Link thought his opponent had run out of tricks. However, he didn't expect the other party to have a back-up move.

On this day, a subpoena from the Springfield Police Department was delivered to Mora Manor. He was asked to assist the police in their investigation within the specified time.

When he came home from work, he saw this summons and his heart jumped.

Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Jessica, who was beside him, asked, "What is this?" and she leaned over to take a look. "Summons?"

She was also stunned after reading the contents of the summons. The name Bill Jerome, she still remembers. It was this man who stole the information on the high yield of wheat in the first place. It was only after a while that no one could be found, and after Benehans registered a patent for high-yield wheat, he gradually put this person aside. She didn't expect to see this person's death again from the police arraignment.

And the special summons sent to Link also made her heart sudden. She had also wondered if Link had done something. It's just that she's smartly pretending to be stupid. Now the subpoena letter seems to confirm one of her earlier suspicions.

Link smiled, put the summons on the table, and said, "They thought they were the Senate?"

Jessica didn't ask if there was any, she just asked, "Didn't you say that his case was closed?

He took her to the room and said, "I'll have the lawyer negotiate with them." ”

Although the law provides citizens with an obligation to help with judicial investigations. But it is not a mandatory obligation, and the only thing that the law enforces on witnesses is against perjury.

Even if they are eyewitnesses to the case, if they are unwilling to testify, the police cannot compel witnesses to testify.

That's right, in fact, that Jerome's death is indeed related to him, and it was the person he personally hinted that Douglas killed.

But unless the police produce evidence to prove that it has something to do with him, then the case has nothing to do with him. But if there is evidence, it is not a summons letter, but a search warrant or arrest warrant issued by the court.

After he and Jessica went back to their room to change into homely clothes, they took out the phone and called Matthew to ask him to solve the matter.

Jessica was also smart not to bring it up again.

The most important thing for them now is to do a good job in the sale of Amaranth virus. As for what others do, they don't need to care. No matter the wind or rain outside, now they just have to be themselves.

"It's time for us to pick up Hannah. Hannah leaves school at 4 p.m. in kindergarten because she has to go to Alyssa's to learn how to draw, and when it is time for Hemmer to pick her up with her bodyguards and take her to Alyssa's place. I didn't pick it up until just before dinner. If they don't have time, Ms. Hemmer and the bodyguards will bring them back.

However, as long as they are free, at least one of them will pick her up in person. This is to compensate for her regret that she didn't pick her up from school.

Link looked at the time and felt that it was about the same. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll just go, you can rest for a while." "When she's pregnant, people get tired easily.

Jessica didn't insist either. She nodded and said, "Okay." I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. Call me when you come back. ”

Link nodded. I took the car keys and went out alone.

Ozette is his turf, if he has to be guarded by bodyguards at home. He really should review his life.

However, he did not go directly to the Lake Ozete area, but went around a forest. There is a small glade in it. A building is being built here, a building is being built quietly. The main body of this building is a steel frame, which is almost a spherical surface.

He didn't bother the construction team either, just took a look at the progress from a distance. The construction team is still building the steel frame, but the ten-acre building will not be completed until at least October. I built it at that time and was just right.

After seeing the "secret" building, he headed for the Lake Ozette area.

Just as he went to pick up his daughter, Matthew, who was in Las Vegas, didn't dare to take his business lightly. However, Matthew did not rush to Illinois, but looked up some legal texts, then picked up the phone and called the Illinois Government Complaint Center.

After a period of robot transfer, it finally arrived that the human answer needed to be recorded. After the operator identified himself, he said, "This is Matthew Jackson from Las Vegas, and I'm the lawyer representing Mr. Link Hans." ”

"Hello, lawyer Jackson, you are welcome to call the government complaint hotline, what suggestions and opinions would you like to give us?"

"My client received a summons from the Springfield West District Police Department for no reason, and my client had no connection to the case on the summons. At the same time, we note that the case has long been closed. My client believes that this is an abuse of power by the police department, and that this matter is very likely to cause serious damage to my client's social reputation. We ask that you investigate this as soon as possible and order the police department to immediately issue a public apology to my client. At the same time, my client will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility against the personnel and units. ”

"We have filed your complaint and will respond to you within seven working days. ”

Matthew is not one of those ordinary people who are easily fooled. "I want you to note 'urgent' in the memo and that if my client's reputation suffers any damage as a result, administrative proceedings will be brought against all responsible parties," he threatened. If your Illinois finances are generous enough, you can delay as much as you want!"

If there is a problem in the administration of a government department that damages the interests of citizens, citizens will sue in the same way as ordinary enterprises. The state compensation is even heavier than that of ordinary enterprises.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe no one cared, but was Link Hans an ordinary person? If things were really as Matthew said, a case that had already been closed would have to summon someone to assist in the investigation. That was a proper abuse of power.

So, the operator had to promise, "Attorney Jackson, please trust our work." Our filings will be sent to the relevant departments before going to work tomorrow. ”

"That's the best!"

After he hung up, he didn't intend to wait passively. He looked up the work numbers of the heads of several relevant departments in Illinois. He dialed them one by one.

Although it's off-duty time. For Americans, they spend their time after work and don't usually talk about anything at work. But he knew he was entitled to let them talk to him about work after work. Because he represents Link Hans.

Of course, there will be people who don't give Link face. He made four phone calls, and only two were willing to talk to him on the phone. The other two only told him to call again tomorrow after work. But that was enough for him. As long as there are high-level people who know, the people below cannot be deceived and concealed.

He was right, and one of the top officials who was willing to talk to him about work was a female federal congressman from Springfield, and after Matthew's call, she called the police station directly and asked them to explain what was going on.

Link didn't really care about that. Because he didn't even need to pay attention to the summons. He was not involved in the company's affairs, so even if Jerome's death was found to be related to the Benehans company, he should not be involved. And now the other party directly wants to interrogate him, obviously wanting to make trouble. If he is confused, he will fall into the hands of others.

But the other party is endless, and even if he is a clay man, he has three points of anger. He made a decision in his heart and took out the phone to call Douglas: "It's me." Do what you said last time. Be careful, though. ”

"Boss, don't worry. I'll take care of it!"

Link just said "um" and hung up. He casually put the phone down. But within seconds, he picked it up again and dialed another number.

"Kempner, it's me, Link. …… Nothing important, just wanted to ask how many people will be going to you tomorrow?"

“……”

"So much? Maybe I should bring some wine, maybe we can have a farmer's meeting on your farm. You know, I'm also a farmer...... OK, see you tomorrow!"

Tomorrow, the cotton fields at Holland Ranch will be the first customer to use the Amaranth virus. The marketing manager of Benehans worked with him and the results were quite good. Link discussed with him if he could apply the virus to his farm, and invited some farmers to visit the site.

Kempner thought about it and agreed. Not only did Link call some potential customers who were interested in using it, but Kempner also invited some people.

After taking Hannah home, William, the butler, asked if he could prepare dinner. Link asked him to prepare, and asked Ms. Hemmer to help Hannah wash her hands and face, and went upstairs to call Jessica.

Jessica washed up before going downstairs with him. On the way downstairs, Link told him what he had received from Kempner.

She was also quite happy to hear this: "There are more than 300 people to visit? That's a lot." ”

"Not a lot, indeed. "Most of the people invited are representative of the region. These people have a high prestige in the local area, and if they also decide to use the amaranth virus after the visit, they will have a greater impression of the nearby farms. That would be of great benefit to them as they continue to promote the Amaranth virus.

"You're going to Texas tomorrow morning?"

He took her hand into the elevator, pressed down to the first floor and said, "Yes." Kempner starts in the afternoon, and some of the invited farmers arrive at noon. Since Kempner was planning to have a potluck, it would be better for me to attend. ”

Having more contact with those farmers will be beneficial to his business.

"Why don't I go tomorrow too?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Won't you have a problem with your body?"

"You're not going to be able to do it alone. Although Jessica felt that Link cared about her and made her feel comfortable, it was just that Link was overprotective of her, making her feel that she was a little woman who didn't understand anything in Link's eyes. "And I'm not made of glass. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "But Hannah is home alone?"

"Let Ms. Hemmer take care of her for a day, and it will be no problem. ”

Before the elevator opened, Link nodded and said, "Okay then." ”
