This murder was thus completely exposed by a man who had been deceived and was now enraged.
Before a case is solved, the police will not release the existing evidence to the public, but they can still understand the progress of the case from some of the police's actions.
After the police arrested Du Xuemei and several others, Shi Jing and her friends learned that the case of the truck driver's murder had been closed. Now, the police were investigating the mastermind behind the hired killer.
The people arrested so far are merely participants in the murder process, not the real masterminds.
Shi Jing couldn't help with this kind of thing. During this time, her mind was on classes and on Ge Yue and Wang Han, who were still in the ICU and the special care ward.
Wang Han was lucky; after spending a few days in the intensive care unit and her condition completely stabilized, she was transferred to a regular ward. To facilitate her recovery, Shi Jing specially arranged a private room with a dedicated caregiver.
Ge Yue spent a full week in the ICU before her symptoms gradually stabilized. To be on the safe side, the doctor recommended staying in the hospital for two more days, and Shi Jing completely followed the doctor's advice.
Her mind was focused on this, so she didn't pay much attention to what was happening at the company. Until two weeks later, a news story suddenly went viral.
"Top-tier celebrities Xiang Wan and Ye Qing have been accused of tax evasion, and their management companies may be accomplices!"
"Shiyun Film & Television has evaded taxes amounting to 100 million yuan, and the tax authorities have launched an investigation!"
This happened so suddenly that the company was completely unprepared. When the tax bureau officials came knocking, the story also went viral online.
Upon seeing the news, Jin Ye'an immediately contacted Shi Jing.
Everyone in the company knows that this small boss is incredibly wealthy and arrogant, evading a hundred million in taxes. Who does he think he is!
The company always pays the taxes on behalf of its signed artists, and the artists only receive the after-tax amount, so there is absolutely no possibility of tax evasion.
Shi Jing heard the news during a break between classes, right after finishing her lesson.
As soon as class ended, some students in the large classroom immediately pulled out their phones to check gossip. Suddenly, a female student exclaimed, "Holy crap, Xiang Wan evaded taxes! My idol has fallen from grace?!"
Shi Jing, with his sharp ears, immediately heard these words.
She raised an eyebrow, puzzled. There couldn't possibly be another person named Xiang Wan in the entertainment industry, could there?
What does it mean for Xiang Wan to evade taxes?!
Shi Jing recognized the girl who had just spoken, so he asked, "Yu Jia, you said Xiang Wan evaded taxes, where did you see the news?"
"It's trending on social media, almost at the top," Yu Jia replied. As she spoke, she quickly tapped and typed on her phone, passionately posting.
Shi Jing took out her phone, which she had kept on silent during class. As soon as she turned it on, she saw over a dozen missed calls. Before she could even look at who was calling, her phone rang again.
It's Miao Chen.
Shi Jing answered the call immediately, holding the phone to his ear: "What's going on?"
Miao Chen briefly explained the situation on the trending topic, and then said, "Boss, the tax bureau has suddenly come to our door, saying that the brokerage company is suspected of tax evasion and needs to be investigated."
"So sudden."
Things unfolded without warning, forcing Shi Jing to suspect that someone had done something behind the scenes.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Reporting a company for tax evasion is not based on mere words; the whistleblower must have some kind of evidence.
However, Shi Jing was very certain that his company's accounts had always been clear and that all income had been taxed on time. How could there suddenly be a situation where someone was evading taxes?
Thinking of this, she immediately thought of the company's finances.
To ensure clear accounting, all companies under Shi Jing's name have relatively independent finances. If there are problems with the brokerage company's accounts, then the company's finances will definitely be implicated!
Have you contacted the finance department?
"We've tried contacting her, but we can't reach the finance manager, Ms. Zhang."
Hearing this, Shi Jing understood everything. Even if Sister Zhang wasn't the mastermind, she was probably still involved.
Thinking of this, Shi Jing decisively said, "We will fully cooperate with the tax authorities in conducting a tax audit to ensure that there are no problems with the brokerage company's other accounts."
"Notify the General Finance Department to conduct a tax audit of the remaining companies."
"Also, call the police immediately."
“Okay,” Miao Chen replied immediately.
He immediately carried out the order upon receiving it. As Shi Jing's secretary, he was primarily concerned with the company's interests. Jin Ye'an, however, was more anxious. After all, Xiang Wan and Ye Qing were artists who valued their reputation above all else. If the public perceived them as disgraced artists, it would be a severe blow to their future careers.
As soon as Miao Chen hung up the phone, Jin Ye'an called.
It was almost time for the next class, but the matter was urgent. She told her roommates, who all knew about Shi Jing's company and understood that she was in a hurry to deal with the matter and didn't want to waste a second, so they quickly asked her to leave.
She quietly slipped out the back door and answered Jin Ye'an's call.
"Hey, Sister Jin."
"Boss, did you see the trending topics?"
“I’ve already heard from Miao Chen.” Shi Jing first briefly explained the situation, then said, “You don’t need to worry too much about this. The company has always paid its taxes diligently and never falsifies anything on tax issues. This time, it’s probably someone who’s sabotaging things behind the scenes.”
Jin Ye'an naturally thought so too. But now that the tax authorities have come to their door and the topic is trending on social media, it will obviously have a very negative impact.
“I believe the company wouldn’t do such a thing, but now the matter has become a trending topic, and Xiang Wan and Ye Qing’s names have been pinned to the top of the search results. Both of them are very anxious right now. If it’s not handled in time, it could have a very negative impact.”
“I understand,” Shi Jing said.
She herself has been a fan of celebrities, so she understands the importance of an artist's reputation and the timeliness of clarifying rumors.
"Okay, I'll contact Zhang Sumu. He'll give you some information. Go through it, and if there are no problems, just post it on Weibo."
"Information?" Jin Ye'an was puzzled. She knew that Zhang Sumu was in charge of a charity foundation. What could he possibly have to do with their entertainment industry?
"Yes, those two had just become very popular. I thought that since our company's artists had just become famous and weren't in a hurry to make money, I wanted to do something good for them."
"So..." Jin Ye'an suddenly thought of something and hesitated before speaking.
"Oh, I've calculated all the money they've earned for the company in the past two years, and added some more. Let's say each of them donated 100 million."
The main reason was that Shi Jing's income had increased significantly during that period, with 10 billion in mission rewards arriving in her account. She allocated 2 billion according to the standard she had originally set. Thinking about it, she still had quite a lot left, and since she wanted to accumulate some merit for the company's artists, she simply donated it.
In order to accumulate funds as soon as possible, she specifically instructed Zhang Sumu to prioritize the use of this donation. Now, the money should have been put into use.
"..." Jin Ye'an was silent for a moment before replying, "Okay."
