Chapter 1679: Chapter 844: Problematic Background (2)

"Indeed, it was truly dangerous at that time. Moreover, I heard that in times of turmoil, this place remained undamaged."

It seems this matter is indeed quite complicated; the precise location of the ancient relics has always been a mystery to the Du Family Village.

"I believe this resort might have truly violated the law, and I think we should focus on investigating it. I’m sure someone from the relevant departments is involved."

This matter is gradually escalating, and if it really leads to trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable, potentially affecting the forthcoming World Youth Games.

Helplessly, everyone had to hurry and keep trying.

The team leader began to feel at a loss.

If this issue continues to escalate, the impact would be severe, something he doesn’t want to see happening.

"Let’s not rush; it seems there are issues with the approval documents. Since that’s the case, let’s revisit the resort."

They returned to the resort, and after a bit of trouble, they finally found the so-called ancient relics.

"This thing is really in disrepair; how could it possibly remain undamaged?"

The team members and everyone else looked puzzled, not knowing where to start.

"There must be something wrong."

They immediately took action; the technical expert sent the message that this place indeed has cracks that are several centuries old, meaning this wasn’t caused by the resort.

"According to our country’s laws, you definitely can’t build a resort in a place like this!"

Lin Beichen was very strict about this matter, and if there’s still no explanation by now, he would have to handle it as he sees fit.

"Don’t worry yet. Since someone has mentioned these things to you, I think someone informed might reveal it. Let’s not rush, wait for the right timing."

Lin Beichen fell into deep thought. How did these people manage to transport so many explosives in, and how dared they build a resort directly around ancient relics?

According to local regulations, a certain distance must be maintained between a resort and ancient relics, but the planning here is clearly non-compliant.

It can be said that these buildings are illegal.

However, why has no one ever questioned it over the years?

It is truly puzzling.

It seems there must be something hidden, but no breakthrough has yet been found through interrogation.

"The two people currently captured are really tight-lipped, not mentioning any internal secrets."

The waiter, hearing this, helplessly looked at the two people.

"Captains, I think you might have missed a crucial moment.

Although these people are key members now, they have already released some non-core personnel first, who are quite familiar with the domestic situation."

"No worries!"

The captain, however, appeared rather joyful.

"If they don’t come, it would be more troublesome. It seems there might be a new terror force approaching, which gives us a perfect opportunity to showcase our skills."

The captain is not one to like battles, but he definitely wants to capture these forces entirely. Since the opponent is coming to them proactively, they certainly won’t miss it.

"At your command!"

Lin Beichen also smiled.

Since the last communication, suspicious individuals haven’t appeared for a while, making the special forces waiting nearby feel increasingly anxious. Lin Beichen carefully reviewed the schedule, noting there’s only one month left until the event’s opening.

Moreover, the entire city’s security is getting tighter, with many troops already stationed here.

The situation is increasingly complicated, and they must solve the case quickly. At this time, the person in charge also approached the captain.

"I hope you two can make progress in cooperation; in the past time, what have you found?"

"Yes!"

He started to report, but the person in charge was still dissatisfied.

"I’ve promised to the higher-ups, and if foreign aid is really needed, where would I put my face? You all are the people I trust most, so you must find a solution."

Everyone nodded; this matter is indeed no small matter.

"Then let’s act directly."

Lin Beichen looked at the captain.

They had a big plan in mind, and since it was a critical moment, they must find out the true investor behind the resort. This person has a huge investment ratio and is likely the biggest shareholder.

The one referred to as the boss of the resort might only be a general manager.

They took an accountant and headed directly to the scene.

The accountant immediately carried out a comprehensive audit of the resort’s accounts, finding several obvious problems.

"I found this person keeps investing through various channels, and each time the amount isn’t small."

"Chen Feifei?"

The name made Lin Beichen somewhat incredulous because, in the barracks, Chen Lin once mentioned that his mother was named Chen Feifei.

This matter is becoming more complicated, or else trouble will continue to come.

"I think now we must quickly figure out the company’s accounts."

Lin Beichen looked at the criminal investigation captain.

"It seems the economic investigation captain’s assistance is needed."

"Alright!"

At this moment, the three captains gathered together.

"It’s imperative to quickly investigate this company; if this matter becomes more difficult, we will miss an excellent opportunity to capture."

The captain, looking at the company name, was also stunned because it’s a major taxpayer in the city.

"Is this a private enterprise? If so, to develop to this extent in decades is indeed hard, but it shouldn’t be so strong as to become a consortium."

Lin Beichen found it hard to believe.

"Hmm..."

The captain shook his head.

"You don’t know enough about the domestic situation. Now domestic consortia are very strong, and it’s not only state-owned enterprises that have such capital strength.

You see, many large companies over there, although the state holds shares, the operating rights are basically in their hands."

State shares? But this company has no state shares; it became a huge group solely through foreign investment.

The captain quickly began a comprehensive investigation into this company, and within five days, a detailed report was presented to everyone.

After flipping through the report, everyone’s face turned very serious. Unexpectedly, this company had previously invested in multiple illegal projects.

Although most of these projects have been demolished, and the company didn’t profit from them, it still possesses vast wealth, with large amounts of foreign capital directly flowing into its account annually.

This is truly puzzling: why does a long-term unprofitable company have such a huge capital flow?

It’s well known that companies worldwide aim for profit. If they can’t turn a profit, they would logically stop investing. However, this company’s foreign consortium doesn’t seem to mind at all, as if everything is perfectly normal.

Lin Beichen began to ponder this issue deeply.

"Do you think it could be this: the company is actually funded by foreign terrorists and has existed for a long time. Let me check its establishment date..."

Looking at the establishment date, everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that this company was registered when this city first obtained the hosting rights.

"Oh my, this company has existed for seven years; how come you didn’t notice earlier?"

The captain, upon hearing this, felt quite uncomfortable inside.

"In terms of criminal investigation, we indeed tried our best to solve the problems. But who would’ve thought that this company could lurk for so long. We felt weird about it initially but stopped further noting because it was a major taxpayer."

Lin Beichen also felt quite frustrated. Everyone was actually aware of this company’s situation. As one of the largest enterprises in the city, although business volume has recently declined, even a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Moreover, it’s always been a major taxpayer in the city, so many still held expectations for this company’s future.

However, now that this company is found to have problems, especially with its abnormal foreign investment methods, Lin Beichen started to worry: if all this is hiding clues, what should be done?

Not to mention, with the World Games about to open, if this company really has issues, it might lead to undesired consequences.

The criminal investigation captain also felt troubled. If this isn’t thoroughly investigated, it would be hard to cooperate with international criminal police in future probes, considering that terror organization has always eyed the World Games intently.

Lin Beichen remained silent. If accounts are to be investigated, it might not be easy. Those wealthy consortia will surely find various reasons to stall.

During this time, anxiety was prevalent.

Many foreign companies were hesitant to discuss business due to terror incidents.

It can be said that this city has already lost many people’s trust. Although the person in charge repeatedly emphasized the ongoing strict security, it still struggles to inspire investment enthusiasm.
