Chapter 612: Secret Talk
The weather is nice in California today.
Although it is already winter, the temperature is not low due to the influence of the ocean.
But the old man sitting in the wheelchair, not wearing much clothes, just got off the warm car, saw the cold wind, and couldn't help shivering.
"Mr. McDonnell, would you like me to prepare a shawl for you?" The sharp-eyed Jiang Qilan naturally did not miss it. He asked with concern, "The wind is a bit cold today."
"-Just call me Lucian," the old man smiled and shook his head, "I can still bear this kind of cold--and I think cold or hunger will help keep my brain awake."
Jiang Qilan agreed.
Lucian was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the scenery in the manor, and praised: "Although Mr. Fang is young, he has good taste - the manor is decorated in a very stylish way."
Jiang Qilan naturally said a few words of modesty.
There is a rather long road from the manor gate to the building complex.
But the two of them did not stay silent. They discussed the weather in California and this year's grape harvest. They talked with each other in a very harmonious manner, not like they were meeting for the first time.
The silver-haired woman remained silent. She pushed the wheelchair quietly, carefully avoiding all the cracks in the bricks that might cause the wheelchair to bump, and controlling the speed appropriately.
The butler of the manor looked at his master with admiration - the butler was a loyal fan of Lucian. When he saw him, his heartbeat and blood pressure soared with excitement, but he did not dare to say a word to his idol and could only follow him with fanatical eyes. Looking at Lucian's back.
But his young master showed no sign of timidity and spoke generously.
The butler was even more convinced of his young master.
Soon, they arrived at the main building, and Jiang Qilan led the guests into the living room.
The fireplace in the living room has been lit, and the flames are jumping, heating the room.
There was a fruit plate on the table, and the fruits carefully selected and washed by the servants were stacked here and there. Lucian keenly discovered that the place where the chair should have been placed on one side of the table was empty——
This is the location for his wheelchair.
"Heidi, please push me over there." Lucian ordered.
Heidi, the silver-haired woman, pushed the old man to the side of the table with the empty chair.
"What do you want to drink?" Jiang Qilan asked.
Lucian handed the cashmere throw to Heidi and replied: "Earl Gray tea - although I would like to drink some whiskey to warm my freezing body, I'm afraid my doctor will not allow me to do so."
The butler quickly placed the brewed Earl Gray tea on a plate and brought it over.
The tea sets are arranged.
After Lucian thanked the housekeeper, he said to Jiang Qilan, "Can you ask your servant to wait outside?"
"Of course." Jiang Qilan said.
He waved his hand to the butler: "You go and wait outside."
The butler and servants bowed and retired.
The old man picked up the white porcelain tea cup and took a sip of black tea. The warm tea liquid rolled down his throat, and he let out a comfortable sigh.
After finishing the cup of tea, Lucian put the cup on the tray and said to the silver-haired woman: "Heidi, give us some private space to talk."
Heidi whispered, "Yes, sir."
Jiang Qilan thought Lucien asked her to leave.
However, Heidi walked to the door of the living room, did not open the door and left, but locked the door.
Then, she returned to the side of the living room and took out a black box from her pocket - and took out a folded silver cloth from inside.
She touched a rope, tugged hard, and then flicked it - the silver cloth immediately bounced up, and then, a tent appeared in the open space of the living room.
The rectangular silver tent is quite tall and can accommodate at least seven or eight adults.
Jiang Qilan knew silver tents - these tents can shield all electromagnetic signals and are usually widely used on battlefields to avoid enemy monitoring.
But he let his face show confusion, looked at the silver tent, and asked Lucian: "What is this? What do you mean?"
Lucien smiled and said nothing.
Heidi took out another handheld computer from her pocket, typed in a few lines of code, and stared at the screen.
After about ten seconds, a line of "Execution Completed" feedback message appeared on the screen.
Then she respectfully said to Lucian: "Sir, the signal jammer is activated and confirmed to be operating normally."
Lucien said to Jiang Qilan: "Mr. Fang, please come with me to the tent to chat."
Jiang Qilan hesitated and did not move.
Lucien raised his head, looked at the ceiling somewhere, and said calmly: "If the United Freemasonry has any questions about my move, feel free to come to me——"
After speaking, he patted Heidi's hand on the handle of the wheelchair and motioned for her to push him into the tent.
Heidi touched one side of the tent and pulled it, revealing the inside of the tent - this kind of tent door has a magnetic suction type.
The tent was very high, and Heidi, a person of her stature, did not have to bend down as she pushed her wheelchair into the tent.
Jiang Qilan waited for the two of them to enter the tent, and then followed them in.
Heidi moved a chair in for Jiang Qilan, and then carefully checked the gaps in the tent to make sure they were tightly closed before returning to stand behind the old man's wheelchair.
Lucien looked straight at Jiang Qilan, putting away his previous gentle expression.
He asked in a rather stern tone: "Mr. Fang, who are you? Which country are you from? What is the purpose of joining the United Free Trade Union?"
