Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 1218 is purely fictional, and any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.

When Tianhua Company's senior management received the news of the warehouse burning down immediately, they did not think it was a problem on their side.

Who in their right mind would think it was their own problem?

My cotton yarn is piled up in the warehouse; it didn't bother or offend anyone...

You said someone died the day before yesterday? Oh, that was the work of the Poison Dragon Gang, what does that have to do with us?
However, out of caution, the higher-ups still initiated the process of auditing the accounts.

The loss of these goods might be a crippling blow to an ordinary trading company, but for a company as large as Tianhua, it's just a loss.

The network of contacts hasn't been lost, the production and sales channels haven't changed, and these underlying frameworks are still intact. The situation at the warehouse isn't insignificant, but it's not a huge deal either.

The first reaction from the higher-ups was that someone had set fire to the warehouse to cover up problems on the books.

There's no way around it; the Chinese people have a rich cultural heritage spanning thousands of years, and they are more or less familiar with these tricks.

What about the Feast at Hongmen, the honey trap, the escape route, and the secret crossing of Chencang...?

Even if you haven't read any books, you'll still be familiar with these age-old tropes just by listening to storytelling and opera.

It's harder to say about the foreigners.

There are indeed cases of people who have turned themselves into idiots by reading scriptures.

There are also those who never learn from their mistakes, getting beaten up repeatedly without ever reflecting on their experiences or learning from their mistakes.

All I can say is that I respect other people's fate.

The higher-ups first suspected that there was a mole within their own ranks, and a mole of high rank and position, otherwise how could they have the audacity to swallow the entire warehouse of goods?
The total value of this shipment exceeds $100,000; anyone with a smaller appetite would find it too much to handle.

But when it comes to investigating internal traitors... to paraphrase an ancient philosopher, you can't investigate everything, can you? What if you actually find something?
The company's senior management wasted an entire day in mutual suspicion and wrangling, and by the next day they still hadn't decided who to send to investigate, or whose problems to investigate.

Everyone looked at each other and felt suspicious.

Just then, a rumor circulating in the business world shocked the top management of Tianhua Company.

"Tianhua Company signed a huge procurement order with the military? Who signed it? How come I didn't know about it?"

"When was it signed? Which military unit was it with? Whose connections did it have?"

However, the news that followed made the senior executives even more uneasy.

"What do you mean by saying that military representatives discovered serious quality problems during a warehouse inspection, were silenced by Tianhua Company thugs, and that a fight broke out between the two sides, igniting a warehouse fire?"

what?
The senior executives looked at each other, their scalps tingling with unease.

"Who did this? This is no small matter! Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"The problem is that nobody did it, and we don't know how this news got out."

"You've already killed someone to cover it up, and now that the news has leaked, are you still wondering who leaked it?"

"Who killed you to cover it up? Explain yourself!"

Who went to check the scene at the warehouse? Were there any dead bodies?

“No casualties.”

"You're saying there were no casualties when the warehouse was smoking?"

They argued for a full half hour without reaching any useful conclusions. The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the ashtrays were overflowing with cigarette butts.

"At this point, everything else can be put aside for now. Let's first think about how to explain things to the military."

"Who should I explain this to?"

"Whoever knows someone in the military, please explain!"

"Who knows him? I don't know him!"

"You're saying you don't know him now?"

Can a relationship built on eating and drinking alone be considered a true acquaintance?

"So how else do you want to get to know me? By tricking me into going to the warehouse, is that it?"

"Okay, stop arguing!"

The white-haired old man sitting at the head of the table picked up his cane, tapped it on the table, and pointed to Kang Boyong, the general manager of Tianhua Company Group, who was sitting next to him.

"Xiaokang, I don't think arguing here will get us anywhere. Where do you think we should start?"

Kang Boyong said in a deep voice, "I think that since so much information has been leaked, there must be eyewitnesses. The most important thing is to find these eyewitnesses first, ask them what they saw, and how they know these things that even our own Tianhua people don't know. Let's figure out the ins and outs first, and then we can make a more detailed plan."

It's just a rumor.

These days, who doesn't have some negative news?

Only the ignorant masses are prone to believing one-sided opinions, while those who truly hold power can decide what they believe and what they do not.

Tianhua Company responded in what it believed to be the right way, while Qilin Army also received relevant information.

"Is it the navy?"

"It must be the navy, otherwise who would hang out with those rich foreign dogs?"

The Qilin Army, as natives of Tianmen, has been stationed in Tianmen for forty or fifty years, if we trace its origins back to the Shenwu Army. The relationship between the two sides is no longer a matter of how deep it is; now, 99% of the officers and soldiers in the Qilin Army are selected from good families in Tianmen and the surrounding areas.

When one loses, both suffer, and when one gains, both prosper.

The Qilin Army has always used, and only uses, local channels for its military procurement. This includes military factories that manufacture uniforms, all of which are under the military's jurisdiction, and the factory employees are mostly military dependents and surviving family members.

The factories are often referred to by numbers and are not open to the public at all; ordinary people have never even heard of them.

So when people heard about the incident at Tianhua Company in the coastal area, their first thought was to suspect the Navy.

The Navy has a history of this.

Unlike the army, which produces and sells its own products, they source from all over the place. Otherwise, where do you think those sea cucumbers and scallops come from?

Now that this incident has come to light, everyone can't help but laugh at the Navy.

However, after laughing, a slight worry inevitably arose in my heart.

What if?
What if it really is someone on our side secretly buying and selling?
The idea of ​​using rotten cotton yarn to make disinfectant cotton is disgusting to everyone, especially the military. If it were to leak into their ranks and end up on the battlefield, it could be fatal.

This kind of thing can never be avoided, and so many emperors and generals throughout history have failed to solve it.

When the leader turns around and asks, can you confidently say, "Although I don't know what happened, it's definitely not our problem?"
"How about... we go and ask around?"

"We're not trying to make fun of the navy, but we can only put everyone at ease if we investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Tianhua Company actually dared to kill people to cover it up. They've really gone too far. Today they even dared to kill a military procurement representative. I don't even want to think about who they'll kill tomorrow."

As local power brokers, the Qilin Army and powerful companies like Tianhua Company, which forcibly seize the local market with foreign capital, naturally don't get along.

Whose market do you think you're seizing? Those are all my fellow villagers!
If it weren't for instructions from above, they would have overturned your business long ago. So Mu Yushu was ordered to take on this critical mission and traveled to the Tianhua Company headquarters to find out the specifics of the situation.

Fearing that the other party might have some strange misunderstanding, they even made a special phone call in advance.

As soon as Mu Yushu got out of the car and stepped onto the steps, he looked around at the scenery when he suddenly heard a gunshot from above.

He instinctively dodged to a safe spot, and when he looked up, he saw a large, lively person jumping down from above, gesturing wildly.

With a loud thud, it hit his car squarely, shattering the roof and windshield to pieces.

Damn it...

Even with Mu Yushu's years of upbringing, he couldn't help but utter a curse at this moment.

What terrible things has your Tianhua Company done to warrant such a huge stunt?

"So you mean that although the deceased was your manager in charge of business, you had no idea why he brought a gun to work, and then, when I arrived, he shot himself and landed squarely on my car?"

In the office, Mu Yushu almost laughed out of anger as she listened to the company's head, who was covered in cold sweat, trying his best to explain.

Is this even human language?

Those who returned from overseas, having absorbed a lot of foreign knowledge, just think they are cultured and naturally superior, right?

They're too lazy to even bother with a perfunctory response anymore.

Let me see what your explanation is. Is this all you're going to say to me?
Excellent! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

General Manager Kang Boyong walked into the office, took the initiative to extend his hand to Mu Yushu and said with a smile, "I am really sorry. Our company has been plotted against these past few days, and everyone from top to bottom is in a mess. I never thought that General Mu would be implicated. Now I know that anything I say will easily cause misunderstandings, so I will simply express our apologies in the simplest way."

After saying that, he handed a small box to Mu Yushu.

Inside were two heavy, large yellow croakers.

Mu Yushu's expression softened slightly.

It's not that he's interested in that little bit of money, but Kang Boyong is right.

There may be misunderstandings in language, but there can be no misunderstandings about gold.

Gold is gold.

This is enough to express the other party's genuine apology.

"This is to compensate me for my car."

Mu Yushu took out a large yellow croaker and waved it in front of Kang Boyong, then pushed the other large yellow croaker back.

“Manager Kang, we have no prior dealings, at most we’ve met once. I don’t care what happens to you, but I’m sure you understand why I’m here today—who is secretly procuring military supplies?”

Kang Boyong said sincerely, "To be honest, we are also completely baffled right now and have not yet obtained any further investigation results. Please allow us a few days, General Mu. Once everything is clear, I, Kang, will definitely visit you in person to give you an explanation."

Mu Yushu sneered, "Surely there's some explanation by now? It's one thing that there's no one to corroborate the story from the warehouse, but your manager died so suddenly, and you still have no explanation? Not even a general idea? If this is all Tianhua Company is capable of, then I advise you to hand this over to the local police station as soon as possible, or perhaps, let the Special Agent Bureau handle it..."

Mu Yushu saw the sincerity Kang Boyong showed, but he was very dissatisfied with Kang Boyong's evasiveness.

Why pretend to be so high and mighty? If you can't figure it out yourself, then let someone who can do it do it!
If you really have the ability to investigate cases, what do you need Uncle Cop for?
However, upon thinking of this, Mu Yushu's heart stirred.

The whole mess that Tianhua Company made is clearly the work of someone behind the scenes.

Seeing ghosts in broad daylight... was actually not uncommon in Tianmen in the past.

Now that all sorts of shady characters have been dealt with, we have the peaceful and stable social environment we have today.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce was new to the area and had never experienced such hardship before.

The one you're competing against is Shen Qingxi.

Have you thoroughly investigated her historical background?

This woman is the only major evil spirit in Tianmen City who openly shows her face – she died in a car accident with no complete body, and even her grave was repaired, but then she suddenly reappeared.

If this isn't evil spirits, then what is?

But there must be a reason why they can be so lively and energetic.

Dealing with such evil spirits falls under the jurisdiction of the Special Service Bureau, but the Bureau turns a blind eye to it.

Now, regarding the Tianhua Company matter...

Mu Yushu already had some guesses in her mind, but Kang Boyong, the general manager of Tianhua Company, was still completely in the dark.

"Thank you for the reminder, General Mu. If we really can't find anything, we will definitely have to ask the police for help. But we haven't reached that point yet."

With such a commotion, the police couldn't possibly stand idly by. However, if Tianhua Company didn't cooperate with the investigation, the police wouldn't have any leads.

We can't let the police investigate everything, can we?
So far, only the warehouse has burned down, but then a flying man appeared out of the sky...

If problems are found, we might have to burn down two more warehouses and fire a few more managers.

Kang Boyong is now in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do.

However, as the general manager, he is required to be out in the public eye and cannot hide behind the scenes like the shareholders, drinking tea and relaxing.

Anyway... let's keep investigating. What other options do you have? Whoever is behind this, the truth will eventually come out as time goes by.

Kang Boyong's current idea is to stall, to drag things out.

If all else fails, we can wait until everyone forgets about it.

Mu Yushu had originally intended to give him a word of advice, but then she thought that since they didn't have a deep relationship, why should they speak too frankly?
They are all adults and should be responsible for their own actions.

No penny in this world falls from the sky.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from Tianhua and that the navy didn't seem to be in a hurry, Mu Yushu decided not to waste any more time there. He decided to have a good talk with his friend in the secretariat that evening.

Everything that happened on the streets of the store that day did not escape the eyes of the Astronomical Bureau, nor could it escape the records of the Secretariat.

At 8 p.m., Mu Yushu booked a private room in the teahouse and invited Cheng Feng to meet her.

He didn't want to serve those old foxes in the Cheng family; only the younger generation was relatively easy to talk to.

What exactly is going on with Tianhua?

As soon as Cheng Feng sat down, Mu Yushu got straight to the point and asked.

Cheng Feng shrugged and laughed, "Hasn't the news already spread throughout the market? Tianhua is cooperating with the military..."

"Which military are you cooperating with? Are they from our Qilin Army?"

"Actually, you're focusing on the wrong thing."

Cheng Feng laughed and said, "Every military logistics company is the same; there will always be people like this. The real key to this matter is whether Tianhua Company actually imported rotten cotton yarn and whether it had any intention or plan to pass off inferior goods as superior ones."
