Chapter 465: The Sparrow Stalks Behind _1
“I…”
Before Coby Marsh could open his mouth to speak, his head was struck solidly.
“Behave yourself!”
After completing the action, an officer pulled out a dart box from Coby Marsh’s waist!
“Check it, see if the model matches!”
Upon seeing this dart box, the officer’s face lit up with excitement!
Today was not a wasted trip!
And it seemed like it truly was the doing of this Coby Marsh in front of them!
The largest jewelry store owner in Gonzalez City, actually hiding a dart box!
The thought alone was thrilling!
“Report, sir, the model matches the holes on the ground, we’re pretty sure they are the same darts. As for the specific workings, we need to do a further detailed examination.”
An officer responsible for inspecting the dart box said cautiously after donning white gloves.
He had decades of experience in his job and had countless experiences.
Although he couldn’t definitively say it was 100 percent certain, the accuracy was definitely over ninety-nine percent.
Within the police department, he had a very high level of credibility.
“Three darts were fired, and they match the scene, captain, we can make an arrest!”
“Take him back!”
With a loud shout from the officer, the policemen immediately escorted Coby Marsh, pushing him into the police car.
“I’m innocent! Sir, it was really Julius Reed who did it!”
Coby Marsh yelled loudly, scared to the point of wetting himself.
“Bran Cook, Mr. Ghost, Denzel Davenport, you all saw it, speak up for me!”
He desperately called out to his peers, trying to use their testimonies to clear his name.
But with ironclad evidence before them, who would dare to testify?
Everyone was an elite entrepreneur in Gonzalez City, no one would risk getting involved.
It was best to protect oneself and look after one’s own reputation.
If involved, just a few days were enough to cause a company to go bankrupt!
Or even a person to go bankrupt!
When the wall falls, everyone pushes.
In the face of interests, so-called friendship was nothing but a joke.
Bran Cook turned his head away, not wanting to witness this scene anymore.
The scene had already been checked; Julius Reed didn’t carry a dart box. Plus, with the gun found on Coby Marsh largely matching the scene, only a small number of officers were left to monitor outside, while the majority returned to examine the fingerprints on the gun through technical means.
Everyone was forbidden from leaving Five-state International within two hours.
But the party would go on as usual.
Although the incident had dampened everyone’s spirits,
many people who weren’t close to Coby Marsh already believed that Boss Marsh bringing a gun to the party meant no good!
Faced with the suspicion of a multitude of entrepreneurs, Bran Cook had no choice but to sacrifice the pawn to save the king!
To abandon Coby Marsh!
Otherwise, he would offend a large group of entrepreneurs in Gonzalez City.
Itai Huntington arrived fashionably late, although she was five minutes earlier than the agreed time.
“Oh! What happened here?”
Seeing the police car at the door, along with several officers, she approached to inquire, “Hello, I am the owner of this building. May I ask what happened here?”
She had previously received a call from the police regarding the surveillance system at the Five-state International building.
But before she could ask for details, they had hung up.
Now, upon entering, she was greeted by several police officers, which unsettled her.
What happened during my absence?
“Someone was hiding a box of concealed weapons and has been caught! Miss Huntington doesn’t need to worry; your event can continue. As long as it’s confirmed to be Mr. Marsh’s personal action and unrelated to you, we will leave immediately. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.”
A police officer politely answered.
“Coby Marsh, hiding a box of concealed weapons?”
Itai Huntington wondered if she’d heard wrong.
Why would the jewelery business leader of Gonzalez City carry a concealed weapon box to such an occasion?
And how was it discovered?
She immediately entered the Five-state International building to understand the situation from some local entrepreneurs.
After learning the whole story, Itai Huntington approached Julius Reed and asked, “Did you do it?”
“Are you kidding, sister? It was Boss Marsh who took the concealed weapon box to hit me, how did it become my doing?” Julius Reed said with an innocent face, looking very much the victim.
Itai Huntington sneered coldly; she was not going to be deceived by Julius Reed.
After interacting with him for a while, she always felt wary of this seemingly impulsive young man.
Because every time he appeared to lose his reason in impulse, it cost his opponents dearly!
And he himself would emerge unscathed.
“Thank you for the money, that’s a huge number! What now? Planning on keeping me as a mistress? The price is a bit steep, I’m worried my body can’t take it!” Itai Huntington once again adopted a seductive demeanor.
“Sister, what money?”
Julius Reed scratched his head and said, “What are you talking about?”
“Ha! Men!”
Itai Huntington snorted coldly: “Was it not you who made Jennifer Lopez transfer the money to my card? Now the mud has stuck, whether it’s shit or not, it’s still there.”
She had considered explaining to Jennifer Lopez.
But the strengths of the two women were not too different; they were basically equals.
If she went to explain this matter, it would undoubtedly be showing weakness to Jennifer Lopez.
What would others think of her then?
What would Jennifer Lopez think of her?
So now, Itai Huntington had to brazenly take the blame while claiming fiercely, “Yeah, I wanted your money, so what? Bring it on!”
“I didn’t expect you to be so outspoken, sister! I thought a girl like you wouldn’t swear!”
Julius Reed gave a thumbs up and nodded: “That’s really a personality!”
“I won’t chat with you anymore, but just one thing for you to remember, Jennifer Lopez’s influence is huge, far beyond what you imagine!” After leaving this piece of advice, Itai Huntington walked to the attention center and clapped her hands loudly.
“Everyone! Although there’s been a slight interruption, it doesn’t affect the first cocktail party of our business alliance!”
Itai Huntington shouted loudly: “Now, please follow me to the hotel!”
The second floor of the Five-state International building was a restaurant.
An international restaurant, exclusively for various meetings.
Choosing this location for the cocktail party was Itai Huntington’s way of showcasing her strength.
To make it clear to the entrepreneurs of Gonzalez City that she, Itai Huntington, was indeed worthy of the Chairman position!
Coby Marsh being taken away was just a minor incident.
The nervous and panicky mood of the crowd quickly vanished.
The group gradually made their way to the second floor, chatting and laughing, beginning to discuss the future and some issues about the business alliance.
Bran Cook made several hand signals, indicating to his supporters to proceed as planned.
Although he’d lost a staunch supporter in Coby Marsh, there were hundreds and thousands of entrepreneurs in Gonzalez City, so he wasn’t short of a few people.
When the crowd gradually took their seats, the meals that had been prepared in advance were served one after another.
Itai Huntington then slowly walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone and softly spoke: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Five-state International building. The reason for inviting everyone here today is to finalize our distribution of profits scheme.”
The moment she finished, the room fell silent.
Bran Cook’s eyes shone keenly, he’d been waiting for this moment for a long time!
