Chapter Ninety-Eight: Step by Step
Early the next morning, as soon as Natalie got up, the housekeeper knocked on the door.
Natalie was stunned to learn that the headquarters of the Wolf Gang had been burned to the ground, and that the leader White Wolf had disappeared along with most of his men.
"Wouldn't it be another Bloodline hunt?" Natalie pinched her toothbrush, her large, clear eyes filled with doubt.
"There was not a single body to be found at the scene, the Blood Clan hunt was not so clean, and it was impossible to set it on fire. The housekeeper shook her head, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "I think it's more likely that Qiyan is there." Frederick has been chasing you for so long, and if he had found out what was going on here, he would have been desperate to intervene. ”
"Who doesn't want him to meddle in his affairs?" Natalie snorted, obviously a little uncomfortable, "Ray has been most disgusted with me dealing with other men since he was a child, and if Frederick didn't know how to advance and retreat, my relationship with Qiyan would have ended earlier!"
"It doesn't have to be him, I'm just assuming. In any case, the end of the Wolf Gang is a good thing for us, and things will be much easier without these clowns in the mix. In response to Natalie's overreaction, a rare smile appeared on the butler's poker face, "By the way, sooner or later you will have your own family, what will Young Master Lei do when the time comes?"
"I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed!" Natalie blocked her ears willfully like a little girl, and pushed the housekeeper out of the door with her body, "I haven't washed my face yet, you get out quickly!"
Finally closing the door, Natalie absentmindedly washed her face, and her heart jumped.
"I don't know if Ray sneaked out last night...... It can't be that coincidental that he happens to be mixed up with the Wolf Gang, right?" But I still couldn't help but get nervous.
After a few minutes, she finally couldn't help but rush out of the room. Teng Tengteng went up to the second floor, stood outside his brother's door and knocked violently. He shouted, "Ray, open the door!"
Natalie knocked for a long time but did not respond, and was about to call someone to break down the door, but the door was pulled open from the inside, and a bald head poked out, looking at her sleepily.
"On fire?" asked Relo.
"I ...... Let me ask you what you want for breakfast. Natalie was embarrassed and made up a reason.
Both the groom and the chauffeur were instructed not to take their brother out of the manor. It's also at least a two-hour drive from the city centre. Since he is still in the room, it means that he was there last night.
After that narrow escape, my younger brother is obviously obedient. But he is still like a crazy woman, and he actually thinks of this point in a cranky way. Young people have a rebellious mentality, and my younger brother is especially difficult to mess with, and if you really want to force him to the point where he can't bear it, I'm afraid all the efforts so far will be in vain......
Natalie thought uneasily, her hands behind her back and her fingers whirling around. Where is there still a little bit of the usual strong woman's momentum.
"What are you going to have for breakfast, let the cook ask, have you changed your career?" Lei Luo was about to close the door unceremoniously, when he suddenly let out a "huh" and looked Natalie up and down. "You turn around." ”
Natalie thought she had something on her body and turned around.
Accompanied by her movements. Relo whistled meaningfully. Natalie spun around and looked back to see that he had a different look in his eyes. I couldn't help but look down, followed by a scream that almost tore Ray Luo's eardrum.
She was wearing only panties and a shirt. I came here and didn't even have shoes on my feet. A pair of long, flawless beautiful legs were exposed to Lei Luo's sight. Although the hem of the shirt blocks the key parts, the graceful silhouette of the black panties is still faintly revealed.
Natalie didn't care to scold Lei Luo, and fled downstairs like a frightened deer, bumping into the housekeeper who came on the way, and quickly explained that it was okay, but her face was as red as an apple.
"Next time, get dressed up and catch me again!" Lei Luo smiled and turned back to the house.
Three days later, Natalie arrived at the most famous "Sun Island" café in the town. The butler behind her was still dressed in uniform, her face was cold and expressionless, like a doll with mechanical precision.
Outside the café, there are large parasols, white plastic tables and chairs, and dark green umbrellas that make people feel a little cool in this hot summer. There weren't many guests, so they sat in pairs and threes, not so much to enjoy coffee as to find a comfortable place to pass the time.
Ronald had already arrived, his face was a little strange, and the smile in his eyes had turned gloomy, which was incompatible with the whole casual and relaxed atmosphere.
Natalie took her seat and ordered an unsweetened Sumatmocha, then looked at Ronald without saying a word, waiting for him to speak first.
Ronald was silent for a long time and let out a long sigh: "Dear Natalie, I have never admired a woman, you have to be the first." The white wolf is the craziest person I have ever seen, but this time it is like a lost dog, and the territory that he has beaten down with his own hands is gone, and the entire wolf gang has been forced away, as if the world has evaporated...... With such a big effort, I can't think of a third party in Lille other than you and me who could do it overnight. ”
He stared at Natalie and held out a finger and tapped it lightly on the table to reinforce the tone. "I'm already pulling the strings, and I'm going to get everyone to sit down and talk. If you do this, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the forces behind the Wolf Gang?"
As a volunteer mediator and intermediary, Ronald seems to have reacted a little aggressively. The housekeeper standing on the side couldn't help frowning, but Natalie smiled and said, "It's not me." ”
"Not you?" Ronald glared.
"I don't have to lie. Natalie replied lightly.
Ronald's face changed rapidly, and he stared at Natalie as if he was meeting each other for the first time. He knew he was out of shape, very out of shape, but he just couldn't control the extreme anger that came with his frustration.
Are you provoking me? Is it to see the way I look now? Do you think that this level of riposting will make me stop and give up???
It took half a minute for the normal color of blood to slowly return to Ronald's face. He stroked his chin, his palm clearly felt the friction resistance of the short beard, squinted his eyes in the "rustle" sound, and gradually regained his yin owl and self-confidence.
No matter how strong she is, she is just a woman.
"Since it's none of your business, that's fine. I'm not afraid of gangsters, Rollo and Ray will come together sooner or later, and I'm also concerned about chaos! Okay, let's not talk about these unappetizing things. Dear Natalie, I heard that the operation rights of Sailfish Harbor will be open to bidding in a few days, if you are interested, why don't you go over and have a look together?After all, our two families are the most wealthy families in this place, and if we have the opportunity to cooperate, it is always the best choice to join forces, what do you say?" Ronald was extremely sincere, as if the previous topic was just a natural twist.
"Okay, you can set a date!" Natalie was still so calm.
Ocean trade is the most important link in the Inbas family's industrial chain, and Natalie is determined to win this Sailfish Port bid. Now Ronald is actually going to intervene sideways and talk about cooperation, obviously because the Wolf Gang has failed to make trouble, and he has temporarily remembered a new trick.
Natalie really wanted to see what he was up to, so she chose to take it head-on.
After Ronald left first, Natalie called the waitress and packed a black coffee from Allen Mountain, her brother's favorite drink, and then got in the car with the housekeeper.
The car rumbles, and the latest eight-cylinder engine and sleek body make it like a metal beast, speeding out with a sense of power. In the cab, the housekeeper who drove the car kept her eyebrows and stopped talking several times.
"When the time comes, we'll see what he wants to do, and we'll improvise. It's not my style to be passive, and you've been with me for so long, you should know this very well. Natalie saw what was on her mind.
"That's good. The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
The two didn't say anything all the way, and when they were about to reach the manor, Natalie suddenly smiled softly and said, "Do you think that Ray's recent behavior is very different from before? ”
The housekeeper pondered for a moment and gave an answer that made Natalie angry: "It's really not as cheap as before." ”
"Are you going to go far away? or with the people of the Hill family?" After Lei Luo heard the news, he was a little more serious, "Lao Tzu is going too!"
"You're staying at home, I'll be back with you when I'm done there, okay?" Natalie coaxed him in a childlike tone.
Lei Luo didn't eat this at all, and said disdainfully: "Who wants you to accompany you! Didn't you say that Ronald and Rollo will go? Such a good opportunity, of course I have to chase the goddess of my dreams!"
As soon as the wild wolf and wild dog were removed, I didn't expect that Ronald to lose his breath so quickly. Of course, it won't be too peaceful to go to Sailfish Harbor, maybe any demons and monsters will come out, and Lei Luo doesn't want to miss the harvest time in vain. On the other hand, if you want to continue to play the role of the young master in peace, you must first protect this family. A guy with bad intentions like Ronald came to cut one by one, which can be regarded as a little reward for Natalie.
"I said I wasn't allowed to go, I wasn't allowed to go, I don't want to talk about it!" Natalie didn't want her brother to go on an adventure with her, so she rushed away in a rage.
More than ten minutes later, an old servant found Natalie in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, it's not good, the young master has gone to the cellar with a torch!"
"Want to burn the house?" Natalie sneered and continued to review the documents, without even raising her head, "Is there still a lot of this kind of little trick lady? Let him burn it!"
"No, the young master has brought a rope and is tying himself to the cellar, saying that he is going to set himself on fire!" replied the old servant.
Natalie stood up in astonishment, her eyes wide with anger.
It's only been three days, why did you get sick again?(To be continued......)
