Alcatraz.

The debate over whether the prison will be closed continues. The city hall and the federal government insist on discussing its use. Li Zitao also called and said that he wanted to buy the island.

Of course, there is no problem with the city hall. Alcatraz is a useless burden for them. It will not only consume a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, but also bring a lot of negative impacts.

But the Federation does not want the Demon Island to be closed. The scumbags detained in it should die of old age on the island, and its existence also has an alternative deterrence.

Many times, whenever you hear that you will be sent to Demon Island, tough prisoners will immediately surrender, making it easier for them to solve the case. If this deterrent magic weapon is gone, it may not be a good thing for police and detectives everywhere.

But the City Hall also has its own considerations. Alcatraz Island needs no small financial support at all. In the past, there was a large amount of federal grants, which was not a problem for San Francisco.

However, the federal government has frequently reduced the amount of funding recently, allowing the city hall to bear more fiscal expenditures. What can they do?

The protests from San Francisco police and the high pressure from the federal government made the city hall feel more stressed, and Li Zitao was unable to receive a positive reply.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be a record of this matter. Demon Island will really be closed in the future. I believe someone will notify him.

However, a tragedy happened yesterday. Old Hurst swallowed his anger at the Hess Castle that was not long ago completed and his myocardial infarction was caused.

Since losing his own property, his health has been declining, and he has invested all the money he used to sell his shares in the construction of Hess Castle.

This made the castle, which should have been completed this year, complete the end of the year and a half ahead of schedule, and Old Hurst was also lucky to sleep in his castle.

If he had not taken advantage of the shares of the Hurst Group, he would not have invested so much money in the construction of the castle, and he would not have seen it complete in his lifetime. Is this considered fulfilling one of his wishes from the side?

"Forget it, I believe the Hurst family will not thank themselves for this." Looking at the Hurst building in the distance, Li Zitao decided to attend the memorial service.

Maybe no one would welcome him, but as the major shareholder of Hurst Group and the boss of its parent company, Los Angeles News Corporation, and a media junior, he would be there regardless of whether he was happy or not.

The memorial service is scheduled tomorrow, just the weekend. Li Zitao will attend with his wife and children, which represents his regret and importance to this.

"Brother, hug, hug..." A sweet voice came from outside the door. Aiden walked in with a silly smile on his face, holding Pearl, his eyes filled with doting.

"What did Mason say?"

"He is not back, he will be intern in the House of Commons during the holidays."

"Internship?" House of Commons, this is not very similar to the style of the British King.

"Assistant of the councillor, it means the queen." Aiden supported Pearl with both hands, lifted her up above her head and turned around.

"Yeah~" nodded to show that she understood. Looking at her daughter who was cheering and laughing, Li Zitao felt a little sad.

The relationship between the brother and sister is hundreds of times better than that of his father.

Now this girl wants to disappear and stick to her brother's arms for 24 a day. She doesn't even want Marie, let alone his unpopular father.

But he also had his own way. The little girl didn't listen to him, but Aiden didn't dare to ignore him. And she listened very much to her brother...

"Do you have something to do tomorrow?" Li Zitao had no time to tell them that he would attend the funeral tomorrow.

"No..." Aiden said casually.

"Where is Riley?"

"She's back home."

"There's a quarrel." Li Zitao heard that he was unnatural.

"Well... I'll take Pearl to swim." Aiden obviously didn't want to talk to him about this, and squeezed out a smile and walked towards the door.

"Change her into a swimsuit, thank you." Ask the servant to change Pearl into a mini-pants, Aiden in the pool took her and took her to adapt to the water temperature.

Pearl, 15 months old, started to swim, but was not afraid of water. Instead, he was very excited every time.

The movements of holding your breath and kicking your legs are very good. At her age, it is no longer easy.

"How serious is it? Do you want to break up?" Li Zitao asked with a chuckling smile after pouring out a glass of whiskey.

"Are you happy?" Aiden asked back, with a little anger in his words.

"Of course not, I'm caring about you." Li Zitao said it was true. He was not optimistic about the relationship between Aiden and Riley, but it was not yet at the point where they would gloat when they quarreled and broke up.

"...I don't know." Aiden's answer surprised him.

The hesitation and entanglement on his face made Li Zitao know that this time was different from the past. Something must have happened, which caused a crack in their relationship.

They had a fight before, but every time Aiden would say with certainty that 'I won't break up,' instead of questioning his decision as he is now.

"It is normal to quarrel during love. As a man, you should be generous."

"Why have you never quarreled with your mother?" Aiden looked at him in confusion.

In fact, he is now in conflict, and the family and the outside world are like two worlds.

The impact of patriarchal thought and the back of his father cooking in the kitchen always appear alternately in his mind.

Riley's occasional willfulness will also make him feel ashamed of being embarrassed in front of his friends. From when he starts, he cannot ignore the gaze of outsiders.

"We have different feelings." This topic has never been discussed before, but he knew that the twins were seeing it.

They are already 14 years old and are no longer children. They should understand and should not understand. They will see and remember them in their eyes, remember them in their hearts, and develop their own thoughts and understandings.

Aiden was confused about how he did it. In fact, it was created by the environment. In the era of equality between men and women, the standard for finding a girlfriend has changed from "virtuous, kind" to "female, living".

What else do you talk about face and what kind of temper you are trying to make? From his perspective, almost all women in this era are examples of virtuousness and virtue.

It is the so-called avant-garde thinking and a feminist fighter who can still manage everything in an orderly manner at home, taking into account family, children, life and career.

All they want is respect and due rights, no longer being abused, discriminated against and domestic violence, and what else can they be dissatisfied with?

Aiden's problem, as he said, was not just a simple marriage, and they could not understand it now.

As for whether it is good or bad, only the parties involved can decide, at least they get along well with each other.

What the outside world will think will not have any impact on him. To this day, Li Zitao has long been no longer concerned about the outside world's personal views on him.

And Mary would not care about these views, and no one would mention the so-called "rumor" in front of her.
