I thought that by saying this, Brock might be moved. But he just stiffened his neck and refused to speak any further. Even so, I could already guess that Jeremiah was behind him.
After all, the only person who had the power to control Brock, despised my entrepreneurial efforts to the core, and was willing to go to extreme lengths to stop me was Jeremiah.
Given that sending Brock to the police at this stage would alert the culprit, Eric and I discussed it and ultimately decided to lock Brock in the top-floor conference room of the Flint Group building.
Once that was settled, Eric, Levi, and I sat in Eric's office silently.
I lifted my gaze to Eric's composed face and broke the silence. "Have you found any records of him trading with others?"
Eric shook his head. "Not yet. It's likely an overseas transfer. The process is a bit complicated, so it'll take some time to uncover everything."
Levi snorted in disbelief. "I thought you were so clever, but you can't even figure that out."
Eric gave Levi a sidelong glance. "It's still better than a certain someone who hasn't found anything. Not only did you fail to uncover the truth, but you're also here causing a disturbance."
A flash of shame crossed Levi's face, and he looked at me apologetically as if regretting not being able to help more.
I quickly reassured him, "I've seen everything you've done for me these past few days. I know you've been working hard. At this point, let's save the arguing for later."
As soon as I spoke, the two stopped bickering, their competitive spirits dampening instantly.
I turned my attention to Eric. "How long do you think it'll take to find out?"
Eric paused for a moment, thinking. "Under normal circumstances, about three days. But if we can get access to his domestic bank records, it should only take an afternoon."
Upon hearing this, I nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll go pay Jeremiah a visit."
