Chapter 750 Green



Chapter 750 Green

"It's also because they are too poor. Emma had been ill for a long time, but she kept delaying treatment. As a result, it was found that she had advanced liver cancer and she didn't have much time to live. The laboratory provided clinical drug trials to Ms. Emma at the time. Although she couldn't defeat the disease in the end, it was indeed much better than her having no one to rely on in her last days. But Mr. Charlie twisted this kindness into... Alas, we also feel very helpless."

Wenliang's heart sank little by little.

The other party's response was flawless, and its logical loop was seamless. It attributed all unfavorable clues that might point to the association to old man Charlie's "delusion" and "misunderstanding", and completely cleared the KL Group and the association.

Wen Liang showed an understanding expression: "So that's how it is... I understand, thank you for your explanation."

She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would not get anything out of him. Today only demonstrated the association's standard public relations tactics when faced with doubts.

Lu Yao cooperated at the right time: "Excuse me, could you give me a business card? We would like to know the association's current membership procedures and requirements."

The receptionist immediately pulled out a high-quality business card from the business card box next to her and said, "Of course, if you need anything, you can always call this hotline. Our health consultants are happy to provide professional support and help to families like yours."

"Thank you very much." Lu Yao took the business card and thanked him politely.

The two left with the receptionist's earnest farewell words of "Take care" and "Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Walking into the cold and turbid air of the underground garage, Wen Liang seemed to be able to take a breath.

She leaned tiredly against the cold car body.

"It's watertight." Lu Yao's voice was low.

"Let's go back to Philadelphia," Wen Liang said, "We can't find anything here. The tail has been swept away long ago."

"Row."

Lu Yao responded.

The two were about to drive back to Philadelphia when Wen Liang's cell phone suddenly rang.

It was old Charlie, whom Wen Liang had just recorded in the phone book not long ago.

Wen Liang answered the phone immediately, "Mr. Charlie?"

"Fei, something seems to have happened to Jamie! I don't know who to trust, so I can only call you." Charlie's anxious voice came from the phone.

She turned on the speakerphone and said, "Mr. Charlie, don't be anxious. Speak slowly. 'Jamie seems to be in trouble.' What happened?"

Wasn't Jamie taken away by that non-existent organization a few years ago?

"Actually...actually, I forged the notice from the child care center...After Emma's accident, I suspected that they would do something to Jamie, so I sent Jamie to an old friend of mine, Green, and pretended that Jamie was taken away by an unknown person." Old Charlie said a lot in one breath.

"Green knew my situation and helped me raise Jamie. In order to avoid being discovered, we rarely contacted each other and almost never called each other. Every half a month, he would send me some photos of Jamie. It has been like this for so many years. Jamie in the photos has grown up slowly, and I have never doubted anything. But after you came to me, I was very panicked, so I sent a message to Green saying that I wanted to have a video call with Jamie. Green said that Jamie had not finished school yet and asked me not to worry, Jamie is doing well now. I called Green, but Green didn't answer, saying it was inconvenient. I pretended to chat with him as if reminiscing about the past, but found that the person who contacted me was not Green at all..."

Wen Liang and Lu Yao looked at each other. They didn’t expect it to be like this.

Lu Yao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He turned the steering wheel without hesitation. The high-performance sedan drew a neat arc on the cold and smooth ground. The tires made a short scream as they rubbed against the ground, and it sped towards Charlie's residence.

Wen Liang leaned forward slightly, holding the phone tightly, and forced himself to guide the old man with the most stable voice: "Mr. Charlie, don't worry, we are rushing to your place. Now, please tell me carefully, where does Mr. Green live now? How did you find out that the person who contacted you on the other side was not him?"

Old Charlie's heavy breathing came from the other end of the phone. After a few seconds, he forced himself to steady his voice and said hoarsely, "Green lives in the small town of Michal in Harrisburg... Just now he said it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone, so I chatted with him and lied tentatively, but he didn't respond at all..."

Wen Liang concentrated and held his breath: "How did you test it?"

The old man's voice was filled with a hint of fear and anger of being deceived. "I deliberately said, 'Green, thank you. If it weren't for you, Jamie might have been taken away by the bad guys. My old comrade, you saved my life during the war, and now you have saved my grandson. I really don't know how to thank you.'"

"But the text message from the other side was: 'Old buddy, why are you being so polite to me? It happened so many years ago, let's not talk about it. We are comrades who fought together, and it is my duty to help you.'"

"Miss Fei!" Old Charlie's voice suddenly rose, filled with bone-chilling coldness and grief. "We didn't know each other at all during the war! We met more than 20 years ago, on Christmas Eve of the last year of the last century. At that time, someone held a veterans' gathering in Harrisburg. It was snowing heavily outside that night. We were the last two to help clean up the leftovers. We stood at the door together, smoking pipes and chatting. At that time, we realized that we had participated in the same battle, and the conversation started... Later, we gradually became close friends."

Wen Liang understood instantly.

The people on the other side may only know that Charlie and Green were comrades-in-arms, but they don’t know that they didn’t know each other when they joined the war, but only met each other later.

"and then?"

"Then..." Old Charlie's voice trembled slightly, "Then I continued to chat with the person on the other end for a few words and called you. The other end probably hasn't realized that I've discovered something unusual. Miss Fei, I'm worried that Green has..."

Based on Charlie's understanding of Green, he is definitely not someone who would sell out his friends for money.

There was silence on the other side, and I didn't know when the person was replaced. There was only one possibility: Green had been killed.

Maybe, not long after he sent Jamie there eight years ago, something happened to Green...

Old Charlie sobbed bitterly.

"Mr. Charlie, tell me the phone number that Green just contacted you with. I'll have my friend locate it and we'll be downstairs at your house right away. Before the other side reacts, we'll head to Harrisburg right away."

Old Charlie gave a mobile phone number and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Wen Liang wrote down the number, called Xin Feng, explained the situation to him, and asked him to locate it immediately.

Xin Feng did not hang up the phone. He only heard the clacking sound of keyboard typing coming from the other side of the receiver.

After a moment, Xin Feng said, "It's located. This is a Harrisburg number, but the current location is Atlantic City, New Jersey."

"Atlantic City?" Wen Liang didn't know much about the geographical location of Country M, and couldn't remember where Atlantic City was for a moment.
