Chapter 733

Lacey hurriedly explained, “We have been framed and have filed a police report accordingly.”

Shawn snorted, “No, you are not. We will know the truth after the investigation.”

Then, he ordered the bodyguard, “Take them away.”

Feeling helpless, Lacey clutched tightly onto Zeke’s arms.

“Zeke, what should we do?”

He patted her shoulders and soothed her, “Don’t worry, Lacey. We’ve done nothing wrong. I’m right here so things are going to be alright.”

He regarded Shawn coldly, “It’s indeed true that money could make the Devil turn milestones. Even Mr.

Badley, the director of the Bank Regulatory Bureau is a slave to money as well.”

“This is preposterous and outright defamation! I reserve the right to sue you!” Shawn was infuriated at Zeke’s remarks.

“You’d better cooperate. Or else I’m going to file for enforcement, and the three of you will face yet another charge!”

“Defamation? You’re the one slandering us for illegal smuggling. It looks like you are oblivious to your own mistakes.” Zeke replied.

“Slander? Are you saying you did not carry out any smuggling activities?” Shawn sneered at him.

“That’s right.” Zeke nodded.

Shawn took out a tablet. “Alright, I’ll let you see the evidence.”

After some time, he handed over the tablet to Zeke, “Go on and have a look. You’d better see for yourself if we have slandered you in any way. The evidence is imminent. An overseas smuggling ring just wired 1.5 billion to your account!”

“Why would they wire you any money if they have no dealing with you in the first place?”

Lacey wanted to explain but Zeke stopped her, “Lacey, Mr. Badley here may be illiterate. Why don’t you read out the origin of the transaction to him?”

Lacey was stumped. How could Badley be illiterate?

Why is he asking me to read things aloud?

Nevertheless, she took over the tablet from Zeke.

She was stupefied after taking a glance at it.

Is Badley really illiterate?

The transaction record clearly showed that the money was from Paul Venture Capitalist.

This was a world-renowned company and most importantly, it is legit.

One would never relate it to any smuggling activities.

By the way, why did Paul Venture Capitalist transfer 1.5 billion to our company?

Linton Group has no dealings with them at all.

To be precise, Linton Group was not qualified to have any dealings with them.

Zeke urged Lacey when he saw that she was still in a daze, “Lacey, snap out of it. Why don’t you read the words aloud for Mr. Badley here?”

At this point, Lacey had nothing to be afraid of, “Paul Venture Capitalist from Australia. I recall that I’ve entrusted some money to them a few years back. 1.5 billion is the total for my capital plus the interest.”

“That’s nonsense!” Henry spurted as he took over the tablet, “I think you’re the illiterate here. It’s clearly written here that...”

“What on fu*k? What happened? It’s really from Paul Venture Capitalist!”

“How can it be? That’s impossible!” Shawn snatched the tablet from Henry’s hands and his face went pale instantly.

What the hell?

They’ve verified before coming here, and it was clearly shown in the system that the money came from a smuggler overseas.

How did it become Paul Venture Capitalist all of a sudden?

Did I see it wrong?

But it couldn’t be that so many people saw it wrong at the same time.

There was only one explanation then. Zeke Williams controls both Paul Venture Capitalist and the smuggling ring at the same time...

How powerful is this guy to be able to pull something like this off?

If that’s the case, I’m not even worthy enough to carry his shoes
