"An insider?" The security manager frowned. "This is no small matter; we must find out the truth as soon as possible. Strengthen security measures, investigate all employees, and don't let any suspicious person slip through our fingers."
"Yes, manager, I'll take care of it right away," the security captain said.
News of the Lin Group's increased security measures quickly spread throughout the company. Employees were abuzz with speculation, all wondering who had stolen the data.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yaozu felt even more uneasy. He knew that he was now under suspicion, and obtaining further information would become even more difficult.
Meanwhile, the police investigation into Lin Yaozu's fraud case has also made progress.
"Lin Yaozu, you are suspected of involvement in a huge fraud case. Come with us now." The police found Lin Yaozu and showed him the arrest warrant.
"Officer, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could I be involved in a fraud case?" Lin Yaozu said, trying to appear calm.
"Are you kidding me? We'll investigate this thoroughly. You'd better cooperate with us now, otherwise, it won't do you any good," the police officer said sternly.
Knowing he couldn't escape, Lin Yaozu had no choice but to obediently follow the police.
At the police station, Lin Yaozu confessed to his involvement in the fraud. He admitted that, in order to get revenge on Lin Fan, he collaborated with the "Black Gold" casino and used fake projects to swindle money from investors.
"Lin Yaozu, do you know that your actions have violated the law and will be punished by law?" the police officer asked.
"I know, I know, I regret it, I shouldn't have done it," Lin Yaozu said, weeping bitterly.
"It's too late to regret it now. We will deal with you according to the law based on the facts of your crime," the police officer said.
During the investigation, police also discovered that Lin Yaozu had close ties with several illegal organizations. These organizations are suspected of engaging in various illegal and criminal activities, and police are currently tracking these leads.
After learning of Lin Yaozu's fraudulent activities, Lin's father was so angry that he fell ill and never recovered.
"This unfilial son, how could he do such a thing? He's going to ruin our Lin family!" Lin's father said, lying on his hospital bed, heartbroken.
"Old man, don't get agitated. The doctor said you need to rest," Lin's mother advised from the side.
"How could I not be agitated? Our Lin family has always been clean and honest, yet we have produced such a spendthrift son. How can I face our ancestors after I die?" The father became more and more agitated as he spoke, trembling with anger.
"Dad, don't be angry. Yaozu was just confused for a moment. He will change," Lin Yaozu's sister, Lin Wan'er, advised from the side.
"A moment of confusion? He's so old, how could he be confused for a moment? I think he's a born bad seed!" Lin's father rebuked angrily.
Lin Wan'er dared not speak again, and could only silently shed tears.
The Lin Group is in chaos due to Lin Yaozu's incident. Employees are filled with anxiety and worry about the company's future.
Upon learning the news, Lin Fan had no choice but to suspend some of the work on the ocean project and return to handle family and company affairs.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll handle everything," Lin Fan said, comforting his father as he approached the hospital bed.
"Lin Fan, you must save your brother! He can't go to jail!" Lin's mother cried.
"Mom, don't worry, I will do my best to help him," Lin Fan said.
"Lin Fan, you must handle your brother's matter properly. And you also need to resolve the company's issues as soon as possible; we can't let the company collapse," Lin's father said.
"Dad, I know, I will." Lin Fan nodded.
Lin's Group Headquarters, President's Office.
The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could drip water.
Lin Fan sat behind his large desk, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the surface, making a "tap-tap" sound that added to the oppressive atmosphere.
"Smack!"
Lin Fan slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone present.
"A bunch of useless trash! What good are you? After such a big incident, you're all speechless?"
Lin Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that silenced everyone present.
These people were all senior executives and core members of the company whom Lin Fan had urgently summoned. Lin Yaozu's theft of data and suspected fraud had already caused a huge uproar within the company. If measures weren't taken quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Secretary Li, you go first! What progress has the investigation team made?" Lin Fan's gaze fell on his secretary, Li Wei.
Li Wei was promoted by Lin Fan. She is outstanding in ability and efficient in her work, and is Lin Fan's right-hand woman.
“President Lin, we have preliminarily reviewed the company's internal surveillance footage and employee entry and exit records. We have found some suspicious clues, but further verification is still needed.” Li Wei's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was also feeling immense pressure.
"Suspicious clues? Be more specific!" Lin Fan frowned and pressed for details.
"We discovered that during the period when the records room was robbed, several employees had unusual entry and exit records. Moreover, these employees had all had contact with Lin Yaozu," Li Wei reported.
"Have you had contact with Lin Yaozu?" Lin Fan's eyes sharpened further. "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! No matter who is involved, there can be no leniency!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Li Wei quickly replied.
Lin Fan then looked at the security manager: "Manager Wang, what security measures are in place?"
Manager Wang was startled and quickly stood up to report: "President Lin, we have strengthened the company's security measures. We have strictly controlled all entrances and exits, increased the frequency of patrols, and provided security training to all employees."
"That's not enough!" Lin Fan interrupted Manager Wang. "Re-examine the backgrounds of all employees, especially those in key positions. Also, completely upgrade the company's monitoring system to ensure there are no blind spots!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I'll take care of it right away!" Manager Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly.
Lin Fan then turned his gaze to the company's legal department head: "Attorney Zhang, what progress has been made on the legal front?"
Attorney Zhang is an experienced senior lawyer, and Lin Fan specifically hired him to handle the company's legal affairs.
"Mr. Lin, we have filed a lawsuit in court, demanding the recovery of the funds defrauded by Lin Yaozu and holding the relevant personnel legally accountable. At the same time, we are also actively cooperating with the police investigation and providing relevant evidence," Attorney Zhang said calmly.
"Very good!" Lin Fan nodded. "Tell the police that the Lin Group fully supports the investigation and will not cover up any illegal or criminal activities!"
"Understood, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Fan looked around and said, "Everyone, this incident is a huge challenge for our Lin Group. But at the same time, it is also an opportunity—an opportunity for us to completely eliminate internal hidden dangers and achieve a complete transformation!"
