A classic-styled villa in Chicago’s wealthy district.
Sean sat on the sofa with his eyes closed.
The recent cleansing of the Xiao family was coming to an end.
Sean had been traveling around these days. Although he was a little tired, he had stabilized his position as the first in line to the family.
His grandfather, who was over 90 years old, had been in poor health.
Young Sean learned from his grandfather’s personal official that the old man had recently been drafting a will.
The old man knew about the internal purge of the family and tacitly approved of Sean’s actions.
It couldn’t be helped. If a large family wanted to continue to prosper, it would need a more brutal internal struggle.
It was the iron principle that the capable would prevail.
Sean was not able to find out the details of the old man’s will, but one thing was certain, the next head of the family would be him.
However, Sean was afraid that the old man would hold back and create a limit for himself.
For example, he would hand over the family’s branch business to other competitors.
This was the practice of many big families. They were trying to prevent the heirs of the head of the family from losing their minds and pushing the entire family to the brink of destruction.
The Xiao family’s branch businesses were spread all over the United States. Their annual net profit was not much less than the family’s original business.
One of them was a vast network of connections on the dark web.
The old man had built this network in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it was now an unspeakable scale.
If he wanted to, the president would know immediately what kind of condoms he was using the night before.
This was the industry that Sean was most interested in.
Before, when Sean was on the run, the dark web he used was just the tip of the iceberg. It was not that he did not want to use it, but he did not have that much power.
Sean only knew through the old butler that after the old man found out that Sean had successfully escaped from prison, he only revealed an intriguing smile. He did not say a word, nor did he express any intention to help Sean.
Just as Sean closed his eyes to rest, the phone suddenly rang.
Sean reluctantly picked up the phone. When he heard the familiar voice, he immediately sat up.
The phone call was from Andre, and Sean was very excited.
That was because Sean did not know Andre’s phone number at all. He even secretly used the dark web to search, but the results were always untraceable.
This made Andre even more mysterious in Sean’s heart.
This was what a god should be like.
After more than ten minutes, Sean put down the microphone and immediately called the butler to order him to do a few things as soon as possible.
Sean did not understand why the god Andre wanted him to find two things. One was the bracelet on the tombstone of Connor’s late wife.
Connor’s wife and daughter were buried together after they were killed by intruders.
Andre had studied the information about Connor’s wife and daughter’s torture and knew that Connor had buried his wife and daughter together. He deliberately divided the bracelet that his daughter liked to wear into two parts. One part was placed on the tombstone of his wife and daughter, the other part was always worn by Connor.
The bracelet left by his daughter was painful for Connor, but it was also a kind of psychological sustenance.
Andre’s idea was to let Sean take the other part of the bracelet and send it to prison through Sean’s connections. As for how Andre could get it, it was very simple. He could directly use the divine disguise; he could dress up as a prison guard and take the bracelet.
Sean was 100% sure to carry out Andre’s request. Deep in his heart, there was fear.
The elusive Andre could control Sean’s fate. If he was not careful, Sean knew that he would be doomed.
Another thing Andre asked Sean to do was to go to the University of Chicago to investigate the social relationships of a female college student named Kelly and the changes in her relationships before and after she was sent to prison.
This was not difficult for Sean at the moment.
However, Sean learned from Andre’s conversation that the female college student named Kelly was being held in Chicago Correctional Center for treason.
For the sake of insurance, Sean did not arrange for a butler to do it for a person like this, whether or not he was wronged. Instead, he secretly used his dark web connections to check.
Andre finished assigning tasks to Sean and looked at the time.
There was still half an hour before the prisoners in Cell Block A had to go to the prison’s processing plant to do hard labor.
Today’s hard labor was to go to the laundry room to wash the clothes of the prisoners and the prison guards.
Prisoners in every cell block of Chicago Correctional Center were required to do hard labor. However, only a few felons or prisoners who were about to be injected to death were not required to do hard labor.
Andre’s previous plan was to use the divine disguise to go through seven checkpoints to find Connor in Cell Block C because seven checkpoints would take too long.
He was re-selecting a route that would shorten the time.
For example, in the place of hard labor.
Andre carefully calculated that there were only three checkpoints from the room of the hard labor to the room of the hard labor in Cell Block C.
This saved a lot of time, leaving Andre enough time to convince Connor.
Moreover, there were three checkpoints from Connor’s labor room to the female prisoner’s labor room.
In addition, there was divine concealment that lasted for 15 minutes. One time was enough to contact Connor and Kelly.
There was no need to split it into two times. That would take too much time. It would take four days to complete.
Since Cell Block A had the most prisoners, it was divided into four batches for hard labor.
Half an hour later, Andre followed the other prisoners into the hard labor room.
He ironed the prison guard’s uniform and used the divine eavesdropping in the system to eavesdrop on Sean’s room.
Andre was satisfied with Sean’s efficiency.
Through the divine eavesdropping, he discovered that Sean had gotten the bracelet Connor had placed in front of his wife and daughter’s tombstone.
It was just that it was slower to investigate Kelly’s relationships.
Through the eavesdropping, Andre knew that Sean had roughly figured out Kelly’s relationships in advance. There were still a few areas that needed to be checked.
He knew that Kelly’s relationships were somewhat complicated, but there were still some surprises.
A female college student could have such complicated relationships. This girl was not simple.
Andre was very interested in Kelly’s past experience.
While working, he was monitoring Sean’s office.
At this time, Sean received a phone call. He seemed to be shocked by the sound.
Andre slowed down his work and listened carefully. He had a hunch that the information Sean had just heard was related to Kelly. It seemed to be too troubling, or else Sean would not have lost his composure like this.
A moment later, Sean’s anxious voice rang in Andre’s mind.
“What did you say? The girl imprisoned in Chicago is not Kelly!”
