Shadow Empire

Chapter 464 Double Kill
"I heard there's an Anderson restaurant in the Starlight District that's really good..."

Several people went out of the company, and one of them talked about a very reputable restaurant that he had just discovered recently.

Everyone has different hobbies, but most people are more interested in local cuisine.

Seeing their attitude of asking about himself, the commissioner had no opinion, "Let's go here."

He traveled back and forth across the Federation, and at first he enjoyed enjoying some delicious food, but as he visited more and more places, these external things gradually lost their appeal to him.

What he really likes and wants is power in the company!

Equity and the board of directors can bring him more satisfaction than delicious food.

Although he has passed the stage of pursuing gourmet food, who can resist delicious food?
The group drove two cars to Anderson's restaurant in the Starlight District.

With chef-owner Anderson taking a hands-off approach to restaurant operations, the manager has been able to bring his full management skills to bear.

The restaurant now has three branches in Jingang City, and they are planning to open a fourth one, which will be a very, very high-end one.

The positioning is to serve "successful people". Ordinary people can't get in at all. They must be well-known politicians and celebrities in Jingang City.

Or you have to be invited by someone to become a member and order food at the restaurant.

Anderson still cannot forget what the manager said:

“We want to make some people proud to dine in our restaurant!”

Isn’t this the highest realm a chef pursues in his life?
If people are proud to dine at the restaurant here, then it naturally also means that they are proud to enjoy the food made by old man Anderson!

He couldn't say no to this!
Anderson's first restaurant is now very popular because it is the only place where you can taste food cooked by Mr. Anderson himself.

The group arrived at the perfect time and the restaurant manager gave them a table.

At every meal time, the restaurant would leave two or three tables in case of emergency, just like now.

The Liji Group is well-known in the Federation, and the manager is willing to pay for a table for their huge fame and social status.

It has to be said that the old man Anderson has a bad temper, but his cooking skills are impeccable. The food he carefully cooked exudes an enticing aroma. Even the absent-minded commissioner begins to focus on the food under the temptation of the aroma.

At the dining table, they talked about future work directions, some public relations directions, and other things related to their work.

The food was soon finished without anyone noticing, and everyone was about 70% full.

The middle class is very refined in their lives and they read all kinds of books about life and health.

When books say that the middle class should eat until they are 70% to 80% full to be healthy, they will do that.

Eat more beef, more eggs, and drink more milk.

After the specialist settled the bill, everyone returned to the car with satisfaction, ready to return to the company to continue the unfinished work of the day.

I don’t know why, but when I was going back, I felt a little congested.

"The traffic in Jingang City is so bad that it's visibly bad. It's even more congested than Jinzhou!"

"I always thought the worst traffic was in the downtown area of ​​​​the District, but look here..."

The driver of the vehicle couldn't help but complain a few words.

The Golden State is indeed one of the most congested places in the federation, but it is only one of the most congested places in the federation.

The SAR is congested because there are too many celebrities and politicians in the SAR, and their nannies may drive a car when they go out.

The traffic in Jingang City is congested because there are many rich people and business people here. It is not uncommon for a company to have three to five cars, or even thirty to fifty cars.

When the car slowly reached the middle of the road with the flow of traffic, it suddenly stopped.

For some unknown reason, the commissioner seemed a little absent-minded and a little uneasy.

He had just taken out a pack of cigarettes and used his lighter to light one when his attention was drawn to the scene outside the window.

A large truck was heading towards his car at a very fast speed.

The cigarette in his mouth slipped quietly from his lips. He gradually raised his head and looked at the front of the truck that was already close at hand. He said the last words of his life -

"Fuck Fuck!"

He turned his head sharply and looked at the people in the car.

His life and time seemed to have been paused at this moment, no, it should be said that they were slowed down.

The driver was slapping the direction sign with both hands and complaining to his colleague in the passenger seat, tiny spit flying out of his open, slightly twisted mouth.

The colleague sitting in the passenger seat could only see his profile, with a flattering smile.

The colleague sitting next to him seemed to be in a daze. He did not participate in any conversation and was unaware of the danger.

A small piece of glass about the size of a soybean flew slowly from right to left in front of him. It kept spinning in the air, occasionally refracting some of the light coming through the car window into his eyes!

Then more glass started flying from right to left, and the expressions on my colleagues' faces changed rapidly and terrifiedly!
The next second, there was a loud bang, he shook violently, flew towards his colleagues, and lost consciousness at the same time!
The truck pushed the car's body straight into a house on the roadside. Just as the people around were still in shock, the second truck crashed into another car!
The commissioner's body kept twitching, he was vomiting blood, and his neck formed an exaggerated and twisted angle with his body.

There was a buzzing in my ears, and I could faintly hear a man cursing angrily.

In his mind, he recalled the model that the company's cleaning staff had taken away when he left, which he considered to be a form of intimidation.

It turns out that’s not a model!
It suddenly dawned on him that he didn't want to die.

All the past events flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. He recalled the first time he ruthlessly kicked out the "master" who taught him how to work in the company according to the company's rules and regulations.

He thought of the smiles people gave him when they faced him, and the curses and taunts they gave him when their backs were turned.

He thought of those people who called him a running dog and said that he would not have a good ending, and this moment!
Perhaps his fate was determined from the very beginning, he thought!
The strength in his body was dwindling, his eyelids were getting darker and darker, and he was gradually and completely swallowed by the darkness...

Soon the fire truck and police arrived at the scene and arrested the two truck drivers, who also cooperated very well.

The responding police officer knew at a glance that it was a murder case because the crash barriers of the two trucks had been modified.

It's like they were specially modified for collisions. To say that this was not intentional is an absolute disdain for their intelligence.

But whether it was intentional or not, they will handle it impartially.

Two cars were rescued and a total of nine people were found, six of whom had lost vital signs.

The situation for the remaining three people was not particularly good either, and they also faced various problems.

Several people in a car parked on the side of the road had been watching everything that happened. They were already here before the commissioner and his car arrived at the intersection.

After the scene was almost done, it carried the people inside away.

"…I heard a loud bang, and the car was pushed out by our truck and hit the corner of the wall!"

"One particularly interesting thing was that part of the wall of that house was broken apart, revealing the people in the house."

"He was cursing and his face was covered with wall dust..."

Lance listened carefully as Lawn talked about observing the execution of the car accident up close.

Their trucks were modified with two I-beams running through the entire vehicle.

The heavier the cargo in the car, the stronger the impact force will be when the speed increases!
Judging from Lawn's description, the people in the two cars basically died.

He nodded, "It's funny...", and paused, "Alan, go to the hospital and ask if the person is dead."

“If not…” He made a throat-slitting gesture, “then help them relieve their pain.”

Alan stood up and walked outside. Lance looked at the people in the room and said with a smile, "Then it depends on how they deal with it..."

After lunch, the general manager of Liji Group felt uneasy. He didn’t know why he had this feeling. Maybe it was because he stayed up late last night?

He couldn't sleep last night and suffered from insomnia.

After the commissioner and his team entered the company, some rumors spread inside the company that the board of directors was dissatisfied with the general manager's ability. It was very likely that the commissioner would stay and directly replace him and become the manager of a large branch.

In terms of power, this is actually an "advancement". The general manager of a regional branch must have more power than the specialist at the headquarters and can benefit from more business for himself.

He scoffed at these rumors. He asked someone to collect information about who was spreading these rumors and planned to teach these people a lesson while the commissioners left.

He had intended to take a nap after lunch, but for some reason, his heartbeat quickened.

He sat in the office, looking at the scenery outside the window, his mind blank.

Suddenly, the shrill ring of the telephone rang out, making him shiver.

After several seconds and the phone rang several times, he finally picked up the phone.

"General Manager, please go to the hospital immediately. The Commissioner and his team had a car accident on their way back from lunch. Two large trucks..."

At this moment, the general manager's blood pressure suddenly rose, and he had a strong tinnitus, which made him almost unable to hear the sound in the receiver!
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the hospital, but was faced with seven beds covered with white sheets.

"... there was some accidental collision between the two trucks, they lost control and then this tragedy happened."

The police officer was explaining the situation at the scene to him. According to the results of the on-site investigation, the two trucks were originally driving side by side.

But there were some collisions between them, which caused the two truck drivers to misjudge the situation and possibly step on the accelerator by mistake, eventually hitting the two cars parked in the middle of the intersection one after the other.

"So...you mean, my colleagues are also responsible?"

The officer shrugged, "They can wait until the red light ends before moving forward."

The general manager looked like he was about to laugh. After a while, he asked, "How are the two drivers?"

The policeman shook his head. “After a few collisions like that, even the truck driver would be in a very bad condition.”

"They tried to save him, but he couldn't be saved in the end."

Both the doctors and the police concealed the fact that the truck driver was almost dead. Even if they had not driven such a violent collision, they might not have lived for much longer, only a month or two.

The general manager took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. That familiar smell came back again!

He looked at the policeman, and the policeman looked at him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally he gave up the idea of ​​telling the policeman his "guess".

He had no evidence, and he didn't know whether these policemen were in cahoots with Lance and his gang. This city was far more dangerous than those Golden State directors had imagined!

He left two employees in the company to take care of the follow-up matters. After returning to the company, he called the vice president directly and said, "The working group sent by the headquarters had a car accident."

The vice president did not realize the seriousness of the matter at first. He jokingly said, "Did they catch you committing a job crime? Are you going to get rid of them?"

They have a good relationship privately, so the vice president would joke with him like this.

But the general manager said very seriously, "They just went out for lunch and encountered a car accident on their way back. Two trucks that were said to be loaded with goods hit the car they were riding in from the side, one after the other."

"Seven of the nine people have died, and two are still being rescued."

The receiver was so quiet that only some breathing sounds could be heard.

About a minute later, the vice president's somewhat out-of-tune voice said, "What the hell happened?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" His tone was still full of disbelief and mistrust.

The general manager reaffirmed, "I confirm."

"Fake!"

"God, why is this happening?!"

"too frightening!"

After he vented his emotions for a while, the general manager said, "Do you feel a familiar feeling?"

"Half a year ago, the headquarters also arranged for a specialist to come here."

The vice president was stunned for a moment, "You mean... this is man-made?"

"who is it?"

Without the need for the general manager to answer his question, he took the initiative to say the name -

"Lance Family?"

It seems that this is the only possibility.

The vice president calmed down a little and said, "I need to discuss this with others. Please pay attention to your own safety. I will inform you as soon as there is a result."

Soon the entire board of directors knew about this, which made all the directors furious!
Some people clamored to send Lance and all members of the Lance family to jail, while others said they wanted to let them know what the consequences would be for provoking the group company.

After everyone calmed down, the executive president asked some people to leave, and stayed behind with the vice president, the chairman of the board, and the director responsible for arranging the gunmen.

“I remember we didn’t seem to pay attention to this aspect last time…”, the chairman of the board was a little confused.

He knew about the last time the commissioner had a car accident, but no one had ever told him that it was related to the mafia.

If we had known these facts last time, the way we dealt with many problems would have changed.

The vice president whispered nearby, "His family is making a big fuss."

The chairman of the board slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now."

At that time, the specialist's family made a big fuss, insisting that it was an accident that happened at work and demanded appropriate compensation from the company.

How can this be?

They also filed a lawsuit with the family of the deceased, using various means to prove that the car accident happened after get off work and that there was no overtime.

This means that the company does not need to pay any compensation for the commissioner's death in the line of duty.

However, out of humanitarianism, the company's board of directors arranged for a special person to give 200 yuan to the family of the deceased, as a kind of consolation?
At that time, their attention was focused on the lawsuit with the family of the deceased, rather than on "who caused the car accident", and they missed the opportunity to go deeper into the matter.

And at that time, they didn't think that anyone would dare to murder a commissioner of a group company so openly!
But now, they know.

There are indeed people who dare to do this.

The office was silent for a moment, and then someone asked, "So what are we going to do about this?"

"Do you want to... forget it?"

The chairman of the board immediately shook his head, "Forget it?"

"This is four million, and we are sure that it was this Garden Trading Company that used some shady means to force us to face the situation of breach of contract and pay liquidated damages."

"This is blatant extortion and contract fraud. There is no way we can pay this money!"

"If you think it's OK, then you pay the money and I'll agree it's OK."

"Otherwise, let's continue."

The vice president lowered his voice and asked, "But... they are not easy to deal with. What if we fail?"

The president sat aside and thought for a long time before saying, “If we fail, we will consider the failure.”

"Mr. Chairman, you have made it very clear. Someone is trying to blackmail us for $4 million. If we give in, many people will try to blackmail us next time."

"Don't give them that chance, gentlemen!"

The executive president and the chairman of the board had the same idea, so the vice president naturally stopped interfering and kept silent.

The director in charge of this matter also remained silent.

"That's it for now. Call the person you found and ask them to take action as soon as possible. I urgently want to see the names of the Lance family and Lance White in the newspaper!"
