Barbara is very beautiful, probably because of the Lawrence family's bloodline. In short, these young people, even if they are not so handsome or beautiful, are very standard ordinary people, and there are not many ugly ones.

She is obviously the best in the family in terms of appearance. God indulgently did not let her inherit her father's belly, but inherited her mother's appearance when she was young.

In addition, she has a very good temperament, the kind of temperament unique to middle-class families, so she is very popular with the opposite sex in the company.

Everyone is willing to say a few more words to her.

When she came gracefully and asked this question, the manager's worried expression eased a little, but only a little.

"I can't contact the ministers anymore."

Barbara didn't react at first, "Maybe he's on a business trip... Did you just say 'they'?"

The manager nodded.

At this time, it was not yet 9:30 am business hours, and the company's doors were still tightly closed, with only employees inside.

Obviously, it was not only Barbara's manager who knew about this. Many other people also knew about it, and they were all discussing it.

Barbara inexplicably felt as if her heart was being squeezed in her palm by an invisible hand, making her heartbeat abnormal!

She covered her chest and looked at the manager, "Could it be... they played too late and fell asleep?"

She heard that several girls from the company had attended the carnival party last night.

The internal explanation was to celebrate their new victory and invited some people to participate.

Those girls didn't care anymore in order to curry favor with the company's senior management!

The financial circle is not clean. If Barbara's own family environment was not good and she didn't have to sell her body for money, she might have participated.

The assumption she put forward was valid, and the manager was not in a hurry to deny it, "I have sent someone to the villa to take a look, and news should be back soon."

The business of Baltz Investment Bank requires the signatures of these managers, so the business cannot be carried out without them, which is why they discovered that the management could not be contacted.

In fact, they already had some premonitions in their hearts, but they were just unwilling to believe it.

Barbara couldn't sit still anymore. She had just borrowed 60,000 yuan to invest in it. Although the interest rate was not low, it was still a bit worse than the monthly rebates brought by buying these products.

She leaned against the wall and sat on the sofa next to her. She felt her whole body trembling slightly.

A young man noticed her situation and took the initiative to ask if she needed help, but at this time, her attention was completely not here!

About ten minutes later, two company employees strode in from the side door. They looked terrified, "We went to their villa and didn't see anyone. All the valuables were taken away!"

With a crash, the entire hall was in chaos!

Barbara, who couldn't stand still just now, suddenly had a surge of strength in her body that made her stand up. Several managers immediately ran over. After confirming this matter again and again, they all fell into a state of confusion.

Suddenly someone asked, "Is the money in the bank still there?"

That's right!

If the money in the bank is still there, then these people are gone, and it can also explain that their disappearance has nothing to do with running away.

In fact, many people here understand that this is a scam, but they always think that they are also part of the company and they will not lose money.

Until this moment!

Immediately, a manager contacted Jin Gang Bank, and soon they received feedback from Jin Gang Bank that the company currently has about 400,000 in cash in its account.

However, a part of the 400,000 cash can be used, and the other part has been temporarily frozen to prepare for paying various bills.

Barbara instantly felt a darkness in front of her eyes, a little shaky, and slumped back onto the sofa.

The company was in chaos immediately. She felt dry and her heartbeat was erratic!

Their family had already invested 100,000, but the rebate money was reinvested, plus the 60,000 she borrowed!

She braced herself and rushed out of the street, squeezed into a phone booth, and used her last strength to dial her father's number, "The company's senior management took the money... and ran away!"

In the end, she was already crying a little. Her father was stunned for a while after hearing the news. 100,000 yuan, half a lifetime of savings were all smashed into it!

He was also heartbroken and couldn't breathe, but considering his daughter's condition, he could only ask Barbara to protect herself first, and he would drive over immediately.

After he hung up the phone, he made a call to William, "You were right, they ran away!"

"Who ran away?" William was riding on Emily, "I have important things to do. If you have nothing else, we'll talk later!"

"Baltz Investment Bank, they ran away!"

The phone was hung up. Naked William stood by the phone, looking at Emily who was hooking her fingers at him, and his mind was a little blank for a while!

"What are you dazed for? Come here, you haven't made me happy yet!"

William put down the phone, he hesitated a little, "Baltz Investment Bank ran away."

Emily didn't care so much. She walked over and put her arms around William's shoulders, and her legs directly wrapped around him, "Hold me tight..."

William cursed, "Fuck!", and then began to exert himself again.

More than ten minutes later, the battle finally ended, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "I have to go and see..."

Emily nodded in satisfaction, "Are you coming back for lunch at noon?"

"Probably not..."

"Then you can go!"

A little after nine o'clock, a large number of people had gathered outside Baltz Investment Bank. The news spread too quickly!

In almost less than twenty minutes, the news had completely spread!

Those who had been envious of others making a lot of money because they didn't have money to invest all showed schadenfreude smiles.

People are like this. The thing they hate most in this life is always that others make money, but they don't!

The happiest thing is almost the same, that is, others lose money, but they still don't!

Although there is no sense of participation, at least not being happy is better than being painful!

Many police officers also came, fearing that some problems would be caused. A large number of newspaper reporters appeared here. Those investors angrily threw stones at Baltz Investment Bank to vent their dissatisfaction, while shouting slogans such as "Return the money".

Tens of thousands of people, eight-figure funds were swept away. This incident had too much impact on Jin Gang City!

The police station continued to send people over to prevent the situation from escalating.

Barbara was already with her father, and she was so painful that she couldn't speak.

The whole person was in a daze. William was also here.

"Fortunately you persuaded me, William. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine such consequences!"

Although 100,000 yuan was gone, it was not enough to completely lose hope for a family like them.

Even if only tens of thousands of yuan are left, they are still better off than most families in this city.

Barbara kept wiping her tears. She felt that she had caused her family to lose so much money. What was even more troublesome was that other people in the family had also invested money at her call!

She didn't know what to do at all. She didn't even dare to tell her father that she had borrowed another 60,000 yuan.

William nodded and comforted, "Such a big thing, the city hall must have a way to deal with it, and didn't Barbara say that they have a lot of investment assets?"

"If these assets are real, they can also make up for some of the losses."

It's just that at this moment, both middle-aged men understand that those assets are probably also fake.

This is a complete scam. Obviously, they had a premonition, but in the end, they still fell into it.

It can only be said that desire and greed have blinded people's eyes, making them turn a blind eye to those dangers!

At ten o'clock, more and more investors who came from all over finally rushed into the company. They started looting, and the police did not stop them.

But even if they can take everything away, they may be able to make up for their losses. There are also some staff members who did not have time to leave, and were beaten by angry investors!

But beating people does not help the loss. Some people really put all their money into it, not to mention, some people borrowed money, even high-interest usury, and put the money into it!

Now that Baltz Investment Bank has run away, it is definitely a devastating blow to them!

If there is no way to help them recover their losses, then it is very likely that someone will jump off the building!

The entire Jin Gang City and even the entire state began to pay attention to this matter. I don't know if someone was guiding it. When someone shouted the slogan "Ask the mayor to help us", the angry crowd who had smashed the Baltz Investment Bank hall set off towards the city hall!

The news was also quickly gathered to the city hall. The mayor listened to the news reported by the secretary, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

After the secretary finished reporting, he slowly opened his eyes, "You see, the struggle is everywhere!"

The secretary lowered his head slightly to show that he was listening. This is actually a very rare "teaching", a valuable experience!

"More than half of the people in this city hall are from Wade and Williams. I haven't even heard of this matter. Someone has cut off the source of the news and trapped us here."

"If it were you, what would you do?" he asked the secretary.

The secretary frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly shook her head, saying, "There's nothing we can do. It's clear these people have already run off with the money."

"What I'm more worried about is whether there are other issues behind this, like, did they also join in?"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to transfer such a large sum of money so quickly and quietly. If that's the case, then they are just too despicable!"

"But I can't think of any way to make them become rational and calm. I think it's highly likely that they won't be able to get their money back!"

The mayor quite agreed with her judgment, "Yes, they won't get this money back, and that is the trouble they've left me with!"

Such an astonishingly large fraud case occurred in the city under his jurisdiction, and he didn't even know about it.

What will others think?

What will the citizens think?

What will the representatives of the Social Party at all levels think?

These people, they really deserve to die!
