Finn Lewis casually took out his own phone and dug up the ssage from ICBC, then handed it directly over to Mr. Wood. Mr. Wood took a dubious look at Finn before accepting the phone. But when he saw the content displayed on the screen, he imdiately bulged his eyes!
"100 million yuan?!"" Mr. Wood couldn't help but exclaim. He was aware of Finn's family background, just an ordinary working-class family. So, having suddenly received a transfer of 100 million yuan, it was clear that the money couldn't possibly have co from illegal activities like robbery. Now, unless you're robbing a bank vault, you couldn't get your hands on 100 million yuan in cash. And where would Finn have gone to rob a bank vault?
"Kid, where did you get this money from? Have you obtained it through illegal ans on the internet?" Mr. Wood imdiately looked up at Finn, asking accusingly.
Finn could only laugh helplessly in response, "I an, Mr. Wood, can't I do anything legal in your eyes? Although our computing departnt at F University isn't as superior as Tsinghua or Peking, we have a few alumni whose net worth is above billions, right?"
"Well, you're not wrong. But none of your alumni have made billions while still studying at the university." Mr. Wood looked at Finn with increasing suspicion.
Being a ntor of the computing departnt at F University, and having Mr. Wood's curriculum also encompass computer science engineering, he was naturally well-versed in the field. It's true that computer science has the potential to create billionaires, but for a software or any piece of technology to sell for over a billion is a rarity, especially when you have no initial capital.
Similarly, computer science engineering doesn't lack another kind of individual - hackers! With the eruption of the North Federation's Prism Gate incident this June, hackers have entered the public eye and are no longer a mystery. And within the computing departnt at F University, there are plenty of talented students. Mr. Wood feared that Finn had used these illegal ans to obtain the money.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wood, my money can withstand investigation. However, I can't tell you anything right now because it involves trade secrets." Finn chuckled twice, leaving Mr. Wood on a cliffhanger.
"Alright, then. If that's the case, I'm reassured. But what do you plan to do with that money? The police ca to the departnt early this morning and they're waiting in the office." Mr. Wood nodded his head, then with a touch of resignation, ntioned the issue. He didn't know what to make of Finn. Was he nouveau riche now? He had just gotten his hands on 100 million yuan, and he had imdiately used 2 million yuan to hit soone.
However, having heard the full story, Mr. Wood couldn't exactly chide Finn for his actions.
"What do you an, 'what am I going to do'? I might have used the money to hit soone, but I didn't say I was giving it to her, did I? Theoretically, the money should still be mine, yes? If a classmate picked it up, then they picked it up, but why did she go to the police?" Finn raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, er... you should go clear things up with the officers. After all, you, as one of the persons directly involved, need to explain things. But... you, kid, have quite a temper. I can understand that, but now that you have money, you can't just eat into your principal. Isn't that simply being prodigal?" Despite his previous statent, Mr. Wood couldn't help but offhandedly advise Finn.
"Thank you, Mr. Wood, I understand." Finn responded with a broad smile. He knew Mr. Wood had his best interests at heart.
"Alright, let's go then. I'll announce to the students in the classroom and then accompany you to the departnt office." Mr. Wood patted Finn's shoulder.
Mr. Wood let everyone in the classroom continue with their self-study, then led Finn towards the head of the departnt's office. No matter the cause, the school took the fact that the police had co around very seriously.
Upon their arrival at the Departnt Head's office, Finn found himself stepping foot in it for the first ti during his three years of schooling. Upon entering the office, Finn saw the police officers sitting there with the Departnt Head.
Seeing Finn co in, the two middle-aged police officers sitting on the sofa stood up. The lead officer asked, "Are you Finn Lewis?"
"Yes, it's . Hello, officers," Finn imdiately greeted them.
"Hello, Finn. I'm Director Samuel from Handan Road Police Station. We need you to cooperate with us on an inquiry regarding an incident from yesterday morning," the leading middle-aged officer scrutinized Finn from top to bottom with a dubious look, then began.
"Hello Director Samuel, whatever needs my cooperation, I'll certainly cooperate," Finn grinned and nodded in agreent.
With Finn agreeing so readily, Sharp Jas couldn't help but take another look at this student. In Sharp's over two decades of experience as a police officer, Finn looked like just an average university student, in no way resembling a wealthy individual.
But if not a wealthy individual, then how to explain the incident from yesterday morning? Many students had captured the scene on video at the ti. Although the video was slightly fuzzy and they couldn't clearly see the faces of those involved, based on the clothes and physique, and with many students as witnesses, it was undoubtedly this young man in front of them.
Two million yuan! That wasn't 200 yuan or 2,000 yuan. With his salary, it would take him at least 30 years to earn 2 million yuan! But this young man had just casually taken out that huge sum and hit soone with it.
"Mr. Wood, is there a problem on Finn's side?" Robert Thomp couldn't help but ask. As the head of the computer science departnt, despite having been a teacher at F University for many years, he had never encountered a situation like this.
He had seen plenty of wealthy students, but none had ever publicly used 2 million yuan in cash to hit soone under broad daylight. Robert Thomp had never seen anything like it before. But yesterday, Robert had perused Finn's file from the departnt, and Finn's family was just an average one, so how could they possibly cough up 2 million yuan?
"There's no problem. The money Finn made is all through legitimate ans," assured Mr. Wood, who was inclined to believe Finn, and nodded in response to Robert.
"Legitimate? Then can you tell us, Finn, where did you get that 2 million yuan? I've seen your school profile, and your family is an ordinary farming family, correct? And no one among your relatives could possibly loan you such a large sum of money, correct?" Robert imdiately turned to Finn and asked.
"All I can say is that the money is earned by through my own efforts. As for other details, I can't speak on them as they're trade secrets," Finn responded, earnest in expression.
Isn't that obvious? What proof does Finn have to offer right now? Should he claim that he's Fruit Company's largest individual shareholder? Or that he's the largest shareholder overall? Isn't that nonsense? Without actual evidence, who would believe it? As for seeking verification from Fruit Company, that's not sothing that can be proven in the short term.
However, Finn wasn't worried, as long as no one could prove that the money was obtained illegally, he was safe.
