Comrade Old Shi was full of confidence and ready to make a big splash.
In the morning, he called to say that Director Zhou had signed the approval for the bank to assist, and the procedure was in hand. He emphasized cryptically that the matter should not be publicized; the fewer people who knew, the better.
After all, there were too few clues at hand, not even close to a start. A high-profile investigation would be ridiculed if no leads were found in the end. Moreover, it would not align well with investigation procedures. If proof could be found, it would cover a multitude of faults, but if nothing was uncovered and yet stirred up public attention, it would put the leaders in a difficult position.
Initiating an investigation into bank accounts without a case or solid evidence was no small matter.
Han Yu even suspected that he might have gotten Director Zhou drunk first and tricked a groggy Zhou into signing the consent.
