Conrad’s expression changed drastically as he shouted, “What loan fraud?! I want to see your warrant!”
The middle-aged man pulled out a document with a red seal and handed it to Conrad, speaking indifferently, “Agricultural Bank’s Southeast Province branch has reported to us that you were involved in deliberately defrauding a ten-figure loan.”
Conrad’s eyes burned into the black and white document with a red seal. Its contents were no different from the words the middle-aged man said.
“Hasn’t the situation been solved already? The bank didn’t lose anything and the loan was never moved from the company’s account at all. Why are you only investigating this now? What were you doing then?”
“Are you implying that you wanted us to arrest you earlier?” The middle-aged man scoffed.
“Are you aware of the concept of investigation? Any simple case requires an in-depth investigation. We can only make a move once we have concrete evidence in hand, or we’d end up arresting someone innocent and letting the culprit go!
“Now that we’re here to arrest you, it means we have solid evidence!”
Conrad abruptly turned his head to stare at Jasper intently, roaring, “You’re behind this, aren’t you, Jasper?!”
“Now, now, watch your choice of words. You were the one who broke the law, so how can you blame me? Now these words come with consequences,” Jasper spoke calmly.
Conrad shot forward and slammed on the table in front of Jasper. With red eyes, the man shouted, having gone crazy due to anger.
“No one would’ve investigated this at all if you hadn’t done anything! Not when I didn’t cause a single cent’s loss! The loan was done with your company’s name, so how could they have traced it back to me?
