NovelAppSurprisingly, 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.

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 hiddenpartment.
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.

Just as he was about to pick up the next book, his gaze suddenly froze.
There it was a black hardcover edition of "Das Kapital".
At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, he noticed a pinhole camera embedded in the spine, covering the entire office.
The camera was rechargeable, but it had been there so long that it had run out of power.

He tucked the copy of "Das Kapital" under his arm and strode purposefully toward the now visibly nervous Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey, since Chairman Christopher has given you full authority to manage the Iverson Group, you must be well-versed in its operations.e with us and cooperate with the investigation." In the past few days, the situation at Savrow had been tense, but Yara Park was filled with warmth and happiness.
