The Lin Clan's battered ship, riddled with holes; stripping its coffers bare halfway there!
" Uncle Li, why don't we take a plane?" Ling Yi asked, reclining in the back seat and scrolling through his phone.
Dafeng City is about 1,000 kilometers away from Yan City.
By plane, it takes about an hour and a half.
Driving there would take at least ten hours.
"The news of the Young Master's return must be kept secret," Uncle Li replied.
"It seems there's quite a bit of trouble in Yan City!" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Our family has indeed encountered considerable trouble," Uncle Li said, glancing at Ling Yi through the rearview mirror and frowning.
How big of a problem is it?
"It's a huge undertaking. If we can't survive this, the Lin Clan's centuries-old foundation could be destroyed in an instant."
Ling Yi didn't care about the Lin Clan's fate.
All he cared about was whether he could get his hands on the Lin Clan's money.
If the Lin Clan is a mess, then there's no point in going back.
"Isn't the Lin Clan the number one family?" Ling Yi asked.
"It is precisely because the Lin Clan is the most powerful family that it has attracted a pack of wolves to swarm around them."
" The Lin Clan is too large, and in recent years, the internal strife within the Lin Clan Lin Clan has been constantly depleting its core resources."
"Of course, most importantly, the Lin Clan hasn't produced a single competent manager over the years."
"Although the Second Master was dealt with by the Master and Madam, he was also seriously injured as a result."
"The various factions are vying for power and profit, selfish and short-sighted, causing the core family assets to continuously slip away, leaving the master and mistress powerless to stop them."
"Internal and external troubles!" Uncle Li shook his head helplessly.
Uncle Li is an elder of the Lin Clan, so he naturally knows the Lin Clan's situation best.
" The Lin Clan is now a dilapidated ship riddled with holes."
"Without the determination to burn our bridges, everyone will just follow this ship in silence."
After a pause, Uncle Li glanced at Ling Yi again. " Lin Hui, that stand-in Young Master, is quite capable."
"Oh? Uncle Li praised him?"
Uncle Li nodded. "To be honest, that kid is extraordinary in terms of ability, methods, and character."
"In the three years since Lin Hui appeared, he has managed to give the Lin Clan a much-needed breather thanks to his effective methods."
" Young Master, the challenges you will face upon your return this time are likely to be considerable."
"In Yan City these days, everyone knows the fake Young Master, but not the real Young Master."
Ling Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.
I'm kind of looking forward to it!
" Uncle Li, find a shopping mall nearby, I need a Computer."
" Young Master, there's a Computer in the storage compartment under the seat. I use it for playing games. I don't know if that's enough."
Ling Yi rolled over and looked down, and sure enough, he found a storage compartment under the seat.
Opening the storage compartment revealed that it contained more than just a Computer.
There are also all sorts of random snacks and treats.
" Uncle Li, you still like to eat this?" Ling Yi took out a bag of spicy strips.
After tearing open the packaging, put one in your mouth.
"Tsk tsk, this tastes pretty authentic!"
Uncle Li laughed and said, "This is all I, your Uncle Li, have."
"This brand of spicy snacks is one of the few that still retains the taste from my childhood."
"Other brands of spicy strips have long since lost their flavor."
"I cough while eating!"
Ling Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
I never expected Uncle Li to have this side to him.
Opening his Computer, Ling Yi mentally instructed the system, "System, grant me one hour of top-tier hacking skills!"
[Ding, 10 Heartache Points consumed, Top-Tier Hacking Skill successfully activated, duration 1 hour.]
In an instant, Ling Yi's mind became crystal clear.
The massive amount of data that appeared out of nowhere did not make Ling Yi feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
Ling Yi extended and retracted his fingers.
He sat up straight and started typing away on the Computer.
Ling Yi first investigated the Lin Clan's network of relationships.
Then check the bank statements of each family member.
Then, all the funds in everyone's overseas accounts were transferred to the system's own account.
That's right, the first step is to make money.
First, transfer all the funds illegally transferred by these people into your own account.
Then check the others.
"Tsk tsk, interesting!" Ling Yi took a bite of the spicy snack.
"I knew there was something wrong with this stand-in Young Master!"
The first person Ling Yi investigated was Lin Hui, the stand-in Young Master.
Wow, you wouldn't believe it until you look it up!
This kid alone has more than twenty anonymous accounts overseas.
In recent years, nearly 200 billion yuan has been transferred out of the Lin Clan.
Two hundred billion, that's in cash.
Even if the Lin Clan is very large, they can't withstand this kind of exploitation!
However, Lin Hui did this very discreetly.
The transfer of funds was extremely covert; there were more than a hundred stepping stones for these transfers.
What's remarkable is that Lin Hui was able to shift the blame for these problems onto other problems, big and small, within the company.
For example, my third uncle's family was secretly embezzling public funds and transferring money.
But these were all small-scale operations, amounting to tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
For the Lin Clan's size, this amount of money is not a large sum.
The transfer method is also simple and crude: just a few shell companies go back and forth, and that's it.
It simply cannot withstand scrutiny.
Lin Hui, on the other hand, secretly transferred the flow of his transferred funds to them.
What was originally tens of millions has become billions; what was originally hundreds of millions has become tens of billions.
Lin Hui deliberately went back and found evidence of his third uncle's family transferring assets.
He successfully lured his third uncle's family into the trap, and even helped him take the blame.
He himself became the great guy who exposed the company's corrupt officials.
"Hehehe, two hundred billion? I'll gladly accept it!" Ling Yi pressed the enter key.
He clapped his hands in satisfaction.
In just a short Kung Fu Hustle, Ling Yi's account had gained more than 270 billion.
Converted to real currency, that's 2.7 billion.
Once we've accumulated enough "Heartache Points," we'll be rich when we return to the real world.
Who could have imagined that Ling Yi, this fake Young Master, would have already emptied the Lin Clan's coffers halfway through their journey?
I wonder how Lin Hui would feel if he knew that the 200 billion he had painstakingly obtained from the Lin Clan had been taken away overnight.
If Lin Hui had Heartache Points" (meaning he could cause a lot of heartache), I'm sure he would be able to gain a lot of fans!
However, the thought of the Heartache Points gave Ling Yi a headache.
Each world only has a few hundred Heartache Points.
When the hell will this time travel to?
We can only wait and see if there are other ways to obtain "Heartache Points" after the system upgrade.
" The Lin Clan is truly finished!"
An hour later, Ling Yi shut down his Computer.
" Young Master, it's inappropriate for you to talk about your own family like that!" Uncle Li said, glancing at the rearview mirror.
I'm stating the facts.
The Lin Clan's total assets are nearly one trillion.
But now, more than 270 billion yuan has been embezzled by members of the family.
This is cash flow.
It's important to understand that cash flow and assets are two different things.
The Lin Clan is now facing a broken capital chain.
It's just one last thread that's holding it up.
If they were to cause even the slightest trouble, the once mighty Lin Clan could crumble in the blink of an eye.
The Lin Clan's ship is already half-sunken.
However, at least he used Lin Feng's identity.
When the ship sinks, save Lin Feng's parents and leave them enough money to live comfortably in their old age.
