Chapter 314 - Luring A Whistle-Blower

"Take a look at this," Jamie said.

In a private restaurant in L City, Neil was meeting with Jamie to get an update on their plan before the auditing period began. Ever since she returned to L City, Jamie has been helping Neil as an undercover staff to spy on the people in the accounting department. Because of that, Neil and Jamie often meet outside, farther away than the headquarters to avoid any suspicion.

A large sum of money was missing from the company and the most suspicious department was the accounting department. It didn't take Jamie a long time to found out that Director Victor Cui was involved in this misappropriation. 

From the men that Neil had sent to various departments to spy on them, he later found out that Director Cui was working together with Director Feng and Director Huo. The three of them were the biggest fish that they wanted to catch.

Neil glanced at the documents on the table and raised a brow at Jamie. After looking at the documents, his face gradually turned darker. Though Neil was aware that the directors will be preparing the auditing, seeing a part of the evidence made him angry.

"From what I see, the moment everything is going out in public, the one who will suffer the biggest blow will be Accountant Ye," Jamie said.  "Anyway, she is the one who did their dirty job." She crossed her arms on her chest and chuckled. "I wouldn't be surprised if the directors will use Accountant Ye as their scapegoat and pushed everything to her."

"What do you think about Accounting Ye?"

Jamie had mentioned Accountant Ye's name and Neil could grasp that his friend had a plan.

"She's actually a timid person," Jamie said. "Accountant Ye doesn't look like someone who would dare to move out that large sum of money or falsifying the documents." 

"Looks can be deceiving," Neil reminded her.

"I know. I asked Henry to run a check on her and we found out that Accountant Ye's younger daughter had a lung problem since birth and they required a large sum of money for her medication." Jamie paused to scratch the tip of her nose. "Also… I put a tap in Director Cui's office and found out that Assistant Ye was forced to do this dirty deed." Her lips suddenly curled into a smile. "President Mo, if I can lure Assistant Ye to be a whistle-blower, would you mind consider lowering her sentence later?"

"Why do you want to help her?"

Jamie heaved a long sigh. "Accountant Ye had always helped me from the first day I came into the department. After interacting with her for a while, I found that she was not a bad person. She was just desperate to live. Her daughter was sick and she was threatened to do things for Director Cui. With Accounting Ye as the whistle-blower, the directors could not get away from their crimes."

Neil thought about Jamie's words for a while. Although the woman had once infuriated him when she had ruined his relationship with his girlfriend, regarding certain things, Neil would still trust the woman's opinion.

"If you can make her volunteer and come forward, then I will consider it," Neil said.

Jamie's expression grew softer and she then agreed. 

The two of them exchanged a few words before Neil asked her a question. "What do you plan to do after this matter ended? If you don't have anything planned, why don't you consider staying in the Accounting Department? After all, there will be a massive shuffle in the company." 

Jamie pondered over his suggestion and chuckled. "I will think about it."

After their discussion ended, the two departed separately at different times. Jamie left the restaurant first and Neil left ten minutes after.

Neil went back to the headquarters and stayed a while in the vehicle to check on his wife. Once he heard that she was fine and the baby in the stomach did not cause her too much trouble, Neil heaved a sigh in relief before he ended the call and walked out.

Neil had just entered the lobby when he heard someone called his name. Turning around, his eyes flashed with anger before it quickly disappeared when he saw General Attorney Leng heading towards him.

"General Attorney," Neil greeted him politely. 

"Did you just come back from lunch?"

"Mmm…" Neil nodded. "General Attorney, why are you here?"

The elderly man flashed a smile. "I came over to meet Director Feng to discuss a few things." He cleared his throat and spoke again, "President Mo, I heard that you are going to put a halt on the development project on the east side."

"Yes. That is what I'm planning to do."

General Attorney Leng heaved a long sigh. "When Director Feng told me about this project, I saw its potential and knew that it would be a very profitable project. President Mo, are you not afraid to lose the shareholders' and the government's support when you make this decision?"

A faint smile curled on Neil's face.

The moment he knew that the General Attorney was interested in that project, Neil had his men investigate the project and found a few suspicious things. Therefore, the project was currently put on a pause.

"General Attorney, the project in the east side will only be stopped temporarily. Currently, we are viewing the project and wanted to make a few changes. Once everything is settled, then I will give them a green light to let them proceed."

The General Attorney's expression brightened up when he heard Neil's words. "That's good. That's good."

Neil watched the elder man's expression and spoke again. "Previously, this project was something that my brother, Adam had proposed. He and his team had worked hard to win that land. Of course, I would not have to work hard to continue realizing what my brother had visualized."

There was a slight shift in the General Attorney's expression, but Neil pretended that he did not see them.

"Your brother, Adam is a talented person," General Attorney Leng said. "It's such a shame that he had to leave early."

Neil's grip on the bag he was holding tightened. "In a few weeks, it will be a year since both Adam and his wife left us."

"Time goes by very quickly. I didn't think that it has been a year."

The two of them exchanged a few more words and the General Attorney finally excused himself to leave. Although the man's expression did not reveal much, Neil knew that the General Attorney was not comfortable when he mentioned Adam.

Neil glanced in the direction where the General Attorney had disappeared to as he walked over to the elevator.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he thought of the surprise that he planned to give the General Attorney during Adam and Claire's death anniversary.
