Chapter 794: Chapter 691: Grudge Against the Next Day (Subscription Requested!)
Chai Ren skimmed through it.
He realized that if all these crimes were to be combined, imprisonment of Boke would be warranted, along with a hefty fine.
But it would be a hassle for him to carry out the operation.
At the same time, he couldn’t swallow the anger and humiliation he had suffered.
"Can you help me gather these evidence?" Chai Ren turned and asked the fighter with hope in his eyes.
"Due to the complex nature of the evidence, we cannot offer collection services at this time." The Fighter responded coolly. Tasks like these were the most troublesome, as they often involved getting the parties involved to record evidence, subsequent prosecution, preventing perjury and changing testimonies.
There were too many variables.
Unless it was for the benefit of Tang Qing.
The Command Room would not take up such tasks.
Chai Ren lowered his head in disappointment.
While he dared not kill anyone, the process of dealing with them was a chore.
As Chai Ren dwelled on his frustration, he found some unexpected news. Boke had falsely reported mineral deposits in an Australian project, acquiring a massive iron mine at a low price.
At that moment.
The mine was just being developed. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
If this were exposed now.
The Australian government would not be able to save face. It would definitely go after Boke.
A series of penalties and fines would cost Boke over three hundred million dollars. Not only would he have to pay a significant amount, he might even be sued by the Australian government for fraud and possibly lose other mining projects in Australia. Boke would also be blacklisted by the Australian government.
The more Chai Ren thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Reviewing the material in his hand, he found his newly acquired ’God’s Eye’ perspective fascinating. It was a sensation he had not experienced before – knowing everything about someone, both the good and the bad, and having the power to manipulate their fate.
If that were used against an enemy.
But what about oneself?
At this thought, Chai Ren was momentarily taken aback.
He wondered if this organization possessed complete intelligence on him as well. He pondered and came to a realization that he didn’t really commit any significant wrongdoings, always pursued steady business pursuits, and never committed tax evasion.
If there was any issue.
It would only be with the Africa United Mining Group.
This might be the only dark side of his business life, which offered him some relief. As he was part of the group, they would not harm their allies. However, other powers might not act as friendly.
"Are other intelligence organizations aware of our collaboration with the Africa United Mining Group? Would that cause us any troubles?" Chai Ren voiced his concern.
"Yes, the existence of Africa United Mining Group is not really a secret to major intelligence organizations, especially when the minerals all came from you. But don’t worry, with our surveillance, any arising troubles will be nipped in the bud." The Fighter responded.
The information about the Africa United Mining Group was not a secret. Anyone targeting Chai Ren or the Black Prison would see this as a crucial starting point.
However.
They would need an opportunity to strike first.
Chai Ren chose to believe after a moment of tension.
This collaborator was reliable, particularly in resolving issues. Though their means might be a bit excessive, most of the time, their approach aimed at achieving a win-win. They only used violence half of the time.
This exhibited the ’rationality’ of this power.
Even though ’beastly instinct’ overshadowed ’rationality’, there was still a shred of humanity left.
Heh.
Chai Ren laughed bitterly.
What else could he do?
All he could do was console himself.
He was already on board the ship, how could he just jump off?
After looking at the information in his hand, Chai Ren purchased more detailed information on Boke – contact, friends, network, competitors, etc. The price was another million dollars. But the content made him feel it was worth the expenditure.
In less than an hour.
Chai Ren had already planned his revenge.
An hour later.
An email was sent out.
...
The United States.
New York.
Boke’s villa, which still didn’t match the scale of a manor.
While it was midnight in Congo.
It was evening here.
Boke was on a riverside, drinking red wine and enjoying the breeze. His thoughts wandered to Central Africa where a good spectacle awaited.
When he sold the problematic iron mine to Chai Ren, he did so intending to watch a failure. However, life didn’t go as planned. The one he thought of as the viewer became the doer, as Chai Ren started to develop the mine.
At first, he thought Chai Ren agreed to Karonba’s terms.
But after some investigation, he found out Karonba died. Martin Bahati had taken over.
It would be fine if Martin took over, but he didn’t know Martin’s terms. He assumed they were as unreasonable as Karonba’s. Later, he unknowingly found out that wasn’t the case - Martin’s demands were reasonable.
This annoyed Boke exceedingly.
The iron mine.
If developed under current conditions, Chai Ren would indeed make a fortune.
And if Chai Ren made a fortune, it would mean he suffered a big loss. All the bragging he did in front of his friends would become a joke, once they found out Chai Ren had become more powerful and successful. The other directors of the company would also start to doubt his competence.
He couldn’t let that happen.
Therefore,
The kidnapping of Mulaiel took place.
As for whether Chai Ren would die or not, he didn’t care. After all, he had saved his own reputation. He had thought about if the incident in Karonba was Chai Ren’s doing. However, according to the investigation, Chai Ren really didn’t have such a ’beastly’ record. Chai Ren was a ’legitimate’ businessman.
So he made a move.
He did it very covertly, just had an unfamiliar black man deliver the message.
In his view, no one could trace it back to him, even if they did, there was no evidence. He was in a safe position.
Thinking about Chai Ren’s life hanging in the balance...
Boke sighed appreciatively, ’Africa is really chaotic, I’ll avoid going there in the future’.
Just one Chinese man.
If he gets screwed, so be it.
The world is all about survival of the fittest, who told you to venture so far.
At this time.
His phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was his female assistant. Thinking of his assistant’s charming figure, Boke, though old, still felt he had a few good years left in him.
He smiled.
He pressed the answer button.
The anticipated coquettish voice didn’t come through, instead it was panicked: "Boss, there’s a problem. The Australian Mining Department Enforcement Bureau seized our newly built large iron mine.
Major Australian media are also reporting that we have forged exploration reports and defrauded the nation’s property of Australia. We are in trouble, many Australian journalists are calling our office, asking for an explanation."
Boke was startled by this news.
"What?"
His heart raced.
Such a thing, if not exposed, is fine. But once exposed, it’s a serious problem.
Hide evidence?
Can you make the minerals disappear?
But being a veteran with a wealth of experience, Boke calmed down and had an idea. In such a situation, the exploration company is just a third party scape goat. "Don’t panic, I’ll contact the exploration company, they should be more anxious than we are."
"Boss, the American media are gradually reporting the related news. We have activated emergency public relations, but the effect is unclear. The company’s share price may be affected tomorrow." The female assistant was also not idle.
"Hmm, I know."
Of course, Boke understood the seriousness of the situation. Once the market opened the next day, and the company’s stock price plummeted, the board of directors would call him in for an explanation, given his role as CEO of the company.
He hung up the call.
Boke then dialed the exploration company boss’s number.
Dialing...
After ringing over a dozen times
No one answered.
Boke frowned.
What’s going on, why isn’t he answering the phone?
He dialed again a few times, and even tried calling the assistant team of the company boss, but still no one answered.
Boke’s heart sank. He had a bad premonition. The exploration company he hired was well-known in Australia, and it would not be easy for Australia to arrest its boss.
After thinking it over,
Boke dialed the number of an Australian legislator he knew.
"Dialing..."
After three rings,
The call connected.
"Hello, Legislator Ouge, this is Boke." Boke’s tone was very respectful.
Ouge’s serious voice came over: "Boke, I knew you would make this call, your company’s situation is very complicated. It’s not just about forging exploration reports, you need to be prepared."
"What exactly is happening, I still don’t quite understand." Boke asked.
"Specifically, I heard the Mining Department Enforcement Bureau received an email with evidence of the exploration company boss colluding with the mining department exploration division to overstate the reserves of 25 mineral deposits over the years.
The Mining Department is currently under the control of Vice President Hadelton, who is in the middle of an election. They all want to use this to strike at each other, and your iron mine has become a part of their plan to strike against Hadelton. No matter what, you are the one to bear this loss," Ouge explained.
Boke was stunned.
If it were a regular matter, he could still find solutions.
But once it became a tool for the political game of the Australian elite, it was not something he could handle.
"Is there... any way to solve this?" Boke was a little afraid.
Ouge shook his head: "Very hard. It’s election critical time now, and they found a way in to attack. They will not give it up easily. After all, Boke, you can’t offer them three presidential positions."
Ouge’s words had a clear implication.
You should stop deluding yourself.
If you charge the gun, those people will gladly take advantage of you. Who else but you would they use?
Not only do those people want to push for this matter, catch Boke, make an iron-clad case, but even the current vice president in charge of the Mining Department will also have to hold Boke accountable, recover his image, and give the public an explanation.
If it had been mining giants like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton who were involved in this situation, the Australian elite wouldn’t dare to do this, because these two companies have deep roots. The 25 mineral deposits in this case, the two companies account for half.
But they dared not touch these companies.
Excluding these two firms, Boke’s company is the most substantial. To prevent the boss of the exploration company from blurting out more companies, he was first put under control.
Boke was experiencing for the first time the helplessness of being used as a bargaining chip.
