The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

At the very least, Charlie would certainly not have been as meticulous and thorough as Janus had been if he had been placed in the exact same situation.

At this time, Janus had a childlike expression on his face as he smiled and said, "At that time, I was covered with injuries as I was sent to the hospital, but who would have thought that I would secretly run out of the hospital and elope with my first girlfriend just half an hour later?"

As Janus spoke, he added, "I was originally planning to have us take a plane to Southeast Asia and then look for an opportunity to smuggle ourselves from Southeast Asia to the United States.

However, little would I have expected that when Mr. Long returned to the villa, he did not see my first girlfriend there, and he found out that she had taken her passport away with her. So, he issued the pursuit order immediately after that, offering a reward of thirty million Hong Kong dollars for my life..."

"At that time, the both of us had just arrived at the airport, but before we got out of the cab, I saw a lot of thugs looking around outside the airport. I could tell that things were not right, and I could only give up on my original plan."

"I initially planned to look for an opportunity to smuggle ourselves out of Hong Kong, but the reward of thirty million Hong Kong dollars was the biggest catch of the year in Hong Kong. At that time, several major gangs in Hong Kong were fighting, but they temporarily shook hands and made peace in order to earn this money. They sent all of their men out to look for both of us, and some gangs from Macau even came over to try their luck when they heard the news. They were staying by all the gates and piers in Hong Kong, and by that time, I was already desperate and so, I called your father for help..."

"Later, Master Curtis flew over from Eastcliff and met up with Mr. Long. He made a lot of sacrifices and concessions, in exchange for Mr. Long's promise to let us go. I was very grateful for this and I also promised that I would go over to Eastcliff to look for him after I settle some matters and my family down in Hong Kong..."

Having said this, Janus sighed and said," But I never would have thought that Master Curtis would later die at a young age... After his death, Mr. Long went back on his words immediately. When I went to pay my respects to Master Curtis, Mr. Long offered thirty million Hong Kong dollars for my life. I had no choice but to escape..."

At this time, Charlie could not help but ask, "Uncle Janus, what about your first girlfriend?"

Janus smiled in a self-deprecating manner as he said, "She came to the United States with me. As we had a little cash on hand when we arrived in New York, we opened a small restaurant, and the income that we earned was not bad. However, it was really hard work to wake up early every morning and go back late at night. She could not adapt to it even after a long time. So, one night after I came back from a part-time job, I found out that she had already taken her passport and left without even saying goodbye."

Charlie did not expect that the end of the story would end in this manner, and he was rendered speechless and surprised.

He had originally thought that since Uncle Janus had given up everything, he would eventually be able to reap a good harvest and end up becoming a happy couple with his first girlfriend.

He would never have dreamt that Janus would end up with such a miserable ending.

When Janus saw Charlie's amazement, he smiled slightly, shrugged, and said, "I can understand why she did what she did.

After all, when she was in Hong

Kong, she was living in a luxury villa on Steerlain Island that was worth tens of millions of dollars, yet upon coming to the United States, she was living in a basement that was less than five square meters An average person really would not be able to accept that kind of dark and difficult life."

Charlie nodded and asked, "So, she went back to Hong Kong?"

Janus laughed and said, "I think she must have returned. I took the risk of calling some of my friends in Hong Kong to ask about it, but no one knew of her whereabouts at all."

"I was told that she might have

taken her own life, and they asked me to check the missing persons information at the police station. However did not believe it because if she were to really take her own life,

could

she couldn't have taken her passport away with her. Since we are illegal immigrants and the only use for her to take her passport along with her would be for her to actively expose her identity and then get deported back to Hong Kong, I knew that she must have gone back to

Hong Kong."

"This state of uncertainty about her whereabouts lasted for about six months or so until Mr. Long's original spouse died of a n illness. After that, my first girlfriend suddenly appeared in the public eye as Mr. Long's official girlfriend."

"Not long after that, the both of them

got married. The wedding was very grand, and all of the famous tycoons and celebrities in Hong Kong attended their wedding. I got

someone from Hong Kong to bunet

some newspapers and magazines that reported on her wedding, and there were a lot of photos of the wedding scene. I was relieved when I saw that she looked really happy in the photos. Since then, I have been able to run this small restaurant at ease until now..."
