If these secrets were to be inadvertently leaked, it would cause the Leipzig Group losses far exceeding those from the theft of the jewelry.

If the police find out first that Emery is the mastermind behind this case.

It's hard to say whether any unexpected events might occur during the process.

Josie's act of taking Lyndon Schneider to John Leibler to seek his forgiveness inadvertently did John Leibler a great favor.

This gave him enough time to first clean up the mess of these secrets.

"Hehe, Uncle John, you're too kind. You're Margot's elder, so naturally you're my elder too. We're family!" Josie replied very politely in response to John's thanks.

“Yes, yes, we’re family!” John Leibler was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then burst into laughter and patted Josie on the shoulder.

If Josie's generous purchase of war bonds yesterday only changed John Leibler's opinion of him, then now he truly acknowledges the young man before him.

It must be said that Margot didn't misjudge anyone this time.

“Father, I heard… what are you doing here?” Just then, John Leibler’s second son, David Leibler, burst in. When he saw Josie there, his face immediately fell.

"What kind of behavior is this, so impetuous? Don't you see I have guests here? You have no manners at all!" Seeing his son's behavior, John Leibler was immediately enraged and scolded him.

Compared to Josie, who was incredibly mature even in his teens, John's youngest son, who was in his thirties, was quite a handful.

Fortunately, John never expected his unreliable, womanizing youngest son to inherit the family business. His eldest son, who controlled the family business in several eastern states from New York, was the one he valued.

David was clearly used to his father's scolding. He just shrugged and didn't take it seriously, reluctantly greeting Josie.

Josie didn't mind, and immediately said goodbye to John Leibler before leaving the Leibler Group.

He had already spoken to Margot while he was at the Leipzig Group, so he wasn't in a hurry to go back.

Instead, they first bought some food and daily necessities to bring to Dix.

Lest this guy starve to death before he dies from his injuries.

However, on the way, Josie keenly noticed that the police who used to be everywhere on the streets, setting up checkpoints and conducting searches, had all disappeared, leaving only a normal number of patrol officers.

With Lyndon Schneider's surrender and the jewelry theft solved, the police naturally wanted to avoid further trouble.

"You look much better!" Upon arriving at the small apartment, Josie noticed that Dix's complexion was much better than before and couldn't help but say. Dix's injury was a penetrating bullet wound, and it shouldn't have damaged any internal organs. As long as the bleeding stopped and there was no infection, there was no need to see a doctor.

“Yes, the bleeding has stopped. Thank you very much, Mr. Kahn. I wonder what the situation is like outside now?” Dix thanked Josie first, and then asked.

“There’s good news and bad news!” Josie said. “The good news is that the police outside have all left, so you don’t have to worry about them continuing their search, and you don’t have to run away to Canada.”

“That’s certainly good news. So what’s the bad news?” Dix asked, nodding.

“Your companion, Cody, was shot dead during a shootout with the police,” Josie shrugged, relaying the information she had received from the police.

"What about Louis and Goss?" Dix sighed upon hearing that Cody was dead. Although he had expected it, he was still deeply saddened to hear the news of his friend's death.

However, he quickly composed himself and asked about his other two companions.

“I haven’t heard the police mention it, so I guess he hasn’t been arrested,” Josie said, shaking her head.

"Thank you!" Hearing Josie's words, Dix breathed a sigh of relief. This was another piece of good news for him to be thankful for.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow!" After leaving food and personal items, Josie left. Margot must be worried after all that time she'd wasted.

Sure enough, when Josie got home, Margot asked him about his trip to the Leipzig Group that day.

Josie didn't hide anything and recounted her encounter with Lyndon Schneider, how he was an old friend of her father's, and how she got him to turn himself in.

"All of this was orchestrated by Emery? It's unbelievable." Margot was also very surprised to hear that the jewelry theft was committed by someone she knew.

However, I was relieved to know that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

Josie also felt that this matter should end here.

However, even without any unexpected events, something unexpected is bound to happen.

The next morning, the newspapers published news that the jewelry case had been solved.

Aside from Lyndon Snyder's surrender, a few other details surprised Josie.

One was that Emery shot himself before the police arrived.

Another point is that around the same time Lyndon Schneider surrendered, the broker named Corby was dragged out by Officer Dietrich, who then implicated everyone, including Emery.

That same night, the police found Louis's home.

However, Louis had already died from his injuries, so the police only arrested one of his accomplices, Goss.

Now only Dix remains, and he is still wanted by the police.

Fortunately, this little accident won't have any impact on Josie.

Chapter 41 I'm good at this job!

In May, Lyndon Schneider, who had been in the detention center for more than a month, walked out of the steel gates of the detention center with his luggage. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Dix smoking by a car across the street.

"Welcome home, Doctor!" Upon seeing Lyndon Schneider emerge, Dix stubbed out his cigarette, tossed it aside, and went to greet him.

"Hey, Dix, how dare you show up here so openly? Aren't you wanted?" Lyndon Schneider asked in surprise.

On the night he went to the detention center more than a month ago, he personally witnessed another accomplice, Goss, and his broker, Koby, being taken into the detention center by the police. He also learned that Koby had betrayed everyone. Given that, Dix should also be wanted by the police. How dare he show up at the detention center gate so openly now? He's too bold!

"Hahaha, wanted? That was over half a month ago. My wanted notice was withdrawn." Dix took the briefcase from Lyndon Schneider and laughed smugly.

"What happened?" Lyndon Schneider asked, completely bewildered.

"It's actually very simple. Koby recanted his confession, and Goss took all the blame, so I'm fine." Dix said with a hint of sadness. Although he was out of trouble, his good friend Goss had to serve two more years in prison, which still bothered him.

"Is it Mr. Kahn?" Upon hearing Dix's words, Lyndon Schneider immediately understood that the only person with such power could be Josie, who had persuaded him to surrender.

In fact, he knew very well that he was able to get out so quickly because of Josh's help, and that he was also able to eat and drink well in the detention center.

He originally thought that he was being taken care of by Josh because he was a friend of Josh's father.

I only found out now that Dix also received special treatment.

If that's the case, there must be another reason why this son of my old friend is helping me so much.

“Of course, who else could it be but Mr. Kahn? He’s the one who sent me to pick you up today. Come on! Get in the car, I’ll take you to see your new home!” Dix patted Lyndon Schneider on the shoulder and pulled him into the car.

“A new home? What new home?” Lyndon Schneider asked, puzzled.

“Of course it’s a cozy apartment. You don’t want to sleep on the street, do you?” Dix joked.

"This was also prepared by Mr. Kahn, wasn't it?" Lyndon Schneider said. "So you're working for Mr. Kahn now?"

“Of course, it’s rare to see a boss as generous as Mr. Kahn. Look at this car, a Chrysler, what do you think? Mr. Kahn gave it to me!” Dix said proudly, patting the steering wheel.

“A very nice car.” Lyndon Schneider touched the leather seats and nodded.

This is a Chrysler Airflow. While it may not be considered a luxury car, it is definitely a good one.

"Don't be envious, you'll have it too!" Dix laughed heartily.

Dix drove very fast, and about half an hour later, he arrived at an apartment building in the North Side.

This place is only a few blocks away from the small apartment where Josie used to live, but the house is much more spacious, a large apartment of over 80 square meters, which is quite big for Lyndon Schneider, who lives alone.

“Here’s the key. You should rest for a bit. I’ll come pick you up later. To celebrate your trip, I’ve prepared a surprise for you: Night Rose. Ever heard of it? The girls there are incredibly hot!” Dix said.

“Dix, all of this was arranged by Mr. Kahn, right? Perhaps I should thank him in person!” Lyndon Schneider said. He felt uneasy about receiving something for nothing, having just been released from the detention center and now he had a house and a girl.

“Don’t worry, buddy. Just enjoy yourself today. You’ll see Mr. Kahn tomorrow,” Dix reassured him.

However, his words did not offer Lyndon Schneider much comfort.

Fortunately, Lyndon Schneider's unease did not last long.

As Dix said, the girls at Night Rose nightclub were hot enough to make Lyndon Schneider forget all his troubles.

When he woke up, it was almost noon the next day.

It was also at noon that he finally met Josie in a restaurant, led by Dix.

The restaurant wasn't very big, but it was very clean.

What was a little strange was that, even though it was supposed to be mealtime, there were no other customers in the restaurant besides Josh, and there was only one waitress.

“That’s Anna, Louis’s wife. After Louis died, they were left with only a widow and a child. So I used my share of the money to take over this restaurant and let Anna run it, so that the mother and child would have some security.” Dix saw Lyndon Schneider’s doubts and explained, “As for today, it’s because Mr. Kahn is coming, so we’re temporarily closed.”

Upon hearing Dix's explanation, Lyndon Schneider suddenly understood, but the shrewd man also realized that Dix's care for the mother and son was probably not ordinary.

But it has nothing to do with him...

"Mr. Schneider looks quite good. I heard from Dix ​​that he has four girls with him. Mr. Schneider is really still going strong for his age." In the restaurant, Josie greeted Lyndon Schneider with a smile as he entered.

Upon hearing Josie's teasing, Lyndon Schneider couldn't help but blush.

Although he was not young and, as a Bavarian, had a somewhat rigid personality, that did not stop him from enjoying life.

After serving so much time in jail, I was ready to pull off a big heist and enjoy myself after my release, but I unexpectedly fell out and ended up going back in for over a month. I was really going to be bored.

So I naturally let loose a bit last night.

“Mr. Kahn, you flatter me. I should thank you for your hospitality. I have so many favors to repay you, I don’t know how to repay them. If there is anything you would like me to do, please feel free to ask!” Lyndon Schneider said very respectfully.

If he initially regarded Josh as a junior when they first met, now he treats him as a truly important person.

“Very good, it seems Mr. Schneider understands why I’m doing all this. In that case, I won’t hide anything. Actually, what I need you to do isn’t difficult. I have a lot of sensitive materials that I want to sell, and I also need to purchase a lot of other materials. But you know the current situation in the United States, so I need someone shrewd enough to handle these things for me!” Josie said bluntly.

Lyndon Schneider understood immediately upon hearing this.
