Zeke lifted his legs and kicked the thugs out of the office.
Dawn looked at him with admiration. “Zeke, you’re the best!”
“It’s what I should do.” Zeke said to her again.
Lacey was speechless at the side.
The two of you really take others as fools. You’re just looking for excuses to beat those guys up.
Who would believe that you hit the guys just because they have disgusted and scared Dawn?
At this point, the thugs were infuriated.
What an asshole! At least give some warning before you make a move. You should give your opponent time to react. You have to play a fair game.
You are worse than some rascals as they have principles unlike you.
Henry gritted his teeth, “Great! Just great! I wanted to give you a chance to concede defeat. But it looks like you guys have a death wish!”
Henry took out his phone and dialed a number, “Uncle, just do it.”
He hung the phone and looked at Zeke smugly. “Did you know who I just called?”
“The director of Eurasia Bank Regulatory Bureau. He’s practically brothers with my God-father! Linton Group is associated with smuggling and fraud involving huge amounts of money. Just wait and see how you are going bankrupt and sent to jail!”
Lacey retorted, “That’s nonsense. There is no way Linton Group will be associated with any smuggling or fraud activities.”
Henry sneered, “Is that so? Then what’s with the infamous smuggling ring overseas wiring you 1.5 billion?”
Lacey’s face went pale in an instant.
So that was how the 1.5 billion came about.
“Dawnie, call the police to clarify this matter. The 1.5 billion has nothing to do with the Linton Group.” She quickly said to Dawn.
Henry laughed. “Haha! There’s no use reporting to the police. This is a financial fraud and is under the jurisdiction of the Bank Regulatory Bureau. The police have no authority!”
Lacey suddenly felt her mouth went dry as she was exasperated at his words.
“What a dumbass.” Zeke snorted at Henry.
He’s essentially telling us all his plans. That will buy us some time.
Zeke took out his phone and sent a text to Lone Wolf. The origin of the transaction has been identified. It comes from an overseas smuggling ring. Launder the money right away.
Lone Wolf replied. Yes, Sir!
In ten minutes, Lone Wolf replied. Zeke, the money is clean. The origin has been changed to Paul Venture Capitalist instead.
Zeke replied. Excellent.
Not long after, a man who looked like a government official and dressed in a suit walked in.
A fierce-looking bodyguard with slicked-back hair led the way.
That man was Shawn Badley, the man whom Henry addressed as Uncle Badley.
Dawn said in a small voice, “He looks so scary.”
“You dare to scare Dawnie...” Zeke was playing his same old trick.
Lacey stopped him short. “Shut up. Zeke, please don’t hit him. We can’t afford to offend someone like him.”
“But he has scared the sh*t out of Dawnie...” replied Zeke.
Lacey was getting annoyed. “Are you guys done? The excuses you make up to hit someone are way too lame.”
Zeke and Dawn looked embarrassed. So she saw through us.
Henry got up with much effort and approached Shawn, “Uncle Badley, you’re finally here. These are the people in charge of the Linton Group. I have seen them doing transactions with the overseas smuggling ring.”
Dawn was furious and she bellowed, “You’re spouting nonsense and trying to frame us!”
“Shut up! How improper of you to yell before a government official on duty!” Shawn was incensed.
“The three of you are people in charge of the Linton Group, am I right? I am hereby charging you with smuggling activities. The company operation will be temporarily suspended. I am remanding the three of you for an investigation.”
