Hence, Zeke Williams was now the official president of the company.
After the initial shock had passed, Fred quickly gathered his senses.
“I understand now. I got it. This was all a scheme cooked up by the two of you. Lacey gave you the encryption key,
which allowed you to hack into the company system. You were then able to buy large amounts of shares at low
prices! But you counted your chickens before they hatched. There’s enough evidence to end the both of you.”
Zeke broke into a smile. “I personally designed Linton Group’s firewall, so I don’t need any encryption key to hack
into the system. Besides, I confess this entire incident was orchestrated by me, and only me. But, I was only acting
on military orders.”
What?
“Haha!”
The room dissolved into uproarious laughter.
It was ludicrous that the military would order Zeke to commit such an illegal endeavor.
He sure knows how to put on a performance.

“Don’t believe me? I’ll prove it to you.” Zeke announced.
He pulled out his phone and called Wolf’s Greed, “Come in.”
“It doesn’t matter who you call. Everyone present can testify you just admitted to hacking into the company’s
system and accused the military of puppeteering you. Your jail cell awaits.” Fred threatened.
Zeke looked around the room. “Who would testify on behalf of Fred Jenson?”
Numerous hands shot up into the air. The expressions of the people they were connected to were twisted with
scorching contempt.
Those who raised their hands all belonged to Daryl Chadley’s camp.
“Good. I’ve noted all of you down.” Zeke nodded.
“I hope none of you regret your decision.”
All of a sudden, the door of the meeting room burst open forcefully.
A troop of soldiers charged in and surrounded the people present.
What’s going on?
The crowd was astonished and jumped to their feet instinctively.
Why are soldiers here?
With so many stars on his shoulder, the leader is clearly a general!
Linton Group might be fairly powerful, but it’s still not big enough to be a cause for concern for such high-ranking
military officials.
Fred Jenson was bewildered, to say the least.
I called the Bank Regulatory Bureau, not the military.
Could it be that the funds involved are too large of a sum to be handled by the Bank Regulatory Bureau and were
passed on to the military?
Fred tentatively approached Wolf’s Greed. “Good afternoon, Colonel. Why are you...”
Wolf’s Greed interrupted him mid-sentence, “Who is the assistant director of the company?”
“I am.” Fred anxiously answered.
“Get him.” Wolf’s Greed ordered.
His men immediately accosted Fred.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Colonel, what did I do wrong? Why are you arresting me?” Fred asked, stunned.
“You stole military assets and bullied a military representative. Don’t you think you deserve to be arrested?” Wolf’s
Greed’s answered.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t do it. I’ve been framed...” Fred whimpered.
Nevertheless, Wolf’s Greed could not be bothered to elaborate further. “Take him away.”
“Wait, wait. I’m innocent.” Fred wailed loudly.
“Daryl Chadley was the one who told me to do it. I was only following orders.”
Screw it.
The only way I can save myself is to throw Daryl under the bus.
Wolf’s Greed chuckled. “Is that so? But Daryl said he merely suggested the idea. You were the one who put the plan
into action. Bring Daryl in.”
Right then, a soldier quickly brought Daryl forward.
Upon the sight of Daryl’s sorry state, Fred’s heart sunk.
Crap. The boss was caught too!
