?Mobile reading A blast incident in the area undergoing relocation has drawn the police's close attention—this is the first such major explosion in Pingan City. During the cleanup of the wreckage, staff discovered fragmented remains resembling limbs. After thorough searching, two bodies were found, severely disfigured by the blast. Due to the inability to identify them, the bodies were handed over to medical examiners for identification and then matched against the missing persons list. As for the exact causes of death, however, no clues have been found. To maintain stability and public harmony, the police have not publicly highlighted the incident, aiming to avoid public speculation and anxiety. …… At the Municipal Committee Building, in the Secretary's office, Wu Dong arrived early for work. His first action upon opening his computer was to check his email for any new messages. When he saw the new email notification, he smiled. The email contained only a few words: "Financial issues exist—action is now required." He pulled it close to the trash folder and then crushed it. Then, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a few numbers casually: "Hello, Deputy Director Yang. The matter I mentioned last time—now we can proceed. Just remember to maintain a steady tone throughout; don't let the other party notice anything. Understood?" A voice came through the receiver: "Wu Secretary, don't worry—nothing will go wrong. By the way, what if actual issues are uncovered? After all, they're a flagship enterprise at both the municipal and provincial levels. If things go poorly, it could create a negative impact." Wu Dong's lips curled into a smile, and he said coldly, "I won't care what the outcome is. As long as issues are identified, we follow procedure. After that, no matter who asks follow-up questions, it's no longer your responsibility, is it?" "Understood." Wu Dong had just put down the phone, his hand still in the air, when the bell rang again. Who was that? Didn't they want him to have a moment of peace this early in the morning? He grew impatient and picked up the phone again. "Hello? Who is it? Brother Wu, how come you're calling me now? What do you need? Wait—Tianyu's gone missing? What exactly happened? Tell me clearly." After hanging up, his expression grew serious. Wu Tianyu had gone missing—along with his cousin Chen Sicheng. According to Brother Wu Chaozhi, Wu Tianyu's father had lost contact with him several hours after the cousin's disappearance, having last spoken to his uncle Chen Jinzhong. How could two fully grown adults vanish? And one of them was a retired officer—someone who could survive even in a remote, unpopulated jungle. Wait—two people had gone missing at the same time... Didn't there used to be two victims in the explosion incident a few days ago? Thinking of this, Wu Dong's heart began to race. A few weeks ago, he had encouraged his nephew, Wu Tianyu, to take on Qin Feng—had that young man really meant what he said? He had promised he would involve his cousin and that everything would go smoothly. Was something now going wrong? In truth, Wu Dong's intention had always been to create difficulties for Qin Feng, thereby giving more opportunities to his allies embedded within the Qin family group. He never imagined that his nephew, driven by a desire for revenge, would go so far as to hire someone to carry out a murder, even mimicking the human-wave attack seen in a terrorist incident—only to see it backfire himself. After much deliberation, Wu Dong made a difficult decision: he ordered DNA comparisons between the two victims of the explosion, Wu Chaozhi, and Chen Jinzhong, and quickly obtained the results. Audits are not uncommon—almost every year, there’s at least one or two instances—and for a large enterprise like Qin Group, they usually amount to mere formalities. This time, however, no notice had been received at all, which made her feel puzzled and slightly uneasy. She set aside her current work and personally went to the finance department with her assistant, Fang Fang. Upon seeing the CEO arrive, the finance manager quickly approached and said, “The visitors have brought an audit notice from the tax bureau. What’s unusual is that it’s from a district branch, not the city-level headquarters.” Typically, audits are conducted by headquarters personnel. Although the finance manager had some doubts, the visitors presented an officially stamped notice, so there wasn’t much they could say. The manager lowered her voice and added, “They’ve been very thorough—this doesn’t seem like a routine formality.” The finance manager wasn’t surprised by this situation at all; it was something she had experienced before and could judge instantly. Mei Hui nodded, indicating she understood. “Good morning. I’m Mei Hui, the CEO of the company.” "She smiled and greeted the tax officials: 'May I ask, who is in charge of this audit?' The man leading the group was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was immediately introduced by one of his assistants: 'This is Yang, our deputy director at the district office. According to instructions from the provincial tax bureau, we're conducting spot checks on major enterprises across the province.' Yang smiled warmly and said, 'Good morning, Ms. Mei. This is part of our regular duties—we'll certainly follow all procedures.' 'Very good,' Mei said, 'I'll leave you to get on with your work. I won't disturb you further. Goodbye.' Back in her office, she called a friend at the headquarters and learned that indeed, the provincial bureau had issued the audit notice. However, following the usual practice, the notice is typically issued directly from the provincial office to each district office, while the specific details—such as which companies to audit and how—were decided centrally by the municipal office. In other words, this audit of Qin Group's financial records was not arranged by the municipal office. Yet, for the district office, although it deviated from the usual practice, it was fully in line with policy requirements." It's no wonder we didn't receive any notice. The beautiful CEO's face was clouded with concern. She sensed this audit was far more complex than it appeared on the surface—Yang's remark about "procedural compliance" was merely a polite formality. After all, in such a large enterprise, who could guarantee their financial records were flawless? Once the other party raises objections, your finance team knows many data points are delayed, yet still has to provide a reasonable explanation. As a result, the finance department from top to bottom will be kept busy, even having to reconcile items one by one, disrupting the normal operating procedures. Even if they successfully manage to appease the tax authorities, the company will suffer significant impacts. This is exactly what Mei Hui is most concerned about. Now, negotiations with the world's leading automotive manufacturer are at a critical juncture, and any internal setbacks could prove to be a major loss.
