Looking at the night view outside the window, Meng Yanchen secretly resolved to uncover the true nature of the mysterious investment group, no matter the cost. Fan Shengmei sensed the unwavering determination emanating from him and, without asking further questions, silently tightened her grip on his hand. A moment later, Meng Yanchen turned back to his desk, turned on his computer, and began carefully examining the suspicious clues. A secret investigation was about to begin.
Inside the office, soft lighting illuminated Meng Yanchen's desk, the only sound the gentle hum of the computer tower. Meng Yanchen stared intently at the screen, his eyes bloodshot. He had been studying these clues for hours, his desk piled high with documents. As the investigation deepened, he discovered more and more leads pointing to collusion between personnel within the Fu Group and a mysterious investment group. A financial statement caught his attention; several large sums of money flowed suspiciously. What appeared to be normal business transactions had bypassed the company's standard approval processes, and the recipients were shell companies closely linked to the mysterious investment group.
Meng Yanchen frowned, his fingers flying across the keyboard, trying to find more connections from the massive amount of data. He was well aware of the sensitivity and seriousness of the matter; if the news leaked, it would not only alert the perpetrators but could also cause panic within the company. He picked up the phone and whispered to his secretary, "Contact Attorney Chen from the legal department. Tell him to come to my office in ten minutes. Remember, don't make a sound." After hanging up, he fell into deep thought again, constantly sorting through the clues he had gathered, trying to outline the entire incident.
In the next office, Fan Shengmei, though busy with work, was preoccupied with Meng Yanchen. She noticed that Meng Yanchen had become preoccupied and his behavior had been somewhat unusual since last night. Usually, Meng Yanchen would consult her about his problems, but this time he seemed unusually silent. She couldn't help but get up and quietly walk to Meng Yanchen's office door. Through the glass door, she saw him frowning at a pile of documents. She hesitated for a moment, then gently knocked on the door and went inside.
"Yanchen, are you alright?" Fan Shengmei asked softly, her eyes filled with concern. Meng Yanchen looked up, forcing a smile, "I'm fine, Xiaomei, what brings you here?" Fan Shengmei walked to his side, looking at the documents on the table, and asked suspiciously, "What are these? Are you in some trouble?" Meng Yanchen's heart skipped a beat, wanting to tell Fan Shengmei what had happened, but he swallowed the words back. He knew the danger of this matter and didn't want Fan Shengmei to get involved. "It's just some routine company business, don't worry, I can handle it," Meng Yanchen said, trying to sound relaxed.
Fan Shengmei looked at Meng Yanchen, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. She felt that Meng Yanchen was deliberately hiding something from her, as if a veil had suddenly appeared between them. "Okay, if you need any help, be sure to tell me," Fan Shengmei said, turning and leaving the office. Meng Yanchen watched her retreating figure, feeling a pang of guilt, but he knew he had to do it.
Attorney Chen from the legal department arrived quickly. Meng Yanchen closed the door and told him everything he had gathered and his suspicions. Attorney Chen's expression turned grave: "Mr. Meng, if there really is collusion between internal personnel and the mysterious investment group, this will be a huge crisis for the company. We must proceed with caution, gather sufficient evidence first, and then take action." Meng Yanchen nodded: "That's what I think too. Investigate the people involved in these fund flows for me, and keep it absolutely confidential." Attorney Chen solemnly agreed, took the documents Meng Yanchen handed him, and left the office.
Over the next few days, Meng Yanchen outwardly continued handling company affairs as normal, but secretly he was conducting an intensive investigation. He and Attorney Chen collected evidence through various channels, gradually identifying several suspicious individuals. Although these people did not hold high positions in the company, they possessed some crucial information and had the opportunity to collude with the mysterious investment group. Meng Yanchen arranged for someone to secretly monitor them, closely observing their every move.
Inside the company, everything seemed calm; employees went about their work as usual, and no one noticed the storm brewing beneath the surface. However, beneath this tranquil facade, Meng Yanchen felt an invisible pressure. He didn't know if these suspicious individuals had sensed the danger, nor what the mysterious investment group's next move would be. He could only cautiously advance the investigation, waiting for the opportune moment to make his move.
Although Fan Shengmei didn't press Meng Yanchen further, her doubts deepened. She noticed that Meng Yanchen often stayed in the office after work, and his eyes always betrayed an unnatural unease whenever he saw her. She decided to find the answers herself. One day after work, she deliberately lingered at the company and saw Meng Yanchen and Lawyer Chen having a private conversation. She quietly hid to the side, trying to overhear what they were saying.
“We’ve basically confirmed that these individuals are prime suspects, but we still lack crucial evidence.” Attorney Chen’s voice was low, but Fan Shengmei still vaguely heard a few words. “Continue the investigation. We must find the evidence as soon as possible; we can’t let them get away.” Meng Yanchen’s tone was very serious. Fan Shengmei was startled. She realized that Meng Yanchen was indeed doing something very important behind her back, and it seemed to be related to certain people within the company.
Fan Shengmei returned home, her mind reeling. She couldn't understand why Meng Yanchen had kept it from her. Did he not trust her? Or was the matter truly too dangerous? Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, Meng Yanchen's serious expression and the words she had vaguely heard constantly replaying in her mind. She decided to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Meng Yanchen; she didn't want this matter to create a rift between them.
Meanwhile, Meng Yanchen was still fretting over the investigation in his office. Although he had identified suspicious individuals, finding conclusive evidence was no easy task. These people seemed to be on guard, acting even more cautiously. Meng Yanchen rubbed his temples, looked out at the dark night sky, and secretly vowed to find the insiders colluding with the mysterious investment group and protect the Fu Group.
Will Meng Yanchen be able to find the insider colluding with the mysterious investment group? How will Fan Shengmei react after discovering Meng Yanchen's concealment? Everything is still unknown, and the undercurrents within the company are becoming increasingly turbulent.
