Chapter 165 The Truth Finally Revealed: Charity Redresses Injustice
Luo Yichen hung up the phone, his face turned pale, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white.
The voice on the other end of the phone, filled with undisguised malice, was like a poisonous thorn that pierced deeply into his heart.
"They...they transferred the money to the account of a shell company..." He spoke with difficulty, his voice terribly hoarse.
Wu Xinyan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Almost at the same time, reporter Chen's press release spread rapidly as if it had wings.
"Shocking! A well-known charity project is suspected of fraud, and the whereabouts of huge amounts of donations are unknown!" The eye-catching headline, coupled with the picture with the transaction records printed on it, instantly set the Internet on fire.
In the comment section, insults and doubts flooded in like a tide, drowning Wu Xinyan.
Netizens who once praised her kindness and selflessness are now criticizing her as if she were an unforgivable sinner.
Wu Xinyan felt her vision go dark and she could hardly stand.
To make matters worse, Donor Sun, the largest donor to the charity project, came to Wu Xinyan's office in person.
His face was solemn, with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Ms. Wu, I appreciate your love and dedication, but the impact of this incident is too great. I have to withdraw my donation, and I will inform other donors about this..." Every word that donor Sun said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wu Xinyan's heart hard.
She knew that the withdrawal of investment by donor Sun would trigger a chain reaction, and other donors might follow suit, which would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the already precarious charity project.
Luo Yichen hugged Wu Xinyan tightly, staring coldly at the departing figure of donor Sun. He whispered, "Xinyan, don't be afraid. I'm here..." Just then, Investigator Ma called. His tone was serious and anxious, "Mr. Luo, Ms. Wu, the situation is not optimistic..."
Investigator Ma's voice buzzed on the other end of the phone, and every word pierced Wu Xinyan's heart like an icicle.
"Mr. Luo, Ms. Wu, I understand how you feel, but the evidence is conclusive. If you can't give a reasonable explanation within 24 hours, I will have to determine that there is fraud in the charity project and submit a formal report." After hanging up the phone, Wu Xinyan felt darkness in front of her eyes and almost fainted.
Luo Yichen supported the staggering Wu Xinyan, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He immediately mobilized all resources and investigated the flow of funds all night long.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the office was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Luo Yichen's assistants were walking in a hurry, the sound of keyboard tapping could be heard one after another, and everyone was on edge.
Finally, before dawn, Luo Yichen found a breakthrough.
An inconspicuous accountant has recently increased his consumption level and bought a luxury car and a villa.
After an in-depth investigation, Luo Yichen discovered that this young accountant was a pawn planted by his competitors. After being bribed, he tampered with the account information and transferred the charity funds to a shell company.
At the same time, Wu Xinyan was not idle either.
She contacted volunteers of the charity project and recipients who had received help, and collected a large number of testimonies and photos to prove the authenticity and effectiveness of the charity project.
These real cases, like shining stars, light up the dark night sky.
Just then, Luo Yichen's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He answered the phone, his tone calm and firm: "Lawyer Li, prepare to hold a press conference..." He turned to look at Wu Xinyan, his eyes full of tenderness and strength, "Xinyan, the good show has just begun..."
The press conference was packed with people and the spotlights were flashing non-stop, making Wu Xinyan look like a star on the stage.
She took a deep breath, and her clear eyes swept over the people in the audience, her tone firm and powerful: "Today, I want to reveal a truth to everyone..." She displayed the evidence she had collected one by one, including the accountant's transfer records, the instruction emails from competitors, and the actual expenditure details of the charity project.
Every piece of evidence is like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of the competitor.
Under tremendous pressure, the young accountant finally admitted his crime and confessed in tears.
Reporter Chen's face flushed red. He didn't expect that he would be used and become a pawn of his competitor.
He publicly apologized to Wu Xinyan and the charity project, and promised to use his pen to restore the truth of the matter.
Investigator Ma also announced that after reinvestigation, there was no fraud in the charity project and expressed admiration for Wu Xinyan's selfless dedication.
Donor Sun excitedly walked onto the stage, tightly shook Wu Xinyan's hand, and said sincerely: "Ms. Wu, I wronged you! Not only will I restore my previous donation, but I will also make an additional donation to express my apology and admiration!" His move triggered a chain reaction, and other donors also expressed their willingness to continue supporting charity projects, and even new donors joined in.
The reputation of charitable projects has not only been restored, but has reached unprecedented heights.
Wu Xinyan has become a hero in the charity world. Her deeds have been reported by major media outlets, inspiring more people to participate in charity.
Luo Yichen stood in the crowd, looking at Wu Xinyan affectionately, his eyes full of pride and love.
He clenched his fist lightly
At the celebration banquet, there was toasting and laughter.
Wu Xinyan raised her glass gracefully to express her gratitude to all those who supported her.
Just then, the waiter handed her an anonymous letter.
She opened the envelope puzzledly and pulled out the letter inside.
The content of the letter made her expression change suddenly, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
Luo Yichen noticed her strangeness and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xinyan?" Wu Xinyan clutched the letter tightly, her fingertips turning white. She raised her head, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear, and said in a trembling voice, "Luo Yichen... they said... they said..." She stopped talking and stared at the words on the letter - "The game has just begun..."
