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

In the conference room.

He Jingyan was speechless for a long time after Shen Ling'er said, "Don't be so shocked."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he covered his face.

"Mr. He, now you know how we've gotten through these past few days, right?"

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh: "Every time we're just about to be shocked, Ling'er reminds us that there's more to come."

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er, his expression slowly returning from surprise to seriousness.

"it is good."

He said.

"Then I won't be shocked yet."

Shen Ling'er nodded in satisfaction.

"Can."

Zhao Lei immediately turned to the camera: "Dear viewers, Young Master He has officially entered Ling'er's class. The first lesson: Shock requires queuing."

Yang Mi sat beside him, wanting to laugh but feeling mostly nervous.

She could tell.

Shen Ling'er's condition has changed.

Just now, while she was eating, taking a nap, and arguing with Zhao Lei, she was still that little devil.

But now, looking at the chips on the screen, the nonchalant look in her eyes is gone.

Like a little wild animal starting to stalk its prey.

It wasn't excitement.

It's about focus.

Qin was online but didn't urge them.

The advisor from the Australian island even sat up straight.

He initially felt somewhat absurd about involving a five-year-old child in this matter.

Even if the He family was the one who brought it up.

Even the police agree.

In his mind, chip identification is a very professional matter.

Materials, process, weight, magnetism, anti-counterfeiting layer, coding rules, circulation records.

None of these are things a child can understand.

But Shen Ling'er only glanced at it before saying, "It's not pretending to be new, it's pretending to be old."

This statement hit the nail on the head regarding a point that had been debated internally for a long time.

So now, nobody treats her like a normal child anymore.

Shen Ling'er pointed to the edge of the fake chips on the screen.

"here."

The assistant immediately zoomed in on the image.

On the screen, a fine wear pattern appeared around the side of the chip.

Shen Ling'er continued watching the screen.

"It's really old, not like that."

He Jingyan immediately asked, "How is it different?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"It's really old and messy."

Everyone was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er stretched out her small hand and gestured in the air.

"Some people take it, some people put it down, some people push it, and some people throw it."

"The table is hard, my hands are soft, my sleeves will get rubbed, and the box will get worn out."

"That's why it's old in a different way."

She pointed to the edge of the fake chips.

"This old one is too obedient."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

He Jingyan's eyes suddenly darkened.

The Australian advisor's expression also changed.

"The old ones are too obedient..."

He repeated it in a low voice.

Then he immediately looked at the staff member next to him.

"Pull up the side wear detection image of sample number three."

Soon, another image appeared on the screen.

That was a texture image magnified several times.

To the average person, it just looks like a ring of messy scratches.

But professionals quickly noticed the anomaly.

The Australian advisor spoke in a low voice.

"really."

"The wear depth, intervals, and directions of the several fake chips are highly consistent."

"We previously suspected it was mass-produced aged materials, but we didn't judge it from the perspective of 'usage logic'."

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er.

"You mean, it's not that they're incapable of doing it more realistically?"

"Or perhaps they used a machine to age the material, making the marks too neat?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Machines don't understand how humans think."

These words were spoken.

The meeting room fell silent again.

Zhao Lei was about to crack a joke, but his mouth closed halfway.

Because this sentence feels strangely cold.

Machines don't understand human thought.

Bai Sisi said softly, "She's not looking at the scratches."

He Chuan continued, "She's looking at what the chips should have gone through."

Qin Zheng remained silent for a few seconds online before saying, "Ling'er, you can continue."

Shen Ling'er stared at those pictures.

"The chips in a casino aren't just on the table."

She paused.

"So it's really old, and it has a human touch."

Zhao Lei couldn't help but whisper, "Those words gave me goosebumps."

The live chat exploded.

"She was looking at the experience of the chips, not at the chips themselves."

"It's really old, it feels human... What kind of five-year-old would say something like that?"

"I suddenly understand why the He family spent 30 million; her perspective is too unique."

"A professional team reviews the materials; she observes how the lies are developed."

"How exactly did Shen Fei teach him? This isn't just knowledge, it's a methodology!"

He Jingyan did not smile this time.

He looked at Shen Ling'er with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

He had initially thought that the child might point out some details.

But to my surprise, she immediately shifted the focus from "identifying the real from the fake" to "the logic of disguise".

Why are these fake chips causing trouble?

Because it doesn't simply mimic real chips.

It is mimicking an "old chip that already exists in the casino system".

If casino staff subconsciously assume that a chip has already been in circulation, they won't examine it as carefully as they would a new chip.

It's not deceiving the machine.

Rather, it is people's relaxation towards "familiar things".

He Jingyan's heart suddenly sank.

If Shen Ling'er's judgment is correct.

That means the other party is very familiar with the casino's internal procedures.

They even know how staff members slack off and how they habitually let certain things go unnoticed.

This is far more terrifying than simply counterfeiting.

Shen Ling'er looked at a few more sample images.

"This is different."

The assistant stopped immediately.

Which one?

Shen Ling'er pointed to the fourth one.

"It's not old."

Zhao Lei immediately raised his hand: "I get it now! Was the distressing done poorly?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"no."

Zhao Lei silently lowered his hand.

"I don't understand again."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "It's for testing purposes."

He Jingyan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"try?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"There are too many old ones ahead."

"This one is a little less old."

"This shows that they don't know what level of resemblance is best."

"So they're trying."

The Australian advisor's expression completely changed.

He immediately flipped through the documents.

Mr. He.

"The first batch of counterfeit chips we found earlier were indeed very few in number and had low face value."

"The ones discovered later were clearly more sophisticated in their aging process."

He Jingyan tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"They are iterating."

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "It's like testing the waters with loose banknotes in the early stages of the counterfeit money case."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Bad people practice before they do bad things."

Zhao Lei said in a low voice, "This sentence is perfectly normal, so why does it sound so terrifying coming from Ling'er's mouth?"

Bai Sisi nodded gently.

"Because she was right."

The comments section was filled with shock once again.

"Starting with small-scale trials and then expanding to full scale after maturity—isn't this just a cycle of evolving criminal products?"

"Even bad guys need to practice; that's a very straightforward statement."

"Shen Ling'er isn't appraising treasures; she's working backwards to deduce the other party's workflow."

"He Jingyan is completely serious now; he's truly been beaten into submission."

He Jingyan looked at the advisor from Macau.

"Pull up the inflow timeline."

The consultant took immediate action.

A simplified timeline appears on the screen.

Some information has been obscured, but the order in which the fake chips appeared can be seen.

Shen Ling'er looked at it for a few seconds.

Then he frowned.

"wrong."

He Jingyan immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the very center of the timeline.

"It shouldn't be broken here."

The advisor was taken aback.

"No fake chips were found during this period."

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"It's not that there isn't one."

"It wasn't discovered."

The air in the conference room tightened again.

Shen Ling'er's voice wasn't loud, but it was very certain.

"They were testing it earlier."

"The later parts are even more realistic."

"There will be no stopping in between."

"Stop, or you'll lose your skills."

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"You've even gotten used to your skills?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Won't your mouth get rusty if you don't speak for three days?"

Zhao Lei immediately shook his head: "No, I have extraordinary talent."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Then you do have a very familiar mouth."

The entire audience: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she bent over.

"Ling'er, that's a really hurtful thing to say."

Zhao Lei looked indignant: "I was clearly trying to liven things up."

Shen Ling'er: "You succeeded."

Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight again.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The previously oppressive atmosphere in the conference room was eased a little.

But He Jingyan couldn't laugh.

Because he knew that Shen Ling'er's words just now, "It's not that there wasn't one, it's that it wasn't discovered," were very likely true.

If the other party continues to test during that period without being detected by the system.

That means these fake chips have bypassed certain internal procedures.

The problem is deeper than they think.

He Jingyan looked at his assistant.

"Check the low-denomination circulation records during that period."

The assistant nodded and quickly contacted the back office.

A few minutes later, a filtered record was sent to the meeting screen.

The consultant looked at it for a moment, his expression growing increasingly grim.

There were several unusual transactions.

"The amount isn't large."

"But the frequency is strange."

"Previously, it was categorized as a normal fluctuation in passenger flow and was not singled out separately."

He Jingyan took a slow breath.

He looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Little Ling'er."

"You were right again."

Shen Ling'er, however, was not smug.

She only took a sip of warm milk.

"Um."

Zhao Lei looked at her calm demeanor, then glanced at He Jingyan's obviously serious face.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"I've realized now that the scariest thing isn't that Ling'er was right."

He Chuan asked, "What is that?"

Zhao Lei said earnestly, "I wasn't surprised at all when she was right."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "Because she feels that's how it should be."

Shen Ling'er looked up: "No."

Everyone looked at her.

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "It was my father who said that."

"A person does something bad, and they don't just do it once."

"I was scared for the first time."

"Second time, it goes smoothly."

"I felt smart on the third try."

"Then it will leave a tail."

The meeting room fell silent again.

Qin Zheng whispered online, "That line sounds like something out of a criminal investigation."

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"My dad wasn't that serious."

Zhao Lei immediately perked up: "What's the original version?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"My dad said that the first time a thief steals candy, he'll guard the door."

"The second time he stole candy, he was watching the cabinet."

"The third time I stole the candy, I only looked at the candy."

Everyone was taken aback.

Immediately, I felt a chill run down my spine.
