On the other side, Beckett handed the flight tickets to Jax. These were not just Jax’s tickets, they included tickets for his family members as well.
Beckett held the USB drive in his hand and said with a cold expression, “Everyone is just taking what they need. You give me evidence of Larry’s embezzlement and I will provide you with cash and guarantee your safety. Okay, no more nonsense, Mr. Laine has prepared plane tickets for you to go abroad, and you have to leave as soon as possible. When you get there, there will be people ready to receive you. We’ve also arranged temporary accommodation for you. That’s all Mr. Laine can do for you.”
After Jax thanked Beckett, he quickly left.

“F*ck!”
Inside the office, Larry pushed everything on the desk to the floor and looked at the secretary in front of him angrily.
“How could you let that punk Jax escape? Are you all a bunch of fucking trash?!”
The secretary was shivering, and she did not dare to breathe too loudly. After all, they had indeed screwed up this matter since they failed to keep an eye on Jax and he had now escaped.
“Mr. Weis, this came as a result of our negligence, and we will accept the penalty.”
“What‘s the f*cking use of punishing you?!”
Larry had realized his current situation. If he did not apologize, he would lose everything. After all, the USB drive that Lane Automotive played to him today held too many secrets… Now that things had gotten to this stage, even if he would not have a life and death struggle like Jax, it did not mean he would just lay down quietly and die.
“Mr. Weis, if it really doesn’t work, let’s apologize and let this matter rest first. We can’t let them hold this against us anymore,” the secretary said at one side.
Larry did not speak. He figured this might be the best way out for him now.
“Hold a press conference to clear this matter. I don’t want it to affect me again.”
The secretary nodded quickly and turned around to prepare for the press conference. Soon, news of the press conference was spread to various media outlets, and everyone within the company and the outside world learned about it.
Jasper naturally heard this too. He sat in the office and nodded. Sure enough, Larry chose to retreat.
At the press conference, the secretary next to Larry on stage gave a detailed exposition of the whole affair and apologized to Lane Automotive. Her attitude was not sincere, but she was loud.
Only Jasper knew how profitable the auto industry would be in the future.
In a few years, millions or even tens of millions of luxury cars would appear on the market, and the profits from the industry would be unimaginable. He had planned out the future of Lane Automotive and he wanted the company to become bigger and stronger. He wanted to build Lane Automotive Factory into a real leader of domestic auto brands and to establish his own industry kingdom too. The physical stores and the Internet industry would go hand in hand to challenge the world’s true oligarchic financial group!
At this moment, Jasper’s phone rang. It was Dean.
Jasper frowned when he recalled what Gale told him before he passed.
“Mr. Laine, where are you now?”
As soon as the call was connected, Dean said hurriedly.
“I’m in Harbor City, what’s the matter? ” Jasper asked with a straight face.
Needless to say, Gale’s chosen heir would be very shrewd, and judging from his urgent tone, something that he could not handle had definitely happened.
“The Haddock Chamber of Commerce is in trouble, big trouble!”
Dean sighed, “Mr. Laine, do you have time to come back to Swallow Capital now? I’ll tell you everything in person.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper glanced at the time.
“Wait for me, I’m leaving now. I’ll be there in two hours.”
“Alright.” Dean hung up.
Meanwhile, Jasper went to the airport alone without any entourage.
At ten o’clock, a plane departed from Harbor City…
While he was on his way, Gale’s face kept flashing across Jasper’s mind, and the words Gale said before his death also sounded in his ears. When Gale handed over the position to Dean, he told Jasper that no matter what, he had to keep the Haddock Chamber of Commerce alive.
In other words, he asked Jasper to help Dean so that Dean could stabilize his position and take care of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
Back then, when Gale was still alive, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce was an unshakable iron fortress. After Gale passed away, Jasper had some worries in his heart. His concern were not about the future of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, but Dean. Countless old men in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce had been in the business world for many years. Dean, on the other hand, was inexperienced and was nothing compared to the older generation in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
Back then, Jasper knew that something would definitely happen after Dean took over the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, but he did not think that it would happen so soon.

At noon, the plane landed at Swallow Capital Airport.
Dean had also come to the airport to await his arrival. After Jasper got off the plane, the two met.
“Mr. Laine, get in the car first. Let’s go to my house.”
“Okay.”
Jasper nodded slightly and followed Dean into the car.
It had almost been a month since they last met each other and Dean was still the same. However, he looked slightly haggard.
“Tell me, what happened?” As the car started slowly, Jasper looked at Dean.
“Sigh, this is a long story.” Dean sighed and cast his gaze out the window.
