The call lasted for more than 20 minutes, but Owen got the good news that the reward for Beth's death had expired, and theoretically her life was no longer in danger.
"Thanks."
Irving handed the phone back to Kiel.
Kil nodded, and then said: "Director Owen, if it is convenient, please come back with us. We need to verify the details of this tunnel explosion with you..."
"No, Agent Kiel, Owen is very weak now and needs to be admitted to the hospital for rest immediately. I have arranged the best hospital for him and must leave immediately. Owen and I were in the same car at the time, and I told you clearly about the situation in the tunnel.
There is no need for you to ask again and delay Owen’s treatment..."
Before Owen could speak, Beth beside him had already refused for him without hesitation. They had been rescued first, so Tu must have already questioned them.
Keir looked at Owen with some embarrassment. Beth was a rich man and he couldn't easily offend her.
Moreover, Beth is Owen's friend, and Owen's identity as the head of the LATU Operations Office is nothing to him. After all, this is New York, and the LATU has no control over him, but Owen is still a popular person in front of Jack Bauer, so this is
It’s hard to say.
Beth waved her hand, and several medical staff who had been waiting nearby rushed over and began to examine Owen.
Owen hurriedly said to Beth: "No need to check, the people from the ambulance have already checked."
But Beth insisted: "No, these are medical staff from Mayo Medical Center, they are more professional..."
Owen couldn't resist Beth and had to let them do what they did. At the same time, he said to Keir: "Sorry, otherwise, I will go to the hospital first as my friend said. If there is no problem, I will go to TU today to cooperate with you to complete the inquiry.
…”
"All right."
Irving has already shown his cooperation, and they cannot force him to follow them now. Anyway, the tunnel surveillance shows that the explosion does not seem to be a terrorist attack, it is just an accident, and it doesn't matter if it is later.
Kiel left with his people, and Owen was carried into another ambulance that came with Beth. It had the words "Mayo Medical Center New York Branch" written on it.
Mike Chen thought that nothing was wrong with him, and just as he was about to leave, the medical staff put him on a stretcher and put him into the ambulance.
"I don't need an ambulance, I'm fine, I don't need an ambulance..."
Mike Chen refused to cooperate. The cost of an ambulance in the United States was very high. He didn't have that much money to pay for it. His money had to be used to realize his dream.
Seeing Mike Chen struggling, Beth walked over and held him down. She said in a ruthless voice, "You don't have to worry about the expenses. I'll pay for them all."
Mayo Medical Center, no matter how ignorant Mike Chen is, he has heard of this. It is the number one clinic in the United States. Even the President of the United States has surgery here when he is sick.
The two were taken to the Mayo branch for various examinations. Beth was very willing to spend money. He arranged for the two of them, including himself, Mayo's top-level health examination customized for national leaders or large companies EO.
The process is really eye-opening. Sure enough, the lives of rich people are different.
This examination involves 19 subjects and 5 items. A gentle and beautiful girl provides one-on-one service throughout the process, leading Owen through various departments.
This place is different from public hospitals in the United States. There are no appointments and all medical treatment is one-stop, which is indescribably fast.
The final conclusion was that Owen was as strong as a cow and did not need any training at all, and the same was true for Mike Chen. The two of them soaked in the cold river water for a whole night, and apart from keeping warm, they required almost no other treatment.
Beth couldn't do it. She was a woman with average physical fitness. She was frightened after struggling all night. The doctor recommended that she be hospitalized for observation.
Owen had to go on a tour, and before leaving, he briefly discussed the issue of hunting her down with Beth.
Beth was relieved to know that she was safe, but she still wrote down the name "Continental Hotel". According to Beth's character, it would probably end up with the same fate as the Dog Head Club.
TU's information is quite reliable. Beth is not in danger for the time being, so Owen does not need to play the role of bodyguard all the time. However, in order to reassure Beth, Owen asked Mike Chen to help take care of her during this period.
Mike Chen had just made some indirect inquiries and found out that the leader-level customized inspection he had just conducted was worth up to US$40,000, and he was feeling uneasy.
Owen gave him an encouraging look, and before leaving, he whispered in his ear: "Don't you want to open a chain of fighting gyms? Aren't you always looking for investment? The rich man is right in front of you, and I will give you the opportunity."
Created, it depends on whether you can convince her."
Irving said goodbye to the two of them and took a taxi to New York. On the way, he bought a mobile phone for temporary use. As soon as he turned it on, he received a call from Mike Chen.
It seems like I left there less than half an hour ago, right?
He answered the phone suspiciously, and Mike Chen's excited voice came from the phone: "Owen, I succeeded. Beth promised to invest in me. My chain of fighting gyms will be opened soon."
Owen shook his head, expressed congratulations and hung up the phone. He could still think of that scene in his mind.
Mike Chen was so anxious that he secretly prepared many kinds of excuses, but Beth didn't listen at all and asked him directly, "What are your wishes?"
Then Mike Chen was stunned and told him that he wanted to open a chain of fighting gyms. Beth waved her hand casually, "Okay, I will help you realize it."
Is one million dollars enough?
Not enough? What about two million?
At this time, in Mike Chen's eyes, Beth was a fairy, and the check she waved in her hand was a magic wand that could help people realize their dreams.
Irving couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. Mike Chen would definitely be frightened by the rich man's way of spending money.
When I came to Tu, I met Kiel, and Owen told him everything that happened in the tunnel in detail.
TU has basically come to a conclusion about this tunnel explosion. The situation shown in the intelligence and video does not look like a terrorist attack.
Owen's description just confirms this idea.
Now things are simple. The tunnel explosion did not involve a terrorist attack. Tu will just hand over the case to the state police.
"Dingling bell~~"
Just as Irving left Tu, his cell phone rang again, and after the call was connected, McClain's voice rang on the other end.
"Hey, man, why are you discharged from the hospital? I just went to Mayo to see you, but your Asian friend said that you have been discharged from the hospital..."
"John, I'm fine, I don't have any injuries on my body. If you don't call me, I'm going to call you. There are a lot of things over there. I'm going to take the evening flight back to Los Angeles..."
"no, no, no, no..."
McClain on the other end of the phone shook his head like a rattle, "Man, this is not okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you remember what I said that time, when you come to New York, I must treat you well..."
"But John, I'm very busy with work in Los Angeles, and my flights have been booked there..."
"Come on, don't come with me and be too busy. The world doesn't need you to save it alone. Leave tomorrow. Let's have a drink tonight. It's settled..."
McClain was so stupid that he left an address and hung up the phone. Irving didn't answer the call again.
Owen smiled bitterly, "Well, McClain is so insistent, it would be a bit uninteresting for him to leave."
Owen first informed his family that he was safe, and then called Tony to briefly explain the situation. Tony had no objection to him staying one more night. Tu was a human being too, and he also wanted to be worldly.
