I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

really.

Everyone's expressions became subtle.

Zhao Lei immediately leaned forward.

"Is Mr. Shen's class starting again?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"My dad says things don't lie."

"But people will."

He Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly.

Shen Ling'er continued, "Is the plate hot? Has the oil stain broken? Is the water stain dry?"

"They don't make up stories."

"If a person lies, things won't match up."

The dining table fell silent once more.

He Jingyan's fingers paused slightly.

Zhao Lei's smile gradually faded a little.

Bai Sisi said softly, "That's a very powerful statement."

He Chuan nodded.

"Physical evidence doesn't lie."

"This is a very important approach in criminal investigation."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "That's not what my father said."

Zhao Lei asked curiously, "What did Mr. Shen say?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "My father said that things are more honest than people."

Everyone: "..."

The next second, Zhao Lei burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Mr. Shen always manages to make grand principles sound like everyday market advice!"

Bai Sisi nodded with a smile: "But it's easy to understand."

He Jingyan also smiled.

This time, however, after he finished laughing, his gaze towards Shen Ling'er deepened.

Things are more honest than people.

This statement is too simple.

But it's too accurate.

The most dishonest people in a casino are people.

People at the card table will try to cover it up.

Dealers are trained in facial expressions.

Gamblers' performance.

Insiders will keep it a secret.

There will be blind spots in the surveillance.

There will be a system delay.

But the chips themselves don't lie.

Its material, weight, wear and tear, edges, feel, and traces left during circulation are all more honest than a person.

He Jingyan suddenly had a feeling.

Perhaps they have always viewed fake chips as a "technical problem".

But Shen Ling'er might see it as "something that's lying".

These two are completely different.

Lunch continues.

To prevent Shen Ling'er from getting too tired from eating, Yang Mi didn't let everyone continue discussing around the chicken leg.

He Jingyan was also very tactful and did not steer the conversation toward fake chips.

The atmosphere at the dining table returned to a relaxed state.

Chen Doudou's mouth was covered in oil from eating, and Lin Jia wiped her mouth three times in a row.

Shen Ling'er couldn't bear to watch.

"Chen Doudou".

Chen Doudou looked up: "Hmm?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the corner of his mouth.

"You lost a fight like a chicken leg."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he almost spat out his soup.

"Ling'er, that's such a vivid metaphor!"

Lin Jia said helplessly, "Dou Dou, slow down."

Chen Doudou wiped her mouth, looking aggrieved.

"The chicken leg is too slippery."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "It didn't run away, you just couldn't catch it."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Zhao Lei looked on with a sigh.

"DouDou, you didn't escape Teacher Ling'er's class this meal either."

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "Today's lesson topic: Chicken leg observation and chicken leg control."

Zhao Mengmeng ate her children's meal obediently and whispered to Bai Sisi, "Mommy, Sister Ling'er is so amazing."

Bai Sisi patted her head.

"It's very impressive."

Zhao Mengmeng thought for a moment, then whispered, "Is Uncle Shen even more amazing?"

Zhao Lei happened to hear this.

Zhao Lei looked up instantly.

"Is that even a question?"

He looked at the camera, his expression as serious as if he were summarizing a program.

"Dear viewers..."

"Little Shen Ling'er just landed in Macau, and she doesn't look at casinos, chips, or luxury cars."

"She noticed the plates had been switched by looking at the chicken leg plate first."

What does this mean?

He Chuan asked in agreement, "What does that mean?"

Zhao Lei slammed his hand on the table.

"This shows that Mr. Shen's education has penetrated into the catering, travel, finance, anti-gambling, and criminal investigation scenarios."

"Comprehensive coverage"

"Infiltration without blind spots".

"Except for cooking, he's amazing in every other aspect!"

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"The main problem is that he's bad at cooking."

Zhao Lei nodded: "Yes, Mr. Shen's only weakness must be emphasized."

Yang Mi was both annoyed and amused.

"That's enough for you two."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

He Jingyan listened to these teasing remarks, but his curiosity only grew stronger.

Shen Fei.

This name has been mentioned repeatedly in the program.

But nobody knows who he really is.

No one knew his profession.

Nobody knows his background.

He has never shown his face.

Do not respond.

No explanation needed.

However, his presence almost overshadowed all the other guests.

He Jingyan was initially skeptical of this kind of online mythologizing.

We've seen plenty of elaborate packaging in wealthy families.

I've seen too many personas.

I've also seen too much marketing of so-called "geniuses".

But now, he has to admit it.

The name Shen Fei is indeed hard to ignore.

At the very least, a father who can raise a child like Shen Ling'er cannot be just an ordinary father.

After lunch.

Instead of arranging communication immediately, He Jingyan personally led the production team to the guest room area.

The hotel arranged a relatively independent suite area for the production crew on one floor.

Security is in the distance.

Do not disturb, and do not allow strangers to approach.

Yang Mi was very satisfied with this.

After entering the room, the first thing Shen Ling'er did was not to look at the bed or the sea view, but to open her small backpack and take out her account book.

Zhao Lei happened to be passing by the door and saw this scene, so he immediately peeked out.

"Ling'er, are you keeping accounts again?"

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"Um."

Zhao Lei: "What should I write down this time?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

This time, however, they didn't hide anything.

She opened the notebook and wrote another line below "30 million: not yet received".

Chicken drumstick: Passed

Then, after thinking about it, I added:

[Hospital Reception by the He Family: To be observed]

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he had to lean against the doorframe.

"If Mr. He sees this, he'll probably have to keep working hard."

Yang Mi said helplessly, "Ling'er, Mr. He has already made very good arrangements."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Therefore, we need to observe further."

Yang Mi: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed from the side, "Sister Mi, you should be glad she didn't write 'unqualified'."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "Points will be deducted for failing."

Zhao Lei asked curiously, "So, how many points does the He family have now?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Seven points."

Zhao Lei: "What's the maximum score?"

Shen Ling'er: "Ten out of ten."

Zhao Lei stroked his chin: "That's already pretty good."

Shen Ling'er added, "Two points for the chicken leg."

Zhao Lei: "So there's no chicken leg, only five points?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

Zhao Lei looked at the camera.

"Mr. He, did you hear that? The chicken leg determines the upper limit of the 'elite' rating."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"The He family gets seven points, and the chicken leg contributes two."

"This rating system is so realistic."

"No chicken leg, only five points; luxury car, all for nothing."

"Shen Ling'er's criteria for evaluating hospitality in a wealthy family: Food is more important than a car."

He Jingyan: Luckily, I prepared chicken drumsticks.

Yang Mi helped Shen Ling'er change into comfortable clothes and coaxed her to take a nap.

Shen Ling'er didn't really want to sleep.

"I'm not sleepy."

Yang Mi looked at her.

"You're squinting."

Shen Ling'er insisted, "I'm thinking."

Zhao Lei stood at the door and whispered, "Sister Mi, I've learned her excuse."

Shen Ling'er looked at him indifferently.

"You can't use it."

Zhao Lei: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er: "You're squinting like you're sleepy, not like you're thinking."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi pulled him away directly.

"Don't disturb Ling'er's rest."

As Zhao Lei was being dragged away, he lamented, "I have no status in Macau either."

Shen Ling'er lay down on the bed, still clutching the account book in her hand.

Yang Mi sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted her.

The hustle and bustle outside the room gradually faded into the distance.

A little sea breeze blew in through the gaps in the curtains.

Shen Ling'er blinked, then suddenly asked softly, "Mother."

Yang Mi lowered her head: "Hmm?"

Shen Ling'er asked, "Were you nervous when I said we should change the chicken leg plate?"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

She didn't expect her daughter to ask that.

She said softly, "A little."

Shen Ling'er remained silent for a few seconds.

"I'll talk less during meals from now on."

Yang Mi's heart softened immediately.

She bent down and kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Need not."

"Mom isn't telling you not to talk."

"Mom is just worried that you're too tired."

Shen Ling'er whispered, "I'm not tired."

Yang Mi smiled softly.

"Hmm, aren't you tired?"

"But you don't have to be that good all the time."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Then I'm not bad when I'm sleeping."

Yang Mi's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"it is good."

"It's not bad when I'm sleeping."

Shen Ling'er closed her eyes.

After a while, she mumbled again, "My dad said I have to be strong when I sleep."

Yang Mi: "..."

She said helplessly in a low voice, "Your father's words are invalid today."

Shen Ling'er kept her eyes closed and mumbled softly.

"My mother is right."

Yang Mi's heart completely melted.

She sat by the bed, watching her daughter gradually fall asleep.

Then I took out my phone.

Shen Fei's chat box remained unanswered.

Yang Mi stared at the screen for a long time.

Finally, she let out a soft sigh.

Outside the window, the sun shines brightly on Australia.

Inside the room, Shen Ling'er was fast asleep, clutching the account book.

3 PM.

After Shen Ling'er woke up, she was noticeably more energetic.

Her first words were:

I'm a little hungry.

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei happened to be drinking water in the living room when he heard this and immediately turned around.

"Teacher Ling'er, you're not just waking up, you're rebooting your digestive system."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Isn't drinking water considered a reboot?"

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "Zhao Lei, don't go looking for trouble."

He Jingyan arranged for someone to deliver afternoon tea.

It's not an extravagant dessert tower, but rather a small snack that's perfect for children.

milk.

fruit.

Small cakes.

There were also a few savory snacks.

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"There has been progress."

He Jingyan had just come from the corridor when he heard this and asked with a smile, "Will this earn me extra points?"

Shen Ling'er looked at it carefully.

"Half a point."

He Jingyan nodded.

"Thanks."

Zhao Lei was shocked: "Mr. He, you accepted it so quickly."

He Jingyan smiled and said, "Since the scoring system exists, it should be respected."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're very good with words."

Zhao Lei immediately clapped his hands: "Mr. He scored again!"

Shen Ling'er added, "But words don't count as points."

He Jingyan: "..."

Zhao Lei burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, the system has ruled out the use of 'rich family rhetoric'!"

The comments section erupted once again.

He Jingyan: I respect the scoring system. Ling'er: Your words don't count.

"Hilarious! Ling'er doesn't fall for sweet talk, she only loves chicken legs."

"He Jingyan has gradually adapted to the kindergarten auditing system."

"Afternoon tea is halfway done; the Ho family's current time is 7:05!"

After afternoon tea.

He Jingyan finally arranged a formal meeting.

The location is not a casino.

It was not at the Ho family's private club.

Instead, it was in a quiet meeting room inside the hotel.

The meeting room was checked in advance.

There were documents on the table.

The screen is now connected to the video feed.

Qin Zheng and another police representative were online.

There was also an advisor from Australia.

Yang Mi sat down next to Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er sat in a high chair.

A glass of warm milk is placed in front of me.

Zhao Lei, Bai Sisi, He Chuan, and others sat in the back row listening.

The director was very careful behind the camera, even his breathing became much lighter.

He Jingyan spoke first.

"Miss Yang Mi, little Ling'er."

"As previously agreed, we will only have a brief discussion today."

"All the materials presented have been processed."

"It does not involve a dangerous scene."

"If Ling'er feels tired, she can stop at any time."

Yang Mi nodded.

"it is good."

Qin Zheng also said online, "Ling'er, don't feel pressured today."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"Did you have meal?"

Qin Zheng: "..."

The meeting room fell silent for a second.

Zhao Lei immediately lowered his head to suppress his laughter.

Qin Zheng was clearly used to it.

He coughed.

"have eaten."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's fine."

The people around Shen Ling'er, who were not familiar with her, looked somewhat bewildered.

He Jingyan explained with a smile, "Little Ling'er is more concerned about the diet of the investigators."

Qin Zheng: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Team Leader Qin was checked up on again."

"The first question at the start of the Macau conference: Have you eaten yet?"

"Shen Ling'er's prerequisite for handling the case: all adults must eat first."

"He Jingyan's explanation is so official, hahaha."

Then, the first image appeared on the screen.

It's a photo of a chip.

front.

back.

Side.

All of them were filmed in high definition.

To avoid revealing critical information, some markings have been blurred.

As soon as the photo appeared, Zhao Lei craned his neck to look at it.

He stared at it for a long time.

"to be honest."

"I think it's pretty real."

Bai Sisi looked at him: "You've seen the real thing?"

Zhao Lei: No.

Bai Sisi: "Then how do you know it's real?"

Zhao Lei remained silent for two seconds.

"Because it looks expensive."

Shen Ling'er turned to look at him.

"Expensive does not equal genuine."

Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight.

"I was wrong."

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Little Ling'er, you can look around freely for now."

Shen Ling'er didn't rush to speak.

She just stared at the screen.

Her little face gradually calmed down.

The mischievous charm she had when she was eating chicken legs, keeping accounts, and roasting Zhao Lei was still there.

But at this moment, her eyes clearly changed.

It was as if all the noise around us had suddenly been shut off.

The meeting room fell silent.

He Jingyan observed her.

This time, he didn't rush him.

Shen Ling'er looked for about ten seconds, then suddenly asked:

"Where are the real chip photos?"

He Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly.

He signaled to his assistant to switch.

A comparison image of a real chip appears on the screen.

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

Let's look at the fake chips again.

Then she frowned.

"It doesn't want to become completely real."

Several people in the conference room were startled at the same time.

He Jingyan leaned forward slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Ling'er pointed at the screen.

"If you want it to be completely real, you won't do it this way here."

"It deliberately makes some parts look old."

Zhao Lei whispered, "Like an old one?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Things that are too new will attract more attention."

"Being older, people feel that it was always there."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

He Jingyan's expression finally changed noticeably.

Qin Zheng also fell silent for a moment online.

Shen Ling'er continued:

"It's not about playing new cards."

"It's holding a real chip that's already been used."

These words were spoken.

He Jingyan's assistant's expression changed slightly.

Even the advisor from the Australian island couldn't help but speak up:

"This aligns with our initial internal assessment."

"The wear and tear simulation of this batch of counterfeit chips is very strange. It doesn't seem like the counterfeiters simply pursued brand new perfection, but rather deliberately created signs of use."

Zhao Lei leaned back in his chair, his eyes wide open.

"No way."

"She said the direction was right after just looking at the first picture?"

Shen Ling'er turned to look at him.

"Keep your voice down."

Zhao Lei immediately covered his mouth.

"Okay, teacher."

The comments section exploded at that moment.

"It's here! The Macau Island instance is officially launched!"

"You could tell at first glance that it wasn't made to look new, but rather old?"

"Things that are too new will get more attention, but things that are a bit older will feel like they were always there, giving people goosebumps!"

"That's Shen Ling'er's perspective; she's looking at the methods of deception."

He Jingyan's expression changed! He was genuinely shocked!

"Shen Fei has become a legend again. How did he manage to train him?"

"Fake chips aren't a technical problem; they're a problem of identity deception!"

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er.

After a long pause, he said softly:

"Little Ling'er."

"What you just said is very important."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't be shocked yet."

He Jingyan was taken aback.

Zhao Lei burst out laughing instantly.

Shen Ling'er's face was serious.

"I haven't finished watching it yet."
