Chapter 874: Alice's Story
After coming out of Xia Yu's house, the hypocritical smile on Leng Feng's face immediately disappeared and became cold.
He came to the Xia family today for two purposes, one was to find out about Long Qing's news, and the other was to test the Xia family's reaction to Xia Yu's marriage.
The first thing is that Leng Feng knew it by looking at the expressions of the three people. As for the second thing, Leng Feng knocked on the side, the Xia family had no intention of finding a replacement for Xia Yu for the time being, so Leng Feng stopped in moderation.
"Immediately arrange for me to find Long Qing's whereabouts at all costs, if you find a corpse, bring it back, if you find a living person, turn him into a corpse and bring him back for me, understand?" Leng Feng said coldly.
"Yes, young master!"
Leng Feng looked coldly into the distance, and whispered to himself: "Long Qing, you can go with confidence, I will help you inherit everything you have, including, your woman!"
The yacht is sailing on the vast Pacific Ocean, Long Qing meditates and practices every day, and his body is gradually recovering, but there is still a long time before he recovers to his peak.
Due to Long Qing's great exploits in repelling pirates, he was placed in a separate small room, a treatment that only Alice and William had on the yacht besides Long Qing.
Alice came to Long Qing's room more and more often, and whether there was anything or not, she would come to Long Qing's room to chat with him. William's jealous eyes were on fire, but there was nothing he could do but to endure it secretly, telling himself: "Just wait until I return to my manor!"
As the cruise ship gradually moved closer to the equator, it became hotter and the people on board put on light clothes. Long Qing also walked out of the cabin and came to the deck, blowing the gentle sea breeze and watching the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
After a while, Alice also walked out and came to Long Qing's side.
Alice was dressed in a snow-white silk gauze dress, with golden hair scattered and snow-white feet untouched, as if an angel had descended on earth.
"What are you looking at?" asked Alice.
Long Qing smiled and said, "Look at the sunset, and think about the past by the way!"
Alice said curiously, "Have you recovered your memory?"
Long Qing shook his head: "No, but I remembered some fragments, and I don't know if it was my own imagination or my real experience." ”
Alice comforted: "Don't worry Mike, I'm sure you'll be able to remember!"
Long Qing nodded.
The two watched the sunset side by side for a while, and Alice suddenly sighed.
Long Qing asked, "Do you have anything to worry about?"
Alice turned her head and said, "You know Mike, in two months, I'm going to get married!"
"Marry William?" asked Long Qing.
Alice nodded.
"You don't like him?"
Alice nodded again.
Long Qing asked, "Since you don't like him, why do you want to marry him, it's not like the Alice I know!"
Alice whispered: "Some things are involuntary, our family has received great help from the William family, and I must marry him as a thank-you." ”
Long Qing said: "Can you tell me more about what happened?"
As Alice narrated, Long Qing slowly understood the ins and outs.
Alice's surname is Geffelin, an ancient aristocrat in a small country in Western Europe, and the Geffelin family has a history of more than 700 years. In the past 700 years, although there have been many disasters, the ethnic group has continued to this day.
After World War II, the Geffelin family has been engaged in antique auctions, and has established several well-known auction companies. Some time ago, the Geffelin family received a large order, and a mysterious consignor entrusted them to help auction several precious artifacts.
But Alice's father, Quinn Gefeline, was almost stunned when he saw those things. Among these objects are authentic works by famous Renaissance painters, as well as works by famous sculptors and the crown of a certain king. Quinn estimated the price, and all the items combined were worth more than a billion dollars.
Quinn was immediately excited, if he took over this business, he would not only earn a very considerable commission, but also make his auction company famous in one fell swoop and become a world-famous auction company.
After discussing the details with his employer, Quinn excitedly took over the deal.
However, the day before the auction, an accident happened, and a group of unknown gang members broke into the auction company and intercepted all the valuable things in the company, including the billion-dollar batch of precious antiques.
Frightened and angry, Quinn immediately called the police, but the police searched and found no valuable clues. At this time, the employer got the news and came to him and demanded that Quinn compensate him for the damages, which amounted to 1.1 billion dollars.
Although the Geffelin family also has some money, it is completely impossible to come up with $1.1 billion in cash at once. In order to compensate his employer, Quinn sold all of the Geffelin family's property at a low price, for a total of $900 million, and there was still a gap of $200 million.
At this time, the West family, which has always been good friends with the Geffelin family, that is, William's family, came up and expressed their willingness to lend the Geffelin family $300 million to help them tide over the difficulties, and the only condition was for Quinn to marry his daughter Alice to William.
Quinn loves her daughter very much, but she doesn't want the Geffelin family to be destroyed in her own hands, so she is very embarrassed, and Alice takes the initiative to agree to marry William after knowing the family's difficult situation. The two parties have agreed on the wedding date, and just over two months later, the West family has paid a deposit of $100 million to Quinn.
"I don't like William, but, for the sake of my family, I have to marry him!" Alice whispered.
Long Qing said: "There are many ways to save the family, and you may not have to sacrifice yourself. ”
Alice whispered, "That's what I thought at first, I wanted to find out the identity of the robbers, but I failed. I've thought about borrowing $200 million, but those people have dirty hearts......"
Long Qing comforted: "Don't worry, when you get to the place, I will help you!"
Alice looked up in some surprise: "Mike, will you really help me?"
Long Qing smiled and nodded: "Of course, you are my savior." ”
Alice suddenly said happily: "With you helping me, I believe that our family will be able to get through the difficulties." Mike, you're my hero. ”
Long Qing smiled bitterly.
Alice pointed to the red sea illuminated by the setting sun and said, "Mike, do you know, the day I saw you, the sea was like this, I was making a wish to God, can you send a hero to save me, and then you appeared!"
