Chapter 676: Anonymous Report
“We need to investigate,” Mei Shu’s attitude remained firm. “The situation has developed to this point, indicating that our previous suspicions were correct. So we must continue to pursue it no matter what, absolutely not giving up halfway.”
“Alright,” Jiang Hai nodded heavily in agreement. “Miss Mei Shu, Master Si has received the news. He will arrive at Wendith tomorrow. Should we wait for him to arrive before taking action together?”
“Do you really think he can still make it?” Mei Shu sighed. “It’s not just that; Mei Corporation might also run into big trouble.”
Jiang Hai looked puzzled, but soon he understood the reason behind it, his expression turning shocked. “You mean, because of this incident, the person behind it has caused a death, they might intervene to stop you and Master Si from continuing the investigation!”
“Yes,” Mei Shu nodded lightly. At that moment, her phone rang, and her heart sank along with it.
The screen displayed an unknown phone number. Mei Shu activated the call recording function before answering, putting it on speaker for Jiang Hai to listen.
“Miss Mei Shu, hello, we are from the Tax Bureau. There are some tax issues regarding your company that we need to discuss with you in detail. Are you currently in Lin City?”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but massage her temples in frustration, turning off the speaker and moving to a corner to answer the call. “Hello, I’m not in Lin City right now. Any tax-related matters can be coordinated with our company’s finance department and my secretary, Tang Mei. They will cooperate with you seriously.”
“You should come back in person. Tax issues are not trivial matters. We hope you can take them seriously.” The staff member continued to pressure her in an official tone.
Mei Shu replied in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll take the earliest flight back tomorrow.”
“It’s better if you check for flights tonight. It’s for your own good. The longer this drags on, the more difficult it will be to handle.”
The staff member showed no intention of backing down.
Mei Shu had no choice but to agree.
After hanging up the phone, she had Jiang Hai book the next available flight.
Mei Shu found a nurse and left a note for Ruan Li, asking the nurse to keep it safe. “Could you please, if she safely comes out of the operating room, give her this note to see? If she doesn’t, please contact me by phone. My phone number is on it, alright?”
“Of course,” the nurse kindly accepted the note and kept it safe.
Then Mei Shu and Jiang Hai returned to the hotel together, hastily packed up, and headed to the airport.
Outside the Lin City airport.
Jiang He had received the news early and arrived at the airport entrance to pick her up.
Seeing Mei Shu, Jiang He hurriedly took her luggage and said anxiously, “Miss Mei Shu, something has happened with the Lu family’s company. Master Si and the eldest young master are dealing with it urgently. Master Si knows you’re back and asked me to take you to the company. He also asked me to tell you not to worry too much, everything will be handled by him.”
Mei Shu got into the car, took out her phone to check the information Tang Mei had sent over, and asked, “Have you found the reason why the Tax Bureau suddenly investigated the Mei Corporation?”
“It seems that someone reported us, but we don’t know the specific reasons yet.” Jiang He turned the car around, speeding away from the airport.
Mei Shu understood and wasn’t surprised. “You let him focus on dealing with the Lu family’s matter first. I don’t need him to worry too much about my side. I’ll personally find out who’s behind this.”
As the car came to a stop at the entrance of the Mei Corporation building, Tang Mei was anxiously waiting outside. As soon as she saw Mei Shu getting out of the car, she hurriedly approached. “Boss, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
“Let’s not talk about this now. What exactly happened? Do you know?” Mei Shu asked as she hurried into the building.
Tang Mei quickly briefed her on what she had learned. “Boss, through some connections, I found out that someone sent an anonymous report letter to the Tax Bureau. But we don’t know the contents of the letter. Also, the Tax Bureau officials are waiting for you in the conference room. They just requested the company’s financial records for the past year and are currently auditing them.”
Mei Shu pressed the button for the top floor of the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, she caught a glimpse of her weary reflection and couldn’t help but sigh. “Let them audit. There can’t possibly be any issues with our records.”
“But we need to deliver the goods to Kangwei immediately. I’m worried that the audit will delay our verification time. Once the delivery period specified in the contract passes, we will have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract.” Tang Mei’s concern was not unfounded.
At this moment, the elevator door opened on both sides. Mei Shu decisively ordered, “Call CEO Kang and explain the situation. We will try our best to deliver the goods within the specified time. Please ask him to wait a little. Uncle Kang can understand. This time, someone wants to mess with me. He has to take sides.”
“Yes.” When Tang Mei received the instructions, she immediately instructed her little secretary, who had been following her, to do it. She then followed Mei Shu into the conference room.
At this moment, the long table inside was filled with various accounts of the company, and the people sitting at the long table were all government officials in uniform..
