The next day, Alex received a piece of news.
The case she was in charge of had been closed.
This gave her a fright. She had originally thought that Jason had been released.
But after asking around, she found out that there was a major breakthrough in the case.
Jason didn't just have the previous crimes. He was also charged with treason. Then, he committed suicide in the detention center.
The news scared Alex.
She immediately stopped her previous plan.
This Chen Zhao was too scary.
Jason was a rich man. He'd hired a powerful team of lawyers.
She'd tangled with Jason for more than half a year but still couldn't convict him.
In the end, in just one night, Jason died in prison.
Alex wasn't a kid. She didn't believe that Jason would commit suicide to escape punishment.
This was simply impossible.
If they wanted to defeat Chen Zhao by collecting his dark history, they would be digging their own graves.
Jason's three subordinates had been shot to death on the street because they'd offended Chen Zhao.
Even Jason hadn't been able to escape.
Alex didn't know how that person had done it either.
But she was sure that the person was very powerful.
And that person was Chen Zhao's subordinate.
It was obvious that West couldn't compare to Chen Zhao's power.
…
"President, you're not going to do anything?"
West realized that Chen Zhao had really left everything to them.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhao carried little Gerlyn and walked here and there every day.
It was like he'd thrown everything to the back of his mind.
"I have to take care of the child. What do you want me to do? What if my daughter is in danger? Are you responsible? "
West didn't say anything. If Chen Zhao's daughter was really in danger, he really couldn't bear the responsibility.
"How's the thing I asked you to investigate?"
"We found out that two of the cultist's accomplices were in Santa Maria Hospital, but they've disappeared. We also found out that their organization is called Satanism."
"It doesn't sound like anything good," Chen Zhao said. "Do you have any more clues?"
"Not yet."
"Then hurry up and investigate," Chen Zhao said.
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang.
"Mr. Chen, I'm John. Are you free now? Your adoption documents are ready, but you need to sign them. Oh, and you'd better bring your daughter here too."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Although Gerlyn was Chen Zhao's actual daughter, society was like this. Without these documents, Chen Zhao wasn't Gerlyn's legal father.
Of course, if something happened to the adoption certificate, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't use other methods to take the child back.
After all, Gerlyn was his daughter. As long as the law could recognize them as father and daughter, Chen Zhao didn't mind following the law.
But if the law couldn't uphold justice for him, he didn't feel the need to follow unreasonable laws.
Chen Zhao excitedly brought Gerlyn to the hospital.
There were a few people in Dr. John's office.
These people were from the Child Adoption Agency.
Chen Zhao communicated with them for a while.
They mainly asked about his personal information, such as his job, income, and family situation.
Chen Zhao's information on the surface was very beautiful.
Other than the fact that he was still single, the rest of the information was almost perfect.
Usually, adoption agencies preferred married people to adopt children.
Of course, Chen Zhao was Gerlyn's biological father, not an orphan.
Therefore, being single wasn't that important.
Moreover, Chen Zhao's income, job, and living environment were all important factors.
"Mr. Chen, have you and your girlfriend considered getting married?"
"Yes," Chen Zhao answered. "We'll consider getting married in the next two years."
Marriage wasn't just for one person. Plus, Chen Zhao wouldn't force Fali to get married just for Gerlyn.
That would be disrespectful to Fali. Chen Zhao hoped that he would fully consider Fali's thoughts and stance on marriage.
He didn't want to say, "Give me the child and I'll get married immediately."
"Then have you and your girlfriend considered having children?"
"Yes, that's also in our plan."
"What does your girlfriend do for a living?"
"She's a member of the Coast Rescue Team. She belongs to the LA Angel Coast Rescue Team. She's a very kind person. She saved 20 people last month."
These adoption agencies had a scoring scale. Generally speaking, if the child was above the passing line, they would be able to get custody.
Fali's work was also very good. Hearing Fali's answer, the few people nodded in satisfaction.
"Then do you or your girlfriend have any bad habits? For example, alcoholism. You should've already gotten my information. My girlfriend and I don't pursue pleasure from that kind of stuff. We're both very healthy. We don't have any bad habits, including marijuana. "
Marijuana was very common in America. For example, the former president, Obama Guanhai, had smoked it when he was young.
In fact, in the entire American society, more than 100 million people had smoked or tried it. At least 35 million people would try it a few times a month.
California had just legalized marijuana this year. There was a saying in America, "If you haven't tried marijuana, it's like you haven't gone to college."
Chen Zhao did not comment on this, but he had never liked such things.
He didn't flaunt his morals. After all, he wasn't a white sheep who'd just arrived in America.
Right now, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
However, in this kind of situation, one's own lifestyle was also a very big plus.
"Mr. Chen, I heard from the hospital that you jumped from the tenth floor to save your daughter when you saw her for the first time. Is that right?"
"As a father, I can't let my child die in front of me. I just did what a father should do."
To be honest, the people in the adoption agency had been working for a long time, but they had never seen an adopter with such a perfect record.
Chen Zhao had even used his actions to prove that he was a good father. At least, he would protect his daughter at all costs.
Even if Chen Zhao was Asian, they had no reason to reject his request.
"Please sign this document," a bespectacled woman said. "Then you can take your daughter back."
