Chapter 278: Chapter 276: 276 Interrogation_1

“`

“Tell me, where is the money now?”

“What money? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I warn you, I’m with Thousand Doors; if you dare to touch me, just wait for Thousand Doors’ retaliation.”

In a room at the Wang’s Clubhouse.

Max Milton was as defiant as ever.

Next to him, Cole Barnett was crying like a child, pleading non-stop, “I’m really just hired by him. He promised me a hundred thousand after the job, so I acted along with him.

I really don’t know where the money is, please just let me go.”

Greg Jensen turned his head to look at Theo Carter and said, “Is this all you’ve got?”

Theo Carter scratched his head, awkwardly saying, “If you asked my dad to chop someone, they would definitely be professional, but when it comes to extracting a confession…”

Greg Jensen sighed and said, “Forget it, I’ll do it myself.”

He stood up, walked over to Max Milton, kicked him over, pulled out a silver needle, and directly stabbed it into a certain acupoint.

“Ahh…”

Max Milton let out a piercing scream and started rolling on the ground in agony.

Cole Barnett, frightened by the scene, stopped crying and quickly crawled to the side, sitting in a corner and shivering as he watched Max Milton thrashing around like a madman.

Max Milton was full of regret; after deceiving people for money, he should have vanished into obscurity, fleeing far away.

He thought Adrian Wright was an easy mark, so he decided to swing by Jamae City for another round of swindling.

He had not expected that his proud techniques would be seen through within minutes.

Now, he felt as if his entire body was unbearably itchy, like there were ten thousand ants gnawing beneath his skin.

Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.

“You… just kill me!”

“Kill you? Where do we find the seven million then?”

Adrian Wright stepped forward and kicked him, furious, “Aiden Clark, to think you’d dare to scam me. Speak, where have you hidden the money?”

After what felt like an eternity, Max Milton could no longer bear it and said faintly, “I’ll tell… I’ll tell…”

Greg Jensen stepped forward, pulled out the silver needle, and said indifferently, “Speak. Once we find the money, I will naturally let you go.”

“The money is all stored in a safety deposit box at Jamae Bank.”

“A safety deposit box at Jamae Bank?”

Greg Jensen couldn’t help but feel surprised; with so much money, it should have been directly deposited in a bank or kept in a safe place.

Why would Max Milton bring the money to Jamae?

Max Milton caught his breath, lifted his head, and saw the silver needle in Greg Jensen’s hand, gleaming with a cold light.

He couldn’t help but shudder and quickly said, “We at Thousand Doors find it hard to trust others.

With so much money that couldn’t be laundered immediately, I decided to carry it with me.”

Greg Jensen had a moment of realization and continued to ask, “Not a penny spent?”

“No, I had some savings before, so I haven’t touched that money.”

“Hmm.”

Greg Jensen’s face brightened with a smile and said, “Hand over the key and combination to the safe deposit box then. Once we get the money, you both can leave.”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true.”

Greg Jensen smiled and said to Adrian Wright, “Serve them well, it’s not easy being away from home.”

After finishing his words, he gave Max Milton another look and walked out.

Seeing this, Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley hurriedly followed him outside.

Greg Jensen stopped and said, “Adrian, go get the money. After you get it, send them straight to the patrol bureau.”

“I understand,” Adrian Wright said, his face revealing a cold smile, “Aiden Clark, you thought you could scam my money and walk away like nothing happened? What were you thinking?”

“`

Greg Jensen smiled and said no more.

Although he had been deceived, fortunately, the money could still be recovered, and there was no major problem.

However, in future business dealings, he would have to keep a closer watch, as Adrian Wright was proven to be unreliable.

Nevertheless, while he knew Adrian Wright was somewhat unreliable, he had forgotten that Spencer Burley was even less dependable.

They had agreed that Burley was supposed to keep an eye on the two swindlers, but by the time Adrian Wright returned with the money, Max Milton had already run away.

“Where is he? Weren’t you supposed to watch them?” Adrian Wright said angrily.

Spencer Burley was somewhat embarrassed as he replied, “I locked the door and went to the cafeteria to eat. Who knew they would be able to pick the lock?”

Greg Jensen said, “Well, if he’s gone, he’s gone. After all, we’ve got our money back.”

Adrian Wright gave Spencer Burley an annoyed look and then said, “I’ve already deposited the money into the bank, I’ll transfer it to you in a bit.”

“Mm.”

Greg Jensen nodded and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Spencer Burley took out a piece of paper and said, “Oh, right, Greg. When they left, they also left a note in the room.”

Greg Jensen took it and read the few words written on it: “Max Milton of Thousand Doors sends his regards, looking forward to our next meeting.”

Theo Carter leaned over to look and immediately became furious, exclaiming, “Aiden Clark, such arrogance from a swindler.

I’ll make my dad send people after them, even if we have to turn Jamae City upside down, we will catch those two.”

Greg Jensen smiled and shook his head, saying, “Forget it, they’re just two swindlers, not worth the trouble. It’s fine as long as we’ve retrieved our money.”

The Lin family was his primary target, so he didn’t take those two swindlers to heart at all.

As he left the Wright Clubhouse, he saw his assistant standing in front of the H6 waiting.

“Boss!”

Having not seen him for several days, Trey Holmes was still as cold as ever, but she took the initiative to come forward and open the car door for Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen nodded and sat in the back seat.

Trey Holmes took her place in the driver’s seat, buckled the safety belt, and then looked back to ask, “Boss, where to?”

“Home.”

“Alright.”

Trey Holmes slowly started the car and while driving, said, “Miss Locke has called twice, asking when you’ll return. I told her you were on a business trip and the timing was uncertain.”

Jophia Locke?

Greg Jensen asked, “Did she say anything else?”

“Nothing important, just that you should call her after you get back.”

Greg Jensen nodded and asked, “Hmm, did anyone else call?”

Trey Holmes pondered briefly and said, “Yes, Miss Cooper calls twice every day.”

“Mm.”

After thinking for a moment, Greg Jensen made a call to Vince Cooper.

As soon as Vince Cooper answered, her excited voice trembled, “Mr. Jensen, have you returned?”

“Mm, sorry to have worried you,” Greg Jensen said with a smile.

Vince Cooper breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “It’s fine, as long as you’re safe.”

Feeling a warmth in his heart, Greg Jensen replied with a smile, “Nothing’s happened on your end, right?”

“No, but… Angela Stuart still hasn’t returned.”

“Hmm, Angela Stuart won’t be returning to school for a while. She’s had some trouble, and I gave her some money; she might take a year off.”

Vince Cooper quickly inquired, “Is she alright?”

“She’s fine,” Greg Jensen said.

Relieved, Vince Cooper laughed, “That’s good to hear. Will you be returning to Wanhe Estate tonight?”
