"What! brother-in-law is back?"

When Steven heard this, his body shook, and he barely fainted.

"Yes, all back, just outside. ”

Eugene said with his hands dancing.

"Let's go, go out with me to see my brother-in-law. ”

Hearing that Alan and the others had arrived at the door, Steven didn't bother to ask more, and had already rushed out of the door first. Quake and Ed followed, but they weren't in such a hurry, and they looked at each other with incredible shock in their eyes before heading out.

Alan, they are really back, and now I'm afraid things will turn around again.

"Brother-in-law!"

Alan rode into the courtyard, and just turned over from the horse, Steven's joyful voice was heard in front of him:

"Brother-in-law, you're finally back. ”

Steven rushed over.

"I'm coming back late, you've suffered all this time. ”

Alan opened his arms and hugged the young man who rushed over excitedly, he looked at the young man's slightly haggard face seriously, touched the young man's head, patted the young man's shoulder again, and said with pity.

"It's not too late. As long as my brother-in-law can come back, I am not afraid of any hardship. ”

Steven's eyes were red, but he tried to keep his tears from flowing, as if he wanted to show that he was not afraid of hardship.

"Tell your brother-in-law what happened during this time, and your brother-in-law wants to get justice for you. ”

After everyone met with Steven, the housekeeper Ed invited everyone into the living room, and prepared some food and drinks for everyone, although the people in the family were grounded, but the materials needed were not blocked, but Alan was not in the mood to eat and drink now, as soon as he sat down, he asked about the most important thing at present, if it was really someone who deliberately wanted to be unfavorable to Steven, then he would definitely not give up.

"Are those Sheriff's people outside the door still there?"

Steven was in no hurry to answer Alan's question.

"I've already sent them away. ”

Stanny patted the long sword at his waist and said proudly.

"Brother-in-law, three months ago, Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Oulburn, suddenly found Lord Ogu and accused us of misappropriating the recipes used in our pharmacy store to steal the Hepburn family, and the potions we used these formulas to produce seriously affected the business of the Hepburn family and infringed on the interests of the Hepburn family, so they need the Ogu family to administer justice, stop our business activities that continue to infringe on the interests of the Hepburn family, and bring the person in charge of the store to justice. ”

Hearing that the people from the security department outside had been driven away, Steven breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained the reason for the incident.

"Just because Gerald wants to condemn us with one mouth, Lord Ogu is not so stupid, is he?"

As soon as Steven spoke, Alan almost immediately understood the cause of the matter, it must be that the Hepburn family's potion was not as effective as his own, so the business was affected, and they couldn't find a way to change the situation, so they could only be forced to make this decision, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to rely on the power of the Hepburn family to oppress Holland to deal with himself, but after all, this is the ancient city of Oulenste, their hands can reach here, but the sword is absolutely not, don't say that Holland can't accept it, even Yuss will never allow this kind of thing to happen, so the Hepburn family can only rely on Holranster's hand, but Hollanster is not stupid, how can you not understand the intentions of the Hepburn family.

"Gerrard's words alone certainly don't stand as evidence, but they have a witness in their hands. ”

Steven said.

"Witnesses?"

Alan asked suspiciously, there are still witnesses for this kind of false complaint?

"Yes, when Kevin was preparing for the refining of the potion, he once recruited a group of pharmacists from all over the mainland at a high price, but he didn't expect that there were people from the Hepburn family mixed in, so when Gerald accused us, one of our pharmacists stood up and became their witness, and he proved that our potion recipe was stolen from the Hepburn family's pharmacy through him. When Lord Ogu found out, he summoned Kevin to question, and although Kevin resolutely refuted the Hepburn family's accusations, Kevin could not provide evidence to refute them in the face of the undercover pharmacist. ”

Steven said with some annoyance that they didn't strictly check the identity of the pharmacist because they were in a hurry to refine the potion, and they didn't expect that Gerald would be so far-sighted that he would put a nail on his side early.

"Holland believed the witness so much that he didn't suspect that the witness himself was from the Hepburns?"

Elvis asked.

Of course, Lord Ogu was suspicious, so he had been talking to the mud at the beginning of this matter, just asking Kevin to come up with the source of the formula to prove his innocence, but Kevin considered that the parchment scroll was his brother-in-law's, and it might hide a major secret, and if he took it out, it might cause more trouble, so when the Hepburn family asked about the source of the formula, he was forced to be helpless, so he made up a lie that it was a formula provided by the elf family, thinking that he could mix it up like this, after all, it was impossible for either the Hepburn family or the Ogu family to go to the elves to verify the matter, and Alan did have some friendship with the elves, and it was reasonable for the elves to give some formulas, and Lord Ogu knew that this kind of friendship should not be exposed, will try to take the means of calming people, but it backfires, not mentioning the elves, it is okay, the mention of the elves seems to anger Lord Ogu, he denounced Kevin for talking nonsense, with the conservative style of the elves, how could he teach his method of extracting potions to humans, which has never happened for thousands of years. So, Lord Oku, who was originally neutral, suddenly changed his position and stood on the side of the Hepburn family, a month ago, the Sheriff's Department arrested Kevin, and I, as the owner of the store, were naturally involved, but the eldest lady Selena and Mrs. Ogu helped talk, so I was not arrested, but I was also confined at home, supervised by the Sheriff's Department, and I had to cooperate with the investigation at any time. ”

"It's just too deceitful!"

Hearing this, Allen, who was sitting on the chair, slapped the table and stood up and said angrily, the cup on the table was shaken twice, which startled the people around him, and everyone rarely saw him get so angry. You know, Alan gives people the feeling that he has always been calm in the face of things, even if the sky falls, he is not in a hurry, whether it is the rescue of the elven prince in Pooh Cathedral or the battle of horse bandits in the underground cave, he has never shown such excitement, he didn't expect this incident to make him so angry.

However, as the closest people to Allen's side, Stanny and Miranda can still understand his feelings to some extent, the death of his sister Bai Lanxue has made the safety of his younger brother Steven a reverse scale that Allen cannot touch in this world, and any move that is unfavorable to Steven will be strongly countered by him, even if it is not an idea.

Of course, there is another reason for Allen's anger, Kevin was locked up because he was unwilling to reveal the secret of the parchment scroll, and Alan did remind Kevin that this parchment scroll is extraordinary, and it must not be known to outsiders that it exists, otherwise it will bring him big trouble, but I didn't expect Kevin to really remember it, and would rather squat in the cell than keep his mouth shut. Therefore, the two things were put together, which made him, who had always been calm, immediately angry.
