Link's car stopped on the side of the road, and Tiger immediately stopped behind him, and got out of the car to find out what happened to Link's car.

When Link saw him knocking on the car door, he pressed the window, covered the microphone and said to him, "It's okay." ”

Tiger nodded, then stood next to the car.

Link pressed the window and said to the phone, "Tommy, I want to talk to him." ”

Tommy Cockline immediately said, "Okay. ”

Then a familiar voice with a smile came over the phone: "Hey, Link. It's me. I didn't expect to talk to you in this situation. ”

Link also smiled and said, "I didn't think I would hear from you in the future." Are you okay?"

"Well, I've been traveling the world for the last few years. I just returned to the United States not long ago. ”

"Since you're back, why don't you contact me? Also, I thought you wouldn't be short of money?"

"No, I'm short on money. You know, traveling the world costs a lot of money. The other end of the phone said with a smile. "But this time I'm carrying it. You know, I can't go to jail. So I have to say I know you. ”

"We're friends!" Link said, pausing. "The money is still there, pay it back to the casino! They won't embarrass you." ”

"It's already spent!"

"Did you throw the money in the water?" Link startled. As far as he knew, the other party had won more than 30 million in at least a few casinos. "That's tens of millions of dollars, and you spent it in a week?"

"Actually, I didn't expect 34 million to be so unspendable. Carrick said with a wry smile. "But the invoices I got did add up to $34 million. ”

Link pursed his lips and said, "OK! We'll talk more about it when we meet." Now call Tommy. I'll talk to him!"

After a while, Tommy Cockline's voice came.

Link said, "Tommy, Carrick Don is my friend. Casino losses, count me in. Let him sign the agreement and let him go!"

Tommy Cockline was silent for a moment before he said, "Link, you know, there are no secrets in Las Vegas. Maybe other casinos already know about it. ”

"Their losses are mine. Link said immediately. "Tell them that I owe them this time. ”

"Good!" Tommy Cockline knew that with Link's words, the other casinos would have to stop even if they had an opinion. But he still has concerns. "But Link, your friend's software is a big threat to our casino. ”

"Now that I know how they do things, I think the casino will have a way to guard against it in the future. Isn't it?"

"That's true, but I'd rather your friends don't use similar software in the future. Tommy Coklein said with a wry smile. "You know, your friend is a genius at that. ”

"I'll talk to him. If there is a next time, I will not ask for anything more. ”

"Okay, I'll release him right away. ”

"Please, arrange a plane for him to get to Baker's Farm. ”

"No problem. ”

"Thank you. You give him the phone again, and I'll talk to him. ”

After Carrick answered the phone, Link said, "Carrick, I'm going to my farm now, and I'll ask Tommy to arrange to send you over." Maybe you'll get there first. You're waiting for me on the farm. Let's meet. ”

"Listen to you. Who let you save me this time!"

Jessica had been listening quietly and asked Hannah to keep quiet. When he ended the call, she asked curiously, "Did your friend have an accident at the casino?"

"He's been caught!" Link said with a wry smile. And when he catches someone, his credit is the greatest. But he definitely didn't expect it to be this person. "He's a tech controller. I never thought he would think about making money from casinos. ”

He said to Hannah, who was lying in front of the two front seats, "Hannah, sit back down and fasten your seatbelts." Daddy is going to drive again. "This girl will unbuckle her seatbelt herself.

Hannah obediently sat back in her child safety seat, expertly fastened her seat belt, and said, "Daddy, I'm done." ”

Link kept turning his head to look at her, but he didn't notice a problem before starting the car again.

"Is your friend alright?" Jessica had no idea he had such a friend. And listening to what Link said on the phone, he was willing to make more than 30 million friends, and he was definitely not friends with ordinary relationships. "I've never heard you mention this friend before. ”

"I haven't seen him in over six years, and I haven't heard from him. I even thought something had happened to him. He raised the speed to the speed limit, he said. "I've known him for 10 years. He had previously lived in Las Vegas. I met him when we were working on a summer job. He saved my life. ”

"What's going on?" Jessica heard that his life was in danger, and although she knew it was a long time ago, she couldn't help but be afraid.

"It was the second year after I met him, and we were working in the same restaurant again. That time, we had just received our paychecks, and when we came home in the middle of the night, we were robbed. Five people, with two guns. At that time, I was young, I was still very impulsive, and I thought it was good to reach out. He laughs. "So I resisted. I managed to take down three people, one of whom had a gun in his hand. But another gunman caught the opportunity to shoot me, and it was he who blocked the bullet with his back. ”

"Oh my God. Jessica exclaimed.

Hannah couldn't understand what they were saying, and when she heard Jessica exclaim, she learned to exclaim, "Oh my God......!" Oh my god......" she learned to find amused and laughed to herself.

She laughed at both of them who had done before, and the tension in Jessica's heart dissipated.

Link continued: "He's obsessed with computers, so he carries his laptop with him, which is a used military-type computer, which is thick and hard. He saved my life, the computer saved his life. He remembered the scene and couldn't help but smile. "But it seemed worse than killing him. The bandit who fired the shot was beaten to a pig's head by him before the police arrived. "Of course, it was after he had defeated the bandit that Carrick did it.

"Maybe there's something in the computer that he's worth remembering. ”

Link smiled and nodded, "It should be." He always said that the computer was his girlfriend. The two shots fired by the bandit broke his girlfriend's brain. It's impossible to change your body. ”

They drove for more than an hour. The car finally entered Route 50.

Tommy Cockline called to say that Carrick's plane had taken off.

There was not much traffic on the desert road, so Link increased his speed. Highway 50 often crossed towns and towns at first, or some very small settlements, but also some farms. But it didn't take long for the roadside to be deserted. The distant mountains and the vast land give people a feeling of the sky and the sea.

Jessica was in the car and enjoyed the scenery in the distance from time to time. There are wild animals, and you can also see the shadows of the mountains in the distance. But Link wondered what had happened to Carrick to use the money like that, and he had no intention of admiring the scenery.

They rushed to Baker's Farm before dark. Link drove the car to the villa built in Baker Valley.

After parking the car, he first picked Hannah down.

"Daddy, is this our home too?" asked Hannah, taking his hand as she walked.

Link gave Hannah the impression that they had a lot of homes. A home with a castle, a home with a lot of windmills, a home with a grandmother, a home in a big city. She remembers that there was also a family with a lot of alpacas.

Link smiled and said, "Yes, this is our home too." ”

At this moment, the door of the villa opened, and a thin man walked out: "Hey, Link. It's good to be fated to see you!"

As he spoke, he walked over quickly. Link also let go of Hannah and took two steps forward. The two men embraced. Link said, "It seems that Tommy and they didn't embarrass you. ”

"Perhaps, they were shocked by my technology. ”

"This is my girlfriend, Jessica Benis. This is my daughter, Hannah Lin, who has a Chinese name, Lin Feifei. ”

"Hello, Jessica. I'm Carrick Don. ”

"Welcome, Carrick!"

Link said to a curious Hannah, "Hannah, this is Carrick!"

"Hello, I'm Hannah!" With Link by her side, Hannah is never afraid of strangers.

"Hello, Hannah. You can call me Uncle Tang. "Carrick is a month younger than Link.

Hannah looked up at Link as if asking, is he Uncle Don?

Link nodded and said, "Hannah can call him Uncle Tang." "There aren't many people who can call Hannah uncle.

"Hello Uncle Tang!"

Jessica proposed, "I think we can go in and sit down and talk." ”

The two men, of course, would not object to her proposal. After entering the door, Jessica directs the servants in the villa to prepare dinner. After dinner, Link and Carrick go to the study.

Link sat him down, then took a bottle of red wine from the cellar and opened it.

Carrick took the wine and said with a smile, "I've heard about Blue Lagoon wine in Africa. Which wine is this?"

"I brewed it myself, and I haven't named it yet. ”

The wine from the previous year was already drinkable, but Albert suggested that it would be better to cellar it for more than three years. So he drank a little bit of the wine himself, and didn't try to sell it.

He sat down and asked, "Where have you been all these years?" I thought you were caught by the FBI. ”

"Do they have what it takes to catch me? If it weren't for that idiot, I wouldn't have been caught. Carrick leaned back on the couch and smiled. "I've been to a lot of countries over the years. Stable and developed countries such as Jipan, Southern Korea, China, Russia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, chaotic countries in the Middle East, poor countries in Africa, and isolated jungles in South America. ”

"Actually, what I want to know most is, what kind of trouble are you in?"

"Why do you ask?"

"If it weren't for the trouble, I can't think of any reason why you would spend $34 million in a week. ”

Carrick smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's just that I saw that others were in trouble, and I couldn't help but want to help." ”

"Who? Your girlfriend?"

"Of course not. My girlfriend is very economical and only uses less than two kilowatt-hours of electricity a day. ”

Link saw that he was still in the mood to joke, and knew that the matter should not be too serious: "Who the hell is it?"

"Afghanistan, a group of people with cadmium poisoning. They had their drinking water contaminated because of the mines of American companies. So I think Americans should provide the necessary medical care for these people. ”

Link said helplessly, "Man, there are a lot of unfair things in the world. We can't control it. ”

"Actually, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have cared about it!" said Carrick, looking him in the eye. "But after I saw it, every time I closed my eyes, I thought of the hope for the world in the dark eyes of those children. I had to do something so I could sleep!"
