Chapter: 1313

Ivan's eyebrows knitted together.

"There's one more thing you need to know, sir. The investigation team asked Mr. Sullivan to sign the agreement for them to able to investigate the headquarters. And it seems like they're not just investigating the project in Baltimore this time. It Looks Like they're also investigating all the projects that the Sullivan Group has handled in the past five years. They've also asked permission to access the files in the core data bank."

‘The core data bank?!

This was the second time someone had asked for permission to access the core data bank of the Sullivan Group recently.

The first one was Wallace.

During the past decade, nobody had ever asked for it. But just this past month, there had already been two instances.

Carson raised his eyebrows. As far as he could tell, only contracts and dust were in the core data bank. He had no idea why those people were so interested in it.

Just as the saying went, bad news indeed traveled fast.

As soon as the investigation team had asked Victor to sign the agreement, a bunch of rumors spread. Some said that the investigative team was stationed at the headquarters of the Sullivan Group. Others claimed that new information had been discovered by the investigative team.

While Carson was drinking water, his phone rang a dozen times. Many wanted to extract more information from him.

He rubbed his nose and said, "Let's go inside and check on the patient."

Ivan had just responded to the message sent by the department manager who asked about the investigative team. Just as he was about to follow Carson into the bedroom, his phone rang.

Carson inadvertently glanced at the screen of Ivan's phone.

He noticed that it was a call from the manager of their company's public relations department. He probably couldn't get through to

Carson, but didn't have the courage to call Victor. Thus, he decided to call Ivan, the only person who could contact those two.

“Answer the phone," Carson commanded, knitting his eyebrows together.

"Victor and I don't have anything important to talk about right now, but I want to have a little chat with him."

The investigative team had come to the hospital, which wasn't a good sign in everyone's eyes.

As a matter of fact, it was true. The Sullivan Group had a deep- rooted foundation. If something happened to the company, it would have a big impact in the industry. For that reason, the investigative team had to be very careful with every step they took. This meant that the team only came to the hospital after a thorough consideration, and it was very likely that they had found something wrong.

The worker who fell off the building was grievously injured, and was still in a coma.

The director of the purchasing issued a public apology and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

There were two casualties already, and the matter was getting out of hand.

Even though this was clear to Ivan, he knew damn well that he shouldn't panic. If he were to show even a tinge of agitation, the entirety of the Sullivan Group could collapse.

And so, Ivan nodded and picked up the phone. While Listening to the manager of the public relations department over the phone, he went to the balcony.

Carson withdrew his sight from Ivan and opened the bedroom door.
