Chapter 958
The middle–aged tax officer’s party looked at each other in dismay. Although they had no clue what
was going on, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Even Damian remained tight–lipped at this moment.
Sean was puzzled by this. He glanced at Damian, almost questioning him with his eyes.
However, Damian was merely slightly wringing his hands. He was at a loss as well and had no idea
what Colton was up to.
Damian simply just happened to hear that some guys from River City’s staff administration and tax
department were coming to investigate the Lennon Group today.‘
As for Colton, he quickly brought Damian along.
Damian did not know the reason and did not have the guts to ask what Colton wanted to do.
“I heard someone saying that things will usually go their way in River City.
“Who was the person who said this? Was it you?”
Colton slowly turned his head and looked at the middle–aged man.
“Mr. Freeman, I… I’d never. I was simply talking babbling nonsense…”
The sweat on the middle–aged man’s forehead kept gushing out, and his heartbeat continued to
accelerate.
“How could you blurt out blatant nonsense as a public official?
“You surely are a brave one.”
Colton’s voice was not loud, but his stern tone was making the middle–aged man’s legs go
weak.
If one were to offend Colton, even his immediate superior would lose their job, not to mention a smallnovelbin
fry like him!
“I was wrong, Mr. Freeman! I’ll surely correct my mistakes!”
The middle–aged man wiped away his sweat with his sleeves and nodded like a chicken.
He no longer had that trace of arrogance on his face that he showed when facing Sean.
before.
At this time, his attitude was extremely meek, and even his words were cautious.
“I’m merely giving you a warning for now.”
Colton glared at the middle–aged man, but did not pursue it further.
After all, he did not come all the way to River City to deal with these trivial matters.
“Yes. Yes, of course…”
The middle–aged man felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and wiped the sweat from his forehead
again.
As for Colton, he did not continue to say anything else.
After half a minute, Colton frowned and looked at the middle–aged man.
“Are you people planning to stay the night here?”
With that tone, Colton was clearly insinuating for them to leave!
It was just that these middle–aged people were stuck in between the decision of fleeing, and not
fleeing. They felt uncertain in their hearts.
Their task was to bring Sean back to the government office.
However, it seemed like Colton was protecting Sean right now.
This placed them in a difficult situation.
“This is my name card.
“Tell your superior to give me a call and I’ll talk to him.”
Colton took out a business card and handed it over.
“Okay! Alright!”
At this point, the middle–aged personnel no longer tried to stick around. They quickly took the business
card and left the building.
When Sean and Damian saw this, they finally realized that Colton seemed to be here to help Sean out.
Otherwise, Sean would have been taken away by now.
“Thank you, Mr. Freeman.”
Thinking of this, Sean raised his hand slightly and thanked Colton.
“There’s no need to thank me.
“I’m just here following orders as well.”
Colton took a few glances around the office, and then he was about to leave with Damian.
Sean did not try to urge him to stay.
He knew very well that when dealing with people of this level, it was better to get straight to the point.
By beating around the bush, it would make the other part feel displeased.
Damian shot Sean a complicated look and quickly followed Colton from behind.
“You may continue to operate your company as normal.
“As long as you don’t break the law, you’ll be fine.”
Colton said before leaving.
While Sean was still pondering over his words, Colton had already left with his men.
“Let’s get back to work.”
Sean spoke to the employees and then walked back into his office.
Zander and Harry immediately followed suit.
As soon as Zander entered the office, he closed the door immediately and asked Sean curiously.
“Who’s that Colton Freeman, Commander? Do you know him?”
“No.”
Sean shook his head slightly and sat on his chair.
He was also curious about Colton’s identity.
He was sure that he had no interaction with Colton before.
Yet tonight, Colton had helped him out of that predicament, and also showed his identity in Souz River.
It made Sean feel incredibly wary.
“If you don’t know him, why’d he help us?
“Could it be one of Jen–Bond Holdings‘ tricks again?”
Zander frowned. He thought it was completely possible that Jen–Bond Holdings had deliberately
arranged such a play.
They were playing good cop, bad cop, putting extra pressure on Sean.
Sean pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head slightly.
He had the same speculation in the beginning.
However, after much consideration, Jen–Bond Holdings did not need to do such a thing at all.
With James‘ arrogance, he would not go through so much trouble just to trick Sean.
“Commander, do I still need to take a trip to the Souz River?”
Harry stepped forward and asked Sean.
?
“Not for the time being.”
Sean recalled the words Colton said before he left.
If Sean was not wrong, there could be someone back in Souz River who wanted to give. him a hand.
It was just that at this moment, the person had not completely revealed himself.
If that was the case, there was no need for Sean to take the initiative to reveal his identity.
He still wondered why the other party was trying to help him.
This was not necessarily considered a good thing for Sean.
“Yes, Commander!”
Harry responded while Zander heaved a slow sigh of relief.
He was not supportive of Sean doing this from the start.
“Let’s wait.
“Something else is about to unfold regarding this matter.”
Sean reached out and flicked the Newton’s cradle, looking out the floor–to–ceiling window.
At this time.
Jen–Bond Holdings River City Branch.
With the help of strong financial resources, it was naturally not difficult to establish a new branch.
From the site selection to its grand opening, the entire process took less than two days.
Moreover, the Jen–Bond Holdings‘ headquarters also sent a lot of their elites to James.
This time around, they definitely had to set up the Jen–Bond Holdings banner in River City.
“Mr. Thomson, why’d you ask me to come over so late? Something wrong?”
Jon walked into James‘ office and asked respectfully.
Bam!
James closed the document in his hand and threw it on the table.
“Evidence.”
The corner of James‘ mouth was raised.
“Evidence? What evidence?”
Jon was stunned when he heard this, feeling a little puzzled.
“Evidence that can thoroughly destroy Sean Lennon.”
James lit a cigar with a proud look on his face.
