395: A Showdown

At this moment, Han Xiaoguo's face showed more displeasure, while Xiang Guangming's expression was filled with more guilt.

This behavior was related to their level of education.

Han Xiaoguo, having had little schooling, was only worried about the exposure of the matter and tried to argue, hence her displeasure; Xiang Guangming, being educated, knew that his withholding of information indirectly harmed others, hence his guilt.

“How do you know everything?” Xiang Guangming asked in surprise.

“What could he possibly know? He must be bluffing us,” Han Xiaoguo glared at Xiang Guangming unhappily and said with a huff.

“Do I need to bluff you?” Liu Xiaolin smiled and pulled out the file bag, “I’ve already collected a lot of evidence.”

“What evidence? Let us see,” Han Xiaoguo reached out, intending to snatch the file bag.

“Why should I let you see it? What will you exchange with me for this evidence?” Liu Xiaolin pulled his hand back and put the file bag back into his bag.

“What do you want to know?” Xiang Guangming asked with an unreadable look in his eyes.

“I want to know why you issued fraudulent invoices?” Liu Xiaolin asked directly, “Issuing two invoices for the same batch of outgoing goods must have a reason.”

“Once you know the truth, you’ll be trapped like us and won’t be able to get out,” Xiang Guangming sighed deeply and said.

“You don’t need to worry; I can help you.

As long as you tell the truth and cooperate with me, I will ensure you get what you want,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, “You should know how many companies I currently have, right? You know that the cash flow of the companies I founded is very stable, right?”

“Of course, we know, that’s why we wanted to talk to you today,” Seeing that the other party had already started to use his assets as leverage, Xiang Guangming also spoke frankly.

“Good, I know what you’re most worried about is that if something goes wrong, you might lose some assets.

On this point, I assure you that as long as you cooperate with me, you will not only not lose anything but will also receive all of Cai Chenghan’s shares,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“Really?” Han Xiaoguo and Xiang Guangming asked in unison, their eyes filled with expectation.

“Yesterday, when the three of you had a meeting, were you discussing how to handle Dr. Hai’s shares?” Liu Xiaolin smiled slightly and then said, “Was Cai Chenghan planning to take over all of Dr. Hai’s shares by himself?”

“How did you know?” Han Xiaoguo asked in surprise.

“Don’t worry about how I know.

Right now, I’m asking the questions, and you’re answering, alright?” Liu Xiaolin took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.

“Alright, ask whatever you want!” Han Xiaoguo felt a bit convinced seeing Liu Xiaolin’s confident and determined demeanor.

“Does General Manager Xiang agree?” Liu Xiaolin looked at Xiang Guangming again and asked.

“I also agree, you can ask, and we will certainly tell you everything we know without reservation,” Xiang Guangming said.

“Very good, then I will start asking questions now, and I hope you answer seriously, because this is crucial to whether the two of you can stop being exploited here,” Liu Xiaolin looked at the two in front of him and said seriously.

“Don’t worry, we will say everything and hide nothing,” Han Xiaoguo said.

At this moment, she also didn’t want to hide anything for Cai Chenghan, and perhaps Liu Xiaolin already knew everything.

If she concealed anything, it might lead to Liu Xiaolin only trusting Xiang Guangming and no longer trusting her, which could then lead to unnecessary losses for herself.

“Alright, first question, why did Cai Chenghan issue fraudulent invoices?

I think it wasn’t just because Dr. Hai went abroad at the time and he took the opportunity to frame him, right?

There must have been another reason, and he coincidentally found this point to frame him, right?” Liu Xiaolin asked.

“Do you know Director Tan of the Yuhai City Development Committee, who recommended Cai Chenghan to cooperate with General Manager Hai at that time?” Han Xiaoguo proactively answered the question, “You certainly wouldn’t know this person, he is now the Deputy Mayor of Yuhai City, because during his tenure as director, the economic output value of the Yuhai City Development Zone experienced rapid growth, and his political achievements were outstanding, so he has been promoted.”

“Is issuing fraudulent invoices related to him?” Liu Xiaolin immediately caught on, “Rapid economic growth? Does that mean he deliberately instructed you to issue fraudulent invoices for his own political achievements?”

“You could say that,” Xiang Guangming sighed and said, “At that time, two companies in the Yuhai City Economic Development Zone went bankrupt, and we weren’t clear about the specific reasons for their bankruptcy.

However, to compensate for the reduced output value caused by these two bankrupt companies, Director Tan personally came to our company to inspect and instructed us to make up the output value.”

“Yes, although he didn’t explicitly say how to compensate, he just said that taxes could be paid a little less, but the output value could not fail to grow,” Han Xiaoguo said.

“Cai Chenghan agreed at that time and directly proposed the plan of issuing fraudulent invoices.

Director Tan not only didn’t criticize but also smiled and praised Cai Chenghan for his quick thinking,” Xiang Guangming said indignantly, “I’ve always been in charge of the Finance Department, and I never imagined that a leader would instruct a company to issue fraudulent invoices for his own performance!”

“So you had no choice at the time and still agreed?” Liu Xiaolin asked.

“I did not agree.

What I said at the time was, whoever agrees to issue fraudulent invoices should sign the invoice application form,” Xiang Guangming said exasperatedly, “I didn’t expect Cai Chenghan to actually do that just to curry favor with Director Tan.”

“Yes, at that time, we were all terrified, worried that if this matter was discovered, all of us would be finished,” Han Xiaoguo said with lingering fear.

“Why was all the responsibility later shifted to Dr. Hai?” Liu Xiaolin continued to ask.

“One day in the third month after the fraudulent invoices were issued, I received a call from the tax authorities, asking us to conduct a self-inspection and self-correction,” Xiang Guangming said with lingering fear, “At that time, I was terrified, because I knew that as long as the tax authorities had any suspicion, the matter of fraudulent invoicing would definitely be investigated.

Our laws have very severe penalties for issuing fraudulent invoices, and everyone is well aware of that.”

“So, who thought of shifting the responsibility to Dr. Hai?” Liu Xiaolin asked.

“After I received the call from the tax bureau, I immediately called Cai Chenghan, but he said indifferently, ‘It’s nothing, Director Tan is backing us up, no need to pay attention to those people from the tax authorities,’” Xiang Guangming said, shaking his head, “But I couldn’t ignore it!

So I got anxious with him and told him that if the tax authorities came to investigate, I would immediately tell the truth and make him and Director Tan go to jail.”

“Cai Chenghan must have been scared, right?” Liu Xiaolin knew without even thinking.
