Chapter 23 Miller (Part 1)

"Enough!" This time, John couldn't sit still anymore. He slapped the coffee table and stood up, shouting at Zuo Yan, "I don't have to sit here and listen to this!"

"No... you have to listen. Update the fastest"

What shocked John was that the person who said this was Doster.

"Don't look at me like that, John." Doster held the wine glass and said in a half-drunk tone, "Now that things have come to this... I might as well speak frankly..." He pointed at Zuo Yan, "Right now, that guy is the person in charge here. He can go wherever he wants, do whatever he wants, and arrest anyone he wants... He can arrest anyone."

"What?" John glared at Doster, his eyes seemed to say, "You have received so many benefits from me on a daily basis, and you tell me this when you need me?"

"What's so surprising." Feng Bujue read leisurely beside him, "He is holding important evidence related to the case without wearing gloves, and talking to you here... Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

He was right. Zuo Yan did something that even Doster couldn't do and was obviously not in compliance with regulations, which means... At this scene, there is nothing Zuo Yan can't do.

In fact, Feng Bujue knew long before the call between the Minister of the Interior and Dost... From this moment on, the case was fully handed over to Zuo Yan, and it didn't matter if Dost went home immediately after get off work; the only reason why the sheriff stayed at the scene was that the superiors wanted you to stay at the scene to support the scene, after all, there were many people watching outside.

"You...you guys..." John glanced at the other four people in the room with different expressions, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

He reluctantly suppressed his anger again and sat down.

"Mr. Zuo Yan." After sitting down again and adjusting his breathing, John spoke again, "I hope you have enough ability... and courage to be responsible for what you are going to say next."

"Don't worry about that, Herbert first... Oh no..." Zuo Yan replied, "I think I'd better call you John. Now that the conversation has been opened, whether you should be called 'Herbert' is a matter to be discussed."

Obviously, Zuo Yan didn't fall for John's "demonstration" trick at all; even if he didn't have the ability and courage to feed others shit like Feng Bujue, he wouldn't be intimidated by this level of intimidation.

"Well... I'm a little confused by being interrupted all the time." After a few seconds, Zuo Yan said again, "It's just right, let's just go back a little bit..."

He said these two sentences to buy time, because it was not him who was interrupted, but Victor, and Zuo Yan needed to buy some time for the cat detective to reorganize the content of the narrative.

"Let's start with Miller..." Then, Zuo Yan continued slowly, "Pat Miller is a greedy person. This greed has turned him from a young man with a bright future into a criminal with a bad record.

"Many years ago, when Miller was still working at John Herbert Investment Co., Ltd., he was valued by John for his outstanding work ability and performance, and became John's right-hand man at a young age.

"In those two years, he and John did a lot of things that were on the edge of the law and even crossed the line... It was these activities that made John a young and promising young entrepreneur in the eyes of everyone.

"Of course, both of them are very smart, and neither of them will leave a handle for each other. The two of them use each other well and get what they need.

"But the good times didn't last long. Miller's greed eventually made him out of John's control...

"In the second year of being John's assistant, Miller secretly registered a shell company in his own name. He embezzled funds from John's company into his own company account to do some short-term, high-risk investment projects for personal gain.

"At first, he succeeded several times. While making money, he could also replenish the funds without anyone noticing, so... he became more and more daring.

"As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet...Finally, one time, Miller failed and lost a lot of money. Although he took advantage of John's trust in him and covered up his mistakes, it was only a stopgap measure...Not long after, John's company had a broken capital chain.

"Of course, John didn't realize that the root of the matter was Miller at this time. I guess he didn't even think of the presumption of "internal thief", so...he would once again make Miller his "partner in crime" and implement the conspiracy to seize old Herbert's property.

"What happened after that...I have already talked about it before.

"When the truth came out, it was after the final judgment of the inheritance dispute case. At that time... John had enough energy to investigate some things. In the end... the truth could not be hidden. Miller's misappropriation of funds was exposed, and he was naturally kicked out by John.

"Although Miller knew a lot of John's crimes, as I said just now... neither of them was the type of person who would leave "evidence", and... Miller himself was John's accomplice in many incidents. Therefore, even if Miller wanted to blackmail John, he couldn't find any way.

"In the years that followed... Miller's life was obviously not good, and his life became more and more miserable. It's not that he doesn't have the ability to make a fortune, but... he no longer has the ambition to get rich through the "right way".

"To use a metaphor, he is like a gambler who has lost everything. It is almost impossible for such a person to get rich by working; because... when a person is used to gaining or losing huge wealth through gambling, his concept of money will become distorted. At this time, the little money earned through labor... can no longer make him feel any "reality".

"Similarly... it is difficult for a person who has easily earned huge funds through illegal means to earn the same amount of money in a legal way psychologically.

"People are like this... it's okay if they haven't taken the wrong path, but once they have taken it, after experiencing the easy and ridiculous wealth and vanity, it is difficult for them to take the right path again...

"In a few years, Miller spent all his savings and went further and further on the road of crime... Then, he was inevitably caught.

"With the first criminal record, his chances of finding a good job were reduced by 90%. Moreover, even a job that seemed respectable to others could not satisfy his greed...

"So, he had a second, third...nth criminal record; at first, it was all financial fraud, then it became ordinary, not very sophisticated fraud, and later even violent crimes such as stealing and robbing..."
