Lin Hai was utterly dumbfounded on the spot.

Ouyang Xiaoya, expressionless yet seemingly tinged with a hint of chill, said, "There's a major problem with the finances!" These few words squeezed out from between the teeth sent chills down one's spine.

Hearing what his beloved wife had said, he gaped like a washbasin, his whole body unresponsive, feeling as if his brain had either disconnected from the internet or crashed entirely.

"What? You think it's inappropriate for me to be enraged over a financial issue?"

Ouyang Xiaoya paced back and forth, deep in thought, resembling an ancient female general strategizing behind the scenes, as she began to explain slowly:

"Finance is the lifeline of a company. Once there's an issue, it can grow from minor to major and affect the entire company."

"Now you're also part of the company's management. Stop thinking with a security guard's mindset all the time. You should look towards the long-term future. Finances are like blood; without blood, you lose life force."

"If problems are not detected and corrected early, the company could eventually be paralyzed, its flesh and bones rotting away until it gets crushed by the competition and disappears from the business world."

"Understand?"

After Ouyang Xiaoya finished talking, she noticed Lin Hai was still in a frozen state, which caused a surge of frustration in her chest, and the expression of 'exasperation at his inability to grasp the basics' reappeared on her face.

Is this really my fiancé? I'm kindly trying to impart some knowledge and experience in managing a company—an opportunity others would beg for. Not only does this guy not cherish it, but he's also daydreaming!

Within Lin Hai's heart was a sensation as though he was experiencing both the chill and the burn at once. If he had said just a few more words just now, he would have probably blurted out everything about his affair with Wang Muxin even before CEO Mrs. Ouyang noticed.

So, it was just a minor issue like company finances, a false alarm.

"Thank goodness, what a relief," someone shouted silently in his heart.

"Director Lin!"

Lin Hai was still secretly rejoicing, completely ignoring Ouyang Xiaoya's repeated calls.

"Lin Hai!"

"What a relief, I can breathe easy now," Lin Hai patted his chest.

"Beast Lin!"

Her decibels climbed a notch, nearly yanking Lin Hai's ears off as she shouted.

"CEO's calling me?" Lin Hai finally snapped back to reality, looking at the wrathful Mrs. Ouyang, and blinked dry-eyed while squeezing out an apologetic smile, asking.

"You dead beast, I'm talking to you, and you dare to zone out?" Ouyang Xiaoya was so angry that her majestic figure trembled like an avalanche, her figure undulating before Lin Hai's eyes, making him nearly nosebleed.

"CEO, it's a misunderstanding, I was thinking about the financial issue," Lin Hai quickly defended himself.

"Say it, what exactly were you thinking about!"

Faced with the CEO's interrogation, Lin Hai once again resorted to his usual bag of rhetorical tricks, taking a deep sigh and saying:

"Looking back on those unenlightened years, the times on the bed were turbulent, now thinking about it makes one blush with shyness."

Ouyang Xiaoya was taken aback, finding Beast Lin's suddenly articulate way of speaking somewhat hard to digest.

However, after carefully gauging the meaning behind those words, Ouyang Xiaoya felt as if her lungs would explode.

At such a serious moment, his mind was wandering off fantasizing about some indecent scenes—wherefore art thou, integrity!

Standing to the side, Wang Muxin wanted to laugh out loud but was afraid of President Ouyang's presence, so she could only hold back her laughter, covering her mouth. Looking at her lover, her gaze softened even more, thinking to herself, "Not only is Linlin well-endowed and skilled, but he is also quite witty with words. No wonder his 'Tongue Technique' is impressive—it must be the result of good language skills."

Lin Hai instantly appeared more tall and mighty in Wang Muxin's eyes, transforming into a triple-threat man with outstanding capabilities in mechanics and Chinese.

"Damn beast, you..."

Ouyang Xiaoya's furious words were cut short as Lin Hai's eyes twinkled more rapidly than traffic lights, incessantly hinting her with his gaze to look aside.

The CEO suddenly realized, aside from the damn beast, Wang Muxin was also in the office; she almost lost her composure due to her rage.

Forcing down her rage, Ouyang Xiaoya coldly asked: "Director Lin, how do you plan to resolve this issue?"

"Uh, CEO, I only have a general idea about the incident since I was busy with urgent matters outside today. Could you please explain the details to me?" Lin Hai asked, pretending to be ignorant.

With a heavy snort, Ouyang Xiaoya accepted defeat.

Grinding her teeth and restraining her temper, she said irritably: "During the company's audit, a huge sum of money was mysteriously transferred out of the account yesterday, and we have not been able to identify the perpetrator. What do you think?"

"CEO, how much money was transferred?"

"150 million."

"What?! That much!"

Lin Hai couldn't help but gasp in shock.

150 million, just vanished? No wonder the CEO was so furious; anyone would be thunderous with rage.

"Director Lin, you and Director Muxin are in charge of financial management, you must thoroughly investigate this matter, or else the two of you can wait to be dismissed."

"CEO, why not call the police?" Lin Hai quickly asked seriously, as this was a major issue that could not be treated lightly.

Daring to steal the company's money was equivalent to stealing his own future money. How could he let this slide? The matter must be investigated.

"Call the police? If we did, where would the company's reputation stand? Beast Lin, haven't you been bragging every day about how capable you are and how many friends you have? Find me some financial experts, show some real skill."

Ouyang Xiaoya also wanted to take this opportunity to test Lin Hai.

Lin Hai nodded earnestly and agreed: "Don't worry, CEO, I'll immediately find a top-tier financial talent."

"I hope you don't disappoint me, or I will not show any mercy. Dismissal is certain."

Lin Hai nodded, saying: "Rest assured, CEO, leave it to this beast, oh no, this director."

Upon finishing, Lin Hai sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette in front of the beautiful Ouyang and beautiful Muxin, and thought of several people in his mind: Judge, Su Wanjing, Yu Tianlin, Old Mr. Tao, Mayor Tao, Xia Chuqing...

If the Judge could be persuaded to take the case, a thorough investigation would be guaranteed, but he was abroad, which presented inconvenience and identity issues. The other candidates were also inconvenient to deploy.

After careful thought, the most suitable person available was Yu Tianlin.

"CEO, watch closely, when I call on my friends, there's always someone to hand me toilet paper no matter where I crap."

After saying that, Lin Hai dialed Yu Tianlin's phone number and shared the request with him.

Ten minutes later, Murong Xue's secretary reported to Xiaoya: "President, there's someone outside looking for you, sent by Director Lin."

"Let him in."

Shortly after, a middle-aged man in a neat suit, carrying a briefcase, slightly plump, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a shrewd aura, walked in, bowed to Ouyang Xiaoya and Lin Hai, and politely said: "My humble name is Huo Hao, nicknamed 'Financial Sniper', an expert in auditing sent by Mr. Zhuge."

"Holy crap? A subordinate of the 'God of Healthcare', he's good?"
