"The other party is very crafty, constantly switching virtual IP addresses. Every time they show up, the location is different. The only thing we can lock onto is LA, and that’s only because our tech department spent three days cracking the code," Leader Yuan reported, his brow furrowed.
"As for the other one, we can’t trace it no matter what," he added.
It was rare for the Action Group to be at a loss. The last time they encountered such a situation was three years ago.
Carl lowered his gaze, his voice low and lazy. "Perhaps we should think differently—start by looking into the Adler family’s enemies."
"Enemies of the Adler family?" Leader Yuan immediately grasped the idea. "So, you’re suggesting this is a personal vendetta?"
Carl remained standing, his gaze darkening. "So far, no organization has publicly claimed responsibility for this event. The whistleblower appearing as they did doesn't seem like a simple act of
Elder Yin observed his grandson's handsome face. "You seem to be in a good mood?"Carl paused, his fingers stilling on the prayer beads. "Do I?"Elder Yin picked up his tea cup. "The house has been stolen, and you're still smiling. If that's not being in a good mood, then what is it? You brat!"Carl knew his grandfather was still upset with him for not taking better care of his health. He poured a cup of tea. "Grandpa, James should have already told you about my recent health status... and some of the people I've met."Elder Yin looked up, refusing to admit anything. "James is your bodyguard. Why would he tell me these details?""You're right, Grandpa," Carl said with a smile.Elder Yin was truly tired of playing this game of cat-and-mouse with his grandson. The Jenkins family was known for being straightforward, except for this troublesome brat of his, who was cunning in all the wrong ways!"Fine, just tell me—who among the peo
"Those born with an extremely noble fate, such fate is often short-lived."Elder Yin felt a twinge in his heart, but he didn’t stop his grandson. the Cromwell family’s granddaughter had yet to be found, so the decision about marriage would have to wait until they found someone. But to have such an outstanding grandson, yet not a single person to stand by him all these years…Elder Yin sighed deeply, his face showing a rare expression of guilt. "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have…""Grandpa." Carl interrupted him, his dark eyes softening with a hint of warmth. "You know I’ve never blamed you. If the Jenkins family ever needs someone to shoulder a responsibility, I’d rather it be me."Elder Yin, his hand shaking on the dragon-head cane, didn’t speak for a long time. He looked at his grandson, who seemed as clear and radiant as the wind and the moon, and sighed deeply.Everyone admired the Jenki
Mary immediately stood up, her voice loud and clear, "Mia, what's wrong? Why did you come out by yourself? Where's your teacher?"Mia grabbed her hand and lowered her voice, "Mom, let's talk later when we get back."Mary wasn't stupid. Realizing something had happened, she quickly said to the other wealthy ladies, "This child’s old anemia problem has flared up again. I need to take her back immediately."The other ladies exchanged glances.Did they think they were fools?Anemia? Could it be that Mia was eliminated in advance?Mia, understanding the situation, leaned weakly into Mary's arms, "Mom, I’m a little short of breath, but don’t worry, I haven’t embarrassed you. The consultation is over."With such a big incident, the consultation couldn't possibly continue.It had to be said that Mia was smart, able to quickly assess the situation.Within five minutes, the doors to the inner hall were wide
"I've told you so many times, that’s not your sister!"Mary seemed to be unable to tolerate having Amelia as a fake daughter any longer, her voice growing louder. "Mia, you’re still young, you don’t understand. Once a person becomes poor, they’ll find a way to stick to you. You say she’s changed? It’s just because she’s trying to make a living."Mia frowned. "But she really knows medicine, and even Old Master Yin came to see her."Mary was taken aback. "You mean the Jenkins family chose her?"Mia bit her lip. "Not exactly. She’s working with the Hart family. It’s their young master who's standing out."Mary sneered, "So she’s attached herself to the Hart family. I underestimated that poor old woman. Now, before she dies, she's willing to use her connections!"Mia's eyes flickered. "So Grandma’s medical skills really are good, right?"Mary snorted, "She’s killed pe
"Your young master?" Yun Xiao stared in surprise, his eyes widening. "Why would Young Master Jenkins want to see her?"This question made everyone still present turn back in surprise. Did they hear that correctly?Young Master Jenkins? Wanting to see that "fake young lady"?The bodyguard in black spoke curtly: "There are items belonging to the Milton family that need to be returned."Ah, so it’s just about returning something.The others exchanged glances and relaxed. It made sense—there was no way Young Master Jenkins would know a small-town "fake daughter."Henry stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Amelia. "I’m going with her."After all, he had promised to protect her, and he intended to follow through.The bodyguard in black responded stiffly: "Sorry, sir, but Young Master only invited Miss Ye.""I’m not Ye," Amelia said calmly. She pressed a button on her phone in her pocket, her
After writing, Amelia grabbed the wooden box and walked out the door.As for her handwriting, it was terrible—she didn’t care whether the recipient could read it or not.Sister Wan’s approach was all about surface etiquette.As for Young Master Jenkins… sending a gift, making it seem like he had discovered her.Amelia thought to herself that she would need to avoid this person in the future. But that pen was nice, studded with diamonds.Cultural people, after all, were all about money!Unbeknownst to Carl, his actions had backfired.As soon as Amelia left, he entered, having watched the surveillance footage all afternoon. His handsome face now showed signs of fatigue."Young Master," the bodyguard in black stepped forward, "Miss Cromwell only took the the Heart Herb, nothing else."Miss Cromwell? Carl raised an eyebrow. "Amelia," he murmured to himself. "As in the Amelia of the 'Qin Huai at dusk,
At 6 p.m., it was rush hour.The streets were filled with cars, though ClearWater Alley was not congested, just full of people chatting casually."Have you heard?""Heard what?""The doctor from the big hospital across the street was arrested.""Oh, it was the Adler family causing trouble again," Emma, who had just returned from buying vegetables, commented. "I think they came to bully Lady Milton last time on purpose!""I think so too! The news said that family is a bunch of parasites. A lot of patients have been taken advantage of by them!""She even suppressed her fellow doctors. Lady Milton must have suffered because of her!"Emma glanced over. "Now you know! Last time, they were all talking in front of Amelia!""Lady Milton has been living here for so long, and nothing ever happened.""Last time, when my stomach hurt, I couldn’t even afford the medication from the big hospital. Lady Milton made me some
“Amelia!”From a distance, Lady Milton interrupted whatever Amelia was about to say, her face beaming with joy."Tell Qi to bring more water and help Emma and the others soak their feet."Amelia naturally withdrew her hand, smiling lightly. "Alright."She decided to let Qi's matter slide for now—it wasn't urgent. As long as the medicinal herbs were being used frequently, there wouldn’t be any noticeable issues…That night, the aroma of dinner wafted through the alley.It was clear that today had been one of the happiest days for Lady Milton in recent times. She was wearing her reading glasses, gently massaging her neighbors’ shoulders, her hands steady as she worked. Whenever the patient said they felt better, she would follow with a smile.Amelia raised an eyebrow, waiting until Emma and the others had left before she helped Lady Milton to her feet and spoke up. "Grandma, let’s get back to p
The receptionist was acting strangely. It was as if they didn't even recognize her anymore. She had to ask for permission just to enter her own company. But overall, Mary was still in a good mood. The massive live stream traffic was almost hers, and soon, she’d be making money in her sleep. This small setback didn’t bother her. "You know, when I gave that girl face before, letting her leave and even giving her money—now that I think about it, I should’ve dealt with her like this. If she’d gone to jail, she’d have learned that without the Milton family, she’s nothing." Mary placed her coffee cup on the table, a smug look on her face. Jackson didn’t care about anything else. He only cared about one thing: "Did you go see the old lady? What did she say?" "What could she say? Of course, she’s going to try and save her," Mary said lazily,
Any article or video related to the girl, any reposts or clicks—Orange Entertainment made money. The more people discussed her, the more they hated her, the more money they made. It was an innocent disaster for the girl. Strawberry_d sued them for defamation, but it was all in vain. Tracking down the real identities of the internet trolls was unrealistic. Moreover, the law couldn’t punish the masses. There were so many people attacking her online. In the end, Strawberry_d broke down, saying, "Is it only when I’m dead that you’ll believe me?" Orange Entertainment took full advantage of the situation, spreading more rumors. "People who threaten to kill themselves never really do." "She’s just pretending to be unbearable." "Go ahead and die, let’s see." Such comments flooded the girl, drowning her i
"Of course," Director Noah’s eyes were sharp. he shuddered inside and confessed everything about their plans. He didn’t know the details about the online aspect, but the so-called "drug-induced coma" witness was indeed arranged by him. The plan was created by Mary. They intended to strike when the live stream of Harmony Clinic went live, at its peak viewership. They would arrest people on-site! In this way, regardless of whether Amelia was convicted in the end, her reputation as a medical practitioner would be tarnished forever! After all, this young girl came from a remote village. How could she possibly resist? Resistance would be seen as not cooperating with law enforcement. Once they took her into the station, how they dealt with Amelia would depend on her "attitude" or how well she could beg Mary to be satisfied. No matter the result, they could tear Ameli
"I’ve been through it, I understand. Once the case is filed, it’ll follow her for the rest of her life. She’s still young, and just starting her medical studies. She can’t have her future ruined like this."Mary was fully aware of this, which is why she was so confident.Grandma Victoria would definitely give her the live stream account.In Grandma Victoria’s heart, her granddaughter’s future was more important than anything else."Where do I sign?" Grandma Victoria’s voice was flat.Mary smiled brightly, guiding her: "Here, and here. After you sign, just leave your fingerprint.""How can you prove you can keep Amelia safe?" Grandma Victoria was cautious on this point. "Just mentioning the Crawford family? The Crawford family is in the capital, how can they interfere in LA ?"Mary cursed in her heart when she heard this. Grandma Victoria was difficult to handle."Of course, I’m not just mentionin
Grandma Victoria was extremely anxious.After all, three hours had already passed.She had no idea what was happening at the police station right now.She had tried asking around, but everyone said the situation was complicated.Mary was indeed clever, and she knew how to pick the perfect moment.She deliberately chose to act when Amelia wasn’t around—she considered that quiet little mute girl to be an inconvenience.Mary wasn’t in a hurry. She just casually scrolled on her phone in front of Grandma Victoria: "Mom, look at this—how many people online are criticizing you.""This matter with Amelia isn’t going to end so easily. Think about it carefully—she assaulted an officer!"Mary tapped on a comment: "Look at this one. It’s so accurate. A poor girl who rose to fame online dares to look down on the heroes of the people. Such streamers should all be arrested and sentenced to a heavy crime!"Grandm
Now, the middle-aged woman has already collapsed.When she took the money, she didn't say anything about Mr. Jones, or about any secretaries.She's uneducated and doesn't understand some of these terms.But she's not stupid!Anyone who can make Director Michael kowtow and beg to kneel down must be a big shot!How dare she speak up? She just wanted to leave while the gods were fighting.But unfortunately, this girl stood in a position that blocked her way, whether intentionally or unintentionally!The middle-aged woman looked at Amelia with reluctance!Amelia's words carried a hint of laughter: "The plaintiff is here, and I, the defendant, am also here. Mr. Johnson, Vice Mayor Jones, and Garrett to join in the trial together."Together?!Caleb feared this situation the most!If they really tried it together, nothing would be hidden anymore!Garrett glanced at him, with a natural aura of authority: "What does Vice Mayor Jones think?"He wanted to know how deep the waters of LA really were.Whether
“You can’t arrest him, no matter what!” Even the usually calm Vice Mayor Jones was riled up, his temper flaring.Michael was quite unique in this situation. He looked at Director Johnson and said, "Director Johnson, you know how diligent I usually am."At this moment, Caleb didn't want to hear any more of it. "Enough, Michael! Take him away!"He had originally planned to tidy up things before the new Secretary-General arrived, trying to cover up as much as he could and making sure everything was in order. He’d even given some tips here and there.As long as the water was deep enough, Garrett wouldn’t be able to find anything, and the new official wouldn't be able to make a big show.But now! This was practically giving the other side a reason to conduct a thorough investigation!He couldn’t let Michael talk any longer!The interrogators had already begun their actions. But just then, standing in the
In the circle, Mia had always maintained an image of a humble, orphaned girl.This was to emphasize her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant relative.Jackson had relied on this daughter to become a small contractor.Everyone’s impression of her stemmed from her perceived innocence and politeness, and she was seen as somewhat pitiful.As a young person new to the capital, she was in need of help, and some older people just wanted to assist her.However, no one expected that she was actually backed by the Crawford family!Now, it was clear that the Crawford family wanted to distance themselves from the Adler family ’s troubles and had cast her aside.Scholars exchanged glances, silently distancing themselves from her.Evelyn was still conducting investigations in LA . Adler had been very influential in the capital’s circles, but now he wasn’t even allowe
Garrett’s voice was cold: “Are you asking us to bribe you?”He knew LA was chaotic, but he never imagined that these people would dare to be so brazen!What had Vice Mayor Jones told him on the phone yesterday?He had claimed that LA had already solved these problems!Garrett clenched his fists. As far as he was concerned, everything here needed to be investigated!The experienced officer casually leaned back. “Accusing law enforcement of wrongdoing right off the bat? I don’t think we need to continue this interrogation!”With that, he put down his pen and stared at the three people.These three were difficult to handle. Even if they were interrogated together, there would be no result by nightfall.The officer’s gaze shifted, landing on Amelia. That was it.He didn’t believe that a young girl like her could withstand their methods of torture and forced confessions!
