"Tomorrow, come to Ozette!"

Link replied after reading the text messages, and then deleted the text messages he received.

It's not glamorous to use that kind of means.

Although he trusted Douglas, he was worried that things would go wrong. He had to get all the details right. And he was also worried that his phone would be tapped, and he couldn't communicate through the phone.

Douglas was near the U.S.-Mexico border, and when he saw a text message from Link, he immediately replied with one word: "Okay." ”

Then he turned off the phone, circled a phone card, then put the microphone of the phone in a small sleeve cut out of stockings, dialed a number, and said in a hoarse voice: "After people are brought to the place, there must be no mistakes." People send them back safely, and the money will come back to you a day later, and if you want to do something, you think about whether $300,000 is important or something else. ”

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be in the car, and some noise could be heard. The man said, "We don't need your command to do things." You have the money ready, and if you don't pay the bills, don't blame us for being polite. ”

Douglas sneered and said, "I don't care what you did before. But this ticket, as long as I am notified, must be sent back in good condition. The people are intact, and it is 300,000 that are yours. If there is any damage to people, you will only be spared. As for money, we don't work together once or twice. I think you should trust my integrity. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to reply.

In the United States, the public's phone calls can be monitored. He wasn't sure if his phone would be monitored, but he had to be careful.

Although he changed his voice and used a new phone number. However, if it is suspected, it is still possible to determine the specific location through the signal, increasing the risk of revealing the true identity. So such a call, he will not be more than two minutes.

Those two people were contacted by an informant he recruited through the Internet. The informant didn't know who he was. There were several of them like that, and they were all hooligans and the like. And those two were the same people he sent to capture Jerome last time. Jerome's death was also done by them.

He put down the phone and changed the SIM card again. He took off the tie clip and broke it hard, watching the ordinary tie clip be torn open, he put the phone card inside. Then close firmly. The card will be cleared after the matter is over. Now he is still useful.

After he restarted the flight, he called to rent a small plane and prepared to go to Ozette tomorrow.

The message reached Link's phone, and Link put it away after reading it.

How long has it been in the United States, Tiger who flew the plane reminded the plane to prepare for landing.

He woke Jessica up and helped her fasten her seatbelts.

When I got home, it was just after eight o'clock. William greeted them outside the gate, and when he learned that they had not yet eaten supper, he went to order the kitchen to bring the prepared dinner.

Hannah was waiting for them in the living room while drawing, and when she heard the movement outside, she ran out screaming, "Daddy, click." You're back?"

Seeing her running towards her, Link quickly squatted down to catch her, and then kissed her a few times on her cute smiling face, saying, "Is Hannah okay at home?"

"I'm fine, is my sister doing too?" Hannah looked at Jessica's belly. "I didn't even talk to her today. Will she not remember me?"

Jessica crouched down carefully, hugged her and smiled, "Of course not." It will always remember how much Hannah loves her. ”

Hannah nodded violently and said, "Uh-huh." I'm going to love it!" she said, as if she had thought of something, and struggled to figure it out. "I drew a picture today, and I want to show it to my sister!"

Link watched her run away, so he helped Jessica to her feet and walked inside. Jessica touched her stomach and smiled, "It seems that it will have a sister who loves it very much in the future." What a lucky little guy. ”

Hannah rushed to them with a painting in her hand, raised it in the air with both hands, and said, "This is what I painted today." ”

It was a sketch of a black and white horse running. Although the horse's movements are somewhat deformed, there are also some Q versions of the horse's body shape, which is particularly cute. However, the lines on it are already quite delicate. Even Link, who doesn't understand painting, can see that the little guy has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

Jessica looked at it for a moment and said with surprise, "Is this what Hannah drew today? Is this Gigi or Fanny?"

"It's Fanny. ”

"Is it just for the baby?"

"Well, I'm going to give it to my sister! There was also a pumpkin carriage ride together. ”

Jessica took it carefully and said, "Thank you Hannah." Babies must love it. ”

Link was a little unhappy in his heart. He asked Ms. Hemmer, "Has Hannah been painting for a long time today?"

"I painted for two hours in the morning, and in the afternoon I went to Alyssa's, and Alyssa instructed her to draw for two hours, and after eating, she drew for more than an hour. ”

When he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "She is still too young to paint for a long time. ”

Lady Hemmer smiled wryly and said, "I want to stop her, but she's always sullen when you're not at home." Only painting will make her a little happier. I had to ask her to rest for twenty minutes every forty minutes. ”

Hearing her say this, Link felt a little guilty in his heart, picked up his daughter, and asked Ms. Hemmer as he walked to the living room, "Did she have a good meal today?"

"At noon, I just had half a bowl of rice, some fish, five gooseneck barnacles, two dumplings, and a glass of goat's milk in the afternoon. In the evening, the amount of food was a little less, and after only half a bowl of seafood noodles, she said she was full, and I coaxed her to eat some wheat flakes half an hour ago. "Although Hannah is small, the amount of food is not small, and she can eat a bowl of rice for a regular meal on weekdays.

Link nodded and said, "If she doesn't want to eat properly, you call me." If she doesn't want to stop drawing for a long time, you can also ask her to talk to me. ”

"Okay, I remember. ”

"Thank you for your hard work today. Now she'll leave it to us. ”

"Okay. ”

Ms. Hemmer smiled and went to her room. Hannah is still very easy to bring, that is, well-behaved and cute, and she is also close to her, and her work is also very easy on weekdays. Link's words were a bit heavier, but she could understand them. How nervous Link is about Hannah, she has seen it in the past two years.

And Link's words were just a little heavier, not excessive.

She heard Link walk towards the restaurant with Hannah in his arms and say, "Is it okay for Hannah to eat with Daddy and Kaka?"

After eating, Link played with Hannah and a few pets like a child for a long time, hoping to make up for the fault of leaving her alone today.

The next day, still a day off, Link got up early, and after boxing, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After breakfast, we walked outside the castle with Jessica and Hannah. A few pets were whirling around them.

Jessica saw the pile of carbonized wood that had already been erected from a distance, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you were going to make some furniture out of that wood?"

Hannah held their hands between the two of them, and walked uncomfortably, whether it was a human swing. Listening to Jessica, she quickly said, "It's not pretty!," and she found reasons to support her opinion. "It's rotten wood, it's black! It's not good-looking. "She'd been to see the wood, and she didn't like it.

Jessica looked at Link and smiled, watching what he had to say.

Link thought for a moment and said to Hannah, "Does Hannah remember the ugly duckling?"

"Remember, ugly ducklings were ugly when they were very young. Mother ducks don't like it, all animals don't like it. Later it grew up and became a swan, which was beautiful. All the animals complimented it. Stephen said that the ugly duckling became beautiful because it was originally a beautiful swan. Just like me, because I was already pretty, I will be even more beautiful when I grow up. ”

Jessica couldn't help but giggle when she heard her words, and said, "Yes, Hannah is a little beauty now, and she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up." ”

"Will it be as pretty as Kaka?" said Stephen, who was as pretty as his mother. She said, looking left and right, then beckoning Jessica to bend down. Then he "whispered" in her ear. "However, I think Kaka is more beautiful than Stephen's mother. Kaka doesn't tell anyone, does it?"

Jessica couldn't help but laugh and lowered her voice and said, "Thank you Hannah! This is our secret, of course we won't tell anyone!"

Link rolled his eyes in his heart, that little kid with a big ghost was about to teach his baby daughter badly.

The topic of his desire to continue educating his daughter was immediately interrupted by another phone call.

"Boss, I'm here!" the call was from Douglas.

The smile on his face unconsciously faded, and he smiled and said to Jessica, "Douglas came to me for something to discuss." We'll go back first, and we'll continue our walk in the afternoon. ”

Jessica knows Link has two sides.

Martha's team, Neil's team, Song Xianhe's food company, the Macronap Project, and the Benehans company she manages are all on his bright side. But there is another side, the dark side represented by Douglas.

On the bright side, Douglas is just the head of Link's intelligence-gathering team. But she knew that there were some shady things that Link had left to Douglas to do.

The smile on her face froze visibly after Link saw the incoming call just now. She felt that it was not because Link felt embarrassed that the walk had been planned, but because Douglas had come to make him not as happy as he had just been.

However, she knows that the bigger the career, the bigger the shadow behind it.

And she also believes that Link is the person who is the bottom line. At least he couldn't even keep Douglas on his face.

She knew he wasn't willing to do those shady things. And she is Link's woman, willing to support him no matter what he does. But she felt that it was good for herself and him to remain unaware.

Because, Link is a family-oriented person. If she hadn't been aware of it, Link would have more scruples about doing those things, and wouldn't have lost her bottom line and done too much. If he knew that she fully supported him, and he did things, maybe he would no longer be careful to maintain the bottom line of principles.
