192 Betrayal and Choice

"No need", Fincher looked cold, admiring, dissatisfied, and even looked at Li Changheng for a long time with hostility.

Then he smiled at Li Changheng and said, "Sir, since you are very close to your two high men, then maybe we should be allies, not opponents."

Finch looked at Oliver and said, "The only case that Mr. Oliver Aston can find was when he was studying at Oxford University more than a decade ago.

He was locked in the police station as a suspect of rebellion who opposed and despised the royal family.

Although, he was only imprisoned for two days before being released.

But the Aston family is suspected of having connections with rebels and even subverting England's enemies.

This is a political scandal. We at Sinclair Group have reason to believe that the stolen diamonds are likely to be done by the insider of the Diamond Group.

The purpose of these insiders stealing diamonds is highly suspected to be to support the rebels and even the forces in Northern Ireland."

"Shut up," Old Aston stared at Finch angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course, sir," Finch said with a straight face, "I am an insurance investigator with legal right to investigate.

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

Lord Aston, please hear clearly, I am talking about suspicion.

After the investigation, Mr. Oliver will be cleared from his innocence or reported the evidence found to the police station and the royal family department.”

Li Changheng held his face and changed his face, staring at Charles and Andrew who were staring at Oliver.

Shaking his head at them, the two brothers calmed down.

Oliver nodded to Li Changheng gratefully, stood up and defended, "That was more than ten years ago, and I was just," said the author.

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

Li Changheng interrupted Oliver and looked at the gloomy face, his eyes full of hesitation, anger and uneasiness.

The old man was facing this time, either the company could not get compensation from the insurance company, or the company was hostile to all the nobles because of his family who had an opposition to the royal family, and the difficulties and investigations of various royalists in power.

If he was really confirmed, Oliver would definitely be in jail, and the Aston family had a bad reputation.

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

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

"Lord, let's call Mr. Sinclair first. Maybe he will give you some help because of decades of friendship."

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

But at this time everyone knows that Sinclair's probability of paying insurance premiums is pitifully small.

But if the Diamond Group people are not desperate, how can they reflect his ability and role of Li Changheng?

The greater the crisis and difficulties, the more grateful the group of people will be afterwards.

Old Aston shook his head melancholy. He himself was a capitalist. How would Sinclair choose without thinking about him?

However, even if you don’t have hope in your heart, you still have to call for negotiation. Maybe you can reach an agreement that everyone can accept.

Meanwhile, a lawyer wearing a handmade suit came to the headquarters of Diamond Group with a briefcase.

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

"First, gentlemen, good morning."

The lawyer suddenly appeared, but I didn't expect there would be so many people present.

Moreover, everyone's expressions were very serious, and some even expressed their disgust on their faces without any concealment.

I knew that I was not the time to come, and even the client who didn't know his identity had a grudge with the Diamond Group.

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

"My name is Clyde, and at nine o'clock this morning I received an anonymous client who expressed his wishes in letters and paid the attorney's fee.

My client in his letter, let me convey a statement to you.”

After saying that, attorney Clyde put the letter in front of old Aston, but the old man had no intention of taking over.

Clyde smiled awkwardly and finally had to put the letter on his desk.

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

As long as he handles the goods you need, he will ship them to the Diamond Group after receiving the reward, and the term is 48 hours.

Finally, please notify me as soon as possible if you have any decisions.

I will follow the plan booked by the customer and decide what to do next.”

"Attorney Claire, you mean, you don't know who the client is, nor what he is going to send back, right?"

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

Others, such as asking for meetings, negotiations, and time to give you time to think, I can't do anything, let alone how to convey it."

The people from the Diamond Group looked gloomy and ugly in an instant.

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

"Please pay attention to your words, sir."

Lawyer Claire looked at Li Changheng seriously and said, "Before everything is not a conclusion, my client is not a criminal, and even the suspicion is not counted."

"What if there is evidence that this is a crime?"

Claire was silent for a moment and said helplessly, "Sorry, just asking me to convey the news, this is not a crime, I can only abide by the professional ethics of a lawyer.

The rest is the police's business."

The people present will not have any hope for this lawyer.

Even lawyers like Claire in European and American social environments would say the last sentence, which already shows that he is a rookie, or a fool who is still wandering between conscience and profession.

"Knock and knock".

A knock came from the door, and a female secretary in her 50s pushed the door and said to Old Aston, "Mr. President, someone from Mr. Claire's office, call him."

Claire was stunned, and the people of the Diamond Group thought to themselves that it might be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Old Aston nodded to Claire quickly, and after he waited for someone to go out, his eyes were placed on the envelope on his desk.

He hesitated for a moment before picking up the letter and opening it.

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

"God, so we were robbed by a lunatic? Who can take out the 100 million pounds of cash?"

"Sinclair Barkley," Li Changheng said with a squinted eyes, "I remember that your insurance company in Sinclair has an insurance premium of 100 million."

After saying that, 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 more than 100 million pounds.

Why only one hundred million quota is guaranteed?”
