"That's exactly what I meant."

Phillips said so much, and finally revealed his bottom:

"We rescued you this time from the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it doesn't mean that everything will go well for you in the future."

"Especially if you become the head of the intelligence team this time, more people will target you."

"Friends for decades, I can't bear to see you suffer, you need a helper at this time, a very capable helper."

Hank's face also became solemn: "You mean, recruit him to Chicago to help me?" ”

"That's right." Phillips nodded.

Hank pouted: "But just now he even refused your recruitment." ”

"I just tried his idea, and this time I took this task, I came for this person."

Phillips looked at Hank: "You are the same, I will bring you over to see him before you take office." “

"Anyway, it's a talent, if you approve of it, it's still easy for us old fellows to help him get a position."

Hearing his old friend put his heart into his heart like this, Hank was also moved.

Still, he shook his head: "I trust your judgment. ”

"But again, he even refused your recruitment, what way do you get him to Chicago."

Phillips ripped off his tie and said confidently:

"I know people like him, just as I know you, let's get rid of this serial murderer first, and I'll find a way to persuade him then."

Ethan and Liviera walked out of the café after resting inside Starbucks for a while.

Phillips and his friend, still leisurely drinking coffee outside, did not look like they had come to solve the case.

After saying hello to the two of them, Ethan walked towards where he had parked.

An inexplicable feeling that someone is always staring at me behind me.

Ethan turned his head abruptly, and Phillips picked up his coffee cup and smiled at him.

He smiled back and turned to get into the car.

As he passed through Oak Street, he saw a small building with a sign for sale hanging it and slowing down.

The small building is three storeys tall with a red brick façade and a shop floor below.

Through the glass window, you can see that there are about 100 square meters inside, and the layout inside is square.

Ethan immediately turned the steering wheel and pulled the Dodge Dodge Challenger to the side of the road.

Livira was inexplicable: "Do you have anything else?" ”

"Accomplish your dreams."

Ethan took out his phone and called the real estate agent above.

Livira thought of something and covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.

After a while, the phone answered:

"This is Carly Hopewell, how can I help you?"

"Carly?"

Ethan asked in surprise as his voice widened.

"That's right, who's looking for me?" Carly's voice came from inside, and after a pause, she asked hesitantly:

"Ethan?"

Five minutes later, Carly arrived in a silver Corolla.

I haven't seen her for a long time, and she looks a little haggard than before.

Ethan stepped forward, and the two hugged each other lightly:

"Hey, why are you going to be a real estate agent?"

"I've been doing it all the time, and it's kind of a part-time job." Carly wore a gray woven jacket, and she slung her satchel over her shoulder: "Is this your friend?" ”

"That's right."

Ethan nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I'll open the door first."

Carly patted her head, quickly took out the key from her satchel, and opened the glass door in front of her.

Noticing Liviera's narrowed eyes, Ethan put his arms around her and whispered:

"You're thinking too much, it's just friends."

Follow Carly into the small building, where there is a large glass window in front of the shop on the first floor.

Stepping on the terrazzo floor, you can see the floating dust floating in the sunlight.

Enter through the small door inside and go up the stairs to the second floor.

Ethan leaned against the balcony facing the street and watched as Liviera happily looked around the house.

Taking the cigarette from Carly, the two of them spit out smoke together on the balcony.

Carly flicked off her cigarette ash and asked sullenly:

"Do you have any news of him?"

"Nope."

Ethan shook his head, he knew who Carly was asking.

"Perhaps, I mean maybe, only Jabber can reach him right now." Ethan took a puff of his cigarette and said:

"If you're looking for him, it's better to ask Jaber."

"Forget it." Carly puffed out a plume of smoke:

"Let's let him live well."

"What about you?" Ethan looked at her with a smile, "If you don't mind." ”

"Of course I wouldn't mind."

Carly shrugged her shoulders, "I'm still Mrs. Hopewell, and although life is still bad, it's okay." ”

"Ahem."

Ethan choked on a cigarette and quickly waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

I didn't expect that Gordon resisted everything, and he could be re-accepted by him, so Carly would steal the fun.

He said earnestly: "Hood is gone, the rabbit is gone, it's time for you to move forward, let go of the past." ”

"It's not a good thing to be a housewife and live an ordinary life."

Carly nodded silently, she had been through so much, and she understood this truth.

The peaceful life now is not easy to come by, and it is natural to cherish it.

Crushing the cigarette butt, Carly lifted her spirits:

"Are you planning to buy a property? In fact, the lot here is very valuable, you know, the police station, schools, supermarkets, are all nearby. ”

"Hmm."

Ethan nodded and pointed inside:

"It depends on whether she likes it or not."

Hearing his words, Carly cast an envious glance at Liviera.

After a round of shopping, Livira happily ran over.

The first floor is a shop, and on the second floor, in addition to the large living room, there are two rooms, all the furniture in it is complete, and the overall decoration is biased towards the Nordic style.

The entire second floor looks very bright and gives a refreshing feel.

Above the third floor is a large terrace with several large flower beds in the glass conservatory.

All of this is very much in line with Liviera's aesthetics.

Ethan extinguished the cigarette butt and asked with a smile:

"How's that, do you like it?"

Livira nodded hurriedly, and judging by the expression on her face, she was very satisfied.

As long as you are satisfied, the money earned is spent.

After chatting a few words, Carly also simply quoted him the reserve price, with a total price of 250,000, and the cash transaction could be 20,000 cheaper.

Faced with such conditions, he of course chose cash.

Over the next two days, at Carly's reminder, Ethan spent a sum of money to hire a professional home inspector to inspect the entire building.

After confirming that there is no problem, find a lawyer and implement the purchase contract.

After paying a large sum of cash, the house officially settled in Ethan's name.

He signed a lease contract with Livieira, and signed a long-term contract with her according to the standard of property tax.

Over the course of a year, the rent is more than $3,000, which is equivalent to giving away for nothing.

Livira walks with the wind these days, and with this small building, she can fulfill her dream of opening a flower shop.

Ethan was also relieved to get this thing done.

In any case, bringing her to Pennsylvania can be regarded as an explanation.
