Chapter 698: Chapter 697
At these words, Brian Dawson was stunned, looking at the person incredulously: “What did you say?”
Even Holly Sims was dumbfounded.
Luke Dawson frowned even more.
The person imdiately ran up to them and handed over a cell phone…
On its screen was a video of Professor Brandt just taken during his interview, especially the part where he ntioned Old Mr. Sims:
“Old Mr. Sims ca to and asked if I was willing to dedicate twenty years to our country. We set a grand sche, a sche that deceived everyone!… Now so say he’s a spy because he gave sponsorship, and I gave him money… Indeed, I did give the money because I wanted to move all the money I made abroad back to our country. Pretending it was to buy advanced dostic technologies, I funneled the money to him, deceiving everyone. Now, I have co back, to clear not only my own na but also Old Mr. Sims’!”
The words from this interview left everyone present stunned.
All mbers of the Special Division ca out of their offices one by one, gathering in the hallway, in front of Brian Dawson.
Brian Dawson was dumbstruck; he looked gazely towards the room where Old Mr. Sims was confined.
The rest of the Special Division also imdiately looked that way…
Holly Sims’ eyes were red with tears, and she felt so agitated that she wanted to scream out loud.
Grandpa is innocent… He is innocent!!
Holly Sims’ tears rolled down as she strode forward, rushing towards Old Mr. Sims’ room.
Originally, the Special Division had placed many guards along the way to prevent Old Mr. Sims from escaping, but at that mont, the guards did not stop Holly Sims.
All of them had tearful eyes, looking in disbelief towards where Old Mr. Sims was.
Brian Dawson’s lips trembled, and he slowly moved his feet, intending to walk towards Old Mr. Sims’ room when suddenly soone rushed in from outside: “Boss Dawson, important figures are accompanying Professor Brandt here!”
Brian Dawson was slightly startled before he hurriedly went out the door.
He saw soone who usually could only be seen on television, accompanying Professor Brandt, both getting out of the car.
Professor Brandt didn’t even wait for the bodyguards but rushed into the entrance of the Special Division. He grabbed Brian Dawson who had just co out, asking anxiously: “Where is Old Mr. Sims?”
Brian Dawson felt numb all over.
He imdiately turned his head towards the room where Old Mr. Sims was, trying to say sothing, but Professor Brandt had already quickened his pace there.
Everyone, including the mbers of the Special Division, followed and gathered in front of the room where Old Mr. Sims was confined.
At that mont, Holly Sims’ sobs could be heard from inside the room.
Professor Brandt stopped in his tracks, then straightened his clothes before pushing open the door.
Old Mr. Sims had been confined here recently, and the mbers of the Special Division had deliberately sealed the nearby windows to make his stay unpleasant.
So the room was pitch-dark. As the door opened, he was a little unused to the brightness and tremulously stretched out his hand to block the light.
Outside the door was a dazzling white light, leading to the path of illumination.
Old Mr. Sims paused for a mont, patted Holly, who was crying on his lap, and then spoke up: “Holly, help stand up quickly, we have distinguished guests!”
Holly Sims imdiately dried her tears and helped Old Mr. Sims up.
He staggered step by step towards the doorway and then saw Professor Brandt.
Professor Brandt was in his fifties this year, in the pri of his life, and a generation apart from the eighty-year-old Old Mr. Sims.
But at this mont, these two old friends, like lovers reunited after a long ti, had eyes full of intense longing for each other.
For a ti, no one at the scene spoke.
For so reason, everyone’s eyes reddened at that mont.
One endured disgrace abroad for the sake of technology for over twenty years.
The other, in the country, to collaborate with him, never explained himself even when misunderstood.
When Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton arrived, what they saw was such a shocking scene.
Looking at Professor Brandt and then at Old Mr. Sims, Keira couldn’t understand why, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Our lives are so blessed because there are people who carry burdens on our behalf.
I don’t know who sniffled, but at that mont, everyone couldn’t hold back their emotions, and they began to cry one by one.
“Old Mr. Sims, I, I am sorry to you!”
Accompanied by that sentence, soone stepped forward and bowed deeply, “When I brought you a parcel, I spat inside it, I’m so sorry to you!”
“Old Mr. Sims, I’m sorry too!”
