Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2402 - 1799: The Most Obvious Poisonous Scheme

Old John couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Zack; he would never in a million years have guessed that Zack was with the headquarters’ compliance department!

In "Green Sky" company, Zack was truly the second-in-command, and a person Old John absolutely trusted. He would consult Zack on many shady dealings.

Of course, those were all Old John’s own schemes for personal gain, involving matters related to the Deputy Executive Vice President of the Africa region. Old John was extremely cautious, handling everything personally. However, he had already decided to introduce his capable confidant to the Deputy Executive Vice President.

And yet this very person turned out to be... an "undercover agent"!

In that moment, Old John collapsed on the sofa, his heart both shattered and filled with fear.

The legend of the all-seeing, "mystical" compliance department had just now made him truly feel what fear was.

Jenny also looked at Zack in disbelief, this man who had shown her significant attentiveness had another side to him.

Thinking about it now, his enthusiasm towards her indeed had ulterior motives.

Jenny broke out in a cold sweat.

"Do you two really think we’re here to investigate you?" Lei Ying, sitting across from Jenny and Old John, gave a cold smile, "We don’t have the time for that!"

Lei Ying pointed at the person busy downloading videos, "We’re here to take away evidence."

Their private conversations and those contract documents were enough to cause significant trouble for Jenny and Old John.

Not to mention all the various evidence Zack had collected.

"We’re just here to inform you, get ready to be prosecuted." As Lei Ying spoke, he stood up, "We know you’re stubborn, intellectually strong, and won’t easily confess anything. We have no interest in forcing you. Following the formal process is more efficient for everyone. That way, the group won’t consider leniency or waive the charges on some issues. With the group’s legal team’s abilities, it’s inevitable that you’ll be in prison for a dozen years or so."

Jenny and Old John’s faces turned extremely ugly, yet they still said nothing.

Lei Ying didn’t seem to expect them to respond. Looking at Jenny, he continued easily, "After spending a dozen years in prison and coming out, Miss Jenny, your youthful years will be long gone. You’ll come out as someone disconnected from society, disliked by all — an old hag. Your parents might be dead by then, brothers and sisters will have consumed your money, then avoid you like a plague! As for lovers, they’ll have long since found a new romance!"

Jenny’s face turned ghastly pale, her breathing quickening.

Lei Ying speaking of prison didn’t scare her, but the description of life after prison was hard for her to accept.

"As for Old Mr. John, you will likely spend the rest of your days inside, waiting for death to release you. You have sons and grandsons too, but you won’t have the chance to enjoy familial happiness with them. In your first years inside, they might visit you for the sake of the inheritance you left behind. Later, when your grandsons grow up, they’ll see you as a disgrace. Your whole family will feel that forgetting someone like you is the best way to live. By then, even if you look forward, you won’t see a single relative. No matter how much money you made, all it’ll buy you in prison is a few packs of instant noodles."

Lei Ying’s words filled Old John’s eyes with fear.

It sounded like a scene from hell...

Beside him, Zack couldn’t help but look at Lei Ying with some secret amazement, with even a touch of reverence, "This man appears burly and rough, but he’s unexpectedly skilled in psychological tactics and language. He doesn’t use logic or emotions to sway them but instead hits their weak spots hard. Just listening to him gave me chills. What kind of work did he do before, to be so adept at breaking down people’s mental defenses!"

"I must learn from this!" Zack couldn’t help but silently repeat to himself.

Lei Ying continued to stand there, looming over them, giving off a pressuring presence—

"Ah, right. Are you thinking that if you endure this night, someone will cover up the mess for you, fix things in time?" Lei Ying showed a heavy smile, "Do you even know your position? To get you, how could there be no meticulous preparation? There are already two hundred people, split into twenty teams, conducting operations as we speak, waiting for you to fill the gaps. The moment they catch anything problematic, our people will claim the information came from you two. The people you serve, are they suspicious? If they think you’re traitors, will they save you with all efforts or put you to death?"

There was no two-hundred-man team; it was entirely a bluff from Lei Ying.

But to kill the heart, first hit the weaknesses, then block all retreats.

This was entirely forcing the two onto a dead end.

Jenny and Old John’s expressions were filled with a genuine fear.

Lei Ying seemed oblivious, continuing, "Are you thinking of sacrificing yourselves, hoping someone will give your family a big lump of money, enough to keep them wealthy, and even provide for you comfortably once you’re out? Forget it, we will pursue huge compensations against you, arrange for people to monitor your family’s and your own bank accounts, even overseas ones. We’ll request the relevant departments to freeze them and restrict your exits. By then, I’m afraid you and your family will only be able to eat air and drink wind, praying to fill your stomachs."

Zack, along with the others in the compliance department present, watched Lei Ying deliver the most horrifying words in the calmest voice, all feeling their hair standing on end, and a chill down their spines.
