Chapter 154 Shameless Woman
The Finance Department Manager was puzzled and somewhat frightened, but without concrete evidence, everything was just his speculation.
Afterward, Lin Yifan took the company bills from the Finance Department, then quietly returned to the HR department to obtain the personal information of all the Finance Department employees before leaving the company.
Now it was a race against time; he needed to audit the accounts before the Finance Department staff could flee.
So, he drove to the most famous accounting firm in Guiyuan City and paid them to crunch the numbers.
In less than two hours, the firm's staff had helped him identify the embezzled funds.
The embezzled funds totaled over fifty million, an extreme amount.
"Damn it, to embezzle so much, absolutely unforgivable," Lin Yifan said angrily. Though it wasn't his money that was swallowed, the company was now his, so he had to reclaim this money.
He immediately drove back to the company to look for the Finance Department's staff and manager; however, by then, the Finance Department was already deserted, and the desks had been cleaned out.
"Damn! I shouldn't have declared a holiday," Lin Yifan felt stupid about his decision.
However, even if he hadn't declared a holiday, those with guilty consciences would have sneaked away.
Now, he had no choice but to track down the people using the addresses listed on the Finance Department employees' personal information sheets.
He decided to capture the Finance Department Manager first; once he had the leader, the other Finance Department employees would likely surrender themselves.
Driving to the East City District, it wasn't long before Lin Yifan arrived at the residential complex where the Finance Department Manager lived; he immediately went upstairs to find him.
When he reached the Finance Department Manager's home, he found the manager moving things. So, he gently knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock!"
"Who's there?" the Finance Department Manager loudly asked from inside.
"Manager Du, it's Guo Xiaochao. I have something urgent to discuss, please open the door," Lin Yifan, mimicking Guo Xiaochao's voice, answered the Finance Department Manager's question.
Having heard Guo Xiaochao's voice at the Finance Department, and being particularly struck by its distinctive, effeminate quality, he decided to use it to lure the Finance Department Manager to open the door.
Saying he was there to collect electricity charges, check the water meter, or deliver a parcel might have aroused the Finance Department Manager's suspicion, which was not the outcome he wanted, so he couldn't phrase it that way.
As expected, hearing the effeminate voice, the Finance Department Manager came to the door without any guard.
"Xiaochao! Wha..." Before he could continue, he was shocked to see that the person outside was not Guo Xiaochao but the new company boss. He immediately tried to shut the door.
But it was all too late; Lin Yifan kicked the door, sending it flying along with the man.
"Damn it! Thinking about closing the door? Did you ask me first? Hmph!"
With raging anger, Lin Yifan charged inside.
At that moment, the Finance Department Manager's wife came out; seeing her husband injured on the floor, she loudly protested, "Why did you hit my husband?"
"Because he was trying to flee with company property," Lin Yifan replied.
The wife of the Finance Department Manager was flustered, not expecting anyone to follow up so quickly; however, without any evidence presented by him, she couldn't just accept the accusations. Thus, she steadied herself and retorted, "Don't make false accusations, my husband is upright and would not commit such illegal and criminal acts."
"The evidence is in my hands, what else can you deny?" Lin Yifan took out an accountant's bill that detailed the records of the company's assets being embezzled, every transaction clearly calculated and plainly visible.
As she looked at the bill in Lin Yifan's hands, the Finance Department Manager's wife became anxious, wanting to snatch it and tear it up; however, she knew she was no match for Lin Yifan, so she had to resort to scheming, "I don't believe it!"
"If you don't believe it, take a look for yourself, see how dark-hearted your husband is." Lin Yifan handed out the bill, inviting her to take it.
He thought the Finance Department Manager's wife was deceived and clueless, so he wanted her to see her husband's true colors.
But he had forgotten a saying: Those close to vermilion get stained red, those close to ink get stained black. Since these two were husband and wife, they would surely be partners in crime, supporting each other through thick and thin.
Sure enough, the moment she took the bill, the Finance Department Manager's wife stuffed it into her mouth, and with a gulp, swallowed it.
"Damn! That's true love indeed! Such desperation!" Lin Yifan was stunned, then felt immense admiration.
Guard against wolves, dogs, and rats, but failed to guard against this frail woman; alas! It's truly a great sadness in life.
This feeling of having one's conscience eaten by a dog is really unbearable.
"Hmph! Now there's no evidence, right?" The Finance Department Manager's wife boasted triumphantly.
"I have to say, you are badass!" Lin Yfian exclaimed.
"Exactly, exactly, who do you think I am?" The Finance Department Manager's wife said, lifting her chin proudly, seeming quite pleased with herself.
"Are you saying you are proud to be the wife of a man without conscience?" Lin Yifan asked sarcastically.
What has become of the world? Have personal values really been abandoned?
"Who says my husband lacks conscience? My husband is the most conscientious." The Finance Department Manager's wife continued to defend her husband.
"Shameless!" Lin Yifan felt disgusted, and his expression suddenly turned fierce. This kind of despicable person, must be taught a lesson.
Seeing Lin Yifan scowling and walking towards her, the Finance Department Manager's wife got scared and threatened, "What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, breaking into a house and hitting someone illegally can get you thrown in jail."
"You don't need to tell me! I know all this! I just want to teach you a lesson before I go to jail," Lin Yifan retorted, and then he slapped her across the face.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound rang out, and blood trickled from the corner of the Finance Department Manager's wife's mouth.
"Bastard!" Seeing his wife being struck, the Finance Department Manager was furious. He immediately got up from the ground and, clenching his fists, rushed to attack Lin Yifan.
"Stay out of this!" Lin Yifan kicked the Finance Department Manager flying. Such people, he could handle without much effort.
Then, he coldly asked the woman covering her face and weeping in pain, "Still feeling proud? Still arrogant?"
"If you dare, beat me to death!" The Finance Department Manager glared at Lin Yifan with a look of rage, seemingly unafraid.
"You think I won't?" Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, then raised his hand, ready to strike again.
"Don't... stop!" At that moment, the Finance Department Manager's wife shouted loudly, losing her earlier confidence and suddenly seemed defeated.
