249, the Duchess's fear! When money starts talking...
Duchess Tatiana, she looked sideways at Russell with a hint of surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect the director in front of her to be so straightforward, which seemed to be slightly different from the situation she investigated.
She heard about the previous night, and with the support of her aunt and uncle, checked what Russell Campo had done since he arrived in London and in Birmingham.
My uncle and aunt thought he was a very good pawn, and if he could make use of it, then they, the exiled Russian nobles, would be able to gain a foothold in London.
The message to Tatiana clearly states that Russell is a ruthless person, but he has almost no feelings for him, why? Whether in Birmingham or London, he is not close to women.
This is also the reason for Tatiana's misunderstanding, but Russell is not close to women at all, but he doesn't like those women at all.
Moreover, Russell's relationship with May and Grace is very well disguised. Especially Mei, almost no one knows about Mei's relationship with him, because Mei is a noble widow, and all her property comes from her deceased husband, if the relatives of the deceased husband know that Mei is secretly messing around, maybe she will be swallowed up by the relatives of the deceased husband.
She didn't dare to do that, and Russell didn't want to do that, only the sneaky ones had feelings, and the openness was less happy.
As for Grace, she is currently in Birmingham to help manage the integrated services company, and by the way, she takes care of Russell's youngest daughter Ai Yin, so outsiders only think that she is a member of the integrated services company, and does not associate Russell's relationship with her.
Now, when Russell speaks his mind bluntly, it makes Tatiana a little confused.
She had originally wanted to lure Russell's attention and make a lasting impression on his head, such as tonight's dancing and communication, which she thought was enough to impress Russell's mind.
It's just that she shouldn't have said the last sentence, which put her in a dilemma.
Russell stared down at her and asked, "What, don't you want to?" So why say I like you? ”
Tatiana frowned, "I want to leave a mark on your heart. ”
"And I want to leave a mark on you."
Tatiana was stunned for a moment, and looked at Russell's gaze more gently.
At this time, Russell grabbed her neck with one hand, pointed to the guests behind her, and said, "They also have a crush on you, but you are the carrier of Zhengzhi, and you are representative...... So they don't dare to do anything to you, but I'm different, I'm not a person in the Zhengzhi circle, and you shouldn't provoke me. ”
"You're not going to let me go?"
"You're kidding, since it's in my hands, then I have to let you know the consequences of touching me. Tatiana, I know the current situation of your family in London, and desperately want a chance to return to the country? Want to go back in time? ”
Tatiana looked at his face in surprise, her lips moving slightly, as if she had something to say.
"You can't go back, you know that. Do you think that with my style of doing things, I will spare the Russian nobles who are hiding in London? Your information has been passed on to me by Mr. Churchill a long time ago. ”
"What? He...... He said he wanted to help us. ”
"Who will be wholeheartedly devoted to things that have no interests?"
Russell's deep eyes dragged her into reality, and he pinched the Duchess's neck and slowly moved into the corner.
In other words, when money has a voice, the truth will fall silent!"
Tatiana looked up in horror, "You, you want to kidnap me?" ”
"What do you think? I just wanted to take you home. ”
Russell smiled: "Let's go, let's move our feet slowly, don't be seen, otherwise the relationship between you and me will spread all over London tomorrow!" ”
Tatiana lowered her head and was pushed outside by Russell.
Her makeup is delicate and eye-catching, and her dress is also very elegant, quite aristocratic and dark.
Of course, Russell knew the character of this duchess, she was a woman who had been suppressed for a long time, and he had dealt with this kind of woman before, but that woman and the duchess were two extremes.
But no matter what the extreme, it is not a problem in Russell's eyes.
Of course, he does not play the role of a hateful reptile, wagging his tail like a wild dog when he sees his master, and Tatiana is shaking it if he wants to......
Just as the two were about to get out of the hotel, Aiken chased after him from behind, and by this time Tatiana had already gotten into the car, and Russell saw Aiken chasing him out, so he stopped next to the car.
"Russell, you're leaving?"
Russell laughed and said, "I found the prey and wanted to go back and enjoy it as soon as possible." ”
"But Sado is looking for you, and he wants you to get to know the president of the steel union."
Russell took out two cigarettes, handed one to Aiken, and frowned, "Why?" ”
"I heard that you have put down the president of the Birmingham Steel Union, so the president of London wants to ask you for a few managers."
Russell shook his head, "That's not for me to meddle, Aiken...... Honestly, you shouldn't be in the league with Sado, you should do something yourself, am I right, Director Aiken. ”
Yes, Director Aiken.
This is the position that Aiken has been working hard to enterprising, he wants to replace Sado to take over the London Police Department, but his influence is much worse, although there are three ministers in the cabinet to support him, but the nobles secretly stumble on the matter, otherwise Aiken will not be heavy-handed to the aristocratic group.
"What do you mean?"
Russell leaned over and whispered, "The noble group headed by Baron Yin Lis has been dismantled, and their business is still in London, if you can negotiate with other nobles and divide the interests...... So why don't they support you? ”
Aiken was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of operation.
"Can I borrow one of your men?"
"Who? Mensa, Laito? ”
"No, I want to use William, he has the support of the military, and the heirs of the two nobles are related from childhood to adulthood......"
Russell smiled: "Very good, I'll let him report to you later." ”
"Thank you, my friend."
"You're welcome, I have the best relationship with you in the police department."
Aiken took Russell's hand and nodded heavily.
In fact, Aiken had already made up his mind to pay attention, and now he was just testing Russell's attitude. He had previously revealed to Russell the idea of ascending to the throne, and now that the time has come, he has also been partly credited with this credit.
The idea of Sardo was too old, and some people in the cabinet were already dissatisfied, especially the gangs in London who were rampant and made trouble under the nose of the king, which seriously damaged the image of the British Empire.
This is enough for Sado to be laid off and go to the countryside to retire.
Russell got into the car, glanced at Tatiana next to him, and said, "What do you think?" ”
"No idea."
"Do I need to buy a horsewhip?"
Tatiana's eyes lit up, "You like it?" ”
"You like it."
Listening to Russell's words, Tatiana felt that she had found the right person.
She was able to find a little relaxation in her stressful and restrained life......
"Tatiana, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Very decisive and ruthless."
Russell drove and shook his head with a smile: "No, you are crazy, and I am calm." ”
"Then I'll see if your calm is the same as the lake."
A villa on Grand Street.
The house was purchased by Tommy to be used as a safe house and a makeshift gathering place.
Now there is no one in it, but they have everything they need for life, as well as guns and ammunition.
When Tatiana entered the room, she took off her coat and sat calmly on the sofa, holding a cigarette in one hand.
Russell, on the other hand, went to rummage through the room, and when he came out, Tatiana was stunned.
"What are you going to do?"
Russell held a horsewhip and knocked out the cigarette in her hand with a flick of it.
A crisp sound echoed through the room.
Tatiana was a little confused, "You're not ......"
Russell stared at her and said ill-intentionedly, "You're crazy? Come, let's try the raging waterfall. ”
Whips were waved and rattled.
Tatiana's arm was whipped twice, and a burning pain spread throughout her body.
She didn't dare to shout, because shouting would only cause unnecessary trouble.
"The calm of the sea is whether the ship is drifting, and the calm of the starry sky is whether there is a shooting star. So, Tatiana, what is your peace? ”
Tatiana curled up on the couch, her whole body convulsed, and even retched a little and wanted to vomit.
"I, my heart is not at peace......"
"Hard mouth!"
That night, Russell did nothing but wave the horsewhip to teach her a lesson.
If you want to blame this woman's heart is too dirty, if you want to gain the upper hand, you must be surprised.
It's her who hits!
"What do your aunts and uncles want to do?"
Tatiana hugged her shoulders, her face pale, her eyes drenched with tears, ruining her delicate makeup.
However, Russell is not distressed, she deserves it.
Want to use him and do things for the Russian aristocracy?
It's hilarious!
"They want me to have a good relationship with you and then go and assassinate the Bolsheviks......"
Russell smiled and shook his head: "No, they mean to let me assassinate the general of the IRA, or they want you to use me to kill Mr. Churchill." ”
Tatiana was shocked: "No, no, we don't have that kind of thought. ”
In her eyes, Russell was more like a demon from the abyss at the moment.
The calm eyes, as well as the flat face, the smile that appeared from time to time...... and the waving horsewhip, which made her heart tremble.
She thought that maybe she shouldn't have provoked him in the first place.
Now, he actually used dirty means to warn ...... No, it's coercing her.
"We don't think so, really."
Russell sat across from her, took out a cigarette and lit it, and put it in her mouth.
"I heard that there are many Russian nobles who have fled? What about their wealth, why don't I see them spending it on the streets? ”
Tatiana was stunned, took a light puff on her cigarette, and said, "All the nobles who fled to London, their money is stored in a basement, where it is safe...... That is the hope of our recovery. ”
Russell smiled: "Now, you still want to return to China?" Tatiana, I must warn you that in front of you is the Chief of Operations of the Metropolitan Police Department! ”
"You tricked me here to torture me?"
Russell shook his head, walked to the window, looked at the white street outside, and said: "If you are a criminal, then this kind of behavior is called interrogation, if you are a civilian, this kind of behavior is called torture, but you are a woman, and I am a man, so what is this behavior called?" ”
"Floral?"
"Looks like you're enjoying it."
"No, I should play your part, and you should lie here."
Russell raised his whip, and the frightened Tatiana cowered into the couch.
"Look, I just raised my hand, and you're scared. If our roles were reversed, would you be able to do a good job? You can't, because your heart is upset and you're enjoying it. ”
Tatiana fell silent.
In the room, only smoke fills the room, and the faint sound of sighing.
It was Russell's hair, and Tatiana turned her head when she heard the voice, and opened her mouth to say, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
"There is no hope for you to restore the country, so it is better to take out the money and jewels, and we will share them together."
"Why?"
"If you want to survive, you have to be rich. And I want to climb up, is there a problem? ”
"Who are you going to bribe?"
"It's really ugly, how can it be called bribery, this is called making friends."
Tatiana rubbed the red and swollen whip marks and said, "Your speech is really meaningful. ”
Russell turned his head and said, "Really? Do you still want to see the connotation? ”
Tatiana was stunned, and then saw Russell Campo Jr.
--
It was past nine o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Russell got dressed, he turned to Tatiana on the bed and said, "Go back when you have rested, and remember to wear suspenders next time." ”
Tatiana lay on her side and frowned, "You are so ruthless? ”
"What is ruthlessness?"
"You didn't even prepare breakfast for me."
"Do you really think you're a duchess? It's a temporary place to stay, and there's no one to look after you. ”
Tatiana gritted her teeth and said, "I remember. ”
Russell walked over and patted her on the head, smiled and said, "Good attitude." ”
“……”
When he walked to the door, he stopped and turned around, raised his hand and pointed at her, "Don't play tricks or crazy with me in the future, understand?" ”
"Okay."
Outside, Russell drove away.
Tatiana stood up with her tired body and stood in front of the window to look out, she saw Russell's ruthless side, and did not even turn her head to look at her when she left.
Seeing the car disappear, she looked down at the scars on her body and couldn't help but grin.
Recalling what happened just now made her very relieved.
Metropolitan Police Department.
As soon as Russell stopped the car, Laito ran over.
"Boss, something happened."
"What's the matter?"
"Last night, a group of people appeared in Birmingham and wounded Arthur and members of the Lee family who were left behind at Camptown Racecourse, and then Polly was robbed."
Russell frowned: "What about Tommy?" ”
Tommy and Chen Nan were together, and they didn't dare to move...... He is now a fake identity. ”
Yes, Tommy used his fake identity to do things for the nobles led by Baron Yinlis, but the nobles are dead at the moment, but Tommy has already appeared on the stage, so it is impossible to use his real identity to operate in London.
Once the activity is noticed by other aristocratic groups, then it will be associated with Russell Campo, and then it will be the real trouble!
"You send someone to deliver the news to Tommy, tell him that I will take care of this matter myself, and that Polly will be safe, so that he can rest assured."
"Okay."
"You go to do things first, and then come to the office when you're done."
"Yes!"
Immediately, Laito hurried into the street, and Russell also entered the police department building.
