I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

The next day, Old Wu came to a quiet cafe as agreed. Li Wenbo was already sitting there with an untouched cup of coffee in front of him, looking a little nervous.

"Old Wu, why did you suddenly ask me out? What's the matter?" Li Wenbo asked straight to the point.

Old Wu sat down and whispered, "Mr. Li, I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately. Tianyu Group seems to be having some capital problems lately. I heard you're working on a secret project."

Li Wenbo's face turned pale instantly. He looked around and lowered his voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. Tianyu Group's financial situation has always been good."

"Don't pretend, Mr. Li," Old Wu continued. "We've got Zhao Minghui's account under our radar. His money is very likely flowing into your group. If you don't cooperate now, you'll be in trouble once we get to the bottom of it."

Li Wenbo was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, I can tell you something, but you have to ensure my safety."

"As long as you cooperate, we will definitely do our best." Old Wu nodded.

Li Wenbo pulled a slip of paper from his pocket. On it were written a string of numbers and several names. "This is the account information for some unidentified funds that have flowed into our group in recent months. This money was transferred in through various channels, and we don't know the specific source. But I suspect this money may be related to Zhao Minghui."

"This information is incredibly important!" Old Wu took the note and quickly took a photo for the record. "You've done a great job, Mr. Li. We'll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

Li Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes: "I hope you can hurry up, I don't want to be implicated."

Meanwhile, Chen Neng was investigating another of Zhao Minghui's connections. He discovered that Zhao Minghui had frequent contact with a woman named Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was the head of a small investment company and had no connection to Zhao Minghui's business, but Chen Neng felt something was amiss.

He decided to talk to Lin Xiao. In Lin Xiao's company, Chen Neng directly stated his identity and purpose.

"What is your relationship with Zhao Minghui?" Chen Neng asked straight to the point.

Lin Xiao seemed a little flustered: "We are just ordinary friends, nothing special."

"Would ordinary friends transfer money frequently?" Chen Neng sneered and took out a transfer record. "What's going on with this money?"

Lin Xiao's face turned pale in an instant: "This... this is an investment. He wants to buy shares in my company."

"Investment money?" Chen Neng sneered, "Then why was this money transferred to a mysterious account in the end?"

Lin Xiao lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, I'll tell you. Zhao Minghui asked me to help him launder money, and he gave me a bonus. I thought it was just an ordinary capital turnover, but I didn't expect it to involve such a big thing."

"Do you know where the money finally went?" Chen Neng asked.

"I only know that it was transferred to an account called 'Tianyu Group'," Lin Xiao whispered. "Zhao Minghui said that as long as I transferred the money, he would never bother me again."

Chen Neng was shocked. This information coincided with what Old Wu had heard. It seemed that Tianyu Group was the key to all this.

Back in the office, Chen Neng and Lao Wu quickly gathered all the clues. They realized that Tianyu Group might be secretly carrying out a huge illegal project, and Zhao Minghui was just a small pawn in it. They had to act quickly to expose this conspiracy thoroughly.

"We need to gather all the evidence and submit it to the procuratorate," Chen Neng said. "We can't wait any longer. Tianyu Group's actions are becoming increasingly bold. We must stop them."

Old Wu nodded. "I'll contact the procuratorate and ask them to send someone over. We can't let these criminals get away with it any longer."

Just as they were about to act, they suddenly received a call. A deep voice came from the other end of the line: "I know you are investigating Tianyu Group. If you don't want to cause trouble, stop immediately."

A deep voice on the other end of the line warned Chen Neng and Old Wu to stop investigating Tianyu Group. They suspected it was someone within the group. As a large corporation with complex relationships, this threatening behavior suggested the other party had noticed their investigation and was attempting to stop them through intimidation.

After receiving the mysterious call, Chen Neng and Lao Wu realized the gravity of the situation. They decided to take immediate action to ensure their own safety and the smooth progress of the investigation. Chen Neng quickly contacted the police, requesting protection and explaining the threat they faced. The police said they would arrange for protection as soon as possible.

Old Wu was responsible for compiling all the investigative evidence, including the flow of funds in Zhao Minghui's account, his connection to Tianyu Group, and the information provided by Li Wenbo and Lin Xiao. They compiled this evidence into a detailed report and submitted it to the procuratorate through formal channels, requesting its involvement in the investigation.

After receiving the evidence submitted by Chen Neng and Lao Wu, the procuratorate quickly initiated a review process. Prosecutors conducted a preliminary assessment of the evidence, deeming it to be of significant value and deciding to initiate an investigation. The procuratorate notified the police to assist in the investigation and requested further assistance from Chen Neng and Lao Wu.

Upon receiving notification from the procuratorate, the police quickly established a special task force to conduct a covert investigation into Tianyu Group. Using legal means, they monitored Tianyu Group's financial accounts and discovered multiple suspicious fund flows. They also conducted covert investigations of Tianyu Group personnel, searching for further leads.

To ensure the safety of Li Wenbo and Lin Xiao, the police moved them to a safe location and arranged for their protection. The police also provided them with legal assistance to ensure they were adequately protected while cooperating with the investigation.

Under the joint action of the police and the procuratorate, the criminal activities of Tianyu Group gradually surfaced. The police used technical means to trace the source of the mysterious phone call and found that it was a call from a senior executive of Tianyu Group who tried to stop the investigation.

After gathering sufficient evidence, the procuratorate formally filed a public prosecution against Tianyu Group. After the court accepted the case, it tried the individuals involved in the Tianyu Group in accordance with the law. Ultimately, the main person in charge of Tianyu Group received a heavy sentence, and the relevant individuals involved in the case were also punished by law.

Although the issue of Tianyu Group's capital flow has been investigated, the identity of the murderer of the wealthy businessman Zhao Minghui remains a mystery. On the other side, the protagonists Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei are also investigating.
