Jiang Si felt a sharp pain in her foot, snapping out of her daze at Bo Jichen's blatant and legitimate attempt to swindle money. She then reached out and took the quantum computer.

Xiao Quanshu was in pain, his hands were trembling, and his heart was bleeding. He pulled on his personal terminal, connected it with Jiang Si's account, transferred five months' worth of revenue to her, and had to bear the extra transfer fees from the Imperial Bank.

Fund transfers are processed instantly.

Jiang Si's personal terminal was on silent, so she couldn't hear the Imperial Bank's voice notification about the money transfer. However, the amount was huge. After the Imperial Bank's voice notification, it sent another message asking her to confirm.

Jiang Si was stunned.

Forgive her for being a poor girl before the apocalypse on ancient Earth.

Wearing interstellar clothing, she had never seen so much money before, except for the numerous zeros in the assets she shared with her cheap husband's account.

The prosecutor standing nearby asked, "Has Ms. Jiang received the money?"

Jiang Si pursed her slightly parted lips and said, "Wait a moment, let me count to zero."

at the same time.

The message was also received on the Agares quantum computer, which was located on the planet Cole, and was awaiting confirmation of the amount.

He stared at the notification asking him to confirm the payment, his cold, stern face solemn, his sharp brows furrowing slightly.

The money he paid for his wife's military academy education was drawn from their joint account. Even with live streaming and donations from fans, it's impossible for him to have such a huge sum of 1.5 billion Star Coins!

so.

Where did she get so much money?

Is it pocket money given to her by His Majesty?

Did the teacher give it to her?

No, His Majesty doesn't have that much money.

The money the teacher earned from beating the robbers was handed over to the national treasury; he didn't have that much money anyway.

Agares paused for a moment, then reached out and tapped the previously muted voice broadcast of account spending, clicking to view the source of the funds.

Source of funds.

The largest single amount is the 1.5 billion Star Coins that just arrived in my account.

Note on the source of funds: Xiao Lou Guan's infringement compensation.

The remaining amount, a few million to tens of millions of Star Coins, came from donations on StarNet Live.

He flipped it down.

There were several transactions involving tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, with the transaction notes indicating that they were from selling fruit and smoked meat, with the proceeds split after tax.

He stared at the income notes in the small accounts, and after a moment, his fingers twitched slightly, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

1.5 billion!

Jiang Si finished counting the zeros and just reached to click the confirmation button, but before she could even touch it, it was automatically confirmed.

Jiang Si paused for a moment, then thought that in the interstellar era, technology is advanced, and the Imperial Bank's confirmation click has an expiration time. She guessed that since she hadn't clicked confirm for a long time, the Imperial Bank would automatically confirm when the time came.

Jiang Si then looked up at the prosecutor, adopting a queen-like demeanor—aloof, noble, and distant: "The money has arrived, 1.5 billion."

Bo Jichen raised an eyebrow while sitting in his seat, casually poured a glass of water, and pushed it in front of Jiang Si.

Upon hearing that the money had arrived, Xiao Quanshu, despite the pain in his heart, politely inquired of the prosecutor, "Prosecutor, I've transferred the compensation for the infringement. Regarding this matter..."

“You have transferred the money for the infringement compensation, but…” the prosecutor interrupted him, saying, “But as a third-class duke, you knew that infringement, plagiarism and copying were illegal. You still broke the law knowingly, so your crime is aggravated. You must pay a fine of 10% of Xiao Lou Guan’s annual total turnover.”

10% of total annual revenue?

With his face covered in blood, Xiao Quanshu's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

His net profit last year was 3 billion.

The gross profit is 4 billion.

10% of the 4 billion in revenue is 400 million.

1.5 billion has already been given.

Now it's another 400 million.

The total is 1.9 billion, which is equivalent to him working for nothing for a year.

Jiang Si picked up the water glass in front of her and silently clinked glasses with Bo Jichen.

Seeing that Xiao Quanshu was still not moving, the prosecutor spoke up and reminded him, "Xiao Quanshu, a third-class duke, can't you calculate your total annual turnover? Do you want us to help you calculate it?"

"No...no...I'll give it to you!" Xiao Quanshu regretted it immensely at this moment. Why did he have to be greedy for this cheap deal? If he had gone to Jiang Si and given her some money to get authorization, wouldn't he have avoided this infringement and fine today?

The prosecutor, acting in a professional capacity, bent down and extended the light screen in his hand toward Xiao Quanshu.

Xiao Quanshu gritted his teeth, his mouth filled with the taste of blood, and his hand trembled violently as he transferred 400 million yuan.

Just when he thought the 1.9 billion was spent and the matter was over, the prosecutor confirmed the amount, stood up, and spoke again: "Xiao Quanshu, a third-class duke, you have plagiarized and infringed on copyrights in the catering industry, causing a bad influence."

"You have insulted a member of the royal family again. The Imperial Supreme Court has ordered Xiao Lou Pavilion to rectify its practices for three months. You are sentenced to two months in prison!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Quanshu blurted out, "When did I ever insult a member of the royal family? Why should I be ordered to rectify Xiao Lou Pavilion?"

Ordered to rectify within three months!

That meant cutting off their source of income.

Moreover, it's unknown whether other restaurants will spring up and replace his restaurant in the next three months.

Faced with his questioning, the prosecutor stated in an official capacity, "This issue involves the confidential identities of members of the royal family, and it is not appropriate to explain it to you in public. Once you are in court, the court will provide you with a detailed explanation. Duke Xiao Quanshu, please proceed."

Don't explain to him!

Xiao Quanshu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Si, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

She was a member of royalty, and the man she married was also a member of royalty.

The Imperial Family consists only of His Majesty and Prince Agares.

His Majesty is already married.

That's Prince Agares, which is why she called Agares' teacher Bo Jichen "Dad"?

“Xiao Quanshu, a third-class duke, please get up and come with us. If you resist, we have the right to kill you,” the prosecutor coldly reminded him.

Xiao Quanshu trembled uncontrollably; his kick hadn't landed on a metal plate, but on a boulder.

I kicked him for ages and he couldn't get up.

The prosecutor saw this, waved to his colleagues who had come with him, and they helped the limp Xiao Quanshu to his left and right as they dragged him away.

The prosecutor bowed to Bo Jichen, then turned and left.

"Daddy, you're so handsome!" Jiang Si flattered Bo Jichen as soon as they left, "Come on, come on, let me give you some money!"
