Chapter Forty-Six: Restlessness
"My friend, you've been doing a great job lately!"
In the restaurant's private room, Charles took a sip of his wine and looked at Albert with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Charles, for causing you trouble, but I've been a little more aggressive in order to get revenge." Albello smiled apologetically at Charles. "You should have taken on a lot of pressure for me during this time, right?"
Charles suddenly sneered.
"If it were to anyone else, I would tell him in all seriousness how much pressure I have endured for him, and how difficult it is, but to you, friend, I can tell you the truth...... It's okay, you're doing a great job. Charles patted Albert on the shoulder, expressing how satisfied he was, "Very well done, I didn't expect you to achieve such a big result so quickly, and I thought that if it didn't work, I would personally come out to help you!" ”
"Huh?" Albert was a little surprised by Charles' reaction.
"Didn't you just kill some hyenas? Nothing, well done. No one cares whether they live or die, as long as the rest of us listen to us, your mission is considered a success, and you have done it. Charles poured himself another glass of wine, "Besides, you have to deal with those gangsters, you have to be real, otherwise they won't be convinced by your ......"
Then, he lowered his voice, "The president is also very satisfied with your results, and he asked me to tell you privately that he supports your actions, and tells you not to worry, let it go, and he will reward you for your hard work in the future." But...... You don't have to take the second half of the sentence seriously. ”
"I don't need to take it seriously, as long as I can make my wish come true. Besides, I wasn't going to ask for anything from him in the first place. Albert shrugged casually, "As long as he can tolerate me now?" ”
"Since you think so, then I don't need to persuade anything more." Charles raised his glass again. "Come on, let's have another drink."
"Speaking of which, you are proud of the spring breeze now, and you have suddenly become a great gang leader." With an implicit exhortation and warning, Charles raised his eyes and looked at Albert, "However, I think it's better that you don't get too obsessed with such a position. ”
"Oh, I know that, too. Now I'm just touching your light, and I'm so scared that they don't dare to resist, and I won't be able to touch your light one day. Who's going to listen to me? Albert nodded, indicating that he could understand what Charles meant, "So, I understand what you mean." Now I'm able to echo all of them. It's just a temporary illusion - but I don't have to worry about it. ”
"If only you could understand," Charles sighed with relief...... "As long as people are still biting each other, there will be no room for gangs, they will fight each other after all, in order to grab resources, to divide interests, to fight for time." Right now. They are temporarily united only because they are of use to Mr. President. As long as Mr. President gets what he wants, these people will have no use value, and who will care about them at that time? It's just that I don't think it's going to be far enough......"
"Anyway, at least now I can command them, can I?" Albert smiled nonchalantly, "At least it can help you for now." ”
"I don't need any help from these gangsters, huh?" Charles asked rhetorically.
"You don't have it, but others may not be gone......" Albert's face suddenly crossed a mystery, "Friend, don't say it, I'm helping you right now." ”
"Huh?" Charles looked at Albert in bewilderment.
"She didn't tell you?"
"What she? Albert, don't talk half-talked. Charles couldn't help but wonder even more.
"Why, your aunt didn't come to you when she came back?" Albert was also a little confused.
"Agnes? She's back in Paris? How do you know? Charles replied immediately.
Then, he looked at Albert with a little suspicion, "She didn't come to me, what's wrong?" Listen to your tone, you've bumped into her. ”
"Not only did I run into her, but I was also entrusted to help her!" Albert replied in a slightly exaggerated tone, "It's just that when we met, the scene was not very good. ”
"Then don't sell it, tell me honestly, what's going on?" Charles couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and patted him on the shoulder again.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you this." Albert poured himself a full glass of wine, and then recounted to Charles about his meeting with Agnes that day.
Accidentally ran into a pile of corpses, and then was entrusted with a heavy task by her, and finally decided to let Kong Ze help...... After hearing these words, the smile on Charles's face gradually faded, and he frowned and groaned.
"She wants you to help find someone?"
What a strange request, as a duchess lady, who she wants to find, why can't she go to the social arena and ask a friend to find it?
Who was she looking for, so that Agnes risked her life to go to the gang leader and ask for help?
Unless...... Unless, the person she is looking for is not visible.
Is it a lover? Or is it an enemy? Or something else?
"Charles, what's wrong?" Seeing that Charles was still confused, Albert couldn't help but urge.
But as if he hadn't heard, Charles was still groaning.
My aunt, who had been wandering abroad for almost ten years, suddenly returned to China and suddenly came to Paris again, and then wanted to find someone to help find someone - this thing seemed strange and unusual.
He's not a nosyman, and he doesn't know how to interfere.
However, the indescribable feeling that suddenly rose in his heart made him feel that this fact was too strange, and he should not be completely dismissed as his own business, and it was better to explore it.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally felt that he should ask a little more - if it really wasn't his business, then doing Agnes such a favor would be harmless anyway; If it's really related to you, then think about another countermeasure.
After deciding what to do, he looked up at Albert again.
"Who is she looking for?"
"In her words, a middle-aged man named François de Laguion......" Albert replied immediately.
"De Laguion?" Charles frowned slightly, but didn't find any information about it from his memory, "Haven't heard of this person?" Or an aristocrat? ”
"Who knows if it's true, but I've never heard that name in the social arena anyway." Albert shrugged his shoulders, "It's just a pseudonym, after all, we checked it before, and the person with this name stayed in a hotel in Paris, and then disappeared in a few days." ”
After hearing Albert's words, the uneasy premonition in Charles's heart couldn't help but suddenly become stronger and stronger. He couldn't tell why he was upset, but he just felt it was too unusual to ignore it entirely.
"You've already started to check, huh? Is Kong Ze helping to check this now? ”
"Well, now he's helping. He used to work in the police department, isn't he a specialty in doing this? Albert nodded, "Don't worry, after this period of time, I can be considered to be familiar with the current business, even if Kong Ze can't help me with all his might, I can do a good job." Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate to do this, I'll let Kong Ze come back tomorrow......"
"No...... Don't ......" Charles slowly raised his hand and vetoed Albert's suggestion, "No matter how you say that the other person is also my aunt, this little favor should still be helped, since you have already done it, then it doesn't matter if you let Kong Ze help her find someone now." ”
Having said that, he had secretly decided in his heart that he would summon Kong Ze back to him for a while, and ask him how he was helping Agnes, and find out what kind of reputation his aunt was doing now.
He wasn't going to tell Albert about this decision, he just asked in private.
At the end of the day, he decided that he should still have a false alarm.
Seeing that Charles had already made up his mind, Albert didn't plan to ask more, he quickly changed the subject.
"Charles, I've been doing so much lately, I'm really tired, I'm going to relax and treat myself to it lately."
"What are you going to do again?" Charles, of course, understood what Albert meant. "Let's talk about it first, I've had a lot of things going on lately, so I'm not going to be too crazy with you."
"Don't be crazy......" Albert smiled, "I want to go to the racecourse and try my luck, I heard that the son of Baron de Beauvoin has recently gotten himself some good horses, and the limelight is very strong!" Let's go and gamble together, shall we? ”
"Okay, I'll go with you when I have time." Charles nodded.
After agreeing on the next time to meet for dinner, Albert said goodbye to Charles, and got up to leave the private room, while Charles stayed here for the time being—according to the custom of the two old friends, it was Charles' turn to pay the bill.
However, until Albert's figure disappeared, Charles did not get up to leave, and remained in his seat.
He was still thinking about what Albert had just told him, and for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.
Agnes' sudden return, and then such a mysterious act, that he could not easily put it aside in any way, though until now he had never wanted to believe that Agnes would have any plans against him.
It wasn't until a long time later that he put aside the distractions that were bothering him and ran to settle the bill with the store.
Either way, be sure to figure it out. (To be continued!)
