Chapter 192 Betrayal and Choice (Reward Plus More)

"No need." Finch looked coldly, admiring, dissatisfied, and even hostile, looking at Li Changheng for a while.

Then he said to Li Changheng with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Sir, since you and the two Highnesses are very close, maybe we should be allies, not opponents."

Finch looked at Oliver and said, "The only case that Mr. Oliver Aston can find out is when he was a student at Oxford University more than ten years ago.

He was imprisoned by the police as a suspected rebel who opposed and despised the royal family.

Although, he was only released for two days after being locked up.

But the Aston family is suspected of having ties to rebels, even enemies who overthrew England.

This is a political scandal, and we, the Sinclair Group, have reason to believe that the theft of diamonds is likely to be done by ghosts within the diamond group.

And the purpose of these ghosts stealing diamonds is very suspected to be to support the rebels, and even the forces in Northern Ireland."

"Shut up," the old Aston stared at Finch angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course, sir," Finch said with a straight face, "I am an insurance investigator with legal investigation rights.

Any doubts I have are protected by law before they are announced to the public and cause economic losses and adverse effects, and I have the right to investigate and doubt given by law.

Listen, Lord Aston, I speak of suspicion.

After the investigation, Mr. Oliver will be innocent, or the evidence found will be reported to the special departments of the police station and the royal family."

Li Changheng's face changed drastically as soon as he pressed it down, staring at Oliver's Charles and Andrew.

Shaking their heads at them, the two brothers calmed down.

Oliver nodded gratefully to Li Changheng, stood up and argued, "That happened more than ten years ago, and I'm just...".

"Shut up, Oliver, the more you talk the worse it is for you".

Li Changheng interrupted Oliver, and then looked at the gloomy old Aston, whose eyes were full of hesitation, anger and uneasiness.

The old man was facing at this time, either the company could not get the compensation from the insurance company, or he was hostile by all the nobles because of someone who opposed the royal family in his family, and there were also various difficulties and investigations by the royalist party in power.

If he is really convicted, Oliver will definitely go to jail, and the reputation of the Aston family will be rotten.

Even if they can get up in the future, some people will step on them and kick the Aston family back to the bottom of society.

It's really hard to choose whether to want the company or the only son.

"My lord, let's call Mr. Sinclair first, maybe he will give you a hand for the sake of decades of friendship."

Li Changheng didn't really want to help when he said this.

But at this time, everyone knows that the probability of Sinclair paying the insurance premium is pitifully small.

How can we not let the people of the diamond group despair, how can we reflect his ability and role of Li Changheng.

The greater the crisis and difficulty, the more grateful this group of people will be to him afterwards.

Old Aston shook his head melancholy. He was a capitalist himself, and he knew how Sinclair would choose without thinking about it.

However, even if you don't have any hope in your heart, people still have to call for negotiations, and maybe you can reach an agreement that everyone can accept after talking and talking.

At the same time, a lawyer in a handmade suit came to the headquarters of the diamond group with a briefcase.

After showing his business card and identification, he was taken to Aston's office.

"First, gentlemen, good morning."

Mr. Lawyer, who suddenly appeared, did not expect that there would be so many people present.

Moreover, everyone's expressions were very serious, and some even showed him the disgusted expressions on their faces without hiding it at all.

Knowing that he came at an inappropriate time, even the client, who did not know his identity, had grievances with the Diamond Group.

The lawyer could only bow to Charles and Andrew politely, and then took out a letter from his briefcase.

"Gentlemen, my name is Clyde. At nine o'clock this morning, I received a letter from an anonymous client expressing his wishes and paying the attorney's fees.

In a letter from my client, let me deliver a statement to you."

After speaking, Lawyer Clyde held out the letter in front of old Aston, but the old man had no intention of taking it at all.

Clyde smiled awkwardly, and could only put the letter on the desk in the end.

Taking a few steps back, he stood in the middle of the office and said, "My client asked me to tell you that there is something he wants to say in the letter.

As long as you follow his request, he will deliver the goods you need to the Diamond Group after receiving the payment, and the deadline is 48 hours.

Finally, if you have any decision, please let me know as soon as possible.

I will follow the plan booked by the customer and decide the next step to tell you what to do."

"Mr. Claire, you mean that you don't know who the client is or what he is going to return, right?"

Claire looked at Li Changheng who was talking, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, sir, I just did what the client said in the letter he sent me.

Others, such as your request to meet, to negotiate, to give you time to think, etc., I can't do it, and I don't know how to convey it."

The faces of the Diamond Group members instantly became gloomy and ugly.

Li Changheng asked with a smile, "Lawyer Claire, do you know that your client is committing a crime?"

"Watch your words, sir."

Lawyer Claire looked at Li Changheng seriously and said, "Before everything is concluded, my client is not a criminal, not even a suspect."

"And what if there is evidence that this is a crime?"

Claire was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Sorry, it's not a crime to just let me deliver the news, I can only abide by the professional ethics of a lawyer.

Everything else is the police's business."

The people present now have no hope for this lawyer.

Even Claire, a lawyer in a European and American social environment, would say the last sentence, which already shows that he is a rookie, or a fool who is still hovering between his conscience and his profession.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and a female secretary in her 50s pushed the door and said to the old Aston, "Mr. President, someone from Mr. Claire's office, call him."

Claire was taken aback for a moment, and the people of the Diamond Group thought to themselves that maybe it was the caller behind the scenes.

Old Aston nodded hurriedly to Claire, and when he left, he focused on the envelope on his desk.

After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the letter and opened it.

"I have two tons of rough diamonds in my hands, priced at 100 million pounds, and the funds should be deposited into the designated account within 48 hours, otherwise the diamonds will disappear forever."

"God, so we've been robbed by a lunatic? Who's going to get £100 million in cash?"

"Sinclair-Barkley," Li Changheng said with narrowed eyes, "I remember your insurance company in Sinclair, the premium is 100 million."

After finishing speaking, Li Changheng looked at old Aston and asked, "Even if I haven't seen those two tons of diamonds, I know that 10 million carats of diamonds are not just 100 million pounds.

Why only guarantee the amount of 100 million? "
