Chapter 90 Determined

Previous Chapter

The early morning sun rose slowly, which eased the chill in Lunsu City a little.

Rupert's herb shop, the courtyard courtyard is warm in the east wing.

The golden silk tent of the agarwood bed was drapeful, and Bernice Matildel had woken up and was quietly looking at Joyce lying beside her.

Joyce went back to sleep in the middle of the night, and although she covered the same bed with the girl, she did not make any further moves.

"Woke up so early?"

Facing the girl's gaze, Joyce asked softly without opening her eyes.

The plump girl pulled the quilt in shame and made a subtle sound.

Joyce gently hugged the girl's delicate body, and her face was calm and indifferent.

In Joyce's mind, the plump girl in his arms following him must be no more comfortable than when he was in Sheng Yan's private house, and there are many things to do to manage a family.

"Isn't it a little late to work on Golden Rose Street?" the girl tightened up, and her unnatural tone was apologetic.

"I'm going to go to the Orlando Bank in Moya District in the morning, and you follow. Joyce patted the girl and gave a clear response.

After a while, after Joyce let go of the girl, she gently got up and got out of bed.

"Very sensible. ”

Joyce was pleased that the girl had spoken of the work of Golden Rose Street, without mentioning the MI or the reception.

When the plump girl had changed her clothes and left the room, Joyce reached out and rubbed her eyes.

Gradually, the blood rust in Joyce's right eye had faded.

After entering the bathroom and rinsing off, Joyster changed into a black suit.

The plump girl personally brought the arranged breakfast into the side room, and the three slave girls stood aside.

"In the future, just let the people below do this kind of thing. Joyce motioned for Bernice to eat with her, and then looked at the three slave girls.

"This herb shop is not big, you can just look at and arrange two or three people, don't be busy. Joyce drank some porridge and said to Bernice.

"Do you want to get up and running as soon as possible?"

A plump girl in a cotton gown gently asked what Joyce meant.

"Well, for the time being, you don't need to invest too much, and while running a medicinal herb business, you can also treat people. Joyce nodded.

After breakfast at nine o'clock in the morning, Bernice arranged for Sancho Turner, a dark-skinned handywoman, to go out and call a carriage.

Although she didn't understand why Joyce went to the bank, Bernice was very measured and didn't ask much if she was curious.

It was relatively quiet in the carriage, and Joyce just looked out the window.

When she arrived at the Orlandu branch, she found the bearded man waiting anxiously in the bank's VIP room, and Joyce had a smile on her face.

"Joyce, it's not a gentleman's job to not keep time. Cliff first looked at Bernice, who was following Joyce, but couldn't help it.

"Sorry, I woke up late. ”

Joyce smiled and confessed, causing Cliff's face to twitch slightly.

"Do you want cash, or do you want money to be transferred to your account?" Joyce whispered to Cliff.

"Cash. ”

Cliff didn't mind following Joyce's plump girl, and spoke bluntly.

Motioning for Cliff and Bernice to wait, Joyce whispered to the bank counter in the VIP room, and pulled out a note of two thousand gold from the passbook.

A full twenty bundles of small bills, the teller counted them all for a while.

It's not just Cliff's small eyes staring at the counter, even if Bernice isn't looking intently, she can see Joyce withdrawing a lot of cash.

"Do you want to go together?"

Joyce gave Cliff a bundle of banknotes, with the intention of being a bodyguard.

Hurriedly putting fifteen hundred gold in his purse, Cliff glanced at Joyce and left alone.

"The five hundred is for you, the operation of the herb shop, you need money in the early stage, you save it yourself, don't take it back to the herb shop. Joyce handed the remaining five bundles of gold to the plump girl.

Watching the plump girl go to the counter by herself, walking with a pair of small legs and a little duck step, Joyce smiled and sighed that no one is perfect, but it is quite cute.

"What needs to be done is urgent. ”

Leaving the bank, Joyce got into the carriage to take Bernice back, as a reminder.

The plump girl had known Joyce for a few days, but it was only then that she realized that she didn't know the man.

Returning Bernice to the herb shop on Herb Street, Joyce turned to Golden Rose Street, where it was nearly noon at the reception.

"This time I will spend two thousand gold Luo coins, and the remaining four thousand five hundred gold Luo coins will have to buy secret things, I don't know if it is enough!" Joyce calculated in his mind before entering the reception.

"Early. ”

Seeing Arrin sitting at the cast-iron table on the first floor of the reception, Joyce greeted with a smile.

"Joyce, you've just been promoted to mid-rank sergeant!"

Yarlin obviously disagreed with this statement, and laughed with reservations.

"In the afternoon, I went to the cemetery to pay my respects to old Rupert. Joyce said this, but looked at Arrin with an inquiring gaze.

"Are you going to worship?"

Arrin didn't seem to expect Joyce to have such an idea, and thought about it.

"I should have visited, I haven't been to the cemetery since Rupert Sr. was buried. Joyce said in a deep voice, as if caught in a memory.

Seeing that Joyce was wearing a black tweed coat, which was also a black suit, Arrin did not doubt his statement, and the reason why he did not react immediately was only because the death of old Rupert was a little sensitive.

"Joyce, have you seen Frankie in the past two days?" Jarrin had a guess and asked Joyce about his concerns.

"I'm supposed to have met him, I don't know him very well!" Joyce shook her head, smiling helplessly.

The last time the coachman and Joyce saw each other was when they were pulling Cliff's heavy fire to the herb shop.

"I guess Frankie may have to attack the secret cultivation, he is not young, and it is not easy to succeed. Arrin had the intention of keeping an eye on some coachmen.

Joyce only smiled, but did not express any intent, as if he did not care whether the coachman would succeed or not.

"The Cape Trading House is almost packed, and it will reopen tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, it will be early to get a foothold, and there are some troubles that need to be solved if you want to gain a foothold in the circle of the slave trade and the gladiatorial arena. "Arrin meant to ask Joyce for help.

"I know, I'll be over tomorrow. ”

Joyce agreed, and he subconsciously thought of the conflict of interests, if this is the case, it must be dangerous.

"Arnochie Andwell and Miss Caroline have not yet been found, and may no longer be in Rensu. Yarlin said with a look of pity.

"Not to mention the Lunsu Police Department, even we come into contact with a lot of cases every day, and not every case can be solved. Joyce laughed and went upstairs as she spoke.

"Elena, you pack up, I want to go to the cemetery. Joyce found the blonde girl Elena in the second-floor lounge, and began to urge her before she could speak.

Elena glanced at Joyce in surprise, and went to the changing room on her own, unable to say anything at the reception.

By the time Elena had changed into black and Joyce had taken her out of the reception, Arrin had already looked for the carriage outside.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Arrin motioned to Joyce that it might be better to worship old Rupert with him.

"I brought a gun. ”

Joyce slapped her purse and smiled, rejecting Yarlin's offer.

"Why do you suddenly want to worship old Rupert?"

It was only after getting into the carriage that Elena whispered, she thought that it was usually morning to go to the cemetery.

"I killed that mechanic, and I avenged old Rupert. Joyce said with a blank face, taking a deep breath.

The cemetery is located southeast of the city of Rensu, and Joyce and Elena took an hour by carriage.

"Please wait here for us for a while. ”

Outside the cemetery, Joyce got out of the carriage and paid the coachman five copper buruns.

"You should buy a bouquet of flowers. ”

Elena looked at the gloom around the Winter Cemetery and whispered to Joyce.

"Elena, there are no outsiders now, did old Rupert say anything to you, or did he leave anything behind?" Joyce asked the blonde girl after vaguely observing her surroundings, not sensing the snooping.

"There are two numbers, 31-44. ”

Elena hesitated, but told Joyce the truth.

"It's different, when Rupert Sr. died, the number that came to my mind was 28-57. Unlike Elena, Joyce didn't tell what she knew.

"Do you know where we both came from? I'm not talking about orphanages, I'm talking about where we were born. Joyce asked as she walked without looking at Elena.

Noticing Elena shaking her head strangely, Joyce thought about the memories she had received from the old mechanic's eyes, and didn't explain anything to her.

"The tombstones in the garden, the junction of horizontal row 31 and vertical row 44, and horizontal row 28 and vertical row 57. As he walked, Joyce used the microscopic ability of his right eye very subtly, stealthily glancing towards the place he cared about.

"Sure enough. ”

Joyce's right eye seemed to close the distance and peer into the tomb, and found similar oilskin wraps in two places in the cemetery.

As for Rupert Sr.'s body, Joyce was very sure that it was not in the coffin, and there was a body in the coffin nailed under the tombstone, but it was not Rupert Sr.

Coming to the tombstone of old Rupert, Joyce stood solemnly and looked at the epitaph on the stele and saluted, which was regarded as a remembrance of the old man.

At this time, Joyce's mood was quite complicated, one was that the old Rupert left relics for him and Elena, and the other was because he came to worship the old man.

However, what Joyce minded the most was that he learned about Rupert Sr.'s past and his life history with Elena through the old mechanic's pupil power memory.

The name Ye Chen, he originally planned to bury it deep in his heart and live as Joyce, but he didn't expect that the body occupied by the soul was also called Ye Chen when he was born.

"When I was on Earth, there were some young people in Huaxia who thought they were fashionable, but they were used to being called by English names by others, could it be that when I introduced myself to others, I wanted to say hello, my name is Joyce, and you can also call me Ye Chen?" Joyce sighed silently in her heart.
