Chapter 63 Subpoena
After buying the car, Ethan still had 12 in cash.

This asset made him want to buy a house of his own.

No way, who made him feel that the current family has no place for him?
He can get robbed in his own orchard!After calling for help, no one cared about him!
This indifference really chilled him!

Well, no skin.

The reason why he really wanted to move out was because of the inappropriateness of life as mentioned earlier.

Before, when Evelyn lived at home, the corresponding discomfort might be reduced, but now, after Evelyn has moved out, Ethan really feels that his position at home is a bit awkward.

So, after returning home that night, he told Thomas and Linda of his thoughts, and both of them expressed their understanding and support. However, they also had a little selfishness when it came to choosing the location of their new home.

Thomas rubbed his hands together, and said sincerely——

"Ethan, if you really want to buy a house, I personally hope you can settle down in Palo Alto."

"Isn't the villa next to Evelyn listed for sale? Just buy that."

"In this way, we can also take care of each other."

"You know, in fact, I have always disapproved of her moving out, because it is indeed dangerous for a girl to live alone, especially since our place is very close to San Francisco and Oakland."

"And those two sides are really too messy."

"I don't know if you've read the news, but on the fifth of this month, there was another shooting in California, and it was caused by the Manson family?"

"If it was anything else, I might not be worried, but the Manson family..."

Thomas pursed his lips, worried.

And what he said, Ethan also heard a little bit.

The Manson family is an XJ organization active near San Francisco. They have been committing crimes since the late 60s. They once broke into the home of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate and took her, her unborn child and four of her friends. He was stabbed to death randomly, and one of them had more than 50 wounds on his body. He also broke into the home of California rich man Reno La Bianca and tortured him, her wife and daughter. When the police arrived at the scene At that time, the murderer provocatively inserted a knife into the victim's throat and stomach.

And these two cases are just the most famous ones, there are several lesser ones, such as the case of breaking into the home of a female music teacher at the University of California and committing crimes is even more appalling.

Because these people like to prey on young women, in those few years, women who lived alone really changed their colors.

Because their criminal methods were too cruel, this family was taken away by the California police and Fobole together in 70, but who knows, on the [-]th of this month, members of the Manson family showed up again , and this time...

They actually attacked Mi Daizong.

Although in this place in the United States, it is commonplace for a general to be assassinated, but even in general, when the assassination incident collides with the Manson family, all ordinary people are worried about their own safety.

After all, no one knows how many members of the Manson family have escaped the law!
And Ethan...

He didn't know whether the members of the Manson family would continue to commit crimes, but he knew that Mi Daizong was very miserable. If there were no accidents, he would have another accident this month, and the location was in San Francisco, California.

No way, who made him the first American commander in history to suffer two consecutive assassinations within a month?
It was precisely because he knew that the safety of this broken place in the United States was worrying, so Ethan agreed to the old man's request.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

To be honest, Ethan originally wanted to live closer to Evelyn, because it would be easier to find him in the future.

And his words also made Thomas and Linda thank him repeatedly.

After confirming the target again, the next day, Ethan wandered around the place where Evelyn lived now, copied down the numbers on the plugboards for sale, and called them directly after returning home.

Since both parties have the willingness to trade, it took only two days for the details to be finalized.

The 18-square-foot villa was bought by Ethan for $[-].

At first, Ethan wanted a loan, because he had more than two years of tax records, and he belonged to a group with excellent credit and income. Whether it was Bank of America, Wells Fargo or other banks, he could do it for him. A loan contract with a down payment of 5.00%.But when Ethan found out that the bank's loan interest rate had been raised to 8.5% due to stagflation, he immediately chose to borrow money from Thomas.

He Ethan is rich, but not sick!

8.5% loan interest rate, ghosts will borrow it!

The point is that their family is not short of money, right?Let Thomas help fill in the gap today. After waiting for two weeks at most, Ethan can return the dividends of "Snake Game" to him.

Since there is no financial pressure, it is impossible for Ethan to let the bank make money from him!
After solving these things, Ethan only felt relaxed.

After traveling for less than half a year, he already has a car and a house?
Hey!It's such a comfortable day!

For the next few days, Ethan spent shopping for furniture for his new home.

After he decorated his villa, the time also came to September [-]th.

The Western Electronics Fair was officially held in San Francisco.

As a shareholder of Chuck Paddle Company, Ethan naturally wanted to join in the fun at the scene.

However, when he came to the exhibition site, he discovered a problem, that is, he was a bit out of tune with the surroundings.

At this moment, he is dressed very casually, with a black T-shirt on top and jeans on the bottom. What he cares about is comfort, but what about the guys next to him?They were all wearing suits and ties. No matter how hot it was, they just took off their suit jackets to reveal their white shirts.

This fact made Ethan a little puzzled.

And when he asked Chuck Pai Duo why these people were dressed so seriously, the guy revealed the composition of the exhibition——

"Ethan, don't you know? This exhibition is organized by IEEE, which is a large-scale academic exchange platform. Most of the people who come here are members of IEEE, or do research on electrical and electronics. Since everyone is here Those who discuss technology and discuss academics should naturally dress more formally."

'Oh……'

'Is that so? '

After wandering around for a while, Ethan felt that it was meaningless.

Although Ethan could understand every word these people said, he couldn't understand it when combined.

For example, someone is introducing his own chips, and after the whole talk, Ethan only understands one called packaging semiconductor technology, and another example, the other is showing his equipment there. After listening, Ethan Sen only knew that their product was called a charge coupler.

As for the others?
Do not understand!

'Why do I feel like I'm here to seek guilt? '

After inquiring about Chuck Pai Duo, he learned that the introduction meeting of MOS 6502 will be held on the afternoon of the 18th. At that time, the organizer will give them a small podium and 15 minutes of preaching time, Ethan and Chuck Pai Duo said hello and said that he would come back in the afternoon on NO.18, and then...

He slipped away.

Because he didn't want to torture himself.

And when Ethan was wondering where he should go to have some fun before the official presentation of MOS 6502, when he got home, he found two young men in suits and leather shoes standing at the door of his villa.

"Hello, Sir, can I help you?" Ethan opened the car window and asked.

The two young men looked at each other, and then moved closer.

"Excuse me, are you Ethan Jones?" one of the men asked.

"Yeah~" Ethan nodded and said, "Who are you?"

An affirmative answer made them laugh.

Then, the man who asked Ethan's identity opened the briefcase, took out a business card from it, and showed it in front of Ethan, "Mr. Jones, we are lawyers from the California branch of Sidley Austin."

"At the entrustment of the employer, Mi Luohua, I am sending you a copy of the court's summons and complaint."

Having said that, he pulled out another file bag from his briefcase and showed it in front of Ethan.

The file bag was transparent, so Ethan could clearly see the words on it.

When the sign of the San Francisco, California courthouse appeared, Ethan's brows also frowned.

'I've been sued? '

'And the plaintiff is Mi Luohua? '

'Fuck!What the hell is this! '

Ethan was puzzled.

 Note: ①Sharon Tate is very famous. She has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and is the wife of Roman Polanski, who is the director of The Pianist. ②IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Western Electronics Exhibition is held by them. It is academic in nature, not in the nature of selling goods. ③The subpoenas in the United States are different from ours. We regard the service of subpoenas as a judicial act, while in the United States, it is regarded as a private act. Generally, the plaintiff’s lawyer is responsible for the service. Then, the methods of service are actually various. Previously, New York The Supreme Court in Manhattan allowed the plaintiff’s lawyer to use Facebook private messages to serve the subpoena. The defendant replied or the plaintiff’s lawyer sent private messages for three weeks in a row.
