Chapter 227: Celence's Memoirs (5)
"How do I know if this is a plan you discussed with that rebel to deal with me?"
"Do you think I didn't foresee that in the near future, that bastard would no longer need an orphan adopted by his ex-wife?"
"Over time, when he takes control of the Ruttingbeck family, you'll be useless."
"Tell me, then, that once the day comes when the family falls into his clutches," I asked softly, leaning my face down to the old man, "you don't want to die with hatred, do you?" ”
The old man turned around with difficulty, just looked at me, and nodded to me with great difficulty.
"Very good, it looks like we've got a consensus. So now, what I need most is the black ledger you hidden. An old man in his old age could not pose a threat to anyone. Give it to me and I'll put it to good use......"
“…… Why should I trust an adopted orphan? Maybe you'll ruin our family! Or, if you lie to me......"
"It's all the same, why don't you try? In time, if you want to take revenge again, you may have to work harder and do a lot of unnecessary things, which are much more important than the safety of your life and mine. And you think about it, no matter what, you're not going to have a chance to survive anymore, are you? ”
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "You want to kill him with your own hands?" ”
"The killer doesn't have to kill himself."
There was a long silence in the room, until it was broken by a strange gurgling sound.
"How about you do it now?" There was a strong sneer in the old man's voice, "Or wait a little longer, and when I've figured out my epitaph, you can do it again?" ”
"Right now," I said with a smile, "but I haven't gotten what I wanted." ”
"If you're determined to take revenge on Sylwig at all costs," Snape interrupted crudely, "why do you have to dwell on this solution?" Is there no other way? ”
"A lot of people's souls haven't fallen enough to be a stepping stone to revenge," I looked at him gravely, "isn't it?" ”
"In other words, your soul and I have fallen to that point, right?"
"It's no secret that our souls are rotten and in tatters, you know very well," I retorted calmly, "and besides, we are not religious. In this way, we don't have even the most ridiculous and hypocritical way of liberation in the human world, do we? ”
The old man looked at my face and was speechless for a moment.
"Personally, I think it's a good thing to help someone who is desperate to relieve his suffering," I pleaded in a low tone, "I beg you to do me this favor, my grandfather." Because you're dead, just like Cypress is sure to win the World Cup this year. You can die a painful death, but now, we're not supposed to be enemies, are we? ”
My voice was a little brisk, and a pair of red eyes stared straight at the old man in the hospital bed, as if we were discussing whether we could go out for a walk.
In the end, the old man nodded reluctantly.
My lips moved slightly, and I heard the other person add after he had finished saying what I wanted to know:
"I wish you were my own granddaughter."
Hearing this, I paused, who had already walked to the door. Finally, the doctor was notified to replace the "euthanasia" and inject him with neurotoxin.
The scene in the hospital room is now gone. I walked in the morning light with my "father" and watched the children frolicking in the open space in front of the castle.
"What did you all talk about? The doctor said, you were talking all night yesterday. "Father" asked suddenly, looking tired.
'Why did you put bugs in your room?' Father, you promised to trust me. ”
"I've explained that it's just the personal actions of the executor, and I still trust you in essence. What did you talk to him about? ”
"As you instructed, my grandfather and I discussed the principle of knowing the times as a handsome, and I also told him that you won't tell him too much about this truth, although he is my grandfather."
"Grandpa...... "Father" kept repeating the word, and then shook his head again, "No...... He doesn't think I'm his son. ”
Unfortunately, I can't seem to answer her.
"Why are you sending someone to spy on me?"
"I don't think you should put all your eggs in the same basket, especially not in a basket that grew up with lies and betrayals."
"You promised to trust me absolutely."
"Yes, and you're doing a great job. Don't think I'm underestimating what you've done for me, my little Cyrus. From the mouth of that old man, I have no one to trust but you can do it. ”
But I think you're probably more trusting than I am in the chicks who only have a foxy face left. Because they obey your commands, and never refuse any of your blasphemous requests!
"I've always believed in you, father," I said, smiling, "and I've made him understand a little in my conversation with Grandpa. His mouth has been pried open and I've gotten what we wanted. ”
"I mean, you've got ......"
"I know, you picked it up yesterday in the bug, but unfortunately, that black USB stick is with me right now."
"What? I remember you went to a café once, but the taxi you took was faster than a mercenary's helicopter! ”
"These are two different things. For you and your observers, it's a matter of distance; But for me, it's just a matter of IQ. ”
We looked around together and made sure it was just the two of us. We've come to the edge of the family domain, and we don't notice anyone eavesdropping.
"It can't be. The USB flash drive should be in the ......"
"But I guess no one told you that the old man was playing us dumb riddles, right?" I looked at "Father" with a smile, at the face that had grown fat over the years, with a real rage, "What do you think is the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus?" Then you'd be wrong, but in the Syrian restaurant downstairs from the hospital, right below the third landscape photo from the left. ”
"Father" seemed to be about to say something, I smiled and shook my finger, my face darkened, I stretched my head out, and whispered close to his ear:
"Have you forgotten your promise? If you want to get the reward for that USB flash drive, it's 300 million US dollars, right? ”
"Father" frowned at me, making an expression that was both angry and reluctant.
But it's no wonder. The little kitten who once listened to the plan and was obedient to the plan, even talked about the conditions in a decent way, and everyone would not be able to adapt to it, right?
The outcome of the confrontation ended in my victory. "Father" faced the sky, sighed and said:
"Come to my office at eleven o'clock tonight, my little Cyrus. Trust me, as your 'father', I never lie to you......"
I showed up in a gorgeous room. Through the cracks in the heavy Francis curtains, a glimmer of moonlight seeped in, but darkness still reigned in the place. A girl of my age sat quietly on the side, and I sat quietly facing her. But she was kneeling on the velvet bed in the middle, while I was now calmly sipping the black tea, smiling and sitting on the velvet chair opposite.
"Now...... Do you believe what I say? Until the last moment, when it is not necessary, the hunter should not act rashly, otherwise how can he catch the prey and not be devoured by the prey? ”
“…… So, what do you want to say? ”
