By the afternoon, the news that Old Donald had moved away had spread throughout the community, but it was not a big deal and everyone just knew about it.
Only Feilong sighed with Owen in the yard. Old Donald was probably the first neighbor he met after coming to this community. They often walked around each other, but he didn't expect that the other neighbor moved away without saying a word.
In the afternoon, Owen went out and went to Costco to buy a set of swings. He planned to build a playground in his backyard for his future children.
Old Donald just moved out in the morning, and in the afternoon a car from the decoration company drove over. A guy who looked like a design supervisor took the drawings and directed the workers to do this.
It seems that the buyer of this house is quite efficient. They just left in the morning and started to renovate it in the afternoon.
The workers moved all the furniture and things from the tool room out of the house, piled them on the lawn, and then started banging them. Old Donald’s house was actually pretty good, and it had been maintained very frequently, so it didn’t look that big.
Problem, but the buyer obviously doesn’t think so. Many places have been remodeled and repaired. In just half a day, the appearance of the house has already undergone some changes.
Owen looked at it for a while and then stopped paying attention. He rummaged through his luggage and found a bottle of vodka.
When he returned from Russia this time, Ulyanov gave him a few bottles of good vodka. It happened that he was going to Feilong's house for dinner tonight. Owen had a very good impression of this family, so he gave him a bottle of good vodka as a gift.
I don't feel bad either.
It happened that the phone rang at this time. Irving picked it up and saw that it was Benjamin Affleck. This guy was originally an assistant to FBI Womack in Los Angeles. His father is the current Secretary of State. Irving indirectly saved the phone during the crisis in the White House.
His father's life, at that time, his family specially invited Owen to attend the family dinner to express their gratitude.
Generally speaking, this person is a good person with a high emotional intelligence. Irving has a good impression of him, and the two are also considered friends personally. In order to arrest Avril Lavigne in Los Angeles, the FBI and CTU cooperated. Benjamin was responsible for the FBI, and the other party fully cooperated.
, there is no intention of competing for credit at all.
Later, Irving went to Washington, and Benjamin was transferred to Washington not long after. The two have never lost contact, but they have not been in contact for a long time since Omega was disbanded.
And it is said that Jack Bauer was able to join the FBI because of his contribution.
Owen was a little confused as to what this guy was calling me for, but he still answered the phone.
"Hey man, do you know how famous you are now?"
Owen showed a speechless expression, "Man, did you call me just to ridicule me?"
"Hahaha~~"
The two chatted for a long time, and Benjamin finally explained his purpose.
"Owen, I'm here to ask for your help."
"Your father is the Secretary of State, you still need my help?"
Irving also made a joke, and Benjamin on the other end of the phone said: "Actually, it's the election season soon, isn't it? My father is preparing to stand up and run for the next president..."
"Congratulations, maybe you will be the president's son in a few months..."
Irving was a little confused. What did it have to do with him that the Secretary of State was running for president? Did Benjamin hope that he would stand up and publicly express his support for Benjamin's father? That would be an overestimation of his influence...
"Actually, it's like this..."
Benjamin talked vaguely for a long time, and Owen finally understood what he meant.
In fact, the thing is very simple. David Palmer was assassinated when he was running for the election. This was both a crisis and a turning point. After being assassinated, David Palmer reached an agreement with relevant forces, and those competitors directly withdrew from the election, which made his
There is no resistance to being elected.
This is undoubtedly a shortcut. Now, Benjamin's father also wants to take this road, but it is impossible for him to arrange for someone to assassinate him, so he thought of David Palmer's dirty information.
Among the candidates this time, the current president David Palmer is undoubtedly the most favorable competitor. The incumbent has a great chance of being re-elected. If Benjamin's father wants to be successfully elected as president, he must find a way to unseat the current president.
So he set his sights on Irving.
Irving was once a close confidant of David Palmer, and the job he held ensured that he would definitely have dirt on the president. No one is completely clean, and safe and clean people never leave politics.
As long as Irving is pulled into his camp, or even if Irving does not take sides, as long as he reveals some ambiguous things, it can affect David Palmer's popularity. You know, the American people are very concerned about the dark history of public figures.
Especially during an election.
Unfortunately, Owen is destined to be unable to meet this requirement.
Although it was not stated explicitly at the time, keeping silent was a tacit understanding between the two parties. If Irving dared to target David Palmer, then he and his former teammates would definitely become wanted criminals immediately. This was a red line that no one could touch.
"Sorry, Benjamin, I can't help you with this..."
Irving clearly refused, and they didn't try again. This result was expected by the other party. Irving knew that he was definitely not the other party's only choice. They would definitely contact Jack Bauer or others. As for
It's none of his business what others choose, as long as the news doesn't come from his side...
In the afternoon, the mysterious buyer who bought Old Donald's house still didn't show up. Owen went there to have a look and found that the buyer was very particular and was almost ready to renovate the entire house.
All the windows have been replaced with glass with better sound insulation performance, and the walls have been re-insulated and warmed. The amount of work is not small at all, and the cost is definitely not cheap.
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Owen thought of what Justin said in the morning about those senior classmates who might take revenge on them. Revenge is actually okay, after all, they are all from the same school, and no one dares to go too far, but Justin said that those junior classmates might take revenge on them.
Gangsters often hang out with gang members outside, and maybe he will bring in gang members to cause trouble for Martin and him.
There was nothing to do anyway, so Owen decided to go to the school to take a look. After all, he was the one who scared those gangsters away last night, which could be regarded as indirectly causing them hatred. It would be bad if the new neighbor's children were retaliated for this.
As for those so-called gang members, Owen never took them seriously. He had a hundred ways to deal with them. Among other things, just asking his former colleagues in the police station to greet them well was enough for them.
If he really dared to get involved in the school, Owen wouldn't mind giving him a long memory.
Which school is it from? Hmm... Owen tried his best to recall, it seems to be Scar Park High School.
