The police arrived quickly. As soon as the people from the Economic Investigation Bureau arrived, they took away the accounts of the Red Star Orphanage. I would also like to ask Accountant Xu and his wife to go back and investigate.
Accountant Xu and his wife were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they refused to go with the police no matter what. Accountant Xu covered his chest and said he was about to have a heart attack. Go to the hospital immediately.
Accountant Xu is in his fifties. This is exactly the age when a woman’s fighting power is at its peak. She was throwing a tantrum in the orphanage. Although the police received a call, they did not dare to be too tough as the case was unclear. In order to avoid being criticized and questioned by the public.
Besides, Accountant Xu insisted that he had a heart attack and needed to go to the hospital, and they couldn't determine whether Accountant Xu really had a heart attack. I can only help call the emergency number.
The students from Beijing Film Academy who were originally doing volunteer activities looked at each other in bewilderment. I didn’t expect that they would get to watch a big show for free before the voluntary teaching even started.
Just when the quarrel was getting out of hand, a question was heard coming from the door of the orphanage: "What happened?"
It turned out that Dean Tao was sent back by Liu Yaomengqi after finishing his physical examination.
Accountant Xu, who was covering his chest and saying that he had a heart attack, rushed to Dean Tao and held Dean Tao's hand tightly: "Dean Tao, please persuade Tao Mu. Is he going to call the police to arrest me?"
"Ah?" Dean Tao was stunned and looked at Tao Mu anxiously, "What's going on? Why did you call the police when everything was fine?"
"President Tao, I was the one who called the police." Li Xiaoheng stepped forward again and said, "I found that there was something wrong with the accounts of the Red Star Orphanage. So I called the police directly."
"President Tao, please don't listen to their nonsense. You signed every item in our orphanage's accounts. What could be wrong?" Accountant Xu covered his chest sadly, "They just don't trust me. They insist that I tampered with the accounts. President Tao, you signed and confirmed all the accounts in our orphanage. Don't you know if there are any problems?"
"Yes!" Even at this time, Dean Tao still spoke for Accountant Xu: "Is there any misunderstanding here? Accountant Xu does the accounts of our orphanage. Every time she does the accounts, she will report to me, and I will sign and confirm it. It has been so many years, and there is no problem. If you don't believe it, you can go and check it out."
A hint of joy flashed across Accountant Xu's eyes. She didn't expect that Dean Tao would cooperate with her so well.
How stupid!
But it's better to be a little stupid. The dumber Dean Tao is, the safer she is.
"Did you hear that? All the accounts have been signed and confirmed by Dean Tao himself. All the expenses and income of the orphanage are checked by Dean Tao. Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe Dean Tao?"
However, it was too early for Accountant Xu to be happy.
Tao Mu had expected that, given Dean Tao's personality, he would definitely not watch Accountant Xu being taken away by the police. In a previous life, someone questioned the orphanage’s accounting on the Internet. It was also Dean Tao who first stood up to testify on behalf of Accountant Xu. She is an upright person with a clear conscience and has never done anything wrong in her life, so she doesn't believe that anyone can throw dirty water on her. The reason why she stood up to speak for Accountant Xu was because she firmly believed that those who are innocent will be innocent and she would not allow others to slander them.
Unfortunately, Dean Tao does not know that in this era when self-media and marketing accounts are rampant in order to gain traffic and profit, the principle that the innocent will be cleared of all charges no longer works. Instead, the saying "three people make a tiger, and many mouths can melt gold" has replaced it. What's more, the colleague she wanted to protect was the accomplice who wanted to frame her.
In the end, Dean Tao was forced to take the blame one after another due to the collusion between Accountant Xu and his wife and the unscrupulous developer, and even died in an ambulance without being able to defend himself.
In this life, Tao Mu certainly can't let this happen: "Dean Tao, I know you are kind-hearted and don't want to doubt your colleagues. After all, we have been together for so many years. I don't want to doubt Aunt Xu either. But I believe that Xiaoheng Capital's audit department will not make mistakes. So I think we should cooperate with the police investigation. I believe that the police will never wish for a good person. Of course, they will never let a bad person go. "
Tao Mu said this and glanced at Accountant Xu meaningfully: "By the way, Aunt Xu, does your heart still hurt? I heard you speak with full energy just now, so do you still want to go to the hospital?"
Accountant Xu: “…”
Liu Yao and his wife, who were hiding in the back, almost laughed out loud. This kid in their family is really bad from the inside out.
At this point, everyone present could basically conclude that Accountant Xu was pretending to be sick. The policeman almost laughed out loud, but he quickly suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "If you want to go to the hospital, that's fine. The ambulance has already been called for you. Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up? We can record your statement in the ward."
Before he could finish his words, an ambulance drove up to the outside of the orphanage with a "whoosh".
Accountant Xu: “…”
The police left with the account books and Accountant Xu and his wife. Dean Tao, as the director of the Red Star Orphanage, was also involved in accounting issues and had to give a statement according to procedure. However, Director Tao's attitude was relatively cooperative, and two police officers stayed in the orphanage and recorded the confession directly.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Dean Tao not to leave Yanjing in the short term. During the investigation of the case, they may need Dean Tao's assistance at any time. I hope President Tao can cooperate.
Dean Tao would certainly not leave Yanjing. She believed she had a clear conscience, and she also had to take care of the children in the orphanage.
During this time, Liu Yaomengqi took advantage of others not paying attention and dragged Tao Mu to a corner, saying that they had prepared enthusiastic "reporters" and would tell the police about Accountant Xu's family buying a house on the Third Ring Road.
Accountant Xu and his wife are particularly cunning. The couple embezzled public funds to buy a house, but because they were afraid of being discovered, they did not use their own names. Instead, he used the name of Uncle Qian's sister.
Uncle Qian’s sister is Qian Guihua, and she is fifty-six years old this year. Her husband died early, and she has no son, only a daughter who is studying at a university in another city. Qian Guihua favors boys over girls and is very mean to her own daughter, but takes very good care of her brother's son. Over the years, Accountant Xu and his wife have been working outside, and Qian Guihua has been at home serving their family and taking care of her nephew. Even the house left to her by her husband after his death was transferred to her nephew's name. Judging from the perspective of later generations, Uncle Qian’s sister is a typical Voldemort.
Therefore, the house that Accountant Xu and his wife bought with embezzled public funds was registered under Qian Guihua's name. This was also the reason why, despite the huge news about the deficit in the accounts of the Red Star Orphanage in the previous life, no one found out that it was Accountant Xu and his wife who were responsible - in addition to the fact that the unscrupulous developer helped cover it up, it was also because Accountant Xu himself was cautious.
In the previous life, no one knew where the missing money went, and Director Tao personally admitted that she signed and confirmed every account of the orphanage. If she doesn't take the blame, who will?
Unfortunately, in this life, Tao Mu was already prepared. People were sent to keep an eye on Accountant Xu and his wife for about half a year. When Accountant Xu and his wife were completely unprepared, they thoroughly investigated the couple and their close relatives and friends. In the end, they obtained all the evidence of Accountant Xu and his wife's embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds.
Now everything is ready, we just wait for the program to be broadcast and cause a strong response in society.
Tao Mu not only wanted Accountant Xu and his wife to plead guilty, but also wanted them to experience the sadness and despair of Dean Tao who had a heart attack and died with his eyes open after being scolded by hundreds of thousands of netizens.
The facts were just as Tao Mu expected. That night, when the program crew posted the post-production video to the barrage website, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens.
The number of hits exceeded 100,000 in just one hour. A large number of netizens who clicked in because of the theme of "handsome men and beautiful women donate love and warmth" and wanted to feel the warm and sweet love of humanity felt the impact of a "suspenseful crime-solving film plus a legal program" at the very beginning of the program and were a little confused for a moment.
After the initial confusion, the desire to eat melons hidden deep in my heart immediately erupted. No matter at what stage, news about embezzlement of charitable funds will always be the social hot spot that the general public pays the most attention to.
Orphanage, orphans, public welfare, donations, embezzlement of public funds for personal gain, these words are like stimulants that stimulate the adrenaline rush and instantly capture all the attention of the netizens.
As time went by, more and more netizens posted comments under the video. Some said they recognized the orphanage director and Accountant Xu and his wife in the show, saying that they were both very good people and very kind, and would not do such a disgusting thing. By the way, I also shared with many netizens the touching stories of President Tao and Accountant Xu.
Especially Director Tao, who has been working in the orphanage since her husband died. She worked diligently all her life and even did not get married or have children in order to take care of the children in the orphanage. He devoted his entire life to the orphanage and even used his salary to subsidize the orphanage. It's simply a character with boundless love.
Of course, because of the plain yet loving speech given by Accountant Xu and his wife in front of the camera, many netizens also believe that Accountant Xu and his wife are not the kind of people who would embezzle public funds.
Here Tao Mu also played a trick. After Feixun.com failed to release the police, Accountant Xu and his wife exposed themselves in those clips. Therefore, in the eyes of many netizens, Accountant Xu and his wife are as kind as President Tao.
However, within a few days of this statement being made, someone revealed that he had seen Accountant Xu and his wife at the sales office a few years ago. The whistleblower claimed to be a sales lady and had an impression of Accountant Xu and his wife. This was because when the couple came to buy a house, the name on the property title was actually the man’s sister’s.
"Because this kind of thing is so rare, I was particularly impressed. After all, a brother who is already married and has a career in his 50s actually bought a house for his single sister. It's really enviable. Now that I think about it, there may be something fishy about this matter."
As soon as this comment came out, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens. A large number of people left messages in response, expressing their own opinions under this comment. Some people insist on believing that those who are innocent will be cleared of all charges, while others suspect that Accountant Xu and his wife are trying to cover up their crimes. The two sides responded to each other and pushed this comment directly to the top of the homepage.
Some netizens called on the police to investigate the sister who bought the house: "It sounds incredible to buy a house for a sister in her 50s. Maybe the money for buying the house was embezzled from the orphanage's donations, and they were afraid that the incident would be traced back to them, so they put the house in the sister's name."
"It's very possible! We live downstairs from the couple, so we're old neighbors. The elder sister treats her younger brother's family very well. She also favors boys over girls. I heard that she transferred the only house she had to her nephew's name. Because of this, her daughter went to college in another city and didn't come back for several years."
As public outrage grew online and attention increased, the police also began to pay more attention to the case.
Although Accountant Xu's accounts were kept concealed. However, after careful review by professionals, the huge deficit of 1.07 million gradually surfaced. There was indeed something wrong with the accounts of the Red Star Orphanage.
While the police were closely checking the accounts, a courier was anonymously mailed to the police station.
When they opened it, they found all the evidence that Accountant Xu and his wife had taken advantage of their positions in finance and purchasing to collude with insiders and outsiders to intercept donations to the orphanage. This includes photos and recordings of people intentionally purchasing inferior goods as good ones, colluding with suppliers to raise supply prices and then splitting the profits. There are even two photos of Accountant Xu and his wife taking Qian Guihua to the sales office to look at houses. There is also a CD with a video recorded on it, which clearly shows Accountant Xu and his wife paying at the sales office.
Accountant Xu and Purchasing Manager Qian work in an orphanage, and their monthly salaries are fixed. They simply don't have the money through normal channels. So where did the money to buy the house come from?
With irrefutable evidence, the police immediately announced the arrest of Accountant Xu and his wife, and even Qian Guihua.
As the police took action, Feixun Entertainment, which had been following the case all the way, also uploaded the progress of the case and the evidence that Accountant Xu and his wife embezzled public funds for personal gain to the Internet. Combined with the righteous speeches by Accountant Xu and his wife at the beginning of the program, it was really a different experience.
At this time, at Tao Mu's suggestion, Feixun.com also released the second episode of the show, including the full performance of Accountant Xu and his wife in the show.
Netizens once again felt the anger of having their IQ fooled. How good my initial impression of Accountant Xu and his wife was, how deeply I hate them now. Of course, some netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction with Feixun.com's deliberate omission of the truth. Tao Mu explained that "Before the truth comes out, Feixun.com does not want to release controversial clips to avoid affecting netizens' views on Accountant Xu and his wife."
"News media should focus on reporting facts. Before the case is fully resolved, any inappropriate video clips may mislead netizens about the parties involved. After all, the parties in the video are not public figures, and the program shot by Feixun.com is not a documentary. Since the truth of the facts cannot be guaranteed, they should not blindly release the video for the sake of hype. Especially before the police issue the results, Feixun.com's casual reporting is likely to cause unnecessary pressure on the parties involved."
Seeing Tao Mu's personally-written "New Media Declaration", everyone, including Li Xiaoheng, was shocked at Tao Mu's thick skin.
Even the future richest man, who is very well-educated and reserved, couldn't help but swear: "You really have no shame at all!"
If he didn't know what Tao Mu was going to do, or if Tao Mu wasn't so gloating when he was typing this manuscript, he would really believe it.
But no matter what, Accountant Xu and his wife became the rats crossing the street as Tao Mu expected, and everyone shouted and beat them - it was a pity that Accountant Xu and his wife did not feel the pressure of being cursed by hundreds of thousands of netizens.
Because just when netizens were excited, this greedy couple was also put into detention. This time, what awaits them will be prosecution in court.
