Half an hour later, Tao Ju actually arrived at Mrs. Zuo's residence.
It's just that he was not able to meet the person with the highest theoretical authority in East 824th District at the first time. Instead, under the arrangement of Housekeeper Zuo, "Aunt Hu" whom he contacted by phone last night, he first placed a mental patient
The mother, who was greatly shocked, was arranged to rest in a guest suite, waiting for Mrs. Zuo to come to her after she woke up.
As for when "after waking up" is another question.
It was now the darkest period before dawn, how could Tao Ju sleep, so he made himself a pot of strong tea, sat in the living room of the suite, and endured the next few hours.
The tea was still boiling hot, and suddenly a bell rang in the quiet living room, and someone called him.
Tao Ju was startled, but what he saw was an unfamiliar number. Under normal circumstances, he would never answer such a number in the early morning. But all the incidents last night and this morning made him afraid to respond rashly. He hesitated.
Two seconds later, it still picked up.
Then, a very irritating voice and title came into the ear canal: "Hey, little bastard."
Tao Ju took a breath and subconsciously put the pronunciation port of the bracelet against his cheek to avoid making too loud a sound.
Opposite was Pava who had just disappeared.
"Landed safely, do you remember your partner?" Pava smiled hoarsely, without giving Tao Ju a chance to speak, and said directly, "Remember my conditions, I can help each other with Zuo Tai, my request is
I know Mrs. Zuo can do the final cleansing. Before that, I allow her to inspect the goods first and make a request that is not too excessive and a reasonable goal. I don’t mind showing off my ability."
"Zuo..." Finally got a chance to speak, but as soon as the words came out, Tao Ju subconsciously shut up, looked around, and then replied in a lower voice, "In her position, she is only so limited.
several people.”
In fact, at this moment, Tao Ju's thought was: At this stage, the person who worries Zuo Tai the most may be Governor Wu. But if Pava can really kill Governor Wu, maybe the first person who is unwilling is Mrs. Zuo - they
The two have formed an inseparable union.
Unless, unless the overall situation in the twelve regions changes significantly, the strength of the grass-roots kings in each area is imbalanced, external pressure subsides, and internal conflicts arise...
Thinking of this, Tao Ju suddenly froze for a moment and thought of a possibility: "Can you help them fight from the outside?"
"It's not impossible." Pava's response was still very flexible. "Of course, I also hope that Mrs. Zuo can give a sincere response in time. You can tell her these words as they are. Well, it doesn't matter if you modify them. It's just
Remember, I want a response."
"Well……"
"As soon as possible, if I can't find her, I can still look for you. We are partners, aren't we?"
There is no doubt that this is a warning, telling Tao Ju not to think about burning bridges across rivers.
In fact, Tao Ju didn't mean this. He needed some capital very much now, and Pava was an option that he basically couldn't replace in a short time. Moreover, the "Orange Palace Guards" did not directly hand him over to Song Peng and his gang before, but instead
Bringing him back and treating him politely proved that Mrs. Zuo didn't care about "Pava" or this matter.
Even quite interested.
He just wanted to ask for more information or bargain, but Pava hung up the communication directly.
Tao Ju faced another problem.
It's one thing for Zuo Tai to be interested. It's another thing for him to explain that Pava is by his side and cooperating with him. Of course it's right for him to bite people to death without knowing anything about it, but if Zuo is
The Queen still said this, which is the way to die.
But then again, there should be a relatively tactful way of saying it.
If we add the information required by Pawar, misinterpretation may occur if not done correctly.
How to speak, to say nice things, to say clear and useful things, almost made Tao Ju's hair turn gray with worry.
While it was still dark and Mrs. Zuo hadn't gotten up yet, he pulled out his notepad, simulated possible verbal situations when communicating with Mrs. Zuo, and considered each word and every sentence.
After thinking about it, I don’t know how time has passed.
It wasn't until Aunt Hu walked into the suite again that he woke up. Subconsciously thinking that Mrs. Zuo had arrived, he stood up and tidied up his somewhat messy clothes. He took a moment to glance at the time and realized that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.
However, he was obviously overthinking it. Behind Aunt Hu was not Mrs. Zuo, but the servant pushing the dining cart.
Aunt Hu is a plain-looking middle-aged woman, dressed plainly, so she doesn't feel awkward when she appears in the vegetable market. However, whether she was in the "Orange Palace" back then or here now, she is always on the left.
Tai's confidant is the window to the outside world.
When Governor Wu faced this person, he would probably call her "Sister Hu", let alone Tao Ju.
"Aunt Hu, this..."
"It's getting late, so I've prepared some simple meals for the eighth young master to fill his stomach."
"Ah, Aunt Hu, Mrs. Zuo..."
"My wife has woken up and is talking to the fourth lady."
"With my mom?"
This is a situation that Tao Ju never expected. With Ms. Rong Wuxiang's current mental state, what can be said about it?
Well, maybe Mrs. Zuo really didn't want to talk about it.
s??????.???
"Then I..."
Tao Ju wanted to say something else, but under Aunt Hu's quiet and indifferent gaze, he was unable to say it in the end. He could only thank her and ate some porridge.
Of course Aunt Hu would not wait for him, so she turned around and went out again. After about half an hour, she brought people in again, cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, and said to him by the way: "The Fourth Madam was too frightened and is in very bad health now. Madam
I just wanted to let the fourth lady take care of her here for a while. After all, there are not many old people left in those days, and I really don’t want to think that in the end, there won’t even be anyone to talk to.”
Tao Ju was stunned, but his heart was pounding!
I listened to Aunt Hu's expressionless face as she continued: "Eighth Young Master, you are in the army and have strict discipline. My wife will not stay here. You should rest assured that the fourth lady is here."
Aunt Hu's statements are actually quite strange: the "Four Madams" are the Grand Consul Tao Yang, which is the order of his biological father when he was alive; and the "Eighth Young Master" is the order of Consul Wu's relatives and godsons, respectively.
It's just that much to listen to, but it's particularly awkward to get together.
Well, it's like Mrs. Zuo's current position.
"Then, then I..."
Tao Ju's heart was beating wildly, but under Aunt Hu's gaze, he did not dare to refuse or say any unnecessary words, and walked out in a daze. Halfway through, he thought of Pava's thin face and his clear expression.
Threatened, his body shook and then stopped.
However, Aunt Hu predicted his reaction and continued: "My wife said that the Fourth Madam should take good care of her health and stay here for a longer period of time. During this period, the Eighth Young Master should come to visit frequently to maintain the family relationship between mother and son.
"
This is what you want!
Tao Ju clenched his fist hard, his vision was dim and his heart burst with ecstasy.
He suppressed his almost out-of-control joy and nodded repeatedly: "That's natural, that's natural!"
At this moment, all the disasters, worries and confusions from last night to now have been washed away by the wave of positive emotions, and they seem to become insignificant.
Even though Mrs. Zuo still hasn't met him, this attitude is already quite clear.
Perhaps this is the most appropriate response that Zuo Tai, who is in this awkward position, can give!
At least, that's what Tao Ju thinks.
Tao Ju also further extended his thinking: he was able to obtain such "support" partly because he was an "old man" and a bloodline of the great consul Tao Yang. Zuo Tai had no children, if he really wanted to face
Doesn’t it mean that Wu Zhiyi needs a starting point like him to exert his strength?
Although there are still a few people like him in East 824 District, they are basically useless, but he is still the more outstanding one.
After last night, it seemed to be even better.
In the past, this was the way to die, but if you can get Zuo Tai's support, it is very likely that Wu will enter a state of "wanting to kill but unable to kill". That is the key to his ability to escape death.
Thinking about it this way, Pawar's statement is really correct: when others want to accuse you, you'd better be able to reproduce that crime.
Well, the ability to reappear the crime under many traps.
In fact, it is the ability to flip the table.
Tao Ju himself doesn't have it, so he must have Pava as his partner...at least for now.
Thinking of this, he had already walked out of Zuo Tai's villa courtyard. The SUV that drove into Orange Palace last night was parked on the roadside. Tao Ju got in the car and then thought that he promised his partner, well, he promised Pava.
Things haven't been done yet, and those words haven't been conveyed to the right place yet.
Thinking about the threat on the other side, his hair stood on end. He subconsciously wanted to open the door and get out of the car again, but he realized that he had no chance from the beginning to the end.
Then he realized something else:
He was happy too early!
Mrs. Zuo asked him to go back to work, but the place where he went to work was the military camp, which was the base of Wu's administration.
If he goes back now, wouldn't he be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth again?
Even if you don't go back, there are not many places where you can stand in the huge central city of Dong824 District.
Think about the worse situation: What if Song Peng or someone else comes to arrest him again, even if he uses Zuo Tai's name, will it really work?
Will Mrs. Zuo's "authority" really make President Wu stop?
Would Mrs. Zuo protect him unconditionally like this?
Yes, Mrs. Zuo asked Aunt Hu to send a message asking him to come back often to "reunite mother and son", but if he didn't even have the strength to come and go freely and just let people find some excuse to invite him to tea, how could Mrs. Zuo still do it?
Can you send the Orange Palace Guards back to protect him?
Where does that leave Mrs. Zuo’s dignity?
If Tao Ju is really so unable to help him, everything is empty talk. The most he can do is help him take care of his neurotic mother...
So this is another test.
Tao Ju patted the steering wheel. The most important thing now was to communicate with Pava in a timely manner, tell him the progress of the incident, and consolidate the "partner" relationship. At least until Zuo Tai further made his support clear, it must be stable no matter what.
He hurriedly found the number he had called before and dialed back, but the number displayed at this time was an empty number.
