2. Wrist (upper)
In the early hours of 17 September, at 0:30 a.m., Mr. Snell woke up.
After falling asleep for more than ten days, Mr. Snell was awakened by Zheng Shurong using the word "spirit" in Zhumen.
He seemed accustomed to this half-asleep state, and although his stomach had been operated on for two surgeries and only a pitiful little function remained, he had a hearty and simple meal in the company of Mrs. Snell and Zhu Tong.
"What about Anthony? And Mr. Ning, I didn't see them" At 1:20 a.m., Mr. Snell finally began to ask questions.
After eating a little fruit and salad and drinking a small half glass of champagne, Mr. Snell was supported by Mrs. Snell for a walk in the hanging garden on the eighteenth floor of Wanghai Hospital.
He was a very proximistic man, who slept naked and strongly demanded that the nurse dress him in a crisp suit before eating. At the suggestion of Zhu Tong, he wore this set of expensive and loose casual clothes.
If you ignore the eight golden needles on his head, most people can't see that the flame of his life could be extinguished at any time.
Mrs. Snell knew in advance that Zhu Tong would wake up Snell, so she deliberately changed into a set of silver-gray silk bandeau dresses, revealing half of her white and greasy shoulders on the right, and a simple dark pattern decoration spiraled up from the back of the waist, and turned into a rose on the chest, especially emphasizing her S-shaped graceful figure and plump chest line.
Mr. Snell did not seem to be attracted to the delicate lady, and wrinkled tightly, and seemed very dissatisfied with everything around him.
"Mike, you've just woken up, and those unpleasant things ......," said Mrs. Snell, glancing at Zhu Tong and plucking up her courage.
But her words were unceremoniously interrupted, and Mr. Snell stopped, staring at her with cloudy and attentive eyes, and said, "Tell me, what happened." β
"Mr. Snell, do you really want to know?" Zhu Tong spoke; "...... in your current state"
"I'm in good shape, I'm in bad health, so I had to come to Shanghai. However, I have a very strong soul. Mr. Snell swung his fist twice, a gesture that clearly did not express the emotion in his heart.
What he said makes sense, most people will feel in a trance after falling asleep for more than ten days; And Mr. Snell made it through in a very short time.
Zhu Tong looked at the direction of the elevator and said, "If you insist, of course you can." But I don't think it is fitting for me or Mrs. Snell to explain to you why Mr. Anthony and the Winterless are not there. Fortunately, Lord Hamilton is on his way, and your dear cousin, Mr. van Gaast, is also there, and I have informed them. β
"Vance is here, it's good to be here." Mr. Snell nodded, and began to stroll along the side again. He understood something, but didn't ask again.
After walking more than a dozen steps, he stopped and asked Zhu Tong: "This time, how many days did I sleep?" β
"Thirteen days."
"It's been too long, it's been too long! Thirteen days, the number representing doom...... Mr. Lee, please tell me, how much time do I have left? β
"Three hours, four hours at most."
"Not this."
"If you were to ask if your life would continue, I'm sorry, I can't give a definite answer. However, I don't think you have to worry about that while you're in Shanghai. β
"I like confident people. Mr. Lee, I appreciate your confidence. Mr. Snell smiled with satisfaction, and asked Mrs. Snell again;" What time is it, my dear? β
"1:233:50 a.m." Mrs. Snell glanced quickly at the watch on her wrist and told the exact time.
"It's a shame that I haven't shown up for too long, maybe I can make a few phone calls......" Mr. Snell looked into the void and said in a low plan.
"In fact, if you want to be seen by the outside world, you have a better choice. Now, there are reporters from two media outlets in the building, and they are always available to you. "Zhu Tong Dao;" Mr. Ning has a safe deposit box in a bank in the United States, and I need the contents for your health. β
"What's in there?"
"The most important thing is a book."
"Knowledge is the most valuable asset, and you will get it." Mr. Snell nodded, and said in the affirmative. And he said, "That...... Let them prepare, three o'clock should be the right time. I think a garden is pretty good, especially the rockery, which is very suitable for the background. May I? β
"Of course."
"Thank you, Mr. Lee."
Snell chose the eighteenth floor for the press conference to let the outside world know that he was still alive, and it didn't matter which media he went through, and for him, a high-profile figure, it was simply not worth bothering about such an issue.
For Snell's stroll, a two-metre-wide and thirty-metre-long passage was deliberately laid on the east side of the Hanging Gardens with a soft, short-haired Persian carpet. Two sturdy male nurses also carried a roll of carpet and paved the way for Mr. Snell at any time, as he wished.
Five minutes later, Lord Hamilton and Mr. Van Gaast arrived.
It's not that they are contemptuous, Zhu Tong saw that Mr. Snell had finished his meal before sending someone to wake them up from their sleep, and it was quite good to be able to come so quickly.
Mr. Snell's body did not allow him to stand for long periods of time.
In the corner of the Sky Garden, Snell sat halfway on the couch that the waiter had just brought up, listening to the reports of Lord Hamilton and Mr. Van Gaast.
In the middle of the sky garden, there is a stone rockery of Taihu Lake, the gurgling spring flows gently, although it is artificial, but there is a bit of natural interest.
Mrs. Snell plucked a purple orchid from the side of the rockery and inserted it in the buttonhole on her chest: "I didn't expect such a surprising world in this cold building, Mr. Li has a blue heart." β
"My heart is red." Zhu Tong glanced at Mr. Snell; "Madame, the Lord is leaving, is he?"
"How do you know?" Mrs. Snell looked at Zhu Tong in surprise.
"So, I guessed right." The corners of Zhu Tong's lips were covered with laugh lines.
"The Lord has some financial issues to deal with, and things are sudden. He had wanted to wait until Mr. Snell was discharged from the hospital. Mrs. Snell suddenly looked a little lonely, looking at a delicate orchid, not knowing what to think.
Zhu Tong was also looking at the orchid, thinking about how to see Lord Hamilton off.
Jares died, indicating that the study's operation had failed completely, and Zhu Tong had been wondering who was the one who placed the order for the study. For this purpose, he had to turn to Wang Wenyuan for help and briefly introduce him to the situation of his interaction with the object of suspicion in his heart.
Wang Wenyuan believes that Lord Hamilton and that Dr. Hue are the most suspicious, and of course, there is also the Mrs. Wilson who suddenly popped up.
Mrs. Wilson was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday, and Zhu Tong didn't think she was the one behind it. The Wilson family has a long history, and although it is now in decline, it is likely that they are eligible to place orders with the study. She should just use the family's deep heritage to place orders for others.
In the past two days, Zhu Tong has been very enthusiastic about Lord Hamilton, often inviting him to the office to chat, and always calling him at dinner.
Hearing the news that Mrs. Snell confirmed that he was leaving, Zhu Tong was sure that that person was Lord Hamilton.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not appropriate to do anything.
Mr. Snell's illness still needs to be treated, Yin Shifeng will only come back the day after tomorrow, and the effect of the Dragon Tiger Pill is still unknown. He and Ye'er are going to get married next month, and it's really not the time for branches.
Lord Hamilton knew that Zhu Tong's counterattack was something he couldn't bear, and he didn't know that Zhu Tong was also in trouble now.
Maybe for the sake of him being so knowledgeable and feeling that he was seen through and left, this matter can only be like this. I wish the child to think.
"Mr. Li, can I trust you?" Mrs. Snell suddenly grabbed Zhu Tong's hand and said in a low voice.
She was nervous, and her words were rapid, and she kept glancing at Mr. Snell.
"This question...... Caution is required. Zhu Tong gently broke free, stroked the verdant leaves of the orchid, and groaned.
Roughly, he could guess what the beauty was going to say to himself. The guy named Bony, Mike. It's time for Mr. Snell's second son to appear. Lord Hamilton had always taken care of him before, so in Mrs. Snell's heart, there was a natural sense of trust and affection for the Lord. The Lord's departure removed a major pillar of her heart.
He couldn't be sure now if that Bony had anything to do with the assassination against him,
"If we can get your help, we can pay any price!" Mrs. Snell thought that Zhu Tong's "prudence" was to want benefits, and said eagerly.
"You ......," Zhu Tong narrowed his eyes.
"Me and Bonie." Mrs. Snell's eyebrows rose a bright red; "For him, for our future, I can promise anything. Even if it's ......"
Her slender and tender white fingers plucked the blue orchid from her chest, reached down with her arms, lifted Zhu Tong's shirt, and inserted the orchid into the belt around Zhu Tong's waist in a very elegant manner. Then, look at him with affection.
"Oh, ma'am, are you ...... Cute. Zhu Tong was shocked.
He took the orchid, gently pinned it back to Mrs. Snell's chest, gently brushed it on the bulge of thin silk, and said with a smile: "Now is not the right time, tomorrow afternoon, come to afternoon tea." β
Mrs. Snell shook slightly, raised her head and glanced at him seductively: "I have a hunch that it will be a wonderful afternoon, and I am looking forward to it." β
Zhu Tong smiled bitterly, not knowing what image he was in the eyes of the other party.
He felt a little pity for this poor woman, although she was in a wealthy family, she could only use her body as a bargaining chip in exchange for Zhu Tong's cooperation.
At the same time, I can't understand why the noble and self-controlled Mrs. Snell would make such a decision, and she can pay such a big price for her lover. Maybe it's the cultural difference between the East and the West, what seems incredible to him may not be anything in the eyes of others.
"Madam, Mr. Lee, Mr. Snell, please come over." Van Gaast came over.
Mrs. Snell groomed herself and walked towards Mr. Snell with as dignified a step as possible.
Mr. Snell stretched out his arms from afar: "Thank you, madam, for everything you have done for me. β
Mrs. Snell leaned down and gave him two kisses on the cheek: "Honey, anyone would do that at that time. β
"You're not anyone. I've already told Vance to ask a Rogge designer to visit you next week. They will bring at least three sets of the latest jewelry, one of which will be yours. Mr. Snell asked her to sit in the corner of the sofa, looked at Zhu Tong with his soft waist and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li." At this time last year, the research center was fortunate to invite an old gentleman, who is also a Chinese medicine practitioner. He once warned me that there was a big hidden danger in Mr. Ning's treatment. Drink poison to quench thirst...... Yes, that's what he said. But at that time, I trusted Mr. Ning, and Anthony thought he was alarmist. In May, I wanted to listen to him again, but unfortunately, he passed away because of a terrible traffic accident. β
Snell's fragile lungs were not enough to provide enough breath and he had to stop to catch his breath.
"I can't guarantee anything." The other party obviously had something to say, and Zhu Tong didn't feel very good.
Snell waited for his breathing to calm down a bit, and glanced up at Van Gaast.
The latter bowed slightly and said, "I'm going to prepare for the press conference, madam, you are more familiar with those two beautiful angels, can you come and ask me to help?" β
"I'd love to." Mrs. Snell got up and took Van Gaast's outstretched arm and walked away.
The female anchor and Shazi filmed the whole scene of Zheng Shurong waking up Mr. Snell, and also expected that there might be a press conference, and Mrs. Snell was not needed at all. Snell, there must be something to say to Zhu Tong or Lord Hamilton.
"The Lord told me that you suffered a shameful murder not long ago." Snell watched their backs disappear before speaking slowly; "I regret that you will be compensated appropriately. Also, I think, that person is in the midst of us. β
The smile on Lord Hamilton's face froze instantly, and there were only three people present: him, "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" and Mr. Snell. It is impossible for Zhu Tong to pay for his assassination, and Mr. Snell needs the treatment of "Divine Doctor Li Xiang", which obviously refers to him.
"You're kidding." Lord Hamilton said stiffly.
"yes, I'm kidding. My dear Lord, Madame and I believe in you, we have known each other for thirty years. You just said you booked a ticket for tomorrow morning. Good luck with your journey. Mr. Snell smiled.
The joke was not funny at all, and Zhu Tong thought that Mr. Snell had not been sure that Hamilton was the one who placed the order before saying this.
Now...... The so-called ghost in his heart is afraid of thunder, and Lord Hamilton's reaction is really too bad, completely exposing himself to the sun.
Zhu Tong couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart! Mike. Snell's tone was flat and formal, but even a fool could hear the sarcasm in it, and every word of the sentence had a hidden mystery. Snell, sure enough, is a powerful guy who swears people without dirty words, kills without seeing blood, and eats people without spitting out bones!
