Chapter 9: I'll Be Back
The two people who are talking are very smart people, and when they are intriguing, they can talk nonsense, as if they are afraid that the other party will misunderstand that they don't know how to count words. But when it's really time to communicate, it's definitely a matter of cherishing words and not wasting a little bit of each other's time. After all, this is also a threshold, if the other party can't keep up with their own ideas, it means that they can find a way to take advantage of the next negotiations.
So when she heard Cheng Bin's question, Emily immediately realized the origin of this question, and then directly answered it in a rhetorical question.
Nuclear-powered trucks are a symbol of status and financial power in this world, not to mention ordinary people, even those at the top are unlikely to have them, this kind of thing is not something that can be bought with money, and requires a steady stream of investment to ensure attendance. Without this capital and technology, nuclear bullet trains and trucks could be turned into dirty bombs at any time to detoxify and inactivate their owners.
So when Cheng Bin saw the truck, he knew that it was easy for him to determine the identity of the owner. And that's why he came to see Emily alone.
The mayor of Maple Leaf is a descendant of the Constantine family, one of the three major families in the United Kingdom, and is likely to have a nuclear-powered truck in Maple Leaf Town. As Emily's wife, it is normal for her to be able to use it, and Cheng Bin has every reason to think that it was sent by Emily to pick up Isabel.
That is, Isabel mentioned her sister's identity too late, and if she had said it earlier, Cheng Bin might not have fled the road at all.
The problem is that after experiencing the chase, Cheng Bin has realized that something is wrong, if it is really Emily who came to pick up her sister, after seeing that the car that may be carrying her sister ran away, she can't just send a motorcycle to chase her, this heart is too big.
And that driver is even less likely to shoot when he can catch up at all. You must know that even with Cheng Bin's marksmanship, shooting in a high-speed chase on such a bad road, what can be hit is completely gambling on character, and that motorcyclist is not afraid of bursting character, and beating the boss's wife's sister beyond recognition with one shot? Could it be that he still has a name called gayman, who can glue the broken head back again?
With this suspicion, and recalling the conversation between the two people overheard on the side of the road, Cheng Bin could already judge that those people should know Isabel's two good classmates, and they might even come late at night to make an appointment with those two dead ghosts. If those two guys were in contact with Emily, what they did to Isabel would be too confusing to humans.
That's why Cheng Bin left Isabel in the car and slipped into Emily's boudoir alone, intending to make sure about it first. Of course, he didn't tell Isabel in advance that he was going to send Isabel back to Komsomolsk if Emily was going to be bad for his sister.
For some unknown reasons, Cheng Bin's impression of Komsomolsk is very good, of course, what is said here is good and does not include the part of having three children.
If Emily knew that her sister had sneaked out of Komsomolsk to come to her, she would have been able to guess who it was when she heard Cheng Bin say that someone was coming in outside.
As a result, it seems that Emily really didn't know anything about it, and when she heard Cheng Bin mention the nuclear bullet train, she immediately thought of a person surnamed Zhugashvili. In Cheng Bin's opinion, there is no way to deceive himself about this kind of thing, as long as he is willing, he can wait until dawn to find someone in the town to verify it.
"So this Mr. Zhu is the only one in this town who has a truck?" Cheng Bin said: "I have to say that we don't have enough people to admire the town elders." ”
"It's the opposite." Emily said quietly: "Of course Azer also has one, but he has already accompanied him to the royal capital." ”
Cheng Bin nodded, Mayor Constantine's name is Azeroth, and the "Aize" in Emily's mouth should be a term of endearment for Mr. Mayor. What Cheng Bin didn't expect was that when Mr. Mayor returned to New York, he actually took a car back instead of a plane, which is not a regular treatment for the descendants of a great nobleman in the new century.
"So." Emily looked at Cheng Bin and said, "Considering our upcoming guests, if you don't mind, can we go to the living room and sit?" "It's rude to have guests in the bedroom," she says. Of course, before that, I should have changed my clothes. ”
"Of course." Cheng Bin said politely: "I will go to the living room to wait for you first." At this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Emily, "Although I don't think there are any clothes that are enough to compliment your beauty. ”
Emily smiled in line with social expectations, accepted his compliment, and at the same time personally sent Cheng Bin to the bedroom door and asked the maid to take him to the living room.
Obviously, the maid was shocked by the fact that a strange man came out of the bedroom of the mistress of her house, but neither Cheng Bin nor Emily obviously had any intention of explaining.
Cheng Bin waited in the living room for about a minute, and before he could even sit down, he saw Emily appear in front of the living room door. She wore a very loose T-shirt with a hem that fell to her thighs and no pants.
To be honest, considering Emily's naked sleeping habits and the speed at which she changed clothes, Cheng Bin felt that he couldn't think about it, otherwise he would likely have a nosebleed.
"To be honest," Cheng Bin said, "you changed clothes faster than I could have imagined." ”
"It sounds like you're familiar with the amount of time women spend changing clothes." Emily said.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the butler walked in with Isabel.
Emily was taken aback when she saw her ragged and tired sister, and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Isa?" What's going on at home? ”
Isabel had just experienced a tense and exciting escape, and after relaxing, she hid in the car and fell asleep, and now she was still in a trance, and she knew that she was here to see her sister, so she was not as excited as Emily, and her reaction speed at this time seemed a little slow, so Cheng Bin replied for her: "There is nothing to do in the city." ”
He stood aside and explained, "Something happened to her on her way here. ”
Emily ignored Cheng Bin, she reached out to hold Isabel's arm, and looked at her carefully, until Isabel affirmed Cheng Bin's words, she relieved herself, glanced back at Cheng Bin, and said to Isabel, "What did he do to you?" ”
"Be careful with your words, ma'am!"
"He saved me."
Cheng Bin and Isabel spoke almost at the same time.
Emily glared back at Cheng Bin, choosing to believe his words, but still said to Cheng Bin, "I'm going to talk to Issa alone." ”
Seeing Cheng Bin bowing slightly, half-stretching out his right hand, and signaling her to take a please, Emily's serious expression really eased after seeing her sister, and she said to the butler standing aside: "Ask someone to treat the injury on his hand." ”
She said to Cheng Bin: "If I'm not mistaken, you made it yourself?" ”
"What can I say?" Cheng Bin said: "Your sister is not a skillful girl. ”
As Emily pulled Isabel to leave, the butler said, "I'm sorry ma'am, but I let Miss move without your permission...... The car that was riding, I don't think it was suitable for parking outside. ”
Emily was stunned for a moment, looked back at Cheng Bin, and saw Cheng Bin making an appreciative gesture to the housekeeper, so she nodded and said, "You did a good job, help me greet this ...... Mr. ”
She glanced at Cheng Bin deeply and said, "I'll come back." ”
"There's no need to rush." Cheng Bin said: "Let's wait until you become governor." ”
