After returning to the city branch, Li Cheng called Gao Qinqin and told her not to let anyone disturb him.

Gao Qinqin agreed, then carefully closed the door for him and left.

Because the compensation was returned in time, President Gao was only sentenced to five years in prison. Gao Qinqin knew that Li Cheng had been a great help, and now she is always respectful when she sees Li Cheng.

After the spacious office quieted down, Li Cheng sat at the table and pondered for a moment, then began to write a self-criticism on the computer.

Li Cheng wrote this self-criticism very seriously and attentively. He not only wrote a detailed account of the events leading up to and following the Zhang Qiang incident, but also explained why he had handled the matter without authorization.

Finally, Li Cheng sincerely asked the provincial branch to punish him.

After finishing the review, Li Cheng clicked print...

Tomorrow, Li Cheng will take this letter of apology to the provincial branch and apologize to those bigwigs in person.

Li Cheng didn't really care about the outcome. He just wanted the bosses of the provincial branch to understand that there was a loophole in the settlement system and that it needed to be reported to the head office or even the highest management agency immediately to fix the loophole.

Now we have only found Zhang Qiang, but there may be others like Zhao Qiang, Wang Qiang and others.

After writing the self-criticism, Li Cheng felt a little tired. Thinking that he had to rush to the provincial branch tomorrow, Li Cheng decided to go back early to rest.

Just as Li Cheng was packing up and preparing to leave, the phone on the table suddenly rang...

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone.

The call was from President Yang of the Chengdong Branch. He told Li Cheng that there was a discrepancy in the account balance of an ATM machine belonging to their branch.

It was related to the ATM again. The image that instantly came to Li Cheng's mind was the blurry figure of Zhang Qiang standing in front of the ATM in the heavy rain yesterday.

"President Yang, quickly apprehend all the relevant personnel. I'll be there shortly. Oh, and this matter must not be spread outside. It must remain confidential."

After hanging up the phone, Li Cheng hurried outside...

When walking past the door of Gao Qinqin's office, Gao Qinqin probably heard the sound of Li Cheng's office door opening, and just happened to come out and bump into Li Cheng.

"President Li, are you going out?"

"Oh, Gao Qinqin, go tell those people later that I'm going to the Chengdong branch."

Gao Qinqin agreed and hurried ahead to press the elevator button for Li Cheng.

After the elevator came up, Li Cheng entered the car and did not rush to close the door. Instead, he said to her, "Gao Qinqin, come to my house for dinner when you have time. I've already told Ai Yi that you two are classmates and used to be best friends. Now you are looking down on each other like this. You are actually torturing yourselves."

After saying that, the elevator door closed, leaving Gao Qinqin alone and disheveled.

It’s true that we are best friends, but it’s you who came into the picture that makes it impossible for us to go back to the way we were before, right?

Gao Qinqin was a little sad, thinking that she had already submitted a report requesting to be transferred back to the provincial capital, and then went to a remote savings bank to work as a teller. She wondered whether she should tell Li Cheng.

Li Cheng would know sooner or later, but she believed that as long as she told Li Cheng, he would have a hundred ways to prevent her from leaving.

But what else could he do if he didn't leave? Now that his only support was gone, and he still had to bear the bad reputation of his uncle, it would be difficult for him to survive in the city branch in the future.

The reason why he is still in this important position is because Li Cheng said at the city branch meeting, "Third uncle's affairs are third uncle's affairs. Not to mention that it has nothing to do with my niece, it has nothing to do with my own son."

So, I am still in this position, but I have to endure other people's strange looks every day. It really doesn't feel good.

Gao Qinqin sighed softly, then went to do what Li Cheng had asked her to do.

Here, Li Cheng's Audi was speeding along the road to the Hedong branch. In the car, Li Cheng had already learned from the phone what the discrepancy between the accounts and the amounts mentioned by President Yang was about.

From this, Li Cheng also deduced that the problem was caused by the previous cashier, or that several people committed the crime together.

Soon, the Audi stopped in front of the Hedong branch's office building. Without waiting for Li Cheng to get out, President Yang, who had been waiting there, opened the car door.

After Li Cheng got off the car, President Yang whispered, "President Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

Li Cheng waved his hand and asked, "Where are they?"

President Yang pointed upwards and said, "They are all in the conference room on the sixth floor. I have collected all their cell phones."

Li Cheng nodded and walked towards the gate first...

There were six people locked up by President Yang in the conference room. When they saw Li Cheng coming in, all six of them quickly stood up.

Li Cheng looked at these people and found that he knew the three people in charge of escort.

So Li Cheng greeted them first.

These three probably felt aggrieved, and they seemed a little excited when they saw Li Cheng.

"President Li, you're also a former security guard. You know that those who take money don't take guns, and those who take money don't take money. What does the shortfall in the ATM have to do with us security guards?"

Li Cheng waved his hand to signal him to be quiet, and then said: "If you all behave yourself, you don't have to be here."

The man was about to speak again, but Li Cheng waved his hand again to signal him to be quiet.

"It's already happened. Whoever did it should come clean now. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble when I find out."

Several people said, "It has nothing to do with me..."

"It wasn't me..."

Li Cheng concluded that the person who did the bad thing must be among them. These people all had the opportunity to commit the crime and they all had the possibility of working together to commit the crime.

Li Cheng had worked as a security guard and knew the process of depositing money into an ATM. Whenever something went wrong, the security guards and cashiers were the most likely suspects.

President Yang had already had the cash drawer and the bank statement brought to him. He pointed at the statement and said, "The account clearly shows there's 600,000 yuan in the ATM, but there's only 400,000 yuan in the cash drawer. And there's a cash drawer missing."

There are three cash drawers in the ATM, but the ATM where the problem occurred only had two cash drawers.

A cash box and 200,000 yuan were missing. This was a very strange matter.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it. If you think about it carefully, you will know that someone has done something and taken away a cash box.

In other words, this ATM is running with two cash drawers.

But ATMs also need to settle accounts every day. The amount of money withdrawn and deposited will automatically generate data and appear in the ledger.

The most important thing now is to see whether this ATM is running with two cash drawers today or has always been running.

With two hundred thousand yuan missing, Li Cheng’s first concern was whether he could recover it.

If it's just today's shortage, there's still room for recovery. If it was already there before, then the consequences...

Li Cheng felt that this time he really couldn't save the person who did the bad thing.

Oh! What the hell is this?
