Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 718 Deadline

Before Nakano was taken away—

"President Nakano!"

In front of the door of the president's office, bank employees were shouting names.

However, under the watchful eyes of the public, Nakano, who had just come out of his office, did not make any excessive comments, nor did he protest to the personnel of the Financial Services Agency and the Accounting Inspection Office. He still had a calm demeanor and did not seem to be worried about the upcoming investigation.

"Hanzawa, you said it well. The foundation of a bank is credit." Nakano said, "Therefore, today I must also be a trustworthy person."

Nakano walked up to Kurosaki.

Kurosaki didn't expect that the president of the Tokyo Central Bank would give up resistance like this. But no matter what, he would never let go of this opportunity.

The chief prosecutor said, "Regarding the suspected use of bank funds by Yoshizawa Trust to purchase Fukuda Real Estate's non-performing loans, President Nakano, as the person in charge, needs to accept the investigation and questioning of our Financial Services Agency."

"No problem." Nakano nodded.

At this time, many bank directors were already sweating profusely. You know, investigating and questioning a bank president at this level is not as simple as simply asking questions for a few hours.

In a sense, the Financial Services Agency will put Nakano under disguised house arrest for several days.

This is of course illegal.

However, no financial institution would dare to refuse such a request.

If you offend the Financial Services Agency, there will be no other result except making your life more difficult.

In other words, Nakano will have to go through several days of continuous questioning during his visit.

All the directors present were sweating.

Who knows if there will be any problems or changes during the questioning process?

Nakano looked at Hanzawa and said, "Regarding the matters entrusted to you by the board of directors, you still need to continue to work hard to investigate."

The bank president gave Banzawa some final instructions.

According to Nakano's statement at the board meeting, he did not participate in the false reporting of the financial statements, and Yoshizawa Trust had nothing to do with him. Nakano hoped that Hanzawa would continue to investigate and get to the bottom of the truth.

Hanzawa bowed slightly.

He didn't speak.

He also didn't expect Nakano to actually walk out of the office and take the initiative to take responsibility.

This is in stark contrast to the usual bad image of bank superiors.

Nakano...is he really someone who has the courage to take responsibility?

Hanzawa was a little dazed. He couldn't understand what the bank president said.

At this time, the law enforcement officers did not urge Nakano to hurry up. After all, they needed to give the bank president some time to handle the urgent matters that needed to be dealt with before leaving the bank.

Nakano and several directors of the bank, including Vice President Shirai, Yamato and others, briefly explained the arrangements for his absence and how to proceed.

After giving all the instructions, Nakano turned around and looked at the law enforcement officers present.

His eyes swept over Kurosaki and Yuuki.

Finally, it stopped at the lawyer, Kitahara.

Before leaving, Nakano came to Kitahara. The president knew that compared with previous inspections by the Financial Services Agency, this time the Financial Services Agency had one more consultant lawyer, Kitahara Yoshiichi. With the addition of such a consultant lawyer, first the bank employees were questioned until late at night, then the cash account of the head office business department was investigated today, and the joint law enforcement action with the Accounting Inspection Office, etc., this series of actions is obviously very different from the previous style of the Financial Services Agency.

It was probably this lawyer named Kitahara who caused so many unexpected things for the Tokyo Central Bank.

Nakano couldn't help but become curious about this lawyer.

In his experience, Nakano has never faced such a tough opponent from a regulatory agency.

He looked at Kitahara carefully.

The lawyer was a young man. But for some reason, Nakano had a feeling.

A feeling that I can't understand the lawyer in front of me.

"Thank you, Attorney Kitahara." Nakano gave a meaningful smile, "Thank you for your efforts in ensuring compliance for our bank."

Beiyuan nodded slightly and did not respond further.

Kitahara was also surprised that the bank president took the initiative to accept the investigation by the Financial Services Agency.

Kitahara and Kurosaki had similar thoughts. They were both surprised that the bank president did not take any substantial resistance.

Nakano straightened his back slightly and walked out slowly, with several law enforcement officers following him.

The president of the Tokyo Central Bank went down from the second floor to the first floor under the watchful eyes of bank employees, then walked through the lobby and got into the Financial Services Agency's official car at the door.

"Bang" sound.

The car door closes.

Through the car window, one could just barely see the outline of a person inside the car.

Nakano got on the Financial Services Agency's car.

The car started and drove away from the scene.

The disappearance of the official car heralded a period of chaos for the Tokyo Central Bank without a president.

Kitahara stood in front of the window, watching this scene unfold. Seeing President Nakano so calm, he had a feeling for some reason - could it be that the actions initiated by the Financial Services Agency and himself were all within the plan of the president?

……

……

……

"Hanzawa!! What the hell did you do!!!" Vice President Shirai said angrily.

After the Financial Services Agency and the Accounting Inspection Agency withdrew, the bank quickly held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

All the executives and directors present showed worried expressions.

If the president is really involved in any major violations during future questioning, the Tokyo Central Bank will face extremely severe penalties from regulators. At that time, it will really be a matter of life and death.

"Speak! Hanzawa!! You were in charge of investigating Yoshizawa Trust, and this is the final result?! How are you going to explain it! How are you going to be responsible!!" Shirai slammed the table hard.

The directors in the meeting room all looked at Banze.

"I think there is nothing wrong with President Nakano's decision," Hanzawa retorted directly, "The best way is to face the regulator with an honest attitude."

"Then tell me! How are you going to explain to the bank next!!" Shirai pressed further.

"I have been ordered by the bank president to continue investigating the matter of Yoshizawa Trust, find out the truth, and let the true nature of the incident come to light!!" Hanzawa said firmly.

When the bank's board of directors heard this, they were immediately furious.

Executives from the original industry faction attacked Hanzawa, claiming he was incompetent and demanded that he be removed from his post immediately.

Although the former Tokyo faction was angry that Hanzawa had stabbed the president in the back, they had no choice but to defend him because he was the person chosen by the president to investigate Yoshizawa Trust.

The whole conference room was in an uproar.

After criticizing each other, the two sides finally reached a compromise which was not really a compromise: if Hanzawa could not find out the truth about the Yoshizawa Trust case within the last two weeks, he would take responsibility for the Financial Services Agency's investigation and accept the personnel disciplinary action of being dismissed from the bank!
