Jack Li laughed bitterly “I will soon retire if this case really takes three to five years to find out the truth, then the person who finds out this case would not be me, then with such a headless unresolved case to retire, the little reputation I have fought for half of my life will be gone.”
Desmond laughed “I thought you were open-minded and did not care about this so-called false reputation.”
Jack Li spread his hands and said self-deprecatingly, “You see, I’ve been in the business for most of my life, what else do I have left but for these false names? If even this false name is gone, then only the meager pension, given to me by the federal government will be left.”
Desmond said seriously “Jack, be optimistic! It’s just a setback in your strongest field, I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter.”
He pointed his hands at himself and said “Look at me, for so many years I was always treated as the guest of honor everywhere, even if the opposite is a ninety-year-old man, they will take the initiative to stand up and give me the best seat.

But if you hold on to this thing, to your 70s and 80s, still thinking about that, think that the year did not find the person you will feel bad, if you can not get over this hurdle, then you will not be happy, for the rest of your life, do you think this is the truth?”
Jack Li smiled helplessly, “In the matter of persuading people, you are really good.”
He picked up the glass and said to Desmond “Come, come, drink, drink this glass!”
