Conrad’s expression changed drastically as he shouted, “What loan fraud?! I want to see your warrant!”
The middle-aged man pulled out a document with a red seal and handed it to Conrad, speaking indifferently, “Agricultural Bank’s Southeast Province branch has reported to us that you were involved in deliberately defrauding a ten-figure loan.”
Conrad’s eyes burned into the black and white document with a red seal. Its contents were no different from the words the middle-aged man said.
“Hasn’t the situation been solved already? The bank didn’t lose anything and the loan was never moved from the company’s account at all. Why are you only investigating this now? What were you doing then?”
“Are you implying that you wanted us to arrest you earlier?” The middle-aged man scoffed.
“Are you aware of the concept of investigation? Any simple case requires an in-depth investigation. We can only make a move once we have concrete evidence in hand, or we’d end up arresting someone innocent and letting the culprit go!
“Now that we’re here to arrest you, it means we have solid evidence!”
Conrad abruptly turned his head to stare at Jasper intently, roaring, “You’re behind this, aren’t you, Jasper?!”
“Now, now, watch your choice of words. You were the one who broke the law, so how can you blame me? Now these words come with consequences,” Jasper spoke calmly.
Conrad shot forward and slammed on the table in front of Jasper. With red eyes, the man shouted, having gone crazy due to anger.
“No one would’ve investigated this at all if you hadn’t done anything! Not when I didn’t cause a single cent’s loss! The loan was done with your company’s name, so how could they have traced it back to me?
“You were the one who did all this in secret! Admit it if you had the guts to do it!
“I would admit it if I were you, Jasper. At least then I’ll still look at you with respect. Otherwise, I’ll look down on you for the rest of my life even if I end up losing everything!”
Conrad’s words were strong as he drilled his eyes into Jasper, unwilling to miss out on any slight change in the other’s expression.
However, he was only disappointed in the end for there was not the slightest ripple in Jasper’s expression. There was not even a shine in his eyes as the man locked gazes with him expressionlessly.
“To be honest, Conrad, as far as I’m concerned, those two are idiots.”
Jasper pointed at Mitch and Zane as he spoke. He did not even wait for the two to explode over his insult before continuing, “Those two idiots can hardly amount to the threat you pose to me. You’re much smarter than the two of them.
“This opportunity you found, be it timing or point of attack, was perfect. If not for chance, I’d have lost much more than I have. At least from this ripple in Sena’s share prices, you’ve made me lose 500 million.”
Instead of elation, Conrad looked like he was in extreme pain when he heard Jasper’s words.
“But I lost two billion! All of it! Gone!”
“You did that to yourself,” Jasper spoke calmly.
“Not to mention that even now, you continue to set me up with words. But let’s be honest, do you think that’ll work on me?
“You’re right, the loan was signed under the company’s name. But you were the one who participated in the entire loan process and reviewed the follow-up procedures.”
