Chapter 65: Irene's Other Identity

Lynch quickly intervened, careful with his words: "Mayor, Miss Irene is a very low-key person. She doesn't want too much attention on her live broadcast room. Keeping it moderate is fine." The mayor nodded, "Yes, you're right. Let's just visit the live broadcast room and not do anything else." At that moment, the governor called. "Jero, you should be well aware of Decker's situation. This Irene has a lot of potential. We should focus on supporting her." Mayor Jero was sweating nervously and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I understand." The governor said sternly, "You should also look into Miss Irene's background. She's doing this for her grandmother, and her grandmother's situation is very complex, possibly involving many parties' interests. We need to handle this carefully. If managed well, it could benefit both of us. But when dealing with talent, we must be fair and just, maintaining a positive cycle." After hanging up, Jero wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Is this Irene really that influential?" Lynch smiled, "You don't know, the seventh young master of the Norman family was saved by Miss Irene." Jero suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!" The governor's cousin had married a distant relative of the Norman family. Although the relationship was distant, it still provided some security for the governor's future. However, Jero frowned slightly. Lynch continued with a smile, "Even though Miss Irene didn't ask for any reward afterward, we can't rule out the possibility of her having greater ambitions. However, the governor has observed for several months and concluded that in Miss Irene's eyes, a victim is just a victim, regardless of their status." Jero nodded thoughtfully, "According to what you say, Miss Irene is quite an exceptional person." "Being a good person isn't enough," Lynch said mysteriously. "Miss Irene is also highly capable. She's excellent at deduction, winning first place in the first A City Detective Deduction Competition, and she's skilled in combat. She can quickly identify issues among her live broadcast audience." Jero was taken aback, "How old is she?" Lynch sighed, "Yes, she might just be a genius." Meanwhile, at the Norman family's sanatorium. Although Robertson was still relatively robust for his age, his personal doctor recommended he take time each year for exercise and maintenance. Sitting in a rocking chair in the Sensory Garden, Robertson looked at his assistant, Barton, frowning, "That family still refuses to tell us anything?" Assistant Barton bowed slightly, also frowning, "Yes, I suspect someone is guiding them. They initially agreed to meet and talk but suddenly refused and broke the appointment." Robertson took a deep breath, suppressing his rising anger, "She must still be alive. Find out what game this seller couple is playing, and investigate the people behind them as well!" Assistant Barton hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, there is another way to find the young miss." Robertson turned to him, asking in a deep voice, "What way?" Robertson knew this must not be a conventional method; otherwise, Barton would have suggested it earlier. "The dark web." Robertson's eyes flickered, and after a pause, he sighed, "They are hard to find. Do you have any leads?" Barton glanced around; the sanatorium garden was unusually quiet and empty. He lowered his voice, "They started operating again two months ago, supposedly on the founder's orders." A glint of hope appeared in Robertson's eyes, "Very well. Handle this matter. You must find my granddaughter!" Elsewhere. Irene was on the phone with Pullman Anderson, the chairman of Torch Goddess Construction Company, who said, "Boss, that's the situation. Should we help or not?" Irene raised an eyebrow. She chuckled lightly, "I was recently warned not to do business with the Norman family." Pullman paused, understanding immediately. He laughed, "Looks like the Norman family needs to clean house." Watching Emma running in the yard, Irene said casually, "You're in charge of the dark web now. Handle it as you see fit." Pullman replied, "No way, boss. You founded it in the first place. We follow your lead." Irene watched as Emma smiled brightly at her in the yard. "Even K is with you. How could we not follow your lead?" Irene laughed softly, "Do you miss K? You can take her and let her have some fun." Pullman refused immediately, "No, she'll play with us instead of us with her. She's fine with you." He changed the subject, "Did you start a live broadcast? Even though you didn't show your face, your voice... Percy heard it and decided to support you." Irene frowned slightly, "Tell him to keep a low profile." Pullman laughed, "It's too late. You know his personality. He's already started giving interviews." After hanging up, Irene turned on the TV. Sure enough, the interviews had begun. Percy, publicly known as the vice president and sales director of a military-industrial enterprise, was receiving significant attention in A City. As soon as he got off the plane, reporters surrounded him. Percy's secretary stood in front of him, shouting, "Please make way! We will hold a press conference tomorrow! All questions will be answered then!" A reporter squeezed to the front, "Mr. Percy, we heard you are here for an investment. Are you planning to end your first public appearance like this?" The secretary replied coldly, "If you think it's acceptable to write only what I just said in the newspaper, then do so. It has nothing to do with us." Percy was about to get into his car when a reporter asked, "Mr. Percy, is your cooperation partner the Baker family? What kind of cooperation are you planning with them?" "Move aside! Step back!" Bodyguards pushed the reporters back. Just as the reporters thought their efforts were in vain, Percy patted one of the bodyguards on the shoulder, "I'll say a few words." "I heard someone mention a cooperation partner. Indeed, we have a potential partner in A City, very young, very capable, and with a bright future!" The reporters' eyes lit up again, microphones thrust under Percy's chin, "Is it the Baker family?" "Do you have a good relationship with the Baker family?" "Is this selection of a partner purely professional or is there an additional connection?"
