After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Attorney Jack's face turned pale, he knew he had made an unforgivable mistake. He explained tremblingly: "I immediately contacted Tom and asked him to re-evaluate the financial status of the target company."

Financial consultant Tom said solemnly: "Preliminary judgment shows that the target company is likely to have falsified its financial statements. These abnormal data may seem insignificant, but if they are analyzed in conjunction with other data, huge loopholes hidden in them will be discovered."

Yan Jin turned his gaze to Xiang Yu and said calmly: "It seems that we have encountered a tough nut to crack."

A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's deep eyes, and he said firmly: "No matter who is behind this, I will make him pay the price."

In the next few days, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin personally led the team to conduct a thorough investigation of the target company's financial statements. They analyzed every transaction and every piece of data line by line, leaving no clues unturned.

With her keen business sense and sensitivity to numbers, Yan Jin quickly discovered some more hidden anomalies. She pointed to several amounts on the report and said to Xiang Yu, "The flow of these funds is very suspicious. We need to find out where they ultimately went."

Xiang Yu nodded and immediately arranged for someone to start an investigation. However, the investigation process was not smooth. Some key figures in the target company began to intentionally or unintentionally avoid their inquiries and even refused to cooperate with the investigation.

"Lucy, please contact the financial director of the target company. We need him to provide some more detailed financial data." Xiang Yu instructed the translator beside him.

Lucy took the order and left. However, a few minutes later, she came back with a serious look on her face. "Mr. Xiang, the financial director said he is not in the company today and cannot provide any information."

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin exchanged glances. They both realized that the other party had begun to notice and respond. A silent game quietly unfolded in this cross-border merger and acquisition case...

"It seems that we have underestimated our opponent." Xiang Yu's tone was cold, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes. He knew that the next battle would be a more difficult one.

Late at night, Xiang Yu's study was brightly lit. He stood in front of the window, the neon lights of the city were like a flowing galaxy, but they could not illuminate his solemn brows.

"It seems like we have really stirred up a hornet's nest this time." Yan Jin's voice came from behind, with a hint of fatigue, but it could not conceal the firmness in his tone.

Xiang Yu turned around and handed her a cup of hot coffee. "The target company has deeper roots in the local area than we thought. This merger and acquisition case has touched the interests of too many people."

Yan Jin took the coffee and took a sip. A warm current flowed from his throat to his stomach, but it could not dispel the lingering haze in his heart. "Today I tried to get more information from their financial director, but he was hesitant and evasive. It was obvious that someone was putting pressure on him behind his back."

"And the official in charge of approving the project. I've always wanted to meet him, but he always refuses for various reasons." Xiang Yu's tone was cold, "It seems we need to find another way."

Yan Jin pondered for a moment, "I have an idea. We might as well start with the target company's partners, maybe we can find a breakthrough."

"I have the same idea." Xiang Yu walked to the desk and picked up a document. "I have asked Jack to investigate the target company's cooperation projects in recent years to see which projects involve the interests of those key figures."

The two continued to discuss countermeasures in the study, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing. Outside the window, the night deepened and the city gradually fell asleep, but for Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, this was destined to be another sleepless night.

The next day, Attorney Jack brought new information. "I found out that the target company has a close relationship with a local real estate company, and the chairman of this company is..." Jack paused, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Who is it?" Xiang Yu and Yan Jin asked in unison.

"Yes..." Jack took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name. This name was like a stone, causing ripples on the originally calm lake.

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's faces turned ugly in an instant. They looked at each other and saw shock and solemnity in each other's eyes.

"It seems that we have met a real opponent this time." Xiang Yu said in a low voice, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes...

The name that lawyer Jack brought up was like a thunderclap, exploding in Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's ears, leaving them stunned for a long time. That person was someone they had never thought would be involved in this merger case, making the already complicated situation even more confusing.

Silence spread between the two of them. Yan Jin's fingers holding the coffee cup turned slightly white, and a hint of abnormal color appeared at her knuckles. After a long while, she took a deep breath and drank the bitter coffee in one gulp, as if to gain strength from it. "It seems that we have really hit a wall this time."

"But we are not easily defeated." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, with a firm strength in his tone, "Since they want to play, we will play with them to the end."

He walked to the French window, overlooking the brightly lit city, his deep eyes flashing with a determined light, "Jack, continue to investigate this real estate company, especially their financial transactions, to see if you can find a breakthrough."

"Understood." Jack nodded, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

Yan Jin walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a thick document. It was the target company's financial statements. The densely packed numbers seemed to be mocking their ignorance and powerlessness. But she did not back down. Instead, she studied it more attentively, trying to find clues from these boring numbers.

Time passed in silence, and the night outside the window grew darker and darker, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

"Dong dong dong..."

A rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the study. Lucy the translator stood at the door in a panic, "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, Mr. Tom is here and said he has something important to tell you."

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin exchanged glances, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. An ominous premonition came to their hearts.

"Let him in." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his tone.

Lucy pushed open the door, and financial advisor Tom walked in with a serious expression. He was holding a document tightly in his hand, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. It was obvious that he had been through a fierce ideological struggle.

"What's wrong, Tom?" Yan Jin asked, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

Tom took a deep breath and handed the document in his hand to Xiang Yu. His voice was low and hurried, "I just got the news..."
