Chiang Xiao bought groceries and hurried home to cook.
Ah Liu was still in the study looking at something. She took a glance and then stepped out.
It wasn't until she finished cooking and went to call him for dinner that Ah Liu closed the thick account book, rubbed his eyes, and came out.
"Dad, you weren't looking at it all morning, were you?"
"I indeed looked at it all morning, and I made a big discovery."
"What big discovery?"
"I've been looking at old account books, starting from twenty-five years ago. I discovered someone had been secretly diverting money, here a bit, there a bit, and then creating smokescreens to cover the traces. But there were still clues. Adding it all up until the year before last, do you know how much money that is?"
"How much?"
Chiang Xiao then realized he had been investigating the old account books of the Jiang Family all along, and starting from twenty-five years ago, what a massive undertaking that must be.
