Mr. Nelson left.
In the quaint little room, the crippled Brown slowly cleaned up the scattered chessboard after Mr. Nelson left.
He sorted the black and white chess pieces one by one and put them in their respective slots. As he was doing this, he said lightly, “What are you still doing at the door? Don’t stand there if you’re not coming in.”
The door creaked as it was pushed open. Adele walked in with dissatisfaction and sat down opposite him angrily. She said, “You punk, did you install a surveillance camera outside?”
“Surveillance camera?”
The crippled Brown chuckled and said, “I am not you. I am not so brave to install a bug in the car of the Policy Institute. If the second uncle hadn’t said something, you would have been arrested.”
Adele’s face became stiff, and she said replied guiltily, “You know everything?”
“After you install your bugs, there are people removing them one by one after you leave. If Lieutenant Colonel Zangara, who handled this matter, was not the second uncle’s subordinate and he did not spare you when he found out, do you think you could sit here and talk to me?”
Adele stuck out her tongue and patted her chest as if she was afraid. Then, she asked carefully, “Does Dad know?”
The crippled Brown said angrily, “The second uncle treats you even better than he treats his own daughter. He forcefully suppressed this, if not, dad would have known a long time ago.”
“Wow, I’ll give him two of dad’s finest collectible Brandy tomorrow to thank him properly.”
The crippled Brown frowned and said, “It’s fine if you occasionally fool around, but this kind of thing is very sensitive and taboo. Don’t do this anymore.”
Adele snorted, a little guilty and a little unconvinced. “Yeah, yeah, you’re so annoying. I just want to know more inside information about this matter right now.”
“You’re pretty concerned about Jasper’s affairs,” The crippled Brown said meaningfully.
