Chapter 1375 Miller (Part I)(Chapter Preview)

"Enough!" This time, it was John who couldn't sit still. He slammed the coffee table and stood up. He shouted at Zuo Yan,"I don't have to sit here and listen to all this!"

"No... You have to listen."

To John's shock, the person who replied was dauste.

"Don't look at me like that, John. " With a glass of wine in his hand, Daoist said in a half-drunk tone,"now that things have come to this ... I might as well be Frank ..." He pointed to Zuo Yan."Right now, that kid is the one in charge here. He can go wherever he wants, do whatever he wants, and arrest whoever he wants to arrest ... He can arrest whoever he wants."

"What?" John glared at Daxter with a look that said,"you've received so many benefits from me, and now you're telling me this when I need you?"

"What's there to be surprised about?" "He did not even wear gloves," Feng bujue read out loud,"and he openly held the important evidence related to the case and talked to you here ... Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

He was right. Something that even dausto could not do, something that was clearly against the rules, had been done by Zuo Yan. This meant that ... There was nothing that Zuo Yan could not do in this place.

In fact, after the conversation between the Minister of Internal Affairs and dawist, Feng bujue knew that from this moment on, Zuo Yan was in charge of this case, and it did not matter even if dawist left work immediately. The only reason why the chief Officer was still at the scene was that the higher-ups wanted him to stay at the scene to keep up the scene. After all, there were many people watching outside.

"You ... You guys ..." John glanced at the other four people in the room who had different expressions. He seemed to want to say something, but he did not say it in the end.

He had no choice but to suppress his anger and sit down.

"Mr. Zuo Yan." After sitting down and adjusting his breathing, John spoke again,"I hope you have enough ability ... And courage to be responsible for what you're going to say next."

"You don't have to worry about that. Herbert first ... Oh no..." Zuo Yan replied,"I think I should just call you John. Since we've already made things clear, whether you should be called 'Herbert' or not is still up for discussion."

Obviously, Zuo Yan did not fall for John's "demonstration" trick. Even if he did not have the ability and courage to feed others sh * t like Feng bujue, he would not be intimidated by this level of threat.

"Hmm ... I'm always interrupted. I'm a little confused." After a few seconds, Zuo Yan said,"that's good. Let's go back to the topic ..."

He was trying to buy time because it wasn't him who was interrupted, but Victor. Zuo Yan needed to buy some time for the cat detective to retell the story.

"Let's start with Miller ..." Then, Zuo Yan continued unhurriedly,"Peter Miller was a greedy man. This greed turned him from a promising young man into a criminal with a bad track record.

"Many years ago, when Miller was still working in John Herbert Investment Co., Ltd., He was valued by John due to his excellent work ability and performance. He became John's right-hand man at a young age.

"In those two years, he and John did a lot of things that were on the edge of the law or even out of line ... It was these deals that made John a young and promising entrepreneur in the eyes of the public.

"Of course, the two of them are very smart. Neither of them would leave any evidence for the other. The two of them make good use of each other and get what they need.

However, good times don't last long. Miller's greed ultimately allowed him to escape John's control ...

"In his second year as John's assistant, Miller secretly registered a shell company under his own name. He embezzled John's company's funds into his company's account to do some short-term, high-risk investment projects for personal gain.

"In the beginning, he succeeded a few times. While making money, he could also make up for his funds without anyone knowing. So ... He became more and more daring.

"As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, your shoes will get wet ... Finally, Miller failed at the last step and lost a large sum of money. Although he used John's trust in Him to cover up his mistake, it was only a temporary measure ... It didn't take long for John's company to have a fracture in the capital chain.

"Of course, John didn't realize that Miller was the cause of all this. I guess he didn't even consider Miller to be a 'traitor', so...He made Miller his 'criminal partner' again, and carried out the plot to seize old Herbert's family property.

"What happened after that ... I've already told you.

"When the truth was revealed, it was already after the final judgment of the inheritance dispute case. At that time ... John already had the spare energy to investigate some things. In the end ... The truth couldn't be hidden. Miller's misappropriating of funds was exposed, and he was naturally kicked out of the door by John.

"Although Miller knows a lot of John's crimes, as I said earlier ... Neither of them are the type of people who would leave 'evidence' behind. Moreover ... Miller himself has also acted as John's accomplice in many cases. Thus, even if Miller wanted to blackmail John, he couldn't find a way.

"In the years that followed ... Miller clearly didn't live very well, and his life became more and more miserable. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability to get rich, but ... He no longer had the heart to get rich through the 'righteous' path.

"If I have to make a comparison, he's like a gambler who lost his entire family. It was almost impossible for such people to get rich by working. This was because ... When a person was used to obtaining or losing huge wealth through gambling, his concept of money would become distorted. At this time, the small amount of money he had earned through labor ... Could no longer give him any "real feeling."

"For the same reason ... It's hard for a person who has easily earned a huge sum of money through illegal means to earn the same amount of money through legal means.

"That's how humans are ... It's fine if they haven't walked the evil path, but once they do, it's very difficult for them to walk the right path after experiencing the wealth and vanity that came so easily and ridiculously ...

"A few years later, Miller spent all his savings and went further and further down the path of crime ... Then, he was inevitably caught.

"With his first criminal record, his chances of finding a good job were reduced by 90%. Not to mention, even if it was a decent job in the eyes of others, it wouldn't be able to satisfy his greed ...

"So, he had a second, third ... And the nth criminal record. In the beginning, they were all financial fraud cases. Later, they became ordinary, not-so-brilliant fraud cases. Later, they even have records of violent crimes such as stealing and robbery ..."
