Seeing that the mediocre-looking, freckled, and strictly speaking a little ugly maid took off the human skin mask, revealing the true face of Lushan, Chu Tianjiang's eyes immediately widened in surprise, and then he concluded that the one who was sent by Stewart to the town near the base was a stand-in.

This young woman is not a stunning stunner, her eyebrows are very similar to Craig, and at a glance you know that she is Craig's daughter.

"Angelina, put on your mask." Craig nodded at the young woman and said to Chu Tianjiang, "Angelina is my daughter, and her only daughter. At the time of the catastrophe, my two sons were in Guam and the other in Okinawa. Now, Angelina is my only flesh and blood. If I had known that Stewart would be able to reach her destination safely and meet you, Angelina would already be in the safest place in the world. Unfortunately, I can't see the future, so Angelina is still here. ”

"None of us can predict the future, and no one knows what the future will look like."

Craig sighed and said, "As long as you can keep her safe, I will grant you any request, including relocating the Chamber of Commerce to Lakewood and assisting the Asian group against the Jewish group." I have lost two sons and can never lose my only daughter again. ”

"Let me take her out of the United States?"

"It would be great if we could, but the current situation probably doesn't allow us to do that." Craig smiled and said, "I won't let anyone take Angelina unless you take her to the Chinese military station, and there's obviously no way you're going to leave Lakewood for Angelina." ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, and did not tell Craig about his ability to travel thousands of miles in a day.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang had already realized that Craig had done a lot of things for this daughter. For example, the maids in the manor are all mediocre in appearance, and some are even ugly, which is completely different from other powerful people. According to Chu Tianjiang's guess, Craig is still an ascetic, rarely close to women, or homosexual, so as to make people believe that he has no interest in women, so there is no need to arrange beautiful maids. Craig was able to do this for his daughter, showing that he loved her deeply and was a good father who was very rare in this troubled world.

"Mr. Chu?"

"How do you want me to place Angelina?"

"Let her follow you."

"What?"

"Nominally, of course, your lady-in-waiting, or your lady's handmaid."

"This ......"

"Your wife is pregnant, and she definitely needs someone to take care of her."

"She's got enough maids, but they all stayed in Lakewood and didn't come with us to Houston."

"Since there are a lot of them, you don't care about one more, right?"

"This ......"

"Angelina is very sensible and can do very things, she can take care of herself. You can give her a job to do what a maid is supposed to do, but don't let her get hurt. Craig let out a long breath and said, "If the day you say it is, this world will soon return to its former order. I hope that when that day comes, Angelina will be able to become an ordinary person, marry a reliable man, have children for him, live a peaceful life, and be able to see her grandchildren when she is old. ”

"She's your only flesh and blood, and you don't want her to inherit your family business?"

Craig smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you and I have experienced a lot of things, do you think my family business is worthy of envy?" ”

"This ......"

"If it weren't for the officers and soldiers who were born and died with me, if it weren't for the people who trusted me, I would have left Houston a long time ago."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "I agree to your request. ”

"I have known for a long time, and you will definitely not refuse."

"Really?"

"I didn't tell you yesterday because I don't know if you have the ability to protect Angelina. Of course, you have proven it with your actions. ”

"In that case, I'll leave Houston this afternoon."

"No problem, I'll arrange a vehicle for you, as well as the supplies you need on the road. Angelina will leave with you later, and I'll leave it to you from now on. ”

"Trust me so much?"

Craig smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, I can't distrust you now. ”

"For what?"

"Obviously, you need not only me as a person, but my chamber of commerce to cooperate with me. Next, I'm going to transfer the Chamber of Commerce to Lakewood, and I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of trouble, and maybe I'm going to be in trouble, so Angelina has to go with you before I can let go. Craig paused for a moment and said, "I'm sure that even if I fail and don't make it to Lakewood with the Chamber of Commerce, you'll take care of Angelina for me." ”

"As I said, we can't see the future, we can only try to change it. As long as we do our best, we will have a clear conscience. Chu Tianjiang said solemnly, "No matter what the result is, as long as I am alive, I will not let Angelina be bullied by others." ”

"Mr. Chu......" Craig was also a little excited.

"How much time do you need?"

"One month, two months at most. When the situation in Houston stabilizes, I'll have Stuart lead a caravan to Lakewood and bring you food. ”

"You'd better have another general affairs officer."

"For what?"

"For the Chamber of Commerce to move to Lakewood, it naturally needs to prepare in advance. Besides, it's not me who works with you, it's the Wild Rose of the Asian group, and I'm just your matchmaker. Let Stewart come back to Lakewood with me to negotiate with Wild Rose as plenipotentiary. ”

Craig thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's true, let Stuart go to Lakewood with you." ”

"Also, the matter of sending a caravan to deliver food to Lakewood must be arranged as soon as possible. At the time of my departure, Lakewood had only one month's worth of food. If the Jewish group is ready to deal with the Asian group, I am afraid that it will not last for a month, and nothing can be done without food. ”

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"If I could, I need a convoy, the size doesn't need to be too big, a hundred people are enough, but there must be absolute loyalty, and preferably everyone will drive a van."

"You're going to return to Lakewood on a part-time trip?"

"What happened in Houston, especially after Perry's death, the Jewish community will soon know that we have established a cooperative relationship, and we will speed up the pace of dealing with the Asian group, and we will even try to do it before I lead the caravan back to Lakewood, so we must return to Lakewood as quickly as possible, and we can't delay on the road, and the current caravan personnel can't do it day and night."

Craig nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away and give you two hundred people." ”

"A hundred is enough."

"Fifty more carts of food for you."

"This ......"

"The caravan you left in Oklahoma City can carry a hundred truckloads of grain back to Lakewood at most, which is just over a thousand tons, and it will only last for a month at most. With the addition of fifty carts of grain, it can last for a month and a half. If the distribution of grain is strictly followed, it should be able to last for two months. When the time comes, no matter what the situation is here in Houston, I will go to Lakewood with all the goods and personnel of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"That's fine, just in time to get back the batch of arms I left in Lakewood."

"Munitions?" Craig's eyes widened.

"Thousands of firearms."

"Can you use it?"

"They can all be used normally, but some of the barrels are seriously worn out and the accuracy is not good enough, and the others are fine, definitely much better than the arms bought on the market."

"That's great, you don't have money to buy guns in Houston."

"Listen to Stewart, Houston is also an arms center, and you can't buy guns yet?"

"All we have in Houston is ammunition, and after we fell out with Perry, there were very few guns on the market, and all we could buy was rubbish."

"In that case, you'll have to send some more people to Oklahoma City."

Craig nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.

Subsequently, the two discussed some details.

When Stewart brought Nicol and the others along, Chu Tianjiang found that they were choosing some gemstone jewelry that was not so valuable, but there was no one.

The sun had already risen high, Chu Tianjiang did not delay any longer, and after discussing the time and place of the rendezvous with Stewart, he took Nicol and the others to the port.

The yacht had returned, Clara was sunbathing on the top deck, Carol was busy preparing lunch, and Doris was standing by the pier to prevent others from boarding the yacht. The news of Perry's manor had been attacked, and Clara didn't need to ask Chu Tianjiang for more explanations. What really needs to be explained is Craig's baby daughter and why he dresses up as a maid. Although she was a little surprised, Clara quickly understood, and not only kept Angelina, but also let her stay by her side as a personal maid.

Before lunch, Chu Tianjiang asked Clara and the others to pack their luggage.

Hearing that they would leave Houston in the afternoon and return to Lakewood after joining up with the caravan in Oklahoma City, Doris and the others were more active.

Craig's men were on time, and Chu Tianjiang and they had just finished lunch when a hundred guards came to the port.

Because there was a large shipment of arms to be shipped back to Houston, Craig dispatched a total of 1,500 guards and was preparing for a showdown with the Houston white group after receiving the arms. As for what Craig would do next, Chu Tianjiang didn't ask much, and there was no need to ask. If Craig wasn't completely sure, he would definitely not cooperate with Chu Tianjiang, and he would definitely not hand over his daughter to Chu Tianjiang.

After joining up with the large army led by Stewart, Chu Tianjiang and the others left Houston in the afternoon.

There was no trouble leaving Houston, and the real trouble was how to get back to Lakewood.
