Chapter 106

“Tell me, I’m listening. Let me know what’s going on,” Jasper said while sitting down.

John rubbed his face and started to tell Jasper what had happened to him during this period.

Gradually, Jasper understood what was going on.

The trouble John had run into was indeed directly related to him.

Although Jasper had won a huge amount of money after the fight with Hugh in Royce Villa, Hugh never
planned to let this matter go so easily.

However, after that incident, Jasper was either in the province or Cavern City, so Hugh could not find a
chance to seek revenge on him.

As such, Hugh, who had lost 50 million dollars, then channeled all of his anger and desire to seek
vengeance on John, who was closest with Jasper.

Even though John also belonged to the circle, at the end of the day, he was just a president of
Commercial Bank’s district branch. He still depended on his salary for his living.

Normally, when the firms wanted to take loans, they would need to see if he was in a good mood.
However, to be honest, those millionaires never paid much respect to John.

Plus, Hugh was the one attacking first, so it was even more improbable for someone to be willing to
offend Hugh for John.

It was because of this Hugh played some dirty tricks and set a trap to get hold of the details of how
John went against the rules to approve loans for companies. Then, he even disclosed this to the city
branch.



Hugh’s people were among the leaders of the city branch and were tough. John pulled some strings
but they still closed the door in his face.

If the investigation team came after him, then he would lose his job. As such, John only called Jasper
because he had no choice.

“Is it true that you violated the rules and approved the loans? How much?” Jasper asked.

John’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth and growled. “It’s not a lot, just more than three million.
However, those inhuman b*stards with no conscience will still complain about life even if they have
more than enough. They’re all thankless wenches!

“I did violate the rules in some parts. If I have to go strictly by the rules, then a lot of companies won’t fit
the requirements for loans. The ones who fit the requirements might not even want a loan. How do they
expect us to do our jobs like this?

“These are the unwritten rules in the industry. Everyone will turn a blind eye to this. It’ll be fine as long
as no one causes any huge trouble.

“That b*stard Hugh deliberately asked someone to set a trap for me. That person wasn’t a stranger, so
I wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t pay up and that’s why I approved the loan. In the end, who knew that
person would take all the money and run?

“I can’t get the money back, and Hugh is using his connections to disclose this to the branch. So, that’s
how I got into trouble.”

Jasper did not say anything as he was thinking.

John remained silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, “Brother, it’s fine if you can’t take
care of this. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just quit my job as the president.”



Jasper shook his head and said, “If they really implicate you, it’s not a matter of losing your job or not.
You might even get sent to jail if this is not handled correctly.”

John’s face turned white. He was in the industry, so how would he not know the sensitivity of these
banking matters? If he approved loans without following the rules and the person ran away, as a
president, he would really be sent to prison.

“But don’t worry.” Jasper smiled and calmed John down.

“This is easy to take care of. However, my goal is not just to take care of this.

“A person like Hugh will always bear grudges at one side, and he’ll be a time bomb for you and me.
Why don’t we use this opportunity to get rid of him?”

When John heard what Jasper said, he widened his eyes and controlled his excitement. He said,
“Brother, are you sure?”

According to the memories of his past life, John would keep getting promoted, and in the end, he would
be the second-in-command of the provincial branch.

On the other hand, Hugh’s Lantern Capital would bomb, and in the end, it would be finished.

At the end of the day, the reason Jasper knew this was still because he had changed some things after
his rebirth.

However, overall, there was one thing that would remain unchanged.

It was that Lantern Capital would definitely be finished.

Lantern Capital’s investments were running at a loss. If Hugh wanted to fix the hole and also the 50
million he lost back then, he could only rob Peter to pay Paul.



He might have already used the clients’ funds.

Plus, there was another important point. Jasper remembered that in his previous life after Hugh’s
business completely went down the drain, he was eventually sentenced.

The team from the Municipal Bureau of Economic Investigation had been watching Hugh a very long
time ago. The moment the company went down, they immediately got hold of him. Back then, he was
arrested for illegal fund-raising.

To Jasper, it was not too complicated to destroy Hugh.

“Can you get in contact with Hugh?” Jasper asked.

John did not know why Jasper asked this question. However, he said, “Yeah, but I had a falling out with
him over the phone yesterday.”

Jasper said, “Call him and tell him you’re treating him to a meal.”

John stared blankly at him and said, “Um… Won’t you be walking right into the trap? He’s been looking
for you all over the place.”

“I’m worried that he won’t find me. If he does, then I have everything planned. Make the call,” Jasper
said.

John nodded and called Hugh. He also deliberately put it on loudspeaker.

Immediately, the call went through and Hugh’s gloomy, hoarse voice sounded from the phone.

“Jackson, why are you still calling me? Are you gonna beg for mercy?”



Jack took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest before saying, “I’m inviting you to a
meal.”

Hugh was stumped for words before chortling. “A meal? I won’t let you get away with this even if you
kneel in front of me! You should blame yourself for following the wrong person. I’ll consider letting you
off if you get that Jasper kid to come over, ask him to kowtow to me, and apologize to me.”

Jasper gave Jack a look.

Jack said coldly, “He’s the one who wants to see you.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Hugh chuckled and said, “That kid has really
appeared?

“Alright, he’s pretty ballsy for having the guts to see me. Tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock, I’ll book a
table at Grand Millennium and treat him to a meal.

“Remember to tell him that if he wants to beg for mercy, he needs to bring a check of 80 million dollars.
If not, I’ll break his legs and let him crawl out the door.”

After he said that, he hung up the phone.

Jack said with worry, “Hugh has some connections with the mafia. Aren’t we a little impetuous by doing
this?”

Jasper smiled and said, “Those tricks are better kept under the table.”

“So what should we do now?” John asked.

“Find two experienced stock traders and just follow my instructions tomorrow,” Jasper said calmly, “I
know Lantern Capital has one main holding share. So, we’ll get it down for him tomorrow. His clients



will feel the fire catching their eyebrows before he can even feel anxious.”

John said excitedly, “Brother, I’ll count on you this time.”

Jasper smiled and said, “You’re in this position because of me too, so I should help you to the end.”

While he said that, Jasper stood up. “Come, let’s go to a place.”

“Where?” John asked curiously.

“The Securities Commission in the city.”
