Mr. Nelson left.
In the quaint little room, the crippled Brown slowly cleaned up the scattered chessboard after Mr. Nelson left.
He sorted the black and white chess pieces one by one and put them in their respective slots. As he was doing this, he said lightly, “What are you still doing at the door? Don’t stand there if you’re not coming in.”
The door creaked as it was pushed open. Adele walked in with dissatisfaction and sat down opposite him angrily. She said, “You punk, did you install a surveillance camera outside?”
“Surveillance camera?”
The crippled Brown chuckled and said, “I am not you. I am not so brave to install a bug in the car of the Policy Institute. If the second uncle hadn’t said something, you would have been arrested.”
Adele’s face became stiff, and she said replied guiltily, “You know everything?”
“After you install your bugs, there are people removing them one by one after you leave. If Lieutenant Colonel Zangara, who handled this matter, was not the second uncle’s subordinate and he did not spare you when he found out, do you think you could sit here and talk to me?”
Adele stuck out her tongue and patted her chest as if she was afraid. Then, she asked carefully, “Does Dad know?”
The crippled Brown said angrily, “The second uncle treats you even better than he treats his own daughter. He forcefully suppressed this, if not, dad would have known a long time ago.”
“Wow, I’ll give him two of dad’s finest collectible Brandy tomorrow to thank him properly.”
The crippled Brown frowned and said, “It’s fine if you occasionally fool around, but this kind of thing is very sensitive and taboo. Don’t do this anymore.”
Adele snorted, a little guilty and a little unconvinced. “Yeah, yeah, you’re so annoying. I just want to know more inside information about this matter right now.”
“You’re pretty concerned about Jasper’s affairs,” The crippled Brown said meaningfully.
Adele grinned and said, “I know what you want to say, but don‘t overthink. I’ve only met him twice. He’s just like a present day Alexander the Great. He doesn’t necessarily have the ability, but I’m just moved by him.”
“I am just curious. By the way, he is a nouveau riche now. Maybe there is some news that I can sell to him at a good price.”
The crippled Brown smiled, “So that’s why you stayed up late tonight and did not go to sleep? So you could eavesdrop at the crack of the door? Is it to satisfy your curiosity or to make money?”
Adele pouted and said aggrievedly, “I get so angry when I talk about this. That old fart came to our house and sent a group of bodyguards to keep watch so that I couldn’t enter this yard. What is the meaning of that? This is my house!”
“With his status, it’s reasonable to have a lot of bodyguards with him.”
The crippled Brown said faintly, “Stop snooping around this matter anymore. This is no longer a joke between the children of the residence and the common folks. It has risen to the level of national policy, understand?”
Adele asked with bright eyes, “Just now, Jasper brought the Dow Jones to a trading curb. What’s the higher-ups’ reaction to this?”
“You’re still snooping.” The crippled Brown glared at Adele.
Seeing that the crippled Brown’s was being secretive about this, Adele said angrily, “You won’t tell me? I’ll go to Grandpa at dawn and tell him that the stallion he raised died of exhaustion because you forced it to breed three years ago!”
The crippled Brown looked at Adele in shock and said in a tone of disbelief, “Why do I have a sister like you?”
Adele chuckled, took a chair to sit next to the crippled Brown’s wheelchair, and said, “Hurry up, pick some news that you think I can know and tell me. Otherwise, you know that I follow through with my threats.”
The crippled Brown snorted and said helplessly, “Today, Jasper brought the entire United States stock market to the trading curb, so who do you think is the most annoyed?”
Adele immediately replied, “Do you think I need to time to think this through? The United States, of course. They have never suffered such a big loss.”
“So that’s it. Tomorrow will be the United States’ full counterattack It will be quite strong.”
“Jasper is no longer the little pawn they once despised. Before, their goal was to enter the domestic class A shares market if they managed to destroy Jasper, but now it is different. Destroying Jasper has become their primary task.”
