Chapter 347 He will reveal a weakness as soon as he lowers his guard.
In this private room at the Prince Xuan Restaurant.
Li Menghan looked at Lu Wenzhou and nodded very seriously.
"Okay, Brother Lu, we'll do it your way. What should I do next?"
Lu Wenzhou took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said in a calm voice:
"It's very simple. Go to work as usual tomorrow, and your attitude must be exactly the same as before. When you see Wang Lei, you still need to show that you have great faith in him and admire him as a high-tech talent."
"You can't let him see even the slightest hint of suspicion. The moment he lowers his guard, he'll slip up."
Lu Wenzhou leaned a little closer and lowered his voice to say:
"You need to find a way to get their so-called technical team's internal list. Check the real identities of these people, see if they are really top experts, or just random hired hands."
"More importantly, there's the financial aspect. That 20 million plus the later 100 million—such a large sum of money definitely needs to be accounted for through official channels."
"Since you are an investor and the company's nominal boss, you have the right to check the company's financial statements. Find an excuse, such as needing to report to other investors or prepare financial statements, and have their finance staff show you the recent cash flow details."
"If we can get their transfer records showing that they transferred money into private accounts or overseas accounts, then the charge of fraud will be confirmed."
Li Menghan memorized every single word Lu Wenzhou said.
He felt that Lu Wenzhou's thinking was very clear, and every step was arranged in a very orderly manner.
This is what a true businessman and someone who wants to achieve great things should look like.
In comparison, my previous impulsive spending spree was really too naive.
"I understand, Brother Lu. I'll start processing it when I go to the company tomorrow."
Li Menghan answered very confidently.
Although Li Mengli was still angry with her younger brother, she saw that Li Menghan had finally listened to others' advice and was beginning to find a direction to solve the problem.
The anger in her heart had dissipated considerably.
She looked at Li Menghan and said irritably:
"You'd better keep your word. Don't get to the company, let that conman fool you with a few words, and forget why you even went there."
Li Menghan, unusually, did not argue with her sister.
He simply nodded, his expression very serious.
After this meal...
The three people walked out of the Prince Xuan Restaurant.
Li Menghan drove the red Ferrari back to school alone.
Li Mengli then got into Lu Wenzhou's black Maybach.
The car drove smoothly on the road.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Mengli turned to look at Lu Wenzhou and said very sincerely:
"Lu Wenzhou, thank you so much for today."
"If it weren't for your analysis and advice, I don't know how long my silly brother would have been fooled. He's so stubborn, he just wouldn't listen to me."
Lu Wenzhou drove, smiled, and spoke in a very relaxed tone:
"Mengli, you don't need to be so polite with me. We're all friends, helping each other out is only natural."
"Moreover, it's not necessarily a bad thing for boys to suffer some losses or be fooled a little as they grow up. As long as they can learn from their mistakes, they won't repeat them in the future."
When Li Mengli heard Lu Wenzhou say that, she felt very comfortable.
She discovered that Lu Wenzhou was a very eloquent and generous person.
He did not look down on his younger brother because of his impulsiveness and ignorance; on the contrary, he patiently guided him.
This maturity and composure made Li Mengli like him even more.
……
the next morning.
Li Menghan got up very early.
Instead of driving his sports car to the company like he had a few days before, he took a regular ride-hailing car.
Upon arriving at the upscale office building, he walked through the company's doors.
There were still only a few people in the office area.
Wang Lei was sitting in front of the computer when he saw Li Menghan come in, and immediately greeted her with a big smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Li! You're here really early today."
Li Menghan followed the method taught to him by Lu Wenzhou.
His face immediately lit up with a smile of deep trust and great joy.
He walked up to Wang Lei, patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly:
"Of course we should come early! With our company having so much funding right now, the project must be progressing very quickly, right?"
"As the boss, of course I have to come and check every day, waiting for our AI big model to be completed as soon as possible so we can make a lot of money!"
Wang Lei was overjoyed when he heard Li Menghan's words.
He cursed inwardly, "What a rich idiot."
Wang Lei nodded repeatedly, echoing Li Menghan's words:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li! With your investment of 100 million, we're now like a tiger with wings!"
"We've already paid the deposit for those super servers, and they'll be delivered soon. The technical team is working day and night, and progress is going very smoothly!"
Li Menghan pretended to be very satisfied.
He walked into his boss's office and sat down.
Then he called out to Wang Lei outside the door:
"Wang Lei, come here for a moment."
Wang Lei rushed in.
"Boss Li, what are your orders?"
Li Menghan leaned back in her chair, tapped her fingers twice on the table, and said in a very casual tone:
"That's right. I spoke with my dad on the phone last night. He was very interested when he heard that I had invested in such a promising high-tech company."
"He said he might send his finance team over in a few days to inspect our company's operations. If things go well, he might even make another investment."
Upon hearing the words "additional investment".
Wang Lei's eyes lit up immediately.
His greed knows no bounds.
Looking at Wang Lei's greedy expression, Li Menghan continued:
"So, go and print out a copy of our company's cash flow statement for the past few days. Also, prepare a list and resumes of the core experts in our technical team."
"I need to take a look beforehand so I have a general idea. When my dad's people come to check the accounts, I can report to them where all of our 100 million yuan has been spent and how the progress is."
Wang Lei heard that they wanted to check the flow of funds and the list of personnel.
His expression changed slightly.
But he quickly returned to normal.
He thought Li Menghan was just looking around to appease her rich father.
Moreover, in his opinion, even if he were shown the falsified data, Li Menghan, a rich second-generation who doesn't know anything about the industry, would not be able to see any problems.
Wang Lei readily agreed:
"Okay, Mr. Li! No problem!"
"I'll have the finance department print out the transaction details right away, and I'll also organize the technical team's data immediately. I'll send it to you this afternoon."
Li Menghan nodded:
"Okay, get on it. The sooner the better."
It was a little after 3 p.m.
Wang Lei walked into the office with a folder in his hand.
He handed the folder to Li Menghan and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li, all the information you requested has been prepared. Please take a look."
Li Menghan took the folder, opened it, and started reading.
The first page contains a list of personnel.
The list lists five or six impressive-sounding names, followed by titles such as "Overseas Returnee PhD" or "Former Chief Algorithm Engineer of a Major Company".
Li Menghan gave a cold laugh inwardly.
He took out his phone, pretending to reply to a message, and secretly took a picture of the list.
Then, he flipped to the back of the financial statement.
The list above is densely packed with all sorts of expenses.
There is a "server purchase deposit" of 20 million.
There is a "preliminary investment of 30 million in technology research and development".
There are also all sorts of miscellaneous expenses.
Li Menghan carefully examined the receiving accounts for those transfers.
Although the names listed above are some very formal-looking company names.
However, following Lu Wenzhou's instructions, Li Menghan secretly took pictures of all these payment accounts and their corresponding company names with his mobile phone.
After reading it, Li Menghan closed the folder.
He looked at Wang Lei and nodded with great satisfaction:
"Yes, well done. The accounts are very clear, and the staff are very professional."
"Now I can explain things to my dad's side without worry."
Wang Lei rubbed his hands together happily:
"I'm glad Mr. Li is satisfied. Now, if your father wants to invest more, when would that be possible...?"
Li Menghan waved her hand, interrupting him:
"There's no rush. Let's wait until they've finished reading the report."
"Alright, you can go ahead and do your work. I still need to study these materials."
Wang Lei nodded and left.
After Wang Lei left.
Li Menghan immediately sent all the photos she had just taken to Lu Wenzhou.
He left a message on WeChat:
"Brother Lu, I've got the documents. Could you check if there are any problems with them?"
About ten minutes later.
Lu Wenzhou's reply came quickly.
"Meng Han, well done. This information is crucial."
"I just had someone check. All those so-called technical experts on the list are fake. Some of them didn't even graduate from college; they just found some photos online and used their names."
"As for those cash transactions, the companies that received the payments were all shell companies. And after the funds entered these shell companies, they were immediately dispersed and transferred to several anonymous overseas accounts."
"This shows that they didn't buy any servers or do any research and development. They were just laundering money and transferring your investment funds."
Seeing this irrefutable evidence.
Li Menghan clenched her fists in anger.
These scammers really did a flawless job.
If it weren't for Lu Wenzhou's help in investigating these things, he might have really been kept in the dark forever.
Li Menghan asked in WeChat:
"Brother Lu, should we call the police and have them arrested now?"
Lu Wenzhou replied:
"No rush. Although we have the evidence, to ensure everything is foolproof, we need some time to uncover the ultimate beneficiaries of those overseas accounts. Only then can we bring them all down in one fell swoop."
"Keep things as they are and don't alert them. Wait for my message."
Li Menghan replied with a simple "Okay".
……
at the same time.
At Beichen Garden.
Li Ze sat in a chair in the study.
The old man stood in front of him, holding a tablet computer in his hand.
The old man reported to the leader expressionlessly:
"Boss, here's the news that just came in."
"Young Master went to the company today and obtained the falsified bank statements and personnel list from Wang Lei and his group. He sent these documents to Lu Wenzhou for verification."
"In addition, our intelligence department had already collected all the criminal evidence of Wang Lei's fraud gang two days ago, including their overseas money laundering account paths and the information of the ultimate beneficiaries."
"The entire chain of evidence has been completely closed and secured."
The old man looked at Li Ze and asked for instructions:
"Boss, should we start closing in now?"
Li Ze picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
He smiled and said very casually:
"No need. Meng Han is already investigating this matter herself, and Lu Wenzhou is helping her as well."
"Then let those two young people have fun on their own. We'll just treat it as watching a show."
"This is also a good opportunity for Meng Han to grow. As long as they can solve the problem, we shouldn't interfere."
"If they really can't resolve it in the end and mess it up, then it's not too late for us to release the evidence and close the net."
The older man nodded:
"Understood, boss."
