"Son, I am sorry to break it to you- like I know I said you don't have to worry about getting involved in the company. But... I don't know I just have this hunch as if something is gonna go wrong. And I want to talk to you regarding that."

"No problem, Dad. You can tell me, and I will try my best to help you with that Dad!"

"So actually, I want you to look into this matter. A substantial amount of money seems to have been transferred recently, but there's no record of it. When I inquired with the finance department, they claimed ignorance about any ongoing transfers. I'm worried that illegal money transactions might be occurring without any record-keeping. I asked the accountants, and they seem unaware as well."

"Dad, why don't you take any action? This is a serious issue, and you're the company's boss."

"I wish it were that simple. I feel like I've lost my authority even before retiring. I thought my son would be the next hire, but he already had something else going on in his mind. I mean that's the main reason for the two companies merging so that our company would have its CEO, right?"

"Yes..."

"Don't worry, kid. I'm not upset that you chose a different path. I'm just saddened by how my employees seem to be betraying me. I've always treated them well; our company is known for it. But now..."

"But Dad, why not talk to Mr. Lee? He might understand. After all, he's also managing the company."

"I did talk to him. He showed me all the financial files from his company, and there's no trace of the transactions that would account for money moving from our company to theirs."

"Huh?"

"Yes, my child. If this keeps up, we might go bankrupt. Our company could be ruined."

"So, there is no record available from the accountants of our company about such a large amount of money transferred?"

"No son they are summing it under the salaries but that's not possible."

"Why not?"

"I went through the salary files in detail, and suddenly there's this additional money tied to their salaries. Does that make sense? The records are inaccurate, and I've asked them to thoroughly investigate. Yet, they're clueless."

"Okay, wait Dad why don't you ask those employees yourselves?"

"Which employees?"

"The ones receiving these unexpected high payments."

"Hmmm that's a good idea but that's somewhat impossible considering the number of employees that have been paid high and that too in different teams whoever is doing this is very clever."

"It's okay Dad! Everything is possible it's just that impossible takes time!"

Yeah... Look, can you visit their company and dig into this? While I question our employees, your presence there could keep them distracted."

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll handle it. I'll head to their company now and look into the matter. There can only be a few individuals who know about this."

"And who, according to you, might be these individuals?"

"And who, according to you, might be these individuals?"
