Surprisingly, Christopher’s office was not locked and could be entered easily.
Axel stood in the middle of the room, his eyes sweeping the office with a chill and his heart growing tense with each look around.
The fact that Christopher dared to leave the office unlocked meant that all the important documents had already been destroyed, leaving behind only an empty shell.
Jeffrey, visibly nervous, stood behind Axel and said, “Mr. Thompson, Chairman Iverson already emptied out this place a while ago. Do you still want to search it?”
Axel’s eyes were sharp, and his voice rang with resolve. “Search!”
The team immediately began tearing through the office in a thorough search.
Axel refused to give up because, over the years, he had encountered numerous unusual cases, particularly involving embezzlement.
The methods for hiding illegal funds were just as diverse and unpredictable as those used in drug trafficking. Given this experience, he knew that this seemingly ordinary office might be hiding a secret passage or hidden compartment.
After all, how could someone as prominent as Lance not have a backup plan?
Axel was determined, not willing to give up. He picked up the books on the shelf and flipped through them quickly to check for hidden inserts.
He meticulously scanned through the books on the shelves, row by row, from top to bottom.
Sweat glistened on his brow, but he persisted with unwavering determination, unwilling to give up prematurely.
“Mr. Thompson, there’s nothing here!”
“Nothing on my end either!”
The subordinates were frustrated. “This office must have been cleared out in advance. We were a step too late!”
Axel furrowed his brows, anger simmering in his chest as he took a slow breath in and out.
