61: Chapter 61 The Company Was Reported

"What happened?!"

Shen Yan asked while getting out of bed, throwing off the covers.

The sound from Chen Guangke's end was very noisy, as if he was busy doing something, and he didn't answer Shen Yan's question.

Seeing this, Shen Yan had no choice but to hang up the phone and rush to the company without even having time to change out of his hospital gown.

Just as he ran out, Liu Hui came in carrying porridge.

"Huh? Where did he go?"

The hospital room was empty.

No one answered her question.

Arriving at the company, Shen Yan ran upstairs.

At a glance, he saw several strangers in police uniforms.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

Those people sized him up, then asked Chen Guangke:

"Is this your boss?"

Chen Guangke nodded, leaned close to Shen Yan's ear, and asked, "What's going on? Why are you still wearing a hospital gown? Are you sick?"

Shen Yan gently pushed Chen Guangke.

"That's not important. First, tell me exactly what happened."

Just as Chen Guangke was about to speak, those strangers spoke up.

"We'll explain it to you. Someone reported that your company is engaged in tax evasion. We need to verify this with your company."

"Impossible!"

Shen Yan denied it without hesitation.

Their company had only just been established and hadn't even seen any income yet; how could they possibly be evading taxes?

"Could this whole thing be a misunderstanding? Our company was just established not long ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, those people directly interrupted him.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know after an investigation. Please give us your company's account books so we can verify them."

"During the verification period, your company cannot continue operations."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened, and he shouted, "On what grounds?!"

"The company isn't evading taxes at all. This is clearly someone framing us. Go investigate the person framing us instead of stopping us from working!"

Shen Yan restrained the agitated Chen Guangke and said to the inspectors:

"I apologize. He isn't directing this at you, but our company is genuinely rushing a rather important project right now, and it's inconvenient to halt work at this time."

"How about this: can you inspect while we continue working?"

The inspectors refused their 'bargaining'.

"We aren't trying to make things difficult for you, but this is the regulation. Please try to understand our work."

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation on this matter,

Shen Yan had to instruct the Finance Department to hand over the account books to the relevant authorities first, and then told the other Employees in the company to go home and rest for two days.

Seeing all the Employees leave, Chen Guangke angrily slammed his fist onto the desk.

"What are you doing?"

"Did the desk provoke you? Why are you taking your anger out on it?!"

Wu Ya, unable to stand Chen Guangke's behavior, directly criticized him.

"Then who else can I take my anger out on besides the desk?"

Chen Guangke felt utterly wronged.

This was a critical period for software development. Suddenly being told they couldn't work—how were they supposed to launch the software before the end of the month?

Shen Yan understood Chen Guangke's meaning. He patted Chen Guangke's shoulder and said, "Alright, don't get too worked up. The cart will find its way when it reaches the bridge. Let's just wait for now."

Chen Guangke didn't understand.

This situation was clearly someone deliberately sabotaging their company.

If they really just waited, wouldn't that mean they fell right into someone else's trap?

He voiced his thoughts.

"Then do you have a good solution?" Shen Yan looked directly into Chen Guangke's eyes, "Even if we really find the person sabotaging our company, what can we do?"

Chen Guangke opened his mouth, rendered speechless.

Indeed, even if they found that person, there was nothing they could do.

They still had to wait.

But even if it was useless, he couldn't swallow this insult.

"Enough. Stop brooding by yourself. I have this matter under control; I will resolve it as quickly as possible."

"It's a good opportunity for you all to rest since you've been tired lately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ya couldn't hold back and asked Shen Yan, "Are you sick?"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing he was still wearing his hospital gown.

"Oh... It's nothing. I just have a bit of low blood sugar."

Wu Ya wanted to show a bit more concern but felt it was inappropriate.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Shen Yan sighed.

"Alright, just do as I say. Take this opportunity to rest well, and come back to work in a couple of days."

"Don't worry, I will resolve this matter as quickly as possible so the software can launch on schedule."

After assuring them, Shen Yan returned to the hospital.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as Shen Yan entered the hospital room, he saw Liu Hui sitting by the bedside.

Liu Hui turned around and picked up the lunchbox, saying:

"Didn't I say I would bring you porridge?"

"Where did you just go?"

Shen Yan briefly explained the situation at the company.

After listening to the explanation, Liu Hui frowned and asked:

"Could it be that scheming Chen Ling again?"

After asking, she felt her words might have been inappropriate and added:

"I'm not saying this because I'm hostile towards her. I just think she's the only one capable of targeting your company."

Shen Yan first took a couple of sips of porridge, complimented how good it tasted, and then replied, "I also suspect it's her. It's probably nine times out of ten, right?"

Liu Hui blinked, then asked again:

"Then why are you still so calm?"

Shen Yan let out a light chuckle, raised his eyes to look at Liu Hui, and said:

"Because being anxious is useless. Don't worry, I have this matter under control."

"Oh right, thank you for the porridge."

Liu Hui smiled sweetly, "You're welcome. If you like it, I'll make more for you next time."

Shen Yan didn't respond.

After finishing the porridge, he went to handle the discharge procedures.

Returning home, Shen Yan took out the paper and pen from his bag to review the situation.

He first drew a circle on the paper.

The circle represented the tycoon system.

The tycoon system was currently updating.

The last piece of ordinary wealth intelligence before the update was asking him to stand on the main road downstairs from the convalescent home for five minutes.

He stood there, but he couldn't hold on and fainted, ending up being sent to the hospital.

Was the ordinary wealth intelligence wrong, or was it because he fainted that he couldn't receive the money from the ordinary wealth intelligence?

Shen Yan drew a large question mark inside the circle.

Immediately after, he drew three horizontal lines outside the circle.

These three horizontal lines represented ordinary wealth intelligence, advanced wealth intelligence, and major wealth intelligence, respectively.

From the intelligence he had received, he could roughly categorize these three types of intelligence as: direct money windfall, money-making opportunities, and investment opportunities.

Just as he was about to continue his review, a text message arrived on his phone.

It was from Wu Ya.

["Brother Shen, are you free? Can we meet up to talk?"]

Actually, even if she hadn't sent this text, Shen Yan was planning to find her to discuss things.
