really.
At the banquet, except for being alone with Song Li for a while, he almost didn't have a good look towards anyone else.
Even Richard and Lawrence, who took the initiative to come over, were no exception.
"By the way! Miss Echos even talked to Song Li that day, and they seemed to get along very well."
Gavin seemed to be worried that he was not convincing enough, so he also roped in Song Li to testify.
The girls who were very curious about this immediately turned their heads and looked at Geli sitting on the other side.
Among these sights, Wayne also glanced secretly.
At this moment, the girl was sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was completely indifferent to the topics around her.
But this feeling is only for a moment.
Sensing the gaze coming from the side, Ge Li looked up and happened to meet Wayne's eyes.
Wayne resisted the urge to avoid the gentle gaze and smiled slightly at her.
The girls finally couldn't hold it any longer and gathered around Ge Li and started asking questions.
And once one or two people moved their positions, all the girls surrounding Gavin dispersed in an instant, leaving only Gavin who had become a loner again and stayed there crying without tears.
Only then, seeing that the overall situation was decided, Wayne walked over with a smile still on his face and sat next to Gavin.
"Damn it! What a mistake..."
Gavin was full of unwilling thoughts and regretted that he had missed the opportunity.
Frankly speaking, seeing that Song Li's place was gradually becoming more lively, Wayne actually wanted to get together and chat.
But obviously, in such a scene, he is not suitable to approach.
"Speaking of Gavin." Wayne asked casually, "How is your cheap brother-in-law doing lately?"
Gavin was stunned for a moment when he heard Wayne's question, but he soon realized who Wayne was talking about.
"You mean Dave——"
"He has been released. Now that Bulwer has accepted His Majesty's punishment, there should be no more trouble, right?"
As he spoke, he sighed helplessly. "This guy is quite heartless. When he came back, he just hung out with some friends he met somewhere. He didn't care at all that his family had been worried about him for so long."
Gavin's tone contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
Wayne knew that he was probably complaining about his girlfriend.
"Hmm. Didn't he say anything to you after he came back?"
"No..." Gavin felt a little strange, "Should he say anything to us?"
"No, I'm just asking."
Wayne pondered for a while.
It seems that Diff did not tell anyone what happened to him.
"By the way, there's something I've always cared about... You said before that your girlfriend Debbie was responsible for all his tuition and living expenses. Don't they have other family members?"
I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but I always feel that the way Dave and Debbie get along is weird.
On the surface, it is clear that the sister who works tirelessly is working hard to support her brother's education and even secretly does some work for him. A sister who can do this can even be said to be no different from her mother.
However, the relationship between the two siblings does not seem to be as close as it seems.
When talking about this topic, Gavin couldn't help but sigh. "Debbie's hometown originally lived in a very poor village, and her parents had died of serious illness, so she took all her little savings and moved with her brother to the bustling capital to make a living."
"Is that so, which village is it?" Wayne asked one more question, seemingly unintentionally.
…
After returning home, Wayne immediately sent a team of people to the address Gavin said through the family's channels.
He wanted to investigate the background of Dave.
If what Gavin said is true, then Dave should have little chance of getting to know people from the Stuart Kingdom.
After all, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary. Before this, it didn't seem like there was any way to collude with foreign envoys.
In terms of personal benefits, his real value lies in his relationship with Gavin...or the objective reality that he is very close to Bulwer.
But judging from the whole story of Bulwer's account, the reason why he let Diff stay with him was entirely because Bulwer believed that Diff was really a witness in the "Pig Man" case. If we make this connection, is the time point when Dave and Stuart got online before or after this?
Wayne prefers after that.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to put so much effort into finding a suitable job before.
Fortunately, the village Gavin mentioned is not too far from the royal capital, and the results should be available within a few days.
After thinking alone for a long time, Wayne came to the basement of his villa.
As the heavy secret door was pushed open, a dim moonlight extended into a corner of the corridor. The only prisoner here is March, the supervisor captured from Chapman Manor.
As soon as Wayne entered the basement, March's voice came from the darkness.
"My lord, I have figured it out," he said.
Compared with his previous unruly appearance, March's posture was much lowered.
Nowadays, people are like slaves and others are like fish and meat. He just hasn't read any books, and he's not really stupid.
"So, what can you provide me?" Wayne still said the same thing.
Ma Qi has been locked up here for a while. Although I won't let him starve to death, I can't make him live comfortably. But his expression now seems quite calm.
"Now that I have awakened my magic, you must be of use to me." He lowered his head and said.
"Do you want to be a thug?" Wayne sneered, "But your origins are unclear, and I don't trust your character."
He doesn't shy away from this at all.
There is no doubt that March is a man with bad records. If it were not for the convenience of investigating how to awaken the magic in him, Wayne would never have captured him.
Probably understanding his current situation, Ma Qi pursed his lips.
"——Then, I will use my actual actions to gain your trust."
Practical action...
Seeing that he was quite sensible, Wayne nodded.
"I can give you a chance, but you only have this chance."
After explaining what he wanted him to do, Wayne took out a wooden box from his pocket.
After opening it, there was a suspicious potion inside.
"This is..." Seeing the other party pushing the wooden box in front of him, Ma Qi couldn't help but hesitate.
"A special potion." Wayne said in a calm voice.
"Once you start drinking it, you must take a second dose no more than one month apart, otherwise you will die suddenly."
