There was some dim light and it seemed to be in a private room. Inside, Mr. Jones dressed in casual clothes was talking. Because the video was taken far away, the person who spoke to him could not be seen clearly.
Jacob narrowed his eyes and stared at the picture carefully. It was not until they finished talking and walked out of the room together that Jacob saw who it was. He looked at Xavier in disbelief. "It's Brandon Loong."
He was Eli's father, the most powerful gang leader in W City.
Previously, he simply knew that Rufus had something to do with Eli, but he didn't expect Mr. Gates to have contact with Brandon.
However, Jacob soon understood something and said, "I'm afraid the channels through which Rufus took the goods were all from Brandon... This way, we can figure out why Mr. Gates appeared in Burma."
Xavier could figure out the connections. The more things he found, the more complicated the situation became. If he made the Gates Family involved, he would probably be involved in more and more things. It was getting increasingly complicated.
"Who will benefit from the collapse of the Gates Family?" Jacob asked.
It was obvious that Brandon and the Gates Family worked together for mutual benefit. No matter which side decided to quit, it would threaten the interests of the other side.
"What should we do now?" Jacob was not sure. If these things were handed over, they would naturally hurt the Gates Family, since now the authorities were investigating them strictly. But they would also offend the gangs. This was equivalent to toppling the Gates Family and finding more trouble.
If they didn't do it, when Mr. Gates retreated, everything would be different again.
Xavier wasn't a coward, but it was different now. With someone he cared about, he was tied up. He had to think about Arya.
She couldn't stand it now.
Xavier rubbed his sore eyebrows, not even raising his eyelids. "You guys go back first. Leave me alone to think about it."
Jacob looked at Janet, who had never said a word, and signaled her. Soon, Janet took the hint and left the room quietly with Jacob.
Jacob sent Janet away and told her, "You can choose to go abroad."
Georgina would find out sooner or later that this was a conspiracy and would definitely cause trouble for Janet.
She could hide abroad and stay out of the limelight. She would come back when everything passed.
Janet looked ahead. When she chose this path, she was prepared to get involved in this mess.
Even if she chose to retreat now, she might not be able to leave safe and sound.
Besides, she was just the executor, so the person Georgina hated more was probably the one who schemed against her.
"No need," Janet said.
Jacob turned to look at her and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Well, then I'll arrange another place for you to stay. Georgina already knows where you live, so it's not safe." Jacob said.
"Thank you, then," Janet said sincerely. Jacob had been helping her, and she was very grateful.
"You are welcome." Jacob started the car and left.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. Xavier stood at the window smoking. The darkness outside covered half of his body, and his slender figure could only be seen vaguely seen, tall and firm.
However, at this moment, he heard a sound from the ward. He put out the cigarette and walked towards the ward.
When he opened the door, he saw Arya lying on her side on the quilt, looking very uncomfortable.
Arya reached out and grabbed his hand tightly. She said, "No matter when, hold on to me. Don't let me be alone, don't let me be afraid, or don't let me down. When I was a child, I only had my mother. I had never been loved by my father. But You make up for the regret of my life. Xavier, do whatever you want. Don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."
Even if Xavier took a step back, would the Gates Family take a step back?
Could it be that they thought Xavier was afraid and took advantage of him?
Xavier felt his heart churning. No one had ever spoken it to him, and no one could understand him like that. He held Arya's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined.
During that time, Xavier was very busy and didn't come back until midnight. There was a small bed in the ward. Arya asked someone to put it in, afraid that Xavier wouldn't have a good rest.
Because of Mr. Gates's position, the matter was not made public, but a secret investigation team was set up.
Even if they investigated it clear, it would not be tried in public. The case was too extensive and would not be publicized unless it was all clear.
The Gates Family did not notice how turbulent the matter was under the calm surface.
The dark sky was dotted with stars. Occasionally, there would be some shooting stars, which added a little liveliness to the quiet night.
Arya leaned against the windowsill and looked at the stars. She could not get down and walk. The furthest place she could go was to the windowsill when the bed was moved there. When the window was open, she could breathe in the fresh air outside.
Nanny Joy put on a bunch of fresh flowers on the table every day to add fresh air to the room.
During the day, Ryan would come over sometimes. Most of the time, Nanny Joy could be there. Several times, she knew that Daisy was here, but she didn't come in.
Arya actually wanted to tell Nanny Joy to call her in a few times, but she didn't know how to face her, so she didn't say anything.
The door of the room opened. Arya thought Xavier was back and turned around with a smile. However, it turned out the person was not Xavier, but...
