The division chief looked out the door at this time. When he saw the Maybach parked at the door, he stood up straight immediately, and as he straightened out his clothes, he smiled and said, “Could it be that the leaders from the city police department are here? Or could it be that the councilman is here? Guys, straighten out your clothes. Perhaps the media will be here soon as soon as the big shot comes!”Everyone immediately became excited. One of them hurriedly said, “Quick! Hurry up and clean up the pizza, fried chicken, and nuggets on the table. Don’t let the media take a picture of that!” The people inside got excited and busy. Meanwhile, the person in the passenger seat of the Maybach got down. It was a young man in a suit. After getting out of the car, he hurriedly walked to the back and opened the rear car door. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man with white hair, an upright figure, and a grim expression came out of the car.When everyone in the police station saw h
Jakel and his assistant then walked to the interrogation room.As soon as the police officer pushed the door open, Jakel immediately said to the two police officers in charge of the interrogation, “Guys, the interrogation is over now. From now on, I want to communicate with my client in private. Please leave.”The two police officers in charge of the interrogation recognized Jakel immediately. They were too shocked to speak, but their colleague, who had just opened the door, quickly said, “Come out quickly and let Mr. White speak to his client in private.”Only then did the two men nod hastily and then rush to pick up the transcript and run out the door. Jakel said to the police officer next to him, “My client doesn’t understand American law, and she has a language barrier. She hasn’t met with her lawyer yet, so if there are any threatening or inducing elements in your transcript, you’d better invalidate it. Don’t let me catch anything, otherwise, I will definitely challenge it in
“F*ck...”The division chief suddenly felt his heart beating frantically at this moment. ‘What the hell is this situation?! How can Mad Dog White bring up the topic of racial discrimination in just two sentences?!’In the United States, the police were most afraid of the words ‘racial discrimination’. Once things reached the level of these two words, things would immediately rise to the most serious level.The police officer involved would not only be expelled from the police force, but even his own division chief might be subject to very serious disciplinary action. In the case of a mass incident, the division chief could only take the blame and resign.So, he quickly explained to Jakel, “Mr. White, this matter has nothing to do with racial discrimination. The most important reason is because this case is really serious, so my subordinates were eager to investigate the whole situation and ins and outs of the incident so that the mastermind could be arrested as soon as possib
This was Charlie’s intention.After all, Elaine was not just Elaine but also Charlie’s mother-in-law. Even if this matter was finally resolved in the end, Charlie did not want others to know that his mother-in-law had been involved in such a ridiculous and absurd scam. On one hand, he could not afford to lose this person, and on the other hand, if this matter were to end up becoming a big deal and Elaine was known at an international level, as her son-in-law, people might also end up investigating him.Therefore, Charlie’s request was to solve this problem in a low-profile manner instead of making too much action.The reason why Jakel had said that was also to attack instead of defending. People like Jakel knew that he could never let his opponent know of his true demands.Once his opponent found out that he did not want this matter to be exposed, the opponent would definitely use this matter to test his bottom line. So, instead of that, it would be better for him to countera
No one had treated Elaine with respect ever since her arrest.The combination of her injury and fear had caused a great negative impact on her body and mind.When Elaine saw Jakel speaking so respectfully to her now, she instantly burst into tears with excitement.She cried as she said extremely aggrievedly, “They not only hit me and scolded me, but they also threatened and intimidated me... I already told them many times that I was deceived and I did not know what was in that suitcase, but they were still very impatient with me as if I’m a criminal... They are simply too much...”When the division chief who was aside heard this, he was stunned, and he rebuked immediately, “B*stards! Why didn’t you send Madam Elaine to the hospital in time?! Why did you continue interrogating Madam Elaine even though you knew that she was injured?! Besides, how did Madam Elaine even get injured, and who caused it? Step forward now and tell me clearly!”Everyone was so nervous that they did not kn
After Jim had left, the division chief hurriedly looked at Jakel with a flattering expression and said, “Mr. White, I will arrange for someone to take Madam Elaine to go see a doctor first. I will also communicate with my superiors about the media and ask them not to notify the media about this matter for the time being. We should be unified to keep silent before the media first. As you know, there are also too many issues related to racial discrimination in American society now, and there are also various continuous protests going on. So, we should not be adding chaos to the general environment. What do you think?”Jakel glanced at the division chief and said lightly, “If you can give my client enough humanitarian treatment, I can keep this matter from the media for the time being, but I also reserve the right to notify the media.”When the division chief heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “In that case, we will arrange medical treatment for Madam Ela
As Jakel was accompanying Elaine to the hospital, Charlie was on his way to New York.Jakel reported the situation to Jordan promptly, and Jordan then reported the situation to Charlie immediately. According to Jakel, he would only be able to apply for one to two days of hospital treatment time for Elaine at most, but Elaine would have to attend the preliminary hearing after the hospital treatment was over. During the preliminary hearing, the judge would make a ruling on whether Elaine could be released on bail based on the general circumstances of the case. If she could be released on bail, the judge would give a bail amount, and as long as the money was available, she would be able to temporarily regain her freedom.However, according to Jakel, the amount of contraband involved in Elaine’s case was too large, so bail was basically impossible. This meant that Elaine would temporarily be held in a detention center after the preliminary hearing.Similarly, the United States a
Charlie then said again, “There is one more thing.”Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please speak up.”Charlie said seriously, “Help me investigate an Oskian person named Lucy Cardy in Providence. She looks like she’s in her fifties, and I believe she is using a fake identity. However, since she has used this fake identity to live in Providence, she must have left some clues behind. So, I need you to help me find out this person’s current whereabouts as soon as possible.”Having said that, Charlie instructed again, “Also, their gang should have a counterpart here in New York. Find a way to investigate the surveillance at the airport and find out who exactly interacted and had contact with my mother-in-law. After that, find a way to find out her whereabouts as well. It’d be best if you can catch the person directly.”“No problem!” Porter said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. You can leave everything to me!” Charlie knew very well that Lucy would definitely find a wa
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
