Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2399 - 1798: Breaking Through Mental Defenses

Vanished without a trace from within a double-locked safe, the supposedly unbreachable, critical documents sent Jenny into a furious rage on the spot.

These documents held not just business secrets, but also indispensable evidence that absolutely could not be revealed to the public!

There were five contracts, each pertaining to a different company. Whenever Jenny, designated as the "special envoy," made a visit, she had to swap out a contract with the collaborating company. Naturally, the other party also held an identical contract for the same purpose.

Jenny had brought five contracts with her, and upon her return, she was mandated to retrieve five in exchange.

Each of these contracts was marked with a signature from the highest-ranking executive of the company involved, alongside an official seal.

Should these contracts be exposed and a thorough investigation be launched by the authorities, those individuals would find themselves in dire straits, unable to escape accountability!

These individuals, facing the risk of imprisonment, simultaneously reaped astonishing profits from their involvement.

As the renowned book states, with sufficient profit, any capital will grow bold. At fifty percent profit, it is driven to undertake risky actions; at one hundred percent, it is prepared to disregard all laws; and at three hundred percent, it makes a person fearless even of death!

An old Chinese saying also echoes this sentiment: Money can make the devil grind corn!

Therefore, these people were readily willing to affix their signatures under the supervisor's directive.

Those who were permitted to participate were not merely capable managers of large enterprises; they also possessed a daring and fearless pursuit of wealth, serving as the true masterminds behind the scenes, the most trusted confidants!

These individuals were privy to even more advanced secrets.

It can be asserted that once any trouble arose, both parties would be consumed by the fear of exposure, compelling them to actively seek a resolution!

Naturally, discussions of resolution and rescue were matters for later.

At this very moment, amidst such a catastrophic incident, there would inevitably be a "source of disaster."

It was understood that regardless of which party was involved, including those who would later bear responsibility, they would absolutely not let this source of disaster go unchecked.

And right now, this very "source of disaster" was none other than herself!

In this instant, Jenny felt as though she was on the precipice of utter collapse.

Sharing her intense anxiety, and even panic, was John, the head of the "Green Sky" Company.

After all, they were both caught in the same predicament; neither could escape nor could they simply abandon their situation.

Just as their minds were reeling from shock, a commotion erupted from outside.

After much fragmented shouting, they finally discerned the crucial message: they were being summoned to exit and submit to an investigation!

At this revelation, Jenny's face turned ashen, while old John's countenance darkened considerably.

"Who is it?!" Jenny shrieked at old John, her voice cracking with distress.

Her very tone had transformed in her panic.

"I have no idea," old John replied, gazing towards the door, his voice tinged with a noticeable hoarseness. "But whoever has come must be well-prepared, otherwise, how could they arrive here to confront us!"

Jenny's anxiety escalated, and she frantically exclaimed, "We can't just sit here and await our doom; I need to leave immediately!"

With only a single door providing access, Jenny immediately turned her attention towards the window.

Old John was aghast and quickly moved to stop her, his voice laced with terror as he yelled, "This is the eighteenth floor!"

Attempting to escape through the window?

That would undoubtedly turn her into a splattered mess on the ground!

"Then what should we do? Should I hide?" Jenny asked, her voice trembling with fear.

Old John surveyed the door with a grim expression, yet he managed to calm himself with surprising speed. "Hiding is out of the question; when you arrived, a great many people outside were observing! The opposing party will not cease their efforts until you are found!"

Hearing his words, Jenny felt a profound sense of dread wash over her, chilling her to the bone.

However, old John's starkly honest assessment had an unexpected effect, steeling Jenny's resolve as she clenched her teeth, beginning to regain her composure.

After all, this individual had been selected by Caroline; while she might momentarily lose control, she would not remain in a state of panic for an extended period.

Once she confronted reality, she would quickly adapt and recalibrate her mindset.

"We don't know who is outside; perhaps they are merely attempting to intimidate us! For now, we can only go out and face them, responding as the situation unfolds! Should anything unfavorable arise then, we will deny everything! While we stall for time, we must also devise a solution!" Jenny declared fiercely. "Even if it comes to the absolute worst, we still have powerful individuals backing us! There is no need for despair!"

Old John observed the now composed Jenny and finally nodded in agreement. "You are absolutely right!"

In truth, old John's level of fear was significantly less than Jenny's.

The core of the problem rested with her, originating from her side, and had no direct impact on himself.

The stolen contracts did not bear his personal signature; at that juncture, he could easily disavow any involvement.

Furthermore, with the protective umbrella of his powerful backer, the Deputy Executive Vice President of the Africa Region, any subsequent repercussions would likely not be catastrophic.

The true crisis lay squarely with Jenny.

However, this woman was intelligent; she would hesitate to betray everything haphazardly until she reached a point of utter desperation.

Even if she were eventually forced to reveal everything, his side had already prepared contingency plans, negating any genuine cause for fear.

Old John, with this realization, felt his heart settle. He nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look!"

"Who exactly is outside, shouting and demanding to investigate us?"

...

Beyond the corridor, individuals associated with Jenny and Old John were engaged in a standoff with another group.

The leader of the arriving party, a man of imposing stature with sharp, severe features, was Lei Ying.

"I've already warned you, move aside! If you refuse, don't hold me accountable for my actions," Lei Ying declared coldly.

This time, he was acting under official authority. Wen Yan's faction had bestowed upon him complete control for this undertaking.

Endorsed by the headquarters Monitoring Department, his mandate was equivalent to holding the Imperial Sword, leaving Lei Ying no need for courtesy towards the individuals before him.

"You claim to be representatives of Zhenbei Group's upper management, but this location is not the company premises! It's a hotel!"
