full time security

Zhang Bei, who walked to the entire inner hall of the castle with Ruth and the old housekeeper who was over half a century old, couldn't help but look around. The people in the scene can't help but marvel at the ingenious design here, the security system that has been hidden in the dark, such a castle that integrates 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. .

From various indications, Doyle prefers to pass the position to David who is closely behind him, but looking at the entire domestic history, there are sons and fathers who took the throne, not to mention David and Kurson. relationship!Everything is subject to change, but Zhang Bei always feels that this old man who has been lying on a hospital bed for decades in Los Angeles has already prepared everything and is waiting for someone to drill him!

Of course, feelings are just feelings and cannot represent reality. From the confident attitude of Kusen and the old man, it is not difficult for Zhang Bei to find that the other party has made preparations. Maybe tonight or tomorrow, this place will become the main battlefield for the new king. .

Although David has been very calm and courteous on many occasions, he is absolutely outstanding in front of his peers, but this time his opponent is the old and cunning Kusen. From his pace, Zhang Bei can easily find that this A young man who is only 25 and six years old actually has no idea in his heart.All variables can only be decided after seeing Doyle. .

The main hall where Doyle lives is on the second floor. Walking through the corridor to the second floor, Zhang Bei saw at a glance that there was a pool about [-] square meters in the center of the castle. It's not a shock, but it's creepy when there are dozens of crocodiles lying by the pool with their bloody mouths wide open!

Maybe he felt Zhang Bei's strangeness, or maybe he wanted to relieve the ups and downs in his heart. David, who was walking behind, walked up to Zhang Bei with a stride, and said to him with a sincere smile on his face:

"This is the place where our family enforces the family law. Everyone who betrays the family will be torn into pieces for these crocodiles to eat." Listening to David's inhumane words, Zhang Bei couldn't help trembling a little, as the saying goes Entering a wealthy family is like the sea, and under the premise of high 'income', there is still a heinously high 'pressure'. .

In the following part of the journey, David did not shy away from Zhang Bei standing next to him as an "outsider". Instead, he really regarded him as his "brother-in-law" and patiently introduced him to the entire castle facilities. Security system included!

Zhang Bei is no longer a young man messing around in the society. David’s words revealed some kind of information, maybe he felt it himself. Tonight, he will either win the throne in one fell swoop, or he will be thrown into the crocodile pool , Life and death are only in an instant, but from the current family's internal prestige and connections, everyone knows that Kurson has already 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, with a set of sophisticated instruments and a double bed, that's all.The old Doyle had oxygen tubes in his nostrils, struggling to maintain his last life. His closed eyes slowly opened because the door was opened. When he saw David and Ruth After entering the room, there was a kind smile on his face. As the saying goes, a tiger’s poison does not eat its child. This old man who made many people in Los Angeles and even the East turn pale, showed his kind side at this moment, and slowly stretched out his Although the right hand is still stuck with a drip needle, it may fall off if you are not careful, but the old man is still the same. Ruth, who is walking in the front, rushed over first. This woman who has no intention of getting involved in the power struggle within the family, in this Sometimes, she has to be involved, life or death, her fate is the same as that of David, maybe give Doyle a period of time, he can definitely handle everything, but everything is too sudden, suddenly let anyone Not ready. .

"Grandpa..." Ruth's voice had already started to choke, and Ruth, who was buried in Doyle's arms, was no longer as unrestrained as before, and sobbed like an ordinary child, wanting to keep her loved ones!

Doyle stroked her golden hair, and replied with some difficulty:

"Why cry? Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the rule." After saying this, Doyle slowly raised his eyes, staring directly at Zhang Bei who was standing with David, his face was a little more stern , a little less smile!

"I've always been against oriental people, I really hope this time it's my granddaughter who used a fake boyfriend to fool me, but just now the housekeeper told me everything that happened outside, boy, no matter what the purpose is , you can be regarded as my granddaughter's first real boyfriend, don't hurt her, otherwise..." Doyle was obviously too excited when he was speaking, and then, before he finished speaking, he coughed violently, when Lu When Si and David hurried forward to help him, they blurted out blood drops scattered on the white back like sporadic light rain. Doyle, with a pale face, held David's hand tightly, his eyes widened, his mouth One by one, it was obvious that there was still a lot to say, but the doctor who was stationed urgently drove the others out, leaving only the attending doctor, the 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 happened from time to time, but they were stopped by other elders of the family!Standing aside, Zhang Bei looked at David and Ruth sympathetically, and looked sideways to the outside of the hall. Perhaps, as he thought, tonight would really not be peaceful. .

. . . .

When everyone left the room, the attending physician became less flustered and slowly dispensed Doyle's medicine, while the lawyer, who was usually respectful and respectful, the old housekeeper, who was lying on the desk writing something, seemed to have changed at this time. Like a person, he straightened his back, pulled up the stool beside the bed, and sat directly beside Doyle, which would have been absolutely impossible in normal times. .

Doyle's own physique made Doyle resist the cough, and the boss with waiting eyes looked at the old man who had been loyal to him beside him, pointed at him, opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something. .

"Master, after all, I have been with you for nearly 40 years. Before you took over the position of patriarch, the two of us have endured hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine. I remember that at the beginning, you followed many brothers and The person on the elder’s corpse, you told me at that time that you must not have the kindness of a woman, this is the law of survival!” At this point, the housekeeper took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of Doyle’s mouth. Wen Wuwen's angry eyes continued to say:

"In the past 40 years, I have to say that you have done a good job, brought the whole family into orbit, and successfully linked up with the government, making the current Rodriguez family even stronger. However, the master asked himself, you have given the master Slave what? Apart from the scarred body and the memories of indelible regret, what else does the old slave have? I gave up the family for you, and I gave up the years for you, but, in the end, it was all in vain. Take a step, but what did you leave me? Nothing, right? If, if it weren’t for your sudden illness, maybe in order to support David’s unwavering superiority, I would die before you, right? After all, I am Old man, I am familiar with everything here, and even more so the Rodriguez family's private transaction accounts. You are afraid that I will take over the power.

As the saying goes, people do not destroy themselves, I am old, I really want to spend the rest of my life in peace, but I need money, a lot of money, enough money for me to disappear into this world quietly. "After the old butler finished speaking, the doctor who prepared the medicine walked behind the old butler with a sinister smile, and the old butler who saw all this continued with a little smile:

"After this injection, master, you are really free. You are dying. I really don't want to lie to you anymore. As early as two years ago, I had already negotiated the price with the second master. I know that the master Your heart is not good, so over the years, I have added an extra dose of medicine to your medicine to speed up your condition. Speaking of this, I think you should understand what I mean! Yes, yes, this Bureau, Erye and I have been designing for two years, and we are waiting for this day. Don’t get excited, you won’t die yet, because you still need to press your fingerprint. After the lawyer finishes the re-drafted suicide note, your fingerprint will be needed. And draw a bet. Otherwise, who will pay my reward?"

. . .

Snowflakes like goose feathers fluttered down the window in the hall. Ruth, who had lost her mind, was now hiding in Zhang Bei's arms like a girl next door. Here, maybe this is the only one she has known for less than two days. It was the man who made her feel safe. She was still sobbing, staring at the tightly closed door until the old butler opened the door in grief and came out, 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 lying quietly on the hospital bed, her body was still warm, but had lost vitality, her old cheeks were stiff, and everything After Doyle let go and left, it became weird. It wasn't Ruth who cried the most, but Kusen who hurried from outside, but she was the one who cried most earnestly. .

When the lawyer stood in front of everyone with the drafted will and read out the tampered paper, and listened to the property distribution in the will, David's face was pale at this moment, and he looked very powerless, because in the will, his The pre-allocated shares will be handed over to Kurson to take care of, which means that from now on, David only has the right to pay dividends, but not the right to speak. If Wei and Ruth die unexpectedly, the inheritance distributed by the two will be taken over by Kurson, which means that if the two die now, there will be no election at all, and Kurson will become the next patriarch. .

Although this will is full of loopholes, it is now dead without proof. Seeing Cusen take over the will with his trembling hands, and say some high-sounding things in a dignified way, many relatives of the Rodriguez family know that from now on Since then, the Rodriguez family has changed. .

A few people who were a little emotional jumped out to question the authority of this will. However, just after he finished speaking, the originally cold pistol became hot, and the barrel became warm after firing bullets. The two jumping clowns who fell to the ground just lay straight on the ground, while the old butler who was in charge of the family's internal security system watched all this indifferently. .
