"Why scan it into the computer?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about our school's supercomputer? Letting her analyze it is much more efficient than us flipping through the records ourselves."
Norma's supercomputer, at its most efficient, can simulate the power of words and even predict the course of events, so using it to check accounts is a piece of cake.
Of course, he had another option: to ask Su Enxi for help. However, Su Enxi was definitely too lazy to do such a stupid thing, so he decided to use Norma, who was free labor.
Although there are many documents here, the laser printer scans quite quickly, scanning one document in just a few seconds.
He logged into his authorized account on his laptop, connected to Norma's network, and then began uploading the scanned data to Norma for analysis.
"Oh dear, why are you using school resources for personal matters again!" Suddenly, a young girl's voice came from Gu Ran's laptop.
His screen was originally displaying the uploaded content, but suddenly a virtual girl popped up. She was wearing a dark green school uniform skirt, and her long black hair cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall. She looked very cute and charming, just like a virtual streamer, jumping around on the screen.
Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly greeted, "Hello, senior!"
"So you know me?" the virtual girl said with a smile.
"The gentlest, kindest, and cutest senior in the academy, EVA? I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run!"
"Hehehe!" EVA laughed loudly in the computer.
The two employees scanning the documents looked at Gu Ran, assuming he was on a video call with someone, so they weren't too suspicious.
Su Xiaoqiang then leaned over, glanced at Gu Ran's computer, and saw the girl.
“Wow, your fiancée looks even better in person than in the photos,” EVA said with a smile.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't know what was going on, but she just wondered if computer technology had become so advanced that it could actually trap people inside a computer for real conversations?
However, she also very politely said, "Hello."
"Speaking of which, senior, why did you suddenly decide to call me? You usually like to call Lu Mingfei, Caesar, and Chu Zihang!" Gu Ran asked.
EVA replied, "I don't usually contact you because you seem the least lonely, as if the Blood Sorrow has never affected you."
"So why did you suddenly decide to contact me today?"
"Because I'm bored!" EVA took control of Gu Ran's computer and looked through the data Gu Ran had scanned. "Speaking of which, you usually use me to help you mine Bitcoin, and now you want me to help you check your accounts. You can't keep taking up school resources like this!"
EVA acted all mature and pretentious, pretending to be a senior student.
Gu Ran said, "Don't say that. You've helped the vice principal download all sorts of weird movies, and you've helped Senior Finger cheat so many times. What's wrong with helping me check the accounts? Besides, I'm only doing legitimate things, and I haven't taken up much of your computing power!"
"Oh, so you're threatening your senior now, huh?" EVA raised her little fist at Gu Ran on the computer screen. "Believe it or not, I'll broadcast all the Bitcoin you mined to the whole world in plaintext."
"Oh no, that's all I have left! If you do that, I'll storm your server and change the data code!"
"You even know where my underlying servers are located?"
"It's downstairs from the principal's office!"
The two were overheard threatening each other, but Gu Ran wasn't worried. He figured he could just hypnotize and brainwash them later.
"Oh dear, I don't know how to access the server, but I'm begging you, senior, to help me!" Gu Ran said, acting cute and coquettishly towards the computer screen.
EVA was amused by his coquettish manner and giggled.
She laughed and said, "No wonder all the girls at school are so infatuated with you. They talk about you all the time in their private social circles!"
"Shh, don't show off, my wife's here!" Gu Ran whispered.
"I heard everything!" Su Xiaoqiang gave his head a light tap in annoyance.
She understood that whether or not they could use a supercomputer to check the accounts this year depended on this senior student.
So Su Xiaoqiang also pleaded with EVA: "Senior, please help me, senior..."
"Alright, alright, since you two are so good at being charming, I'll help you out." EVA revealed her true intentions. "But Fingel is short of money. Could you give him some? He eats a lot, and the Executive Department's allowance isn't enough for him."
"Sure, I'll transfer some money to my senior brother later," Gu Ran said with a smile. "But I don't think the cost of living is high in Cuba. Will he go hungry there?"
“The food there isn’t good; the rationing system isn’t enough for him,” EVA said.
And so, EVA agreed to help Gu Ran with the audit, but she would have to pay him a small fee, which she would then give to Fingel.
"I really envy my senior brother. He can be a gigolo and still have a woman supporting him," Gu Ran said.
“If you feel it’s too hard, I can support you!” Su Xiaoqiang pinched his cheek.
"Well...we'll talk about it another day, another day!"
"What a disgrace!" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at him.
At noon, Gu Ran ordered pizza and then had two employees work overtime. Finally, around 4 p.m., they scanned all the accounts into the computer.
As the scan concluded, EVA also received the results.
“A total of $25.16 million is missing, and there are 73 problematic transfer records.” EVA’s voice came calmly from the laptop’s speaker. “However, of these 73 records, 68 are legitimate, just a few loopholes. Only five are truly problematic, and I have marked them all. You can compare them with the original records in a moment.”
Upon hearing EVA's words, Su Xiaoqiang immediately went through the documents based on her markings and found five problematic accounts.
Once these fund flows are clarified, this will be irrefutable evidence.
“Following this pattern of behavior, I can help you find the problematic accounts in the other overseas offices. Even if they destroy the original records, it won’t matter, because transfer records can’t lie,” EVA added.

Those outside the conference room heard EVA's cold voice. The accountant woman in the middle seemed unable to believe it, immediately came in, picked up the data to check, and then her face turned ashen.
Incredibly, it was detected in less than a day!
The most surprised person was Richard, who piled up all the accounts and files into a small mountain. Actually, he was also somewhat looking forward to seeing Su Xiaoqiang make a fool of himself. After all, with so many figures, even a professional accounting team would need several weeks to figure them out.
But no one expected that Gu Ran would finish it in less than an afternoon.
"Senior, I just had a deposit made into my bank account this morning. Could you give me my senior's account number? I'll transfer the money to him in a bit," Gu Ran said to EVA.
The money he received this morning was the life-saving money given to him by the Mafia member codenamed '17' on the beach.
See, making money is really easy; there will always be people who will give him money.
"Alright!" EVA turned around gracefully and sent an account to Gu Ran's QQ. "Then I'll leave the rest to you. I won't disturb you two lovebirds!"
"Goodbye, senior sister."
After greeting them, Gu Ran looked at the three corrupt employees once again.
Su Xiaoqiang walked to the printer and took out three freshly printed loan contracts. Each person borrowed $665,000 from Gu Ran, to be repaid over fifty years, with an annual interest rate of 35%.
The contract was placed in front of them, along with inkpads.
Neither of them spoke, leaving the choice to them.
The three looked at each other, and in the end, the woman was the first to give in and sign her name.
The remaining two, knowing there was no other way, also signed their names.
“That’s right. I can also extend the period here. If you can’t pay it off in fifty years, you can apply for seventy years.” Gu Ran smiled and continued, “I collect the debt once a year. Remember to send me the money. If you’re short even a penny… you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
“However, please return the embezzled money within three days. That’s my bottom line,” Gu Ran said.
The three people nodded blankly, as if their souls had been ripped out.
Gu Ran had no sympathy for them, so she didn't bother to look at their pathetic state. Instead, she looked at Richard and said, "You have Lin Shengquan's contact information, right? Tell him that we have found out about the problematic accounts."
"Huh?" Richard was confused. Wasn't this just alerting the enemy?
But EVA has already found complete evidence, so there's no need to go looking for them one by one; it's faster to confront them directly.
Richard, not wanting to guess his boss's thoughts, made the call in front of Gu Ran, and even put it on speakerphone.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Xiao Li, what's wrong? Weren't you greeting Miss Su and her son-in-law?"
“Well, they’ve already found the problematic accounts and calculated the exact figure: $2516.34,” Richard reported a precise number.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before someone asked, "How many of them came?"
“Uh, uh… just two, the young lady and the young master. But, but the young master seems to have a whole team that can find out all the accounts in a day. Also, the young master seems to have connections with Mediterranean…” Richard said, watching Gu Ran’s expression.
Gu Ran nodded to him, indicating that he could speak freely.
So Richard boldly said, "My son-in-law knows a powerful family in the Mafia. The Mafia people I contacted were dealt with by my son-in-law."
There was another silence on the phone.
"So, what do the young lady and her husband plan to do with you?" Lin Shengquan asked.
“The embezzled eight million will be returned in full, plus a fine of seven million dollars as an induration…” Richard said. “I have already admitted it, and I will sell my assets in the next two days to send the money to my son-in-law and daughter. My employees have also admitted their guilt, and they will return all the money and pay the fines.”
"Then why did you call me?"
"It was the son-in-law who ordered it."
There was another silence on the phone.
"So, the son-in-law and daughter were also listening to this call?" Lin Shengquan seemed to be quite clever and realized what was going on.
Gu Ran said into the phone, "That's right, I'm your son-in-law."
Su Xiaoqiang also said, "I am your young lady."
The couple looked very much in love, like husband and wife working together harmoniously.
Lin Shengquan on the other end of the phone frowned, then said in a calm voice, "It seems that the son-in-law and daughter are quite capable, able to find out the accounts of the problem so quickly. So, is the next stop in my Netherlands?"
"Of course... no!" Gu Ran laughed. "We're going to Germany next. I heard there are no speed limits on the highways there, so we're planning to go there and race some cars."
"Oh? The young master and young lady also like cars?" Lin Shengquan paused. "It seems I must have a race with the two of you sometime."
"Of course there's a chance! I'm going tomorrow, you know," Gu Ran said with a smile. "How about we arrange a match?"
“Since my son-in-law says he wants to compete, then of course I’m willing to risk my life to accompany him,” Lin Shengquan said with a smile.
"How big of a bet?" Gu Ran asked. "How about a hundred million US dollars?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Shengquan was silent for what felt like the first time, and this time he remained silent for quite a while as well.
Gu Ran said that one hundred million was as easy as blowing a breath, and I don't know if he was bluffing.
Lin Shengquan chuckled a few times, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said, "It seems the young master is in high spirits, but can he really afford such a hundred million US dollars as a prize?"
“One hundred million isn’t much. If you can afford cars, why would you be short of one hundred million? Do you want to gamble in cash or with a bank draft? You choose, I’m fine with either,” Gu Ran said. “As long as you’re willing to accept the consequences.”
