Chapter 116: Guarantee and Conspiracy
Dog's breakfast.
This was Charles' first impression when he entered Baron de Beauwon's study.
Yes, the impression is too strong.
The stalls were littered with the remains of broken porcelain and jewelry, and the once extravagant decorations were now in shambles, and the entire study seemed to have been swept away by a typhoon.
Even more shocking than this mess is the man standing inside.
Baron de Beauvan, who was short and stocky, stood next to the bookshelf in the corner, looking coldly at Charles who had just walked in. His current state of mind was terrible at first glance - his clothes were disheveled, and he had broken in many places, and he had obviously just vented well; Pingsuri's neatly combed hair was now very disheveled, covering his eyes.
Under the cover of the hair, the already very strange eyes are now looming like ghost fire, and with the shadows, it makes people shudder.
After staring at each other for a moment, before Charles could speak, the big banker roared.
"You've come just in time! Call that friend of yours to me, too! I'm going to interrogate him myself! ”
This sudden terrifying roar made not only Charles, but even Lola behind him slightly stunned.
Seeing that no one answered, the baron seemed to become even more agitated, and he looked at his daughter! He waved his hand in a variety of ways.
"Get me out! I'm going to talk to him alone! ”
After her father's roar, Lola's face became even paler, and she didn't dare to speak, but nodded slightly. Then he exited the room and closed the door again.
Now, Charles finally understood what Lola meant by "his current mental state is a little worrying...... She must have suffered enough at home in the past two days.
It seems that no matter how ruthless and resolute the person is. It's hard to control yourself when you suffer from the pain of losing a child...... Charles sighed softly.
For a moment, he suddenly felt a certain pity for this man that came from contempt.
However, of course, his face was still very sad.
"Sir, please mourn ......"
"I called you here not to make you say such boring nonsense! Hurry up and call him to me! The baron interrupted him impatiently and stared at him fiercely.
"But please calm down, sir?" Charles replied as calmly as he could, not wanting to get angry with the current baron, "I'll come." I just want to tell you about it - my friend Albert has nothing to do with this unfortunate incident. ”
He then told the Baron exactly what had happened to Albert and Maurice.
"So, where was he that night?" The baron asked immediately.
"He was playing with a few friends that night, but he was a little tired by midnight because of a bit of work lately, and then he ...... Then he finished the game and rode back to his house in the carriage to rest......"
That is, except for his own people. Don't have another witness? Even in this case, the baron's eyes were sharp and sharp, "Then how can you be sure that what he said is true?" ”
The question made Charles speechless for a moment.
Indeed, Albert is now the most troublesome problem. It was that his actions that night were not enough to win the baron's trust, which is why he was so anxious.
But, nevertheless. Charles still believes in his friends.
"Look, as I just said. It's just a common spur of the moment among young people in the social world, and it doesn't mean that Albert really wants to do something bad to your son......" he continued. "Albert now has everything he should have, so why would he do such a stupid thing for the sake of a momentary battle of will?"
A chilled smile appeared on the baron's face.
"Is that all you're going to tell me?"
That's a bit too much.
Charles was a little unhappy, but he still maintained a pleasant face.
"Sir, I can understand your current feelings, but I can't let you question Albert at will. You are not a court, you don't have this power, only the judiciary has this power. Besides, he is now also a public official and a supporter of Mr. President......"
"Judicial ......? And now you're still telling me jokes like that? Leave this kind of high-sounding words to your children, I want to see others! And what happened to the president's supporters? I am also a supporter of the president! The baron, who was still angry, did not take Charles's explanation at all, and then, "You're sheltering him now, aren't you?" Or are you in league with him? You did this together?! ”
"Me? That's enough! Why would I do such a thing? We are now collaborators, will it do me any good to kill your son! I defend Albert because he is my friend and I must protect him from malicious slander and unfounded suspicion! Under such terrible suspicion from the other party, Charles did not feel any fear, and even his tone couldn't help but harden a little, "If our judicial authorities really investigate what is wrong with him, I have nothing to say; But just by virtue of such arbitrary suspicions of yours to want him to become another victim, I'm sorry, I absolutely can't agree! I will do my best to protect him! ”
The baron's eyes widened, evidently angering him. "Okay, now that you're developed, do you think you can do whatever you want? Can't you just take me for granted? Sue you, even if you are a character now, as long as I use all my strength, I can still bring you down! Do you want to give it a try?! ”
"I know what you're capable of, and I believe you can do it, but so what?!" Charles's anger also came up, and he also roared at the big banker, "I'm not easy to bully, I won't sit still, let's fight when the time comes!" Besides, even if you try your best to bring me down, do you think I'm going to lose? Can you kill me?! No, you know it yourself, you can't do it now! And I'm still very young, I still have time, even if it takes twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, I can afford to wait, I can get up from the bottom again, and get the qiē I was destined to get again! And then, and what else can you do with me then? Now, do you want to destroy our solid cooperation because of unfounded arbitrary suspicions, or do you want to sit down and talk about how we can continue to work together? Sue me, are you old and confused now? Is it because his son died that he couldn't get up? Then I'm really going to underestimate you, so that's just it! ”
In the messy study, two people looked at each other, their faces were very ugly, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in their sight. The room was frighteningly silent, except for the irrepressible gasps of two people who were excited by their emotions.
I don't know how long they looked at each other, but the wheezing voices of the two people slowly calmed down.
"In other words, do you dare to vouch for that person with yourself?" The baron stared at him and asked gloomily, "If it turns out that you are wrong, do you know what price you should pay?" ”
"Yes, I would vouch for him. He's my best friend, and I absolutely trust him because I know him so well. Charles replied firmly, without hesitation.
"Okay, then you can go back and sue him, I can not look for him now, but he can't leave Paris recently, otherwise he will know the consequences!"
"Thank you for believing in me this time, I'll tell him." Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew what to do with the big banker - and only this unflinching response would make him feel guilty.
And Yiqiē also developed according to his hopes.
"Believe you? No, I don't believe anyone right now! The baron frowned tightly, "Tell you the truth, now I doubt everyone, except the most suspicious people, including you, including my daughter, I am suspicious!" ”
"I can understand that suspicion is one of the best essential qualities of a banker, and I certainly can be within your range of suspicions." Charles shrugged slightly, "But you don't have to doubt your daughter, because she stayed with my sister that night, and I heard my sister say that they talked late......"
"Maybe they colluded to deceive us?" The baron replied with a sneer.
"You're going too far! Why doubt my sister? What reason does she have to commit perjury for your daughter, and does it mean anything to her? As soon as he heard the other party say this, Charles's heart couldn't help but feel a little angry again, "If you suspect my friend and my sister, you might as well just say that it was a case I committed with my own hands!" ”
Seeing Charles' retort like this, the baron also knew that he had said too much, so he didn't dwell on it anymore.
"I'm just skeptical, after all, anyone can be possible, isn't it?"
"Then you don't have to involve my sister, do you?" Seeing that the other party's tone softened, Charles also slowed down his attitude, and then he looked at the other party with some suspicion, "So, who are the 'most suspicious people' you just said?" ”
The expression on the baron's face suddenly vanished.
A qiē returned to silence.
The silence lasted for a few moments, and the baron finally spoke again.
"Mr. Trelville, let's continue to work together." He took a deep breath, then looked up at Charles, "Do you dare to have a big deal with me!" ”
"What do you mean?" In Charles's heart, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Together, let's bring those Jews down! I'm going to bankrupt these dog mongrels and kill the whole family! The baron's face suddenly became distorted, "When the time comes, we will divide the account equally!" (To be continued......) R1292
