Chapter 215: What Must Come Will Come
"If it weren’t for me, would you have the chance to ask me these questions now?" Lin Tian twisted his neck, avoiding looking at Chen Moxiang.
The feeling of being suspected just now made Lin Tian displeased, very displeased, extremely displeased!
"I’m sorry, maybe I used the wrong words, but you know, these interrogations are necessary for my work!"
Chen Moxiang said apologetically, "To ensure Wang Quan has no accomplices and to restore the truth of the matter, I had to suspect you!"
"I don’t want to discuss this question with you!" Lin Tian knew that Chen Moxiang was also acting out of work necessity.
But think about it, I almost got myself killed trying to stop those two people from Sakula Country.
Handing Wang Quan over to your Security Management Institute, even though my personal motive was to protect Bai Shishi’s company from trouble.
But for this, I nearly lost my life.
Your first sentence upon arrival wasn’t even a concern, instead, you suspected me of being in cahoots with Wang Quan?
Wouldn’t that mean suspecting me of being in cahoots with people from Sakula Country too?
Feelings of grievance and injustice suddenly overwhelmed Lin Tian’s heart.
Plunging his mood into a deep low.
Chen Moxiang changed her tone: "I’ve already sent someone to interrogate Wang Quan overnight because you’re involved in this matter, so I’m telling you!"
"We’ve recovered thirty-four artifacts in total and confiscated illegal proceeds from the sale amounting to 120 million, along with two pieces of top-secret military intelligence!"
Chen Moxiang genuinely thanked him: "As a Celestial Dragon Continent citizen, on behalf of the Security Management Institute, I thank you because you helped save the country from great loss!"
This official-style polite speech made Lin Tian smile slightly but he didn’t take it to heart!
Thank you?
Better come up with something tangible, knowing Lin Tian hates verbal gratitude the most!
Just talking gets you nowhere...
Knowing this was a gratitude nearly costing Lin Tian his life!!!
Lin Tian moved his lips: "Actually, compared to these insubstantial thanks, I’m more concerned about how many artifacts were lost and where they went?"
"Sakula Country, thirteen in total!"
Chen Moxiang paused and continued, "According to Wang Quan’s confession, the first time smuggling artifacts, they earned profits of 90 million, along with one other piece of information garnering 30 million!"
"This time, you stopped it in time, otherwise... our country would have lost nearly fifty artifacts in one go!"
Lin Tian considered the value of these artifacts but never thought they’d be worth so much.
Huge profits! It’s really huge profits!!!
"What are your plans for the lost artifacts?" In his heart, Lin Tian hoped the lost artifacts would return to their homeland.
It’s like having something from my home go to yours, if I don’t retrieve it, I feel uneasy.
At least, that’s the kind of person Lin Tian is.
What’s mine is mine, even if you find a way to take it, I’ll find a way to get it back!
"These artifacts should be stored in the Sakula Country museum, at least that’s what Wang Quan said. I’ve already contacted an undercover at the Security Management Institute to go to Sakula Country, to scout the museum, find an opportune moment, and retrieve these artifacts!" Chen Moxiang’s thinking aligned perfectly with Lin Tian’s.
"Seems like we agree!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, fearing this sentence was the most satisfying one Chen Moxiang said since entering the room.
"Alright, you take good care of your wounds, leave the rest of the matters to our Security Management Institute!" Chen Moxiang specifically reminded Lin Tian.
In this veiled statement, Lin Tian heard Chen Moxiang’s implied meaning.
That is, you did well this time, but for future matters, don’t get involved.
This is our Security Management Institute’s business, you don’t need to worry about it!
Lin Tian didn’t say much about this, as he wasn’t the type to meddle, yearning for rare peace, who would willingly interfere?
It’s all to protect the beautiful woman’s company.
"Also, I came today for another matter!"
Chen Moxiang said while looking at Bai Shishi, "It’s about the beautiful woman’s company!"
"Ah, what’s meant to come will always come!" Lin Tian sighed inwardly.
Despite efforts, preventing over thirty artifacts from flowing overseas, Wang Quan relied on the beautiful woman’s export channels for smuggling.
The beautiful woman’s company is sure to face punishment.
"What matter?" Bai Shishi’s expression was steady, having prepared herself since Wang Quan apologized to her.
"Because Wang Quan utilized the beautiful woman’s cosmetic export channels abroad, you as the company owner acted negligently towards internal supervision!"
"According to the superior’s opinion, the beautiful woman’s company must be closed and fined one million!"
"Closed?" Bai Shishi had considered this punitive result, but hearing it left her feeling very disappointed.
The beautiful woman might not compare to the Xianglong Tea House, but it’s her life’s work.
Being closed, who isn’t truly heartbroken?
Chen Moxiang didn’t answer Bai Shishi but continued, "But because your employee Lin Tian timely prevented Wang Quan, saving the country great loss, it’s considered a merit to offset a fault, after our Security Management Institute’s research, the beautiful woman must change its name, the company will be restructured, the fine remains unchanged!"
"I agree!" Bai Shishi nodded almost without hesitation.
Restructure, as the name implies.
It means closing the existing company, selling or ending some business operations, or making significant organizational restructuring.
Restructuring includes splitting, merging, capital reduction, and name change.
Simply put, closing the current beautiful woman company and then regrouping, find a new name to continue in the market.
That’s why Bai Shishi so swiftly agreed.
Closing means no opportunity to reopen a cosmetics company later.
Restructuring represented that all Lin Tian did was still worthwhile!
"You should proceed with this matter soon, the superiors don’t want to see the name ’beautiful woman’ again, and the beautiful woman’s company will be blacklisted, if you don’t change the name, problems will arise continuously!" Chen Moxiang offered this as a friendly reminder.
Having said that, Chen Moxiang stood up and walked towards the door.
"Ah, I have one more thing I want to ask!" Lin Tian called out to her.
Chen Moxiang stopped in place, turned her head to look at Lin Tian lying on the hospital bed.
"What are the identities of those two people from Sakula Country?" After all, Lin Tian did this, who knows whether they might seek revenge.
So knowing their backgrounds in advance is absolutely beneficial.
"If you didn’t mention it, I almost forgot!" Chen Moxiang slapped her forehead, helplessly said.
