Hearing what I had said, Irvin suddenly felt discouraged. He let go of my hand and turned his head, looking a little disappointed, saying, "That's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what else?" I asked. It suddenly came to me that Irvin did not have to come to me personally. If he wanted to send more people for the search, he could have given me a phone call. He risked his life and was almost brought to the basement by the bodyguards for interrogation, thinking that he was an assassin. He must have other requests.
I seemed to know what he wanted, but I was not sure.
After a while, Irvin looked at me with his tortured, frail gaze. He opened his dried lips and said, "I know Hendrix is also negotiating with GW Group.”
A week later, Roberts Group issued a notice. Their subsidiary company in Denmiles had formed a partnership with an intermediary agency there. Through a swap trading method, they obtained eighteen percent more of Eisen Company's shares. So far, Roberts Group owned more than fifty percent of Eisen Company's shares, which meant they had successfully acquired it.
Numerous investors had filed a complaint to the government of Denmiles that Hendrix was deliberately controlling the stocks. They insisted on receiving compensation for their loss in hedge funding. While the government was dismissing the counter- charge, Hendrix's plane landed in Jarold City.
One hour later, Hendrix arrived home.
"Congratulations, Mr. Roberts, for returning with victory." I spread my arms wide and gave him a hug.
Hendrix did not hold back. He hugged me for quite a while in front of Anne before releasing me.
