Shadow Empire

Chapter 469 I Have Worked Hard for the Company [666+16 (supplement)]
In the morning, the vice president strode outside Steven Johnson's office, and his secretary quickly stood up.

"Mr. Vice President..."

The vice president pushed open the office door as if he didn't see the secretary. The lights inside were on and coffee was brewed in the living area.

Newspapers and breakfast are on the table, but no one is using them now.

It was only at this moment that he seemed to notice that there was a blonde girl behind him.

He turned and looked at Steven's secretary, "Steven, he's not here?"

The secretary forced a smile a little awkwardly, "Yes, Director Johnson hasn't arrived yet. Do you want me to call him?"

The vice president nodded and said, "Call now."

The secretary returned to the desk outside the door, picked up the phone, and dialed Steven's home.

He lived alone, was married, but divorced.

On the surface, he had lost contact with his wife and children, but some senior executives on the board were aware of this.

About a third of his income was deposited into an anonymous account, from which money was withdrawn and transferred in another state.

His ex-wife and children live there.

In order to protect his family, he chose to divorce.

So now Steven lives by himself and has a few dogs. Among the photo frames on his desk, there is a photo of him and his three dogs.

Fierce, large breed, these dogs can take on a wild boar, according to Steven himself!
The call was connected, but no one answered. The secretary glanced at the vice president, who said nothing, so she could only let the phone continue ringing.

In Steven's villa, several dogs were circling around the living room anxiously. Their owner had not come back all night yesterday, and they were hungry!
Two minutes later, the secretary held the receiver with both hands and looked at the vice president. "I can't get through. No one answered. Maybe he's on his way?"

The vice president stood there in a daze for a while, then tapped his fingers on the secretary's desk twice, "When he arrives, ask him to come to my office."

The CEO contacted a chief justice to discuss the lawsuit, and the company also sent a new legal team to Jingang City.

They have to continue to keep an eye on this case. After all, the huge amount of liquidated damages hurts them a lot!
There were also some less friendly voices within the board of directors. These people believed that if they had directly fulfilled the contract for Jingang City’s grape order last time, they would have made the same profit and would not have caused so much trouble!
The result was that they did not make more money by tearing up the agreement. The bonds were handed over to the bank by Lance and others, and they still paid the money to Parkson Bank according to the market settlement price.

They didn't get any benefits, and the Lance family didn't get any benefits either. A successful investment behavior turned into not so successful. It can be said that they were "both losers"!
This led to what is clearly a retaliatory commercial extortion this time. If they had not done those things before, there would not be the current problems.

It is not surprising to have such voices on the board; it is the result of private communication between directors and shareholders.

They want to use this method to force the directors and shareholders who made the decision to bear the losses.

Or bear most of the losses, such as the chairman of the board, the CEO, the vice president and other people who play important roles, bearing three million or even more of the four million.

Others bear a smaller portion.

They no longer have much hope of winning the lawsuit, so reducing their losses is the most important thing they should do now.

The president intends to teach these people a lesson, and Steven is good at this!
But what made the vice president unhappy was that Steven was late!
He returned to the office. His secretary was signing for some mail and packages. When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Vice President, here are some of your things..."

The vice president didn't bother to look at these. "Bring them in."

As he spoke, he walked to his desk and sat down, picked up the phone, called the president through the internal line, and talked about work matters.

When people are not so focused on one thing, they will find something else to do.

It's like... reading a book while taking a shit, and when he's on the phone, he'll also do some little movements.

While talking to the president on the phone, he picked up a few emails on the table and started reading.

Apart from some letters from local agricultural committees condemning them, there was basically nothing else.

He will forward such letters to the public relations team to handle, and of course this is also within his job scope.

Soon his eyes focused on the box that looked to be the size of a basketball.

"…I mean, if, if these people want to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss this matter, it will become very passive for us."

“We need to solve…”

The president's words rang in his ears through the receiver, and he gradually became absent-minded.

He took a look at the package. There was no obvious logo on it, only a note, "This is a package for the Vice President...Mr., from your follower!" Steven's package?

What's inside?
He propped the receiver with his shoulder, held the package with both hands and shook it. There seemed to be something making a banging sound inside, but the weight was unclear.

"Okay, I have other things to do. Please take care of the things I asked you to do first, and we will discuss the rest later." The president made the final summary of the phone call.

The vice president stopped what he was doing and said, "Okay, when Steven comes, I'll make sure he goes to work. I promise there won't be any accidents this time. We'll talk later."

He hung up the phone, then picked up a pair of scissors, cut the ties on top, and opened the lid.

Inside was some... white filling, some was pink. He didn't quite understand it, so he reached in and touched it, because he had just heard that there was something inside.

Then he touched something that might be rubber. It was cold and had a gummy feel. He took it out.

Almost at the moment when the thing revealed its original appearance from the filling, he suddenly cursed "Fuck", threw back the thing in his hand, jumped up as if frightened, and hid far away!
He walked back and forth by the wall, rubbing his face with his hands, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and smelled the palm of his right hand, and then he had a strong urge to vomit!

He cursed and felt nauseous. The secretary outside the door heard the noise inside and knocked on the door, then poked his head in.

He took a deep breath and said, "Call...Call the guards and then call the police!"

At the same time, there was a box in front of the president with the words "Dedicated to Mr...., your loyal follower" written on it.

He sometimes receives these things, and seeing that the packaging looks pretty good, he plans to give this follower a chance!
"I hope your loyalty and fanaticism towards me will satisfy me!"

He quickly cut the ribbon, opened the box, then lifted it up and dropped it onto the table.

"Gift crab!" When the thing inside appeared, he stood up backwards as if he had been electrocuted.

The chair knocked over the bookcase behind him and broke the glass, but his entire attention was focused on the man at his desk!
There was a knock on the chairman's door, and his secretary stood by the door, holding a box in his hand. "Someone just sent this package over, saying that there is a solution to the problems the company is facing now."

The chairman of the board curled his lips, "What a boring trick!"

"Then I should throw it away?" The secretary knew what the old man meant, so he asked this question deliberately.

"Kang Mang, you know, open it and let me see what's inside..."

A few seconds later, curses were heard from the chairman's office. The guards of the entire company were activated. They began to search the package everywhere, and five minutes later, seven or eight police cars arrived downstairs of the company.

Director Steven Johnson is dead.

Not only did he die, but he was also torn into pieces here and there!
The case is handled by the New Jinzhou Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, which specializes in major cases.

There will be no bigger case in a short period of time than the dismemberment of a director of a multi-billion dollar listed company and mailing it back to the company!

The entire building was quickly cordoned off, more police officers arrived at the scene, and he also appeared in the company's conference room.

In front of him were three trays containing the three body parts that had triggered the police call.

Two hands and one foot.

"How did you determine that this person was Steven's?"

The head of the investigation department is the police chief. If he were in other places, the police chief would be able to become the director, but here, he is just a middle-level manager in the police station.

The vice president was still sitting there in shock. He didn't dare look at the wreckage and could only look out the window, trying to calm down. "That... emerald ring. I know that emerald ring. It's Steven's favorite ring. He never takes it off except when he sleeps."

The sheriff did find an emerald ring on the palm of his left hand, and the description was essentially the same as that given by the vice president.

Being able to confirm the identity of the body with a high probability has played a huge role in solving the case.

Soon more information was gathered, and many board members had obtained similar body fragments, but without the head and torso.

The whole company was shrouded in anxiety.

The fragments were quickly taken away and returned to the police station, where they would be pieced together after forensic examination.

Next, it’s time for questions.

The sheriff took out a pen and a notebook, "Has your company offended any tough guy recently?"
