Chapter 264 The Five Day Audit Concludes
As Mo Qian walked, he mulled over what Xiao Yu had told him about the two Xu brothers.For such a major event as his eldest son's wedding, Xu Fuxian had deliberately excluded his own brother from the invitations. This clearly showed how deep the rift between them had grown.Was it truly just because Xu Shouxian made money on the side without including his brother that the two had become estranged?Mo Qian didn't think so.Xu Shouxian should have treated his brother well. After all, as general accountant, deeply trusted by Ruan Fengshan, and having held the position for decades, he had still tolerated keeping his estranged brother on as a section head beneath him, entrusting him with a significant number of accounts. This suggested that, deep down, Xu Shouxian still cared about this brother.From his audit, Mo Qian knew the accounts Xu Fuxian managed were not small. If he'd wanted to skim off the top even slightly, he could have made considerable money. Yet his accounts were spotless.
Chapter 263 Strained Bloodlines
Hearing this, Wang De'an felt a flicker of nervousness. The fan in his hand paused for a few breaths before he resumed."Mr. Xu is right. I'll be more careful going forward."After leaving Xu Shouxian's room, Wang De'an's expression was uneasy.It seemed he really had overstepped. He'd often invited Li Jun out for drinks simply because Xu Shouxian valued him.Was Li Jun's coma truly connected to his drinking? But the truth no longer mattered—Mr. Xu clearly believed it was, which was exactly why he'd been summoned."Li Jun, you'd better wake up! If anything happens to you, Mr. Xu will surely take it out on me."In the document library, Mo Qian's pace of checking accounts grew steadily faster. By flipping through the ledgers Xiao Yu and Huang Qing brought over, he could quickly find the entries he needed, glance them over, note down the figures, fold the corners, close the books, and set them aside.As Mo Qian's speed increased, Xiao Yu and Huang Qing also found themselves locating ledg
Chapter 262 The Brother's Ledger
Mo Qian suddenly opened the ledger in front of him, folded the corners of the pages that matched each other, and then divided them into three stacks in the order they were nested.Mo Qian put these three ledgers on the floor by the wall.Huang Qing watched Mo Qian's movements, doubt in his eyes, and said, "Have you already gone through the ledger?"Mo Qian looked back and laughed. "After checking everything that needed checking, I finally set it aside."Huang Qing looked at Mo Qian's smile, nodded, and felt that what Mo Qian said made sense.Moreover, Mo Qian had checked over thirty ledgers, but Huang Qing had never once seen him take notes or use an abacus to verify the calculations.If he wasn't actually checking them, then reading through more than thirty ledgers and simply closing them again made no sense as "checking accounts."Although Huang Qing was puzzled, he trusted that the higher-ups knew what they were doing. Mo Qian and Xiao Yu were the ones sent to check the accounts of
Chapter 261 Tracing the Embezzlement
But he had not wanted to do that, because the lesson of Xiao Zongting's mid-year inventory had been clear: Xu Shouxian was the kind of man who held grudges and would find ways to settle scores. If Mo Qian turned up some minor problems, who could say how Xu Shouxian might make him pay for it later?But now, things were completely different.This was not some minor discrepancy from a mid-year inventory. This was something fatal — this was Ruan Fengshan's most forbidden line.Mo Qian was almost certain that if this came to light, Xu Shouxian would not survive it.And a dead man could not come after him.Moreover, Xu Shouxian was not only a thorn in his own side — he was also a persistent obstacle to Xiao Zongting. Getting rid of this man would make life considerably easier for Old Xiao within Yuanshun Escort Agency going forward.Mo Qian sat at the desk, his eyes flickering. After turning it over several times in his mind, his decision was made: he would expose this.But he had to ensure
Chapter 260 A Silent Conspiracy
The fine powder he had brushed against Li Jun's face just now was a prepared drug. It would not kill anyone, but once a person was rendered unconscious by it, no ordinary physician would be able to wake them. One simply had to wait for the drug to run its course.This was, after all, something prepared by the criminal physician Shen Ping. It was not so easily countered.And Mo Qian had been careful with the dosage. He was certain that Li Jun would not wake up for the next five days.Xu Shouxian walked slowly over to Mo Qian and Xiao Yu and said: "I am sorry to have given you both a fright. Li Jun has never been the strongest in constitution. The storage room is stuffy — I imagine the air got to him.""I think the best course of action is for me to send you a replacement assistant in Li Jun's place. Something unfortunate has happened, but we cannot let it delay your review of the accounts."Xiao Yu was about to respond when Mo Qian cut in smoothly: "There is no need to trouble anyone.
Chapter 259 The Exposed Maze
Because Mo Qian had several account books open in front of him at once and was still sending Huang Qing to fetch more from the shelves. Yet he had not made a single note, and had never once touched the abacus.What was this? Did he think he was like Li Jun himself, gifted in mental arithmetic with a perfect memory? It was obviously all for show.But then, Li Jun's contemptuous smile froze on his face.Because he noticed that as Mo Qian leafed through the account books, the index finger and thumb of his left hand were moving unconsciously against the fabric of his sleeve.The reason this startled Li Jun was because he himself made that exact same unconscious movement when he did mental arithmetic."This..."He could not understand why Mo Qian would also do that, but when he looked at Mo Qian's focused face again, a cold feeling crept over him from head to foot.Li Jun's expression became grave. He put his contempt entirely aside and began watching carefully — tracking each account book
