Chapter 229: The Next Plan

In order to deal with this, the police department decided to set up barricades, and police checks on every road. It did not matter if it was a main road or not, but they decided to check on every person that was using the road.

They stopped others from entering the Eastern part of the city, only allowing those that were living to pass. With that, they were able to deal with just the people that were coming from the Eastern part of the city.

But, it was quite difficult for them to be able to deal with such a large number of civilians in the Eastern part of the city. As for where they were going to, the provincial government had already organized for somewhere that they were going to stay temporarily.

Of course, this was just a test that was being carried out, to see how efficiently they could carry out the crackdown, and deal with the criminal activities within the city. But, the method was definitely going to get more efficient in the other cities when the crackdown began in those cities.

Nonetheless, everybody was required to submit their identification cards. Then, the police would check on the information of the owner of that particular card.

Before the crackdown began, the police department had already made sure to upload the information on all the gangsters that were wanted. And with that, if the identification number of a person matched with that of a criminal, they would be immediately arrested.

The Crackdown continued for an entire week. With the police surrounding the entire Eastern part of the city, making sure that nobody could leave or enter, it was impossible for the gangsters within the city to even think about leaving the city and go to another one.

But of course, it was impossible for the police to be able to get each and every gangster. So, there were a few fish that had managed to escape the tight net that the police had set.

This immediately made the police to start chasing after them. At the same time, the courts began working efficiently, dealing with the cases related to these criminals.

Witnesses were called over, and judgment was passed for all those criminals that had been arrested as soon as possible. With that, they were sent to prison or other areas that they were required to serve their sentence.

….

Jaden had been staying within the Johnson residence for an entire week. He did not even go to school, considering that Scarlet did not. And that was something that made him relieved.

Though, there was one thing that he was not happy about. That was the fact that with the two of them staying within the residence, even after an entire week, there was not even a single mission that was generated by the system.

With that, it was impossible for Jaden to be able to maximize the utilization of the system while staying within the residence. It was also impossible for him to just ask Scarlet to go out, and look for trouble.

That would definitely be against the ethics of being a bodyguard. He was supposed to ensure the safety of his client, so, if he decided to start asking his client to throw herself in to danger, Clifford and Scarlet would definitely start doubting if he was working with the Williams or not.

Despite all that, Jaden's life within the residence had been quite relaxed. Other than instructing Scarlet and Sylvia in combat lessons, Jaden basically had nothing else to do.

The only people within the residence that were leaving occasionally were Clifford, his wife Lynette, Anthony, and Sylvia. As for Jaden, Scarlet and Steven, they continued remaining within the residence.

During the past few days, Jaden had been paying attention to where he could invest. But he had not yet found a suitable place that he could invest the money in.

But recently, he suddenly thought of something. What if he decided to take all the shares of the Nightstar Security company? It was not impossible for him to do that, right?

Because he had been thinking about this issue, he did not return the money to Matthew at all. Instead, he told him to wait for a few more days, before he could return the money with some interest on it.

As for what Matthew thought about this, Jaden did not pay much attention to it. In any case, he was thinking of using a strategy of frustrating the others, making them think that he wanted to make the company collapse.

If something like that happened, most probably, they would try to make him sell his shares, and leave the company. Or, they might as well try to sell the shares to him, so that they could not end up losing.

Jaden was hoping for the latter. He just hoped that they would think of him as a person that was irrational, and had only bought the shares of the company, because he wanted to splurge the company money.

And now, it was finally time for Jaden to look for a way of making this happen. So, he immediately went to Clifford, asking him if he could go out.

Of course, Clifford was surprised that Jaden wanted to go out. Nonetheless, he did not ask where Jaden wanted to go to, and allowed him to. In any case, he was not going to allow Scarlet to go anywhere, and so, there was no need for Jaden to be around for the time being.

As for Jaden's safety, it was not as if the entire city was in danger. Additionally, it was going to be quite difficult for those gangsters to be able to do anything to Jaden, considering his abilities.

Maybe if Jaden was having extremely bad luck, that would be a situation where he would end up being at the risk of receiving a stray bullet. But that was unlikely to happen, as long as Jaden did not enter the Eastern part of the city, which was also impossible considering that the police were barricading that part of the city.

Moreover, other than the Eastern part of the city that was currently dangerous, the other parts of the city were quite safe. In any case, the police could be seen patrolling the streets occasionally, and so, it was almost impossible for gangsters to start running rampant within the other parts of the city.

The moment that Jaden was allowed to leave, he made a call to Matthew. In just a few rings, Matthew received the call.

"Good morning Mr. Moore." Matthew's tired voice came from the other end.

"Good morning to you too Mr. Sibi. I was thinking of organizing for a meeting between me and the other shareholders. Do you think that it is possible for you to make it happen today?" Jaden greeted back, before going straight to the point.

Matthew was surprised when he heard that. Recently, he had been undergoing a lot of pressure from the other shareholders. They were all questioning his decision of giving Jaden the money, without consulting them.

They were shareholders. And no matter how small the shares that they held were, they still held much power as compared to Matthew. And so, they were currently pressuring Matthew to ask Jaden to pay back the money.

And if the money was not paid back, and it ended up affecting the operations of the company, he was the one that was supposed to pay for it. But how was Matthew supposed to do that? $103 million was not a small amount of money. It was impossible for him to be able to gather such an amount of money, unless he sold all of his assets.

But, he was definitely unwilling to lose everything, and become a beggar, just because of Jaden's decision. It was a mistake on his part on approving Jaden to take the money, without informing the other shareholders first, but what could he do? The money had already been given to Jaden, and Jaden had not yet returned the money to the company.

So, when Jaden suddenly asked to meet the other shareholders, Matthew could not help but think of the worst that could happen. Could it be that Jaden was not able to return the money to the company, and was thinking of a way of talking with the other shareholders, and get away with it?

But, this was definitely going to be the best outcome that Matthew would have ever expected. Considering that he could not continuously bother Jaden about returning the money, when Jaden was his boss, if Jaden could actually go ahead to deal with the other shareholders, then, it would be better for him.

As long as he could make sure that the other shareholders simply focused on Jaden, and pressed him so that he could return the money, it would be better. At least, those shareholders held much more power as compared to him.

"Certainly. I can do that. I'm pretty sure that within 2 hours, they will be here." Matthew responded, his voice seeming revitalized.

Of course, Matthew believed that the other shareholders would definitely come running over to meet with Jaden. Previously, they had asked to meet with Jaden, but Jaden had refused.

And now, if there was a way of meeting with the person that was spending their money, leading to a potential bankruptcy for the company, they would definitely not hesitate to come over.

The amount of money that Jaden had taken was not only supposed to be used for maintenance of the equipment that were used by the company, but it was also among the one that was used for paying the salary for the employees of the company.

And more than that, they had also taken loans in the name of the company. So, if the debts were not paid, the employees not paid, the equipment not maintained, the company was bound to collapse soon.
