"Almost, but the ending was a little unexpected." Jacob looked at the large plate of beef served by the
waiter. He felt like a swordsman living in ancient times, drinking wine and eating meat.
"Yes. The thing you asked me to investigate last time has been completed, so I just did a little trick.
Now it's time for him to suffer." The man whose nickname was "Omnipotent" got a glass of wine for
himself. It was not enough to live such a comfortable life.
"So how is he now?" Jacob squinted his eyes and looked around. He didn't know whether it was safe
or not here. So he couldn't ask the question directly.
"He's exhausted. I have tampered with his purchasing channel. If he can handle it well, he might get
through it. But if he can't handle it well, his company's crisis won't be better than yours now."
Omnipotent picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. He had been used to the delicacies, but
the food in these small restaurants was more delicious. Having been used to those precious things, he
still thought ordinary beef was good enough. He already had the life that he had dreamed of, and it was
so comfortable now.
It was gratifying that the life he liked was still his. No one had changed him.
"How should I thank you?" Jacob put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and hands with a tissue.
He reached out to take the check with him. He just wanted the other party to fill in a satisfied number
randomly. Finally, he let out his anger. It was more important than anything else.
As for Thompson, Jacob would never forgive him. It was unforgivable that he dared to attempt at Sara
over and over again.
Therefore, no matter what kind of method Jacob used, he would definitely destroy him.
"Stop. I didn't help you for money." Omnipotent frowned slightly. He seemed to have known what Jacob
wanted to do, which made him angry.
"Then what do you want? I have something to ask you to do." Embarrassed, Jacob put his hand on the
table, and gently put down the check that he had already held in his hand.
"I like to make friends. I don't need any reward to help my friends." Omnipotent smiled. No wonder
Jacob was the nephew of James.
"Then, let's make a friend." Jacob stretched out his hand and looked serious. He felt as if there was
certain kind of respect in his heart, and everything was inconceivable.
Omnipotent smiled. It seemed that Jacob was an interesting man. "Okay. Have some meat."
Jacob didn't have any appetite at first, but he hadn't eaten well these days. He could have a good drink
with Omnipotent.
"You just said that you still have someone to investigate. Who is it?" Omnipotent took a sip of wine, and
the spicy taste filled his whole stomach. Then he felt warm all over his body. The spring of this city was
finally coming, wasn't it?
"My first girlfriend has been studying in the United States for four years. I want to investigate about
everything she has done in the past four years. The more detailed the better. Is that okay?" Jacob
raised his glass. The choking smell of wine filled his mouth, but he swallowed it in one gulp.
Only those who drank knew the strong smell of alcohol, and only those who encountered difficulties
knew that life was not easy.
"No problem. But it will take some time." Omnipotent raised his glass and clinked glasses with Jacob.
"Really? That's abroad. I know nothing about her for so many years. But now I find that it's my
ignorance that has hurt many people."
Jacob smiled. There were many people had been hurt, including himself. 'Why was the wine so bitter?'
But it was impossible for him to stop. Jacob knew that. In the past, he just didn't dare to face it. The
feeling of liking Alice was just like that he couldn't forget his young and arrogant self at that time.
At that time, he was the pride of life, but in the eyes of everyone, he was nothing.
Now, he was the pride in everyone's eyes. He could decide many things with a single move, but in his
own eyes, he had nothing.
Everything he had was either about to lose or had already lost.
It turned out that the price of becoming the pride of others was to lose himself.
"No problem. In fact, Chinese people's circle of life abroad is not as big as that in our country. We can
know a lot of things about those people if we inquire about it." Omnipotent smiled. At this time, Jacob
gave him the feeling that he was a good friend.
"Well, cheers. To celebrate that I have a friend like you." Jacob didn't know how to express his
gratitude. Maybe those words were like the blasphemy of their friendly relationship.
"Do you have any plan in the future?" Omnipotent suddenly asked with a solemn expression. As far as
he knew, Jacob was not in a good situation now. The crisis of his company seemed to have been
solved, but in fact, it was just the beginning.
Jacob also knew that this was not the end of a question, but the beginning. If it could explode now, it
could explode at any time in the future.
The accident happened in an instant. But it might happen every year.
If the root cause hadn't been solved, then people's hearts would be uneasy. If people were uneasy,
then the company's operation would be empty talk. And everyone would be panic.
Jacob hadn't thought about the future yet. In the past, he would always make a plan for the future.
When would he get married, when would he divorce, and when would he become the richest man in
the city.
There was no doubt that he had done them all. But he was not happy. The reason why he was
unhappy was that even though he realized his plan, he didn't want to finally become a person like this.
He felt that he had never been in a good mood for the past four years. He was like a machine sending
messages every day. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact, he had no soul. Life was empty, but he did
not find it.
And there are some things in life that were out of control. For example, accidents, illness and aging. In
his plan, there had never been such bad things, but they still happened.
So his plan was useless. If he failed, he would be unhappy and vent his anger on others. In the past,
he had vented his anger on Sara, but now no one was willing to bear it with him except himself.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see." Jacob took a gulp of the wine, and his face twisted into a ball. Wine
was a good thing. It could make people warm instantly and forget troubles.
However, Jacob was not drunk. Only losers would get drunk. He just tasted the wine. A great man only
taste the wine and never get drunk.
Those who only knew how to paralyze their nerves with alcohol in order to escape from pain would
never be able to escape from pain in essence. Because they knew how painful every moment they
were awake.
"Don't you plan anymore?" Omnipotent was a little surprised. Many successful businessmen
succeeded because they had a well-organized plan. If they didn't care about anything, they wouldn't
see a good result step by step.
"If fate is in my hands, and it won't change if I go step by step. If fate is not in my hands. Even if I plan
thousands of times, it will be useless. So it's useless anyway. Don't worry."
Jacob looked at the beef in front of him. For the first time, he felt that the beef tasted so delicious. This
changed his opinion of private food.
The big hermit was hidden in the city, while the small hermit was hidden in the wild. Jacob squinted his
eyes. No matter what kind of noise and beasts there would be in the future, he would not shrink back.
Since he had chosen, he would definitely insist.
While eating, they chatted with each other like friends. However, Jacob had his own thoughts. He didn't
say anything that he shouldn't say.
Due to the specialty of Omnipotent's occupation, Jacob had to hold back. If he ruined himself because
of such a thing in the future, it would be too unworthy.
