Therefore, John couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened. He had to keep on investigating the case, even

though there hadn’t been much progress so far. Even if it was a difficult case without much clue, he had to get to

the mastermind.

 

A few days ago, the car that the criminals used to kidnap Robin was found in the wilderness. Although the car had

been badly damaged, it was the same vehicle they saw on the security footage.

Following this clue, John found out about the car owner’s information and the shadow bank to which the vehicle was

put up as collateral. The shadow bank appeared to be the base for a group of loan sharks. John didn’t pay much

attention to it in the past, as the shadow lender didn’t make a big fuss before.

Since the kidnap had something to do with the shadow bank, John told Zack to investigate it. Certainly, the internal

relations within a shadow bank were complicated, but it wasn’t difficult to find out some information, since the

employees were not really loyal.

Two days later, Zack came to John’s office and told him that the problem was thornier than expected.

The shadow bank appeared to be a small enterprise that lent out money. Since the interest rate wasn’t exorbitant

and they never tried to retrieve the money by force, they were not targeted by the authority.

It seemed that they were just an illegal business trying to make some money. However, upon closer inspection, the

truth was astounding.

The shadow bank had its own unique management system. The closer it got to the core members, the stricter the

rules became. Thus, it wasn’t easy to get some useful information from them.

 

Perplexed, Zack reported, “I’ve compared other shadow lenders within the city. It seems that this particular shadow

bank is different. I have a feeling that there’s an expert behind this institute.”

After giving it a thought, John said, “Keep on investigating it. This only proves that the truth is more complicated

than we thought.” A moment later, he went on, “Find out whether the shadow bank has other business activities

apart from lending money. Take it slow. If they really have other businesses, we can start from there.”

Zack then proceeded to start his investigation.

 

Seated on his chair for a while longer, John rose and left the room with a cup in his hand. He then bumped into

Dylan and his assistant in the corridor.

It seemed that Dylan’s assistant had done something wrong, as his expression was dejected.

Dylan kept patting his shoulders to console him. As usual, Dylan was magnanimous toward his subordinates, as

though he never had a bad temper.

In fact, John didn’t like the way his brother treated his subordinates, as this made it hard for the leader to manage

his employees. Without saying hi, he went straight to the pantry. After making himself a cup of coffee, he stood by

the window and gazed out.

 

 

A while later, Dylan came to the pantry with a cup in his hand. While he was filling his cup with water, he said, “I

heard that your mother went to the hospital.”

Without turning around, John grunted. “She did.”

Matilda indeed went to the hospital two days ago, but she was there to apologize instead of making a scene. The

Flintstones had persuaded her to do so, as the problem had to be brought to an end sooner rather than later.

Troubled by the problem for the past few days, Matilda gave in to the pressure and went to the hospital. Whether

she was willing to do so or not, she had paid enough respect to the person she had to apologize to.

When the cup was filled, Dylan let out a sigh. “Your mother is a proud woman, so I think she has to be very

aggrieved now.”

 

 

John took a sip of the coffee and found it too hot. He then changed the topic by asking, “What about you? I heard

that your recent blind dates didn’t go well.”
