Song Cheng knocked on the door first, and after receiving a response from inside, he pushed the door open and stepped aside, saying, "Ms. Su, please come in."

Su Ran then saw the person inside the door clearly. A flash of surprise crossed Su Ran's eyes. Wasn't this the person from the Ministry of Finance?

Su Ran entered the room. Besides the elderly man from the Ministry of Finance, the other two elderly men had also appeared on television. Su Ran bowed respectfully and said, "Gentlemen, I apologize for your rudeness."

The elderly man at the head of the table had a kind look in his eyes and smiled gently, "Comrade Su, there's no need to be so polite. Come, sit down wherever you like."

Su Ran sat down nearby, and the old man said, "I asked Xiao Fu to invite Comrade Su here today because I wanted to ask Comrade Su a few questions. Comrade Su, there's no need to be so nervous."

Su Ran understood that the old man was being sarcastic and replied with a smile, "Chief Yang, if you have any questions, just ask this junior. This junior will answer them all."

"Hahaha, Comrade Su, then this old man won't play the game of dealing with people from our generation anymore. I'll just speak frankly, like you young people do." The old man's tone was kind, but it revealed a hint of authority and scrutiny.

Su Ran smiled and nodded.

Chief Yang's originally benevolent tone suddenly turned serious, "Comrade Xiao Su has had quite a lot of assets and income lately."

"Chief Yang is joking. It's just inheriting the estate of an old lady from abroad," Su Ran blurted out without batting an eye, using a prepared statement.

This was the source of the money mentioned by the system at the beginning, and it was through a Swiss bank. The money was clean and legitimate, and the recipients were all deceased and had no relatives.

This is also called "dead men tell no tales".

"He acquired Zuixiangju with assets worth over a billion yuan, then spent several billion yuan to acquire an emerging technology company, and then used 10 billion yuan to buy the landmark building Bingjing Palace in Shanghai. He also owns two luxury homes and several luxury cars. Furthermore, he tipped several live streamers on internet short video apps, accumulating several hundred million yuan. After deducting the 10 billion yuan that was just transferred out, he still has 2 billion yuan left in liquid assets. I wonder if Comrade Xiao Su has any explanation for these funds flowing out?"

Su Ran smiled but didn't reply immediately, inwardly marveling at how worthy her motherland was.

That's awesome.

I was almost stripped down to just my underwear.

Su Ran remained calm. "Since Chief Yang has summoned me here, he must have already investigated thoroughly. So I don't think there's any explanation needed. Legality and compliance are my explanations."

She knew it was legal.

Although it's abnormal, there's no law that says something is illegal just because it's abnormal.

After finishing speaking, Chief Yang kept a close eye on Su Ran's facial expression, but there was no change whatsoever. This puzzled Chief Yang. "Comrade Su, your assets are legal and compliant. Our country also encourages citizens to actively start businesses and consume rationally."

“But your source of income… is too suspicious.”

"After all, the Comrade Xiao Su we know is not like this now. He only changed suddenly two days ago. Comrade Xiao Su's past experience also makes us suspicious of the existence of this huge sum of money."

"Therefore, our first judgment is..."

"You are involved in international money laundering."

After Chief Yang finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and the other two elders kept a close eye on Su Ran's expression.

But her expression was so natural.

In such a grand setting.

An ordinary citizen would be nervous.

But her background as an ordinary citizen is quite baffling; she now faces these bigwigs with such nonchalance.

Therefore, their overly natural behavior made them suspicious.

Chief Yang was trying to get some information out of Su Ran. Although having hundreds of billions or even billions in assets in China was not surprising, it was indeed not worth the Economic Investigation Department and the Finance Department going to such lengths.

However, according to the information they found and the globally co-branded Billionaire Gold Card, the amount in the card is astonishingly high, with an account balance of +∞. (Ah Yang's comment: Don't take this into reality!)

The radar for every single expense remains unchanged, always showing the same number, which inevitably attracts the attention of those in power.

Chief Yang looked at the countless zeros and promptly reported them. So, as soon as he received the order, he took a plane to Shanghai.

The source of income is just an inheritance; everyone has so much inheritance that it's impossible to count it all!

However, all investigations have shown that the source of this money was legal and compliant.

But the more reasonable something is, the more problematic it becomes!

So I wanted to see if I could find out anything, but the other person's expression was as natural as...

Isn't it normal to have these things?

Su Ran glanced at some papers on the table and roughly guessed that they contained information about herself.

I couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Individuals have no privacy whatsoever in the face of the state.

So what? Su Ran is a law-abiding citizen in China! She is loyal only to her own country!

“Chief Yang, while international money laundering may allow one to have a large amount of savings, no one would be foolish enough to put all their money in one card.” Su Ran’s voice rang out, but judging from the other person’s expression, Su Ran probably thought that she was that fool.

"Chief Yang, you can find out whether I'm involved in international money laundering or not, so why try to trick me into saying anything? The inheritance I mentioned is real; it's not just a rumor."

Su Ran practically had "If you don't believe me, come and investigate me!" written all over her face.

However, they had already searched but found no useful information before inviting someone over, but even then, they didn't find anything useful.

Chief Yang's expression softened. "Comrade Su, we know you are a law-abiding citizen, and you even joined forces with the Shanghai police to help abducted Chinese. Young Su, your courage is truly admirable!"

Commander Yang expressed his gratitude as he spoke, saying that rescuing abducted Chinese was their mission as soldiers.

"Commander Yang, you flatter me. Soldiers are always ahead of us. I only did a very small thing, and it is my good fortune to be able to help the country." These words came from the bottom of her heart. She loves her motherland, appreciates its impartiality and strictness, and hopes for its prosperity.

Chief Yang's eyes gleamed. "Good boy! Good boy! The people above know you well and hope that young friend Su can do more things that benefit China."

Chief Yang paused, looking at Su Ran as if he wanted to see through her to the millions of young people behind her who were building the motherland.

"The rest of the effort will depend on you young people."

Su Ran nodded emphatically, her tone earnest and sincere, "Chief Yang, rest assured, I will do my utmost to make our country prosperous and strong."

...

When Song Cheng saw Su Ran out, it was already dark. Su Ran talked with the three old men for a long time, and she admired Chief Yang from the bottom of her heart.

Every word and phrase is for the sake of the nation.

Every thought and action is directed towards China.

There are many such people, and the happy and peaceful lives they enjoy now are the result of the hard work of the older generation.

As their juniors, we must not let them down.
