"It's !" Ling Zhenfei's voice was cold.
The person was clearly startled upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's voice, unable to guess who this brother was, but sensed from the tone it wasn't soone to be trifled with. Who else would dare to speak to him in such a way?
"Who exactly is it, stop kidding around," the person asked again, but this ti there was a clear lack of confidence.
"Quit the nonsense and open the door," Ling Zhenfei's voice remained cold, even bearing a hint of anger.
"Coming, coming right now," the person inside was sowhat panicked, not knowing which big shot had arrived, and hurried over to open the door. Though separated by the door, Ling Zhenfei could see the person's situation very clearly.
As the person got to the door, they adjusted their clothes before opening it, but the mont they saw Ling Zhenfei, they froze, sensing that sothing was amiss, and opened their mouth to shout.
But how could their speed compare to Ling Zhenfei's? The mont they were about to shout, Ling Zhenfei had already made his move to grab their neck, his imnse strength ensuring they couldn't make a sound.
Ling Zhenfei pushed the person down into the room with one hand, while with the other, he closed the door.
As the person was being strangled by Ling Zhenfei, their face turned red with the struggle for breath. Of course, Ling Zhenfei could not let this person die so easily, so he loosened his grip slightly, allowing them a bit of room to breathe.
"If you dare shout, I'll strangle you to death. You've already felt it, killing you would be effortless for ," Ling Zhenfei threatened fiercely.
The person was clearly terrified, having just skirted the edge of death at Ghost Gate, and their heart trembled in fear at Ling Zhenfei's nacing appearance.
They nodded desperately, in full agreent with Ling Zhenfei's words.
By now, Ling Zhenfei had realized that the youngster was indeed very afraid of dying. If the kid didn't obey, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't mind killing him for real, especially since he had the backing of the investigators and was representing the investigation team on this occasion.
Ling Zhenfei gradually lessened the pressure of his grip, allowing the person to breathe more easily, then said, "I just want to ask you so questions. Just tell the truth, and I assure you of your safety."
The person nodded vehently, "As long as I know it, I'll definitely tell you, but I'm just a lackey, I really don't know much, and I'm not sure if I have the information you're looking for."
Upon hearing this person's words, Ling Zhenfei's gaze turned sharp, "Are you looking to die? I haven't asked you anything yet and you're already spouting such nonsense. Are you tired of living? Moreover, you wouldn't be sitting in this room if you were just a lowly lackey. Do you think you deserve it?"
"Don't think I don't know, this room you are in used to be Wei Damin's office. I don't think I need to tell you what level Wei Damin is at, so your position must not be insignificant either."
Sweat poured down the face of the person as they were clearly frightened by Ling Zhenfei hitting a sore spot.
"Now you should be honest, right? I'm not so easily fooled. If you've decided to deceive , I'd advise you to think again. I can assure you that lying to would end very badly for you."
"Y-yes, I wouldn't dare deceive you, I'll tell the truth, everything I know," the person said, their expression dull, focused solely on survival.
"What's your na and position?" Ling Zhenfei posed his first question.
"My na is Xu Cheng, and I'm the newly appointed financial manager,"
Ling Zhenfei was startled; he had not expected to accidentally catch the financial manager of the Imperial Palace Club. Knowing this, he realized he had found the right person since now he understood almost everything about the club's finances.
"You are the financial manager of the Imperial Palace Club, so you must be very clear about the club's financial transactions,"
"Yes, I know everything. I calculate all the daily revenues and expenditures," Xu Cheng said anxiously.
"Then do you think there's anything wrong with the club's finances?"
Upon being asked by Zhenfei, Xu Cheng imdiately faltered, saying, "Is there an issue? No, I feel everything is very normal. It's just that the amounts are a bit large, but the expenditures are also high."
Zhenfei was taken aback, feeling that Xu Cheng was not being honest and was not telling the truth.
"You think their finances are okay?"
Xu Cheng was scared by Zhenfei's words and quickly explained, "What I an is, if there's an issue, it's that they make too much money; it's practically robbery. But the earnings of the hostesses are also very high."
"Then haven't you noticed any expenditures where the destination of the funds is unclear?" The Imperial Palace Club would often need to smooth things over with connections, surely they must give gifts to officials.
Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "I wouldn't know about that. I'm just in charge of calculating the daily expenses and revenues; I have no idea about their own directions."
"Then you must know where the daily inco cos from, which mber, right!" Zhenfei thought Xu Cheng should know since this was the financial office, and Wei Damin, the previous financial manager, had found a complete list on his computer.
The expression on Xu Cheng's face couldn't have been uglier as he said, "Big brother, I really don't know about that. Every mber's na is a code, they absolutely do not let know their nas."
Zhenfei was taken aback and quite surprised, "I don't believe it; show the report to take a look."
Out of sheer terror, Xu Cheng opened so files on the computer and found today's financial transactions. To Zhenfei's surprise, the mbers' nas were indeed a series of numbers.
This ant that the people at the Imperial Palace Club didn't trust Xu Cheng at all; they didn't let him touch anything critical, or perhaps it was because of a past leak that had made the Imperial Palace Club more vigilant...
Zhenfei was sowhat disappointed, but even so, he plugged a USB drive into the computer and planted a Trojan virus. Whether or not there was any data on this computer, he would leave that to Long Hai's people to investigate.
After doing all this, Zhenfei reset his sights on Xu Cheng, determined not to let this young man off so easily.
Zhenfei's voice turned cold, and a killing aura beca evident, quite frightening. He said to Xu Cheng, "Now, I've finished asking all my questions. Do I kill you, or do I kill you?"
Hearing Zhenfei's words, Xu Cheng's face turned pale with fear, and he pleaded, "Big brother, please let go. I'm just working for the Imperial Palace Club. Whatever grudge or grievance you have with the club has nothing to do with ."
Zhenfei sneered, "I haven't gotten a single piece of information from you, tell why should I let you go? Give a reason."
