"The world is wonderful, isn't it?" "You said you were leaving earlier than Yi Shui, but now, he's gone, and you're still in San Diego," Rachel said. ”

"Life is full of all sorts of accidents, Rachel." Qin Lang sighed heavily, "No one can act exactly according to the plan. ”

"I'm sorry, Qin." Elizabeth said apologetically.

The reason she was sorry was because of his father. Two days earlier, they had received a telegram from Mr. Daubes that he and Mrs. Daubers would arrive in San Diego in three days' time, that is, tomorrow.

This is actually good news. After more than a year of procrastinating to San Diego after announcing that he was moving his family and business to San Diego, Mr. Daubers had finally made that plan a reality – so it was only natural that he wanted to see the welcome when he and his wife stepped off the train.

Yes, as his daughter and niece, Elizabeth and Rachel must be greeted at the train station, but Qin Lang must also show up - as long as he still wants to marry the daughter of the Daubers family, it is impossible for him to leave his future father-in-law aside and go east as planned.

And this time, like the last time, he still wanted to travel with Elizabeth; For the two of them, this was a rare opportunity to deepen their relationship, so he was not willing to give it up.

So Qin Lang had to postpone his plan.

"Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long," he smiled, "and Mr. and Mrs. Daubers will be in San Diego tomorrow." So in fact, I only lost four days. ”

"Don't be too optimistic, Qin." Rachel shook his head, "You don't quite know my uncle-in-law yet. If there's one thing he tells you he can do in three days, then you'd better be prepared to wait five days or more. My brother-in-law is a very procrastinating person, he ......"

"Rachel!" Elizabeth frowned at her. While this is true, it is still too blatant to talk about the shortcomings of elders in public...... At the very least, there is a lack of respect.

But that's what Rachel is like now. On the one hand, she does lack respect for her elders and does not like most of her relatives very much, on the other hand, she has been in charge of the day-to-day management of the Great Viper Weapons Company since three years ago, and has become accustomed to orders, accusations, reprimands and ridicule, and it is obviously not so realistic to expect her to still be able to maintain respect for a relative who is not liked by her in the first place.

So Elizabeth was secretly worried. In the past, Rachel's minor problems were not a problem, but now that her parents are moving to San Diego, her minor problems may become a source of family conflict. And family conflicts, past, present, and even in the future, have never been successfully resolved.

Things seem to be very troublesome......

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing, Qin." Elizabeth shrugged and tried to make her tone sound as lighthearted as she could, as well as a little extra banter, "It's just that I'm guessing when our little Rachel will be able to see her little Yishui again." ”

She wanted to shift the conversation to something else. But unlike what she had imagined, Rachel did not become as angry as she had before, her tone was still calm, and Elizabeth's answer was surprising: "It won't be long." When you return to San Diego from the east, I'll take a break from work and head to Guangzhou Bay to visit Yishui. ”

"Are you going to China?" Elizabeth exclaimed, "It's incredible. Rachel, I was surprised. ”

But Qin Lang was not surprised at all, he knew what it was because of. Rachel didn't go to Canton Bay entirely because of Yi Shui — she was never the kind of person who would put her career aside for months for love — she had some of the company's work in the concession that she had to handle.

To be precise, she was responsible for setting up branches of the Great Viper Weapons Company and the Umbrella Company in Guangzhou Bay, and Yi Shui lacked the ability to do the job, and the company did not have any senior employees who could replace her. Although Qin Lang was willing to go in person after his trip to the east, just yesterday, a telegram made him have to cancel the idea.

Hartman and Wang Zhen, two desperate for results, eventually got into trouble: as Wang Zhen had always feared, their efforts to expand China's civilian arms market had succeeded in arousing the high vigilance of the Qing government, and the large-scale manhunt that had already been quelled by the attempted riots of the previous year was unfolding again, and now the situation in Guangdong was becoming more tense and not suitable for him for several months.

Of course, the Qing government did not have the courage and strength to enter the concession to search, and even if any secret agents really entered the concession, it was impossible for them to threaten Qin Lang, who was under the protection of mercenaries; But considering his plans, especially the one that was going on, Qin Lang didn't think he was suitable to appear in the concession.

Rebels, arms dealers, weapons, mercenaries...... Not only the Qing government, but all these discordant factors come together at the wrong time and place, and any government will come to the wrong conclusion; Hartman and Wang Zhen's actions can also be explained by the two guys' own actions, but if the boss behind the scenes appears in person, then suspicion of motives is no longer avoidable.

Qin Lang didn't want his plan to send military advisers to be affected, so he could only leave the matter to Rachel, and it was difficult for a woman visiting her fiancé to attract the attention of others; As for Yi Shui, he was an officer in the federal army, and the troops were stationed in the concession, and no one would think that there was anything wrong with him there.

Moreover, with the Qing government's intelligence-gathering capabilities and power in the United States, it is impossible for it to fully understand Yishui's relationship with the Great Viper Weapons Company and the Umbrella Company.

The situation remains favourable for Yishui.

Qin Lang retracted his thoughts slightly, and said with a smile: "My personal opinion, maybe you can take this opportunity to hold a wedding in Guangzhou Bay and have an exotic honeymoon again." ”

Rachel glared at him fiercely, then laughed. "Thank you for your advice, Qin, but I think you and Elizabeth are the ones who should be married." "You see, my aunt and uncle will be in San Diego tomorrow, and you're on your way to the east......," she mocked.

"Rachel!"

"Miss McBride!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, one belonging to Elizabeth and the other to Fisborne—who jumped out of a carriage that had rushed straight to the dock and ran towards them in a sweaty manner.

Qin Lang, Rachel, and Elizabeth were all puzzled. If Fisborne had called Qin Lang's name, they would have thought it might have something to do with the Japanese spy or the missing Messerschmitt, but now, it's Rachel's name...... What was there to do with her that deserved him to be so alarmed?

"Mr. Fisborne, what's the matter with you?" Rachel asked.

But Fisborne did not answer her immediately, but first drew a cross on his chest. "Thank God you are all here."

"What's going on?" Qin Lang wanted to know.

Not a particularly important thing...... But it can also be the opposite. "That's right, boss, Miss Daubers's parents and brother have arrived in San Diego, and now they are at your house." The Chief of Security said loudly, but no one believed him.

"It can't be!" Rachel began by declaring, "This is not my uncle's style. ”

Then there was Elizabeth, who was a little incoherent. "It's incredible, it's unbelievable...... How could my parents have arrived earlier than the time said on the telegram? This is completely out of line. ”

"Where did you get this news, Mr. Fisborne?" Qin Lang asked.

"Ms. Nancy told me, boss." Ms. Nancy was their new butler, but Mr. Daubers had been their maid the last time he was in San Diego, so her news was undoubtedly credible. "I was going to report to you about our captive, but I met her at the door of the office—"

Rachel interrupted him. "Where has she gone now?"

"Laboratory." "She went to the lab, because Miss Daubers was supposed to be there." ”

"Why didn't she just ...... Well, Nancy didn't know that we were going to see off Yi Shui on the dock today, so she couldn't have informed us sooner. What the hell! Rachel whispered, "Of course, the bigger problem is my uncle, who ...... it."

"It's not time to look into these issues, Rachel." Qin Lang interrupted her and stopped Elizabeth's attempt to speak, "Now that Mr. and Mrs. Daubers have arrived in San Diego, we must return to our residence immediately, and it is best not to delay even a second. ”

"You're right, Qin." Elizabeth nodded, then called out to one of the guards, "Call the carriage." ”

"You and Rachel are in the same car, Elizabeth." Qin Lang continued, "I'm in Mr. Fisborne's carriage. Since he has something to report to me, and I'm leaving San Diego for the East tomorrow, I want to get that done now. ”

Both Rachel and Elizabeth knew about the Japanese spies, and considering the current situation, her parents would definitely be very unhappy if they saw Elizabeth and Qin Lang get out of a carriage. Therefore, they did not say anything about his arrangement, and walked directly towards the approaching carriage.

Qin Lang turned to Fisborne and asked in a low voice, "That Japanese spy, what did he say?" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
