Chapter 1103: Chapter 1072: Astounding Action

In the afternoon, Lawyer Zhang from Hongda Law Firm had arrived to assist with the investigation.

He was responsible for the various disputes involving the properties under He Tiantian’s name. It was somewhat beneath a lawyer of his stature to handle such matters, but the generous remuneration He Tiantian offered, along with the opportunity to study in Xiangjiang, made Lawyer Zhang quite willing to collaborate with He Tiantian.

He had already received the news over the phone and was prepared to accompany these people in auditing the accounts and to answer some technical questions alongside He Tiantian.

When Director Guo arrived in the afternoon, what was initially two people turned into four.

These two individuals were specifically tasked with auditing the accounts; however, He Tiantian’s enterprises were numerous, and it was impossible to audit them all in a short period.

Lawyer Zhang joined Director Guo for tea and asked, "I am Ms. He’s lawyer, and I wonder, approximately how long will it take to complete the audit?"

"They are all professionals, and we are only auditing the sources of account income, so it should be relatively quick," Director Guo said, having already received instructions from above to minimize the issues during the audit.

"Thank you," Lawyer Zhang said, "I have witnessed every investment made by Ms. He, and as for the profits, they are all taxed accordingly without any evasion.

"Well, that’s very good," Director Guo smiled and then picked up his teacup to drink, indicating he did not wish to continue the discussion.

After work, Huo Yingjie heard from the servants that someone had come to audit accounts, so he personally came over.

Huo Yingjie sat beside Director Guo; although his attitude was fine, he always made Director Guo feel uneasy.

"A real-name report, slander against my father, causing reputation damage to my father and wife, what should be done?" Huo Yingjie asked. He was often by He Tiantian’s side and could comfort her frequently, but his father was in Nan City, surely suffering immensely.

"Uh, we need to protect the legitimate rights of the whistleblower," Director Guo hesitated slightly before replying with a rather generic response.

"And who will ensure the legitimate rights of my father and wife?" Huo Yingjie asked. His father had dedicated himself to the work in Su Province, and his wife He Tiantian’s businesses, which earned substantial money, were mostly used for charity, not for personal enjoyment.

They were both good people, so why should they be slandered and doubted?

"Yes, my client is a legitimate businessman. Shouldn’t the state also protect the legal rights of businessmen?" Lawyer Zhang countered, hoping Director Guo would take a clear stance.

Director Guo internally groaned. Indeed, this was no easy task.

The others dared not come, so they had him, an honest man, come to investigate.

"He-he, if Ms. He were wronged, Mr. Huo, we would clarify with the party and the public," Director Guo said, planning to try his best to remedy the situation later.

It wasn’t until after ten o’clock at night that the two accountants had barely completed the audit of the accounts.

"All investments accounts are cleared, and there are no underhand dealings," one of the staff members said, though they were also amazed by Ms. He’s yearly income, "No wonder she is being reported, it is indeed enviable."

"However, I noticed there are two huge sums transferred out every month," another staff member said, who was handling the expenses.

He Tiantian glanced, then told her staff, "Bring over that charity work ledger for the investigators to see."

"Yes, Teacher He." The employee brought out several account books.

Upon examining them, the employees exchanged glances of surprise; the two sums were actually going into the accounts of the Veteran Funds and the Chunyu Project, two civil charity foundations autonomously helping those old soldiers from the war as well as children who had dropped out of schools in remote areas.

The monthly contributions amounted to over three million yuan.

This sum was astronomical to them, who earned only three hundred yuan a month.

At this moment, the investigators looked at He Tiantian with great admiration.

As the domestic economy opened up, some people became wealthy first, yet none were using a large portion of their earnings for charity and good deeds.

These were not accounts made up in haste; they had been maintained for several years.

"We have completed our investigation, the properties in Yanjing pose no problems," Director Guo said. "Tomorrow, we can go together to Nan City, as long as the sources and applications of the related properties are clear, we can provide a clear report to Ms. He and the governor of Su Province."

"Thank you for your hard work," He Tiantian said. "I will take the morning off tomorrow, and we can take the afternoon train."

"Thank you for your cooperation," Director Guo was very polite. No wonder his superiors had instructed him to be courteous—given all the beneficial deeds she had done, which wouldn’t serve the country and the people?

Each of her account transactions was very clear, with defined sources.

Director Guo left with his subordinates.

Lawyer Zhang chuckled softly, "I will accompany you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang," He Tiantian smiled, "If there’s anything inappropriate for me to say tomorrow, please mind it, Lawyer Zhang."

"Protecting my client’s interests is my duty," Lawyer Zhang smiled. "It’s late, I should also head back."

After bidding each other farewell, He Tiantian let everyone leave work.

Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian sat in the car, with He Tiantian leaning tiredly against Huo Yingjie.

"I will still call early tomorrow, to ask the lawyer in Xiangjiang to come over," He Tiantian said. "After all, we had a property exchange transaction before, and although we have all kinds of proof, having a lawyer over will make me feel more at ease."

"Yeah," Huo Yingjie nodded. "It’s proper to have him come, tomorrow I will also take a leave and accompany you there."

"Okay," He Tiantian agreed. At this moment, she was not being pretentious because she truly wanted to be with her husband, as it gave her a sense of security.

The next day, He Tiantian sent a telegram to Xiangjiang and gathered all necessary documents.

Indeed, upon reaching Nan City, there were issues raised about He Tiantian’s properties.

After all accounts had been verified to be normal, someone brought up the shops He Tiantian bought in Nan City and the houses near Xuanwu Lake, claiming that He Tiantian had coerced the elderly into selling the properties at exceedingly low prices.

In front of everyone, He Tiantian produced the contracts signed earlier, the notary certificates, and the property ownership proofs of both sides.

"The lawyer from Xiangjiang who managed this transaction will come to Nan City tomorrow and will clarify everything to the authorities," He Tiantian said, grateful for their thorough preparation, otherwise, they could have indeed lost badly!

"That would be best," Director Guo nodded. He was already mostly convinced when He Tiantian pulled out these documents.

Up to this point, all of He Tiantian’s properties had been disclosed publicly.

While many marveled at He Tiantian’s genius for business, they were even more envious of the Huo Family.

With such a golden baby in the family, who would even think of engaging in corruption or bribery?

That would be foolish!
