Chapter 570: I can't take care of too many people
At seven o'clock in the morning, the passenger ship docked at the pier in Blackwater Town, and Yin Sela was temporarily staying at Hathaway's house. Who knows why these two women became good friends in such a short period of time.
But it also relieved John a lot.
After sending his three daughters back to the manor, he learned that Senator Edwin was not at home, but went to Heishui Town for a meeting, and then left for his own manor.
And informed Hathaway that he would visit her father again at noon tomorrow.
Hathaway nodded nonchalantly and said that she would inform her father.
So John left the manor in peace.
Back at the manor, due to time constraints, most of the people in the manor were absent, only Su Xiaoxiao who helped Mrs. Eva look at the manor, and Triss who was painting on the balcony of the manor.
She was very happy about John's return to the manor, and was full of joy to cook for John the Chinese cuisine she had learned recently.
While she was making preparations, John went to take a shower and then talked to Triss to get a general idea of her recent needs.
But maybe because she personally witnessed the murder of a family a year ago, her desire value is very low.
Nothing is too novel, and the daily necessities required are only practical and durable. What I like most is painting around the ranch all day long, and I don’t go to Heishui Town often.
After briefly exchanging a few words and confirming that she was not autistic, John ran to his stable to have a look. The stable was still some distance away from the castle, about 300 meters away.
He went to look at the white Arabian again, and the difference this time was that the guy was snuggled up next to a tall thoroughbred.
The horse breeder in the stable came over to explain when he saw John.
"Sir~ This thoroughbred horse has the obvious characteristics of Arabian horses, and it should also be a hybrid offspring. The two parties can breed, so there is no need to worry about some possibilities." The horse breeder said.
"Have they ever mated?" John asked about it.
"It should be. Its desire is still very strong, and the thoroughbred horse is also in estrus. When it starts to drive away the thoroughbred horse, it should be pregnant. It should only be a few days." The horse breeder said.
"Well~ when it starts to drive, feed it more nutritious fruits and take good care of it~" John ordered and then checked the horses in the racecourse.
After a brief understanding, Su Xiaoxiao came over and called him to have lunch.
Perhaps because of the news of John's return, some people in the manor rushed back to participate in John's return ceremony, although he didn't leave for too long.
John was quite happy about this, and the feeling of being valued was self-evident, especially for someone from another world like him.
John happily finished lunch with the whole family, and then took a break with Anna, talking about Nick's idea of smuggling high-end alcohol in Saint-Denis.
"My father used to be a businessman with a lot of business. Now he moved to the small town of Grasse, not far from Paris, and bought a vineyard there. He still has some friends who are wine merchants. If he needs it, he will probably be able to find it. Those who can transport those drinks to the port of Los Angeles, but after transporting them there, we may need people from our side to go and take care of them." Anna said beside John.
Anna's father was originally a well-known investment businessman in France, but when Anna was thirteen years old, he lost everything because of a stock investment failure.
But he still took good care of his daughter, and even in that case, he didn't ask Anna to drop out of school and marry (sell) her to a business friend in exchange for some financial support.
After finishing her studies, Anna wanted to come here to find a good job because of the scarcity of high-end talents here, but fate made her encounter a turning point in her life.
After obtaining John's consent, Anna first remitted a "huge sum" of 500 US dollars to her parents to solve their financial situation, and then basically sent the monthly funds back to them, and John did not miss much. Ask Anna to buy more specialty items and send them back.
As a well-known bankrupt businessman, but after receiving monthly feedback from his daughter, he did not regain his strength~ Instead, he brought his wife to buy a vineyard in the small town of Grasse not far from Paris. On the idle life after retirement.
His father is a very capable businessman, and it is very easy to run an ordinary manor. After confirming that the manor has a small profit, he rejected Anna's monthly gifts and only received monthly gifts from the 'son-in-law'. Their sympathy gifts, and some wine from his estate is sent to the two every month.
"That would be the best~ You can write a letter to tell us about the situation here. I will visit Mr. Edwin in the afternoon and see if he has any friends in Los Angeles to transport those things to the port of Saint Denis." John happily turned around and kissed Anna.
And Anna looked at John with a smile.
When John returned to the manor, there were a few more friends in the manor, and Zorn and Derek rarely came to see him together.
"It's been a long time since I've had a drink with you, and I have to say that you're really good at making wine~" Kane said with a smile as he talked about the moonshine that John gave him every month.
"It's okay~ How is Derek doing recently?" John greeted warmly with his arm around Derek's shoulder.
"Well~ not bad, I opened a grocery store in the business district and married a nice woman." Derek talked about his recent status with a casual smile.
"Bring us the manor later to see what the woman Inspector Derek likes looks like." John said jokingly.
"Detective? It happened a long time ago." Derek said with some emotion.
Hearing this sentence, Zuo En also fell silent for a rare moment.
"Let's go see the chief, I haven't been there for a long time." John suggested with some sentimentality, and then went to the cemetery in Heishui Town with the two of them.
When the three of them walked to the cemetery, the sharp-eyed John saw a woman in black standing in front of Leiter.
John remembered this woman, estimated to be in her thirties, who lived in the manor where John performed the task of leading a thief for the first time.
John remembered her as Diana.
John and the others looked at each other, and walked towards her without hesitation.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lady Diana turned her head, and then John saw that Diana, who had been well taken care of before, was a lot haggard. Before, John thought she was only in her thirties, but now she looked at her at least thirty-four, but she couldn’t Not to mention she still looks good.
In the past, the director took good care of her, but Lei Te has passed away for almost a year now, and she doesn't seem to take care of her face deliberately. It's just that her figure is still very good, and Diana smiled when she saw a few people.
"I remember you, you are here to visit Lei Te, thank you for remembering him~" Diana said gently.
"Yes~ ma'am, we will never forget the kindness the director has shown us. If you need anything, you can go to Skynet Security Office to find me, or any of us, as long as we can help." The three of John faced her I made a salute.
"Well~ If I need anything, I've finished talking with him, you can talk to him, I won't bother you~" Diana smiled and placed the bouquet in front of Leiter's tombstone.
Then he turned and walked out of the cemetery and got into the carriage.
"Zuo En~ She has been with the chief for a long time." John asked looking at her back.
"It's been a long time, maybe ten years or so." Zuo En nodded.
"Does she come often?"
"Well~ I met the old man many times when I came to visit, and basically there are traces of her presence." Zuo En nodded.
"Has Baylor come to see?" John asked suddenly.
"I've seen~here~that bunch of flowers belonged to Baylor, he would come here about once every two or three weeks, and I've met him a few times." Zuo En said to John, pointing to a bunch of flowers that had been cleaned out~somewhat withered.
"How many weeks do you do?" John asked.
"Four or five days~ come on the fifth day if you drink too much." Zuo En replied honestly.
"Drink less, you won't die of drunkenness." John said bitterly.
"Old man, I'm here again, bringing a few friends, who are your former subordinates." Zuo En perfunctorily squatted down and arranged the bouquet, his movements were a little rough.
"It's rare that we came here together. John's plan allowed us to avenge you. Derek killed the dwarf in the black market. They both contributed a lot, so I didn't do anything big."
Zuo En was talking about the matter of several people helping Leiter to avenge him.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them said a word of blessing to Lei Te, and then left the cemetery together.
But when he walked to the cemetery, John remembered something. He turned to look at Derek and asked, "Zon, do you know where the kid's body is?"
Zuo En asked in confusion, "Why? You still want to flog the corpse?"
"No~ I remember that guy had something of great value~" John responded.
"Then I have to find Robert from the black market. How could I care where that guy's body is~" Zuo En responded strangely.
】
"Yeah, yes." John nodded.
"By the way, go to my tavern for a drink, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time." Zuo En invited after walking out of the cemetery.
"I'm fine~" John nodded and then looked at Derek.
"My wife is busy here, and I have time to see what the boss's tavern in the East End is like." Derek didn't know if it was because he had a wife, so he talked more than before.
"Don't bury me, I'm just a mouthpiece. I can't compare to the bootlegger next to us~ the rich man, the land tycoon~ I heard that there are seven factories. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Zuo En Point the finger at John.
"Hi~ It's all about friends, I'm not worth mentioning." John walked towards Zuo En's East End tavern while talking with the two of them.
"By the way ~ John, do you still remember those children?" Zuo En said suddenly.
"Which ones? Oh~ Who are you going to work with in my name?" John remembered the children Zuo En mentioned.
Those kids who gave up halfway because they met him for the first time in a robbery.
"Well~ I'm still smart enough to keep them working in my tavern, should I ask them to come and meet?" Zuo En said.
"If you have a job, as long as you don't get bullied, you don't have to go to see them too deliberately. It's better without my intervention, I can't take care of too many people." John said seriously after a while.
"That's fine too~" Zuo En shrugged.
While the three of them were talking, they came to the East District.
