Chapter 1249 Settling Accounts After Autumn
In front of the opera house, Lilith looked at her watch again, with a worried look on her face.
Twenty minutes had passed since their agreed time, and her boyfriend Stephen hadn't shown up yet. He was never late.
Lilith was worried because she knew her father was in Los Angeles. And what he will do, even her daughter doesn't know.
They thought they didn't know that Stephen's identity had been discovered, but Lilith already knew about it when Aimo said goodbye.
Aimo couldn't refuse her mother's request, but she also couldn't resist Lilith's acting like a baby. It was really difficult for her to be caught between the two.
"Lilith~" Stephen ran from the tram station, panting; "Sorry, I'm late."
"What happened?" Lilith stared at him and asked seriously.
"No, my mother asked me to send some things, and I couldn't refuse." Stephen shrugged with dodge eyes.
'He's already seen Dad. ’ Lilith was very sure of this in her heart.
Whenever he was a little scared, he would shrug his shoulders like a black man. And when he was lying, his eyeballs were the same as they are now, rolling around but not daring to look at the other party.
Fear + father.
She is a bit rebellious, but that doesn't mean she isn't smart. She has inherited the good genes of Li Zitao and Jia Bao, and has a brain far more intelligent than her pretty appearance.
Otherwise, how could she be able to handle the work of Li's real estate... This has become a thing of the past, just think about dismissing her parents and mother!
However, now Lilith is not angry at all, but a little happy.
When Stephen changed the subject, urged her to go to the drama quickly, and broke up without any tone of voice, the joy was even stronger.
What she likes is the respect from her father. He didn't drive Stephen away for no reason, but chose to respect his choice.
Lilith only needs to know this. As for what her father said to Stephen, and what warnings and threats there are, she can roughly guess in her heart.
For this feeling of being silently protected and loved, Lilith does not resist in her heart, on the contrary she enjoys it very much!
'I don't know how long Dad will be here, maybe I should invite him to the game. ’ Lilith didn’t care much about the competition or not. She wanted to invite her father to watch it just because she was the school’s cheerleader now.
And before and after the game and during the intermission, she will lead her "own" cheerleading team into the arena and be the most dazzling protagonist in the game.
...
Having settled his daughter's feelings and Jiabao's worries for the time being, Li Zitao needs to solve his own troubles next.
The outside reports about the skunk will not have an actual impact on it, but the list that the so-called military special investigation team has not yet determined will pose a threat to it.
After Li Zitao returned to the urban area, he went directly to the think tank office. In the next half day, he dialed one number after another in the office.
However, everyone he is looking for is not an old man who enjoys life leisurely, and his daily schedule is no easier than him.
Li Zitao could only leave a text message and asked the secretary to tell the other party that he had called, and then walked back and forth in the office, waiting for the phone to ring.
Up to now, Li Zitao's state of mind is very peaceful,
It's not like a little gossip will mess you up.
However, he is also sure that this so-called special investigation team really exists.
Even if it does not exist now, it is still under preparation, because the Ministry of the Army has not come out to refute the rumors until today, and there has been no movement from the spokesperson in Washington.
This attitude is enough to explain many problems. The establishment of the investigation team will not deliberately target him. He still has this confidence.
If he didn't even have this confidence, what value and significance would his hard work and achievements over the years have.
‘Perhaps something went wrong? ’ Li Zitao speculated in his heart.
Since the end of the war, the Ministry of Justice has set up an investigative committee and began to investigate all government and military suppliers during the war.
War wealth is very cool to earn, and it is always cool to earn money all the time.
But as Li Zitao said before, there will always be a time to settle accounts after the fall, but Washington and the Department of Justice are moving faster than expected.
United Airlines (Boeing), North American Airlines, Northrop, Litton Industries, Chrysler, General Motors, Ford, Colt and Stark Arms Research into Aegis...
Industry giants one after another were censored and questioned, and random inquiries from top to bottom made these companies cautious.
At the same time, it is not only the survey of giants, but also the survey of small and medium-sized enterprises is faster and simpler.
Compared with the giants, those small and medium-sized companies that want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune during the war are like naked fruit girls, and they only need to glance at them to see clearly.
Those who should be punished, those who should be prosecuted, and those who should go to prison cannot escape. From last year to this year, there are also many companies that have gone bankrupt in the United States.
The only difference from the Great Depression is that these bankrupt companies were not because of a broken capital chain, but because they were closed or the boss ran away.
We didn’t dare to ask if we brought our sister-in-law with us, but we only knew that we were very chic when we were running, boarding a luxury cruise ship with a large deposit slip, and waved goodbye to America.
However, after the first batch of fleeing businessmen were extradited back to the United States, the mood of the rest of those who fled to other countries to enjoy life could no longer be beautiful.
They were not simply intimidated by the extradition, but shocked by the simplicity of the matter. It was just a greeting from the Secretary of State and sending the information to the other party, and those people were arrested and repatriated by the local police without any delay.
In fact, this is not only because of the contribution and strength of the United States in World War II, but more importantly, the mistakes made by these people.
The countries they chose to take refuge after escaping from the United States were all on the side of the Allies in World War II. They suffered heavy losses in the war and suffered unspeakable pain and catastrophe.
And they are the greedy vampires who ingest blood in these pains and despairs. Under such circumstances, who would reject the extradition bill proposed by the United States.
If it weren't for the fact that the whole of Europe is looking forward to the help of the United States and its strong national power, they would prefer to execute the 'vampires' on the spot, and by the way, they can also earn a certain income from their inheritance.
The successive renditions have left those fleeing desperate, and wherever they fled, they will be sent back to the place they fled.
The person who wanted to bribe a large sum of money was even more desperate. The other party accepted his bribe with a smile, served him delicious food, and then personally sent him on board when he was ready. The smile on his face was still as friendly as a family member.
