"Still haven't come!"

I carefully flipped through the newspaper report "Murder at the King's Hotel" and looked at the date on it.

It's been almost a month!

Thinking of his letter, Henry suddenly began to regret it. Remembering the short text message I wrote that day, I sent it out. The content of the letter is very simple.

It's just that he invited Chen Moran to come and sit here at his convenience, but he used a note from the King Hotel.

Henry was even a little annoyed that he hadn't been able to calm down at the time, since he read in the newspaper about British Lieutenant Jeffer? After Rhys was murdered at the King's Hotel, he became suspicious of Jeffer? Reese's death has something to do with Chen Moran.

Henry clearly knew that it was he who put Jeffer? Rhy's identity told Chen Moran that when he saw the news in the report, he almost didn't jump, not angry, but excited. For the sake of "Yongle Canon", he actually killed Jeff? Rees, is there anyone more stupid than him?

Grab the handle of a rich man! Just thinking about it can make people excited for a while. That day, when he decided that Jeffer? After Rees died at the hands of Chen Moran, he even saw that Chen Moran completely collapsed under his questioning, and then knelt in front of him, begging him bitterly, begging him to let him go, and then what? He will be generous enough to let him go, and then slowly squeeze out his wealth.

But now?

Chen Moran not only didn't kneel down and beg for mercy as he imagined, but he didn't even pay attention to himself. In a month, the lame man simply took him, Henry? Macaulay, the founder of Macaulay & Co., a decent tycoon in the Shanghai Public Concession, was ignored!

The feeling of being ignored is indeed unpleasant, but the most unpleasant thing is that the cripple completely shatters his illusions.

“…… Everyone invited him, but he didn't go to anyone! ”

What the?

Henry's debriefing startled Henry, and he looked up at Owen standing there in surprise.

"Owen, you're saying that the cripple didn't buy anyone's account?"

"Yes! Including Sassoon has also invited him"

Owen, who was standing in front of the Taipan, replied respectfully, and when he answered, Owen couldn't help but sigh in his heart about that person's shelf, and the people who invited him were all decent people in the Shanghai Concession, but he didn't buy anyone's account. This person is really a little too arrogant, if Owen knew why Chen Moran didn't go, I'm afraid he wouldn't think so.

Owen's answer made Henry feel more comfortable, but why did he refuse everyone?

"Other than that, didn't he do anything?"

Under the forced gaze of Taipan, Owen continued to speak.

"Sir, according to the information I have found, he bought a piece of wasteland in Pudong, and he is also setting up a construction company, and even recruited more than 1,000 construction workers, and even trained those construction workers, and now his construction company is recruiting engineers and technicians, and the other one, just this morning, the northwest corner of Chen's Garden began to build an orphanage! The rest didn't do much. ”

How to train the workers, Henry didn't care, but when he heard about the orphanage, he hurriedly asked.

"What, Cripple Chen runs an orphanage in his own garden?"

"Yes, sir!" Owen replied in the affirmative, then continued with a slight pause.

"Personally, I think that he just ran an orphanage to gain fame! Just to change his reputation, I found a news that he had visited Sheng Xuanhuai, and I personally thought that maybe he wanted to spend money to donate an official position like many Chinese businessmen. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's a fame or not! Or maybe something else, now at least I can be sure of one thing! ”

As if hearing something from Owen's report, Henry raised his nose mirror and waved his hand at Owen, with a slight annoyance between his eyebrows.

"Owen, at least now it can be proven that Chen Moran is far richer than I thought at the beginning, isn't it?"

Without waiting for Owen to speak again, Henry suddenly pointed at him.

"Yes, sir!"

Owen nodded in affirmation.

"Last month, I met Chen Moran in the restaurant without any opinion! He seems to be waiting for someone in a restaurant, waiting for a woman! I think you know this person, sir! It's Miss Catherine of Huisheng! ”

As the associate manager of the foreign company, Owen will take care of anyone his boss is interested in, and because of this, he will remember what he saw that day, and he has been thinking about the connection between the two for some time.

"Oh? It was that day! ”

"March ......"

Without waiting for Owen to finish speaking, Henry couldn't help but put his hands on his stomach and laughed with his face up.

"I get it, I finally get it! That damned group of Jews was planted in the hands of his cripple from the beginning, from the Palatial Manor, to the Huisheng Bank, this lame man not only played Charlie, but also Sassoon and all of them! ”

At this point, Henry finally understood what he didn't understand, why did the woman Ji Li show up at the auction with Chen's cripple arm that day, and Owen said that after he met Catherine, Henry finally understood everything.

"At the behest of Sassoon, no one in Shanghai dared to lend Catherine money, except for the greedy Charlie, but Catherine got a huge sum of money on April 1, and the whole of Shanghai didn't know where she got it! Unexpected! Didn't expect ......"

Perhaps because he was so excited, Henry only raised his hand and waved it at his head, and praised God there.

"Hallelujah!"

And then he even reverently recites a proverb from the Bible.

"My son, do not walk with them, forbid your feet to walk in their way, for their feet run and do evil, and they shed blood with great speed, like birds, and do not flee from their snares. These people are lying in ambush to shed their own blood, and they are crouching to harm their own lives. The same is true to all those who love riches, so are their ways. This covetousness takes the life of the rich. ”

Owen, who was taken aback by Taipan's behavior, didn't understand the meaning of this proverb at all, and after hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but look at Henry a few more times, if people who don't know, I'm afraid they will think how holy he is, but what about the facts? However, he vaguely knew why Taipan was so out of shape, he hated the Jews who ruled Shanghai, and when Huisheng survived the run, he even brought red wine to visit Sassoon, it was Sassoon's greedy snake who wanted to swallow Huisheng and Huisheng's treasury warrants.

But Owen believes that Henry's gaffe was not just because someone had sabotaged Sassoon's plans, but that his gaffes often had ulterior motives behind them.

"He needs our help for such a charitable undertaking as orphans, doesn't he? Okay, Owen, you go and prepare now, I'm going to send a gift to Chen Moran, I think maybe we should mend the relationship in the past now. ”

"Sir, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, if that's right, he should have taken a boat to Nanking two hours ago!"

"Went to Nanjing? Oh! That's right! ”

Henry, who was smiling, muttered softly, and his face did not show anything unusual. In just an instant, he already understood how to use it all for his own benefit.

"Well, let's go to Mr. Sassoon! I think Mr. Sassoon will be very happy today! ”

This will make Henry forget his proverb that "greed takes the life of the rich", maybe Sassoon is the king cobra of Shanghai, but what about him Henry? At least a viper!
