The disaster that occurred on May 11, 1966 was known to Americans as "Scarlet Wednesday".

Within a single day, the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Housing Deeds Exchange collapsed, and the once high prices soared, and the nightmare of 1942 returned to New York.

No, the stock market crash of 1942 was even more terrible.

Some Americans who experienced the last stock market crash, went bankrupt again, and knew that there was no miracle happening, chose to end their lives in the form of suicide.

On that night alone, there were 129 suicides, and police cars and ambulances continued to whistle throughout the night. What's more, after losing all his belongings, he resorted to violent means to vent his serious dissatisfaction.

It was under such circumstances that Xie Lisa returned to the ......

Numbness and remorse filled her heart, and she knew that she was finished, this time completely. The loan sharks would soon enter her home and force her to pay back the money she couldn't pay back at all. will even implicate his lovely daughter Alice because of this......

"Hello Lisa." Murray appeared in front of her.

"Hello, Mr. Murray." Xie Lisha, who was taking out the key and preparing to open the door, said stubbornly.

"I saw some bad news on TV today." Murray was not prepared to hide anything: "Everything is falling apart, but these things have nothing to do with me, the only thing I care about is my rent." Ma'am, you promised me that I would pay me rent tomorrow. Will you be able to do it? If I don't see my money tomorrow, I'll have to ask you to get out of here. ”

This is the Americans, the numb and indifferent Americans. In their minds, their own interests are more important than anything else...... Xie Lisa smiled reluctantly, "I think I'll give it to you, Mr. Murray, don't worry." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait until tomorrow." Before Mr. Murray was about to close the door, he suddenly added, "Ah, if a loan shark comes, please don't damage anything in the house." Otherwise, I have to ask you for compensation. ”

As soon as she walked into her home, Xie Lisa closed the door tightly. She wanted to cry loudly, but in front of her daughter, she had to hold back.

"Alice, do you need anything else to eat?"

"Nope. Mom. Mr. Moyol invited me to eat a lot today, and lo and behold, I can't eat at all. Alice said sensibly.

"Well, then, let's sleep."

"Do I still need to wake up early tomorrow?"

"No, you don't have to get up early in the future." Holding back tears, Xie Lisa sent Alice to her own bed, kissed her daughter on the forehead, and walked back to her room.

She sat there dumbfounded. She hadn't done anything for a long time, and she felt like her mind was blank......

After a while. She found a pen and paper and wrote on it:

"Hello, dear Monsieur Moyol, I take the liberty of writing this letter to you...... I regret not listening to you, and therefore I am bankrupt, and I now have nothing but my daughter, and those usurers will soon appear before me and take away the only thing I have, my dear daughter Alice...... I couldn't bear the pain of losing Alice, and it was even harder for me to imagine the catastrophe she might have in the future...... Merciful Monsieur Moyol, I beseech you, take Alice away, give her a way to live, and let her grow up healthy and happy. I can't give you anything in return, the only thing I can do is pray silently for you in heaven...... Ah no, I think I'm going to hell for everything I do...... Kind Mr. Moyol, this is the last request of a dying man, I can't find anyone willing to help me, the only thing I can think of is you, can you grant my request? ”

She carefully packed the letterhead, wrote on the envelope, "Received by Monsieur Moyol," and then took out a second piece of letterhead:

"My dear daughter Alice, when you read this letter, I have left you forever...... I'm not a proper mother, greed blinded me and made me lose everything, even, about to lose you. And you are my most precious treasure. I thought about it for a long time, and I can only say that you have asked Mr. Moyol to ask him, and if Mr. Moyol is not willing to take you in, then leave New York, leave here far away, and never return to this terrible city again...... Remember, your mother will always love you, and you must not be as greedy as I am......"

The envelope of the letter reads "To Alice who has grown up".

Shelisa's third letter was addressed to Mr. Murray:

"Mr. Murray, I'm sorry I can't give you rent, but don't worry, Mr. Moyol will give it to you, my lovely daughter Alice knows where to find Mr. Moyol...... I regret not listening to you, ah, the same Mr. Moyol has said to me, you are all wise men, but I am a fool, a foolish man, who is not worthy to live in this world...... For my sake, please be sure to bring Alice to Monsieur Moyol, and he will give you the ...... I owe you"

When the letter was finished, Xie Lisha breathed a long sigh of relief, she felt that she had done what she had to do, and at this moment, she felt relieved.

She placed the three letters on the table one by one, and pushed open the window.

A cold wind of the night blew on her face, making Xie Lisha shiver. Looking down from the window, New York may still be the familiar New York, but at this moment, it has become so strange in Xie Lisha's eyes.

She sighed, then jumped out of the window......

The moment she left the window, the phone rang in the living room......

．．．．．．

"Mr. Moyol, no one answered the phone at Xie Lisha's home." Kasanovic put down the phone and said.

Wang Weiyi nodded: "Send someone to her house, I'm worried that she will do something stupid." She does not deserve sympathy. But her daughter Alice is innocent. ”

"Yes, I'll send someone to do it right away."

Wang Weiyi gave Xie Lisha a chance again, if Xie Lisha could jump off the building even a second late. Things will change for the better, too. However, many things can never be if, and the wrong things that have been forged can never be undone......

And this is the ultimate fate of poor Xie Lisa......

．．．．．．

Sherissa died, but Elijah had absolutely no such courage.

He is about to lose everything he and his father have, and if there is no change in the stock market tomorrow, then the worst thing will happen.

He was not willing to accept such an outcome. He gulped down glass after glass of wine, trying to find anything that could be reversed.

But what could he do?

The news of the collapse of New York's two major markets was constantly on the television. This made Ilya feel even more upset...... He wanted to shut up all the guys on TV.

The phone rang, and Ilya picked it up angrily, and was about to reprimand him harshly, but when he heard it was Mr. Eliot's voice. His anger vanished without a trace.

"Your Excellency the Marquis of Ilya. Again, I would like to remind you that if you are not able to pay the ransom before the time of the loan, then all your collateral will go to the Wittgenstein Group. Ah, and also, I'm representing Gates. Mr. Morgan reminds you that your loan to Morgan Bank is also coming due. You learned that Morgan Bank does not want any dead and bad debts, and Mr. Morgan will be very unhappy because of this...... All right. That's all I have to say, and I wish you a good night's sleep. ”

The phone was hung up. Ilya looked at the phone in a daze, suddenly pulled out the phone violently, and then slammed it to the ground.

Villains, these villains who fell into the well! If they were in Russia, they would all be arrested and thrown into prison by themselves!

He swore that he would never admit defeat, and that he would try his best to save everything he had lost.

Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow there will be a miracle......

．．．．．．

Those who are just as lucky as Ilya are also waiting for an ethereal miracle......

When the opening bell rang, everything was the same as yesterday.

The price is still falling like a dive, and if it continues like this, the securities in their hands will become a pile of waste paper.

No, it's now a pile of waste paper! Even worse than waste paper!

Wanting to cry without tears, this is the mood of these American speculators at this moment.

The White House has already made a statement about the incident that they will not interfere with the normal operation of any market, which has also deprived these speculators of the last glimmer of hope that they are still waiting for......

"Do you see those people, Alice?" Wang Weiyi pointed to the group of all kinds of people: "Why are they like this?" Because they are blinded by greed, and when things are completely different from what they think, they are completely disappointed, and I don't want you to grow up to be like them, and your mother doesn't want you to be like that......"

"I know, Mr. Moyol." Alice looked up, "Where did Mom go?" Is Mom dead? ”

Wang Weiyi's heart was a little sour: "No, your mother didn't die, she just went far, far away." ”

"Mr. Moyol, you lied to me, I know that my mother is dead." Alice finally began to sob: "This is what Mr. Murray told me. ”

Wang Weiyi shook Alice's hand: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have deceived you." Yes, your mom has left you, and I don't want this to be a shadow for the rest of your life. I can promise you that I will take good care of you, just like my own daughter. ”

Alice's tears ran down her cheeks......

Wang Weiyi vowed that he would take Alice with him and take care of her as she grew up, so that she would have a happier childhood than everyone else, and he would never make the same mistake as William again.

She is all Alice's hope, but why is Alice not her own hope?

Bursts of wails rang out in the New York Housing Deeds Exchange. Before the lunch break, those deeds fell to the bottom again.

There is no hope, and the last glimmer of hope from now on has finally been shattered......

Wang Weiyi left here calmly. Closely following him was Alice.

On May 12, 1966, the disaster continued to play out in New York, whether it was the housing contract market or the stock market, prices were collapsing all the way, and everyone was plunged into the darkness of endless despair.

At noon, even the nearby restaurants, which were always full, became deserted.

Only the victors are in a good mood to dine here.

Wang Weiyi and his allies touched their glasses. Celebrate the victory they have come.

Before the lunch break, the stock price fell to a terrible position, and someone went bankrupt. Someone went crazy, and someone shot themselves in front of everyone.

"Remember what I said, Mr. Kasanovich?" Wang Weiyi said lightly: "I said, you will get rich." The profits are far greater than what you're running. Yes. The house deeds you took out to make you a huge profit can now be redeemed for a price so low that you can't even believe it. ”

Kasanovich's face was glowing with joy, and if it weren't for the fact that so many people were around him, he would even be cheering out loud here......

Yes, His Excellency did not deceive himself, he did everything he promised. The "business" that Kasanovic was engaged in, although it was also very profitable, was not worth mentioning compared to this place.

He finally knew the Tao faintly now. Why are these super-rich people around them so rich?

"As for our alliance, I think it's going well...... said," Wang Weiyi said to Gates. Morgan and Lawrence. Rockefeller glanced at it: "Since your father, we have maintained a good relationship. And today is just a continuation of yesterday. So, what do you give me in return? ”

There is nothing that cannot be said about this, and there must be a return for what you give.

Gates smiled and said: "Of course, Your Excellency, of course, we will not forget the return that should be given to you, all the things you need on your purchase list, we have already completed most of the purchases, and will be shipped to Germany as soon as possible." Although the Allied Command has discovered that someone is secretly sending supplies to Berlin and has stepped up the investigation, we still have our own methods, so please rest assured......"

Wang Weiyi nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Elliot walked in: "Your Excellency, Ilya has been brought. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "I can finally appear in front of him with my original face, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, you don't have to hide anything more."

"It's a nice feeling." Wang Weiyi said with a faint smile.

Those familiar figures are walking towards here, it is Ilya, but this marquis at this time has completely lost his previous demeanor. He was like a lost dog, and his face was pale.

He walked into the dining room, and suddenly he saw a man sitting there.

Ah, no, it can't be this man, no way! How could he be here?

It was the person his father feared the most, and it was also the person Ilya feared the most.

Ilya tried to leave the restaurant, but several of Kasanovich's men appeared beside him: "Mr. Marquis, if you want to leave, it will make the big people very unhappy." And you won't be able to get out of here alive either. ”

Ilya walked towards the man trembling......

When he came to the man, he heard something like this: "Mr. Elijah, you are a marquis, and I am only a little baron, should I bow to you?" ”

Yes, the other party is only a baron, but this baron's name is far better than that of any duke:

Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bram - Skull Baron!

"No, no." Ilya said in horror.

"Ah, then I'm relieved." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "You can also call me another name, I want to think, ah, my Russian name is Mr. Petergov." ”

In an instant, Ilya understood everything......

Petergoff—the skull baron—all of this was laid out by this terrible baron!

He knew that he had fallen into a trap and there was no way to get out, and at this moment he completely lost all hope.....

"You may be seated, Your Excellency Marquis Ilya." Wang Weiyi's tone was sarcastic: "Let me think about it, you lost all your father's property in the United States, what will your father do to you?" Ah, after all, you're his son, he wouldn't be so cruel to you, would he? ”

No, Ilya was completely unsure of her father's attitude......

What was going on in the mind of Grand Duke Belstoka was as incomprehensible as Baron Alex......

He swallowed hard......

"You have two options." Wang Weiyi's cold eyes looked at the enemy's son: "First, you can go back to Moscow and accept your father's punishment for you. Second, do what I say, and you may be able to save your life even though you have lost everything. Remember, I'm just saying that it's up to you whether or not you can live. ”

Ilya, of course, knew what choice he had to make, because his nature was the same as his father's:

Your own life is far more precious than anyone else! (To be continued......)
