Capítulo 744: Chapter 241: Making the Most of What’s Left

Although the fear had already subsided, he was still tense and uneasy…

In the car, Frank had been trying hard to communicate with the men in black suits around him, hoping to get some information from them, like where he would be taken.

Although he couldn’t decide anything, at least it could make him feel a little better and less anxious.

Unfortunately, the men in black around him were like a group of deaf people. They not only ignored him but also did not communicate with each other.

He could only vaguely distinguish through the car window that the car was heading west toward Oakland.

Because just now he noticed the car moved from the East Bay’s highway and then entered the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

Although it was his first time seeing the bridge early in the morning, the empty road made him feel somewhat unfamiliar, but the lights on the bridge reflected the distant city skyline.

The familiar buildings helped him figure out roughly where he was. Well, it’s definitely heading to Oakland, Alameda County, or possibly San Francisco…

It can’t be any farther away; surely they wouldn’t really take him to the west.

After all, he’s not like those who only got a green card; he is a naturalized citizen. So he should have basic human rights wherever they take him.

Frank thought this in his heart but didn’t dare to say it out loud. He was afraid of angering these men in black suits.

Because just moments ago, the man sitting in the passenger seat, who looked fierce, turned his head and said to him,

“If you keep on babbling, I’ll throw you off the bridge, and I promise I’ll do it.”

Alright, this was clearly just a threat, considering he had human rights. But Frank still didn’t want to challenge these people’s authority.

After all, a wise man knows better than to fight with what’s in front of him. And he knew very well he might have some power, but certainly not much, and he should use it wisely.

This is how the car finally quieted down inside, and it drove steadily over the bridge when suddenly the ringing of the passenger seat man’s phone broke the silence inside the car, as well as the silence of the entire street.

After all, it was early in the morning, and there wasn’t a single car on the empty road.

The man in the passenger seat answered the phone, muttered a few words, and then hung up.

But Frank quickly realized that the phone call was about him. Because after the burly man hung up, he frequently looked at him through the rearview mirror in the car.

Yes, Frank was very sensitive at this moment. He needed to observe these details to overcome the negative emotions in his mind.

“Sir, may I know what happened?” Frank finally couldn’t hold back and asked again.

To his surprise, although the two men beside him still maintained an embarrassing silence, the man in the passenger seat actually responded to him.

“Indeed, something has happened, but I’m afraid it’s not good news for you. Are you sure you want to know?”

The man’s playful tone left Frank silent for a long time before he awkwardly said, “Of course, I want to know. After all, I’m already in this situation; how much worse can it get?”

The man in the passenger seat shook his head slightly and said, “I’ll share with you a hometown saying that my father always has on his lips, ‘When it rains, it pours.’

It means that bad things usually don’t happen alone but rather as a chain reaction, one after another. The luckier a person is, the more this is true. I plan to give this saying to you today.”

Alright, Frank could even hear a trace of sympathy in the man’s words.

Fortunately, this time he didn’t need to ask further. The man voluntarily said, “Your child just made a new request. If the Berkeley Branch can recover from you the benefits you’ve received over the years, he would agree to cancel some inappropriate conditions.

Actually, we all know this is meaningless. There’s hardly anything more to squeeze out of you. But this also means we need to re-evaluate your value. Really, your child in Huaxia seems to be full of resentment towards you.”

After this, the man continued before the silent Frank could recover, “What man hasn’t had a few absurd relationships in his youth? But it’s rare to see someone mess things up so badly as you have.”

After saying this, the man asked with a curious tone, “Actually, after researching your file, there’s a question I’ve always been puzzled about. Can you help me solve it?”

Frank took a deep breath and then nodded silently.

“When you immigrated to the United States, you brought about a million US Dollars in cash. At the time, this was a huge sum in both Huaxia and the United States!

This indicates you were fairly wealthy in Huaxia and should have been living well. Moreover, as far as I know, higher education fees in Huaxia have always been very low.

So what made you decide to immigrate to the United States, knowing you already had a child? Was it for the high tuition fees here?”

Upon hearing this question, Frank instantly became agitated, “No, it’s not my fault. At that time, I had just graduated high school and couldn’t make any decisions. It’s all my parents’ fault; they made that decision.”

After hearing this, the man in the passenger seat shrugged indifferently and said, “Alright, no need to be so indignant. If you feel dissatisfied with them, then there’s another piece of good news for you…

In light of your child’s request in Huaxia, since you no longer have any assets to execute and are untraceable, they, as your only direct relatives in the United States, can bear joint liability. The state public university system will initiate a lawsuit against them.
