《The Auditors》E1Plot

Episode 1

In a tragedy at a construction site, the unexpected collapse of a tower crane triggered a justice battle to pursue the truth.Faced with the lies spun by the responsible party, the newly appointed audit team leader Shin Ci Young (played by Shin Ha Kyun) stepped forward and vowed to expose corruption, restore the truth, and let the responsible persons accept legal sanctions.

Shin Ciying, the new audit team leader, with the belief of impartiality and selflessness, is determined to eradicate the corruption within JU Construction Company.The company, shrouded in corruption and dishonesty, was mired in a power struggle between president and vice president.In order to strengthen the company's internal supervision, Chairman Huang Shixiong (played by Zheng Manzhi) specially hired external expert Shin Ciying.This decision caused quite a stir within the audit team, especially the gentle and approachable Gu Hanzhu (played by Lee Jung Ha) who was surprised by this.Shin Ciying directly points out the problems of team members with a stern attitude, and his iron-fisted style makes people difficult to approach.However, Yin Ruizhen (played by Zhao Yara) remained unmoved. She always focused on her responsibilities.

After Shen Ciying took office, he quickly reformed the audit team and ordered a re-investigation of the tower crane accident.Although the official report blamed the accident on the weather, Shin Ciying found something fishy.He led Han Su to interview Squad Leader Pei, trying to uncover the truth of the accident.However, Squad Leader Pei fled in a hurry with key evidence - a laptop, and even jumped from the third floor to evade pursuit.Han Soo was confused by Squad Leader Pei's behavior, but still chose to believe him.But when Shin Ci Young is attacked by gangsters in the street trying to snatch the laptop, Han Soo's doubts begin to deepen.

After the evidence was stolen, Shen Ciying clashed with Executive Xu, accusing him of interfering in the investigation.As the plot progresses, the man behind the scenes gradually emerges - Vice Chairman Huang Daxiong (played by Jin Gu).As the half-brother of Chairman Huang, he has always been an unstable factor in the family.During the period when the eldest brother was seriously ill, the battle for promotion between the brothers intensified within the company.Executive Xu stood firmly on Daxiong's side, making Daxiong feel threatened by Shin Ciying's investigation and tried to fire him.

However, fate seems to be on the side of justice.It turns out that the laptop was not lost, but was cleverly hidden by Han Su.He used his hacking skills to crack the code and uncovered bribery contracts between tower crane suppliers.Although Han Zhu had reservations about Shen Ciying's radical approach, in the face of conclusive evidence, he finally chose to trust Shen Ciying and returned the laptop to him.However, unfortunately, Han Su was intercepted by Nobita in the office.The vice president snatched the laptop before Shin Ci Young, adding suspense to the following plot.

Episode 2

After experiencing an intense and exciting pursuit, Shen Ciying accidentally bumped into Nobita quietly leaving with his laptop.He followed the vice president to a construction site without hesitation, but Nobita was clearly a formidable opponent.Under Shen Ciying's watch, Daxiong openly destroyed key evidence and issued provocative warnings in an attempt to force Shen Ciying to give up the investigation.However, Shin Ci Young responds with even greater determination, and this setback only makes him dig deeper into the truth.

In the process of carefully sorting out the tower crane collapse incident, the audit team discovered many suspicious details.Among them, the tower crane operator miraculously survived after falling from a floor tens of meters high. There was a huge difference of up to five hours between the time he was sent to the hospital and the time of the accident, which is particularly eye-catching.What’s even more confusing is that Squad Leader Pei rushed to the hospital with boots covered in mud, but what he brought with him was not a real operator.These mysteries seem to point to Squad Leader Pei, but his disappearance has put the investigation into trouble.

Through in-depth interviews with on-site personnel, Shen Ciying finally determined the identity of the real tower crane operators and tracked them down following Squad Leader Pei's clues.In despair, Squad Leader Pei even attempted suicide, but Han Soo successfully comforted him with his excellent communication skills and reminded him of his beloved daughter, thus regaining his sanity.

In order to prove the relationship between Executive Xu and the accident, Shen Ciying decided to launch a special audit.Although the tower crane supplier had agreed to testify, it ultimately failed to live up to its promise.Faced with this change, Shen Ciying had already expected it and acted very calmly.At this time, Daxiong sneered from the side, but Han Zhu walked into the room with key recording evidence.In the recording, the conversation between Squad Leader Pei and Executive Director Xu recorded in detail the crimes of Executive Director Xu.In the face of irrefutable evidence, Shin Ciying proposed to fire Executive Xu immediately and continued to put pressure on Daxiong, giving him two choices: either deny destroying evidence and face more serious charges, or admit his mistake and apologize.Daxiong knew that if he chose the former, Shen Ciying would release the surveillance video, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.Shin Ci Young achieved an overwhelming victory in this round.

In addition, the plot also reveals an unexpected twist: there seems to be some mysterious connection between Seo-jin and Nobita.However, this mystery still needs to be revealed in subsequent plots.At the same time, the audit team received a new case, and Shen Ciying will once again demonstrate his superb skills in catching mice.The corruption problem at JU Construction Company is far more complicated than imagined. The protagonist and his new team will go all out to reveal all the truth.

Episode 3

This drama focuses on an auditor with a heavy responsibility, who vows to track down 3.4 billion won missing from a housing reconstruction project.This case not only awakened dusty memories, but also posed a severe test to the loyalty of human nature.In this world of lies and deceit, the protagonist must choose carefully and identify who is trustworthy.No matter how prominent the suspect's identity is, the audit team will treat them equally, because every tiny detail may become a key clue to uncover the truth.

Although the plot gradually shows the characteristics of a police suspense drama, the protagonist is not a detective, but an auditor.This week's plot mainly revolves around a corruption case involving a housing reconstruction project. The core suspect points to Housing Minister Yoo Mi-kyung (specially played by Hong Soo-hyun).A neighborhood union representative absconded with money that for poor residents amounted to life savings.Shin Ji-young and his team need to find out if Minister Mi-kyung is involved, or if she too is just a victim in the conspiracy.

During the investigation, Shin Ci-young always remained calm, but Minister Mi-kyung revealed her true feelings when facing her college senior, triggering various rumors about their once passionate love.Things get more complicated when Shin Ji-young conducts an interview with Mi-kyung in his spare time.Photos of the two were maliciously uploaded to the Internet, and Shen Ciying was framed as a sexual predator.However, the truth is that Shin Ciying became the victim. He was harassed and violated by the drunk Han Zhu.

This allegation seriously interfered with Shin Ci-young's investigation plan, and he had only a short week to resolve all issues to ensure that Mi-kyung's transfer request was approved.Fortunately, Mi-kyung's ex-husband revealed that he was a photographer, and this key clue quickly helped Shin Ji-young reveal Mi-kyung's true face.Their divorce turned out to be just a scam, and as the investigation deepened, Mei Jing's suspicion of corruption grew.

At the same time, another story line is also quietly developing.The two brothers Huang Shixiong and Huang Daxiong fought openly and secretly for power.Although Chairman Huang Shixiong appears to be just and awe-inspiring, he is eager to hand over control of the audit team to Daxiong in exchange for the latter's bribe to a deputy minister, so that he can successfully pass the inspection.Although Daxiong saw through the chairman's hypocrisy, he still accepted the deal in order to cover up Mi-kyung's crimes and squeeze out Shin Ji-young.

In this power game, Xu Zhen is in a dilemma.As Nobita's niece, she finds no one in her uncle's office trustworthy.However, her deep friendship with Shen Ciying made her make a choice at a critical moment: she decided to stand with Shen Ciying and Han Zhu to jointly expose the corruption case and seek justice for the injured residents.

Although other members of the audit team did not give much support, Shin Ciying and the recruits worked tirelessly and finally found the secret connection between Ryu Mi-kyung and the union representatives.The discovery led them to a mountain restaurant, where they managed to apprehend the union representative.However, the real challenge has just begun.Facing the interrogation, the trade union representative chose to remain silent and refused to disclose information about his accomplices, causing the case to reach a deadlock.The situation became even more problematic when a lawyer sent by Huang Daxiong showed up and instructed the union representatives to remain silent.But Shin Ciying was not discouraged. He quickly adjusted his strategy and turned the focus of his investigation to Liu Mikyung's husband.

Episode 5

The anonymous reporting letter was like a thunder, exploding in the quiet daily life of the audit team.The letter not only revealed potential corruption within the company, but was also laced with threats to employees.In order to explore the truth, the audit team decided to adopt a series of unconventional means. At the same time, the investigation must be kept secret before important activities of the company.However, as the investigation deepened, they found that the case was extremely difficult.

This week, a poisoning incident put dozens of employees in the hospital and drew scrutiny from the audit team.Minister Peng Renhao, the boss who managed many subcontractors, became the main suspect.When the audit team came to visit, he was deeply angry and considered it an insult to his past status.

At the same time, former CEO Huang Shixiong's health has improved and he is about to wake up.The news made him both happy and worried.On the one hand, he congratulated his family, but on the other hand, he showed mixed emotions towards his brother, seeming to imply that he did not intend to give up power easily.Huang Shixiong is about to release the “J-BIMS” project, hoping to create a future for the company.To this end, he asked Shin Ciying to ensure that the event went smoothly and to calm the impact of the poisoning incident.

Against this background, the audit team began a secret investigation.They sent two young auditors to the cafeteria to investigate.While interviewing the canteen owner, Huang Daxiong and Minister Yang unexpectedly appeared.Minister Yang's anger subsided instantly when he saw his niece working on site.But there are more secrets at the scene, and the eye contact between Minister Yang and the canteen owner seems to hide unknown secrets.

Minister Yang asked Huang Daxiong for help, worried that Shen Ciying would find out about their relationship.Although they were not directly involved in corruption, their positions and influence made it difficult for them to conceal it.Huang Daxiong was dissatisfied with this and thought it was a question to him.However, instead of exposing corruption, he chose to remain silent.Fortunately, they didn't leave much evidence behind.Huang Daxiong used this opportunity to force Shin Ciying to apologize, although some still had doubts about it.

Although Shin Ciying apologized, he didn't mean it.After looking through Minister Peng Renhao's file, he discovered the fact that the agency deceived the restaurant owner.Although JU Construction was not legally responsible, poor supervision led to the company's collapse.Shin Ciying realized that the blackmailer came from within the company, so he decided to use an apology as bait.

The blackmailer strikes again, but the auditors react quickly and catch him.However, how to completely subdue him is still a problem.Eventually, the blackmailers escaped, but the operation was not in vain.Shin Ciying narrowed the scope of suspects to three people, and finally locked on the senior chef working under Minister Peng Renhao.

In the company lobby, Shen Ciying questioned the chef and gave him a chance to make a statement.It turned out that the chef's mother had been defrauded of the canteen contract, which led to the breakdown of the family.Although the head chef reported it to the audit team, it was not taken seriously.When he reveals the truth alone, his mother becomes ill and commits suicide.This completely shattered him and drove him to an extreme path.

Shen Ciying understood the chef's difficulties, but pointed out that the method was inappropriate.He recommended to the president that he fire the head chef and take moral responsibility to help the victims.Minister Peng Renhao was punished, but Huang Shixiong imposed a more severe punishment on him - transferred to a branch factory.Obviously, Huang Shixiong is using Shen Ciying to consolidate power.

After resolving the case, auditors realized complacency on the part of former leadership had exacerbated the problem.Han Soo decided to rebuild the trusting relationship and regarded Shin Ciying as a mentor.Shin Ciying's enthusiasm and innocence reminded Han Su of his own time.

After resolving the case, auditors realized complacency on the part of former leadership had exacerbated the problem.Han Soo decided to rebuild the trusting relationship and regarded Shin Ciying as a mentor.Shin Ciying's enthusiasm and innocence reminded Han Su of his own time.

While the auditors were celebrating the resolution of a case, Wu Runyu of the Technology Development Department threatened to self-immolate in order to expose workplace bullying.Fortunately, Dai Yu intervened in time to avoid tragedy.Later, Han Zhu escorted Yin Yu to the audit department for questioning.

However, the security measures in the Technology Development Department are so tight that evidence of bullying is almost impossible to find, except for the victim's one-sided account.The auditors were put in a difficult position when other employees testified to the contrary.Just as the demonstration was about to begin, the president decided to suspend the investigation, and Yin Yu was informally excluded from the project.Han Zhu felt deeply unfair and believed that the victim should not be allowed to suffer while the perpetrator was free, so he decided to take action, disrupting Shen Ciying's original plan.He deliberately revealed suspicions that there might be a data leak in the Technology Development Department, forcing the audit team to continue an in-depth investigation.

In my opinion, the character Han Soo often seemed too extreme and lacked the necessary complexity.He regards himself as a messenger of justice and has a commendable kind heart, but his thinking is too narrow and he often views the world from a dualistic perspective.As a result, his emotions fluctuate like a roller coaster, easily turning from excitement to despair.This also caused him to overreact to his friends' plight and find it difficult to separate his personal emotions from his work.However, as the case progresses, he seems to begin to realize the multi-faceted nature of human nature, but his insight is still insufficient and his judgment is often influenced by personal emotions.

Episode 7

The internal audit department is embroiled in a complex internal conflict, with a young member having a tense relationship with his team leader over his involvement in a suspected bullying incident.However, there is more than meets the eye, and this incident not only tests the protagonists, but also makes the case they pursue extremely difficult.As the audit work progressed, the auditors gradually came into contact with deep internal information closely related to the latest incident, thereby revealing a major criminal plan that may involve billions of won.Urgency forces them to act quickly to prevent potential losses.

The bullying escalates quickly, and when Han Soo keenly catches signs of a data breach, the unease within the team suddenly intensifies.Faced with Shen Ciying's demand for conclusive evidence, the dispute between Han Zhu and Shen Ciying intensified, and finally Han Zhu angrily decided to act alone.He adopted a risky strategy of breaking into the company's systems without permission, only to make the situation more chaotic.

As the investigation deepened, a shocking fact gradually became clear: someone within the Technology Development Department attempted to illegally sell J-BIMS links, but the relevant evidence mysteriously evaporated.While Shin Ci Young apologized to the team leader Li Zhixun, he privately expressed strong dissatisfaction with Han Soo's behavior and expressed doubts about the team leader's true identity.He secretly allowed Han Soo to continue the investigation, but unfortunately, Han Soo's reckless behavior was blocked again and he fell into danger.

At the critical moment, Shen Ciying stepped forward, rescued Han Su and successfully captured the suspect.However, the suspect was just a passport forger. Although Li Zhixun's suspicion was increased, he was not directly proven to have committed the crime of stealing J-BIMS.Faced with this dilemma, audit teams have to adjust their tactics to deal with more complex situations.

At the same time, Minister Park of the Technology Development Department stayed up all night because he was assigned extra work by Li Zhixun, but was accidentally intercepted by the audit team in the early morning.Shin Ciying brought Minister Park to the office for a detailed discussion on the grounds of investigating Yin Yu's bullying case.Facing the pressure from the audit team, Minister Park felt helpless, but he also realized the seriousness of this case.

While Han Soo was focusing on hacking technology, Shin Ci Young was investigating Li Zhixun's background in depth and discovered his bad behavior of workplace bullying, and suspected that Minister Park was also one of the victims.However, they did not openly discuss these sensitive topics.Seo Jin promptly provided key clues, revealing that in addition to Han Soo, there were other auditors who had secret contacts with the team leader, and showed a list of evidence that Minister Park violated safety regulations.This evidence% is actually a trap set by Li Zhixun, aiming to transfer the accusation to Minister Park.

Episode 8

After the truth came out, Minister Park finally confessed and admitted that he had assisted Li Zhixun to exclude Yin Yu, but firmly denied knowing the inside story of the data leak.Minister Park's transformation has become an important force in the audit team, and Shin Ci-young arranges for him to pay close attention to Lee Ji-hoon's movements at the upcoming presentation meeting to prevent the handover from happening during the event.This bold move is undoubtedly a direct challenge to the company's hierarchy and political struggle, but Shen Ciying knows that only in this way can the truth be revealed and the company's interests protected.

On the day of the event, the tense atmosphere reached a climax with a series of unusual actions by Lee Ji-hoon.He requested that the program be uploaded to a less secure cloud server and cleverly set the slide presentation time, seemingly to facilitate the broker's access to J-BIMS through the code.However, just when Li Zhixun was about to introduce the procedure in detail, Shin Ciying's sudden intervention broke the original process.He ignored Huang Shixiong's scolding and went straight to the point, exposing Li Zhixun's conspiracy to sell J-BIMS.

Shin Ciying's accusations exploded like thunder, shocking everyone present.Not only did he reveal the disguise of the cloud password, but he also took out the secret chip from Li Zhixun's thermos cup, which is where the real copy of J-BIMS lies.Faced with conclusive evidence, Li Zhixun grabbed the thermos cup in desperation and tried to flee the scene.He frantically rushed to the server room to destroy all evidence, but in the end he could only escape back to the office with the chip in his hand and continue his taunting and provocation.

However, Li Zhixun's arrogance did not last long.The timely intervention of the police brought the farce to an end, and he was taken away to face legal justice.Although Huang Shixiong temporarily preserved the company's reputation, the board of directors had deep doubts about his leadership ability, which shrouded his mind like a shadow.At the same time, the improvement of his brother's condition did not bring him much comfort, but made him feel the subtle changes within the family.

At the same time, a new storm broke out on the Internet.An anonymous post exposed JU Construction's unethical hiring practices, quickly attracting widespread media and public attention.The audit team was once again pushed to the forefront, and they had to immediately plunge into intense investigation work.

During the investigation, Shen Ciying demonstrated the acumen and decisiveness of a senior auditor.He eliminated the youngest member as a suspect and led the team in digging into the hiring department's history.Although Han Soo's missing test results put the team in trouble for a while, they eventually found out the truth and it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.Shin Ciying's fairness and persistence have won the trust and support of team members.

However, just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, photos of Xu Zhen and Huang Daxiong were exposed on the Internet, which undoubtedly brought new challenges and pressure to the audit team.But they know that only by persisting can they reveal the truth and safeguard justice.In this silent war, auditors will continue their pursuit of the truth.
