It was already getting late when Ian finally found where Ben had run off to.
G.S. Trading Export Limited Company’s rooftop was the last place anyone would have expected a
mentally unstable Ben to appear at!
No one knew how Ben managed to walk tens of kilometers barefoot and alone to the office’s rooftop.
When Ian rushed up to the rooftop, he was met with Ben sitting on the railing, dangling his feet in the
air. The ground was tens of meters under his feet.
The sight had Ian’s heart lurching to his throat.
“Benny! Come down from there!”
Ian yelled.
Ben turned around to see Ian and smiled dumbly. “Hey. Come and play with me, come and play.”
Ian’s heart hurt as he looked at Ben who was now dirty and unkempt everywhere since he had walked
his way here. Ian’s hatred for Jasper reached the extreme.
“Come down first, Benny. Let’s go home, hmm?
“Don’t worry, Jasper, our enemy, won’t get to be arrogant for much longer. He’ll kneel before you and
beg for forgiveness very soon!”
Ian spoke as he carefully approached Ben.
Initially somewhat calm, Ben’s expression immediately turned wretched at the sound of Jasper’s name.
Crazed resentment and hatred flared in his eyes.
“Jasper! Jasper’s the devil! I want to kill Jasper! I want him dead!”
While Ben was agitated, Ian quickly dashed forward and grabbed his son’s waist tightly. He dragged
him to safety.
Extremely triggered, Ben could not recognize anyone and began to scratch and claw all over Ian.
In a few minutes, after someone had finally come to pull Ben off him, Ian already had open wounds all
over himself.
Ian panted and raised his hand to wipe the burning wounds on his face. He watched with anger and
infuriation as a few people held Ben down as the man continued to struggle and shout.
“It’s all Jasper’s fault! Our family would never have to suffer like this if it weren’t for him!”
The hatred Ian harbored for Jasper was indescribable.
Just then, someone came over and whispered, “Let’s go downstairs first, Mr. Hull. We should send
Young Master Hull to the hospital immediately considering his mental state.”
Ian clenched his jaw and got up to speak. However, he frowned as if he had thought of something and
asked, “Where’s Derick? Why haven’t I seen him at all today?”
The person shook his head. “I don’t know. We haven’t seen Mr. Mallin since yesterday.”
Ian felt his heart thrum as an inexplicable feeling of unease appeared. He had someone call an
ambulance while he dialed Derick’s number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable right now.”
The female automated intercept message fueled Ian’s unease.
“What the hell are you doing, Derick?!”
Forcefully suppressing the unease in his chest, Ian was about to exit the rooftop when he saw two
employees run up to him frantically.
“Mr. Hull, someone called Jasper and a person from the ICBS branch came over to ask us to repay the
loan and hand over our office building!”
Ian’s expression changed as he barked out with his jaw set, “So they’re really working together! Where
are they?!”
The rooftop doors opened just as Ian asked, with Jasper, Vita, and a few others entering together.
Ian scoffed. He was about to speak when he saw a large group of uniformed men appearing behind
Jasper.
The sight of these people froze the expression on Ian’s face.
One of the uniformed men walked over and asked Ian indifferently, “Are you Ian Hull, the legal
personality and president of G.S. Import And Export Trading Company?”
Ian took a deep breath and forced the unease in his chest away to reply bravely, “I am.”
The person waved his hand, and two of his subordinates immediately rushed over. They took one side
of Ian’s shoulders each and handcuffed his wrists.
Shocked, Ian struggled. “What are you doing? Who are you to arrest me?!”
The officer pulled out an arrest warrant sternly and explained, “This is your arrest warrant. We have
enough reason to believe that you’re involved in smuggling goods. Please cooperate with our
investigation and follow us to the station.”
Ian roared. “No way! Derick was the one who did everything! It has nothing to do with me! I’m a victim
here!”
The officer replied coldly, “Derick Mallin is currently under investigation at the station. He has already
testified against all your crimes. I suggest you stop making unnecessary struggles.”
Ian was stricken, and his expression paled. He turned to glare at Jasper and roared, “This is all your
fault, Jasper! Since when did you conspire with Derick, huh?!”
Jasper tucked his arms behind him and replied plainly, “This is where you’re wrong. I didn’t conspire
with anyone at all. Derick Mallin was just enlightened and refused to be your puppet anymore. He
chose to tell the truth. That has nothing to do with me.”
Ian clenched his jaw and glared hard at Jasper, shouting, “Go to hell, Jasper!”
At that moment, Ben also saw Jasper from the side. With a sudden roar, he pounced at Jasper.
Jasper arched an eyebrow slightly but did not make any other move before Julian suddenly appeared
from behind him. With the flick of a hand, Julian had Ben pinned on the floor.
Then, two other police officers ran over and cuffed Ben as well.
“Let him go, he’s not mentally stable!” Ian shouted.
“We’ll decide whether he’s mentally stable or not. But with the evidence we have on hand now, your
son Ben is also involved in the smuggling of goods and must be brought away as well,” the officer
stated emotionlessly.
Ian felt his world go dark and crash all around him.
He stared at Jasper and laughed pitifully. “You’d go so far to destroy everything I have, but what do you
think you’ll get out of this, Jasper?”
Jasper looked at Vita calmly and asked, “Mr. Layne, I’d like to know what your bank thinks of my
previous suggestion?”
Vita chuckled and replied, “Sigh. Our bank loaned Ian two billion Somer Dollars, and now we can only
apply to seize all his company and assets. You’re a generous man, Mr. Laine. Since you’re willing to
repay this loan for Ian, then it’s only right that all his assets go to you.”
Ian was about to explode with infuriation at that.
“You’re all bloodsuckers! My company and assets have a value of at least 3.5 billion Somer Dollars!
What makes you think you can steal them with just two billion, huh?! In your dreams!”
“I disagree!”
Vita stated coldly, “I’m afraid it’s not up to you anymore, Mr. Hull.”
