Chapter 760 - 759: Scandal?
"What exactly happened?" Yusuf Zuck got into Fleur Carson’s car, and as they headed towards Marlon Shepherd’s house, he discovered that Marlon Shepherd hadn’t been arrested; he was just under house surveillance, probably the kind cooperating with an investigation. So, he was still living at his own place.
Yusuf Zuck’s expression was a bit ugly because, thinking about the timing, he hadn’t been gone a year yet, and now someone had the audacity to claim a free share of Sky Easy’s dry stocks?
Who had the guts to do that? To want a dry stock was to want to take Yusuf Zuck’s money for free?
In the past, Yusuf Zuck had heard about some young masters from influential families or children of officials who held dry stocks in major companies; this money was given freely to them because trouble would follow if you didn’t give in to them.
The secular world was a mundane society, also a society of personal connections. Although the people here didn’t pursue any cultivation level or seek immortality, they were engaged in endless intrigues and power struggles.
The business world was as treacherous as a battlefield, where a moment of carelessness could result in capsizing in a gutter.
"We haven’t figured out exactly whom we’ve offended yet. The situation now is that there’s a middleman with the surname Murillo involved in the dialogue with Marlon Shepherd. This Mr. Murillo is quite powerful too, the chairman of Changyuan Trading. Oh, and do you know the Imperial Palace Hotel? It’s one of his properties."
"Someone with the surname Murillo?" Yusuf Zuck was sure he didn’t know anyone by that name.
"Called Armando Murillo, a big name in the domestic circle of tycoons, a very famous bigwig. However, he’s just a middleman, most likely working for someone behind the scenes. I’ve used all my resources to investigate, but I still haven’t been able to find out anything."
"What about Devin King? Didn’t you ask him?" Yusuf Zuck frowned and said.
