Zhang Bei, who walked with Ruth and the old housekeeper who was over fifty years old, walked to the entire inner hall of the castle. He couldn't help but look around. This castle has been expanded by several generations. Even if someone like Zhang Bei has seen such great things, he can't help but look around.
Those who attended the scene couldn't help but marvel at the ingenious design and the security system that has been hidden in the dark. This castle combines multiple "arts" inside, just like China, where the Rodriguez family is the royal family.
, the well-deserved king, and this time Zhang Bei is going to help David fight for the throne.
Various signs indicate that Doyle prefers to pass the position to David who is closely behind him. However, throughout the history of the country, there are many people who have killed their sons and fathers to seize the throne, not to mention David and Coulson.
Everything is subject to change, but Zhang Bei always feels that this old man who has been lying on the hospital bed for decades in Los Angeles has prepared everything and is waiting for someone to take advantage of him!
Of course, feelings are just feelings and cannot represent reality. From the confident posture of Ku Sen and the old man, Zhang Bei can easily find that the other party has made preparations. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, this will become the main battlefield for the new king.
.
Although David has been very calm and thoughtful on many occasions, and he is definitely outstanding in front of his peers, but this time his opponent is the cunning Cusen. From his pace, it is not difficult for Zhang Bei to discover that this
As a young man who is only in his mid-twenties, he actually has no idea. All variables must be seen before he can make a decision.
The main hall where Doyle lived was on the second floor. After walking through the corridor and entering the second floor, Zhang Bei saw at a glance that there was a pool of about fifty square meters in the center of the entire castle.
It’s not shocking, but if there are dozens of crocodiles lying next to the pool with their bloody mouths open, it will make people feel creepy!
Maybe he sensed Zhang Bei's strangeness, or maybe he wanted to relieve the ups and downs in his heart. David, who was originally walking behind, walked up to Zhang Bei in a hurry and said to him with a sincere smile on his face:
"This is the place where our family enforces family law. Anyone who betrays the family will be torn into pieces for these crocodiles to enjoy..." Listening to David's inhumane words, Zhang Bei couldn't help but tremble a little. As the saying goes,
Entering a wealthy family is as deep as the sea. On the premise of high 'income', there is also outrageously high 'pressure'...
During the subsequent journey, David did not shy away from the fact that Zhang Bei standing next to him was an 'outsider'. Instead, he really regarded him as his 'brother-in-law' and patiently introduced him to the facilities in the castle.
Including security system!
Zhang Bei is no longer a young man hanging out in society. David's words revealed some kind of information. Perhaps he himself felt it. He would either win the throne in one fell swoop tonight, or he would be thrown into the crocodile pool.
, life and death only happen in an instant, but from the current prestige and connections within the family, everyone knows that Cusen has occupied the right time, place, and people...
Compared with the majestic mansion in the outer hall, Doyle's ward, which carries the fate of many people, is much simpler. It has a set of sophisticated instruments and a double bed, and that's it. The old Doyle has an oxygen tube inserted into his nostrils.
Holding on to his last breath, his closed eyes slowly opened as the door was opened. When he saw David and Ruth walking into the room, a kind smile appeared on his face.
, as the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. This old man, who has made many people in Los Angeles and even the East talk about it, showed his kind side at this moment, and slowly stretched out his right hand, although there was still an intravenous needle inserted in it.
If you pay attention, you may lose sight, but the old man is still like this. Ruth, who was walking at the front, rushed over first. This woman who had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle within the family had to be involved at this time. Life or death
Death, her fate is the same as David's. Maybe if you give Doyle a while, he will definitely be able to handle everything, but everything is too sudden, and it is so sudden that no one is prepared.
"Grandpa..." Ruth's voice began to choke, and Ruth, who was buried in Doyle's arms, was no longer as unrestrained as before, whimpering like an ordinary child, wanting to save her relatives!
Doyle stroked her golden hair and answered with some difficulty:
"Why are you crying? Life, old age, sickness and death, these are the rules." After saying this, Doyle slowly raised his eyes and stared directly at Zhang Bei, who was standing with David, with a more stern expression on his face.
, a little less smiling!
"I have always been repelled by Orientals. I really hope that this time it will be my granddaughter who uses a fake boyfriend to fool me, but just now the housekeeper told me everything that happened outside, young man, no matter what the purpose
, you are my granddaughter’s first real boyfriend, don’t hurt her, otherwise..." Doyle was obviously too excited as he spoke, and then, before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently, revealing his face.
When Si and David hurriedly stepped forward to help him calm down, he blurted out that blood drops were scattered on the white back like sporadic drizzle. Doyle, with a pale face, held David's hand tightly, his eyes widened and his mouth opened.
One by one, it was obvious that there were still many things to say that had not been finished. However, the doctor who came in urgently drove everyone else out, leaving only the attending doctor, lawyer and the housekeeper.
David and Ruth, who exited the room, were very nervous about their grandfather's condition and wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but were stopped by other elders of the family! Zhang Bei, who was standing aside, looked at David and Ruth sympathetically.
The two of them looked sideways out of the hall. Maybe just as they thought, tonight would really no longer be peaceful.
....
When everyone exited the room, the attending physician became less panicked and slowly prepared Doyle's medicine, while the lawyer was lying on the table writing something. The usually respectful old housekeeper seemed to have changed at this time.
As if he were alone, he straightened his back, pulled up the stool beside the bed, and sat directly next to Doyle. This would have been absolutely impossible to happen normally.
Doyle's own constitution allowed him to withstand the cough. The boss, who had eyes waiting, looked at the old man next to him who had always been loyal to him, pointed at him, opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something...
"Master, after all, I have been with you for nearly forty years. Before you took over the position of patriarch, the two of us have endured hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people. I remember that at the beginning, you were the leader of many brothers.
And the position on the corpse of the elder. At that time, you told me that I must not be kind to women. This is the law of survival!" After saying this, the housekeeper took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of Doyle's mouth.
He ignored the other party's angry eyes and continued:
"In the past forty years, I have to say that you have done a good job, bringing the entire family into orbit, and successfully linked up with the government, making the current Rodriguez family more powerful. However, I have to ask myself, you have given
What is the old slave? Apart from the scarred body and the memories that cannot be erased, what else does the old slave have? I gave up my family for you, and I also gave up the years for you, but in the end it was all in vain, you
Take the first step, but what did you leave for me? Nothing, right? If, if you hadn't suddenly become ill, maybe in order to support David's smooth rise to power, I would have died before you, right? After all, I
You are an old man. I am familiar with everything here, and I know even more about the private transaction accounts hidden by the Rodriguez family. You are afraid that I will take control of power.
As the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, heaven will kill you. I'm old, and I really want to live the rest of my life in peace, but I need money, a lot of money, enough money for me to quietly disappear into this world." When the old housekeeper said.
After finishing this, the doctor who prepared the medicine walked behind the old housekeeper with a sinister smile. The old housekeeper who saw all this continued with a smile:
"After this injection, Master, you are really free. You are a dying person. I really don't want to deceive you anymore. As early as two years ago, I have already negotiated the price with the second master. I know that Master
Your heart is not good, so over the years, I have added an extra dose of medicine to your medicine, medicine to speed up your condition. Speaking of which, I think you should understand what I mean! Yes, that’s right, this
The bureau, Erye and I have been planning it for two years, and we have been waiting for this day. Don’t get excited, you won’t die yet, because you still have to take a fingerprint. When the lawyer writes the re-drafted suicide note, your fingerprint will be needed.
And the painting deposit. Otherwise, who will pay my reward?"
...
Goose-feather snowflakes were falling in the hall along the window. Ruth, who had lost her mind, was hiding in Zhang Bei's arms like the girl next door. At this time, perhaps she was the only one here who had only known her for less than two days.
It was the man who made her feel safe. She was still sobbing, and her eyes kept staring at the closed door until the old housekeeper opened the door and walked out in grief, telling everyone that Doyle had passed away.
At that time, Ruth, who was originally leaning on Zhang Bei's body, rushed to the room first and saw Jingjing lying on the hospital bed. Her body was still warm, but she had lost her vitality. The face on the old face was stiff, and everything was
Everything became weird after Doyle left. The one who cried the most was not Ruth, but Cussen who hurriedly came from outside. But the one who cried the most sincerely was her...
When the lawyer stood in front of everyone with the prepared will and read out the manipulated paper, listening to the property distribution in the will, David's face turned pale and looked very weak at this moment, because in the will, his
The pre-allocated shares will be handed over to Cussen for management. This means that from now on, David will only have the right to dividends, but not the right to speak. What is even more sinister is that this will also clearly states that the majority
If Wei and Ruth die unexpectedly, the inheritance distributed by them will be taken over by Kusen. This means that if they die now, there will be no need for an election, and Kusen will become the next patriarch.
Although this will is full of loopholes, it is now dead and unproven. Seeing Cusen take the will with trembling hands and saying some high-sounding words with great righteousness, many relatives of the Rodriguez family know that from now on
Since then, the Rodriguez family has changed...
A few people who were slightly agitated jumped out to question the authority of this will. However, just as he finished speaking these words, the originally cold pistol became hot, and the barrel of the bullet became warm.
The two clowns who fell to the ground were lying straight on the ground, while the old butler, who was in charge of the family's internal security system, watched all this indifferently...
