A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

Li Qi was not surprised at all.

If Nick could pull off so many legal identities, how could ICE not have that kind of channel?

Don't say things like ICE doesn't have the authority or isn't responsible for these things.

They're all foxes from the same mountain, so who's not sly?

Human nature is inherently evil and selfish. Who wouldn't want to get some benefits and make their life better if they had power?

In the past, when I read magazines like "Reader" and "Yilin," I often saw articles praising the integrity and honesty of civil servants in capitalist countries...

Shit!

That's because Westerners don't have such cunning and scheming minds, they don't have that kind of historical background, and they don't have the ability to manipulate power for personal gain.

But things are different now. With the widespread availability of mobile internet and handheld devices, short videos can teach you everything, and even a fool can gradually learn it.

If Lola insists that this is impossible, then Richie will not think that the American bureaucracy is too honest and upright, but rather that Lola, this little girl, is too weak and has not truly entered the mainstream of society.

But when Lola said "add more money," Richie readily agreed.

The times are tough, and with Trump acting so aggressively now, the risks are skyrocketing, so more money is definitely needed.

"How much will it cost?"

"One head, 250,000."

Li Qi glanced at Lola; the girl looked natural and didn't seem to have any intention of raising the price.

"No discount?"

"I didn't make any profit! You're blackmailing me with this video, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten into this mess!" Lola rolled her eyes, looking completely unwilling.

Li Qi nodded helplessly: "Alright! Knowing the prices makes things easier. If you don't have money, go make some. If you can't make any, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent, not for society being too dark, right?"

Sensing the veiled meaning in his words, Lola said dismissively, "Of course, you can also have a skill and immigrate as a skilled worker; it's not impossible, and it's easier than that."

Li Qi thought of Sophia's four-star gardener.

Four-star! I feel incredibly powerful now that I have a three-star weapon to use. What does four-star skill mean?

That must be at the master level, right?

Once Sophia recovers, we'll let her show off her skills.

"Alright, I won't keep you from getting down to business. Go and pay your visit!" Li Qi patted the outside of the driver's door and gave Lola a friendly reminder: "Remember to treat your PTSD as soon as possible. Don't end up like me, getting injured on duty, becoming addicted to drugs, going bankrupt, ending up homeless, and almost dying."

"You've even been on duty?" Lola was completely bewildered, unable to believe her ears. "Besides, which eye of yours could have seen that I have PTSD?"

Li Qi didn't argue with her, and said, "There's a young man in Nick's house. He's been inside for half a day. If I'm not mistaken, he's her lover. Be careful when you go over there."

Oh, poor Tom—no, poor Nick.

So loyal, so devoted to her family, so hardworking, yet she had no idea she was being cuckolded...

Lola looked on incredulously, pointed to Nick's house in the distance, and was speechless.

Nick was a family man, and she knew him best. If it weren't for his family and three children, he probably wouldn't have risked everything to cause such a huge disaster.

After working together for over a year, their relationship wasn't particularly close, but Lola still understood Nick.

Nick Grant was a very capable and tough man. Before this incident, he was the epitome of a good man in Lola's eyes—capable, family-oriented, and practically the ideal man.

Unexpectedly, Nick's body was barely cold when his beloved wife, Adele, was still having sex with her lover...

Adele is amazing; I don't know when, but she has already knitted such a big green hat for her husband.

Laura hated Nick so much that she didn't regret killing him herself, but upon hearing this news, she still felt deeply sorry for Nick.

Lola glanced at the gaunt, unassuming man in the car, whose real name she didn't know, took the bag from Li Qi, looked at it briefly, then stuffed it into her jacket pocket and walked away without looking back.

Once on the sidewalk, Lola waved to her Mitsubishi Pajero, which was approaching from a distance, signaling Kent to get out and join her.

The two met in the courtyard passageway and came to the door. Lola raised her hand and rang the doorbell.

After a long while, someone inside answered, and then the door opened, revealing a pretty face that still retained its charm and was slightly flushed.

"Lola?" Adele was clearly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Didn't Nick say you had a mission and had to go on a business trip? What happened...?"

Seeing the young man next to Lola, Adele had a bad feeling.

"My colleague, Kent Adele, may I come in and talk to her?"

Seeing the woman's unusual expression, Lola might have chosen to understand and back down if it were anyone else, but since it was Nick's family, she had no intention of showing them any leniency.

"Well... alright! Please come in." Adele hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let her through the doorway.

Lola stepped into the house and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Watching Lola, wearing a sundress, go upstairs to find a shawl and then return, she was certain that the skinny bastard had told the truth.

Adele did indeed have an extramarital affair.

Looking at this stunningly beautiful and alluring woman, Lola thought to herself, "To be over forty and still maintain such good looks... Nick's relentless efforts to make money have certainly paid off..."

A surge of vengeful pleasure welled up inside Lola, who found it hard to accept the darkness within her heart. She shook her head and whispered, "Adele, I have bad news. During our mission, we encountered armed resistance from the enemy. Nick... he... died in the line of duty."

Adele had just poured water for the two of them and was about to place the glass on the coffee table in front of Lola when she suddenly lost her grip and the glass fell onto the glass coffee table with a sharp, jarring clang.

"Thump, thump, thump," footsteps sounded, and a young man rushed down from upstairs. "Honey, what happened...?"

Upon hearing the devastating news, Adele was struck dumb. She was still immersed in grief and confusion when she heard the news. Her face flushed red, and she rushed to the stairwell with an embarrassed expression. She pointed fiercely upstairs with a ferocious expression. Although she did not say a word, her eyes were full of regret and anger.

The young man was so frightened that he almost sat down on the stairs, and scrambled back upstairs.

Witnessing all this, Lola felt a sense of satisfaction, and her last trace of moral unease vanished completely.

God is fair; this is the best punishment for Nick's evil deeds!

Nick has committed numerous evil deeds, and Adele has cheated on him with her husband; she deserves this scene!

Adele took several deep breaths before sitting down on the sofa in the living room, her eyes red and choked with sobs, "Where...where is his body now?"

Laura feigned sadness: "The forensic examination is complete, and we can visit and retrieve the body at any time..."

Adele's tears, which she had been holding back, finally flowed, and she sobbed as if she had lost something precious.

Laura couldn't quite empathize with her feelings at that moment. If she loved deeply, why would she betray him? If she didn't love him deeply, why was she so sad?

"Please accept my condolences!" Lola stood up and sat down next to Adele, giving her a perfunctory hug, glancing at Kent and gesturing for him to leave.

Kent didn't understand. He glanced in the direction she was turning her head, but found nothing. Like a block of wood, he turned his head back to look.

Laura was speechless and could only order, "Go outside for a walk! I have something to say to Adele."

"Oh...oh! Okay, Commander Thorne!" Kent awkwardly touched his thigh, hurriedly got up, quickly left the room, and stood blankly on the porch.

I don't know what they're going to talk about, and they won't even let me listen...

Kent muttered to himself, hesitating whether to go closer to the door and eavesdrop.
