Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 701: Chapter 697: Save Those We Can

Old Master had already been staying at Roy Lewis’s house for four to five days.

During these four to five days, Alexander and his mother were trapped in the old house, unable to step outside no matter what method they tried.

On the outside, Aldo Lewis had been unable to contact Alexander for several days in a row, making him increasingly anxious.

He personally went to Alexander’s house but found no one there.

Thinking that Alexander and his mother had run away, Aldo asked the housekeeper, who told him.

“The Old Master said that Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Alexander should return to the old house for self-reflection…”

Aldo was surprised, “Self-reflection? How many days have they been there?”

The housekeeper did some calculations, “It’s the fifth day today!”

Aldo thought, why couldn’t he get through to Alexander by phone even though they were just in self-reflection?

“Why doesn’t he answer the phone?”

The housekeeper nodded, “That’s right, I haven’t been able to contact Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Alexander for several days.”

Aldo thought about it and decided to call Old Master.

“Dad, I heard that Alexander and my sister-in-law are staying at the old house, but I can’t get in touch with them.”

Old Master was very straightforward, “Of course you can’t, I cut off all their communication signals.”

Aldo felt this was incredible, “Dad, what are you doing? Alexander is not a child anymore, why are you still treating him like this?”

Old Master said, “Punishment is due for wrongdoing, what does it matter whether they’re an adult or a child?”

Not knowing that his plan to frame Alexander had been exposed, Aldo still tried to plead for him.

“Dad, I have something I need from Alexander. How about letting him out? It’s been four to five days already.”

Old Master chuckled, “When did you and your nephew become so close?”

Aldo was in a hurry to get Alexander to handle things, and with him locked up, what could Aldo do?

“Dad, our relationship has always been good, especially since my brother is still locked up. As his uncle, how can I not take good care of him?”

Old Master didn’t bother to point out his son’s thoughts anymore. Was he so foolish in Old Master’s eyes?!

“Fine, you can send your nephew your regards later. How long he stays in confinement depends on my mood. You can go and do what you have to do!”

With that, Old Master hung up the phone.

Although Roy Lewis had been very busy lately, he still cared about Old Master as always.

So when he learned that Aldo had called to plead for Alexander, he couldn’t help but ask Old Master.

“Grandpa, do you really think it’s useful to keep Alexander locked up?”

Old Master sighed, “Roy, I’m trying to save whoever I can. Although locking him up won’t change his character, at least I don’t want him to get involved in Aldo’s affairs…”

Old Master could sense from Roy’s recent words and actions that it was almost time to close the net.

By then, even if Aldo’s actions weren’t punishable by death, he would still face imprisonment.

Old Master knew that Aldo was beyond help.

Helping him would disrupt Roy’s plan and the big picture at stake.

At worst, it could cause Roy’s plan to fail.

Old Master certainly wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.

On the other hand, Aldo’s actions were purely personal, and as an adult, he should take responsibility for his actions.

“Grandpa, I hope your painstaking efforts will be understood by him. However, judging by his recent behavior, I think you should be mentally prepared for the worst…”

Old Master nodded and sighed again. “I know, this is the last time I protect him. From now on, I won’t interfere with whatever happens to him, nor will I get involved after you’ve taken care of the big issue. I won’t interfere with how you deal with him!”

Roy Lewis didn’t say anything, not because he felt sympathy for the beast Alexander; he simply pitied Old Master’s heartfelt efforts to protect his grandson.

In the past, Old Master seldom interfered in Roy’s affairs.

But this time, the matter was far-reaching and involved Roy’s life. Old Master couldn’t help but ask an extra question.

“How likely is it that this issue will be resolved?”

Roy knew that there was no hiding anything from Old Master, so he carefully chose the parts he could reveal.

“Completely resolving it is impossible. Optimistically, I can severely damage and destroy 70% of their transportation and sales network.”

Old Master patted his shoulder, “You’ve worked hard. In a few years, when your uncle retires, you won’t have to work so hard!”

Roy Lewis hummed in agreement and then asked Old Master.

“Grandpa, when did you start thinking about retirement?”

It seemed that among the Lewis descendants, few of those who held the reins of power were willing to stay in that position for long.

Without hesitation, Old Master replied, “From the moment I took over the Lewis Group, I’ve been constantly thinking about retirement.”

Roy laughed, “You’re even more incredible than I am, Grandpa. These past few months, I’ve been so idle that I’ve started thinking about retirement from time to time.”

Old Master laughed as well, “That means you’re living a very happy life now. Essentially, people are greedy for comfort! The more comfortable and relaxed your current life is, the more you want to preserve it forever.”

“And the more unwilling you’ll become to take risks because any risky behavior has the potential to break this comfort and relaxation!”
