#Yanshi Film Industry CEO Arrested for Tax Evasion#

#Yanshi Film Industry Involved in 2 Billion Tax Evasion#

#Yanshi Film Industry Evaded Taxes for Ten Years, 2 Billion in Tax Evasion#

Several related topics have simultaneously become hot searches, ranking in the top three. Each hot search is followed by an explosive word, and the number of clicks and comments keeps increasing. Regardless of how the public relations personnel of Yanshi Film Industry try to suppress the hot searches and control the comments, they cannot overcome the genuine anger and resentment of netizens.

“I knew it, Yanshi Film Industry is not a legitimate company. Some time ago, there was a defamation case involving Qiu Hongguang, and later there was an accompanying drinking incident. Now they have been found to be evading taxes.”

“Oh my God, 2 billion! My monthly salary is only ten thousand. It would take me several thousand years to earn that much, and I would have to live without eating or drinking from birth.”

“Hey, you forgot one qualifier, ten years. They evaded 200 million in taxes per year. If you earn 200,000 in a year, you would be considered exceptional.”

“These parasites of the country should be locked up. Frankly speaking, they are stealing the country’s assets to fatten themselves.”

When the amount is too large, people’s sensitivity to the figure decreases to a simple number. But when they seriously calculate the amount based on their own salary, everyone can’t help but feel extremely angry.

Under a topic called #How Big Is the Gap Between People#, onlookers left messages one after another.

“Thanks for asking. It’s our lifetime salary, which can’t even compare to the amount of taxes they evade in a single day.”

As the situation escalated, the stock value of Yanshi Film Industry plummeted in a straight downward line. Shareholders angrily criticized Yan Minghui while quickly selling their stocks in an attempt to minimize their losses.

Lin Hanchuan constantly monitored the online dynamics. He took advantage of the lowest stock price of Yanshi Film Industry and secretly bought in. The colorful lines on the computer screen reflected in his eyes, appearing complex and indistinguishable.

While he was busy, his secretary knocked on the door of his office with a hesitant expression. “CEO Lin, your… mother is here.”

Lin Hanchuan’s movements paused slightly, and he closed his computer. “Please let her in.”

Mother Yan wore a navy blue cheongsam with a round and plump white pearl necklace around her neck. Her well-defined red lips revealed her exquisite makeup as she took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate eyes.

The incident happened so suddenly that Mother Yan was unprepared. She didn’t understand the company’s affairs, only knowing that the situation this time was significant, to the point that even Yan Minghui couldn’t come out unscathed. However, she didn’t know the specifics of what would happen.

After Yan Minghui was taken away by the tax authorities, Mother Yan was at a loss and could only come to Lin Hanchuan for help.

Seeing Lin Hanchuan, Mother Yan seemed to regain some composure. After the secretary left, she nervously looked around and carefully closed the door. “Weilou, do you know what happened to your father?”

Lin Hanchuan looked at her actions calmly without uttering a word.

“Your father couldn’t possibly have done such a thing.” Mother Yan walked a few steps closer to Lin Hanchuan, tightly gripping his hand with an anxious gaze. “Weilou, do you know how to help your father?”

Lin Hanchuan didn’t struggle free; he simply stared at Mother Yan quietly.

Perhaps due to nervousness or other reasons, Mother Yan’s delicate nails dug into Ling Hanchuan’s hand, but she was oblivious to it. Speaking softly as if afraid of being heard, she said, “Mom has no other options. You know, Mom doesn’t understand these big matters, so I can only come to you…”

“Tax evasion is a criminal case, and I can’t do anything about it.” Lin Hanchuan lowered his gaze and said slowly.

Mother Yan loosened her grip on his fingers. She stared blankly at Lin Hanchuan, her beautiful eyes seemingly flickering with many thoughts yet appearing empty and desolate, as if she didn’t think of anything at all.

Lin Hanchuan didn’t disturb her and stood aside, waiting for her to regain her composure.

Since marrying into the Yan family, Mother Yan had lived a pampered life. She could hardly recall what her ordinary life was like before. She thought about the millions of dollars she spent on maintenance and cosmetic procedures each year.

Then there was her so-called intimate but actually scheming wife circle. She couldn’t be sure how they were mocking her behind her back now… Mother Yan was filled with panic. She clenched her nails and suddenly turned her gaze toward Lin Hanchuan.

In that instant, her expression seemed conflicted, as if she saw a glimmer of hope. Her conflicting emotions distorted her face, making her beautiful features contort as if they were transforming in water. She forced a smile and gently embraced Lin Hanchuan.

Enveloped in the faint fragrance emanating from Mother Yan, Lin Hanchuan’s neck was encircled by her fair arms. The tender mother whispered softly in his ear, “Weilou, help your father, please. Our family can’t be without him.”

Lin Hanchuan remained silent.

Thinking that Lin Hanchuan didn’t understand her intention, Mother Yan released her grip and grabbed Lin Hanchuan’s shoulders, exerting great force. She said, “Weilou, go to the tax bureau and explain that you did everything. Please, okay?”

“Your father manages such a large company. If something happens to him, the company will be ruined, and both our mother and son will be finished!”

“You used to hold a managerial position in the company. If you go, there shouldn’t be any problem!”

Under Mother Yan’s relentless coercion, Lin Hanchuan looked at her with an ambiguous expression. He slowly freed himself from her grasp and said, “If you’re concerned about your quality of life, I can provide for you.”

Unaware of his offer, Mother Yan continued, “Rest assured, I consulted a lawyer. In this situation, at most, it’s a three-year sentence. You’re still young, and three years will pass quickly…”

Lin Hanchuan felt some pity for Yan Weilou. His father treated him as his possession, and his mother wanted him to replace his father in prison.

In his heart, the Yan family was a happy family with a kind father and a loving mother. They weren’t much different from any ordinary family, although his parents were strict with him. It was all an expression of love.

Now, faced with a great disaster, the true nature of Yan Weilou’s parents had been completely exposed.

“I refuse.” Lin Hanchuan lowered his gaze, uncertain if he sympathized or pitied the original host’s life.

Mother Yan, who was incessantly trying to persuade him, paused for a moment. “What did you say?”

Lin Hanchuan repeated, “I refuse.”

Mother Yan raised her hand to slap Lin Hanchuan, but he intercepted it with one hand, stopping her midway. She trembled with anger, her entire body shaking. Her once gentle and elegant demeanor disappeared completely. “You ungrateful child! We’ve raised you with so much effort, and you can’t even do a little favor for your own father. We’ve raised you in vain!”

“What you’re asking is for me to take the blame for him,” Lin Hanchuan released Mother Yan’s hand.

Unwilling to give up, Mother Yan, with her sharply lined eyes, took on a fierce and ruthless gaze, completely different from her usual gentleness. “Yan Weilou, we’ve invested countless energy and money to raise you. How can you be so ungrateful? Is this how we’ve taught you?!”

Not wanting to hear her selfish and malicious words any longer, Lin Hanchuan pressed the alarm button under his desk. Security personnel quickly arrived on the floor. They didn’t recognize Mother Yan but knew she was a stranger causing trouble. Two security guards restrained her, one on each side, and one of them said, “Ma’am, please leave.”

Mother Yan never expected Lin Hanchuan to be so heartless. She stared fiercely at him. “Your father was right. You ungrateful child! We shouldn’t have given birth to you in the first place!”

The security guards half-forcibly escorted Mother Yan out of the office. She stumbled along, cursing at Lin Hanchuan all the way. “You disobedient and ungrateful child! Your heart is as cold and hard as a stone. You’ll have a miserable future!”

The employees outside the office witnessed everything. Some keen-eyed individuals recognized Mother Yan’s identity, and everyone looked at Lin Hanchuan with various expressions, but no one said a word.

The secretary cleared her throat and waved her hand to greet the employees. “Stop staring and get back to work! Is your work finished? Why are you watching the commotion?”

She herded the employees back to their workstations like little chicks. Then she turned and entered the office, looking cautious. “President Yan, are you okay?”

Lin Hanchuan had already sat back in his chair and reopened his computer. He glanced up at the secretary and said, “What could be wrong with me?”

The secretary opened her mouth to speak but didn’t want to disturb Lin Hanchuan’s work. She quietly closed the door and hurriedly went about her tasks.

Lin Hanchuan had no emotional fluctuations over what had just happened. The only slight change in his mood was due to Yan Weilou. He simply blocked all contact with Yan Weilou’s parents and blacklisted their contact information.

Such parents didn’t deserve to be called parents at all.

After exposing her true self, Mother Yan, Lin Hanchuan didn’t need to show any mercy to the subordinates of the Yanshi Film Industry.

Instead of returning to the Yan residence, Mother Yan went to visit Yan Minghui after leaving the Starlight Entertainment building. After completing the registration process, she finally saw Yan Minghui, who had been without news for a whole day and night.

Compared to Mother Yan, who was exquisitely made up, Yan Minghui looked more than a bit haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, and dark circles formed underneath. The once handsome and refined man now had disheveled hair and a weary expression, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

When he saw Mother Yan, his eyes widened slightly, with a look of desperate determination. His voice was hoarse. “What did he say?”

Stunned by Yan Minghui’s transformation, Mother Yan took a while to regain her senses. She looked at her husband hesitantly and said, “He refuses.”

“That bastard!” Yan Minghui cursed under his breath. Since there were official staff members standing nearby, he didn’t dare to speak too specifically. He only said, “Go out and sell the house and the car. Let the company figure out a way to come up with 10 billion.”

“10 billion!” Mother Yan exclaimed. “Do you need that much cash?”

“Only by paying the full fine can I have a chance to get a reduced sentence,” Yan Minghui replied, also feeling distressed. The total assets of Yanshi Films were just over 30 billion. In an instant, he had to come up with 10 billion in cash. He could only transfer the company’s equity, but he had no choice if he wanted to secure a reduced sentence.

According to the law, for a massive tax evasion amount, the sentence could range from three to seven years of imprisonment, with a mandatory five times the fine. Yan Minghui was filled with resentment.

He didn’t regret violating laws and regulations himself. Instead, he resented that the company’s accountant wasn’t discreet enough, exposing him on the first day and leaving him with no time to react.

Upon hearing these words, Mother Yan’s gaze flickered slightly. Tentatively, she asked, “If we pay the fine, will we… go bankrupt?”

“Are those dead assets more important, or am I more important?” Yan Minghui slammed the table in anger. “You ignorant fool! As long as I’m here, I can make a comeback. Without me, can you hold on to all that wealth?”

Mother Yan mumbled a response. Perhaps because Yan Minghui could only express his impotent rage at the moment and had lost his previous intimidating power, Mother Yan unexpectedly felt that those 10 billion were not important compared to this man.
