Chapter 362
"That's exactly what I mean."

After talking so much, Phillips finally revealed his truth:
"We rescued you this time and got rid of the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it doesn't mean that everything will go well for you in the future."

"Especially if you become the leader of the intelligence team this time, more people will target you."

"Everyone has been friends for decades, I can't bear to see you suffer. At this time, you need helpers, very capable helpers."

Hank's face also became serious: "You mean, recruit him to help me in Chicago?"

"That's right." Phillips nodded.

Hank curled his lips: "But just now he even refused your recruitment."

"I just tried his idea just now, and this time I took up this task, and I came here for this person."

Phillips looked at Hank: "You are the same, before you take office, I will bring you over to see him."

"Anyway, it's a talent. If you approve it, it's easy for us old guys to help him find a job."

Hank was also moved when he heard his old friend confiding his heart in such a way.

But he still shook his head: "I trust your judgment."

"But it's still the same sentence. He even refused your recruitment. How can you get him to Chicago?"

Phillips pulled off his tie and said confidently:

"I know people like him, just like I know you. Let's get rid of this serial murderer first, and then I will try to persuade him."

After resting in Starbucks for a while, Ethan and Rivera walked out of the cafe.

Phillips and his friend were still drinking coffee leisurely outside, and they didn't look like they came to handle the case at all.

After greeting the two of them, Ethan walked towards the parking place.

An inexplicable feeling that someone is always staring at him from behind.

Ethan turned his head suddenly, Phillips picked up the coffee cup and smiled at him.

He returned a smile and turned to get in the car.

Passing Oak Street, he saw a small building with a for sale sign and slowed down.

This small building is three stories high, with a red brick exterior wall, and the lower floor is a shop.

Through the glass window, you can see that the inside is about [-] square meters, and the layout inside is square.

Ethan immediately turned the steering wheel and parked the Dodge Challenger on the side of the road.

Rivera was inexplicable: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Fulfill your dreams."

Ethan took out his mobile phone and called the real estate agent above.

Rivera thought of something, covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were full of disbelief.

After a while, the phone was connected:
"This is Carly Hopewell, may I help you?"

"Carly?"

Ethan raised his voice and asked in surprise.

"That's right, who is looking for me?" Carly's voice came from inside, and after a pause, she asked hesitantly:
"Ethan?"

Five minutes later, Carly arrived at the scene in a silver Corolla.

Long time no see, she looks a little haggard than before.

Ethan stepped forward, and the two hugged lightly:
"Hey, when did you become a real estate agent?"

"I've been doing it all the time, maybe it's a part-time job." Carly was wearing a gray woven coat, and she hung her satchel on her shoulder: "Is this your friend?"

"Yes."

Ethan nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Let me open the door first."

Carly patted her head, quickly took out the key from her satchel, and opened the front glass door.

Noticing Rivera's narrowed eyes, Ethan hugged her and whispered:
"You think too much, this is just a friend."

Following Carly into the small building, there are large glass windows in front of the shops on the first floor.

Stepping on the terrazzo floor, you can see the floating dust floating in the sunlight.

Enter through the small door inside and go up the stairs to the second floor.

Ethan leaned on the balcony facing the street, watching Rivera happily looking around the house.

After receiving the cigarette from Carly, the two smoked together on the balcony.

Carly flicked off the ash and asked dully:

"Have you heard from him?"

"No."

Ethan shook his head, he knew who Carly was asking.

"Maybe, I mean it's possible. Only Jaber can contact him now." Ethan said after taking a puff of a cigarette:

"If you want to find him, it's better to ask Jaber."

"Forget it." Carly spit out a column of smoke:
"Let him live a good life."

"What about you?" Ethan looked at her with a smile: "If you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind."

Carly shrugged her shoulders: "I'm still Mrs. Hopewell. Although life is still terrible, it's still passable."

"Cough cough."

Ethan took a choke on his cigarette and quickly waved his hands to show that he was fine.

Unexpectedly, Gordon resisted everything, and if he could be accepted again, Carly would be happy.

He said earnestly, "Hood is gone, and so is the rabbit. It's time for you to move forward. Let go of the past."

"Being a housewife and living an ordinary life is not a bad thing."

Carly nodded silently. She has experienced so much and understands this truth.

The current peaceful life is not easy to come by, so naturally I cherish it all the more.

After crushing the cigarette butt, Carly raised her spirits:

"Are you planning to buy real estate? In fact, the location here is very valuable. As you know, the police station, school, and supermarket are all nearby."

"Um."

Ethan nodded and pointed inside:

"It depends on whether she likes it or not."

Hearing his words, Carly cast an envious look at Rivera.

Rivera happily ran over after shopping around.

The first floor is a shop, and the second floor has two rooms in addition to the large living room. All the furniture in it is complete, and the overall decoration is biased towards Nordic style.

The entire second floor looks very bright and gives a refreshing feeling.

On the third floor is a large terrace, and there are several large flower beds in the glass conservatory.

All of this is very in line with Rivera's aesthetics.

Ethan crushed out the cigarette butt and asked with a smile:

"How is it, do you like it?"

Rivera nodded quickly, judging from the expression on her face, she was very satisfied.

As long as you are satisfied, money earned is spent.

After chatting for a while, Carly also simply quoted the reserve price to him, the total price was 25, and the cash transaction could be [-] cheaper.

Faced with this condition, of course he chose cash.

In the next two days, under Carly's reminder, Ethan spent a sum of money to find a professional house inspector to check all the buildings.

After confirming that there is no problem, then find a lawyer to finalize the purchase contract.

After paying a large sum of cash, the house was officially settled in Ethan's name.

He signed a lease contract with Rivera, and signed a long-term contract with her in accordance with the property tax standard.

After a year, the rent is more than 3000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a free gift.

Rivera walks with wind these days, with this small building, she can fulfill her dream of opening a flower shop.

After finishing this matter, Ethan also breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, bringing her to Pennsylvania was an excuse.
