The girl gave it a thought before replying, “Well, he was too fast for me to see. I couldn’t react in time, so I couldn’t get a good look on his face. Still, I’m pretty sure he’s an Oskian. He’s around the average height and quite thin. He’s very agile, too.”The police sounded helpless. “An Oskian around the average height, and quite thin… These people are everywhere in Oskiatown! If you don’t have any detailed descriptions, it’ll be difficult to catch him.”Then, he explained, “As you know, purse-snatching is a common problem in New York. Many had their phone, laptops, and bags snatched. There are at least a thousand cases daily, and it’s hard to catch the perpetrators.”The other policeman was looking around the shop while the two spoke. Then, he pointed to one of the surveillance probes facing the door and said, “The incident happened in front of this store. In that case, this surveillance probe must have captured it, right? If we can have an image of the criminal, it’ll be rela
“I think so,” Janus’s face was grim as he continued solemnly, “Did you see that woman and the two police officers earlier? They were acting because they wanted to get the surveillance video from my shop. Since they went through that trouble, I’m sure they have other plans for it.” Charlie became a little curious and asked, “Janus, how can you tell that she and the two police officers were acting?” Janus explained, “A middle-aged Oskian man came to my shop as soon as it opened. The man casually ordered a meal and kept staring at the three surveillance cameras in the shop. Think about it. Why would any person care to observe the surveillance cameras in a small restaurant? At first, I thought he wanted to steal some cash from me. If not, then he’s probably a plain-clothes police officer.”Charlie asked, “What happened after that? Did he leave right after eating?”“Yes,” Janus said. “That man ate quickly and then paid for his meal. He left in a hurry. Afterwards, he quickly removed t
Charlie was impressed at Janus’s attention to the minute details. He praised, “I guess they must think they’ve done a great job. Still, they couldn’t deceive you.” Janus waved his hand humbly. “You’re praising me too much, Mr. Wade. I’m not that attentive, but I’ve been in Oskiatown for many years. I’m so familiar with this place that I can immediately notice if anything strange happens here.”Janus then added with a smile, “It’s no exaggeration to say that after staying in one place for a long time, I can even tell if the next door dog’s barks sound different from usual.” His tone changed into one of worry as he asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, why are the police paying attention to you? Did the Ten Thousand Armies leave any clues for them to track down?” Charlie shook his head. “The Ten Thousand Armies didn’t. Actually, I might have overlooked a small detail. I sent a girl with a sensitive identity to escort Jordan and Kathleen Fox back to New York. At that time, I didn’t think too m
Thinking about it now, Charlie didn’t have time to cover up his traces in the restaurant before. He was on the second floor of the restaurant when he heard about Keith’s critical illness. Right after, he requested Quinn to take the Healing Pill to Los Angeles and save his grandfather. Everything had been decided in a hurry.If Christian checked Quinn’s itinerary before and after arriving in Los Angeles, there was no doubt he would pay attention to Janus’s restaurant. Janus could see Charlie’s helplessness. He knew what Charlie was thinking, and comforted Charlie. “It was a life and death situation. You had no other better alternatives. Fortunately, your uncle shouldn’t have noticed your existence.” Charlie’s voice shook slightly when he replied, “I went to your shop with Nana. He’ll probably recognize me if he has the shop’s surveillance video. I guess Merlin sent someone to get the surveillance video here because he wanted to know who came with Nana, and to find out what’s so s
Charlie could see the determination blazing in Janus’s eyes. He knew he couldn’t force his Janus regarding this matter. If Charlie wanted Janus to let go of the past and move forward, he would have to leave the matter in Janus’s hands.Charlie could get the Ten Thousand Armies to escort Janus back to Hong Kong and make Shawn submit by force. Even so, Janus wouldn’t accept it. He would never get over it. Charlie had thought of using a different rhetoric to convince Janus to come to Oskia with him. Janus had an agreement with Shawn not to return to Hong Kong, but he never said he wouldn’t return to Oskia. Even if Janus couldn’t go to Hong Kong, he could still follow Charlie to Oskia.Charlie could use Janus’s help in the Wade Group. Shawn might eventually learn about Janus’s return, but with the Wade Group’s support and influence, he wouldn’t be able to question it.Despite these thoughts, Charlie held back and didn’t express his suggestion.He understood Janus well. With Janus’s c
When Janus heard that Charlie was leaving, he had an extraordinarily complicated expression.Although he had only just met Charlie, due to the fact that Charlie’s father had been kind to him and because he also appreciated Charlie’s personality very much, Janus had developed very kind feelings toward Charlie.In particular, when Janus saw that Charlie was now strong and had achieved remarkable results, he felt sincerely gratified for Curtis. At a certain moment, he even had the idea of serving Charlie to repay Curtis’ kindness.However, after thinking about it again, he felt that he was just an illegal immigrant who had been selling roast goose in Oskiatown for more than ten years, whereas Charlie was already a top billionaire worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In this case, he was too embarrassed to speak up to offer his gratitude.After all, the difference in their strengths was too great, and even if Janus really had the passion to repay Charlie’s kindness, in the eyes of
Charlie nodded slightly and instructed, “Get your subordinates to evacuate in an orderly manner. Don’t leave any clues for the New York police.”Porter hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I have already arranged for my subordinates to deal with this place thoroughly, and no clues will be left behind.”Charlie looked at the villa and said, “Why don’t you just spend some money to buy this villa that you’ve rented and keep it as Ten Thousand Armies’ stronghold in New York for future use.”“Okay!” Porter agreed immediately and said, “In that case, I will ask my subordinates to talk to the agent today and buy it as soon as possible.”After that, Porter spoke again, “Mr. Wade, I think that New York hasn’t been very peaceful recently. Do I need to leave some people here to help Miss Fox?”“No need.” Charlie waved his hand and said, “Kathleen Fox has just become the head of the Fox family. If I were to keep people by her side at this time, others would look at it and think that I’m de
At this moment, Merlin had two things on his mind.The first was to hurry up and arrest the murderer who was responsible for the massacre in New York over the past two days, bringing him to justice. The other was to help his good buddy, Christian, find out what secrets Quinn was hiding.At this moment, he had Fox Group under full control, and it was only a matter of time before Rosalie was found. So, he was really looking forward to good news from his subordinate when he received this call.However, the voice on the other end of the phone said helplessly, “Chief, we did a whole play according to your instructions, but I didn’t expect that there would be no hard disk in the surveillance video recorder of that roast goose restaurant.”“No hard disk?!” Merlin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he blurted out, “Why is there no hard disk?! Was it taken away in advance?”The subordinate replied, “The feedback from the colleague that I sent out reported that
