Power of Money
Chapter 1083

"I'm fine," Jason said stiffly.

"You've been missing for nearly two months. Everyone thought that you... Well, I didn't expect you to call me. I'm very happy."

Phoebe tried to make her tone as relaxed as possible, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she was still a little nervous.

"I'm fine, thank you." Jason didn't raise his head as he stared at the cup of water floating in front of him. His mind was filled with the words he had heard after getting through Phoebe's call.

"I'm going to peel an apple for you. It has just been sent over from SX. It's sweet. I'll get it for you."

Phoebe felt uneasy and hurriedly stood up. She went to the kitchen and gave Jason an apple and a fruit knife. She stood at the door of the kitchen and occasionally glanced at Jason, who was silent, while peeling the apple.

Since the accident happened in the Jade Valley, her eyes had been fixed there all the time.

Of the hundreds of casualties, close to ten had gone missing.

The casualties were all the security guards of Shen's Group and Chan Group, as well as the unofficial personnel of six or seven different identities.

Those who died were frozen in the funeral house, and the other departments issued a declaration of the body's ownership.

For those who were still alive, their eyes and tongues were all gouged out, their ears also cut through by sharp weapons, leaving behind a life, completely losing the ability to communicate with the outside world.

Moreover, any of the missing people's background could cause a great disturbance in the province, or even in the country.

This was a big criminal case that shocked the whole nation.

The work unit set up a command center as soon as possible, sent people to control the public opinion on the scene and press, and reported it to the superior in time. The superior paid great attention to this, and a special team led by Wenren Tingting was set up, and he was holding a meeting now. He was gathering all the investigation information during this period of time to formulate the next step of the plan. The door was suddenly opened from the outside.

A middle-aged man wearing a black tunic suit with a calm face strode in.

This was the first time Jason looked up.

He looked up at the approaching face and immediately stood up. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Uncle Wen, how is it going?" Marvin squatted down and looked at Jason in surprise. "I thought you had to arrive later. Take a seat first. We'll talk about it after dinner."

After saying that, he did not give Jason a chance to open his mouth. Instead, he turned around, walked into the study, and closed the door. Looking at Jason standing still in the same place, Phoebe said, "Let's eat first. There must be good news. Otherwise, my father wouldn't say that." "Good news..." Jason nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Dinner was sumptuous.

Chewing the Qingjiang Fish, the yellow dishes in the reverse season, as well as the beer duck and lamb chops, and Marvin even opened a few bottles of beer. Phoebe had said that Wenren Tong had not drunk wine for many years.

Today, he made an exception and opened a few bottles of beer to entertain Jason.

"Let's eat."

After the food was served, Wenren Tingting waved his hand and everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.

During the meal, Marvin did not warmly raise the topic, trying to let Jason open his mouth.

Instead, he constantly poured wine into his cup, clinked his glass, and then drained it in one gulp.

Wen Ren and Phoebe sat by the side and silently picked up food for the two of them. Then, they silently stared at them as if they were the daughters-in-law of a humble family. At 7:30 p.m., they were full of wine and rice.

The nanny came up to clear the bowls and chopsticks, and Wenren and Phoebe went out to run. Wenting told Jason to go to the study and made two cups of strong tea.

"I haven't slept for almost three days. My old bones can't compare with you young people. If I don't drink tea, I can fall asleep when I talk."

Marvin sat by the French window of the study with a cup of tea, pointed to the sofa next to him with a smile and asked Jason to sit down.

Jason did not sit down. Holding a teacup in his hand, he sat quietly opposite to Marvin.

"It is the new year's..."

Wenren Tingting looked out of the window and felt a little sad.

"Well, it's the New Year's Eve in seven days." Jason seldom took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, year after year, year after year, another year of the Ming dynasty... Now it's the new year, and the cannons are not allowed. It's really boring." Marvin shook his head helplessly.

Jason felt a little helpless and said, "Do you have anyone who dares to operate when you shoot the cannon?"

"Haha." Marvin laughed. "Do you think sitting in my position doesn't need to worry about anything? You're wrong. It's cold on the top. The more important the position is, the more people will stare at it. Although they can't see or touch it, they are staring at you all the time, waiting for you to make mistakes, and then stretched out countless hands to pull you down, and trampled on you..."

Jason did not speak, but he agreed with what he said.

"All right, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'll tell you what I want to say directly."

After drinking two cups of tea, Marvin breathed a sigh of relief. He put the cup on the table and looked at Jason with a serious face.

"Phoebe must have told you about it, so I won't repeat it to you. Let's talk about the information sent to us by the meeting today."

Jason's entire body shook, and he clenched his fists tightly together.

"Maybe you've already prepared for the worst, but what I want to tell you is that the real situation in Jade Valley may be worse than you expected!" Marvin said word by word, staring at Jason.
