After that, Alex Brown didn’t do anything else for three days, not even dealing with Bowen Bull, but taking care of Keira and Ivy Smith.
Three days later, all the other relatives of the Brown Family finally got the hang of it and agreed to his previous board meeting proposal to exchange their shares for shares based on their year of employment and then go through the exit process.
“Ten years of employment, exchange one percent of the shares, more than ten years only accounted for two percent, this move seems to be the shareholding spread out, but in fact, the real power firmly in their own hands.” When Ivy Smith learned of this, she smiled and congratulated Alex Brown: “Congratulations, Mr. Brown, for taking a big step closer to the goal of mastering the family.”
Alex Brown was not particularly surprised by the expected result, but showed some hesitation.
Seeing this, Ivy Smith said, “If you need help, just ask, I’m getting out of the hospital today anyway.”
Alex Brown took a deep breath, slightly helpless: “You guessed it again.”
Bowen Bull embezzlement and suspected theft should have been reported directly to the judiciary, but if evidence was submitted, it would have caused a furore, and the Brown Group’s situation had improved, but it could not withstand the onslaught of public opinion, so it had to find a reasonable opportunity to send Bowen Bull to the police station quietly and Then the matter will be handled confidentially.
That night, Ivy Smith was discharged from the hospital, and Alex Brown personally drove her home, choosing a road with few pedestrians, and before she knew it, there were several ghostly cars behind her.
“Here they come.” Ivy Smith reported the situation to Alex Brown through the rearview mirror.
A short distance ahead, the street lights were vandalized, and several high beams were bright in the darkness. He sensed the car behind him suddenly accelerating and crashing, and Alex Brown shouted a warning, “Sit tight!”
Boom!
Bang!
After several loud bangs, the car driven by Alex Brown and Ivy Smith was knocked off its original route until it was no longer possible to avoid it, and Ivy Smith was busy dialing Eric Chan’s phone.
In an instant, the road was lit up, and behind two super spotlights, Eric Chan was standing by with a group of bodyguards.
In a short time, the sirens sounded from all directions, and several cars were surrounded in the center with no escape.
After taking in a few mobsters, Bowen Bull finally got out of the car, and the officers immediately showed the handcuffs after retrieving a dagger and illegal gun from his pocket.
He entered the police station with evidence of embezzlement and theft waiting for him, prepared by Alex Brown.
Immediately after receiving the news, his family came running to plead for mercy.
At dawn, Mrs. Bull and her only son, Bob Bull, knocked on the door of the Brown Family home, begging to see Alex Brown.
Alex Brown was awakened from his sleep and was very irritable. He came downstairs and didn’t even have the patience to listen to their complaints, and threw down a sentence in a cold voice: “Leave everything to the police, I have no right to interfere.
“Alex … No, Mr. Brown! You are your own uncle’s sake, just spare him this time, OK?” Mrs. Bull pulled Alex Brown, and even made a move to kneel down.
Bob Bull, who was beside him, hurriedly stopped his mother and begged with humiliation, “Cousin, my father has been in the company for so many years, he has worked hard without merit, so we will pay for the loss of the company. For old time’s sake, at least let him back in!”
No matter how they pleaded, Alex Brown only had one word to say – no!
When Mrs. Bull was desperate, she actually pushed the girl who had been following her to him, she said with tears in her eyes: “Susan is an illegitimate daughter, let her follow you from now on to atone for her father’s sins … ”
He disgusted the girl pushed away, not waiting to reprimand, the girl has snatched the first to cry: “I do not want! Mom, brother, I know you do not like my existence, but please, I would rather go to prison to accompany my father, rather than like an object to be given to others!”
“What do you mean by ‘object’? You are lucky to serve Mr. Brown, don’t cry!” Bob Bull scolded coldly, even raised his hand and slapped the girl hard.
Alex Brown did not bother to watch the family drama, after glancing at Ivy Smith came downstairs, he told her in a quiet voice to get rid of people, and then shrugged off his hands and went back to his room.
After the girls cried miserably and ordered the bodyguard to drive them away, Ivy Smith sent someone to follow them secretly to see what other tricks they had.
But Ivy Smith’s “extra effort” did not reveal anything fishy, but made her heart soften.
Two hours later, Alex Brown was awakened again after a deep sleep.
Ivy Smith was sitting in the living room waiting for him, with the girl sitting beside her. Unlike when he left, the girl’s face had many bruises and her thin summer dress was torn, with Ivy Smith’s jacket draped over her shoulders to cover her up.
At this sight, Alex Brown frowned and looked uncomfortable: “Who let her in?”
“I did.” Ivy Smith glared at him, holding the girl’s hand and explaining, “Susan and those two just came home and got a beating in the yard and kicked out of the house, I …”
“So you just meddle?” Alex Brown questioned in no uncertain terms.
Ivy Smith understood his concern, but still looked at Susan Bull with sympathy in her eyes: “If I don’t care about her, should I let her sleep on the streets? She was kicked out earlier, and the next thing you know, she’s being bullied by a homeless man. Look at this dress and skirt …”
Susan Bull described wretched, obviously bullied, Alex Brown is also a person with a daughter, finally also moved to compassion.
“Leave her, related matters you are solely responsible for, if it reaches my ears, then immediately let her go!”
“No problem.” Ivy Smith agreed quite quickly: “Susan seems to be a good girl, earlier I want to bring her back, she has refused it. How can a girl like that get into trouble when she knows what’s going on, right?”
She smiled and looked into Susan Bull’s eyes, and said warmly.
In the evening, Hope visited Keira in the hospital after school. They played for a while, but Keira didn’t seem very happy.
At that moment, Emma Rosy came in with her dinner and was vaguely worried.
“Mom, can you hear me? Please, please call Daddy!” In the middle of a moment of concentration, Keira was already tugging at her arm, begging to talk to Alex Brown.
She pursed her lips and thought, hesitating slightly: “Your father … should be very busy, we should not …”
Keira interrupted with a face full of reluctance: “We’ll just talk for a few minutes, we won’t miss work, and Dad must miss me too!”
“But …”
“Geez, mom is a pain in the ass!” Keira threw her hands away and turned her back to sulk, muttering under her breath, “You obviously miss Daddy too, why don’t you admit it?”
Emma Rosy blushed as her heart was broken, rubbed her fingers in embarrassment, and continued to set up her lunchbox.
Compared to Keira, Hope was much more understanding, taking out her cell phone and saying, “Mom didn’t object, she’s just embarrassed, Keira, read out the number and I’ll call it for you.”
After the call was made, Keira was deliberately instructed: “When we talk later, remember to leave some time for mom.”
Keira nods expectantly at the phone, “No problem, I’m not as bad as mommy!”
Emma Rosy was completely embarrassed by the kids and had to deny it, “Keira misses him, I don’t talk to him.”
Hope narrowed her eyes with a wicked grin and reached over to turn on the outgoing call.
Beep, beep, beep…
The brief beep had ended during the mother-daughter bickering, and a woman’s voice came through the receiver.
Hope looks at Keira in confusion: “Did you remember the wrong number?”
Keira immediately shook her head.
Emma Rosy also found it strange, this voice is obviously not Ivy Smith, but Alex Brown’ two assistants are men, how can there be a strange woman?
Perhaps it took too long to answer, but the other person continued to ask: “Young lady, are you looking for Alex? He’s in the shower, why don’t I ask him to call you back later?”
Alex Brown was in the shower, and the strange woman was nearby, and answered the phone for him …
Seeing Keira’s face change instantly, Emma Rosy took a few steps up to hang up the phone, before the line was disconnected, there seemed to be a scolding voice on the other side, but no one cared to pay attention at the moment.
Emma Rosy squatted in front of the bed, raised a hand to touch Keira’s cheek, a slightly stiff explanation: “Uh … Keira, Dad may be on a business trip, so that’s why …”
Before she could finish, Keira had already darted under the covers and wrapped herself up tightly, and in no time, sad and angry sobs came out from inside.
Hope tried to calm her down through the blanket, but the emotions she was holding back turned into bawling. Emma Rosy shook her head and told Hope to leave her alone and give her some time to vent.
Emma Rosy trusts Alex Brown, but she can’t help but feel irritated, not to mention Keira, who wants to find her father.
Emma Rosy and Keira, one cold and silent, the other crying, Hope could not help but feel guilty, so she found an excuse to leave the room and tried to call back in the corridor to clarify the situation.
but as soon as it rang, it was quickly cut off.
She couldn’t decide what to do, so she put the phone away and went back to the ward to continue coaxing Keira.
The Brown Family home.
Alex Brown’ gloomy face pressed on, Susan Bull retreated all the way to the wall, her hands behind her back felt the vibration and immediately hung up the phone before carefully returning it.
“Sorry Mr. Brown , I came upstairs to bring you fruit and just happened to hear your phone ringing, I was afraid something important was going on so I answered it for you.”
“Who’s calling?” Alex Brown asked in a cold voice.
Susan Bull slightly opened her eyes wide and puffed out her cheeks, looking simple and innocent: “I’m not too sure, it seems to be a girl, not too old.”
“What did you say again?” The tone of voice was close to calm, but those familiar with Alex Brown would know that this was a precursor to his anger.
Poor Susan Bull was having so much fun pretending to be stupid and sweet, oblivious to her situation, that she even thought Alex Brown had believed her.
“I saw the light on in the bathroom and heard the water inside, so …”
“Let’s just say I was in the shower?” Alex Brown completes her words, while asking expressionlessly afterwards, “How old are you? What is the metaphor for saying that in that situation just now, you wouldn’t not understand, right?”
, Susan Bull finally some panic, eyes rolled, unnaturally hanging head, mumbled: “You take me in, I am your person, did just … I said something wrong?”
“Be my person? You are also worthy?!”Alex Brown cold snort, face sneer: “Put away your trick!”
If that’s the case, don’t blame him for being cruel!
Ordering the butler to call Ivy Smith, he ordered in a deep voice: “Find a place to lock her up, keep an eye on her, and don’t cause any more trouble.”
In the face of absolute power, no small trick would help, and Susan Bull wanted nothing more than to get out of here and get home safely.
However, when she looked to Ivy Smith for help, the gentle big sister had long since disappeared.
“I warned you, but you thought you were smart, and you deserve to be where you are now.” After throwing her into the basement, Ivy Smith said coldly through the door.
After Ivy Smith left with Susan Bull, Alex Brown immediately called Emma Rosy, who rang for a long time but never answered, and tried several more times, only to get an alert that the phone was off.
He tried several more times, but got a direct shut-off alert. When he looked at his previous call history, he found that the number he called was an unfamiliar one.
It rang again for a long time, and only when he was ready to hang up did Hope’s voice finally come out of the receiver.
“Hello, is this Uncle Alex?”Because of her experience, Hope was extra careful when answering the phone, slipping out of the room to avoid Emma Rosy and Keira.
Alex Brown breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly, “Yes. Are you still in the hospital? If so, tell Emma for me, and I’ll come over and explain to her.”
Hope agreed readily, “Okay, I’ll tell mom. But I have to take the exam tomorrow, I must go home soon. You must take good care of mom and Keira after you come, they … are not in a very good mood.”
“I understand.” Alex Brown nodded and wished Hope a good exam before closing the line and hurrying out the door on his feet.
When he went to the garage to pick up his car, he passed the basement, and the woman inside was quiet and seemed to have accepted the situation she was in today.
Alex Brown walked by without looking at her, not knowing that Susan Bull was not resigned to her fate as he expected, but was actively trying to find a way to get out.
Huddled in the corner of the single bed, Susan Bull unbuttoned her shirt in the dim light and removed a small wire from the compartment of her underwear.
It was intended for recording Brown Group’s business secrets, but now it’s being used to call for help.
She curled her lips in self-deprecation and flicked the switch to send a signal out.
“What’s going on?”
The green light flickered on and off, and finally went out completely, instead the red light next to it came on. She muttered strangely and was about to turn it off and retry when the door to the locked room burst open.
Ivy Smith walked in and surveyed her from above: “Don’t bother, this basement is equipped with a signal jammer for you, and the weak signal just now was all intercepted by me.”
She then held out her hand: “No need to hide it, give it to me.”
The hand hidden behind her moved, then she clenched into a fist and raised it to Ivy Smith.
She had already been searched before sending her in, and although the hidden parts could not be examined in detail, there was certainly no tool to hurt people, so Ivy Smith was not suspicious, and directly flattened her palm.
The metal bug fell into the palm of her hand, and together with it, there seemed to be something else.
She subconsciously lowered her eyes to look, but Susan Bull closed her fingers.
“Look alone.” Susan Bull tilted her head to gaze at her, a mysterious face reminded.
Ivy Smith shook her head with a smile, thinking that Susan Bull was too conceited to think that a few words on a piece of paper would buy her off.
As she walked out of the basement, she was going to throw the note away because she guessed that it contained a sum of money that would make an ordinary person’s heart flutter, but when she raised her hand to the top of the trash can, she couldn’t help but withdraw it curiously to confirm whether her guess was accurate.
The original cozy state of mind was instantly turned upside down after reading They lines on the note.
–Miss Ivy Smith, an international business spy, how does it feel to be transformed?
The line below, marked with an email address.
For a business spy who wanders in the dark, exposure is tantamount to death, and the last time she used the unlucky Tina Everard to escape.
Clutching the note tightly, she went to her room and opened her computer, typing in the URL against the handwriting on the note, only to realize that the sweat on her palm had soaked the note, and her back was cold and sweaty.
She forced herself to calm down, the other party’s identity is unknown, only wrote a vague sentence, only the weak-minded people will fall for it, if she shows the slightest panic, it will be trapped.
After a moment of hesitation, she sent an email first.
–Who are you and who is Susan Bull to you?
The reply email came quickly, but unfortunately it didn’t turn out as she had hoped.
— Ms. Ivy Smith, as a young girl, with the gang in foreign fraud, and as an adult to join the commercial espionage organization, the theft of trade secrets caused losses amounting to hundreds of billions. Most recently, you successfully infiltrated a foreign software company, successfully stole information after the tragic pursuit, alias Tina Everard escaped, after the help of a valuable person. Is this enough information for you, do you want me to go on?
