Chapter 555 We All Got Played

• A fiasco threatening both the branch office and headquarters twisted on a dime, turning into an open call-out of a crime scene. Voices buzzed nonstop. Everyone was slamming this “vampire,” furious their hard work had been sucked dry for nothing. The other execs huddled off to the side and kept their mouths shut, terrified the blaze would lick over and burn them, too.
• “Mr. Hendrik, how do you want to deal with these two?” Zachary checked the time. He figured Cao Yingsheng must’ve gotten the news by now and didn’t want to drag this out, so he asked in a low voice. “Cao Yingsheng will never reveal his real identity. Don’t forget, he still has that efficient fixer, Yao Ke, working under him.”
• Even now, Hendrik’s face didn’t twitch. In truth, the moment he heard a man had jumped, he knew this wasn’t simple. The branch hasn’t just started falling apart today. And yet the guy chose to jump on the very day Hendrik arrived in Lumonburg. Say it wasn’t staged? No one would buy that. Worse, what kind of dead-set-on-dying person hooks his foot in the gap of the railing? What, scared he wouldn’t fall fast enough, wouldn’t shatter into dust? Obviously, somebody forced him up there. And the one pulling the strings—just a few probing lines from Zachary were enough to tease him out. Next, all they had to do was watch and wait for Cao Yingsheng’s next move.
