Chapter 2087 Chi Kana: There is a problem with Xizi
The three of them returned along the road, with Chi Feichi leading the way based on his memory, and restored the secret doors on the road one by one, without using the secret code Chi Zhennosuke had left before.
Along the way, Ikekana explained the entrances and exits of the secret escape passage, the mechanisms, and the methods of opening and closing the mechanisms, so that both Ike Feichi and Ike Shinosuke could remember them firmly.
"As far as I know, the mechanisms of the secret escape tunnel are very solidly designed, and there will be no problems if they are used for decades," Chi Janai said, looking up at Chi Feichi who was walking in front, "But wait,
If the castle still exists when you are thirty or forty years old, it will probably need some maintenance."
"If nothing else happens, by that time, Umbrella's technology will have developed to a stronger level, and the mechanism can be improved along the way," Ike Shinnosuke thought, "In fact, it can be done in two years. Umbrella has passed
Two years of technology is enough to support repairs and improvements."
"That's right," Ikegana agreed symbolically, and then said, "However, I think it is also important to maintain traditions. If possible, let's keep the organization as it is. Although change is important, some traditions cannot be discarded.
, don’t always think about change like the Americans. After all, they really don’t have much history to dig into. If they had, they would have started to preach the spirit of protecting cultural relics long ago..."
Chi Zhennosuke, Chi Feichi: "..."
This wave of darkness is so...reasonable.
Seeing the silence of the father and son, Ikegana continued to win their support, "We don't lack this place to live. These old institutions are mainly made of stone slabs and iron wood. They will become even rarer in the future. If they are left behind, they can be used as large antique collections."
…”
Chi Feichi heard the incitement in his mother's words and expressed his opinion, "I have no objection."
"Me neither." Chi Zhenzhi said.
Ikeana breathed a sigh of relief and remembered another thing, "Speaking of the United States... Mr. Yukiko and Yusaku have settled in the United States before, right? Do you think their behavior after arriving in London is strange?"
"The relationship between the couple is very good. After getting married, Ms. Yukiko retired from the entertainment industry and concentrated on taking care of her husband's life. Judging from some reports tracking Mr. Yusaku's traces, the couple always appeared in the same place.
It's as good as Siamese people, even if they are separated, it won't last long," Ike Shinnosuke analyzed calmly, "Mr. Yusaku is staying in London to investigate Hades. He is a dangerous person, and he still has something in his hands.
There is a bomb, and Mr. Yusaku may not be safe. I have been thinking that Ms. Yukiko would stay with her husband in London. I thought that maybe I could help, so she would not be in the mood to play, and would follow us.
She came to the castle, but after she got here, she showed little concern for Mr. Yusaku. She was still distracted on the night of the explosion in the hospital, which shows that their husband and wife have not had any conflicts recently..."
"Yeah, it's really strange. I thought Yukiko would stay in London to accompany Mr. Yusaku, and she also asked me about the servants at home, like how they were recruited and how many people were needed to clean such a big castle.
, who is responsible for these things when we don't live here... I don't think she just wants to buy a big house with her husband and is making preparations in advance. She and Mr. Yusaku are life streamliners..." Ikeana's mouth showed.
A soft smile, but her eyes were full of shrewdness, "I think she is investigating, and the target of the investigation is Jane. If you think about it carefully, her questions will always involve Jane or something related to Jane."
Chi Feichi: "..."
It's good, his parents are not easy to fool at all.
"Did you give her answers to all the things she asked about?" Ike Shinnosuke asked.
"Because I thought it didn't matter, I told her," Ikegana recalled. "When we were in London, she asked why Jane left. And Jane's resignation a few years ago was not something that couldn't be done.
The secret I mentioned was that when we were playing at the London Eye, she asked who was taking care of Fei Chi in Japan. After knowing it was Jane, she asked me why I kept Jane and whether I trusted Jane. I told her frankly that Jane is a
A serious and responsible person, but not too doting on Fei Chi. I really believe that Jane can take good care of Fei Chi. After arriving at the castle tonight, she told me about her time in a British aristocratic family during dinner.
She has always hired local servants. She asked me if the previous servants in my family were all hired from local people. I also told her directly that when the Field family hired servants, they always selected them from the residents of the town.
In the past, it was because the Field family needed to provide jobs for the residents of the town. As for now, it is because I think the people in the town and the Field family have been neighbors for many years. They have been neighbors for generations. Everyone has basic trust. It is better than looking for someone outside.
Much more, this is not a secret..."
Chi Feichi slowed down and said, "She must have also asked whether Jane's home is also in the town, where exactly it is, and what Jane's home is like."
This is what he wants to know too.
"Yes," Ikekana smiled with emotion and said slowly, "When I was studying in London, when I came home one day, I noticed that there was a new young maid who looked about the same age as me.
She was about the same age, so I paid close attention to her. She had just arrived not long ago, and she was still a bit unfamiliar with greeting and taking care of people, but there was nothing wrong with her. I felt that she was working hard, but she was so rigid.
The look of Zhang Lian working hard in silence was also very cute. After getting acquainted with her, I asked her if she was used to it here and which family she was from. Jane also told me some things about her family... Jane's father is from the town.
After that, he left his hometown and went to university in London, where he got married and started a business. During those years, his father occasionally took his wife back to the town to stay with her. However, when she was thirteen years old, her father
The investment failed, she lost all her family property, and she owed a lot of debt. Her mother took her away from her father. Not long after that, her father committed suicide. She has always regretted it, thinking about what if she had chosen
When she was with her father, her father wouldn't have trouble thinking about it. In fact, it's not her fault. She was only thirteen years old at the time. Such a big change had happened in her family. She must have been shocked, confused and overwhelmed. She felt that the world
It collapsed in an instant. If her father behaved more depressed, she could only rely on her mother and would tend to follow her mother to fill the suddenly collapsed sense of security in her heart. At least it depends on her mother's choice, which one can
People who calm down quickly..."
Chi Feichi listened quietly to Chi Janai's words.
These past events of Jane's were probably only heard from Ikekana after his maternal grandparents passed away.
With Jane's character and current determination, even if he asked these questions, he would probably talk about it in a few sentences in an understatement. After all, Jane is no longer the little girl who was worried about family changes.
Perhaps after the accident at home, Jane grew up rapidly. The year she arrived at the Field family may have been the last period in which her true feelings could be revealed.
Jane must not have been twenty years old at that time, and he could more or less imagine the process of Jane being captured by Ikegana's sunny smile, caring understanding, and gentle comfort.
He has always felt that Ikegana has a heavy weight in Jane's heart, and he can understand it.
The two of them are about the same age. They knew each other when they were girls. Perhaps they have shared the sorrows and joys of girls with each other. They have accompanied each other through those times when they may have been anxious, sad and troubled. Their friendship is no better than that of following Ikana all the time.
How different is Lydia?
Neither he nor the original consciousness has ever heard the story between the two before, and the mood of the characters in the story is even more unpredictable.
Just like those who have Jane's memories, if they are not in the story, it is difficult to feel the emotions that have been accumulated over a long time.
He didn't know if Jane would betray that person, but he thought Jane would not hurt Ikegana.
Even if it was just his intuition.
"Probably when she was fifteen years old, her mother found a new boyfriend and decided to follow him to live in the United States. She always regretted her father's decision to give up. At that time, she finally had a dispute with her mother. Finally, her mother
She left the UK as planned, and she chose to go back to the place where her father was born and grew up. She wanted to see her father's growth trajectory, so she came to work as a maid in the Field family, and she usually lives in the town," Ikekana said lightly.
Sighing softly, "When she first came here for more than a year, we were walking in the garden on a sunny afternoon. She said that she hated her mother's calmness. After her father had nothing and was heavily in debt, that woman immediately
Thinking that the mother and son could not be implicated, and perhaps for the sake of her future, they immediately filed for divorce from her father and fought for her custody. Her mother explained her thoughts to her before leaving the UK, and she could understand her mother
She was kind to her, but she still found it difficult to accept that all this would come at the cost of her father's life..."
"If I were her father, I think I would be very pleased that my wife could make such a wise choice," Ike Shinosuke paused, "Actually, her father committed suicide, not necessarily because he was resentful of his wife and daughter leaving, but it could also be that he committed suicide.
...I want to end the trouble here."
"Maybe, but people are emotional creatures, and it is difficult to escape the self-blame, annoyance, and sadness in their hearts. She always has someone to complain to to support her through the misfortune brought by fate," Ikeana said
Thinking of her resentment towards her mother, she felt a little dazed for a moment, and then quickly continued, "She said she didn't want her father to be infamy after his death, so she decided to pay off the debt owed by her father. Considering that her father was dead, the creditor
They also helped her deduct the interest. I thought about lending her money, but she refused. She seemed to be doing some part-time job. Occasionally she would bring some books back from town to copy. I helped hide these things from others.
, when I am not at home, I will also lend her my room for her to use when she works part-time."
Chi Feichi tried to find the time when Jane joined the organization from these past events.
After Jane arrived at the Field's house, she encountered almost no major events that could change the trajectory of her life. Most of her life was smooth, at least in the Field's house.
So, the point in Jane's life when she joined the organization was after Jane's father committed suicide due to debt? After Jane's mother left the UK? Or while she was working part-time?
No matter what, it is inseparable from the family accident that occurred when Jane was thirteen years old. During the years when Jane was working part-time, she might have been helping the organization.
How easy is it for a little girl to pay off a debt that is enough to drive an investor to death?
