Despite their discontent, they could only bow their heads and listen obediently to the orders of Shui Shui and the housekeeper. Shui Shui stood at one end of the long table, her gaze blazing. She said nothing, simply observing these people who had once acted so arrogantly in her presence. The housekeeper sat beside her, fiddling with an exquisite jade pendant, occasionally glancing up at the group, his eyes brimming with smiles as he observed everyone present. Not a single one of them was unafraid of him.

"Everyone, we've carefully checked these accounts, and any problems have been marked." Shui Shui's voice was crisp and firm. She pointed to the account books on the table and said, "I know some of you may think we're making a fuss, but I want to tell you, these are not just numbers; they are the Jiang family's reputation and foundation. The Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce has been able to survive to this day because of its reputation and rules. The problems here are not just external, there are many internal problems as well. I hope you'll take a good look at each account book one by one.

The yellow book on the far left contains the total of all the problematic accounts. Please circulate it around to at least know how much money has been lost over the years."

Upon hearing this, some people lowered their heads, not daring to look Shui Shui in the eye. This time, they had truly provoked someone they shouldn't have. Although Jiang Shaoming hadn't been home for years, everyone knew he was a man to be reckoned with because of his ruthless tactics. Now, along came the incredibly clever Jiang Shui Shui, and they had truly hit a wall.

"Now, I'll give you a chance," Shui Shui continued. "Hand over all the money you've embezzled over the years, and I'll forgive you. But if anyone dares to conceal it, don't blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Those members of the Jiang family who had never done anything like this began to curse those who had embezzled money. They had a hunch that no matter how long the corruption had lasted, even if it was decades ago, as long as you were still alive, you could dig up the money you had embezzled in your sleep. This level of effort was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It was the butler's turn. Like a brainwashing instructor in a pyramid scheme, he kept telling everyone that if the people whose accounts showed problems didn't explain themselves and hand over their money, they would face endless pain and torture. Handing over the money, while painful, at least saved their lives.

After the butler's earnest and repeated brainwashing, people gradually began to feel that what he said made sense, and some people began to surrender themselves.

The first person to surrender was a minor figure, of the same generation as Shui Shui. He was in charge of managing the output of the suburban fields. Over the years, he had embezzled less than a thousand yuan, but even a thousand yuan was a huge sum back then.

Shui Shui looked at the pile of bills on the table, her lips curled up slightly. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She knew clearly that this was just the tip of the iceberg; her brother had undoubtedly embezzled far more over the years. But, who could blame him for his cooperative attitude? So, let him go.

In this way, under the loving education of the housekeeper, the brainwashing was very successful. Within the morning, several people took the initiative to admit their mistakes and return their property.

In the following days, Shui Shui began a series of actions to comprehensively rectify the internal affairs of the Jiang family.
