NovelEnglishAs Wallace passed by the meeting room, the door was open and the room was empty. Only a few used paper cups were left on
the desk
The investigation team had interrogated Carson and Ivan for more than an hour.
Wallace narrowed his eyes as a sudden thought cto his mind. He mulled over it on his way over to the elevator While
waiting for the elevator that would take him up to his office, his phone suddenly rang Five minutes later, Wallace knocked on the
door of the CEO’s office,
Almost immediately, Ivan opened the door and said, “Mr. Finch, cin.”
“Hello, Ivan.” Wallace nodded in response as the man ushered him in. Five minutes before, he had received a call from Ivan,
who asked him to head up to the CEO’s office, He glanced around the office briefly until his eyes cto rest on Carson, who
was standing in front of the French windows
“Was there any problem with the investigation team? What did they say?” Wallace asked with concern. With a worried look, Ivan
sighed and his smile earlier turned into a frown. He didn’t answer the question. Instead, he just said, “Mr. Finch, have a seat
first.”
When the door was closed, Carson finally turned around and nodded.
“Wallace, I asked you to chere because I need a favor from you.” “If you need any help, just tell me. I will try my best to fulfill
it.” Wallace said seriously.
Carson looked at ivan. Ivan immediately decoded the unspoken message, tapped on the tablet he was holding and handed it
over to Wallace. Confused, Wallace took the tablet, looked at Ivan and then at Carson in confusion. Carson only signaled to him
to check what was on the screen, but didn’t say anything more.
Wallace lowered his eyes and analyzed the contents on the tablet. The stock price graph rose and fell, fluctuating in line with the
investors’ actions in the stock market. In the past month, the stock price of the Sullivan Group’s shares had risen a few times in
the middle, but the overall price was on a downtrend and sinking fast. Today, it fell to an all-tlow.
“Well...” Wallace looked at Ivan in confusion. He wasn’t sure what was expected of him.
“Please continue to the next page. That’s where things get interesting.” Wallace immediately scrolled to the second page, and
saw a more detailed data graph. Every tthe stock price was at a low price, the equity changes of the Sullivan Group on that
day were specifically marked in red.
In the past month, almost every tthe stock price fell to a certain number, someone would purchase a bulk of the shares in the
hands of individual investors.
“Someone is buying the shares of the Sullivan Group?” Wallace frowned when he saw the pattern.
Ivan nodded.
“Their actions were not obvious before, and they only bought a little each time. But after nine o’clock this morning, within half an
hour, dozens of accounts with different IP addresses purchased so many of our company’s public shares. If these accounts and
IP addresses all belong to one person, then this person now owns at least two percent of the Sullivan Group’s stock.”
As he spoke, Ivan swiped right on the tablet and turned to the next page, on which many IP addresses were densely listed on
the screen.
**Two percent.”
It was not a big number, but it was not a small one either
At that moment, there was a shareholder who held three percent of the company shares in the board of directors That was to
say, if this person continued to acquire the shares as they were doing, they would soon beca director of the Sullivan Group.
With the company already in the eye of the storm, a change of equity would inevitably cause an even greater storm.
“I see. Do you wantto find out who this person is?” Wallace put away the tablet and asked.
“No. For now, it doesn’t matter who they are.” With one hand in his pocket, Carson leaned against the edge of the big marble
desk
“At the current rate of share price decline, about 15 minutes from now, the group’s share price will be suspended in the market.”
“So what is the plan?”
“Ivan and I have our hands full with handling the investigation team.” Carson looked up at Wallace.
“I want you to keep an eye on this person for the next fifteen minutes. I want to know just how much they want.”
