“Damn it, I get into an argument with him every time.” Allen leaned back on his seat with a depressed look on his face, and the helicopter had already taken off.
Xu Chuan comforted each other, "It's normal. I also have a cousin like this. I want to beat him every time. But if you fight with Ke Wen, I will definitely help you deal with him."
Sheila sat aside and pushed him gently. There were more than three of them on the plane, so it would be bad if the news reached the ears over there.
Xu Chuan looked at her and smiled. This woman meant well but was too careful. Ke Wen and he were not on the same path and could not be friends. In their minds, they were either friends or enemies, so they were not careful. There is no difference.
But this woman’s attitude is very correct and she should be rewarded.
The helicopter started to land within fifteen minutes of flying, which was shorter than the time it took them to get from the hotel to the airport. It was like taking off their pants and farting.
The Fauci family's manor is located at the junction of Maryland and Pennsylvania. The manor is surrounded by a large area of green space, and there seems to be a large lake behind it. Xu Chuan made a little estimate, and based on the width and depth of the entire manor, A frontal defense requires at least two infantry companies.
Tsk, tsk, **** rich people.
The helicopter landed on the helipad in front of the manor, and the Fauci brothers and sisters were already waiting aside.
This was the first time the two families met, and Coven and Mason acted like old friends.
The Margo Fuch stood quietly beside Calliope and hugged each other, looking like a lady, but Xu Chuan had seen her artistic photos and was really indifferent to her current appearance.
The members of both families are well dressed, but compared to the formal suits worn by Allen and Coven, the Fuchs brothers and sisters are more casually dressed.
But the color was just as Xu Chuan thought, either beige, gray or black, which made his eyes darken.
After a few people exchanged meaningless greetings, they had some business exchanges. Xu Chuan held Xue La's waist and walked behind, "You don't like black?" Xue La asked him in a low voice, this guy's His eyes were full of disgust.
“Who said it, I like black stockings very much.”
“Ha” Sheila couldn’t help but laughed.
Everyone cast curious glances at them. Xue La showed an awkward smile for the first time in her life because she was the center of attention, while Xu Chuan just spread his hands and said, "Go on, what are you looking at me for?" "
He has just watched the beginning of such a wealthy drama, don't stop.
The eyes of several people were different, and Allen had a suppressed smile on his face. It was just right to bring him here.
Although the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Kewen remained unchanged, there was mockery in their eyes.
The expressions on the faces of the Fauci brothers and sisters were equally exciting, but more of a curiosity.
The group walked into the classical-looking house in the center of the manor. It was much warmer than outside.
One word that stands out for the decoration in the house is simplicity. Even a layman like Xu Chuan can tell that some furniture and furnishings are from the Victorian era.
Well, including the carpet under their feet, the owner of this house is showing off in this luxurious and low-key way.
In this case, Xu Chuan of course rubbed the soles of his shoes **** the carpet, rubbing all the dust and mud accumulated along the way onto the carpet.
As the owner of this place, Mason is of course obliged to show his family's history. He held a glass filled with whiskey and said, "Welcome to the Fudge family's cabin. I must introduce to you the special whiskey made by the Fudge family. Believe me, this was brewed specifically for Abraham Lincoln by my great-great-great-grandfather.”
Several people exclaimed, and Young Master Xu couldn't figure out what to say, "Lincoln couldn't stand up from the memorial hall to refute, right?" ’
In his opinion, this is as speechless as inviting people to eat fried noodles in the capital and then saying that the recipe for our sauce comes from the 16th century.
It’s simply that the more something is missing, the more they talk about it. No matter how they push forward, they can only reach the May flower at most.
Xue La took a sip and her eyes lit up. She seemed to feel pretty good, but Xu Chuan didn't have this good fortune. He couldn't drink.
The meeting between two families or two interest groups is actually the same all over the world. They must find ways to overpower the other party no matter what. This is to pave the way for what will happen next. Whoever shows weakness will be at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations.
Now it seems that the Allen family is clearly at a disadvantage. This upstart with only fifty years of history is a bit timid in front of Fuch, a century-old family.
Coven, the so-called heir, is actually clueless. He is far worse than Mason, who seems a bit neurotic. He can't pick up some topics at all, and the conversation between his wife and Marge is completely suppressed. After all, it's not who he is. They all like classical literature.
While Allen acted like the matter had nothing to do with him, Xu Chuan knew that in fact this person had nothing to offer, whether it was literature or art.
Xu Chuan leaned against the wall next to the window with a cup and enjoyed watching the show. It was much better than a soap opera. He wrote down all their conversations so that he would have material for the next TV series.
Xuela was also included in the topic group by Ma. Unexpectedly, she knew more about literature than Kewen and his wife. At least she didn't answer the question, which surprised Xu Chuan. .
“Mr. Grylls, does the wine not taste right?” Mason finally turned his attention to Xu Chuan.
Picked up the cup and said, "Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol."
Alan on the side interrupted and said, "That's right, this guy doesn't usually touch alcohol."
"Sorry, it was my mistake." Mason apologized politely, and then asked the servant to prepare a glass of water.
Xu Chuan waved to the servant, "Don't bother, just give me a bottle of Coke, please add ice."
Allan was on the side, "Bring me another bottle of beer, thank you." Following the example, this man also began to let himself go.
Ke Wen sat on the sofa and his face darkened. The youngest brother in the family was really worried.
“It seems that I have neglected the guests.” Mason apologized. This guy was wearing a high-neck sweater and glasses on his face. His temperament was very artistic even without being sick.
“No, I’m looking outside. Is there a horse farm over there?” Xu Chuan asked, pointing to a fence in the distance.
“Marg raised a few ponies, and she likes to ride horses.” Mason said with a smile on his face, “I am different, I like to raise pigs.”
No matter how the other party tried to hide it, Xu Chuan still felt a little nervous.
While they were saying all kinds of insincere words and conducting various tests, Dr. Hannibal was driving a car equipped with a tracker to Somerville, Virginia again.
He was busy all night yesterday and returned to Baltimore early this morning under the cover of darkness. He used some means to hypnotize the FBI intern Miriam Russ.
After more than a year of training, this intern girl's mental world had long ago collapsed. This time, Hannibal reorganized her collapsed mental world like building blocks.
And these were just to give the person in the dark a surprise. He felt that since the other person had installed a tracker, he would of course monitor his whereabouts in real time. This time he suddenly went to Virginia, and the other person would definitely follow him.
It's just that the accident came by such a coincidence. Young Master Xu was destined not to see the gift he carefully prepared this time.
After more than two hours of driving, Hannibal arrived at his destination. He kept observing the cars on the road, but did not find any suspicious vehicles.
‘It doesn’t seem to be easy to deal with. ’ After getting out of the car and walking towards the cabin, he firmly believed that the other party must be monitoring him in some way. Time passed by, and it took almost four hours for the elegant Mr. Ogre to go from being calm at the beginning to being restless now.
There was no change in the surrounding environment, no cars or people appeared, only the biting cold wind blew across the valley.
‘Did you be exposed last night? This is impossible. ’ Hannibal fell into deep self-doubt.
No matter what, he is now very sure that no one is following him, which means that all his so-called plans and little surprises have failed. This feeling is really not good.
Hannibal came out of the cabin and walked to his car. He could only tell himself that it was an accident.
Getting into the car and turning the key, the engine made a buzzing sound, then turned off. I tried it a few more times, but the result was the same.
“What the fuck?” Dr. Hannibal said a rare swear word.
This is not a bustling city center, where you can hail a taxi just by waving. This is the forest of Somerville. Hannibal slapped the steering wheel hard, and the elegance on his body was completely gone. "Damn, what the hell."
At this time, Xu Chuan was helping Xila to ride a black horse in the Fuchi family's horse farm.
Xu Chuan raised the rein in his hand and said to the nervous woman, "Don't worry, I'm holding it?"
"How is that possible? It tried to bite me just now." Sheila said with lingering fear.
“Don’t worry, he won’t do it now.” After saying that, he stretched out his hand and slapped the horse on the head, with such force that the purebred racehorse snorted, “You think so?”
Seeing that the horse didn't respond, Xu Chuan slapped him again, "Speak!"
Sheila couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop bullying it. How can it talk?"
“This guy is very smart. He bullies the weak and fears the strong.” It’s hard to understand why you can see in the eyes of a horse race the emotions of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Xiao, you must have worn the wrong clothes.
Not only Sheila, but also Allen was trying to prevent himself from using violence on a horse, "Brother, this is a good horse. What you are doing is completely wrong."
"The IQ of mature horses is equivalent to that of a seven-year-old human child. They have their own emotions, and they can be jealous, jealous, and comfort people." The speaker was Margot Fuchs, who expressed her feelings for this racecourse in Xuchuan. When they were interested, she promptly offered to take them to visit.
This happened to be an opportunity, so he, Sheila and Allen left the room that always made people uncomfortable.
This woman was well-educated. She stroked the horse's neck, and then the horse tilted its neck and rubbed against her. It was obvious that she was expressing her grievances. She was really into a spirit.
Xu Chuan led the horse around the racecourse. In fact, there was a dedicated person in charge here, so Xuela would not be in danger at all.
"You can do it yourself?" Xu Chuan handed the reins to Xue La, who was already impatient. She felt really stupid being led by someone.
“Of course, I’ve learned it too.”
“When did you learn it?”
“When I was seven or eight years old.”
Xu Chuan’s mouth twitched, he hugged the horse’s neck directly and said in its ear, “You are very smart, right? Remember then, run slower, otherwise I will kill you.”
He clearly felt the horse trembling, "Oh, do you really understand?" He just tried, but he didn't really think it was that smart.
Looking at the horse racing that was already trotting, Xu Chuan was confused, but Mag and Allen seemed to be chatting happily. Horse racing seemed to be a good topic.
Xu Chuan tilted his head. He planned to see if Allen could get the person back.
Sheila had a lot of fun. It seemed that she had indeed learned to ride a horse. After being unfamiliar at the beginning, she quickly became proficient. Mag also became interested and asked someone to bring out another horse and get on it.
"How is it?" Seeing the two women having a great time, Xu Chuan found Allen. After all, this time it was nominally a blind date for him.
This guy scratched his hair, "I'm not sure, this woman is different from other people I know. She is independent, smart and has her own ideas. She is a very attractive woman, but the problem is that she likes women."
Xu Chuan was stunned after hearing his answer, and then looked at Mag, who was teaching Xue La how to control the horse, with a dark look on his face, "Isn't this Bichi planning to poach me?"
“Ha, it seems you need to be more careful.”
If she succeeds in this, she will be humiliated.
…
The entire meeting ended successfully in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere between the two families. Both parties seemed very satisfied with the meeting.
Kevin Wayne still had a lot of work to deal with and couldn't stay here too long. He left Fudge Manor by helicopter after lunch. In the afternoon, Allen also found an opportunity to say goodbye.
Mag and Sheila unexpectedly got on well with each other and proposed to go to Baltimore with them, which made Master Xu wary.
Mason's mood became very bad after Mag made this request. Xu Chuan could see that this guy had been suppressing his emotions, but he finally agreed.
Marge then packed a suitcase and boarded the plane with them.
The two women were talking quietly together, seemingly talking about Sheila's latest album. Xu Chuan had reason to believe that Ms. Marge had specially searched for it on the Internet. He didn't believe that this woman had heard of it.
Xu Chuan and Allen communicated with their eyes, but the other party didn't know what this woman meant.
Xu Chuan was just joking about prying the corner, this woman is actually very measured.
After they all returned to the hotel, Xu Chuan suddenly received a call. He found a deserted place to answer the call, "Oh, did the assistant finally remember me as the boss?"
On the other side of the phone is Alex Alexandra Udinov, whom I haven't contacted for a while. This little girl didn't leave the organization at first, but now she has become Amanda's right-hand man.
"You're such a guy..." Alex couldn't do anything about this person. She knew that she would never win if she just bickered, so she could only ignore the other party's teasing and talk about business, "I know you are in Baltimore, do you have time? I have something to discuss with you."
Xu Chuan held his chin and thought for a while, ruling out one possibility first. The organization probably didn't want to attack him. After all, their black box containing all the secrets was still in Nikita's hand.
“Okay, just tell me a place.”
“No need, I’ll be in the lobby of your hotel.”
Damn, then why are you asking for my opinion?
