The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment
Chapter 306 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
Hong Kong Island, a major investment.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened, and Irwin stepped out with the Goldman Sachs negotiation team, ready to begin the third round of negotiations with Yuanda Investment regarding the betting debt.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, something unexpected happened.
A man in his early thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, suddenly rushed out of the Yuanda Investment office area and stumbled into the elevator, looking panicked and desperate.
A few meters behind him, three or four plainclothes policemen with badges pinned to their chests quickly caught up.
While giving chase, the lead policeman shouted warnings.
"Halt! Liao Jiajun, we are from the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Island Police Department. Please cooperate with our investigation. Your current actions will only aggravate your crime."
Just as he shouted a warning, two police officers guarding the elevator rushed forward and intercepted him.
The moment they heard the name Liao Jiajun, both Erwin and Paul felt a jolt in their hearts.
Having lived on Hong Kong Island for several years, they are quite familiar with Cantonese. Although they cannot understand it, they can still distinguish the tones.
More importantly, they had heard the name many times over the past few years.
The person who mentioned Liao Jiajun's name to them was a senior executive in charge of business intelligence at the branch office.
Fortunately, that guy didn't show up today, otherwise things would have been really messed up!
Before Erwin and the others could react, two plainclothes police officers pounced on Liao Jiajun with lightning speed.
Then, with a waist throw, he slammed the guy to the ground, pinned him down, and quickly subdued him.
"Let me go! I'm not a corporate spy, why are you arresting me? I want to see a lawyer..."
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Liao Jiajun screamed hysterically.
The next moment, he suddenly saw Erwin and his group, and immediately felt like he had found a lifeline.
He was pinned to the ground, struggling to reach out a hand to Erwin, as if trying to grab Erwin's leg.
"Save me, Mr. Erwin! I'm friends with Edmund, one of your men, and I've provided you with a lot of valuable intelligence over the years."
"You can't just stand by and watch me die! I beg you, Mr. Erwin, pull me up! I still have value!"
When he called for help, Liao Jiajun spoke fluent English.
Erwin and the others understood his plea for help, but their expressions were as if they had encountered a plague god, and they avoided him at all costs.
"Quick, Erwin, don't pay attention to this idiot and madman, it'll only get you into trouble."
Paul whispered a few words of advice and gently nudged Irwin's elbow.
At this moment, his face was extremely pale, as black as the bottom of a pot.
The others in the elevator, including several senior executives from Yuanda Investment and the police officers from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department, all looked at Erwin and his group with strange expressions!
Realizing what was happening, Erwin immediately strode into the interior of the Yuanda Investment Company.
Their footsteps were so fast, as if they had encountered a vengeful ghost, that they paid no heed to Liao Jiajun, who was being pressed to the ground and pleading for help.
Paul, like the rest of the Goldman Sachs negotiating team, hurriedly followed.
In their haste, they didn't even have time to greet the public relations director of Yuanda Investment and others, leaving all the senior executives of Yuanda Investment behind.
Seeing their guilty looks, several senior executives of Yuanda Investment almost burst out laughing.
They quickly followed and accompanied Erwin and the others into the office area.
Seeing Erwin and the others' reaction, Liao Jiajun's face turned deathly pale.
Immediately afterwards, the guy suddenly started yelling and cursing hysterically.
"You bastards, you sons of bitches, may you all die a horrible death! May your sons be born without an anus! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
"You heartless bastards, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if I die, I'll take one of you down with me..."
Hearing the roars and accusations coming from behind them, Erwin and his men felt their scalps tingle and their faces burn.
But none of them looked back; they all hurried along, as if rushing to be reincarnated.
In the blink of an eye, they had entered the office area of Yuanda Investment.
Behind him, Liao Jiajun's frantic cursing continued, growing ever more vulgar and unbearable.
Inside Yuanda Investment, Irwin witnessed the same scene.
Several Hong Kong Island police officers, with badges pinned to their chests, escorted a beautiful woman in her late twenties, who was limp and weak, out of the room.
Clearly, Liao Jiajun is not the only commercial spy arrested at Yuanda Investment today.
That guy just ran faster, but he still couldn't escape capture and will now face a life sentence in jail.
Fuck! This is a warning shot, a way of making an example of someone to scare others!
The company's costly and extensive investment in recruiting industrial spies appears to have resulted in their arrest!
Even the company's corporate spies planted in other companies on Hong Kong Island and in numerous financial institutions on the mainland could be caught in one fell swoop!
Once they understood this, the other senior executives at Goldman Sachs felt a cold sweat break out on their backs.
Irwin and Paul, who were walking at the front, were sweating profusely with guilt, and their calves were almost cramping.
There is no other reason why they behave this way.
The list of commercial spies that Goldman Sachs planted in Hong Kong and mainland China was provided by them!
Moreover, they had a vague feeling that China's strikes seemed to be more intense and the scope of the strikes seemed to be wider!
Just then, the CEO's secretary's phone rang.
The blonde secretary immediately took out her phone and started answering calls.
The next moment, she suddenly cried out in alarm.
"Huh! What did you say? Edmund was arrested by the Hong Kong Island Police, by the Commercial Crime Bureau, did I hear that right?"
These words startled the Goldman Sachs negotiation team.
Even the many employees of Yuanda Investment who had gotten up to watch the spectacle felt a bit uneasy.
A few minutes later, after successfully passing through security, Erwin and his team finally entered the conference room.
Upon seeing Wang Mian, Erwin feigned concern and asked:
"Mr. Wang, when we entered your company, we saw officers from the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau arresting a corporate spy."
"And it seems they've caught a few industrial spies. What's going on? Will this affect today's negotiations?"
"If it affects the negotiations, we can postpone them until the storm has passed, and then resume the negotiations later."
Wang Mian smiled as he looked at the foreigner and shook his head confidently.
"Don't worry, Mr. Erwin, this little matter won't affect our negotiations today. Everyone, just treat it as a bit of fun."
"Hong Kong Island is an international financial center. I wouldn't say it's teeming with corporate spies, but it's commonplace. Unfortunately, our company discovered several corporate spies."
"Now that we've discovered these guys, we can't just let them go. After gathering relevant evidence, we immediately called the police, which led to what we are seeing today."
Hearing this introduction, both Irwin and Paul secretly complained.
A few corporate spies were discovered by chance? Don't be ridiculous, even a ghost wouldn't believe that!
Besides the list of corporate spies we provided, you guys must have discovered quite a few cases of corporate espionage yourself!
They were just holding back, and only today have they put on this show of killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
The next moment, Erwin and his team's judgment was immediately proven correct.
The conference room door was suddenly opened, and a vice president from Yuanda Investment strode in.
He walked straight to Wang Mian and reported a new development.
"Mr. Wang, the Barclays Bank negotiation team just arrived downstairs when they were suddenly stopped by officers from the Hong Kong Island Police Commercial Crime Bureau."
"They arrived with an arrest warrant and took away the deputy general manager of Barclays Bank's Hong Kong Island branch on suspicion of stealing trade secrets..."
Before he could finish speaking, the scene erupted in chaos!
