Robert Thomp was immediately irritated. A trade secret? Does this also count as a trade secret? “Finn Lewis, what kind of attitude is this? How did you get this money, won’t you have an explanation? A trade secret can’t just gloss over it? I’m telling you, the police officers are handling this issue in the school out of respect for the institution. Do you know that if this was brought to the police station, it would add a nasty blot on your record? Hurry up and explain, where did this money come from? You’re still young, it’s normal for young people to make mistakes, but it is also necessary to correct them.”

As Robert Thomp spoke seriously, Finn furrowed his eyebrows, glanced at Robert and said, “Mr. Thomp, what are you insinuating? Are you suggesting that my money was definitely obtained illegally? Can’t it be money that I’ve personally earned?”

“You earned it yourself? How did you earn it? Plus, I’ve checked your whole academic record. Although your grades were not bad since high school, they were by no means top-notch. Even though you were admitted to this school, over the past three years you have failed four or five subjects, it was supplemental exams that helped you pass. Many of them were sympathy grades given by teachers. With such results, how did you earn 2 million yuan? Even more, in just a couple of days? Two days ago, you were still working part-time, right? If you had money then, would you have worked?” Robert Thomp asked back sternly.

“Mr. Thomp, are you implying that I definitely obtained this money illegally? Can’t it be money that I’ve personally earned?” Finn chuckled and asked.

“How did you earn it?!” Robert Thomp immediately questioned.

“It’s a trade secret, as I’ve said.” Finn confidently spoke.

“What kind of attitude is this? Do you even want to solve your problem? What trade secret? Yours? Should we sign a non-disclosure agreement for you?” Robert Thomp slapped the desk with a loud “bam”, the less Finn talked, the more Robert became sure that Finn’s money was not obtained through regular channels.

“Hold on.” Finn immediately interrupted Robert Thomp, turned to the middle-aged officer, and asked, “Director Samuel, could you please clarify what exactly you are investigating?”

“We are here to investigate how you showered Cora Franklin with money yesterday morning, right in front of F University’s main teaching building. Because Cora claimed the money was hers, a lot of students picked up several hundred thousand yuan. What we have managed to recover so far is only 1.88 million yuan. Therefore, we came to ask for your cooperation in the investigation.” Sharp James spoke swiftly.

“So you’re only investigating yesterday’s incident because Cora reported it to the police?” Finn immediately asked.

“Yes, that is correct.” Sharp James nodded his head somewhat curiously.

Finn turned directly to Robert Thomp and said, “Did you hear that clearly, Mr. Thomp? Director Samuel is only here to investigate yesterday morning’s incident. As long as the money can be proven as mine, that should be sufficient, right? There were so many students at the scene, proving it’s my money won’t be hard, will it? But it seems that Director Samuel isn’t here to investigate how I earned this money.”

“You!” Robert Thomp was nearly suffocated from anger. Sharp James swiftly intervened, “Finn, we’re indeed here to investigate yesterday’s incident. But it would certainly help if you could explain where your money came from. If the source of your money is unclear, we do have the right to investigate, even if we didn’t receive an official report.”

While Robert Thomp was about to say something, a knock came from the door. Robert Thomp immediately said for the visitor to come in. Upon opening the door, three people entered the room. Seeing these three people, a faint sneer appeared on Finn’s face.

It was no one else but Cora Franklin, another male student, and a teacher, probably from their department. Upon seeing Finn, Cora was momentarily taken aback but she quickly turned to Sharp James and said, “Director Samuel, is it clear now? Can you help me get the money back?”

“The situation is still unclear,” Sharp James responded.

“What’s unclear? He’s right here now, Finn, I ask you, were you the one who dumped that money all over me yesterday? Was it you?” Cora asked aloud.

“So what if it was?” Finn sneered.

“Did you hear that, Director Samuel?” Cora immediately asked Sharp James.

When that male student first walked in, Finn recognized him immediately. He was Yuri Lucas. Finn’s face immediately turned serious. No wonder, Finn had never bothered to find out who Cora’s new boyfriend was. But seeing Yuri Lucas, Finn immediately understood. The tension between the two could be traced back to their high school days.

“So what if I heard it? Who ever said the money belonged to you?” On seeing the triumphant smile on Yuri Lucas’s face as he walked in, Finn raised his head and cut Cora off.

Everyone in the room was surprised. Cora was also taken aback, then she immediately glared furiously and asked, “Finn, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Are you stupid? Yesterday, I was in a good mood and dumped my money on you. If you had just fucking picked up the money and left, this would’ve been over by now. You picked a bit of money but you fucking called the police. Why did you? Was the money yours?” Finn sneered, his face full of disdain.

“Why the fuck isn’t it my money? If you showered me with fucking money, then it’s my fucking money!” Cora hesitated for a moment, and then shouted back like a shrew.

“Director Samuel, which law of Flame Nation states that if I throw money at somebody, then the money becomes theirs? The incident between her and me yesterday didn’t even amount to a fight or brawl, right? At that moment, I hit her with my stuff, she didn’t even get a bruise. I was a bit ticked and didn’t take my stuff with me, but that doesn’t mean it’s hers, does it?” Finn turned toward Sharp James and spoke calmly.

“Uh…” Sharp James was choked up. He never thought the situation could take such a turn. Initially, he just wanted to verify the money was thrown out by Finn. After all, the amount involved was huge, Cora had reported it to the police, and those students had picked up the money right in front of her. Therefore, it was naturally necessary to get it back. Sharp James never thought that after his arrival, Finn would make such a statement.

But can you say that Finn lied? Sharp James had seen some videos taken by students of yesterday’s incident. Although they were taken from the middle of the event, Sharp James had a clear understanding of what happened. Just as Finn said, from any standpoint, the money shouldn’t be considered Cora’s, it’s still Finn’s money.

“Well… that money is still yours.” Sharp James shook his head, a little bit amused. This incident had attracted a lot of attention, even some small media had reported on it. Sharp James definitely didn’t want to stir up more trouble. After all, this matter couldn’t even be considered a civil dispute, to be honest.

“Did you hear that? You’re just an idiot. Give you some colour, and you’d dye a whole factory? It’s surprising that anyone could like you. I must have been blind before. Director Samuel, since the money is mine, there shouldn’t be any problem with me handling it.”

“I…” Cora’s eyes turned red, she was about to rush at Finn, but Yuri Lucas at her side quickly grabbed her. He chuckled and said, “The money is indeed yours, we all agree on that. But do you think you should clarify how you got the money?”

“None of your fucking business,” Finn snickered, blocking his words with a sentence.

“Finn! Watch your attitude!” Robert Thomp slammed the desk.

Finn ignored him, turned to Sharp James, and said, “Director Samuel, is everything clear? If it’s clear, then can we consider the money issue settled? The money isn’t hers anyway, so there shouldn’t be any problem with me taking it back, right?”
