said to an elder, “there are discrepancies in the accounts for the twenty thousand saltmarsh sheep in your salt pan ranch. Please explain.”

“Chief Accountant of Yan Clan, there are obviously a large number of workers collecting unearned pay in your pottery industry, and the productivity there is extremely low. First, all these people must be completely removed from the asset restructuring. Second, I will reduce our valuation of your pottery industry’s output. It’s not worth the substantial funds Keep Achieving Commercial Firm is investing.”

“Chief Accountant of Yan Clan, as far as I know, your No. 5 cinnabar mine, No. 16 aluminum mine, as well as the No. 29 spirit stone mine have all been emptied long ago. Why are they still listed in the assets?”

She did not overlook any doubts, scrutinizing every detail and every item.

This was not her first time involved in mergers and acquisitions or asset restructuring. She understood all too well the intricacies within the industries of prominent families. With a millennium-old family like this, internal corruption was inevitable. Without caution, one could be easily deceived, and the padding in their accounts was substantial.

While cooperation was important, Keep Achieving Commercial Firm was investing, not engaging in charity, and would not indulge the bad practices of certain individuals within the Yan clan.

The operations of Keep Achieving Commercial Firm were always transparent and clear.

Following that, all the parasites, embezzlers, and bribe-takers in the Yan family who had been collecting unearned pay were uncovered by Gongsun Hui’s team in a very short amount of time.

These people were almost everywhere, with no industry under the Yan family’s name spared.

The accounting team of the Yan family was nearly driven mad, and the Family Head, Hong, was so angry he almost jumped with rage, while even Old Ancestor Yan Yufei was somewhat stunned.

It was inconceivable that the Yan family, already in such a state, had so many corrupt individuals at the bottom. It was as if they wouldn’t rest until the Yan family was entirely hollowed out!

“Investigate! No matter who it is, thoroughly investigate to the end!” Old Ancestor Yan Yufei roared angrily, “Anyone who dares to resist secretly, or intervenes, I, Yan Yufei, will personally enforce family law.”

Old Ancestor Yan Yufei highly valued the cooperation with the Wang family and saw it as the hope for the Yan clan’s resurgence. Now, the rottenness within the Yan family was fully exposed before Wang Shouzhe’s father’s first wife, causing him utter embarrassment.

This also strengthened his resolve to thoroughly reform the Yan clan from within.

While chaos reigned within the Longzuo Yan clan, as they struggled with their deep-rooted internal issues and a glimmer of revival began to emerge, the Wang family was gradually dominating Longzuo, stirring up the world’s situation.

Almost at the same time.

On the battlefield beyond the borders.

Unlike the lush and prosperous Great Qian Land, the sky above the battlefield beyond the borders was perennially shrouded in a fog of evil Qi generated by war, grim and desolate.

The Demonic Qi that seeped from beyond the borders also tainted this land, where practically nothing grew. Even the few resilient plants that managed to survive, once infected by the Demonic Qi, mutated, becoming twisted and dangerous.

This place was barren and perilous, wholly unsuitable for human habitation.

Yet it was here that humanity stood as the front line against the invasion of demons from beyond the borders. Thanks to the existence of this battlefield, and countless people bravely fighting to the death, demons were unable to invade this world, allowing humanity to thrive peacefully within their domains.

Among the mist of evil Qi, numerous military camps were sparsely scattered.

Occupying these camps were armies from different countries and forces, among which there were even some individuals who joined the war under personal banners, nominally affiliated with different factions, accumulating military merits by slaying enemies.

Above one of the larger camps fluttered the Azure Dragon banner, symbolizing the Great Qian Land.

This camp was the main base of the Great Qian Land on the battlefield beyond the borders. Besides this camp, the Great Qian Land had several other strongholds on the battlefield, from which support could be provided from various directions in the event of a battle.

Inside the camp.

On the square near the camp gate stood a huge bronze pillar, on which the bloody corpse of a large demon, impaled by a blood-stained spear, was affixed to the bronze pillar.

This was a high-level demon with an exoskeleton covering its body.

It had long been dead, the large spines on its back losing their luster, the metallic gleam of the exoskeleton covering its body was badly damaged, and even the robust tail was left in half. Yet even so, its corpse still carried a chilling and majestic aura, and despite being long deceased, it still exuded a terrifying presence, striking fear into the hearts of many.

High-level demons were formidable, with cultivation reaching the pinnacle equivalent to human Divine Realm Powerhouses, making them exceedingly difficult to deal with.

The high-level demon on the bronze pillar was a trophy of the Great Qian military, a martial plaque. Displaying it served both to boost morale and to deter demons from beyond the borders.

On the watchtowers at the four corners of the camp, a pale yellow halo spread out, dispelling the evil Qi fog within the camp and also illuminating the surroundings.
