Chapter 264 Did You Instigate This?

"The secretary...the secretary emptied the warehouse!" the assistant stammered.

Jin Mingyuan stood up suddenly: "What?"

"He moved all the goods overnight," the assistant wiped his sweat, "and took away the account books..."

Jin Mingyuan slammed his fist on the table: "This traitor!"

"Mr. Jin, what should we do now?" the assistant asked cautiously.

Jin Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Go find the Second Young Master."

Jin Mingxuan was sitting in the study reading a book. Jin Mingyuan pushed the door open and came in with a gloomy face: "Mingxuan, do you know about the warehouse?"

Jin Mingxuan said without even raising his head: "I know."

"Then you can still sit still?" Jin Mingyuan sneered, "Did you instigate this?"

Jin Mingxuan closed the book and said calmly, "Brother, do you really think no one knows about what you have done over the years?"

"What do you mean?" Jin Mingyuan narrowed his eyes.

"Embezzlement of public funds, false accounting, bribery of officials..." Jin Mingxuan stood up, "Any one of these things is enough to send you to jail."

Jin Mingyuan's face changed drastically: "You..."

"I have handed the evidence to the Anti-Money Laundering Center," Jin Mingxuan walked to the window, "Brother, stop it."

Jin Mingyuan rushed forward and grabbed him by the collar: "You ungrateful bastard! I'm your brother!"

"It is precisely because you are my brother," Jin Mingxuan looked at him calmly, "that I cannot bear to see you sink deeper and deeper."

"The Jin family has bribed many officials over the years,"

"The best is yet to come."

At this time, I was still in the office taking a break after the live broadcast. I rubbed my solar plexus and said to Xu Sisi, "How are you preparing for the anti-counterfeiting fund?"

"All the formalities have been completed," Xu Sisi handed over a document.

"The conditions for participation have been drafted and are waiting for your review."

I looked at it carefully and said, "Not bad, let's do it this way. We'll start the live broadcast this afternoon and announce it in person."

At 2pm, the second live broadcast started on time. I sat in front of the camera and greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am me. Thank you for your attention and support. Today, I want to officially announce something——"

She paused and continued, "The anti-counterfeiting fund will be officially established next Monday. All eligible consumers can apply for fund assistance. The specific conditions for participation and application process will be announced on Weibo later."

The comment section exploded instantly:

"Great! Finally someone speaks up for consumers!"

"I'm our savior!"

"The Jin family is going to be pissed off this time, right?"

At this time, Li Yunma walked into the live broadcast room. I stood up to greet her: "This is Ms. Li who defended her rights yesterday. She will be the first recipient of the fund and participate in our anti-counterfeiting campaign."

Li Yunma sat in front of the camera a little stiffly: "Thank you Miss Gu, thank you for your support."

The comments section was boiling again:

"Come on, Mama Li!"

“I’m so warm!”

“The anti-counterfeiting fund must persist!”

However, the Jin family did not stop there. Jin Mingyuan sat in the office, watching the live broadcast coldly: "Let them be proud for a few more days."

The assistant asked cautiously: "Boss Jin, what should we do next?"

"Contact that Li Yunma," Jin Mingyuan sneered.

"Let her stumble upon some 'truth'."

The next day, Li Yunma suddenly came to the company with a very bad look on her face. I was in a meeting and Xu Sisi received her.

"Ms. Li, what's wrong with you?" Xu Sisi asked with concern.

Li Yunma bit her lip and said, "I...I want to see Miss Gu."

I rushed over after hearing the news: "Ms. Li, what happened?"

Li Yunma suddenly became excited: "Miss Gu, why did you lie to me?"

I was stunned: "I lied to you?"

"Someone told me," Li Yunma's eyes were red, "you set up the anti-counterfeiting fund just for hype, you won't really help us at all!"

I frowned. “Who told you that?”

"I...I can't say." Li Yun's mother lowered her head, "But I think you are all the same, all for profit..."

I took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Li, I don't know what you heard, but I can assure you that the anti-counterfeiting fund is to help consumers like you, and there will be no falsehood."

Li's pregnant mother raised her head, her eyes full of doubt: "Really?"

"Really," I shook her hand.

"If you want, I can take you to see the preparation of the fund."

At the same time, Jiang Yichen's investigation also made progress. He sat in the study, looking at the documents in his hands, frowning.

Lin Nan came in: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yichen looked up at her: "I found out about grandma's friend."

"Who is it?" Lin Nan sat down next to him and learned what had happened.

"A distant relative of the Jin family," Jiang Yichen handed her the document, "and perhaps they also contributed to the group's previous financial difficulties."

I flipped through the documents, my expression becoming increasingly grim: “What are they trying to do?”

"I don't know," Jiang Yichen rubbed his temples, "but he definitely has bad intentions."

Over the next few days, things became increasingly complicated.

Although Li Yunma was temporarily appeased, the Jin family's actions became more and more frequent. My studio received complaints one after another, and the live broadcast was forced to be interrupted again.

"Sister Mo."

Xu Sisi said anxiously, "If this continues, we really can't hold on any longer."

I clenched my fists. “We can’t give up. We must persevere.”

At the same time, in the Jin family's office, Jin Mingyuan sat on a leather sofa, playing with a jade ring in his hand, with a cold smile on his lips. The assistant stood aside and reported in a low voice: "Boss Jin, Li Yunma has made arrangements. She agreed to help us steal Gu Mo's information. The condition is...her child's medical expenses."

Jin Mingyuan sneered: "Money is not a problem, as long as she can get the information." He paused, "What about the cleaning lady?"

"It has been arranged. She will report to us the progress of Gu Mo's studio at any time."

Jin Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "This time, I will make Gu Mo's studio completely bankrupt and never recover again."

At the same time, these days, seeing that Ms. Li had little income and had spent a lot of money on defending her rights, I asked her to help in the studio.

Thinking back now, everything was so deliberate. Li was always the last one to leave work, saying she wanted to learn more about the business; she often brought homemade snacks to her colleagues to say thank you for their care; she even remembered everyone's birthday, even the cleaning lady Zhang's.

"Mr. Gu, you are so kind to Li Wan."

Aunt Zhang was wiping my desk as she sighed, "She always said she didn't know how to repay you."

I smiled and continued to review the documents. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, shining on the Phalaenopsis orchid on the table, and the water droplets on the petals reflected colorful light.

Until that rainy night.

I worked overtime until 10 o'clock, and when I was about to leave, I heard a noise in the finance office. I pushed open the door and saw Li Wan standing in front of the safe with a cell phone in her hand.
