Capítulo 1542: 1542. There is a force helping to cover up
He reached out and patted Elly Campbell on the shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry.”
Elly thought about it and nodded to Adam Jones, not continuing to dwell on the topic.
“Has the company encountered any difficulties recently?”
Adam Jones subtly changed the subject.
“Hmm? No, why do you ask all of a sudden?”
Elly looked at Adam with a puzzled expression and asked.
Adam paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Nothing, I was just asking casually.”
Without figuring out what Auston was up to, it was best not to let Elly know for now.
Adam had sent Robert Green to investigate Auston’s situation. It took an entire week to barely find more clues than Ethan White had.
“Boss, the results we found are similar to Ethan’s. Auston indeed has movements targeting Campbell and Brayman, but there’s someone helping to cover it up so none of us can detect a thing.”
At this point, Robert Green frowned, “By the time Campbell and Brayman realize, it will be too late to save themselves.”
Fortunately, Ethan White was investigating his uncle White Shang, which unintentionally led to the investigation of Auston’s actions, otherwise…
Adam furrowed his brow, remembering what Robert Green had just said, and knitted his eyebrows, saying:
“There’s someone helping to cover up?”
“Yes.”
“Does it involve Lisa Fefferman?”
Robert Green shook his head, “So far we haven’t found any connection to Lisa Fefferman, but it does involve Auston.”
Adam’s frown deepened.
As the power holder of Auston, who has the ability to bypass Lisa and target Campbell and Brayman?
Or perhaps, in Lisa’s view, this is just a simple business move she didn’t involve herself in, but even if she noticed, she didn’t care?
But Auston’s actions clearly are not just business competition; they want to swallow these two listed companies in one sweep. How could Lisa not know about such a big move?
Or is there a force helping to cover it up, so even Lisa hasn’t noticed?
“Did you find out who’s helping to cover it up?”
Robert Green raised his hand, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and said:
“We haven’t yet, but some clues point to Edward Smith.”
“Edward Smith?”
The name Edward Smith was not unfamiliar to Adam.
The arms dealer from New Horse, his defense group is well-known as New Horse’s arms manufacturer in Southeast Asia.
On the surface, he’s a government arms supplier, but behind the scenes, Edward is involved in arms smuggling. However, since evidence has never been found, not even the New Horse government can touch him.
His means are ruthless, and he kills without batting an eye; many have died at his hands.
Although Adam had little interaction with Edward Smith, he had some understanding of his methods.
If Elly’s matter involves Edward, it would be a big trouble.
Adam furrowed his brows tightly, unable to understand how Edward Smith got involved in this matter?
Why is the Smith Group allied with Auston, with one focusing on pharmaceuticals and the other on weapons? There’s never been any known partnership.
Or perhaps the whole thing isn’t a collaboration between the Smith Group and Auston but rather between Edward Smith himself and someone within Auston.
And this person from Auston must hold a significant position.
But why would such a person target Elly?
Adam couldn’t figure it out no matter how much he thought.
