Chapter 694: Delivery to the Door 66624

The negotiation went very smoothly.

Of course, this refers to the people brought by Lanse and Owen; they did not oppose establishing a fund unrelated to them by taking out a part of the shares.

The income of this foundation will be used for Lanse and the Williams family; currently, the only ones with signing rights are Lanse and Mayor Williams, and the amounts they can call are 50% to 50%.

After the negotiation ended, Lanse had people send away these gentlemen who had returned to the human world from hell; he also chatted with Owen at the door for a few words before returning to the room.

"I thought you would support some people yourself!" Mayor Williams held a wine glass and looked at Lanse. "For example, those people from the Empire Chamber of Commerce."

He meant that if some of the capitalists in the Bay Area were cleared out, Lanse would fill this part with his own people; of course, Mayor Williams would also arrange for some people to fill in.

He didn't expect that Lanse directly invited "external forces."

Lanse sat on the sofa opposite him, looking at the wine glasses on the coffee table, not knowing which one was his for a while; he let Elvin bring another wine glass and poured some wine for himself. "My relationship with them is not bad; if I appoint them, sometimes there will be some problems, and they will make things a mess."

Mayor Williams understood a little, just a little!

He curled his lips, which could be considered as recognizing his statement; he associated it with the fact that some incompetent people in family businesses occupied high positions and caused destruction.

But in reality, the problem Lanse worried about most was that these idiots in the Empire Chamber of Commerce couldn't handle these new "positions" at all; they would be played around by those remaining rich people in the Bay Area, as well as the people on Mayor Williams' side.

He never believed in any "guarantees" and their "conscience"; guarantees and conscience are just bottom lines that can be broken at any time to reflect sufficiently large benefits.

When the benefits are large enough, or the threat is not that big, those people like Roger would be easily played around.

Rather than that, it is better to introduce a third party directly; this will not cause misunderstandings between him and the Williams family, and can stably obtain a sum of wealth.

Lanse's importance to Mayor Williams is much greater than the other way around, so he didn't refuse Lanse's proposal and accepted it happily.

In the afternoon, when it was most lively, at the busiest intersection in the center of New Jincheng, a large number of pedestrians were already standing on the sidewalk waiting for the traffic lights to change.

Just at this time, a van without a license plate suddenly drove into the middle of the intersection, the car door was opened, and a guy wearing a head cover was thrown down from the car.

Then this van left here at a very fast speed.

People were shocked by what happened here and didn't know what to do; some people called the police, and some people walked to the side of the person who was thrown down and kept shouting "Help me."

A kind person untied the head cover and saw the person under the head cover; some people who read the news this morning couldn't help but exclaim—

"Mrs. Charles?"

The police arrived at the scene quickly; they brought Mrs. Charles back to the police station and inquired about everything that happened from the time she was kidnapped to the time she was thrown down.

She had contusions and open wounds on her body, which should have been beaten, and her whole body emitted a smell of urine; she had urinated on herself.

The butler had already gone to get clothes for her, but before she said anything, she was not allowed to leave the police station.

Sitting in the interrogation room, she held the coffee cup with both hands, and her body trembled slightly.

Deputy Chief Du Ke sat leisurely behind the desk. "Mrs. Charles, you'd better be able to recall what happened from the time you were kidnapped to the time you were thrown down."

Mrs. Charles is not the kind of pure housewife who is busy being a housewife; she also has social and interpersonal relationships; she knows very well that the police station is Lanse's legitimate thug, and this Deputy Chief Du Ke in front of her cannot not know what happened.

They are just going through the motions, just playing with her, and her husband!

The trembling body is half because of fear; these people are too lawless, actually daring to kidnap even her; they don't have any law in their eyes at all!

And there is another part, which is being angered by Du Ke, by the attitude of the police station!

They clearly know everything, but they have to pretend they don't know anything, which makes people sick!

So she didn't want to talk, just sat there.

Deputy Chief Du Ke didn't say he had to ask anything either; he was just acting on orders; it wasn't until her lawyer team arrived that he relaxed a little.

The lawyers took various legal rules and regulations, demanding Deputy Chief Du Ke to release people; for these big lawyers, Deputy Chief Du Ke didn't hit hard either, because it was meaningless and not cost-effective.

After letting Mrs. Charles sign a few documents, Deputy Chief Du Ke let her leave.

After returning home, Mrs. Charles immediately called Mr. Charles. "When are you coming back?"

When receiving this call, Mr. Charles was full of surprises. "You're back?"

"Or did they let you call me?"

"How is my son now? Did they make things difficult for you?"

Mrs. Charles took a deep breath. "His situation is not very good; he fired a shot in the car, the bullet jumped around and hit his thigh; he underwent surgery in a simple room, and the doctor said there is still some danger."

"They didn't say they wanted any ransom or anything either; I am very worried about him, and... " She hesitated for a while. "... We shouldn't fight with them; we can't beat them!"

"There is one more thing, there might be a problem inside the company; they have been calling me, asking about your situation." "I also heard that someone is privately acquiring stocks..."

Mr. Charles' face was a bit black; he walked back and forth for a few steps. "I know, I will be back as soon as possible."

After inquiring about some things related to the kidnapping, he hung up the phone; judging from his wife's description of the kidnapping process, he could conclude that it was Lanse who did it.

After considering for a long time, he asked someone to inquire if Lanse had time; he wanted to go over and have a private chat with Lanse.

But soon he got a message that was not good; Lanse had already boarded the train back to New Jincheng and had already returned.

Mayor Williams still stayed in Manton, but had already left the hotel and didn't know where he went.

By this moment, he also knew that mediation was considered a failure; staying here now has no meaning, and he must return to New Jincheng as soon as possible.

On one hand, it is the problem of his wife and children, and on the other hand, it is also the most important aspect, which is the company problem.

Although his personal shareholding in the group company is the largest, this does not mean that his shares are also the largest in the overall shares; he only holds a very small part, 7%.

And this 7% is also held by him representing the Charles family, not completely decided by him.

If the group company encounters some changes because of the things he is encountering now, making him lose the position of president, or some changes he doesn't know happen, that will be something he cannot bear!

!

He immediately booked a luxurious carriage dragged by a special locomotive to return to New Jincheng; for rich people, the cost of a few thousand dollars is not in their eyes at all.

Because it is a private train, it will not stop halfway except for adding coal and water, and the speed is much faster than ordinary trains.

When arriving in New Jincheng, it was just noon on the second day; he came out of the New Jincheng train station with a gloomy face, sat in the bulletproof car that had been prepared on the side of the road, and just as he was about to leave here and return to the company, suddenly someone came to his car.

Three days ago, the kidnapping of Mrs. Charles and Little Charles happened; now those people in New Jincheng have become much smarter, including Mr. Charles.

Before he arrived at the station, more than 20 armed bodyguards were waiting for him on the platform.

From the time he got off the train to the time he sat in this bulletproof car now, he was surrounded by bodyguards.

The people who wanted to approach this car were blocked by bodyguards; Charles turned to look at those two people, signaling the bodyguards to let them go.

"Mr. Charles, we are prosecutors from the New Jincheng Prosecutor's Office; there is a matter that needs you to cooperate with us for investigation."

Mr. Charles frowned and was a bit impatient. "What matter needs me?"

"Don't you know that my son was kidnapped by kidnappers and is still missing?"

"You'd better use your energy on these things, instead of thinking about finding trouble for me, a taxpayer who pays a lot of money every year!"

The two prosecutors just smiled formulaically, and then one of them took out a document from his pocket and showed it to him. "You are arrested, Mr. Charles; the crime is prostitution."

Mr. Charles froze for a moment, followed by being laughed at!

"Are you bastards unclear about what the situation is now?"

"My wife..."

Before he finished speaking, the prosecutor who showed the document interrupted his words. "You have two choices now, Mr. Charles."

"First, you resist arrest; according to the power granted to us by the Federal Constitution and laws, we have the right to control you, and can use lethal weapons when necessary."

"Second, you come out of that car now, we will put handcuffs on you, you follow me and my colleagues back, you explain the matter clearly, and then we will prosecute you according to the process."

"Of course, in this process, you enjoy the relevant legal rights and obligations; you can hire a defense lawyer, or you can remain silent."

"But no matter how you choose, you must make the initial choice."

"Resist arrest, or come with us!"

Mr. Charles looked at these two prosecutors; they were very young, looking like they might not even be 30 years old; he hadn't seen them before.

He lit a cigarette, sat in the car, and didn't mean to leave or get out of the car. "I haven't seen you before; are you new here?"

The person who showed the document shook his head. "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Charles."

"You just need to choose."

Mr. Charles looked like he couldn't persuade them, so he could only frown. "I need to wait for my lawyer to come before I go with you!"
