Chapter 840: Meet Them
By the time Old Baker returned to his study, Brooke had already made up his mind that he was going to meet the mystery man for a while, and if the incident could be resolved peacefully, he didn't mind losing a few insignificant laborers.
Brooke's decision was a pleasant surprise to Baker Sr., who thought the trip had been a fruitful one, even with one thing attached.
Although Brooke is willing to accept this peace talks, the venue of the negotiations must be set at the manor, and the leaders of the other side must be named in person, and no one can be pretended to be replaced.
Otherwise, Brooke rejects any offer from the other side.
Old Baker could not make a decision for the fat man, and after receiving an answer from Brooke, he left the manor with Galdino without any stop, and returned to the convoy.
The success of the trip greatly exceeded Old Baker's expectations, and Old Baker did not feel that there was anything wrong with the whole process, until he embarked on the way back, and the quiet and deep night made him faintly uneasy.
He couldn't say what had gone wrong, but there must have been something that had been overlooked.
With good news and a few concerns, Old Baker saw Li Fat and them again. The honest Baker did not hide anything, and told everything about what happened and his worries.
This should have been very happy news, but because of Baker Sr.'s worries and Brooke's additional conditions, everyone was really not happy.
"I'm not wrong, am I?"
Old Baker finished speaking, and glanced back at Galdino.
Galdino had already taken off his unaccustomed police hat, and after pondering for a while, he nodded and replied, "That's true. I'm not very familiar with them, but I can clearly feel that the atmosphere tonight is a little weird and uncomfortable. In short, just like Baker said, there is something weird, but I can't say it. ”
"These foreigners are quite scheming, don't care if he is strange or not, in short, let you go to their manor, it will be a sheep into the tiger's mouth, I don't think there is anything to talk about, just fight with them!"
Jiu Ye said very honorably, he said this for the good of Li Fatzi.
"No, they have hostages on their hands, since they chose peace talks in the first place, they can't take this risk anymore, otherwise they will put Albe and them in danger." Arthas shook his head while holding his injured arm.
"According to your explanation, I didn't reveal your identity, and Brooke shouldn't be able to find them in a short time."
Old Baker said, and Galdino nodded his head, proving that what he said was true.
"No, Brooke is a smart man. Now that we've made the VIP request, he's quickly been able to narrow down his suspicions to a very small level, and now he might have guessed who we are. Lily analyzed with some concern.
"That's right, unless the other side refuses to negotiate peace, we can't easily use the solution of assault. Since the other party agreed, we have no reason to ask for hardship. ”
The Ninth Master didn't care about the safety of Albe, but Li Fat Man would never risk the lives of his partners, even if the odds were small.
"Li boy, you are right to listen to me. Knowing that this is a set and still drilling into it, you are not called brave, you are stupid! The ninth master shook his head depressedly.
"Maybe it's not a trap..."
Lily thought and thought, and opened her mouth with some hesitation.
There was another possibility in her mind, and that was that Alexander had succeeded in taking the manor.
While this possibility seems almost as good as wishful thinking at the moment, Lily is even more reluctant to accept the news of Alexander's defeat and death.
Earlier today, due to the suddenness of the incident, it was not easy for Lily to pass the information to Alexander through Alexia, and as for what to do after the operation succeeded or failed, Lily had no time to think about it, so she had to leave it all to Alexander to handle the arrangements on his own.
Lily had never heard from Alexander, and Lily felt more and more hopeless, but hearing the worries of old Baker, the spark of hope in her heart was ignited again.
Old Baker didn't know about Alexander at all, so he felt weird everywhere on this trip, but if he was in the know, maybe everything would be revealed.
Lily thought so, that's why she had what she just said.
Fat Li glanced at Lily, who had already told him about it, and after a little thought, he guessed what Lily was thinking.
If that's the case, then it's a lot easier to explain.
The other party has successfully controlled the manor and Brooke, and in the case of not knowing whether the person who is coming is friend or foe, the necessary precautions will definitely not be less. But as soon as Lily shows up, everyone will know who they are, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily.
Lyle may not have been caught up in the accident, but was captured alive by Lily's unwitting friend.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Li Fatzi.
Maybe Brooke is busy in the manor at this time, trying to trap and trap his subordinates, waiting for him to fall into the net.
"I..."
"I know something is wrong!"
As soon as the fat man Li spoke, Old Baker next to him suddenly screamed.
"Details, a lot of details are not right!" Old Baker's voice became high-pitched with excitement, and his body trembled slightly from the momentous discovery, "Brooke has a lot of respect for Director Pierre, and the Director doesn't know when he will return, and he will never swagger to use the Director's study." Brooke is a low-key person, and he has always been obscure, and he would not do such a stupid thing, which is one of the doubts.
Suspicion 2, Brooke has always been a loner in the manor and doesn't like people around him. He has too many secrets for fear of being known, and he is very suspicious by nature, and he can't fully trust anyone, so why are there suddenly two more guards around him tonight? There must be something hidden in this!
Suspicion three, the director swallowed a gun and died, and the culprit was... It doesn't make sense that my opponent came to the door and wanted to negotiate peace, but Brooke didn't consult with me, the only person in the know, and persuaded me to leave the room and make a decision casually. In retrospect, Brooke didn't seem to be on this matter, but on something even more terrible.
I'm afraid something big has happened to the manor..."
Old Baker had already suffered so much that he didn't want to speculate any longer.
If Lily and Li Fatzi were only twenty percent confident before, now after listening to Old Baker's analysis, they are at least half sure that the manor has fallen into their own hands.
Li Fatzi interrupted the people who were still about to express their opinions, and directly decided: "No matter what the current situation of the manor is, I must go on this trip." No, it's us going! ”
(To be done!) )
