Cold war!

An icy chill enveloped the restaurant in the summer morning, and this cold seemed to dispel the stuffiness of the restaurant.

Perhaps noticing the frost on the faces of the two masters, especially the young lady, the servants did not even dare to breathe, and in just a few minutes, the servants brought a rich breakfast to Catherine and Ji Li.

Catherine's breakfast is very simple, in addition to milk, bread, ham and eggs, there is also a plate of dim sum and crispy, while Ji Li's breakfast is very Chinese, fritters, porridge and some side dishes, the maids know that Miss Ji Li's tastes have changed significantly in the past few months.

Before eating, Catherine put her hands on the table and prayed to God with her eyes closed, as she had done before. And while she prayed, Ji Li still looked at her sister, she was very angry, and her sister's behavior even made her feel a little angry, and the cold war between the two sisters had been going on for two days.

After seeing in the newspaper that Chen Moran beat Charlie outside the gate of the Bund Park, and saw between the lines that it was his sister who was standing next to him at that time, he originally thought that he had forgotten about the "hateful cripple" Ji Li, and remembered the cripple who was full of musical talent, and even in her little head, the fundamental reason why he ignored her later was because of his sister.

My sister and he have known each other for a long time, and even ...... Ji Li knows that her sister is also fond of music, and maybe they may even have been lovers in the past, and her sister is also in love with him because of his music.

"I need an explanation!"

Finally, after the prayer, as soon as Catherine opened her eyes, she heard her sister's voice.

"Huh? What the? ”

My sister's pretending to be confused only made Ji Li's anger even stronger.

"You know what I'm talking about! Catherine! ”

"Don't you call me sister anymore?"

Looking at her frosty sister, Catherine's eyes were full of incredulity, is this still the sister who will always be like a little girl, saying that she will never leave her?

"Catherine, are you and him lovers?"

"Of course not!"

Ji Li's question made Catherine stunned for a moment, and while she hurriedly opened her mouth to deny it, the madness and regret of the night of drunkenness and the thrill like a storm only made Catherine's heart beat a few times, and even some organs of her body changed slightly.

Catherine's changes all fell into Ji Li's eyes, and the fleeting peach on her sister's face and the ** between her eyebrows only made Ji Li's heart ache, and sure enough, she guessed correctly, she and he were lovers.

"Catherine, you have told me that the marriage of a European and a Chinese cannot be blessed by men, and that the skin between us is like a gulf of God, which can never be crossed, but why do you ...... But you're his lover! ”

There was sadness in Ji Li's voice, her longing for love was ruined in the hands of her sister, and the reason was because her sister was his lover.

"Ji Li, my sister, I can tell you for sure that Chen Moran and I are by no means lovers!"

When answering her sister, Catherine seemed a little cramped, and the grief-stricken look in Ji Li's expression only made her feel a little heartache.

"Then you ......"

"Haven't you heard that rumor already?"

Catherine hesitated for a moment before looking at her sister, hoping to explain everything.

"I denied it, but now I can tell you that it's true! He and I only crossed paths once, and after that, we were just a partnership! ”

"Then why are you in the Bund Park! And now he's running around for his business all day long! ”

"I said I just to remind him, to remind him of the status of the Chinese, do you believe me?"

Her sister's answer only made Ji Li's eyes widen, and her eyes were full of disbelief, why did her sister remind someone so much, and now she sent him to prison.

"But the consequences of this make me feel extremely sorry, Ji Li, I am now doing everything to make up for my mistakes, this is why I care about him, not because he is my lover, but because I feel guilty!"

Looking at her sister, Ji Li hesitated to ask what she was most concerned about.

"That'...... Can you save Mo Ran? ”

"We and his subordinates are working on it, maybe soon he will be able to come out!"

"Really!"

The sound of surprise sounded in the restaurant, and the frost on Ji Li's face disappeared, and some were just full of joy.

Sipping lukewarm milk from a paper cup, Catherine looked up at her sister with a happy face, why couldn't she forget the Chinese? Didn't she know in her head that there was no possibility between Europeans and Chinese?

"Ji Li, I need you to know that for the Chinese, especially their rich people, they have more than just one wife, as long as they want to marry a few, or even more wives, do you think you will be the first!"

Sister's question made Ji Li look up at her sister, how many will she be? This was something she had never thought about, and it took a moment to wipe her forehead as if she were changing the subject.

"My head hurts a little and I ...... I just hope he gets out of prison soon! ”

Although the Koubadu Gongji Hospital on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek is in the name of Gongji, this church hospital founded by the Catholic Diocese of Jiangnan in the Tongzhi period only treats the "superior people" and the superior people are limited to "foreigners".

"Let me let that Chen cripple go! Dream! ”

An angry roar came from the ward of Reading, and the sound was so loud that the patients, nurses, and doctors in the garden who were talking looked sideways, but after knowing what the roar was coming from, most of them shrugged their shoulders with a little sympathy and helplessness.

As soon as he roared, the sharp pain in his face made Charlie take a breath of cool air, and the hatred for the lame man in his heart deepened a little.

The way he looks, but Jacob? Sassoon smiled in his heart, the lame man's hand was too heavy, Charlie's nose bone was broken, and even the tip of his crutch was pierced through the tiger's mouth on his left hand, and anyone who saw Charlie who would be beaten into a pig's head would feel some pain for this idiot.

Since the opening of Shanghai, foreigners who have been beaten so badly by the Chinese are afraid that Charlie is still the first. Before that, Charlie had become the laughing stock of the upper class of the concession, and now he was caught by a cripple and beaten up, and almost didn't lose half his life, which added a heavy stroke to his laughing stock.

Sassoon, who was sitting in the chair, just looked at Charlie with a smile on his face, and looked at him with a swollen face and a thick neck, roaring there like thunder and venting his anger.

Realizing that his gaffe had all fallen into Sassoon's eyes, Charlie suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sassoon, but I could never let that cripple go!"

"Charlie!"

Sassoon's voice was not loud, but there was an irrefutable flavor in his tone.

"It's for our common good!"

"The common good!"

"Pudong!"

Sassoon spat out two words, his eyes fixed on Charlie.

"This ...... It shouldn't affect our plans in Pudong! ”

Charlie, who was unwilling, looked a little uncertain, and he understood what Sassoon meant.

"If that cripple is sent to prison by you, then in the next two or three years, the pace of industrial companies to develop Pudong will inevitably slow down, and we have already spent tens of millions of yuan there, which is related to my interests and dozens of foreign banks, I hope you can understand this."

The words sank again, and Sassoon's eyes looked out the window.

"The reason why we Jews were able to have the wealth and status we have today after leaving Egypt under persecution and oppression is that we know how to make trade-offs and know when to bow our heads."

At this time, Sassoon turned his head to look at Charlie again.

"If you insist on sending that cripple to prison, in addition to our loss of tens of millions of yuan, we will also lose hundreds of millions of wealth, Charlie, this plan was proposed by you, and we are also involved in it, so, for our common interests, I and everyone hope that you can let that cripple go, give up the prosecution, and settle out of court with him!"

"Out-of-court settlement!"

Charlie's deformed fat face squeezed out a hint of mockery, and he stared at Sassoon, who seemed to be selfless, and he could guess that the reason why the king cobra came forward to ask him to spare the cripple might be because he had accepted their favor.

What Jews value is profit, not to mention the so-called brothers, even parents and siblings can be exchanged for it, let alone him, Charlie.

Although he was unwilling, Charlie understood that being entangled in this matter would indeed affect their plans in Pudong, once a greedy like Sassoon lost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan, and at that time he might even become their enemy, and when that cripple retaliated against people, not only would they not lend a hand, but they might even pounce hard to divide his flesh and blood.

After weighing left and right, Charlie, who was reluctant, endured the sharp pain in his head.

"I won't let him go so easily!"

When he said this, Charlie seemed to have no strength, and his body was limp and slumped on the ward.

"But I would prefer him to jump into the Huangpu River than prison!"

His words only made Sassoon nod in satisfaction.

"Charlie, you're wise!"

Then Sassoon was silent for a few more moments before he looked up.

"Indeed, it is true that you can't let that cripple go easily, and I think you deserve enough compensation!"

"Compensation!"

Charlie shook his head.

"I don't think money can make up for the insults I've suffered!"

Maybe he is very greedy, but sometimes in addition to greed, people often have self-esteem, and what Charlie feels now is that his self-esteem has been shattered by that cripple again and again, not to mention, and even stepped on a few feet.

From the Palatial Garden to Catherine, and from Catherine to the Bund Park, almost since the lame man came to Shanghai, he Charlie was repeatedly humiliated by the lame man.

"Of course!"

Nodding his head noncommittally, Sassoon looked at Charlie, who was frowning and silent, and made a suggestion.

"If you want to be compensated in addition to money, I personally think that there is nothing better than humiliating a person's self-esteem, especially a rich son like Chen Moran is often more face-saving, so humiliating his self-esteem may be the best way!"

Charlie looked at Sassoon in surprise, could it be that he already had an idea?

"But I don't know if you want to!"

Sassoon smiled mysteriously, and then said his suggestion under Charlie's questioning, maybe this matter has nothing to do with him, for the outside world, there has never been any conflict between him and Chen Moran, but only those who know the inside story know that Chen Moran had ruined his plan to swallow Huisheng Bank, and his hostility towards Chen Moran has always been buried in his heart.

At this time, he didn't mind borrowing Charlie's knife to give Chen Moran a heavy blow, he naturally didn't know much about that kind of person Sassoon, of course he knew what they cared about most, and his suggestion was to give him a fatal knife where they cared about the most.

“……”

Looking at Sassoon in surprise, Charlie's wide eyes were full of amazement and admiration, so that he couldn't speak for a long time, and it was only after nearly a minute that the two fat lips moved up and down.

"Great, Mr. Sassoon, just do as you say!"

There were no silk wall coverings in the cells of the central patrol cell, only hard concrete walls covered with injustices or heroic words. There is no king-style bed, no brocade cloth, no servants waiting for you, and no wine from France.

For Chen Moran, the only thing he has now is a 2.5 by 3 meter reinforced concrete cell, and of course, the only thing to be thankful about is that he at least doesn't need to share it with seven or even dozens of other prisoners like others.

Enduring the pungent smell of urine from another idle wooden barrel, Chen Moran was lying uncomfortably on the bed, where no one cared that he was a famous tycoon in Shanghai. To the people in this underground cell, this man in a suit and leather shoes was cared for, and although he enjoyed some privileges, he was just another person with bad luck among the crowd.

In the stench and smell of urine in the tuba next door, there were no beds, only a layer of rice, and the best place in the environment, probably against the iron bar, had always been determined by the largest and most ferocious man in the room, and now the man sitting in the corner of the railing was a young man of small size and medium height.

When the fierce and fierce men in the trumpet shouted loudly, the young man just glared, and everyone immediately stopped, and when they looked at the young man, those strong men with tattoos and fierce faces no longer dared to speak.

Enduring the pungent smell of urine and looking at the moonlight coming in through the window, Chen Moran couldn't help but sigh.

"This place is not a place for people!"

"Boss Chen, can't you sleep, can you?"

Listening to the voice, Chen Moran knew that it was Chen Zigu, who was in the temporary number, and he could be regarded as his own family, and he was a character who didn't say anything, but the fighter was very tough.

"You can't sleep!"

"You're different from me!"

Hearing this, Chen Moran shook his head.

"It's different, what's different, in this number, you and I are just prisoners!"

"Boss Chen, in the past three days, among the several groups of people who have come and gone, there are really a lot of big shots, even if you beat the foreign adult, but what can you do, not to mention that someone is outside to make money and trust relationships, and do everything possible to fish you out, even if it is not made in the end, you will not be locked up here for long!"

Chen Shigu, who was leaning on the cage, would show some sadness.

"I, I'm just a cheap life, two hundred oceans for six years, this is worth it!"

"Two hundred oceans, if you are outside, with your ruthlessness in prison, let alone two hundred oceans, I am afraid that even two thousand oceans can be earned!"

"Boss Chen, this is different, if I eat with my fists outside, then I have to bully people, and they are all hard-working people. What is there to bully, it is to rely on bullying people to mix up the dock to see, that is also to earn money for hard people, and I can't do that kind of thing. ”

His words made Chen Moran smile slightly.

"And what about here? Why can they go down! ”

"There are a few good things for the people here who can grab this position or want to grab this position!"

"That's right!"

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Moran had thoughts in his heart.

"If I really can't get out, then I'll talk to someone, put you out of the nickname, and live in my room, no matter what, there is a bed here!"

"Uh...... Thank you ......"

"Don't thank me, I also have a plan, if I really want to close my head here for a few years, even if it is a big face, I'm afraid I'm not the only one in this number, when you come over, you can also protect me This cripple is not, rest assured, I Chen Cripple will never treat people badly, in addition to letting you come to this trumpet, twenty yuan of silver every month, and there is a bonus every festival, how about it!"

Chen Moran, who has watched prison movies in later generations, naturally knows that in this kind of place, others will not care about your money, and prisons, a mixed place, always speak with hard fists, and if he is really sent to prison by Charlie, who knows if he will launch a crossover and spend money to buy murder, there is still the safety of a bodyguard here.

Chen Zigu, who was sitting in the prison and cage, heard this, and wanted to turn his head to look at it in shock, but the iron fence blocked his head, but he still asked with some uncertainty in his mouth.

"Boss Chen, you mean, let me be your bodyguard!"

"Yes! In this number, you are my bodyguard, and when I go out in the future, don't worry, I will definitely fish you out, and at that time, you will continue to follow me! ”

"Hehe, Boss Chen, you believe me, you are not afraid that I will sell you that day!"

"Will it?"

Boss Chen's rhetorical question only made Chen Zigu silent for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he replied.

"Boss Chen, if you can promise me one thing, I will sell you this life!"

"Say!"

"You swear you won't let me bully the poor!"

The request from next door almost didn't make Chen Moran bite his tongue in shock, this guy is also very interesting.

"That's it?"
