Chapter 1462: Chapter 1452: Ambush

Linda. chuckled dismissively, saying, ”You’re probably being too sensitive! I gave you so many invoices in the last report, how could you remember all of them?”

”I’m always confident in my memory. Alright, let’s not talk about it. Go get me the company’s recent financial statements and bring the invoices related to the concurrent planning explanation!”

Assistant Linda quietly exited and prepared all the materials Jiang Cheng requested, delivering them to him within five minutes.

Jiang Cheng initially only glanced at the financial statements, feeling there was nothing amiss at first glance. However, as he looked more closely, he sensed something odd, though he couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

”Linda, call up Deputy Director. Have him come to my office immediately.”

Jiang Cheng dialed the internal line of the company office.

The Deputy Director knocked and entered, asking, ”President, you called for me?” Jiang Cheng replied, ”Hmm. Take a quick look at this statement. I find it a bit strange! I’ll first check the attached invoice explanation.” Jiang Cheng said to the Deputy Director who had just rushed over.

As Jiang Cheng flipped through the invoices, he felt increasingly uneasy, and his brow furrowed gradually.

Wasn’t this invoice collected last time? Why are the location, time, and events identical to the invoices submitted last time?

Jiang Cheng roughly counted and discovered that over a hundred invoices were identical, each amounting to five or six digits.

”Come take a look at this!” Jiang Cheng’s voice resonated within the spacious office.

At the same time, the Deputy Director’s deep voice echoed alongside Jiang Cheng’s, shattering the office’s silence: ”Check this.”

Jiang Cheng raised his hand, saying, ”You explain first!”

”You see, these accounts, though they appear correct on the surface with hardly any discrepancies, have obviously been manipulated afterwards to make the figures fit. Look at this entry; it completely mismatches the actual events!” The Deputy Director pointed at a particular page on the statement.

Simultaneously, Jiang Cheng flipped to the appendix of the invoices indicated by the Deputy Director, discovering that not only did the expenses on the statement mismatch the real events, but also contrasted sharply with the invoice content.

”See this, I’ve received these invoices before, and when I came in this morning, I found my drawer with the invoices had been tampered with!” Jiang Cheng said, his tone grave.

The Deputy Director patted Jiang Cheng’s shoulder, saying, ”Looks like we’ll have to bother the team for a ’tour’!”

Jiang Cheng nodded, watching the Deputy Director inform the investigation team and commercial investigation team via phone report.

”Linda, bring Director Liang from the finance department up!” Jiang Cheng went to the presidency office and personally instructed.

Linda was a bit puzzled, asking, ”Bring? Shouldn’t I invite him?”

”Ignore semantics; I mean you bring Director Liang here personally!” Jiang Cheng explained.

Assistant Linda, seeing Jiang Cheng’s stern expression, ceased her flippant attitude, and promptly went to ’invite’ Director Liang up.

”Jiang... Chairman Jiang, is there something you need from me?” Finance Director Liang asked hesitantly.

Jiang Cheng looked at Director Liang with a sinister smile, saying, ”Just wanted a chat, why so tense?”

”Hahaha, being the President, with your youthful achievements, your aura naturally differs from others, intimidating without force. Of course, I’d be nervous, hope you understand and don’t hold any grudges!” Director Liang flattered Jiang Cheng sitting on the boss’s chair.

Jiang Cheng heard a commotion from outside, saying, ”It’s not me looking for you today, it’s them!”

Director Liang turned his head, immediately spotting several team members and investigators from the commercial team standing outside the door.

”We’ve received a report from your company, suspecting you of embezzlement; please cooperate and come with us!” The team leader among the group spoke to Director Liang.

At this moment, the Deputy Director rushed in saying, ”Team members, please hold on. I’ve just checked all the financial department’s statements and found Director Liang of our company’s finance department engaged in tax evasion and has pocketed funds meant for taxes! Alright, Director Liang, please come along!” The team leader said again. However, Director Liang was no pushover! Anyone entering Xunteng Company under Jiang Cheng’s management is exceptional.

Director Liang shook his hand, saying to the team members, ”Based on your suspicion of my crimes, I can apply for bail and have my lawyer engage with you! Even if you’re going to detain me, it must wait until 24 hours after the incident!”

Although Jiang Cheng and others hoped to bring Director Liang to justice faster, they couldn’t do anything against legal constraints.

They could only wait till the next day.

Upon returning home, Director Liang gathered the gold taels stored in the home’s safe, and called his children and wife back home.

”Quickly pack your belongings and move all movable assets, head to Australia immediately, don’t linger, I’ll arrange someone to meet you there!” Director Liang instructed his family.

Director Liang’s wife couldn’t help but question anxiously, ”What happened, why the haste?”

”Don’t worry about it, the car is already outside, head to the airport immediately!” Director Liang pushed his wife towards the villa’s exit.

Elsewhere, the Boss had just disembarked and hadn’t cleared security when he received a report from the investigation team about Jiang Cheng’s company.

Coincidentally, he was familiar with Director Liang of the company’s finance department, having met his wife and son once.

Half an hour later, inside the airport.

”Hey, aren’t you Mrs. Liang? Where are you hastily heading?”

The Boss spotted Director Liang’s wife and said.

Mrs. Liang was flustered, replying, ”Boss, the children wanted to play, so I’m taking them to Australia for a vacation.”

How unfortunate to run into the Boss, what should I do now?

”Aren’t the children not on vacation yet? You’re letting them skip school just to play?” The Boss questioned Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang pursed her lips, suddenly her mind blank like short-circuited, unable to respond.

”Alright, I’m aware of Director Liang’s situation, so you can’t leave now! Guards, take Mrs. Liang and them down!” The Boss said to Mrs. Liang and the guards.

Meanwhile, Director Liang quickly heard of his wife and child’s apprehension by the Boss, thwarting their escape plans, compelling him to devise a self-rescue strategy.

On the other front, the Chief told Jiang Cheng about the situation, and Jiang Cheng promised to treat the Boss to dinner that evening.

Night, at the Paris Left Bank restaurant.

”Boss, thank you for apprehending Director Liang’s family today, he’s indeed cunning!” Jiang Cheng smiled and engaged in small talk.

The Boss chuckled, saying, ”What are you talking about, from now we are friends, mutual assistance is expected!”

Throughout the meal, Jiang Cheng continued his verbal sparring, engaging the Boss in friendly exchanges.

On the way home, an unexpected incident occurred; a gunshot rang out, and Jiang Cheng’s car was hit with a bullet. Jiang Cheng frowned, but fortunately, his car was prepared with bulletproof features.

Jiang Cheng quickly opened the system, spotting Director Liang at a distance holding a gun aimed at his windshield.

Jiang Cheng immediately activated the advanced defense system and full 360-degree high-definition recording mode within his car.

”Hello, team members, someone is shooting at my car on District 385 Road!” Jiang Cheng called.

Recognizing Jiang Cheng’s call, the team expedited their actions, arriving at the scene in under half an hour, swiftly apprehending Director Liang, who held the gun.
