Ethan frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard how long it would take. “That’s too long.”
The interpreter listened to their conversation and said, “Yes, the train would be much faster.”
“Do I look like someone who would take the train?” Ethan raised his eyebrows. If the assistant had not forgotten to book the ticket, he would have been sitting in the first-class cabin on the plane.
Airplanes, luxury cars, and cruise ships were his only means of travel. Nothing else.
The interpreter was silenced by his words.
The trains in Russia were nowhere as fast as the ones in A City. One would have to check in for the flight two hours in advance if one was going to B City, but one would only have to arrive at the rail station 30 minutes in advance.
Plus, getting from A City to B City on the train only took an hour or so.
Ethan opened his laptop and looked at the documents the interpreter had translated at the police station.
He did not dare be careless about Matysh’s case, so he read it several times over, but he still could not think of how to win this lawsuit and protect Matysh.
He was even more curious about how Shandra would help Matysh deal with this lawsuit.
Ethan watched the car in front in silence.
It was the weekend, and there were many people out and about, so there was quite some traffic. By the time they reached B City, it was already three hours later.
Shandra’s driver parked the car in front of a residential building.
Ethan saw Shandra getting out of the car, so he followed her and went up to her. “Ms. Cullen, is this it?”
Shandra glanced at the navigation map on her phone, and it showed the residential building in front of her. “This is it.”
Ethan could not help but click his tongue as he commented, “They said that this country was impoverished and underdeveloped. I didn’t notice that when I was in A City, but I didn’t think that every other place other than A City was actually this run-down.”
The residential building in front of them was time-worn, and the cement on the walls was peeling off everywhere, revealing the red bricks inside. After weathering, the red bricks were graying too.
Listening to his arrogant tone, Shandra rolled her eyes. “Mr. Ethan, do you know how much the building in front of you is worth?”
“How much could such a run-down building be worth?” Ethan’s voice was full of disgust.
An old building like this that could not even compare to an estate in Russia would surely be worth nothing.
“The land of this residential building alone must be worth over a million dollars,” Shandra guessed. The building may be run-down, but the owner of it could even be a multi-millionaire.
Although the economy of B City was not as good as that of A City, it was still developed, and every inch of land was costly. This residential building may be shabby, but the wealth and power of its owner should not be underestimated.
Usually, people who owned residential buildings like these would not just have one. This building was not completely dilapidated, so it could still be rented out. Relying on the rental income alone would not be an issue at all.
It was not like they lived here, so there was no need to rebuild it.
Ethan clicked his tongue and frowned. He did not expect that the land alone would cost that much. If B City’s land price was so high, this place must not be as poor as he thought it was.
The houses were this run-down everywhere.
Ethan glanced at the concrete floor under his feet that were full of holes, and he puckered his lips in contempt.
“Yvette, go and ring the doorbell of 601.” Shandra glanced at the documents. The mother of the girl who committed suicide lived in Unit 601.
She must not have much money to choose to live here.
