Terrifying Intelligence Gathering Ability

"I propose that I take on the role of Longcheng Biology's new chairman. I will definitely lead the company back to glory," Bai Xinshu said.

The shareholders who had discussed it beforehand naturally nodded in agreement one after another.

Lin Yumo and Guo Yuan made no move. The two simply sat there and watched Bai Xinshu jump about.

Bai Xinshu was probably the theatrical type. After an impassioned speech, he began reminiscing about Lin Yumo's parents, even squeezing out two tears at the corners of his eyes.

Lin Yumo might once have believed that this uncle truly still felt something for her mother. Now, she only found it laughable.

After Bai Xinshu's emotional performance ended, the secretary beside him spoke. "We will now proceed with a show-of-hands vote. Those in favor of Director Bai Xinshu becoming the new chairman, please raise your hands."

Everyone in the conference room except Lin Yumo and Guo Yuan raised their hands.

"Those opposed, please raise your hands."

Lin Yumo raised her hand.

"Based on the company's share distribution, Director Lin Yumo holds 27.2% of the shares, which amounts to 27.2% of the voting rights. The remaining voting shareholders hold 47% of the voting rights. No objections—"

"Wait! Look at this before you continue." Lin Yumo tossed the share transfer agreement in front of the secretary.

After reading the share transfer agreement, the board secretary's expression turned somewhat unnatural.

"Director Lin... Lin Yumo holds 42.8% of the shares, bringing her voting rights to 42.8%. Since Director Lin Yumo's voting rights exceed 34%, her veto takes effect. Mr. Bai Xinshu cannot succeed as chairman."

The board erupted into an uproar.

Bai Xinshu snatched the share transfer agreement away and read it several times before sitting back down with a dark expression.

Seeing this, the board secretary hurriedly announced a recess.

The shareholders left the meeting room in twos and threes.

"Lin Yumo, you really are something. You got your uncles' shares so quickly." Bai Xinshu, who had stayed behind until the end, spoke with an unwilling expression.

"We're nowhere near as capable as you, Mr. Bai," Guo Yuan said disdainfully from the side.

"Who are you? How did you get into a meeting like this? Where are the security guards? Get this nobody out of here."

"Mr. Bai, if I were you, I wouldn't be in such a rush. At the very least, I'd listen until someone finished speaking."

"Heh. Then let's hear what you have to say." Bai Xinshu sneered.

Lin Yumo looked equally curious.

"Bai Xinshu, male, fifty-five years old. In 2019, he purchased two properties on the twelfth floor of Building 6 in Country Garden, where he kept—"

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't say another word!" Bai Xinshu cut Guo Yuan off before he could finish.

"You're already panicking? I haven't even revealed their ID information yet! Oh, right, I have videos too. Want to take a look?"

"Y-you... Yumo... I'm your uncle, your real uncle. You... I..."

Bai Xinshu was sweating profusely. Seeing him like this, Lin Yumo knew Guo Yuan had struck a nerve.

Lin Yumo smiled. "Uncle, I don't need to tell you who you should support in the upcoming board meetings, do I?"

"You. It has to be you. You're my sister's daughter. Longcheng Biology's new chairman can only be you," Bai Xinshu answered without hesitation.

"That's good, then. Guo Yuan, shall we go talk to the others?" Lin Yumo turned to ask him.

"Sure! Let's find your company's CFO first. I happen to have something I'd like to show her."

Watching Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo's retreating backs, Bai Xinshu collapsed into his chair. From beginning to end, he could not figure out how anyone had discovered his two mistresses when he had hidden them so well.

The moment Guo Yuan left the meeting room, he pulled out his phone and called into it, "01."

"I'm here."

"01, help me investigate all traceable financial transactions involving Longcheng Biology director Ma Shuhua."

"Searching... Search complete. The relevant financial records have been sent to your email."

Lin Yumo was stunned when she heard Guo Yuan talking to his phone. What kind of operation was this? He said a single sentence to his phone and could investigate someone else's account transactions? Were bank firewalls just for show?

Of course, with 01's current abilities, it was impossible to breach a bank's firewall. But Ma Shuhua's accounts were not clean to begin with. To avoid being discovered through normal methods, she had deliberately routed many transactions outside the banking system instead, leaving behind traces. Not just 01—even a slightly competent hacker could find them.

Guo Yuan checked the contents of his email and casually forwarded them to Lin Yumo.

Lin Yumo glanced over the transaction details and smiled.

Guo Yuan smiled as well. "All right, it's time to deal with Ma Shuhua. Then we'll have a chat with Sun Ming. Once we get those three on our side, your voting rights in the company will exceed 70%. By then, this company will be yours to call the shots."

Lin Yumo suppressed the curiosity in her heart and nodded.

Led by Lin Yumo, the two arrived at Ma Shuhua's office.

Just as Lin Yumo was about to knock, Guo Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment Ma Shuhua saw them, her face darkened. "Didn't your parents teach you to knock before entering someone else's private room?"

"Sorry. I saw some documents concerning General Manager Ma, and I was so shocked that I forgot," Guo Yuan said with a half-smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said. Yumo, send General Manager Ma a copy of those documents. You have her WeChat, right?"

Lin Yumo nodded and sent the transaction details to Ma Shuhua.

Ma Shuhua picked up her phone and glanced at it. Her limbs instantly went cold, and she collapsed into her chair.

"General Manager Ma, this is only part of it. As far as I know, you still have six million in company funds invested outside. How did that criminal law provision go again?"

"Where a staff member takes advantage of their position to misappropriate public funds for personal use, to engage in illegal activities; or misappropriates a relatively large amount of public funds for profit-making activities; or misappropriates a relatively large amount of public funds and fails to return it after more than three months, it constitutes the crime of misappropriating public funds and shall be punished by fixed-term imprisonment of no more than five years or criminal detention. Where the circumstances are serious, the punishment shall be fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years. Where a huge amount of public funds is misappropriated and not returned, the punishment shall be fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years or life imprisonment." Lin Yumo read aloud from a Baidu entry beside her.

Ma Shuhua's face turned deathly pale in fright.

"General Manager Ma, what do you think would happen if I handed this over to the police?"

"No, no! Please, let me off! I promise I'll never dare do it again."

"General Manager Lin, what do you think?" Guo Yuan tossed the question to Lin Yumo.

"General Manager Ma, you're one of the old hands who started this business alongside my parents. We'll let it go this time, but there won't be a next time. It's just that, at the board meeting in a while, the vote..."

"I-I understand! I'll vote for you and support you as the company's new chairwoman."

"Very good! Then, General Manager Ma, you'll remain the company's CFO. Nothing will change." With that, Lin Yumo turned and left with Guo Yuan.
