Due to the explosion in the city center, traffic in Times Square also began to become congested and paralyzed.

The car hunting game was forced to stop. Elvis was feeling annoyed when his followers called him.

"Master Ai...Master Aivis, the person...has been lost."

He frowned and was about to lose his temper when the person on the other end of the line quickly added, "We followed them into a building, and the person disappeared. But less than 20 minutes later, the building exploded."

"You should have seen the news."

Elvis's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked up at the real-time broadcast on the big screen in the square.

There aren't so many coincidences in the world. That guy just took the high-density compressed propane gas tank from him.

"Oh, and we found out that this building is owned by the Dawn Society!" The henchman swallowed nervously, knowing that they had run into a tough opponent.

When faced with someone who dares to go against the Dawn Society, Elvis is destined to swallow his anger.

"Remember, keep everything that happened tonight a secret. Anyone who dares to leak it out will be killed!" Elvis gritted his teeth, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

If Dawn finds out that the propane gas tank used in the explosion came from him, the family behind him will definitely be retaliated against.

The Locke Group now has senior executives running for parliament, and there can be no mistakes at this critical juncture.

- the next day

The Jocab&co. Godfather's 50th Anniversary Limited Edition watch reflects brilliant light under the dim light of the study.

The hand wearing the watch is left with traces of old age.

Lambert, the old president of the Dawn Society, lowered his blue-gray eyes, which had always been elegant and easy-going, and his aura was strong and overwhelming.

He took a puff of his cigar, his tone somewhat disappointed: "You should know why I called you here."

Adrian lowered his head in embarrassment, maintaining composure on the surface, but his heart was actually in turmoil.

In just a few days, he first lost the elite killer team that he was most entrusted with, and then his vault with the largest reserves was blown up.

Adrian never thought that he would suffer such a big setback because of a teenage girl.

"Father, I was just careless for a moment..."

Lambert raised his hand and interrupted him: "I don't like to hear the conclusions of losers."

He always likes to listen to the plans of the winner.

"Given your recent performance, joining IC Command should be put on hold for now."

Adrian's breathing stagnated, and he looked up at Lambert in disbelief.

"Father……"

The Dawn Society is divided into many departments, and the most important department is the IC Command. It is like the brain, the soul of the entire Dawn Society.

Being the IC Minister guarantees that one will become the Dawn Chairman, but being the Chairman doesn't guarantee becoming the IC Minister. And if one can't even get into the IC headquarters, then forget about even thinking about the Chairman position.

The division and restraint of power is such a drama.

The IC, including Minister Lambert, has only 13 seats in total. Only one seat became vacant after more than a decade.

Adrian originally thought he could enter IC ahead of Xu Heqing, but he never expected to be rejected so quickly.

“The more insignificant a person is, the more likely they are to bring you down in the most unexpected places.”

"The higher-ups at the command center are very dissatisfied with you. You should calm down for the time being. Only when you calm down will your wisdom and strategy have a chance to come into play."

Adrian knew that Lambert was trying to provoke his irritable temper, so he didn't argue anymore and just left tactfully.

The Dawn Society's growth and development to this day was inseparable from the precise and accurate decisions made by this adoptive father. Adrien understood better than anyone how deep and calculating he was.

The study door was closed. Lambert narrowed his eyes and picked up a piece of personal information on the desk.

His two most valued sons have now fallen into the hands of a small-time figure whom he has never taken seriously, forcing him to divert his attention.

Especially the kid He Qing, he even had some inappropriate thoughts.

Shen Shu...

He is so brave, he looks like a gangster at such a young age.

It would have been nice if she were a member of the Dawn Society, but the key is that she isn't. Lambert frowned and shook his head, saying, "What a pity."

"..."

In a private hospital in New York——

"Dad, I heard from Mom that you've been very busy in the country recently?"

"The doctor said my condition has stabilized and I can be discharged after six more courses of treatment. You don't need to run back and forth so frequently. It's too tiring."

Zhang Xiaojing leaned against the hospital bed, looking at her father's tired face, feeling very sorry.

Zhang Tongliang glanced at the flow rate of the infusion tube and tucked the corner of the quilt for his daughter.

"I've been working at a newly opened garment factory in the country lately, and the business volume is huge, so I'm quite busy."

"You still have some time. Just focus on recuperating and don't worry so much."

Zhang's mother was peeling an apple for her daughter and looking at the two of them with a gratified smile.

After moving from Beijing to New York for medical treatment, Zhang Xiaojing began to have doubts.

The CCi clothing brand where her father worked for many years went bankrupt, so why could he still spend more money than before on her medical treatment?

Every time she asked, her father kept silent. Over time, Zhang Xiaojing stopped asking.

She could actually vaguely guess that her father might have made some dishonorable and dirty deal with some people.

But Zhang Xiaojing didn't care about the price of this deal or the people and things that were sacrificed.

Even though her life was saved by someone else's broken family and ruined career prospects, she didn't feel much.

She only cares about being a vested interest and having enough money to treat her illness and survive.

The underlying nature of human beings is selfishness.

But retribution will always come, sooner or later.

"Uncle Zhang, how are you?"

A cold female voice broke the happy atmosphere of the family in the ward. Zhang Tongliang and his wife turned pale as paper when they saw the newcomer.

They stood up in astonishment, disbelief written all over their faces.

How...how did she find out here?

Zhang Xiaojing thought that this was another distant relative of some family, who heard that they had settled in Country M, so she came to seek refuge and show her courtesy.

This kind of thing has happened quite a bit recently, but the parents' reaction was a bit too surprised and abnormal. A teenager wouldn't do that...

Shen Shu raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the ward environment casually, curled his lips and sat on the sofa.

The Liming Society had gone to great lengths to bribe Zhang Tongliang. A ward with this kind of equipment in a private hospital would cost at least five figures a day.

"Is your daughter's illness cured well?"

Zhang Xiaojing frowned when she heard this, thinking that this relative was too uneducated.

She was about to say something, but she saw her father Zhang Tongliang kneeling down in front of Shen Shu without hesitation!
