The following morning, Baimaiti personally delivered the accounts to the audit team's meeting room with his entourage.

As the four cardboard boxes were placed one by one on the conference table, everyone was dumbfounded.

Seeing that no one spoke, Baimaiti smiled and said to Huang Xiaozhi.

"I'm so sorry, Director Huang. Your arrival was so sudden; the county wasn't prepared..."

In the past few days, the county has concentrated its efforts and finally sorted out the accounts for the past four years...

You review this first, and we'll supplement it if there are any omissions or gaps..."

Huang Xiaozhi glanced at the four cardboard boxes on the table, swallowed hard, and said in a cold voice.

"County Magistrate Bai... Fu Yuan, what do you mean by this? Why are you suddenly producing so many materials..."

"How long will this trial take... You're deliberately making things difficult for us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Baimaiti waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Director Huang, please don't misunderstand... There's a lot of information, it looks quite intimidating..."

Once you start reviewing it, you'll see... The main problem is that there are a lot of original documents, which take up a lot of space...

After saying that, he opened the box marked "1991" and took out an account book.

"Look, we've also created an index to facilitate auditing... It'll definitely make things twice as efficient..."

After Baimaiti finished speaking, seeing that the audit team members didn't respond, he smiled and said...

"Then I won't disturb your work any longer... I'll be going now, everyone please continue..."

After saying that, he left the meeting room with his men without waiting for Huang Xiaozhi to speak.

The meeting room door closed, and one of the audit team members could no longer hold back.

He slammed the notebook he was holding onto the table and shouted angrily.

"This is outrageous... They're trying to force us out with a mountain of bills..."

No wonder they've been ignoring us; they're trying to make us give up...

Upon hearing this, another group member plopped down in a chair and chimed in with his own words.

"Too arrogant, we've seen plenty of people who don't cooperate..."

This is the first time I've seen someone resist an audit using such tactics...

Once someone took the lead, everyone in the audit team started talking.

Complaints rose and fell in the meeting room, quickly becoming a cacophony.

Looking at the four cardboard boxes lined up in a row, Huang Xiaozhi sneered and spoke.

"No wonder he was so confident... I thought I had really misunderstood him, that's all the tricks he had..."

We were underestimated... They thought we had too many accounts, that we couldn't keep up with them, and that we'd have to return them...

As he spoke, he picked up the index on the table, pointed to the cardboard box, and said in a deep voice.

"Come on, stop cursing, let's show our skills... don't let Fuyuan County look down on us..."

After these words were spoken, there were no more complaints in the meeting room.

The audit team members were incredibly motivated, working with exceptional seriousness.

The 1991 cardboard box was opened, and documents were laid out on the conference table...

However, as the audit progressed, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.

Baimaiti didn't lie to them; the accounts in Fuyuan County were very well organized and indexed.

Staring at the index, Huang Xiaozhi immediately pointed the finger at "road maintenance fees".

Soon, following the index, the original vouchers were unearthed one by one.

Approvals from the Price Bureau and Audit Bureau, meeting minutes from the county government, monthly income and expenditure details...

All the necessary documents were included, and the signature of the person in charge was not missing...

In less than an hour, the road maintenance fee was completely restored on paper.

Looking at the documents in front of him, Huang Xiaozhi suddenly realized that what Baimaiti said was true.

The fact that Fuyuan County brought so much data is either making things difficult for them or there are just too many original documents...

After checking the 1991 accounts, Huang Xiaozhi stared at the remaining boxes and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he didn't speak, one of the team members handed him a cigarette and said in a deep voice.

"Director Huang, just because one account is fine doesn't mean everything is fine..."

This has happened before; they'll just give you a no-problem receipt first to lower your guard...

They stuffed the problematic accounts into a pile of documents, betting we wouldn't investigate thoroughly...

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. He pointed to the box from 1988 and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Kai is right, keep investigating... I don't believe Fuyuan County is really that clean..."

The 1991 accounts were collected, and the 1988 accounts were laid out one by one...

Soon, one of the team members noticed the problem and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Director Huang, look here... there was a 3 million yuan water conservancy project in 1988..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaozhi quickly took the documents from the man's hand and began to carefully examine them.

Financial applications, funding records, procurement vouchers... everything is included.

After reviewing the materials, Huang Xiaozhi glanced at the group member and asked in a deep voice.

"The paperwork and documents are all complete... what's the problem?"

The team member immediately handed over another document and said in a deep voice.

"According to the receipts, this entire special fund was used to purchase building materials such as cement and steel bars..."

This is the inventory record from 1988... There are no inventory entry or exit records on it...

Huang Xiaozhi was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately took the inventory records and carefully searched through them.

After searching unsuccessfully, he immediately addressed the group.

"Concentrate our efforts here and find the relevant records of the entry and exit of supplies..."

After some searching, the group discovered that the supplies had only appeared on the purchase invoices.

Neither inventory information nor usage information could provide any evidence of the existence of this batch of materials.

Everyone present was a seasoned auditor, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Three million yuan in special funds—if it's embezzlement, that's one thing; but if it's corruption, it's enough for a life sentence...

This startling discovery made the atmosphere in the meeting room unusually heavy.

All the auditors looked at Huang Xiaozhi, waiting for his next instructions.

Now that things have come to this, Huang Xiaozhi has become much calmer.

He frowned, lit a cigarette, and muttered to himself as he flipped through the documents.

"Something feels off about this..."

Qi Tongwei only started working at Fuyuan this year... What does this 1988 debt have to do with him...?

He had barely finished speaking when he paused, realizing what was happening in an instant.

He has spent most of his life working in auditing and understands the significance of auditing.

Auditing is not only a measuring stick, but also an invincible and sharp knife.

When he first arrived at Fuyuan, his dilemma stemmed from his reluctance to become that blade.

But then he realized he was no longer the sharp blade, but a spy within a spy, a blade within a blade...

Once he understood all this, he couldn't help but begin to regret it.

I regret not knowing when to quit while I was ahead, I regret opening that cardboard box from 1988...

Seeing that he remained silent, one of the group members hesitated for a moment before tentatively offering a reminder.

"Director Huang, this three million yuan special fund... this is a huge matter, shouldn't we report it immediately...?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaozhi felt extremely bitter.

He glanced at the team member, grinned with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice.

"Report it? Who do you want me to report it to...?"

Upon hearing this, the meeting room fell silent instantly; no one dared to speak again.

Huang Xiaozhi's question was simple, but it was difficult to handle.

According to organizational procedures, he should report this matter to the supervisor of the audit bureau.

However, this audit task was personally assigned by Director Jiang of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

Who to report this message to first has become an unsolvable problem...

After finishing his cigarette, Huang Xiaozhi waved to everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Go have lunch... leave me alone..."

Seeing this, no one dared to say anything more and they all left the meeting room.

After everyone left, Huang Xiaozhi immediately locked the door and dialed Jiang Nengwu's number.

The phone rang for a long time, each ring sending a shiver down his spine.

Finally, the call connected, and Huang Xiaozhi didn't dare to waste a second and immediately spoke.

"Director Jiang, this is Huang Xiaozhi... We've encountered a problem with the investigation at Fuyuan..."

There was a special fund of three million that could very well have been misappropriated, or even involved in corruption...

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Nengwu immediately spoke.

"This is a major discovery! Report it to your superiors immediately... I'll also report it to..."

Before Jiang Nengwu could finish speaking, Huang Xiaozhi immediately interrupted him.

"Not this year's, it's a special project from 1988... a water diversion project..."

Jiang Nengwu was taken aback upon hearing this, and his breathing became heavier.

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately lowered his voice and said.

"Director Huang, don't report this yet... keep it quiet for now, let me ask the higher-ups first..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaozhi sighed and said with a wry smile.

"Director Jiang, please don't make things difficult for me... just pretend I never made this call..."

It's lunchtime, I'm going to the cafeteria for lunch, it'll take about half an hour..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Nengwu's reaction.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaozhi made a face and muttered something under his breath.

"Why bother..."
