Then, Chen Changyuan quickly approached the group of people.
This time, Zhou Dazhu misled several villagers to the backyard of the base, attempting to create some trouble so that he could profit from it.
When Zhou Dazhu saw Chen Changyuan, he immediately put on a hypocritical smile and said, "Hey, brother Changyuan, let's take a look at your business. Look at how well it's growing."
Chen Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling disdainful of such a despicable trick.
He showed his familiar business smile and said coldly, "Everyone is welcome to give me some advice. But this is not an amusement park, so please be safe."
Zhou Dazhu waved his hand with a forced smile and said, "I know, we won't bother you."
After saying this, he led his men to another place, showing his unwillingness and cunningness.
At this time, Lin Xiaoya arrived quietly.
She pretended to wander around the edge of the base aimlessly, observing An Caicai's every move.
Looking at the other person working diligently, Lin Xiaoya gritted her teeth and felt an inexplicable jealousy in her heart.
Suddenly, she heard Chen Changyuan and Zhang Mazi talking in a low voice.
"Lao Zhang, we need to prepare that batch of medicinal materials in advance. This is a big deal."
Chen Changyuan seemed a little excited.
Zhang Mazi narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Changyuan, Mr. Wei and I are here, I guarantee that everything will be fine."
Lin Xiaoya watched from a distance, feeling sour in her heart. Jealousy and envy intertwined together, burning her to the point of suffocation.
Finally, she could no longer remain silent and walked to An Caicai in a casual manner.
"Hello, Miss An."
Lin Xiaoya had a fake friendly smile on her face.
An Caicai was a little surprised and responded politely: "Hello, what's up?"
Lin Xiaoya frowned and asked tentatively, "I heard that you're helping with the accounts here. I wonder if I can still help out in the future?"
A hint of alarm flashed across An Caicai's eyes, but she immediately concealed it impeccably. "That depends on the long-term arrangements. I'll listen to him."
This simple sentence made Lin Xiaoya's heart even more anxious.
Unwilling to admit she was at a disadvantage, she weighed the situation carefully, unintentionally commenting, "Changyuan is really not easy right now."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Xiaoya's words.
Behind Lin Xiaoya's resentful gaze, Chen Changyuan was arranging the patrol arrangements for the base workers as usual.
He knew that Zhou Dazhu would not give up, so he secretly dispatched personnel to strengthen patrols to ensure that any emergencies could be resolved immediately.
People come and go in the base, and everything seems to be normal, but it is not difficult to see from the workers' eyes that they are always alert.
Just before nightfall, Zhou Dazhui and others appeared outside the base.
They looked around and tried to sneak into the backyard intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Chen Changyuan was well prepared and quietly arranged countermeasures. Several workers quietly surrounded and blocked this group of guys with bad intentions.
"stop!"
A worker shouted, stopping Zhou Dazhu and others.
Zhou Dazhu frowned, but still refused to give up and tried to break the deadlock with his words, "We are just passing by, we don't mean any harm."
The workers were noncommittal, but Chen Changyuan approached them leisurely, smiling and speaking with conviction: "Zhou Dazhu, you always show up at critical moments. It's really hard for you. However, the base has its own rules. There are some places where you'd better not tread too deeply."
Zhou Dazhu smiled awkwardly, feeling unwilling but unable to come up with a strong excuse. He could only lead his men away in shame, but he felt more and more resentful.
While An Caicai was working at the base, she discovered another abnormal account record.
This was a question of the flow of a considerable amount of funds, which made her feel similar doubts as last time.
To this end, she no longer delayed and immediately reported the details she had found to Chen Changyuan.
The two gathered together. Chen Changyuan looked serious when checking the accounts, while An Caicai analyzed them attentively.
After discussion, the two decided to go to the county town in person to investigate the supplier's background.
Although the base is only in the village, they also understand that ensuring the transparency of fund flow requires more meticulousness and thoroughness.
"We have to get to the bottom of this."
Chen Changyuan said affirmatively.
An Caicai nodded, her eyes full of trust and another emotion that was yet to be determined.
"Yes, I'll feel at ease if I see it with my own eyes."
Chen Changyuan and An Caicai decided to go to the county town the next day.
The next morning, the two took the only early morning bus in the village and soon arrived at the small county town.
Although the county town is not big, it is crowded with people and the hawking sounds on both sides of the street make this small place seem particularly lively.
The two of them first had some breakfast on the street. While eating, Chen Changyuan looked at the people around him, thinking in his mind how to start the investigation.
An Caicai looked at him with a hint of worry and whispered, "Changyuan, where should we go next?"
Chen Changyuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and pointed to a seemingly dilapidated house not far away.
"That's the supplier's address listed in the accounts. Let's go check it out first."
The two men carefully walked through the crowd and soon arrived in front of the house.
As soon as they got closer, they keenly sensed that something was wrong.
The house had been in disrepair for a long time, and the door was covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.
Chen Changyuan pushed the gate open with force. The door hinges creaked, as if it had not been moved for some years.
"This place...I'm afraid it has been abandoned long ago."
An Caicai shook her head with a serious expression.
Chen Changyuan touched his chin, and his guess became more certain.
"It seems this is just a front. The so-called 'supplier' we're investigating is most likely just a shell company."
An Caicai frowned slightly and said softly, "This matter is more complicated than we thought."
The two of them quickly walked around the abandoned yard, but found no valuable clues, so they had to leave helplessly.
Walking on the street on his way home, Chen Changyuan clenched his fists and looked at me with certainty.
"Cai Cai, this matter cannot be underestimated. We must report it to the police immediately after returning to the village."
"I agree."
An Caicai nodded. Although she felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, she still had infinite trust in Chen Changyuan.
After returning to Qingshui Village, the two immediately went to the town police station and reported in detail what they had discovered in the county town.
The officer on duty looked solemn. After registering the necessary information, he said that he would send someone to investigate this suspected fraud case as soon as possible.
At this time, Chen Changyuan's expression relaxed a little, but his heart was not completely at ease.
"Cai Cai, now that we're done, how about I treat you to a nice meal tonight?"
An Caicai smiled slightly, "Okay, it's time to relax."
Chen Changyuan and An Caicai walked side by side on the way back to the village, and the setting sun made their shadows very long.
Chen Changyuan couldn't help but nudge An Caicai's shoulder lightly, smiling and saying, "Thank you for today. If you hadn't noticed it carefully, that account would have been easily overlooked."
