7. Gentleman (II)
In July, the people of Phoenix Old Town gradually got used to and accepted a girl who often came and went to the Chen Family Inn.
She wore an extremely ordinary dress here, with wide-brimmed eyes on the bridge of her nose, and greeted the people in front of and behind the counter, inside and outside the inn, just like the innkeeper Shaodong.
The neighbors began to think that the old couple was old and wanted to sell the inn and move elsewhere to retire, which has been a common thing in Phoenix in recent years, and it is not a big deal. The Chen Family Inn has never asked for helpers, only the old couple runs it, and it is a matter of time before it is transferred.
Uncle Chen and his wife didn't explain much, only saying that it was their daughter. Who doesn't know that Uncle Chen's daughters are all in other places, and it is said that they are living a good life, and they rarely come back during the New Year's holidays. For a girl of this age, it would be more credible to say that she was their granddaughter.
The girl was also strange that since the middle of June, she had been missing three or four days a week. I went out on Monday and came back on Thursday and Friday to help Uncle Chen and his wife cope with the relatively busy weekend. From the outside, the girl's appearance is not very good, the summer clothes are thin, and the slender waist and smooth and slender legs that cannot be covered are quite eye-catching.
At 3:10 p.m. on July 11, a luxurious station wagon drove into Phoenix City and stopped steadily beside the Hongqiao.
It is also common for a few foreigners to get off the bus. But they weren't travelers, but they opened the back door and carried down a stretcher.
There have always been inns around Hongqiao who have introduced business, and they shouted "Hello!" without waiting for the car to stop! Hello! "Surrounded it.
Seeing the stretcher and the haggard foreign man on the stretcher, I couldn't help but take a few steps back. These people are here to see a doctor, the hospital is in the county seat, and there are only a few pharmacies around Hongqiao.
The girl from the Chen Family Inn was also next to Hongqiao, she greeted her, talked to the foreigners in English, and the stretcher went with her.
Including the patient on the stretcher, the Chen Family Inn lived in six foreigners, and the girl quickly hung up a sign that was full.
At nine o'clock in the evening, a young man in simple clothes walked into the Chen Family Inn and asked with a smile: "Boss, do you have a room?" โ
"No room, let's sleep on the street." The girl was talking to Aunt Chen, and she looked up at him and said, but there was a smile in her eyes that could not be concealed.
The young man is Zhu Tong, no need to ask, the girl is Ye'er. It's just that her current appearance is still somewhat similar to the "Lin Jia Dance".
Zhu Tong followed Ye'er upstairs, Aunt Chen knew about them, and didn't ask anything, got up and closed the door of the inn.
The largest room on the second floor of the inn, Bony. Mr. Snell lay on the large bed, which was a little cramped.
Zhu Tong sat down at the head of the bed, put his left hand on Bony's pulse, smiled at Lord Hamilton who was standing on the other side of the bed, and said, "Lord has worked hard, this journey is going well." โ
Lord Hamilton waved his hand, and even said that it was not hard.
"Tell me, what happened on any given day?" Zhu Tong asked.
"I think it's very clear in this letter." Lord Hamilton pulled out a sealed envelope, which was Mr. Snell's handwritten letter.
Zhu Tong took it and pinched it, and there was not only a letter in the envelope, but also a USB drive. He didn't open it right away, but looked at Hamilton. "Sir, I want to hear from you."
Boni was assassinated in May and sent to the Snell Medical Research Center the next day. Mrs. Snell heard all the gunshots that hit the sports car, and Bony had no gunshot wounds on his body, but he had rolled down the hill and had suffered multiple blows to his body, especially his head.
Boni's wounds have been healed, but he remains unconscious. Over the past two months, Boni has undergone several tests, and the cause has long been determined: cranial congestion compressing nerves. Medical experts also gave a treatment plan, opening the skull to drain the congestion.
However, Mr. Snell did not approve of this plan, because Boney's brain was very sensitive, and he could wake up after receiving a craniotomy. Is it possible to recover completely without sequelae? The top experts only give a 30 percent success rate on these issues, and the doctors who claim to be 80 percent, 90 percent, or even 100 percent sure are no longer in Mr. Snell's consideration at all. They are gamblers who want to make a name for themselves with the help of Bonie, the billionaire heir.
Mike. Snell has said on several occasions informally that he only trusts Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Tong was a little embarrassed when he left the United States, and three hours after the flight arrived in Shanghai, the New York District Court's restraining order came into effect. Two partners at Vidaporess are in a court battle with the prosecution. In this case, it is impossible for Zhu Tong to go to the United States to treat Boni's illness.
Because of some practical factors that can only be understood, Mr. Snell could not personally send Bony to China; For some historical reasons that can only be understood, Mrs. Snell is not a suitable person.
Mr. Van Gaast, along with Robert and Snell, expressed his pleasure in taking on this important mission, as well as Anthony, who was eager to have an opportunity to mend his relationship with Mr. Zhu.
In the end, however, Mr. Snell chose a man with whom Mr. Zhu did not seem to be very happy to deal with, Lord Hamilton, Bonie's godfather.
They have been in Shanghai for a week, and after examining Boni's condition, Zheng Shurong and Ma Ba, two gold medal doctors from Wanghai Hospital, think that only Zhu Tong can be sure that he can only take action in person.
Dr. Zheng Shurong said that Mr. Zhu has no plans to return to Shanghai in the near future. Therefore, Lord Hamilton was cured and rushed to Phoenix with Boney, and Mrs. Snell specially explained that he must give Zhu Tong two boxes.
After listening to this, Zhu Tong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's strange for the Lord?" Our relationship has not been so harmonious. Why did Mr. Snell entrust you with such an important matter? If you think about it, there must be some reason why you are overlooking. What did you see in the October Manor that day? Or, is there anything strange happening around Boni? โ
Lord Hamilton was shocked and looked at Zhu Tong blankly.
A few days passed, and the door of the Chen Family Inn was not opened, and people nearby could smell the smell of boiled Chinese medicine coming from the inn.
On July 15, Bony began to respond to external stimuli; On July 17, Bony opened his eyes, his consciousness had not yet fully recovered, his gaze was empty and unnecessary; On July 19, Bony began to speak.
Lord Hamilton let out a long sigh, and his nerves, which had been tense, were completely relaxed. These days, in addition to Zhu Tong in the Chen Family Inn, he is the hardest worker. Lord Hamilton had figured out that it meant a lot to him whether Bony would wake up, and it was not for nothing that Mr. Snell asked him to escort Boney.
On 20 July, Lord Hamilton left Phoenix and returned to Shanghai. On 22 July, Lord Hamilton returned to Paris. On July 23, it was rumored that the Snell family's most promising heir, Bony Brown. The news of Mr. Snell's condition was not optimistic, and the stock of the company owned by the Snell family fell sharply.
On July 24, Mr. Snell's second son, Robert Snell. Snell arrives in London to meet his father.
The next day, Mr. Van Gaast came forward to hold a press conference, and he represented Mike Van. Mr. Snell read out a statement. This short statement was like a bombshell, instantly becoming the focus of major media attention.
Mike. Mr. Snell announced that he would deprive his second son, Robert. Snell has all rights within the Snell family, including the right to inherit property, which means that Robert is no longer a member of the Snell family except for the seemingly glorious surname Snell.
Mr. van Gaast left London for Shanghai the day after the press conference.
On July 26th, Mr. Van Gaast and Ms. Chen Yiyi, Chairman of Fuhua Shipbuilding, attended a simple but grand signing ceremony. The signing ceremony was in fulfillment of Mr. Van Gaast's promise last year to add two oil tankers to Fuhua Shipbuilding last year.
However, Mr. Van Gaast did not leave Shanghai after the signing ceremony and was admitted to Wanghai Hospital.
On July 28, the news of the chairman of the petroleum board.
The next day, the news was made official, and the chief financial officer of a multinational oil company, Pastin. Mr. Simeone travelled to London to meet with Mr. Snell. Now everyone understands, if nothing else, Chairman Oil.
August 1, Pastin. Chairman of the Board of Petroleum.
At this point, the stock market volatility triggered by Bony came to an end, and the stock price of oil experienced a rollercoaster shock. A few families are happy and a few are sad, and many people have lost a lot of money in this shock. Of course, someone must have made money.
The smell of medicine in the Chen Family Inn disappeared, the sign in front of the inn had long been taken down, and everything seemed to have returned to calm, including the girl who was called "pro-daughter" by the old couple.
There are three more dark green tents in the Maple Fairy Valley, not far from the Butterfly Cave.
The first tent was set up under the largest maple tree, and a flock of butterflies fluttered around the tent, as if guarding something important to them.
clause
The other two tents were located on the edge of the cliff that surrounded the Maple Fairy Valley, not because the owners of the tents did not want to go near the sparkling lake, but because the owners of the Maple Fairy Valley and the butterflies everywhere did not allow it.
In the early morning, the chirping of kingfishers wakes up the sleeping people.
Bony stretched out of the tent, he had been here for more than ten days, but he didn't feel tired of it in the slightest. For him, who is accustomed to the bustling city, it has to be said that it is not a big miracle.
Under the maple tree, two figures flying up and down were moving rapidly.
Bony only glanced over there, and then took a basin to the mountain spring not far away to wash. This kind of scene can happen almost at any time, he has seen too much, but he has never seen it clearly, let alone seen any doorway.
The young Taoist priest was sometimes defeated by Mr. Zhu and driven out of the maple tree. Sometimes if you knock Mr. Zhu into the lake, it means that he has won. But whether he wins or loses, it won't be long before he launches another challenge. And so on, they seemed to be immersed in this kind of technique that Bony couldn't understand.
After washing, Bony made strange movements in the open space around the tent, which was the introductory boxing technique he had learned from the young man named Cookie. Bony had learned a total of eighteen movements, and so far, he had only managed to make three of them.
That's pretty remarkable, Cookie said.
"Bang! Boom! With two sounds, a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi fell beside Boni.
He immediately jumped up, wiped the mud on his face and said, "You are fooling, that trick just now was not Shui Liudong." โ
Bony didn't understand what he was saying, and he didn't care, still practicing his "getaway" unhurriedly. He knew that today's food for the day had been settled, and since the Taoist priest had been defeated, he had to be a man for a day.
Zhu Tong came over waving a long sword: "It's really not, this move is my own swordsmanship, I call it 'Ghost Shadow', how do you feel?" โ
"Not very good. I just had to jump a little higher to get past you. The Taoist priest was Fan Xing, he held the broken purple bamboo flute in front of Zhu Tong, and said, "The last flute was also destroyed by you, I'll go find a guy to take advantage of." โ
After speaking, Fan Xing got up and left, leaving Zhu Tong standing there with a wry smile.
There is a delay, and the continuous change will start today until the end.
