Having Money Makes You a Corrupt Official? Then What's the Point?

"If being an official means I can't get rich and enjoy life, and having money makes me a corrupt official, then what the hell am I even doing in this job?"

Facing the investigation team, Lin Yue stated his position with righteous conviction.

Investigation team: "You're not corrupt?"

"Then where did your tens of billions in cash and priceless antiques come from?"

Lin Yue: "I'm just a village official. Tell me, how could I embezzle that much?"

Investigation team: "That's the key question in this case!"

Lin Yue: "Was there a problem with my work?"

Investigation team: "No!"

Lin Yue: "Did I improve everyone's lives?"

Investigation team: "Very much so!"

Lin Yue: "Then what did I do wrong?"

Investigation team: "Is that your excuse for corruption?"

"You've got tens of billions in cash and countless antiques and paintings stashed at home... You're a village official. Does that make any sense?"

Lin Yue: "What law says a village official can't make money or enjoy life?"

Investigation team: "...!!! Fine, then tell us exactly how you made all that money!"

Lin Yue: "Damn, I've got so much money I can't even remember!"
