Chapter 257 Investigate Thoroughly
As the discussion deepened, a consensus gradually emerged: these suppliers appeared to be controlled by a mysterious organization. This organization was highly sophisticated and extremely cunning, concealing its identity and whereabouts through a multi-layered corporate structure, complex fund flows, and various covert channels.
Jiang Yichen frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes: "With these consecutive incidents these past few days, could it be..."
He didn't say it aloud, but instead prepared to thoroughly investigate the Jin family's company.
After the meeting, Jiang Yichen did not go home to rest, but stayed in the office: "Lin Nan, you know what happened these past few days. Investigate the Jin family thoroughly."
Lin Nan replied, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
She wanted to turn around and try to persuade Jiang Yichen, but then she felt that nothing she said would change her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
A few days later, Jiang Yichen sat in his office, his brows furrowed, holding a newly delivered investigation report in his hand.
The report, filled with dense data and clues, was like an invisible net that tightly bound him.
All the signs vaguely point to the Jin family.
However, as if shrouded in a fog, no conclusive evidence could be found to directly link the Jin family to this counterfeit conspiracy.
"The Jin family..." he murmured softly, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
The image of Master Jin's sinister face and his meaningful, cold laugh flashed through my mind.
"Mr. Jiang, these are the latest investigation results." The assistant pushed open the door and placed a document in front of him.
Jiang Yichen quickly flipped the paper over, his eyes scanning it rapidly.
The assistant whispered, "The distribution channels for these counterfeit goods all ultimately point to several shell companies under the Jin family."
Jiang Yichen sneered, "A shell company? The Jin family certainly knows how to play the game, using this kind of tactic to whitewash their image."
"But..." the assistant hesitated for a moment.
He then added, "These companies appear to have no connection with the Kim family, and we cannot find direct evidence."
Jiang Yichen closed the file and took a deep breath.
"Continue the investigation, don't overlook any details."
"Okay, it is indeed the Jin family, but it will take some time."
After his assistant left, Jiang Yichen stood up and walked to the window.
The next day, Jiang Yichen personally went to the registered addresses of those shell companies.
As expected, the result was as predicted.
"There's no company here at all, just an abandoned warehouse," the subordinate reported in a low voice.
Jiang Yichen stood at the warehouse entrance, his gaze cold and stern.
"The Jin family is indeed cunning."
Upon returning to the company, he immediately assembled his legal team.
“We need to find a breakthrough from the legal level,” he said in a deep voice.
"President Jiang, the legal representatives of these shell companies are all insignificant figures; we can't find any trace of the Jin family at all," the legal director said, frowning.
“Then let’s start with the flow of funds.” Jiang Yichen’s eyes were sharp. “No matter how cunning the Jin family is, they can’t completely erase the traces of their funds.”
Three days later, the legal team finally found a clue.
“President Jiang, we have discovered that the funds from these shell companies ultimately flowed to an overseas account, and the account holder has had multiple transaction records with the Jin family.”
A glint flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes.
"Continue the investigation; we must find conclusive evidence."
However, just as they were getting closer to the truth, an accident occurred.
The overseas account was suddenly closed, cutting off all the flow of funds.
"The Jin family has noticed." Jiang Yichen clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger.
"Mr. Jiang, what do we do now?" the assistant asked cautiously.
Jiang Yichen remained silent for a moment, then spoke coldly.
"Since they want to play, I'll play along to the end."
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Old Li, help me investigate someone."
"Who?"
"I need to know all of Mr. Jin's recent movements as his personal assistant."
"Jin family, do you think you can get away unscathed like this?"
He sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
In the studio, I was completely focused on comparing the logistics information of different batches of problematic products.
On the computer screen, the dense data looked like a huge net, and I was trying to find the key thread in it.
“The shipping addresses are all different and varied…” I muttered to myself, my fingers flying across the keyboard.
Suddenly, my gaze fell on a line of data on the screen.
"Wait...this is..."
My eyes widened, and my heart suddenly raced.
"Several of the transit points for these products are completely overlapping!"
I stood up abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.
"Xu Sisi! Sweetie!" I shouted.
The two immediately ran over from the next room.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Sisi asked anxiously.
"I've found a clue!" I pointed at the screen, my voice trembling with excitement.
"You see, although these products have different shipping addresses, several transit points completely overlap during transportation!"
Little Sweetie leaned closer to the screen and looked at it carefully. "It's true! Almost every batch of goods passes through these transit points."
Xu Sisi frowned as well, "This is definitely not a coincidence."
“Yes!” I exclaimed excitedly, “This could very well be their logistics hub, or even a distribution center for counterfeit goods!”
I immediately picked up my phone and made a video call to Jiang Yichen.
As soon as the call connected, before he could even speak, I eagerly said, "I've made a new discovery! The transit points for these products overlap; this might be the key!"
On the other end of the screen, Jiang Yichen's expression instantly turned serious.
"What's going on?" he asked in a deep voice.
I turned the computer screen towards the webcam and pointed to the data, explaining, "Look, although these batches of goods have different shipping addresses, they all pass through these transit points during transportation. I suspect these places might be their logistics hubs, or even distribution centers for counterfeit goods!"
Jiang Yichen stared intently at the screen, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Momo, are you sure?"
“Absolutely sure!” I nodded. “I’ve checked it repeatedly, there’s absolutely no mistake.”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yichen was silent for a few seconds, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Well done." His voice held a hint of approval. "This discovery is very important."
I breathed a sigh of relief; a huge weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders.
"So what do we do next?" I asked.
“I will immediately arrange for people to investigate these transit points.” Jiang Yichen’s tone became decisive. “If these places are indeed their logistics hubs, then we can follow the clues and find their hideout.”
"Is there anything I can do?" I asked.
