(Thank you for the reward of Brother Bronze Stick, Brother Fanchen, and Brother Long, today is probably the third watch, save some manuscripts first, thank you again!) ）

Above the long table are beautifully illuminated, sparkling with blurry lights. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The table covered with white tablecloths was filled with all kinds of sumptuous delicacies, including Zhao Yan's favorite roast venison, which must have been specially ordered by Sophia.

But Zhao Yan didn't have any appetite at all, it was really too exciting to see before, if it weren't for his usual qi cultivation kung fu, he was probably still in a panic now.

Sophia looked at him and asked cautiously, "Zhao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Yan reluctantly squeezed out a relieved smile and said, "It's okay, maybe you're a little tired, you eat first, don't be hungry." ”

Sophia nodded obediently and did not continue to ask.

At the end of an unsavory dinner, the old butler appeared beside him at some point and whispered a word in his ear.

Zhao Yan picked up the napkin and paused slightly, the expression on his face changed, and he quickly regained his composure, nodded to Owen, and said softly to Sophia: "Girl, go to bed early after eating, I still have something to do." ”

"Yes." Sophia was silent for a moment, then nodded in response. A little lost in her heart, she now feels that Zhao and her previous father seem to be a little the same, and they both have a lot of things to do......

Zhao Yan saw Sophia's lost expression, but now there are a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with, Lawrence left Sophia a huge empire of wealth, and now he, an outsider, has become the helmsman of this empire.

With Sophia's weak temperament, if she gets involved in these rights and wrongs, I'm afraid it won't be any good, and Zhao Yan can't bear to do this, maybe Lawrence also took this problem into account and cheated him! Until now, Zhao Yan still has a deep grudge against him.

"Go to bed early, good night." Zhao Yan leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

The longer he spent in Europe, the more he became more and more adaptable, and it was natural for him to do so.

But Sophia was a little excited, she stood up, and also stood on tiptoe and printed a fragrant kiss on Zhao Yan's face.

"Good night ~ Zhao." Saying that, there was a little more rosy on his little face, I don't know if he was shy, or if he recovered a little bit of vitality......

In a hidden tunnel in the ancient castle, Owen walked in front, and Zhao Yan followed him silently.

This tunnel leads to the dungeon that has been abandoned for a long time, but a new "guest" has moved in this evening.

"Is he alright?" Zhao Yan asked.

"I've stopped the bleeding for him, but it's probably too late to pick it up." The old housekeeper's tone was still indifferent, but he always felt a little creepy in Zhao Yan's ears.

"It's good that you're not dead, did you ask something?" Zhao Yan continued to ask.

Owen replied simply: "I have said everything that should be said, and I have said what I shouldn't have said, and now he just wants to beg Mr. Zhao to spare his life." ”

Zhao Yan was surprised, although he didn't know how the old butler made Zoro speak, but it was good to get a little news, he was eager to know who had opened such a big price and wanted to buy him!

Behind a heavy wooden door, the cell made of solid rock was full of oppressive colors, and the utensils were covered with dust and cobwebs, and it looked like the place had been abandoned for a long time.

Zoro was locked in the cell in embarrassment, his face was pale, his face was covered with blood, and two clear tear stains still remained in the corners of his eyes, he actually cried?

A bigwig of an underground force who used to dominate the world actually cried? Zhao Yan glanced at the old housekeeper, and a chill appeared on his back.

Sure enough, Sauron saw that the old butler was like a lamb seeing a hungry wolf, shrunk in the corner of the wall tremblingly, and shouted in a messy tone, "I...... I've said everything! Don't come here! Mom~ I was wrong! No...... I've said everything! Spare me! ”

His nerves had collapsed, or rather, had been completely destroyed by Owen by some cruel means!

Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little pity, but when he thought that this man was still holding a gun at him just now, the only bit of pity disappeared completely, in this cruel world, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to oneself.

"Did he explain it clearly?"

"It's very vague, and he doesn't know the information of the buyer behind it, but the other party must be very big, and when the old man completely blocked the news before, he could still investigate your details, and he dared to contact Sauron, obviously he has a strength that cannot be underestimated." The old butler said truthfully.

Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the people who can produce five billion people are definitely not easy to mess with in terms of wealth and power.

He also knew that if he hadn't been protected and covered by Lawrence before, he might have been slice in some unknown laboratory by now!

The appearance of the mysterious buyer made him feel a little crisis, and it seems that his previous ideas were still a little wrong.

It's already been targeted, if you don't even have the strength to protect yourself, it's better to wash it early and wait to be cut into slices.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Yan think about whether to really control the power left by Lawrence, thinking that guy must have calculated! Thinking of the law forced him to jump into the pit......

Zhao Yan was also shocked by Lawrence's insidious and meticulous calculations, this feeling of being arranged was very bad, but now he had no choice at all.

"I'm a little tired, so let's do it today." Zhao Yan waved his hand tiredly, he was really exhausted in the past few days, even if he played dozens of football games, he was not so tired.

Owen nodded and said, "Then you should rest early, as for him, what should I do?" Do you want to ......?"

The meaning behind made Zhao Yan shake his head decisively, only to hear him say: "He can't die yet, at least until his forces are completely controlled, he can't die, we need to find a replacement." Zhao Yan weighed it, the relationship in this is actually strikingly similar to some things in the workplace, and when he was in China, he was also the CEO of a company, and the stakes were still clear.

It's just that the situation is even more cruel now, and people will die at every turn! He still retains some bottom lines, but he has not yet had the courage to decide a person's life and death.

"Mr. Zhao, you can do it." The old butler never interfered with his decision-making, as if he had decided that he was now at the helm of the Lawrence family.

This made Zhao Yan only smile bitterly, but fortunately, Lawrence still left him a good hole card.

After a moment of thought, he asked, "Owen, it seems that you also have a nephew, right?" ”

"Yes, he was just discharged from the army two years ago."

"I think he's a good fit to replace Zoro." Zhao Yan said.

The old butler smiled and said, "Then I'll let him come to see you tomorrow, I hope you don't blame him for not being able to do things." ”

"Hmm, I don't think he will let me down......" Zhao Yan turned around and left a sentence, walking farther and farther in the tunnel.

Owen looked at his departing back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that the old man has always been accurate in seeing people.
