America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 97 Emergencies

When Abel came out of the small room with an expressionless expression, both Dwayne and Alexander looked at him.

"What happened?" Alexander asked in a deep voice.

Abel responded: "Nothing. But I have to go back to New York. There is urgent business there."

After finishing speaking, Abel looked at Dwayne, "Mr. Dwayne. Regarding the relocation of Alais Company and my other company, I would like to trouble you."

"No problem," Dwayne said.

"Then I'll leave first." Abel said to Alexander.

"Don't you go back and see your mother? Emily has been very busy recently." Alexander said.

Abel shook his head gently, and then said: "No. After the things here are settled, I will come back often in the future."

"Okay." Alexander, who is not a mother-in-law, said, "Then you go and do your own business."

"Okay. Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, Mr. Dwayne."

"goodbye."

Coming out of the office, Abel saw David Jones and several bodyguards chatting with several people in Alexander's campaign office.

After he came out, he said very directly: "David and Lincoln stay.

What I want you to do next, I will tell you via email and phone later. "

"Edward, Johnson, and Lin, let's go."

Let me explain a little bit, wait until Alexander and Dwayne come out.

Abel had left Alexander's office.

"Abel looks like he's in some trouble?" Dwayne said.

Alexander: "How do I know? But I believe him because he is my son."

"All right."

Dwayne shrugged, “Let’s go, call John and the others in.

We need to discuss how to get Mr. Smith's money into our account in a safe way. "

Alexander nodded, turned around and returned to the office first.

Abel, for his part, quickly left Fort Worth.

In the meantime, I contacted the staff of American Express at the Fort Worth-Dallas Airport.

The Gulfstream G400 he was riding in when he arrived has not left yet.

I can just take this plane back to New York.

About an hour and a half later, amid the huge engine sound of the Gulfstream G400.

The plane took off and headed towards the east coast.

In the cabin, Abel looked at the mobile phone and satellite phone on the table in front of him.

Within an hour, he had figured out what was going on over there in New York.

As David Mellon said, Financial Crimes Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Not long ago, someone led a raid on Smith Capital.

They had a search warrant and Smith Capital's security couldn't stop it.

It is illegal to stop it, and it will be more likely to be unclear in the follow-up.

These people then entered Smith Capital and summoned a Smith Capital employee named Sophia and a Smith Capital employee named Jess.

These two people have not been working in the company for a long time. One was four months ago and the other was three months ago.

Well, actually the employees who come to work in the company don’t work long hours.

After all, it has only been about six months since the company was established.

The Financial Crime Investigation Team claimed that they had evidence of certain financial crimes committed by the two men.

They said they wanted to investigate these two people and suspected that Smith Capital was related to these two cases. They needed to take away the information and account books related to Smith Capital and the two people for investigation.

In the words of David Mellon, everything is in compliance with regulations.

Whether it's federal law, state law, or Manhattan's own laws.

The other party's procedures are very formal, and similar things happen on Wall Street almost every week.

It’s just that this time it happened to Smith Capital.

David’s actual words were: “It’s not a big deal, they can’t find anything.

But it's a signal, and it's unclear what they want to convey to us.

So you'd better come back first. "

In addition, Abel also had a phone call with Smith Capital’s chief legal officer and his chief personal counsel, Caroline.

The other party has rushed to Smith Capital and said that it is already understanding the whole story of this incident.

He also promised that he would find out within half an hour and tell him.

At present, this is the situation.

But on the plane, Abel felt a little irritable.

While he was irritated, the satellite phone placed in front of him rang.

Generally speaking, mobile phones are not allowed to be turned on when flying.

Because after the mobile phone is turned on, the mobile phone will automatically search for signal frequency bands.

These frequency bands happen to be similar to many of the frequency bands used by aircraft towers.

Mobile phones searching for signals can easily interfere with the aircraft tower, ultimately affecting the connection between the aircraft and the tower, and causing accidents.

This problem will be solved as technology develops more and more.

But now, even a private jet.

Ordinary mobile phones are still not allowed to be opened.

Unless you are willing to take risks, you are not afraid of problems with your phone.

Fortunately, rich people have solutions for rich people.

Instead of using ordinary mobile phones, the rich can choose to use satellite phones.

Satellite phones use satellite signals directly and will not affect the aircraft.

".Hello?"

He turned on the somewhat bulky satellite phone and heard the voice of lawyer Caroline.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I was remiss in asking you to run back from Texas."

"Madam, now is not the time to say these words." Abel said:

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"I contacted Robert Morgenthau and he acknowledged that he had issued the investigative order."

"But this guy told me that Sofia Kender and Jace Bledsoe will be released the day after tomorrow at the latest.

And Smith Capital won't have any problems, because you don't have any problems yourself. "

said Caroline.

Hearing what he said, Abel on the plane couldn't help but frown.

He ran to his company and arrested two people from his company.

Then he said that there was nothing wrong with his company.

Just a routine investigation.

Even if that's true, what does it mean?

He said: "Ma'am, I don't care whether Sophia and Jace will be acquitted or Bell will go to jail.

From the moment they commit a crime, they are no longer employees of Smith Capital.

They have nothing to do with me. "

"What I'm concerned about is. Obviously you already said last time that this incident is over."

"Then why did they come to my company without telling you and me when I was not around?"

"Can't they inform you first?"

"I'm more concerned about this than whether anything happened to those two criminals."

"Ma'am, do you think they tricked you, or..."

He didn't say anything clearly, but Caroline knew what he meant.

She knew that her employer suspected that she was playing a trick on him.

And those prosecutors were playing tricks on him.

Strictly speaking, Caroline felt that she had indeed been tricked by Robert Morgenthal.

She was at fault first.

Therefore, New York’s legal female satan had no choice but to respond:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. It was an oversight on my part. It's my fault."

Aboard the Gulfstream G400, Abel was silent for a moment.

Then he spoke softly: "It seems that we were both fooled by each other.

So what exactly are they doing this for? "

"I don't know. So I'm investigating," Caroline replied.

"Okay. I'm twenty thousand feet up in Texas.

In about an hour and a half, we'll be back in New York.

In two hours, I'll be back at Smith Capital. "Abel said.

"No problem. Two hours. See you in two hours.

Mr. Smith, I will find out about this when the time comes. "Caroline gritted her teeth and said.

She is also very angry now.

Robert Morgenthal tricked her, causing clients to question her professional abilities and connections.

This was something Caroline couldn't stand.

If it happens once, it will happen a second time.

Then Caroline, will she still hang out in New York in the future?

She was also very angry and gave Abel a military order.

"Okay. So, ma'am, I'll see you in two hours."

"no problem."

With Caroline's voice of agreement, Abel hung up the phone.

Holding the satellite phone, he closed his eyes and fell asleep while thinking about the various possibilities behind this matter.

And how you should respond.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and took out his phone to look for the number on it.

Then he used the satellite phone to call one of the contacts.

The call was quickly connected, and the person on the other end obviously knew that the satellite phone belonged to him.

"BOSS?"

"It's me. Melio, I need you to do a few things."

"Please tell me."

"First, contact newspapers in New York and other cities. I hope that tomorrow, I can see these newspapers expressing critical voices towards the Manhattan District Attorney's Office."

"This." On the other side of the phone, Melio, the deputy general manager of Smith Capital, was a little embarrassed.

"The media elsewhere is fine. They're not afraid of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

But New York, including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, may not cooperate. "

Melio said.

"Then let other newspapers report it. I don't care what method you use. Do you understand?"

"Understood," Melio said.

“That’s it for now, do this first.

You can tell Mellon and ask him to help cooperate. "

"Mr. Mellon is next to me."

"so be it."

"."

After saying that, Abel hung up the satellite phone.

After making the call, Abel finally put the satellite phone back on the table.

He closed his eyes and thought about it again.

He found that currently, he could only do this.

After all, it is still because the background is too shallow.

If the Smith family is not just an influential family in the Tarrant County, Texas area.

But if it has influence throughout the federation, or has great influence within both parties.

Then you can play more cards.

But if that were the case, this probably wouldn't happen.

After thinking about it, he picked up the satellite phone again.

The person he planned to call this time was the person with the name [IRS Jed] on his phone.

But the phone number was pressed, but in the end it was not dialed.

Instead, he put the satellite phone back on the table.

This [IRS] Jed is the deputy director of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Abel is the person with the highest connections and the highest rank in the IRS.

Because he is a good tax-paying citizen, Abel has a good relationship with the IRS.

David Mellon once joked with Abel——

“With your relationship with the IRS, we won’t be afraid even if we go to jail in the future.

Jed will definitely get us by then, at least he can get us to the IRS's own high-level prison.

It is said that it is almost the same as Palm Beach. "

But when Abel thought about it, the IRS had nothing to say about this incident.

Because when people investigate their own companies, they use the name of financial crimes.

It is not the most common tax evasion, and the IRS has little say in it.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of calling the IRS.

After making these two phone calls, he was still feeling a little irritable.

That feeling of being fooled lingered in my heart for a long time.

It’s not a big deal, it’s just a thorn in the side.

Just like when using LoL or pesticides.

It was just as uncomfortable to have a head that could easily be obtained slip away.

It's impossible to sleep like this, and it's uncomfortable to even close your eyes and fall asleep.

There is still more than an hour before the plane arrives in New York.

He opened his eyes irritably and happened to see the bodyguard Edward not far away.

A stewardess was holding a blanket and was talking to Edward.

It turned out to be this stewardess who saw Abel sleeping with his eyes closed.

He wanted to bring a blanket to cover him, but Edward stopped him.

The bodyguards had to check before they could put the blanket on Abel.

Abel took a closer look and saw that the flight attendant looked familiar.

It seems that she was one of the four flight attendants in the same batch as Katherine Jones when she went back to Texas last time.

He had never seen the other three stewardesses this time.

The senior flight attendant wore exquisite makeup and a silk scarf tied around her swan-like neck.

Under the silk scarf, you can vaguely see the lace. A slim waist, slender thighs, and straight calves.

Her looks are not as good as those of Katherine Jones, but her figure is about the same, even hotter.

Looking at this high-end private flight attendant with good looks and figure, Abel thought of Katherine Jones.

He reported to American Express that all flight attendants who would serve him in the future must undergo various physical examinations.

Ensure absolute health.

At the same time, he also asked these flight attendants to be "safe".

Because he really didn't want to be like last time, when he looked at Katherine Jones and was very moved.

But because of worry, he couldn't take action.

After that, American Express happily fulfilled his request.

It's very simple, just add money.

Whether it's American Express, Delta Air Lines, or flight attendants.

Everyone is happy.

The premise is that if you make money, you can talk about anything.

Looking at this beautiful air and thinking of this, Abel, who was in a irritable mood, snapped his fingers.

"Let her come here," he said.

Upon hearing this, Edward quickly turned aside and let her pass.

The beautiful stewardess was stunned for a moment, then a bright and beautiful smile broke out on her face.

She was holding a high-quality wool blanket and approached with a charming catwalk as if walking on a catwalk.

"Sir, what can I do for you?

I saw you were asleep just now, and I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I wanted to come over and cover you with a blanket, but now it seems"

"I want to cover myself with a blanket now," Abel said, looking at her.

The beautiful flight attendant was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Okay, okay. I'll cover it for you right now."

Abel nodded.

The stewardess, who had a slender waist, knelt down and covered Abel with a blanket with a smile.

The squatting service highlights the flight attendant's slender figure, and her two slender legs are particularly attractive against the black stockings.

After the blanket was covered, Abel suddenly spoke.

"Is that Maria?"

The flight attendant who had Maria Johnson written on her badge nodded quickly and said:

"Yes. Do you need any other services?"

"It's necessary." Abel, whose lower body was covered with a blanket, said playfully:

"I think my belt is a little tight, could you loosen it for me?"

Maria was stunned, then continued to serve with a smile: "Okay."

As she said that, she was about to turn over the blanket and help Abel loosen his belt.

But her move to open the blanket was stopped.

"It's better to keep the blanket on. Because I'm a little cold and don't want to let go of the blanket."

"I want you to get inside the blanket and help me loosen my leash."

Abel said softly to her beautiful face.
