"I'm looking for Frances Edwards Charlie Lee. " Li Zitao is calling the governor of California.

"I'm sorry, sir. May I have your name again?" There seems to be a bit of a mess over the phone, as if very busy.

Li Zitao repeated his words. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Frances' chief of staff answered the phone: "I'm sorry, Charlie. We're a little busy here."

"What's the problem?" Without waiting for the other side to open his mouth, Li Zitao first said: "don't take a reason to fool me, you know I'm not so easy to fool."

"Er..." The chief of staff hesitated. "Well, Frances is in trouble. Sex scandal."

"Scandal or fact?" Li Zitao should not give ambiguous answers, nor do they need such perfunctory response to the media.

"In fact, if I say that, do you have a solution?" The chief of staff is having a headache right now!

Because their governor, the core of the team, the cornerstone of all that exists, is in big trouble.

Without him, these people have to start all over again. It's not just a simple job.

You know, these people have been running with Frances Edwards several times, and the longest chief of staff has been there since his first run for governor.

He always stood by Frances as campaign manager and chief of staff.

If Frances was involved in a sex scandal, his entire team would be affected, and the chief of staff would not be as young and energetic as he had been.

Let him choose a new target and help inexperienced or unqualified people to participate in speeches and campaigns, which will make him collapse completely.

Therefore, he is the last one who wants Frances to have an accident. He is more concerned about his political future than his wife, mother and children.

Asking Charlie Lee for help was the chief of staff's first response to the call.

As a media tycoon, one of Frances' friends, he would be a good choice.

But the chief of staff didn't want to let him know everything because a relationship like Frances and Charlie Lee was always between friendship and hostility.

A small mistake may make this a reality.

"Yes." Li Zitao's answer is very positive, "but I need to know all the facts first."

"The fact is that he's in a nightclub I was caught by a reporter As the chief of staff said this, he hammered down the table.

What does Frances think? He should be a mature politician, but he has made such a naive move.

Even if he wants to steal, can't he find a safe place not to be found?

"Get in touch with my secretary's office and Hurst will help you with the publicity you need." Li Zitao hung up the phone and dialed a number again after pondering.

This time he called Clara, a senior senator, and the problem was solved quickly.

They can go home now, but in this case, they need to testify and suspect before.

"The police at the scene said you were stained with the victim's blood." On the way home, Mahdi, who was in a hurry, was asking about the story.

Eden said innocently, "I just went up to help. It was at that time."

When he saw someone fall down, he wanted to help the other side press the wound, until the police arrived and pointed a gun at them and told them to lie on the ground.

"Then we were taken away." Eden described the story in detail.

In fact, there was nothing to say. It was a party. They joined in temporarily to have a rest. Then gunfire rang out and a girl fell to the ground.

Aidan wanted to help before he stepped in. The police arrived and determined that he was the first suspect.

"So they judged you as a suspect on the spot without any evidence collection?" Mahdi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's what they said, and someone hit me in the car." There's new news.

"Who hit you? Are you hurt?" Mary looked at him worried.

"No, it's just a little pain. It's all right now." Aidan points to the abdomen and laughs.

"Let me see."

Mahdi said: "it won't leave a trace. They know how to avoid trouble. It's just to teach the suspect a lesson."

"That's right, mom. Nothing happened."

"Lift up the clothes, I need to see it with my own eyes," Mary insisted.

Helplessly lifted up her clothes, Eden's abdomen did not have any trace, swelling or bruise, Mary was relieved, but still angry.

Their safety is entrusted to such law enforcement officials. Even if they are just citizens, how can they be assured that such law enforcement agencies can protect their own safety.

"You should stop donating to public office until they change." Mary said impulsively.

Her own children are threatened and hurt, let her feel the same.

"You're joking, aren't you?" Li Zitao looked at her with a serious expression."Yes, I'm sure." Mary said solemnly.

Li Zitao did not speak any more. He said faintly, "let's go home and talk about it."

What Mary wanted to say, she finally held back, because she didn't want to quarrel with Li Zitao in the car, in front of the children.

Obviously, he does not agree with his decision, but as a husband and father, he should support himself and support his decision at this time.

"It's just some misunderstanding. Are you all right?" Seeing both men's faces serious and looking to one side, Eden asked, worried.

Then he thought it was funny. "It's nothing, mom and dad. You don't have to argue about it."

"No, we didn't fight." Mary explained with a smile.

Li Zitao agreed: "yes, we are good, we don't need to worry."

It's just that when they go home, things get weird.

The door was closed because the two returned to the room without any communication.

"What are you kidding about?" As soon as he entered the door, Li Zitao couldn't help lowering his voice and saying, "what does this matter have to do with the whole donation?"

"of course, they are your children, and they have been criticized and hurt without any reason." Mary pointed to the door and said, "shouldn't you get justice for them?"

"In this way?" "Mary, we are adults, living in real life, not in the movie or fairy tale world," Li said jokingly

"Am I asking too much?" Mary pointed to herself and said, "from a mother's point of view."

"No, not too much." "But you are not just a mother, you should consider the impact of doing so," Li continued

"I don't want to argue with you. I'll take care of it, but I can't stop donating." Li Zitao didn't want to go on because he knew it would only get worse.
