Chapter 361: Lao Hong's Ambition
Halfway through his speech, Sewell suddenly changed his tune and stopped revealing anything.
"Don't, you're talking about it!" Martin, who was more curious, helped Lao Hong, "It's not a good habit for you to talk halfway, be careful that we pour you here tonight." β
Not only Martin, but other police officers also said nonsense.
"These guys can't be the ones from the power plant, right? But it doesn't look like it. β
"That's it, Sevier. Don't sell it, say it quickly! β
Under everyone's persuasion, Sewell finally opened the conversation again.
"Use your brain before you speak. Those guys at the power plant are GIs, how could it be them. β
Sewell is now commanding, but everyone doesn't care much about hearing the information.
"Then you must be bragging. Who else but them could make the bureau chief do this? β
"That's it, now we have the final say in the whole of Norville. Don't fool people with this gossip. β
In the face of everyone's doubts, Sewell smiled slightly, his expression indescribably mysterious.
"That's right, I'm bragging, I'm lying to confuse the public. Come on, come on, hurry up and play cards, don't talk about that. β
Originally, this group of policemen wanted to provoke the law, but they didn't expect that Sewell would not be fooled at all.
Lao Hong complained in his heart while dealing cards: Your agitation is too obvious, right? Everyone can see if it's good or not!
Seeing that Sewell didn't take the bait, the policemen began to grind again. In order to play well, Sewell had to leak some rumors to them. Tonight, he finally found a chance to come out and relax for a while, he didn't want to waste all his time on it. Besides, he's had enough of the feeling of the stars holding the moon, and it's time to start playing.
"Quiet down! Before I say that, let me ask you something. Sewell said. There was a slight pause, "Which of you remembers Quincy?" β
This was the first time Lao Hong had heard of this name, and he couldn't help but look at the others.
"Quincy? Nonsense, of course remember! Isn't that our colleague? β
"That's it, and he's still the son of Director Pierre, what's wrong?"
"Didn't that guy disappear since the beginning of the disaster? How. Is there any news of him? β
Although Lao Hong didn't know this person named Quincy at all, it was not difficult to hear his identity from the words of these policemen.
"What's the hurry? Do you know why Big Brother Brooke hasn't taken anyone out on the field these days? "Sewell's appearance of a traitor is really underwhelming, but everyone still listens to him slowly.
Seeing that everyone shook their heads blankly, Sewell explained helplessly: "Well, it seems that you really don't know anything. Then let me ask you first, do you know why Big Brother Brooke keeps going out to arrest people? β
"Needless to say? The manor needs people, isn't this unclear? "This group of policemen has long regarded Lao Hong as air, and did not keep silent because of his presence.
"Huh. You guys are so naΓ―ve. Sewell said disdainfully, shaking his head.
Pierre Paibrook's search for his son was not told to anyone else. If it is known to everyone that the purpose of birth and death is to find Quincy, it will inevitably cause everyone's dissatisfaction.
In the name that the manor needs to be built and the team needs manpower, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, this matter is known only to Brooke, as well as a few people such as Lyle who was sent abroad. The rest of the cops were kept in the dark.
Sewell didn't do anything these days, except to keep an eye on the group, just to stay with Pierre and be in charge of guarding. Pierre got a lot of clues from the people he had just captured. That's why Sewell, who had been guarding the side, heard some news.
"Is the Director looking for Quincy?" Zachary combined Tsewell's previous words and guessed the point at once.
"Worthy of Zachary. That's right, that's what you say. Although Sewell was in Kwa Zachri, the smug look between his eyebrows and eyes was clear.
"Scared."
Hearing Sewell's answer, everyone put down their cards. There was a lot of discussion.
It is normal for a father to look for a son. But you should go find it yourself, what is it to send us out every day to sell our lives?
In addition, Pierre has been managing them more strictly these days, although everyone respects Pierre on the surface, but in private everyone has quite a lot of complaints. Now I know this inside. They feel even more uncomfortable.
"I tell you, all these things that I have heard tonight are rotten in my stomach. If it reaches the ears of Director Pierre, no one will have any good fruit to eat! "Sewell regretted it a little as soon as he showed it off. For the sake of safety, he couldn't help but instruct.
But everyone was talking about Quincy at this time, and no one heard Sewell's words in their ears.
Sewell slapped the table depressedly, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were turned, he said, "I can tell you, if I am planted because of this, I will definitely drag you into the water together!" β
"Alright, Sevier. Everyone is a brother, how can they tell the director. Between us, we still have a lot of love among colleagues, don't we? Haha"
Martin came out at the right time to brush up on his presence, and everyone present laughed.
Lao Hong frowned when he heard the laughter of this group of people. These years of life experience have taught him that don't look at everyone here, there are five or six people here, and laughing people and animals are harmless, but the people who really want to harm you will not let you see it.
As for what will happen to this big-mouthed Sewell, Lao Hong doesn't care at all.
Seeing that everyone had promised not to spread the word, Sewell was willing to continue: "I'll give you a vaccination first, and we don't have a few days left to live happily." β
Seeing that everyone looked frightened, Sewell continued with satisfaction.
"In a few days, we'll have to start going out again. And you have to be mentally prepared that the number of participants in this field operation will be much higher than before, and it is estimated that no one will be able to escape. β
After listening to Sewell's words, everyone changed color. Going out to work is a very hard job. Especially these people here have already mixed up to lead the team by themselves, how can they still be willing to go out every day to catch any survivors.
Three of their colleagues have already died in field operations. And those who remained in the manor have not heard of anyone who died tragically.
Although it is possible to get the opportunity to fill your own pocket when you go out, it is a judgment compared to your life.
People like Martin don't worry much about the field, and if they leave, who will lead the team? So it is estimated that this hard errand will eventually fall on those deputies.
Without the help of their deputies, they would naturally be more tired than before, but it was much better than going out on adventures.
Hearing Sewell's words, Lao Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.
None of the cops noticed, but he saw some opportunities inside.
It is not difficult to see that Director Pierre does not trust them as survivors right now. They can only play the role of coolies, and even thugs can't take their turn. When you think about it, even a strong man like Alexander who can fight is assigned to farming, and this is obvious.
Lao Hong understands Pierre's approach very well. The base was at the beginning of its creation, and everything was still in turmoil. One mistake can lead to a full loss, and Pierre has to be so cautious.
Even if it were Lao Hong, he would choose the same approach as Pierre.
After all, Lao Hong was also a big leader of a state-owned enterprise back then, and the people under him were no less than Pierre. Extraordinary times, extraordinary means, the two have a consensus on this point.
However, the manor always has to grow, and the team will gradually grow. At that time, with these few policemen, how can they manage the entire manor well?
And the number of police officers cannot always remain the same, sooner or later someone will be sacrificed. At that point, Pierre's available personnel were even more stretched and had to make some changes.
According to Sewell's statement, it seems that the manor is about to be employed.
Of course, this time of employment does not refer to farming, building fortifications, and cleaning. Instead, he really integrated into the manor, taking on some responsibilities and gaining some power.
Previously, Lao Hong had compared the manor to a pyramid, with Director Pierre standing at the top, and the second layer being the chief's right-hand man Brooke, Grant the housekeeper, and Officer Vincent. On the third floor were Dr. Hall, Alexia, and the little cops in front of them.
The fourth layer is those special talents, and the fifth layer is their bitter haha.
Now they will have the opportunity to step directly from the fifth floor to the third floor, which is the middle level of the manor.
Compared to them, special talents in the fourth tier are more likely to get the chance to rise. But Lao Hong doesn't have to worry, as long as he has a good relationship with Martin, it will not be difficult for him to blend into the third layer.
After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current management, and only Martin can really help him.
Thinking of this, Lao Hong couldn't help but make Martin's card the largest, and he would definitely win a lot of cigarettes in a while.
In fact, of the more than 20 people in the team, only Lao Hong and Alexander can enter Martin's eyes. If Martin wants to find a new deputy, Lao Hong and Alexander can be described as half a catty.
A person who can speak well will come to things, and it is more comfortable to use, but unfortunately the English is a little worse.
An honest and obedient person, and there is no problem in communication, but unfortunately he is not as smart as Lao Hong.
Compared to Alexander, Lao Hong believed that as long as he could practice his English better, he would let Martin win a few more times. There's no reason why Martin shouldn't choose to be his deputy.
At that time, Pierre will definitely have to train another batch of reserve policemen to come out, and that is the more suitable place for Alexander to show his strength, so Lao Hong will not feel any sorry for him.
As long as you can mix well in this manor. Whether it's Ning Dongqing, the little bastard, or even Lily, they can be covered by themselves!
It seems that for Ning Dongqing's sake, for the sake of others. Lao Tzu is going to be like when he was in his twenties, and he will be promoted to officialdom again! (To be continued.) )
