inner-instantaneous Insolvency

When the inspector told him that his company was insolvent, Chris almost went insane.
檢查員告訴克里斯他的 公司無償債能力時, 他幾乎都要瘋了。

He was supposed to be rich! He just couldn't believe

that all of his innovations hadn't taken care of his expenses! Because of his inspiration

he had developed products to protect crops from devastating insect infestation,

made communication between computers almost instantaneous and cured several forms of cancer! How could he have no money?

Upon his own further inspection of the situation, however, Chris saw innumerable mistakes in the company bookkeeping.

The man who inspected them had been correct. He called in his brother, Jeff, the chief accountant.
檢查人員沒有錯。 他把主任會計師--他 的兄弟杰夫叫了進來。
Jeff immediately said that he was innocent. But the quick plea of innocence made Chris insecure

and he heard an inner voice tell him to look at Jeff's private accounts. He told Jeff everything was okay and that he could relax.
他聽到內心有個聲音對 他說：看看杰夫的私人 賬戶。 他告訴杰夫沒出任何事 情, 他可以放松了。
When Jeff left Chris became inspired. Without any input from the inspector on where money had gone,

and he didn't want anything to do with a brother who had cheated him. Chris luckily retrieved most of the money
