149. Back to House Manor

Turks proposed to bring a machine gun with him before going to House Manor, and Dali House was very shameless last time, and he won't give up this time.

Emperor Wu said with a smile, we are going to send them aged wine, and we are not deliberately looking for trouble. Stanley's election for mayor will certainly not embarrass us, and if he is not successful, he will warmly welcome him to show his tolerance and generosity.

The bird of prey drove into the gate of the manor, and the big fat man who led the crowd to beat Emperor Wu last time was smoking at the door.

"Hey, Ned, I remember you, it's not an honorable thing to fight more and less. Rolling down the window, Emperor Wu smiled.

The fat man Ned saw the people in the car clearly, in addition to the kid from last time, there was also a muscular hunk sitting in the co-pilot, and he felt that these two people were here to find fault.

"Actually, I don't want to have a conflict with you today, the ranch alone is enough to keep me busy for a day. Emperor Wu waved his hand at him, this guy was just a vain.

Ned shook his fat body and stepped forward, his expression was very unfriendly, "Then leave from here, I don't want to beat you all over the ground to find your teeth." ”

"Hey, be careful when you speak, I have taught people like you a lot in my years in the army. Turks shouted at him.

The atmosphere was tense, but Ned didn't dare to react, and he was going to call Dali and tell him what was going on here.

Ned whispered a few words into his phone, and then asked Emperor Wu, "Mr. Stanley is forgiving, and he sincerely asks why you are here. ”

Emperor Wu could imagine how Stanley smiled and smiled with anger. Emperor Wu determined that he was responsible for the last pasture transfer incident.

"We're going to find Mr. Belmondo and give him a gift. ”

Ned's expression visibly hesitated, and he muttered into the phone.

After half a minute, Ned beckoned to the doorman, and the door pushed open, revealing a broad avenue.

"Have a great time on the estate, South Australian cowboys. Ned straightened his hands and stepped aside.

It felt good, Emperor Wu looked up at the sky, the sun was still shining at five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were two eagles hovering in the sky.

"Boss, this is my first time inside the manor. Tex unbuckled his seat belt and shifted his left hand to the side with his left hand on his knee, revealing the Glock pistol.

Emperor Wu patted him on the shoulder, "Relax man, we're here as guests." ”

The scene reminded Turks of an infiltration in Baghdad, Iraq, where a foolproof plan was leaked, only to be shot at as soon as their car entered the target's gate.

The driver died on the spot, and he, who was also sitting in the co-pilot, immediately jumped on and drove the car to make a U-turn, without raising his head, relying on his memory to drive the car 500 meters.

The Raptor was led by a sightseeing car around to the east side of the manor villa, where there was a side door, although it was a side door, but it was no less gorgeous than the main entrance.

After parking the car, the two were taken upstairs, and Emperor Wu asked the people from the manor to help bring the barrel up.

The five men immediately pulled out their pistols.

"Wow, it's not funny at all, it's just a barrel of wine, a gift from a good friend of Mr. Belmondo, Clervinson or Hans. Emperor Wu said with a smile.

To be honest, it was a very sweaty thing to be pointed at by five pistols from different directions at the same time, and it was not sure which rookie would pull the trigger with a slippery hand.

"Sir, it's best not to play any tricks. One said warily.

Emperor Wu was helpless, the beautiful manor was actually full of grass and trees, and the security work was completely Hollywood level.

Going up through the side doors, through the corridors full of reliefs, they went up to the second floor, then the third floor.

There are a lot of rooms in the big villa, and it is clear that this floor is the room of a member of the House family, like a 5 star hotel.

During this period, a little boy's football rolled to the feet of Emperor Wu, and the little boy was used to seeing the world, so he generously asked if he could kick it for him.

"Absolutely. ”

Emperor Wu bent down to pick up the ball and kicked it to the little boy, and his footwork was not bad.

In the suite on the west side of the corridor, they met Mr. Belmondo.

Walking through the hall into the bedroom, an old man with gray hair sat in a wheelchair, next to a young girl taking care of him.

"Belmondo?" said Emperor Wu in a low voice.

His words were heard by the girl, who smiled and nodded.

Emperor Wu guessed what Belmondo looked like, but the result was unexpected.

He has white hair, pale blue eyes sunken inward, his face is full of wrinkles, and his hands holding a wheelchair are a little shaky, presumably suffering from Parkinson's disease.

The girl bowed her head and whispered in the old man's ear, "Here they are."

Belmondo looked up tremblingly, and saw two young men standing in front of him, and his originally dull gaze became intent.

His lips were open as if he wanted to speak, but his voice was muffled and no one could understand it except the girl.

"My grandfather said, 'You're welcome, South Australian cowboys, please go to the living room and wait, he'll be right there. ”

The girl's name is Stefana, Belmondo's granddaughter, and she now takes care of the elderly.

Emperor Wu nodded, and Tex walked out.

The first thing you see in the living room is a large row of bookshelves, which are filled with books of various categories.

Dressed in classical French attire and with portraits of King Charles X and Queen Theresa on the walls, the atmosphere is very much like going back to 18th-century Europe.

From the window here, you can see the place where Emperor Wu and Dali fought that night.

Emperor Wu once found that someone was standing here and looking, it was very likely that it was the old man Belmondo.

Not long after, Stefana also walked out of the bedroom, and she was the only one, saying that her grandfather was changing the clothes for the guests.

"Himself?" asked Tex in surprise.

Stefana seemed relieved that her grandfather had done the change alone, and she waited in the living room with Uditex, a short-haired girl who loved to laugh.

Emperor Wu had too many doubts about Belmondo, and he seemed to be different from the rest of the House family, at least in terms of aura.

Talking about her grandfather's pride, Stefana said that Belmondo is 103 years old, the elder brother of Stanley's father, and according to Chinese custom, he is the uncle of the House brothers.

After the death of the previous patriarch, Stanley's grandfather, Belmondo should be succeeded by the will of the family. But he was so focused on academics that he didn't want to do business, so he turned down the task.

Stanley's father, who was second in line, took over as the head of the family, but the good times were short-lived, and Stanley's father died suddenly in the night two years later, for reasons that have remained a mystery.

With the support of his younger brother DalΓ­, Stanley succeeded his father as the head of the family and led the development of the estate.

A few minutes later, a spirited Belmondo walked out, not in a wheelchair.

He wears a gorgeous dark blue coat, similar to the wide and comfortable tunic worn by the Pope.

He was bald, shrunken but still in good spirits, his blue eyes sparkling with wisdom, and he leaned back as much as he could to look tall.

Stefana hurriedly stepped forward to support her grandfather, and Emperor Wu and Tex were also infected by the old man's spirit, and they got up in unison.

The granddaughter became the medium of communication between them, otherwise Emperor Wu really couldn't understand the words of the old man Belmondo.

When she learned that the two young men had come to deliver wine, Belmondo looked very emotional and read Clervinson's name on her lips.

It turned out that when they were young, Clevenson and Belmondo had studied at the same school, and they both had good grades at that time, and they often discussed math problems together.

Both had aspirations to become mathematicians.

The two ranches also get along happily, often throwing parties, and at one point Hans and Stanley's aunt almost got together.

After the outbreak of World War II, the owners of House Manor and South Australian Ranch made diametrically opposed decisions.

Clervinson's father, Charlton, decided to drive his cattle to Melbourne to support the army, while Belmondo's family stayed with Signey to continue their quiet development.

The House family did not believe that the war would spread to Australia itself, that they were not obligated to send beef to the soldiers of Western capitalists, and that they did not want to make that money, and they loved the vast grasslands.

Decades later, the House family became the preeminent king of livestock farming on the outskirts of Siney, while the South Australian ranch was on the verge of bankruptcy before Emperor Wu took over.

Emperor Wu talked a lot with the old man Belmondo, and he always had a passion for the people who came from South Australia.

Clervinson is long gone, Belmondo is over a hundred years old, and the enthusiasm of the older generation has gradually faded, and now there is only life and death in the mall.

From the close brothers of Belmondo and Clervinson, to the coldness of Stanley's father and Hans, to the current "outsider" Emperor Wu and the Stanley brothers.

Emperor Wu, an outsider, was involved in the dispute between the two families of the century, and he thought it was all magical, like the plot of a movie.
