Hearing the noise, Wei Caixia rushed out, fearing the two would start fighting.

From a young age, she watched her uncle and father fight, neither willing to give in, but in the end, they would drink together during holidays and become like brothers.

"Ten thousand yuan," Li Chenggong repeated.

He didn't say how much money he made, but hearing how much he paid in taxes, one could probably guess.

Moreover, besides expressing his gratitude, he also came today to show off in front of his brother-in-law.

He used to beat his sister because he felt that her family couldn't support her.

Wei Er nearly fell off his chair, swallowed hard, and rubbed his hands together.

"Success, can your small commodity business really make this much money?"

His eyes were full of hope, as if he could see money floating in front of him.

That day, Li Zhaodi came back from her parents' home and kept talking to him about it. He thought his brother-in-law had come up with another way to ask them for money.

"Not much," Li Chenggong said casually, picking up the bowl and taking a sip of wine.

It feels so good to be rich. My brother-in-law, who used to be so arrogant, now poured me a drink.

Otherwise, why would everyone rack their brains to make money?

Wei Er hurriedly took out some fried peanuts from the cupboard and placed them on the table.

"Tell your brother-in-law how you make money!"

"Is it really that easy to make money off foreigners?"

Li Chenggong picked out some unimportant things to talk about, just making things up as he went along. His brother-in-law was too old to cause trouble anymore and could only obediently work as a laborer.

Wei Ershou rested his hand on the severed thigh, his gaze towards him becoming even more complicated.

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. He thought his family was doing quite well, but who would have thought that even the street thugs had become bosses.

Wei Er didn't enjoy the meal, and kept drinking until both of them were flushed.

When Li Zhaodi returned home, the two were already asleep on the floor.

"What happened to your father that made him drink so much?" Li Zhaodi hurriedly stepped forward and helped her daughter to the mat next to them.

Wei Caixia was "emotionally traumatized and envious of her uncle."

She briefly explained what her uncle had come to say.

Li Zhaodi's thought process was quite peculiar: "So the Lin family is going to be in big trouble?"

She clasped her hands together, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Wei Caixia shook her head, "It's just a possibility. A factory as big as Hairun Electric would definitely not have tax problems."

Li Zhaodi, however, did not think so; she now believed in her younger brother.

"I'm going to eat at the village entrance." She filled her bowl with rice, buried all the vegetables at the bottom, and then went out.

…

Just then, Hairun Electrical Appliances City was about to close, and the broken glass at the entrance had been repaired in time.

Just as Fangjie was about to get into her car and leave, she saw several cars parked at the gate, and several people in uniforms got out.

Her brow twitched, and she closed the car door and jogged over.

"Get the staff out of there and seal the place up..."

Fangjie heard this as she approached, and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She felt uneasy because the accountant wasn't at work today.

The car belongs to the tax bureau. They're cracking down on tax evasion these days, so there must be a tax problem.

The main gate of Hairun Electrical Appliances City was cordoned off, and the side gates next to it were sealed off.

"President Mu, what happened? Why is the store suddenly closed?" Wei Ting had just returned from delivering goods and saw a group of people gathered around him, so he hurried over.

"Have you been issuing all the invoices you've recently received?" Fang asked instead of answering.

“I was just about to tell you, is the accounting department overwhelmed? If they are, they should hire more people. It’s been almost a month since they’ve been able to issue any invoices…” Wei Ting frowned.

After the gate was sealed, the cars immediately left, heading towards the electronics factory.

Mu Fang's expression turned stern. "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Electrical appliances are different from other products; invoices are sent with the goods, and no one is exempt.

The retail price includes taxes, which may not be written on the invoice, but the accountant will clearly indicate this in the accounting records.

Hairun Electric Appliances' repair department checks invoices for after-sales service.

“I can never remember it…” Wei Ting could tell from her expression that things were going badly.

Taxation is being strictly investigated now. Could it be that Hairun has tax problems?

Wei Ting recently saw tax inspections at the port, and several ships were ordered to stop operating.

Mu Fang rubbed her forehead, praying in her heart that the accountant hadn't done anything wrong.

They've been incredibly busy lately, only checking the accounts once a month, and unexpectedly, problems arose before the Lunar New Year.

And it just so happens that the incident occurred at Hairun Electrical Appliances City, which is the peak season for the electrical appliance industry.

Every family thinks about buying new home appliances for the Lunar New Year; missing this month means a significant loss.

Mu Fang didn't say much and immediately drove to the electronics factory.

…

Unbeknownst to her, Lin Ziyan received a phone call immediately after Hairun Electrical Appliances City was sealed off.

At that moment, the chubby girl was temporarily organizing the invoices from the electronics factory.

You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and the chubby girl almost flew into a rage.

The appliance factory has no original receipts for any of its invoices issued in the past month.

"Ayan, I check every week, and I've confirmed that I've seen the invoice." The chubby girl almost burst into tears.

With so many orders placed during this period, she had already handed over all the invoices to the accountant.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the document, raised an eyebrow, and slowly said,

"You read that right, there was indeed an invoice, it's just that the invoice stub is missing."

If the store is closed at this time, then S Appliances' branches in the city will definitely see a surge in sales.

"By the way, wasn't Director Ren supposed to come back before the New Year? Why hasn't he returned yet?" The chubby girl was very anxious.

I called the accountant's home, but no one answered.

Lin Ziyan then began packing her things, waiting for those people to arrive.

This is something one person couldn't do alone; even though tax evasion is strictly investigated, it wouldn't be this strict.

This trip was for the opening of the small commodities market and Hairun; perhaps someone is going to make an example of them.

"Ayan, is Director Ren away on another business trip?" The chubby girl paced back and forth in the office.

The accountant isn't here, the sales director isn't here, and the tax bureau is holding up the documents...

Just thinking about it gave her a terrible headache.

"Yeah, he went on a last-minute business trip," Lin Ziyan replied casually.

She looked outside and saw Li Chengbing rushing to his office.

"Mr. Lin, the tax bureau officials and police have arrived. They want you to come back and cooperate with an investigation..."

Li Chengbing almost tripped over the threshold as he entered the office, but managed to steady himself by grabbing the door frame next to him.

Lin Ziyan nodded, picked up her bag, and walked out.

She wanted to know what evidence they had that made them dare to shut down the store.

The economy of Fuzhou is developing smoothly now, and the higher-ups must have considered the significant impact of arbitrarily closing shops.

"Ayan, what are you going to cooperate with the investigation for..." The chubby girl hurriedly followed.

Li Chengbin grabbed her, "Quickly call Yun Shen, you can't help if you go out now."

The person who brazenly went to the factory must have some powerful backing.

What he found strange was that those people no longer seemed to fear the Lu family.

As the chubby girl watched Lin Ziyan get into the car with them, she gradually calmed down and quickly ran into her office to make a phone call.

Just then, the factory workers finished their shift and everyone rushed over to see what was going on.

Fang's car narrowly missed the police car, and she slammed on the brakes...
