Chapter 808: The Old Man Next Door
Eddie originally planned to leave the police station first and then look for opportunities to continue filming the love affair of the president's daughter.
This was big news and would help his career tremendously.
But he is not stupid.
It's still easy to choose between big news and life.
Bourne's threats are blatant, but what he reveals is very little.
This made Eddie think more.
Since that man is so mysterious, he must be from a special government department.
As a journalist, I have heard about some things about the CIA to some extent.
Eddie guessed that the man with the president's daughter was most likely a CIA agent.
The CIA does not have law enforcement powers in the country, but it has cooperative relationships with law enforcement agencies.
This must be the reason why the small town police station was able to arrest him.
However, seeing Bourne's harmless look, Eddie believed that he was also an agent.
After leaving the police station, after a fierce mental struggle, Eddie gave up the idea of continuing to follow and photograph the president's daughter.
Anyway, the president is here, so it’s a good idea to just go with the flow.
Back at the manor, Luke saw Hela eating.
"What are you going to eat at this late hour?"
Hila: “Hiss…ha…hiss…light…hiss…shredded beef…hiss…give me some juice.”
Luke walked up to Hela, and the maid had already served her a glass of juice.
The kid in white socks next to him was also sticking out his tongue and drinking water.
Luke: "You gave this to the White Sox, too?"
Hila: “It’s delicious…hiss…so delicious…hiss…I can’t stop eating it…”
Luke shook his head and went back to the room regardless of Hela's reaction.
"Some other time, try finding a chef who specializes in making non-spicy Sichuan cuisine."
Hela: "Okay, I'll definitely try it, it's so spicy..."
The next day, Luke watched the president's show at home.
The atmosphere was awkward.
The main thing is that Chad's 2.5-meter height looks very funny when standing next to Condrick.
They mainly filmed the president, and they couldn't even see his head.
It was found that only the president's head was left in the picture.
Therefore, the photographers present could only take full-body shots.
But the height difference between Chad and Condrick is still too big.
This makes the picture look very comical.
The President enthusiastically asked Chad some questions.
But Chad's answer was brief and powerful.
Condrick: "What do you think of America?"
Chad: “Whatever.”
Condrick: "Do you like America?"
Chad: “I don’t like it.”
Condrick: "Then why did you come to America?"
Chade: "An order from the superior."
Condrick: "Who is your superior?"
Chad: "Keep it secret."
Condrick: "How many of you are here? Are they inside?"
Chade: "I'm the only one there, and there's still construction going on inside."
In the end, the president's condolences ended in just 5 minutes.
I really can't continue the conversation.
But President Condrick is optimistic.
Luke was watching too.
As expected of the president, he has thick skin at least.
Condrick concluded optimistically that this was a good start for both sides to understand each other.
At least there is a channel for communication, which allows both parties to communicate.
Everyone could clearly see that Cha was getting impatient, but Condrick concluded otherwise.
The president also took his family to old John's house and had a meal of top-notch beef.
This level of shamelessness was so overwhelming that even Old John was helpless.
But Mrs. Condrick and Elsa are friends.
So, Old John had to entertain the whole family.
But he didn't give the president a good look either.
But the ladies did get along very well.
After dinner, Condrick and Old John complained bitterly.
Old John's expression wasn't so grim anymore.
"Since you want to be president, you must be mentally prepared for this."
And Condrick sighed and expressed his frustration about running for president.
"If I don't do this, my family will always be a family that cannot be put on the stage, and others will not look up to us."
This is very true.
This is also why many people are desperately trying to compete for the presidency.
Even though they know that the President of the United States is just a butler, they still try their best to sit in that position.
Old John handed Condrick a bottle of beer.
“The Democratic Party is not a good choice.”
Condrick took the beer, took a sip and said:
"I have no choice. To be president, you must have support from others."
Old John nodded and said nothing.
This is American politics.
The big capital interest groups are behind the scenes.
However, if we were to discuss American politics in detail, it would take three days and three nights to finish.
The two changed the subject and talked about other things.
The atmosphere was pretty good at the end, and Old John saw the Condrick family off.
After dinner, Evelyn and Old John said:
"Mrs. Condrick has long intended to bring Luke into contact with her daughter. Why don't you call Luke over?"
Old John shook his head.
"That boy has a very positive idea. If he was interested, the girl would have given birth to a lot of children. Why would she wait so long?"
Evelin curled her lips and said:
"That's not what I meant. What if both of them come to their senses?"
Old John sneered.
"That boy has come to his senses a long time ago. I think it's the girl who is stubborn and refuses to change."
Evelyn sighed.
"I think that girl is nice and sensible."
Old John: "Don't get involved. Have you forgotten how that kid taught us?"
Evelin nodded.
"Although I don't know how that boy became so mature, he has a pretty good eye for people."
Old John: "Lip is a really good guy. You should take care of Beth when you have time."
Evelin: “I see, she’s just gotten pregnant, she’s not that delicate.”
Old John sighed.
"These two are going crazy trying to have a child. I'm just worried that Beth might accidentally..."
Evelyn: "Don't worry, Lip loves Beth so much that he doesn't even let her do her work."
Condrick didn't stay in Paradise for long.
We returned to Washington early the next morning.
But Lena stayed.
Luke knew that Lena stayed for him.
What about helping the homeless and the Women and Children Protection Fund.
There are no homeless people in Paradise Town...
Just as Luke was about to find an excuse to leave Paradise Town, Lilith brought him a message.
"Boss, a superhero has appeared in Los Angeles, known as: the good neighbor of the San Fernando Valley."
"Wardfake? A good neighbor in the San Fernando Valley? Lao Wang next door?"
Lilith: "Unfortunately, it was Peter Parker, the nephew of Ben Parker and May Parker, who you arranged early on."
Luke: "Oh, that's fine...wait, Peter Parker?"
Lilith: "Yes, but according to the test, someone is investigating him and trying to contact him, maybe someone from the official department."
Luke: "Let's go and see who wants to contact Lao Wang Xia next door."
Lilith: "Boss, he calls himself Spider-Man."
Luke: "We are all good neighbors in San Fernando Valley, isn't it Lao Wang next door?"
Lilith: "Okay, boss, as long as you are happy..."
