The trip to Los Angeles allowed Link to gain a girlfriend and find a seemingly feasible investment direction.

Because he was going to meet with the Nolan brothers, he and Jessica changed their minds and stayed in Los Angeles for two more days. When returning to Sacrato Gate, there was plenty of room on the plane for what they had purchased from Los Angeles.

Back at Sacrato Gate, Link took his daughter to visit Jessica's parents before heading back to Nevada. He's been gone for four days, and the day before yesterday, Mike called him and said he had found something interesting. That's about Kent Heaney.

Kent Heaney had a public event three days earlier. However, Link was in Los Angeles at the time, and it was impossible to make it back. Later, Mike said that the man he sent had taken some pictures of Kent Heaney.

He returned to Hans's farm, left Hannah in the care of Ms. Hemer, who had returned to the villa, and then called Mike to come to the study.

He asked straight and straightforward, "What kind of photo?" because they were worried that the phone would be tapped, so they didn't make it clear when they talked on the phone.

Mike handed the bag of papers to Link.

Link opened it and saw a stack of candid photos inside. Although it is not very clear, both of them can see their faces clearly in the photo. It was a stack of pictures of men and women in a shootout with a naked body. The man in the photo is none other than Kent Heaney, while the woman is two different people.

"Is this evidence of his cheating?" "It's normal for a politician to cheat, but as long as it's not exposed, it's fine. But once exposed, it is a sign of moral turpitude. At this time, even if no one pushes the flames, I am afraid that I can only take the blame and resign. That's the unspoken rule, too.

And every politician has potential enemies, because there are many more people waiting to sit in his place.

"It's not just that," Mike said. The two women in the photo are mother and daughter. And that girl is only fifteen years and seven months old as of today. is the daughter of a lover of Kent Heanie. ”

Link pouted and said, "Mother and daughter flowers, this seems to be very exciting!" he looked up and said after a moment's pause. "Wait, you mean the girl in the picture is underage?"

"Yes, we found out that she will not be 16 years old until she turns 4 months. Mike affirmed.

Link finally understood what fun Mike was talking about. It's really fun to play with mother-daughter flowers, but having a relationship with an underage girl is so fun that it's a crime.

Although the average age of women in the United States for the first time is fifteen years and eight months. It can be said that most of the first time women are in crime. But as long as no one knows, then there is no need to go to jail.

The point is that no one knows. Once someone knows. That person will be prosecuted. If he were a politician, he would have been more disgusted than any other star, not even a president.

He held a picture and stared at it. He wasn't admiring the pose of the two in the photo, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Who is the girl in the photo?"

"My parents are divorced, and my mother is the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine. He is the object of Kent Heaney's long-term extramarital affair. This girl seems to be more than just Kent Heaney, and we have found out in the course of our investigation that she went to her teacher's house and behaved intimately. ”

Link is still thinking about it. It is easy to hurt someone, but the pain of the injured person may not be erased for a lifetime. If he published these photos, it would be a big blow to a minor. Regardless of the girl's character, it was not a reason for him to hurt the other party.

He was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind to say, "Destroy all the pictures of the girl." The rest, to Amanda Heard, who is a reporter for CNN and has been interviewing us. I'll give you her phone later. "Men, do something and don't do something. He doesn't care what others do, but he has to manage his own bottom line.

"Okay. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "You find someone else to contact Amanda Heard, and you think that you have inadvertently taken a photo and sold it for money." ”

Mike nodded, and then asked, "Do you want to save the girl's picture?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Leave a clearer one!"

Mike nodded, stood up and said, "I see." I'll arrange it. ”

Link frowned and nodded, "Do it clean." ”

Mike turned to leave, and when he opened them, he found little Hannah staggering to the door. She was followed by Ms. Hemmer.

Hannah saw Link sitting behind the desk open his hand and coquettishly, "Daddy." "It's a hug.

Link sees the little one, and Mike, who is about to be sent by him to do something. He stood up and walked over to hug his daughter.

Mike said, "Boss, I'll go first." ”

Link nodded, holding his daughter with a pure smile and some contradictions in his heart. He knew that any father would like to be the proud father of his children. But he did some dirty things in front of his daughter.

Ms. Hammer laughed and said, "Hannah misses you so much that she left all her toys and asked someone to send the stairs up to you." ”

Link kissed his daughter's little cheek. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mike's back at the top of the stairs.

He said, "Mike, wait a minute!"

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"You come back first. Let's talk about it again!"

He played with Hannah for a while, coaxed her, and then handed it to Ms. Hemmer to take downstairs. He returned to his study and said to Mike, "Don't make the photos public for now. ”

Mike was a little confused: "Boss, this can bring down Kent Heaney." "He knew that Link had made everything he did lately be directed at Kent Heaney. He knew very well that Link wanted to bring down Kent Heaney.

Link sat back behind his desk and said, "While Hannah won't know, I don't want to do that hurtful thing in front of her." ”

Hearing this, Mike shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Okay! Then I'll continue to send someone to keep an eye on Kent Heaney." ”

"No, you're going to send someone to give those pictures to the woman. Together with her daughter's. Tell her that I will only give her half a month. She can portray herself as an innocent person who takes the initiative to publish her photos, or she can leave the U.S. and we will make all the photos public. ”

"At best, Kent Heaney will lose his position. ”

"That's enough. "While Kentheney can't be thrown to jail, it is up to the woman to expose Kentheaney in the way that does the least harm to her. "Tell the woman that as long as Kent Heaney steps down, her daughter's photo will be deleted and will not be saved. ”

He thought for a moment, and then said, "Also, continue to inquire about Kent Heaney's itinerary." He let me know when he has a public itinerary. ”

He could give that woman a choice. But he won't have a chance to let Kent Heaney escape.

He gave up the initiative, and he didn't know exactly what the relationship between the woman and Kent Heaney was. If the woman was going to turn to Kentheaney for help, Kentheaney would have plenty of time to prepare. If those photos had been made public if Kent Heaney had been prepared, it would be difficult to say that the other party had no chance of escaping condemnation.

Mike didn't really agree with Link's approach, but he could understand his thoughts. After all, Mike is a father himself. He understands the idea of a father who wants to be a good person in the eyes of his children.

It's just that many times, most people choose to hide things from their children and pretend to be a good person.

Link was actually hiding his ears and stealing the bell at this time. No matter what he does, as long as he uses those photos, it will actually cause a lot of harm to the mother and daughter. Just giving the other party a choice does show some mercy, and that can also make the mother and daughter suffer a lot less damage.

"I'll arrange it. Mike nodded. "Any other commands?"

"No more. You're getting people to keep a close eye on the mother and daughter. ”

"Good. ”

After Mike left, Link sat down in the study before getting up and going downstairs. Hannah, who was playing in the company of Ms. Hemmer, smiled as pure as an angel when she saw him. The smile made Link feel a little glaring.

Link picked her up and said to Ms. Hammer, "I'll take her out for a walk!"

Outside, the sun was already on the top of the mountain, and the sun would not burn the little one's young skin. He could have stayed outside with Hannah for a little longer.

Hannah seems to be quite clingy to Link as well, perhaps because Link has spent a lot of time holding her in the past few days. She runs beside him, but never moves more than five meters away from him. She would run a few steps and look back to see if Link was following up, and if he was too far away, she would run back a few steps.

If Link beckons to her, she will run over and hug his calves with the characteristic screech of a baby, and let him lead him slowly. But it didn't take long to walk, and she didn't know what would catch her attention, so she would break free from his hand and run away. Maybe it's because of a small grass, or because of a rock. Anyway, it seems that everything will get her attention.

But it can be seen that the little one is happy today.

The sun was in the west with only a small hat peeking out of the top of the mountain, and as the temperature had begun to drop, Link carried Hannah home, who hadn't had enough fun.

He was still twenty or thirty meters away from the villa when his mobile phone rang.

He hugged Hannah in one hand, took out his mobile phone in the other and connected: "John, what's the good news?"

"Maybe you're going to be disappointed. John said with a wry smile. "Oxola Ranch asks for at least five hundred dollars per acre. I don't think there's anything going on with this business. He bit the price of five hundred. ”

Link gently dodged Hannah's hand, then turned on the speakerphone and put the phone away, asking loudly, "How big is his farm?"

"Thirty-eight thousand acres. Its owner wants to sell to a real estate agent. You know, it's close to the Da Basin National Park. It is the only national park in Nevada. There are places where you can see snow-capped peaks. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "If the price can't be negotiated, forget it." ”

"So that's bad news. You've made me a big commission. John said with a wry smile on the phone.

Link laughed and said, "Then you might be able to talk to the master one last time on the phone and tell him that I won't consider four hundred dollars per acre, or more cents." If he can't agree to the price, I won't think about it again in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll try one last time. ”

John was well aware that Oxola Farm was not a good place to develop real estate. It's in the Wheeler Mountains, but it's still quite far from the national park, so you don't enjoy much of the scenery. And there are a lot of places in Nevada where you can develop real estate like that. The national park is nothing more than a gimmick that doesn't really add much value to Oxola Farms. Otherwise, Baker Canyon is a better choice for real estate developers.

"If I could get it for four hundred dollars, I'd be glad to do it. But it's too high, and I feel like I'm at a loss. Link concluded. "So be it. Hannah is going to grab her phone again. ”

Link does want to take down Oxola Farm. Such a mountain pasture has a higher livestock capacity, and he may be able to graze on it. But what Link valued was that the altitude here was one or two hundred meters higher than that of Snake Valley. The winds there are stronger than those in the Snake Valley.

And that farm was actually connected to the land he had already bought.

On top of that, the mountains aren't too steep. If a wind farm is built here, it will not be much more difficult than the plains.

But the owner of Oxola's farm, like George Baker, once wanted to wait for a real estate developer to buy his farm. And Link was the first to find him and make an offer.

It's just that he seems to think that Link's price is too low.
