The Discovery

Lian Zheng and Sophie Lee sat in their office, pouring over the evidence they had gathered. They had been working on the case for weeks, and they were finally starting to get somewhere.

But as they dug deeper, they began to realize that something wasn't right. The evidence didn't add up, and there were too many inconsistencies.

"What's going on?" Lian Zheng asked, his frustration growing. "This doesn't make sense."

Sophie Lee frowned, her eyes scanning the documents in front of her. "I don't know," she said. "But I think we're missing something."

Just then, the phone rang. Lian Zheng answered it, his voice curt. "What?"

The voice on the other end was hesitant. "Lian Zheng, I think I found something. Something big."

Lian Zheng's heart raced as he listened to the voice on the other end. It was one of their investigators, and he sounded serious.

"What is it?" Lian Zheng asked, his pen poised over his notebook.

"I think I found the connection between the board of directors and the embezzlement," the investigator said. "But it's not what we expected."

Lian Zheng's eyes met Sophie Lee's, and they both knew that this was it. This was the break they had been waiting for.

Lian Zheng and Sophie Lee sat in stunned silence as the investigator revealed the shocking truth. "It was none other than Mu Liqing, the previous CEO of Golden Dragon Enterprises," the investigator said. "She was the mastermind behind the embezzlement and the one who was manipulating the board of directors."

Lian Zheng's eyes widened in shock. "Mu Liqing? But why? She was the one who handed over the reins to me."

The investigator hesitated before responding. "It seems that she had been embezzling funds from the company for years, using the money to fund her own lavish lifestyle. But when she realized that her time as CEO was coming to an end, she knew she had to act fast to maintain her grip on the company."

Sophie Lee's eyes narrowed. "And that's when she began to manipulate the board of directors, using them to try and take you down, Lian Zheng."

The investigator nodded. "Exactly. She wanted to ensure that she could still control the company from behind the scenes, even after she was no longer CEO."

Lian Zheng's face set in a determined expression. "We need to take her down, now. We can't let her get away with this."

Sophie Lee nodded in agreement. "I'll start preparing the legal documents. We'll take her to court and make sure she pays for her crimes."

With newfound determination, they set out to bring Mu Liqing to justice, determined to protect Golden Dragon Enterprises and its employees from her corruption.
