CHAPTER 433: CHAPTER 432 INTERROGATION

This time, he had no choice but to admit defeat, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.

Now that the other party has returned to their own country, dealing with Jiang Cheng has become quite difficult. The Yan Family is not a place he can run wild in.

Mark Zuckerberg considered this as spending money to learn a lesson, and as for revenge, he could only look for another opportunity in the future.

Indeed, Mark Zuckerberg did not intend to let Jiang Cheng off so easily. Whenever he found an opportunity, he would make Jiang Cheng pay.

After all, he lost a lot of money this time and couldn’t even complain about it to others. This feeling was truly unbearable.

If Jiang Cheng showed any flaw, Mark Zuckerberg would definitely pounce and take a bite.

After all, for a person who had built such a huge company, Mark Zuckerberg was not a benevolent man.

Back then, a few founding members who started the company with him were kicked out due to his schemes, leaving him in sole control of the company.

Unfortunately, Mark Zuckerberg didn’t have that kind of opportunity now; his end was near.

He was sitting in his office, giving instructions to his personal secretary.

"I’ve already reviewed the company’s report for this month. Overall, there are no significant issues. The company’s operations are satisfactory to me." After saying this, Mark Zuckerberg paused and glanced at his secretary, who was listening attentively.

Mark Zuckerberg’s secretary was truly outstanding, with blonde hair and blue eyes that suited his taste, and an impeccable figure.

After glancing at her, Mark Zuckerberg continued, "However, there are some minor issues here and here. Discuss them with the staff below and have them address them immediately."

The secretary, after receiving the instructions from her boss, quickly turned around and left the office.

Mark Zuckerberg watched her gradually walk away, starting to calculate in his mind.

"What an enchanting little vixen!" Mark Zuckerberg muttered to the departing figure of the secretary.

He was confident in his ability to win over the secretary.

For someone as wealthy and influential as him, these women would love to be noticed by him.

However, Mark Zuckerberg probably wouldn’t have the chance today, and it might be hard in the future as well.

Boss! Bad news, the tax bureau’s people have come to audit the company!

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit burst into the office, shouting loudly to Mark Zuckerberg as soon as he entered.

This unexpected turn of events interrupted Mark Zuckerberg’s thoughts, diverting his attention from the female secretary.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man, Mark Zuckerberg frowned and said with some displeasure, "Why panic? What’s there to panic about? It’s just the tax bureau people, let them audit; haven’t we had their checks many times without issue?"

This middle-aged man who rushed into his office was the head of Facebook Company’s finance department, specifically managing accounting matters.

The tax bureau’s audit is related to his work, which is why he was so anxious to find his boss.

This time is different though; it seems like the tax bureau people have some evidence. This audit seems very serious!" The finance head said, slightly out of breath.

When he saw the tax bureau representatives, he knew something was wrong. In the past, they’d check things casually without any intent to find anything.

But this time was totally different; when he tried to get friendly with them, he noticed their stern, uncompromising expressions.

The tax officials were very serious this time, as if they already had some evidence, entering the company without any leniency to audit.

Seeing this, the finance head panicked and hurried to inform his boss.

After hearing this, Mark Zuckerberg was not too concerned and said casually, "What’s there to be scared of? Even if they find some minor problems, do you think my connections can’t suppress it?"

As he said this, Mark Zuckerberg appeared very confident, as if he wasn’t afraid of the tax bureau at all.

He indeed had a reason to be confident; given his connections with the United States’ upper echelons, ordinary financial issues could hardly trouble him.

What company doesn’t have some tax evasion problems? Moreover, what the tax bureau can uncover are just minor issues; they can’t touch him at all.

The finance head saw his boss unmoved, so he leaned in and said, "But what if they uncover those major issues? If those things are discovered, it might be very hard to suppress them."

Hearing this, Mark Zuckerberg lowered his voice and said, "How could those things be found? We’ve done everything so secretly, and all the backups are stored on an independent server. There’s no way outsiders can get hold of them!"

If those things were exposed, Mark Zuckerberg would indeed find it difficult to extricate himself.

After all, his company had evaded taxes worth several billion US dollars; that’s no small number. Even he would struggle to suppress the matter.

As they were still discussing, several tax bureau officials directly entered the office.

"Please come with us to cooperate with our investigation." With that, they intended to take them away.

Mark Zuckerberg, of course, wouldn’t just sit and wait to be taken and quickly said, "You can’t just take me away like this; you don’t have any evidence."

Seeing Mark Zuckerberg still in denial, the tax official stated directly, "We received an anonymous tip and have ample evidence, proving your company evaded billions in taxes."

After which, they took Mark Zuckerberg away, not even giving him a chance to explain.

The tip the tax bureau received was naturally Jiang Cheng’s doing; it was he who handed over those pieces of evidence to the tax bureau.

Faced with such a large case, the tax officials dared not delay and rushed to Facebook’s headquarters.

And this was just the beginning; tax issues alone wouldn’t take down Mark Zuckerberg, but there were many more things awaiting him!

Facebook Company, this time, really might be facing its end!

Mark Zuckerberg was directly taken to the tax bureau; initially, he wanted to see if there was any room for maneuvering, at least to prepare himself.

But the tax officials didn’t give him any chance at all and directly brought him to the interrogation room.

After being brought to the interrogation room, Mark Zuckerberg finally couldn’t remain calm.

In this situation, it wasn’t just an investigation; it seemed the tax bureau had ample evidence, and bringing him in was just a procedural interrogation.
