After John stared at Sophia for a moment, he decided against saying those things in his mind. He thenwent to work after he finished his meal. However, he suddenly took a detour and headed toward theshadow bank instead of his company.
The shadow bank was located in a sketchy area that was in the middle of an old residential area. Itwasn’t a big place and could be easily overlooked. The shadow bank was located in one of thefactories here and there was probably no one working right now at this point of time, since they wouldonly start their operation during the afternoon, according to what Husky told him.
John stopped his car by a side and stared in the shadow bank’s direction before he noticed that thedoor was locked and no one was entering or leaving that place. He had managed to capture a few menthat were working here previously and some of them revealed many of the illegal operations going onin the shadow bank after they failed to withstand his interrogation. Most of the operations were abouthow to compound more interest so that the loanee wouldn’t be able to clear their debts and had to giveup their collaterals.
To be honest, this shadow bank’s loan amount wasn’t huge and couldn’t be compared to other loansharks. However, due to the strict management of the shadow bank, all of these people were terrifiedafter they revealed it’s inner operations.
John did release a few men after managing to force information out of them, but all of them had runaway as they were afraid of being pursued by those of the shadow bank. He couldn’t help but feel thatthings were funny as he wondered who was behind the shadow bank that would terrify these men tothis extent. novelbin
After observing for a long time and noticing that there weren’t any movements, John went back to thecompany. Back at the office, he took out all his documents on the Baileys. There were too manydocuments of all sizes as they did the investigations in detail. John went through everything andcrossed out the irrelevant points while he listed the rest separately. Doing this alone took him the entiremorning. In the end, he got dizzy staring at all these documents.
Zack thought about John as he passed by his office when he wanted to go out for lunch during lunchbreak. Noticing that John was frowning while reading a document, he inched closer. However, hesmacked his lips when he noticed that it was about the Baileys. “The Baileys are really problematic. Imean, look at this, and this! They were even exposed for evading taxes back then. Although theyclaimed that they had paid everything, do you really think that they would have paid if they weren’texposed? Also, look at this, they got complained by the netizens for selling defective products. TheBaileys really aren’t as nice as we thought.”
John nodded. “Many fishy things happen in large family conglomerates.”
John nodded. “Many fishy things happen in large family conglomerates.”
Then, Zack stared at those little notes. “However, what happened to the Baileys’ son was too bad. Hewas a smart and nice student in the eyes of the lecturers and students in his school. No one wouldhave expected him to end up like this. From that, we can tell that a certain family had been involved intoo many wicked things.”
John stared at the notes before he pointed at one of them. “Look at this. It’s about the change of BaileyCorporation’s insiders that you found. It’s abnormal that many of the high ranking elders had resignedfrom the internal levels of the company without any reason during these past few years. Moreover, theBaileys have many projects in different places, but according to their company’s profitability, theyweren’t supposed to be able to get so much funds.”
Even John himself didn’t know that the Baileys were involved in so many fields and made so manyinvestments in secret. Moreover, they wouldn’t be able to support their spendings just by solely relyingon Bailey Corporation’s income.
Zack had never noticed this in the past, but he started looking at it in detail after John pointed it out. Henodded, looking astonished. “You’re right. I thought that the information that the man gathered wasn’tuseful, but I now realize that something is fishy.”
