Chapter 236: Do me a favor

Captain Cecil apparently enjoyed the feeling of "all eyes on you", and he smiled half-narrowed his eyes: "Miss Ashley, what do you know?" ”

Ashley didn't expect him to react like this, and her previous mental assumptions collapsed, and she immediately looked back at Jack, hoping that he would give her some ideas.

Her actions like this, not only Lian Yue saw it in her eyes, but Cecil also saw it really, the corners of her eyes drooped, and she seemed to have some ideas.

Jack nodded imperceptibly, and even the moon understood, so he walked up and grabbed her hand, patted the back of her hand, and signaled her not to be nervous.

"You, tell me about it!" Despite his kind smile, Ashley was startled by the anger in his body, and stepped back a little, hesitating.

Seeing that Captain Cecil had seized the initiative, he was not in a hurry and said, "You see, my request will not be finished for a while, or shall we go and sit down there?" ”

After that, he walked to the gazebo in the courtyard by himself, found a sofa chair that looked the most comfortable, sat down, looked up at her, patted an empty seat beside him, and motioned for the other party to sit down as well.

I have to say that he can be one of the star thief leaders of Endless City, he undoubtedly has two brushes, and the rhythm of the whole conversation is completely controlled by him.

Ashley walked over suspiciously, and sat down in the seat furthest from him.

Seeing Jack and Lian Yue silently following behind him, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Ashley, you don't have to be nervous, I asked you to come, just to think of a favor from you."

Captain Cecil looked very relaxed, and seemed to think of himself as the master of the place. Behind him, Defoe consciously took out a cup of tea from the space button and poured a cup for each of them.

He made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Ashley to drink tea.

Lian Yue looked at his actions behind him, and always felt that his intentions were not simple.

Although Ashley was a little stunned, she still took the teacup, put it aside, but did not drink it.

Captain Cecil glanced at her movements with a low brow, and did not care, but continued: "Miss Ashley, please don't get me wrong, I really just want to ask you for a favor. ”

"The grudge I had with Mr. Ferdinand 10 years ago was really not my wish, over the years, I have sent people to investigate, and I have learned that there is another secret in the matter of that year, I also want to clarify with Mr. Ferdinand, and ask you to help be a peacemaker."

Before Cecil's words fell, the three of them looked at him in unison.

Lian Yue didn't know what he said about what happened 10 years ago, but he only felt that the atmosphere was very wrong, his face was kind, as if he was amiable like Maitreya Buddha, but Lian Yue always felt weird.

Jack looked at him unabashedly, as if to discern the truth of what he had said.

"I, I probably won't be able to help you."

Ashley was a little embarrassed, she had expected many times that the other party might use force, but she didn't expect this to be the case, which she couldn't do.

Cecil had indeed anticipated her reaction, and projected his holographic screen without hesitation.

"Are you ready?"

"Okay, I'm going to make Jeremy's kid walk around today without eating!"

The scene on the screen seems to be in a small room, and the dim light obliquely illuminates a corner of the room, and two more dim figures can be seen in the shadows.

Before Lian Yue could figure out what they meant, the picture changed again.

"Who instructed you in the accident at Ferdinand's estate 8 years ago?"

What appears to be an interrogation room, with a red-haired man sitting across from him in a dejected position, the person making the voice outside the camera, indifferently questioning.

The red-haired man raised his head, his hair was messy and oily, and his red eye sockets were slightly bulging, obviously the whole mental state was not very good.

"I, I don't know what you're talking about?"

"You still want to hide it?" As he spoke, the voice seemed to play a scene from another interrogation room, and the cries in the video were extremely sharp and terrifying due to the chemical torture.

The red-haired man stared straight ahead, his expression gradually distorting in pain, and after a long time, he finally spoke, "We're just doing what we are told." ”

"Whose orders?"

"It was Master Bowlby who ordered us to do it, and we have no choice." The red-haired man seemed to have the intention of defending them.

"Tell me, how did you do that?"

The voice of torture was still cold, without a hint of expression.

"Young Master Bowlby said, saying that Young Master Marlowe is the most honored guest of the family, the leader of the next generation of the federal business community, and befriending him can ensure that his position will not be shaken."

"However, Young Master Ma Luo doesn't care about anyone, and he can't get close to him. Until, until he got the news, Young Master Marlow was invited by Mr. Rosser to attend Master Jeremy's wedding and start an important cooperation..."

The interrogation voice did not sound, and the red-haired man did not need to urge anymore, but began to babble: "So, Bowlby bought Ade, and he threatened me to encourage Master Jeremy to attack Master Marlowe. ”

Immediately after a description, Lian Yue understood the accident ten years ago.

At just 16 years old, Marlowe Ferdinand and his brother Deren Ferdinand were invited to Jeremy's wedding as Sou's representatives.

It was supposed to be a happy witness, but with the intervention of someone with a heart, Marlowe's younger brother Delenn was killed on the spot.

At this time, all the evidence points the finger at the protagonist of the wedding, Jeremy Cecil, whether it is the conflict with Marlowe caused by the accident before the wedding, or the accidental pushing and gun explosion between the two at the wedding, it is inseparable from him.

Jeremy Cecil, a man who is at a loss for both motives and facts, cannot clear his suspicions.

All of a sudden, the two families had a grudge.

The current head of the family, that is, Jeremy's father, Rosher Cecil, killed his relatives in righteousness, severed all ties with his only son, and sent him to a remote prison in the Western Star Field.

Looking at the video playing on the holographic screen, Captain Cecil seemed to recall the gloomy past, and his eyes were obscure.

Lian Yue stood in a good position, and it happened to be able to take in everyone's looks.

The people on Cecil's side looked very calm, as if they had already read the content, or they didn't dare to pay attention at all, their eyes were half-lowered, and their faces were expressionless.

Jack's gaze seemed to penetrate Captain Cecil, but it seemed to be empty, without a look.

Because of this, Ashley's reaction was the most normal one in the middle of the field, her red lips opened lightly, full of unconcealed surprise, and she subconsciously wanted to turn back, but she seemed to think of something and froze her neck.

Lian Yue didn't know what she was going to do, she just felt a little awkward.

"Miss Ashley, don't be surprised!" Cecil had long expected her to react like this, and the smile on her face was kind, "I have also investigated this fact for nearly ten years before I have some clues, but this can't change anything." ”

"I just hope, I hope that Mr. Marlowe will forgive me and let me walk in the sun again, my wife, whom I haven't seen for almost ten years."

Cecil's words were long, revealing deep concern.

After hearing this, Ashley's face did change, and it was very strange.

Lian Yue's sharp eyes glimpsed, and the corners of Jack's mouth curled slightly, as if there was a mockery.

What's going on? Isn't that right?

Of course, things are not right, because as early as ten years ago, at the time of the accident, at the wedding scene, the bride lady, who was also from a top family, withdrew from the marriage on the spot.

Now, she has already married someone else and gave birth to someone else's child.

"Heh~" He seemed to notice the strangeness in everyone's tone, and chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the wife I married on the way to exile, and I heard that she also gave birth to a son for me!" ”
