After John stared at Sophia for a moment, he decided against saying those things in his mind. He then went to work
after he finished his meal. However, he suddenly took a detour and headed toward the shadow bank instead of his
company.
The shadow bank was located in a sketchy area that was in the middle of an old residential area. It wasn’t a big
place and could be easily overlooked. The shadow bank was located in one of the factories here and there was
probably no one working right now at this point of time, since they would only 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 the door was locked
and no one was entering or leaving that place. He had managed to capture a few men that were working here
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpreviously and some of them revealed many of the illegal operations going on in the shadow bank after they failed
to withstand his interrogation. Most of the operations were about how to compound more interest so that the
loanee wouldn’t be able to clear their debts and had to give up their collaterals.
To be honest, this shadow bank’s loan amount wasn’t huge and couldn’t be compared to other loan sharks.
However, due to the strict management of the shadow bank, all of these people were terrified after 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 run away as they
were afraid of being pursued by those of the shadow bank. He couldn’t help but feel that things were funny as he
wondered who was behind the shadow bank that would terrify these men to this extent.
After observing for a long time and noticing that there weren’t any movements, John went back to the company.
Back at the office, he took out all his documents on the Baileys. There were too many documents of all sizes as
they did the investigations in detail. John went through everything and crossed out the irrelevant points while he
listed the rest separately. Doing this alone took him the entire morning. 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 lunch break. Noticing
that John was frowning while reading a document, he inched closer. However, he smacked his lips when he noticed
that it was about the Baileys. “The Baileys are really problematic. I mean, look at this, and this! They were even
exposed for evading taxes back then. Although they claimed that they had paid everything, do you really think that
they would have paid if they weren’t exposed? Also, look at this, they got complained by the netizens for selling
defective products. The Baileys really aren’t as nice as we thought.”
Then, Zack stared at those little notes. “However, what happened to the Baileys’ son was too bad. He was a smart
and nice student in the eyes of the lecturers and students in his school. No one would have expected him to end up
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike this. From that, we can tell that a certain family had been involved in too many wicked things.”
John stared at the notes before he pointed at one of them. “Look at this. It’s about the change of Bailey
Corporation’s insiders that you found. It’s abnormal that many of the high ranking elders had resigned from the
internal levels of the company without any reason during these past few years. Moreover, the Baileys have many
projects in different places, but according to their company’s profitability, they weren’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 many investments in
secret. Moreover, they wouldn’t be able to support their spendings just by solely relying on 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. He nodded,
looking astonished. “You’re right. I thought that the information that the man gathered wasn’t useful, but I now
realize that something is fishy.”
