Harbor City Heavenly Hospital.
This was a high-end private hospital in Harbor City. Only the rich in Harbor City could stay here.
When Jasper arrived at Jake’s room, Jake was attached to the IV while he watched television.
“You’re so dedicated to your job. You should rest since you’re hurt. You should recuperate before you think about work.”
Jasper pushed the door open to walk in. He said this when he saw that the television on the wall was showing the financial news of the United States.
When Jake saw Jasper, he started panicking. However, Jasper pressed him down on the bed right before he could do so.
“Don’t move. I’ve asked the doctor and he said you have a slight concussion. You can’t move too much as you need to rest well.”
Jake said emotionally, “Mr. Laine, why are you in Harbor City?”
“You’ve been abducted, so as your boss, how can I not come to rescue you? If not, who would want to work for me?” Jasper chuckled and replied.
Jake said shamefully, “Mr. Laine, I’m sorry for being too careless. If I had known about this, I would have moved our workplace to a more secluded place. Perhaps we won’t have run into this issue if I did that.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “This has nothing to do with you. Your previous workplace was a secluded villa provided by the Laws who found you that place. Where else can you go if you intend to hide again?”
If Fabian wanted to find someone, he would be able to unless that person was not in Harbor City. Moreover, Jake had so many people in his team, and they had been doing transactions in the Dow Jones market this whole time. As long as someone got the IP address of their system from the securities regulatory commission, they would not be able to hide.
“Mr. Laine, is it over?” Jake asked.
“Half of it,” Jasper replied faintly.
He had nothing to hide from Jake, so he straightforwardly told Jake what had happened afterward.
When he heard that Henry had wanted to burn Empire Meet to the ground, he was dumbfounded.
However, when he heard that Jasper had reached a deal with Fabian, he could not control himself and said, “Actually, we can completely crush Fabian this time.”
Jasper smiled and said, “It’s not like that.
“You’re only thinking about it from a financial angle. You forgot that Fabian still has his family behind him. Now, Fabian doesn’t want things to escalate to an unconcealable level, so he will still cling onto his last card. He is also willing to pay a price for this.”
“However, if we forcefully removed his last card, Fabian will totally embarrass himself in front of everyone. However, this will also give his family a reason to brazenly intercept and put their foot into this matter.”
“At the end of the day, the thing that people of our level need to do is compromise and exchange terms. If we were to completely crush Fabian, he wouldn’t die unless we could also get rid of his family’s power in one go.”
After hearing what Jasper said, Jake nodded thoughtfully.
Jasper wanted to remind Jake of this as well.
After all, he still needed Jake to stay in Harbor City to take charge for him. Jake needed to look at an even bigger picture if he were to stay in this position. After all, he would not just be a financial agent Jasper had appointed to stay in Harbor City.
“Mr. Laine, does that mean we are giving up the chance to completely take down Fabian?” Jake asked reluctantly.
“He only has half a life left. It’ll be the same whether we finish him or not. He only has 500 million US Dollars, which will be just enough to pay for his funeral. What damage could he possibly cause?” Jasper said flatly.
Jake frowned and said, “Mr. Laine, I heard a lot of rumors back then. It seems that Fabian still has more tricks up his sleeve. Also, looking at his performance on the Dow Jones Market toward the end, I still see a lot of abnormal behavior.”
“It’s abnormal indeed. Now that we’ve relented on our assault, based on common sense, he should rush to flee the market. Yet, he’s not moving at all.”
Jasper said as he narrowed his eyes and recalled what Baz told him while he was on the way here.
“No, there must be more to this. Does Fabian not want to give up yet?” Jake answered immediately.
