"Let me introduce you. This is my butler, Jarvis!”After getting into the car, Howard introduced them. Jarvis, who was driving, smiled at Peggy.
"I'll give you a suggestion. Next time you encounter such a situation, you can reveal your identity first.”Peggy said with a smile.
If Howard had not suddenly appeared, Paige might have made a move.
"Su Bai was right. You really came to find me. Is it because of your stolen equipment?" Paige said to Howard.
Howard, who was gloating, was shocked. "How did you know? Su Bai said so. You saw Su Bai?”
" Yes, he's in New York now." Peggy said.
"Hehe, then you didn't…?”Howard winked. "Although I don't know what happened, you've been thinking about him ever since Su Bai left.”
"Are you still in the mood to joke at a time like this? You are now wanted for treason!”Peggy snorted.
" Although I don't know how Su Bai found out," Edward said," but…yes, my things were stolen, so I came to find you." Only you can help me now, and I only trust you. You're in SSR, I hope you can help me clear my name.”
"Since it was stolen, why didn't you say anything?”
"Is it useful? They're more willing to believe that I'm a black-hearted merchant who deliberately sold the item…As far as I know, some of the items have already been lost overseas, and I have to find them myself. So, I'll leave this to you. Jarvis will assist you.”Howard said.
"Su Bai will help. He told me to tell you that you owe him a favor!”
"Also, Su Bai said that Steve and Baki might not be dead, so you don't have to continue searching.”
“……”
" Alright," Edward said after a moment of silence." Help me tell him that I owe him a favor."”
The car drove straight to the dock. A small speedboat was already prepared. After getting out of the car, Edward boarded the speedboat and said to Paige with a smile,""By the way, that kid Su Bai has the same personality as me. You have to hurry up or you'll regret it!”
Peggy glared at him speechlessly, but she thought of Dottie for some reason.
"Miss Peggy, what do I need to do?”
Jarvis asked after Howard left.
"Send me home." After saying that, Paige got into the car.
On the one hand, she helped Edward because he was a friend. Although Peggy also thought that he was a black-hearted businessman, treason? She did not believe it. On the other hand, Edward's designs were too dangerous. Any one of them could cause an incalculable disaster if they were left out in the open. Paige naturally would not sit idly by.
Of course, there was another important reason.
Paige had found her goal, her value, and her meaning.
Although she had promised to ask Dottie for help, Paige still decided to look for clues herself. Now that Howard was wanted, everyone was looking for the whereabouts of the equipment. She should be able to get information from SSR!
The next day, Peggy went to the telephone company as usual. She entered SSR and was about to go to her desk when she happened to see Daniel, who was sitting in front of her, looking at some documents. She glanced at them and saw a few photos. They were of Edward and a blonde girl playing on a speedboat.
"Didn't you go back to rest?" Peggy asked Daniel casually.
" Most of the fugitives were caught within the first 72 hours. If Howard really wanted to escape, perhaps we could start investigating from here.”Daniel said as he took a photo.
"He must really like this girl.”Peggy said.
"Hmm?"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have boarded the boat. I'm sorry, Daniel, but Howard is afraid of water. He can't swim at all.”Peggy said seriously.
"Really? How did you know?"
"I've known him for a long time." Peggy said with a smile.
Only then did Daniel remember Peggy's identity and did not doubt her words. Looking at the photo, Daniel could not help but feel a little depressed. It seemed that it would not work to catch Howard in this way.
At this moment, there seemed to be a discussion in the meeting room.
"Is there a situation?" Peggy asked casually.
" There are rumors that a fence wants to sell Howard's invention," Daniel said." It's a nightclub owner, Spade Raymond.”
"Where are you selling it?" Peggy asked casually.
"It's classified information." Daniel said apologetically.
Paige smiled and pretended not to care."I'll go make some coffee for them.”
She turned around and went to the pantry. After a while, Paige entered the meeting room with coffee.
By the time she came out, she had already taken a day off and…she wanted to know the information.
At the same time that Paige was investigating, Dottie had also received the same information. She believed that if Paige got the information, she wouldn't tell her, because she would do so. So early in the morning, Dottie went to the Hellfire Club to find Riptide and let him ask for information.
Although the Hellfire Club had just opened for business, Xiao had a way of doing things. He had already begun to take shape, so it was easy to get some information.
After Dottie received the news, she was ready to take action.
She wanted to get the equipment before Peggy!
The competition between the two women had already begun.
