When Director Sun and Gao Xinpeng met Li Lin's gaze, they lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look him in the eye.

Meng Haiyi glared back at Li Lin confidently, because he didn't know that the person who was talking to Li Lin was his immediate superior. If he knew, he would probably be as nervous as Director Sun.

Yang Wanquan, who was standing aside, was extremely shocked at this moment, because he heard Li Lin call Hu Xiangdong uncle... He was actually uncle and nephew to the leader of the Provincial Taxation Bureau... This was terrible, Old Meng would probably be in trouble!

Unable to help himself, Yang Wanquan looked back at Meng Haiyi who was not far away, his eyes full of sympathy and pity...

Meng Haiyi was confused by Yang Wanquan's sudden gaze. He didn't understand the meaning for a moment. He opened his mouth to ask "What happened?", but felt it was inappropriate and swallowed his words back. Gradually, a sense of panic rose in his heart.

Li Lin continued to say to Hu Xiangdong, "Uncle Hu, Director Meng and Director Sun of the Pingyang Municipal Bureau are both here! No matter how the company explains, they insist on checking the company's account books and say they want to take the account books back for inspection... Since their actions are not in accordance with the rules, please give them an order, Uncle Hu."

Hu Xiangdong felt ashamed for having such an unruly person under his command. His chest was heaving with anger. Meng Haiyi and his gang had really brought shame to the tax bureau. They even dared to embarrass the son-in-law of Director Xu of Yanjing... They really wanted to save their lives! If this got to Director Xu's ears, he, the director of the provincial bureau, would also have to take responsibility!

Hu Xiangdong calmed down and said to Li Lin, "Nephew, don't worry about it! I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

Hang up the phone.

Li Lin smiled and looked at Yang Wanquan, saying, "Mayor Yang, I've finished my call. Director Hu said that he never agreed to Secretary Guo's request to withhold corporate taxes. Do you know what these people in the Municipal Bureau are doing now? They are enforcing the law in violation of regulations! Someone will punish them!"

Yang Wanquan was stunned, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say. At this moment, he just wanted to disappear from Li Lin's sight immediately, as if he had never appeared... He cursed in his heart, Guo Xuecai, this idiot, has really screwed him over! If the higher-ups were to hold him accountable, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him, the mayor, to lead people to enforce the law in violation of regulations? If this got to the ears of the provincial leaders, it would leave a bad impression on them, and how could he make progress in the future?

He now really wanted to raise his middle finger towards Guo Xuecai’s face and curse – Damn!

Li Lin felt more confident and walked towards Meng Haiyi, saying solemnly, "Director Meng, are you still investigating?"

Meng Haiyi remained tough and sneered, "Check it! I'm here to urge the audit. Who do you think you are? Can you stop our tax bureau from enforcing the law?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Check! If I don't check you today, don't even think about leaving!"

Then he said to the company's head, Yang Tong, "Go and bring your company's account books over for the leaders to review!"

Meng Haiyi felt proud and thought to himself, you are just a small county magistrate, and you want to give orders to me, are you worthy?

As he was thinking about it, his phone rang.

I took it out and saw that it was a call from Director Hu of the Provincial Bureau.
