Shadow Empire

Chapter 318 Heartache [666+6]
Barbara is very beautiful, probably because of her Lawrence family bloodline. In short, even if these young people are not so handsome or youthful and beautiful, they are very standard ordinary people, and few of them are ugly.

She was obviously the most beautiful one in the family. God had favored her so much that she did not inherit her father's belly, but instead inherited her mother's appearance when she was young.

In addition, she has a very good temperament, the kind of temperament unique to middle-class families, so she is very popular with the opposite sex in the company.

Everyone wants to talk to her a few more words.

When she walked over and asked this question, the worried expression on the manager's face eased a little, but only a little.

“I can’t contact the ministers.”

Barbara didn't react at first, "Maybe he's on a business trip... Did you say 'they'?"

The manager nodded.

It was not yet half past nine, the business hours, and the company's door was still closed, with only employees inside.

Apparently Barbara's manager wasn't the only one who knew about this; many other people knew about it, too, and they were all discussing it.

Barbara inexplicably felt as if her heart was being grasped by an invisible big hand, making her heartbeat become abnormal!
She covered her chest and looked at the manager, "Could it be that... they played too late and fell asleep?"

She heard that several girls from the company attended the wild party last night.

The internal statement was that they were celebrating a new victory and had invited some people to attend.

Those girls don't care anymore in order to curry favor with the company's top management!
The financial circle is not clean. If Barbara did not have a good family background, she would not have sold her body for money. She might have participated in it.

The hypothesis she proposed was valid, and the manager did not rush to deny it. "I sent someone to check the villa, and there should be news back soon."

All the business of Balz Investment Bank requires the signatures of these managements, so the business cannot be carried out without them. Only then did they realize that they could not contact the managements at all.

In fact, they already had some premonitions in their hearts, but they were just unwilling to believe it.

Barbara was getting a little impatient. She had just borrowed 60,000 yuan to invest in it. Although the interest rate was not low, it was still a little worse than the monthly rebates brought by purchasing these products.

She sat on the sofa next to her, holding onto the wall. She felt her whole body trembling slightly.

A young man noticed her situation and came over to ask if she needed help, but her attention was not at all here at the moment!
About ten minutes later, two company employees strode in from the side door. They looked horrified. “We went to their villa, but didn’t see anyone. All the valuables were taken away!”

Suddenly, the whole hall was in chaos!

Barbara, who had been unable to stand just now, felt a surge of strength in her body that allowed her to stand up. Several managers immediately ran over, and after confirming this matter again and again, they all fell into a state of confusion.

Suddenly someone asked, "Is the money still in the bank?"

Yes!

If the money in the bank is still there, then these people are missing, and it also means that their disappearance has nothing to do with running away.

In fact, there are many people here who know that this is a scam, but they always think that they are also employees of the company and they will not lose money.

Until this moment!
A manager immediately contacted Jingang Bank, and they soon received feedback from Jingang Bank that the company currently had about 400,000 yuan in cash in its account.

However, part of the 400,000 yuan in cash can be used, and the other part has been temporarily frozen to prepare for paying various bills.

Barbara felt a black screen in front of her eyes in an instant, and she felt a little shaky, and sat back on the sofa.

The company suddenly became chaotic, she felt her mouth dry and her heartbeat started to get erratic!

Their family had already invested one hundred thousand, but they reinvested the rebate money, plus the sixty thousand she borrowed herself!
She rushed out of the street and squeezed into a phone booth. She used her last bit of strength to dial her father's number. "The company's top executives took the money and ran away!"

By the end she was already crying. Her father was stunned for a long time after hearing the news. One hundred thousand yuan, half a life savings, was spent on this!

He was also so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, but considering his daughter's condition, he could only ask Barbara to protect herself first, and he would drive over immediately.

After he hung up the phone, he called William and said, "You're right, they ran away!"

"Who ran away?" William was riding on Emily. "I have something important to do. If you have nothing else to say, we can talk later!"

"Balz Investment Bank, they ran away!"

The call was hung up. William, who was naked, stood beside the phone and looked at Emily who was hooking her finger at him. His mind went blank for a moment!
"What are you daydreaming about? Come here, you haven't made me happy yet!"

William put down the phone, hesitantly said, "Balz Investment Bank has run away."

Emily didn't care about all these things. She walked over, put her arms around William's shoulders, and wrapped her legs around him, "Hold me tight..." William cursed, "Fuck!", and then started to push again.

Ten minutes later, the battle was finally over. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have to go check it out..."

Emily nodded contentedly, "Will you come back for lunch?"

"Probably not..."

"Then you can go!"

A little after nine o'clock, a large number of people had gathered outside the Balz Investment Bank. The news spread too fast!

In less than twenty minutes, the news had spread completely!
Those who had previously been jealous of others making huge profits because they had no money to invest now showed a gloating smile.

People are like this. What they hate most in their life is always that others make money while they don’t!
The happiest thing is similar, that is, others lose money, but you don’t!
Although there is no sense of participation, at least being unhappy is better than being in pain!
A lot of police officers also came, fearing that some problems might arise. A large number of newspaper reporters also appeared here. Those investors angrily threw stones at the Balz Investment Bank to vent their dissatisfaction, while shouting slogans such as "Give me back the money".

Tens of thousands of people and eight-digit funds were taken away. This incident had a huge impact on Jingang City!

The police department continued to dispatch personnel to prevent the situation from escalating.

Barbara was already with her father, and she too was speechless with pain.

The whole person was in a daze, and William was also here.

"Fortunately you convinced me, William. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine the consequences!"

Although one hundred thousand yuan is gone, for a family like theirs, it is not the end of hope.

Even if they only have tens of thousands left, they still live better than most families in this city.

Barbara kept wiping away tears. She felt that she was the one who caused her family to lose so much money. What was even more troublesome was that other people in the family also invested money at her call!

She had no idea what to do. She didn't even dare tell her father that she had borrowed another 60,000 yuan.

William nodded and consoled her, "For such a big thing, the City Hall must have a way to deal with it, and didn't Barbara say that they have a lot of investment assets?"

"If these assets are real, they can also make up for some of the losses."

But at this moment, the two middle-aged men knew very well that those assets were probably fake.

This was a complete scam. They had a hunch about it, but they still fell into it.

All we can say is that desire and greed have blinded people's eyes and made them turn a blind eye to the dangers!
After ten o'clock, more and more investors from all over finally rushed into the company and began to loot, and the police did not stop them.

But even if they could take away everything, it might not be enough to make up for their losses. Some staff members who did not have time to leave were beaten up by angry investors!

But beating people up will not help with losses. Some people really invested all their money, and some people borrowed money, or even invested money at high interest rates with low interest rates!
Now that Balz Investment Bank has run away, it is absolutely a devastating blow to them!

If there is no way to help them recover their losses, there is a high probability that someone will jump off the building!
The entire Jingang City and even the entire state began to pay attention to this matter. I don’t know if it was guided by someone, but when someone shouted the slogan "Ask the mayor to help us", the angry crowd who had smashed the lobby of Balz Investment Bank headed towards the City Hall!

The news was quickly reported to the city hall. The mayor listened to the secretary's report with his eyes closed and rubbing his temples.

After the secretary finished his report, he slowly opened his eyes, "Look, struggle is everywhere!"

The secretary lowered his head slightly to show that he was listening. This was actually a rare "teaching" and a valuable experience!

"Half of this city hall is full of Wade and Williams people, and I haven't even heard about this. Someone cut off the source of information and left us stranded here."

"If it were you, what would you do?" he asked his secretary.

The secretary frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slowly and said, "There's nothing we can do. It's obvious that these people have already taken the money and left."

"I am more worried about whether there are other issues behind this, such as whether they will also join in?"

"Otherwise it would be difficult to transfer such a large amount of money so quickly and quietly. If this is the case, then they are too despicable!"

"But I can't think of any way to make them rational and calm. I think it's very likely that they won't get their money back!"

The mayor agreed with his judgment, "Yes, they can't get the money back, and this is the trouble they left for me!"

He didn't even know that such a staggering amount of fraud had occurred in the city under his jurisdiction.

What will others think?
What will the citizens think?
What would the representatives of the Socialist Party at all levels think?
These people deserve to die!
