Gulp.
That was the sound of John swallowing his saliva with difficulty.
At this moment, the air in the private room was extremely tense.
It felt as if everyone had been set firmly in place with glue. Nobody dared to do or say anything.
John was seriously scared.
He was scared that Hugh would be completely infuriated and do something irrational.
This place was filled with Hugh’s men, and if he really were to go insane, nobody would guarantee what would happen to Jasper and him.
“Heh!”
When everyone was holding their breath and did not dare to exhale, Hugh made this sound from his throat.
It sounded like a laugh, but since it was too short and cold, nobody felt any benevolence from it.
“Jasper, nobody dares to be impudent in front of me. Meanwhile, you have completely enraged me.”
While he said that, Hugh stared fixedly at Jasper with his eyes glinting in a hostile manner.
“I’ll let you guess if I have the guts to call a few of my men in here, pluck the nerves of your hands and legs and give them tens of thousands of dollars to leave the country. What will be waiting for you then is a lifetime of disability.”
…
A little while before Jasper and John arrived at the hotel.
The two young men in John’s office were waiting for the trading to commence.
They did not dare to hesitate. When it was time, their fingers immediately flew across the keyboard and they started doing what John had told them to do before he left.
At the next moment, Company A received a two billion cash injection.
Zoni was the blue chip stock in the eyes of a lot of stock investors.
A second before the trading commenced, its price was still flat and reasonable.
A lot of the stock investors who were following this got the news about the dealer hyping and there would be a huge increase very soon.
When they were considering whether to buy some, in the next second, the price of the stock plummeted.
