After a month, something sensational happened in W City, even shocking the whole country. The criminal gang which had always been dominating and even made the police helpless
collapsed overnight.
The police seized dozens of tons of unfinished white flour, destroyed more than a dozen underground processing plants. Nearly 200 people were arrested. This was the biggest drugs raid in the past ten years, with the most criminals arrested and contraband seized.
In an instant, the news was spread wide. Citizens all highly praised the police and gave them the thumbs up.
All they knew was that a lot of people were injured and even killed that night, with a few policemen sacrificed as well.
However, it hadn't been noticed that a woman spent her whole life doing one thing.
Although she had gone wrong in the middle of her lifetime, she finally got back on track.
The incident had a great impact. The police in the entire W City got busy, with much relevant follow-up work underway.
Arya was not shocked by it. Seeing Bella before, she could feel that it would come sooner or later.
But she didn't expect it to be so soon.
It was not hard for her to imagine that the police would not have easily alerted the enemy if they were not fully sure that they would succeed.
Arya closed the computer and rubbed her aching eyebrows with her elbow against the table.
Suddenly, the door of her office was knocked on. Arya tried keeping her emotions in check, but the exhaustion still existed. She said slowly. "Come in."
Jacob pushed the door open and walked in, looking a little serious.
Arya thought he was to talk about the news these days, so she said faintly, "I've already got it."
Eh?
Got it?
"You know?" Jacob said doubtfully.
Arya looked up. The news was so hot, how could she not hear about it?
Wait, were they talking about the different thing?
"What do you want to say?" Arya asked.
"Are you going back?" Jacob thought for a while and told her the truth, "Madam wants me back to the Old Residence."
Arya's breathing paused slightly. She could probably guess what it was for.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her voice. "Jacob, what about thinking more about it?"
The other party shook his head. "I've already made a deal with Bridget."
Arya who actually failed to change the situation sighed and said, "Whatever. I just hope you have no regrets."
Then, Arya stood up and walked out, with Jacob following.
Jacob drove out of the company and Arya sat in the back.
Unusually dull and silent, neither of them spoke.
Only Daisy and Mr. Jones were at home, and the rest were asked to leave.
The house was filled with silence.
"Come in."
A little solemn and dull.
Daisy had already told Mr. Jones the relationship between Jacob and Bridget.
During this period, Jacob came to the house more frequently than before. Besides reporting to Arya, he often came to Bridget.
It seemed that they got along quite well, and the two elders looked quite satisfied and comforted.
"I heard about you and Bridget." Mr. Jones sat straight on the sofa, looking extremely serious.
Jacob lowered his head and listened carefully.
"As you know, Bridget has married once before."
Jacob replied, "I know. It doesn't matter. I've had girlfriends before as well."
He seemed to be frank enough.
Actually, Jacob hadn't had a so-called girlfriend before.
But as a man with physiological needs, he had cuddled with someone before.
Mr. Jones was quite satisfied with his frankness. It was normal for Jacob to have had a girlfriend since he was not a teenager now.
"You and Bridget are not young anymore. I mean, don't delay your marriage. If your family have free time, they'd better come over..."
Jacob clenched his hands, serious and calm. "There is no need. I can make decisions myself. They are far away so it's not convenient."
Jacob had brought his parents over before, but they were used to the life in their hometown and reluctant to leave.
He also had an elder brother who had got married. The two elders were taken good care of by his elder brother in the hometown. They were old and not in good health, so Jacob didn't want to tire them out. Used to living in the countryside, they would have difficulty changing their habits and adapting to life here.
Besides, they didn't plan to hold a wedding ceremony. What they thought was to choose an auspicious day to get the certificate and invited the family to have dinner. There was no need to bother.
Jacob rarely went back to his hometown.
