Three days later, Hounslow News broadcasted that Han, the owner of a vineyard in the western suburbs, had been detained by the city’s western criminal investigation team for possession of private guns and ammunition, while a number of people associated with Sun Huck gradually surfaced.
“A few days ago, the new progress of the case of the defendant in the possession of a gun Han was a big surprise, the investigation process, found that Han was involved in the case of the Chambers family group president couple died in a fire five years ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate with the H side to apply for continued detention trial … ”
“The latest development of the gun possession case, Han held guns from the Austin Group president Austin a certain, Austin a certain to group overseas projects as a cover, private smuggling of armaments …”
A month in a row, a small gun possession case do not know how many companies Hounslow how many people, including those who once pulled Joziah Austin into the gang, there are Joziah Austin tricked into the gang and then difficult to return, who did not expect just a gun, will uproot everyone.
And a small gun, naturally, is not so useful.
The night before Chinese New Year, on New Year’s Eve, Lucy Chambers accompanied Farren Austin to visit Joziah Austin in the detention center.
During the afternoon, Erlina Lee had already made a visit and heard from the detainee that Joziah Austin refused to see her and she waited outside for two hours before finally going back.
Farren Austin has a special status, and even if Joziah Austin does not want to meet, he must meet.
In the interview room, Joziah Austin had handcuffs on his hands, and even with the red stripes of the detention center, he still had the air of an aristocrat on him. After the guards brought him in, they sat him down on the side of the barred window, and then gave Farren Austin a salute and withdrew.
‘Bang’ closed the door, a room separated by iron windows then fell into silence.
“It’s New Year’s Eve, and these are the dumplings Mom asked me to bring you.” Farren Austin’s tone was inaudible, and he took the dishes out of the food box, which contained a bowl of dumplings, resting on the table in front of the barred window, steaming hot.
Joziah Austin was indifferent and even had a bit of sneer on his face, “Why pretend, are you still going to tell me by now that I’m sitting here today and it has nothing to do with you at all? My good brother.”
Indeed, Joziah Austin was arrested so smoothly, with all the evidence so complete that he had no chance to practice his defense, because Farren Austin had long ago put all his crimes on file and submitted them.
“You go your Yang Guan Road, I crossed my only wooden bridge, I told you long ago, we brothers do not do, you also do not block my way, but you did not do it, brother.”
“You are smuggling ordnance, is it more than a one-way street?” Lucy Chambers couldn’t help but interject, “Joziah Austin, do you think the whole world has wronged you, you made the Austin family fly apart, and played down the Austin, is that not enough? What else do you want?”
Joziah Austin swept her up, “Yo, didn’t pay attention, almost didn’t recognize it, this is my … new sister-in-law?”
Lucy Chambers’ brow furrowed.
Joziah Austin said, “There is no happier man in the world than my brother, who obviously has the same wife, but can still switch bodies after sleeping with her for a few years.”
“You shut up.” Lucy Chambers grimaced.
Farren Austin’s face was also unpleasant, “Lucy, get out of here.”
Lucy Chambers didn’t give a damn about Joziah Austin, she had other things to do, so she nodded, gave Joziah Austin a hard stare, and headed out.
Soon after she went out, Farren Austin asked, “You did the military exercises back then, didn’t you?”
It’s not really a question, just a statement of fact.
Whether Joziah Austin admits it or not, it’s a fact he’s already established.
“No wonder you hate me so much, you’ve found out all about it?”
“Why?”
“And you ask me why?” Joziah Austin’s face was gloomy and sullen, “What would you do if you were me, growing up in the midst of my mother’s disgust, my father’s indifference, my brother’s indifference, and my sister’s mockery? Do you still think the world is kind? You still want to protect this country?”
Joziah Austin is like being lit on fire, suddenly all those long-held grievances poured out, who cared about his feelings over the years.
If he could grow up like Farren Austin, with all the love and expectations, he could also become a man of integrity and steadfastness.
“I’m not here to accuse you,” Farren Austin’s voice was deep and calm, “and I’ve never asked you to forgive anyone who has hurt you, but you retaliated, and how did that turn out?”
The result?
Joziah Austin clenched his fist, “Success or failure, I have nothing to say.”
“It turns out you didn’t let yourself go,” Farren Austin looked at him, his gaze cold and resolute, “You blame everyone for not giving you a good life, but there’s no one to threaten you anymore these days, and you’re living a better life than before?”
It’s just self-delusion.
Joziah Austin’s face grew harder and harder, as if he had been poked through his rotten heart, unpacking all his tattered emotions to reveal them all to the one person he hated most.
Farren Austin is not a talkative person, “Consulted with a lawyer, life sentence will be more likely, but if good behavior in prison, there is a chance to fight for probation, you’re on your own.”
After saying that, he got up and left.
A few moments later, prison guards came in to take Joziah Austin away.
He looked blankly at the bowl of dumplings on the table in front of him, which was already a little cold and no longer overflowing with heat, and he said, “Can it wait, dumplings, I haven’t eaten yet.”
Today is New Year’s Eve, the north is always to eat dumplings.
After Farren Austin went out and waited for a while, he saw Lucy Chambers come out of another interview room.
“Done talking?” He asked?
“Well,” Lucy Chambers nodded a little, “there’s nothing to talk about, he’s already got some mental problems, and that fire at the villa, he won’t admit he had anything to do with it, so there’s nothing more to talk about.”
“Where’s Liam Gellar?”
“He was afraid to see me and refused to meet with me.”
“If you want to see him …”
“No,” Lucy Chambers lifted her shoulders, then lowered them deeply, exhaling a breath, looking relaxed, “I’ve been holding on to the past for too long, now that the truth is all understood, for those who have harmed me, I’m not interested in knowing exactly why they want to harm me. Why do they want to harm me, in any case, it will not be my problem, right?”
Maybe she was once cold as a person, but that is definitely not a reason for others to mutilate her.
One can reflect, but one must not over-reflect.
After looking at her for a long time, Farren Austin took her hand, “Come on, it’s New Year’s Eve, don’t keep everyone waiting too long, we should go back.”
“Hmm.”
Before New Year’s Eve, Max Zhou gave birth to a big baby, which directly delayed everyone’s trip back home, so they all stayed at the Gellar Mansion for New Year’s Eve.
When Farren Austin and Lucy Chambers arrived, Emily Guan pulled Lucy Chambers away, “Come with me to see the little fat guy, it’s hilarious, go go go.”
“Hey, so my husband …”
“Let the stinky men play off to the side.”
“…”
