But it was said that Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary, was from a well-known family in Portugal, and he and his wife were in a free love relationship. The two had been in love for so many years together.
In the open areas of Europe and the United States, he has always maintained his loyalty to his marriage and has been able to maintain his original intention in the face of various temptations. This is truly valuable.
In his own mind, his wife is also a gentle and considerate woman. He was transferred from Portugal to Haojiang. She never had any complaints and carefully took care of things at home for her, so that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to her. Put yourself into the work.
If someone had told him before that his wife would cheat, he would never have believed it. However, after a banquet three years after coming to work in Haojiang, she gradually became different.
I love dressing up more than before. Even if I don't go out at home, I will dress myself up in a colorful way. At the same time, I have become obsessed with flowers. I go out and buy a bouquet of flowers every day to ensure that there are fresh flowers at home every day.
Social activities have also increased significantly, and I often attend various dances and drinking parties, and sometimes even go home drunk in the middle of the night. If it was just like this, forget it, and he wouldn't think there was any problem.
After all, with his current status, his woman has these expenses, and he can afford to attend these parties.
But what really made him feel abnormal was that he didn't know when the frequency of couple life between the two had dropped significantly. In the past, I was a little out of my depth and had no energy, so I just pushed when I could.
But then it gradually became that as long as you didn't mention it, the other party wouldn't take the initiative to ask for it from you. In the end, it even developed to the point where you asked the other party for it, but the other party wouldn't give it to you.
In this case, he would be a fool if he couldn't detect the abnormality. Given his identity, he couldn't find outsiders to investigate this kind of thing, so he could only quietly follow his wife.
But after repeatedly following her for more than half a month, he found nothing unusual. This made him blame himself for a while, thinking that he had wronged his wife, and he felt full of guilt for her.
I no longer have random thoughts, I just think that the other party is old and no longer enthusiastic about such things.
But more than half a year later, he no longer doubted his wife, but when he was having dinner with his friends, he suddenly received a call saying that his wife was having a tryst with someone in Room 308 of the Grand Regal Hotel.
This sudden news made him freeze on the spot, and he was completely confused. When he came to his senses and wanted to ask a few more questions, there was only a busy signal on the phone.
At this time, the only way to confirm the authenticity was to go and see it in person. At that time, he didn't hesitate at all, put down the phone and rushed out of the restaurant.
The friend who was eating with him was also confused when he saw this scene, and hurriedly chased him out to check the situation. But Mr. Brown has no time to explain to them! No matter what, I wanted to get to the Monopoly Hotel as soon as possible.
In fact, his entire mind has been filled with endless thoughts about the activities of his wife and other men in the Monopoly Hotel. No man could bear such humiliation, let alone a man like him who was devoted to his wife. This was like a bolt from the blue to him.
If it had turned out that he had not suspected his wife, he might not have been easily confused by a phone call, but he himself had followed up on his wife and found nothing unusual.
Now when he heard the room number directly reported on the stranger's phone, his first judgment was that it was all true and that the others had not lied to him. As for who the other party was and why they called him, he could no longer care about it. Thinking about it.
When the two friends saw Brown, his face was ugly and his eyes were red. They couldn't understand what kind of emergency the other party was encountering. But no matter how they asked, the other party didn't say anything. They just wanted to drive over immediately, so they could only hurry up. Keep up.
The two friends kept comforting and asking questions along the way, and Brown had to tell what he just heard on the phone. Now it was the two friends' turn to be embarrassed. Should they help or stay away from such a thing? Woolen cloth?
But now that I'm on the bus, it's too late to get off! In this way, a group of three people arrived at the Monopoly Hotel in a hurry.
When they saw Mr. Brown rushing upstairs without saying a word, the two of them were also worried about causing trouble, so they could only follow him to persuade him, hoping that Brown would calm down. But all this was obviously in vain.
At the front desk of the Monopoly Hotel, when they saw three men rushing in regardless, they felt bad and quickly stood up to stop them.
But Brown didn't listen to what the other party said, so he pushed the young receptionist aside and walked towards the elevator. After only waiting for a while, the elevator door opened.
When the three Browns came to the door of Room 308, Mr. Brown heard the screams coming from the room, "Oh! God, God" incessantly.
And this voice is really familiar to Mr. Brown. If he still had one percent chance, then at this moment, he was already one thousand percent sure that his wife was in the room. .
Just when he was about to kick in the door, two hotel waiters rushed out of the hotel corridor. When they saw them, they shouted:
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? This is a hotel and a public place. Don't mess around!"
As soon as he saw this situation, Brown understood that these hotel staff were here to stop him. After hearing the scream in the room and confirming that it was indeed his wife, he was still hesitant about whether to leave some dignity for himself and his wife. .
Wait until the other person gets home, then calm down and resolve the matter. But when he saw the two waiters trying to stop him, he suddenly became more courageous, raised his foot and kicked the door hard.
It has to be said that the doors of this period were all made of real materials. Mr. Brown's kick did not open the door, but only made the door make a muffled "bang" sound. He himself fell to the ground due to the force of the counter-shock.
The two friends who came with him also had wry smiles on their faces when they saw that the matter had developed to this point. After looking at each other, one of them went to help Brown up, and the other stepped forward to stop the rushing waiter.
After falling, Brown became even more furious. He pushed away his friend who was trying to help him up. After taking two steps back, he kicked him. There was a loud "bang" and the door opened with a clang.
There was a woman screaming in terror and a man yelling:
"That bastard? Don't you want to live anymore?"
When Mr. Brown heard this voice, he felt it was familiar. After seeing the naked man opposite him, who was trying to cover his vitals with a towel, he couldn't help blurting out:
"Well, Holland, it turns out it's you, the bastard!"
After saying that, he turned around and saw Mrs. Brown lying naked on the bed, trying to cover her body with a quilt.
His eyes turned red instantly, and like a furious lion, he rushed directly towards the man who put the hat on him.
Major Holland was obviously startled by the sudden appearance of the gentleman, especially after seeing who he was, he was even more shocked. To be honest, since he was looking for his wife to eat secretly, he naturally had some expectations for this situation.
He had been very careful at first, but when Mr. Brown followed and investigated Mrs. Brown, he discovered the other party, so he deliberately cooperated with Mrs. Brown to dispel Mr. Brown's doubts. Later, after Mr. Brown believed in his wife, they dared to get back together.
It turned out that he had always been very vigilant, but after more than half a year, Mr. Brown seemed to completely believe his wife, and he slowly relaxed his vigilance.
But I didn’t expect that walking by the river would keep my shoes from getting wet. This time, without any warning, Mr. Brown rushed directly into their room and trapped them in the bed. They had no chance to find excuses. .
As the party at fault for being caught, he didn't dare to resist when the other party rushed toward him. He could only grab the towel and cover his privacy while desperately avoiding the other party's stormy attack.
The few people outside the door saw Mr. Brown rushing in. Of course, they could only follow him quickly. After seeing the situation in the room, everyone could only quickly look away from the bed. Trying to calm down Mr. Brown who was in a rage.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of other rooms. As soon as everyone rushed into the room, the door of the next room was opened. A young Chinese man quietly closed the door and stood outside the room where the conflict was taking place.
Soon, several people in other rooms opened the door and stretched their heads in the corridor to carefully observe, looking for the location where the conflict broke out.
After seeing that the door was not their own, several people quickly closed the door, while a few others were still watching from a distance.
Seeing this situation, the young Chinese man was also stunned. This was different from what he planned! Why don't these people just come and watch the fun! If you don't come over, how can I take advantage of the chaos?
Helpless, he could only roll his eyes and suddenly shouted to the corridor:
"Alas! Isn't this Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary? What's going on?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had retreated into the room poked their heads out again. All the heads that had not retracted came out.
Soon, men and women in pajamas boldly gathered around the room with their wives and other people's wives, and started pointing at the situation in the room.
In later generations, some people always say that only people in their hometown like to watch the fun. Is this really true? At least at this moment, the third floor of the Monopoly Hotel was filled with a group of people watching the excitement.
Moreover, the Grand Regal Hotel in Haojiang can be considered a high-end hotel, and the people who live here are considered well-known in Haojiang. Several of them immediately recognized the person involved in the incident.
"Hey! It's really Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary! Looking at this situation, Mrs. Brown must be stuck here!"
"Oh! I even attended a cocktail party with Mrs. Brown! She seemed serious, but I didn't expect that she would do such a thing!"
"The man who was beaten seemed to be Major Holland! I didn't expect that he was having an affair with Mrs. Brown."
"So he's an officer! No wonder he has such a good figure! Compared with Mr. Brown, I would choose this young and strong one!"
"Hey! What are you talking about! We are condemning Mrs. Brown for being unfaithful to her marriage. How can you look at that man!"
"What is there to condemn? It seems like you are not bringing someone else's wife here. If it were your own wife, would you stay in a hotel? Don't be ridiculous!"
"Oh! As Mrs. Brown, it's normal to have a lover! This Mr. Brown is real, why should it be so ugly!"
"Yes! If he is still fighting here, doesn't he have a lover himself?"
What these respectable Westerners living in the hotel said made the young Chinese who stood at the door first feel confused.
What is the situation? Shouldn't everyone accuse Major Holland and Mrs. Brown of violating moral principles? Why do you take everything for granted and blame the victim Mr. Brown!
While everyone was chatting outside about the situation inside, Mr. Brown was already beaten to a point of exhaustion. After all, he was quite old.
But even though he had no strength left, he still didn't want to let Major Holland go, especially when the other man only had a towel on his body, which really made him feel hard to calm down.
Two hotel waiters and two friends of Mr. Brown saw that Mr. Brown seemed a little exhausted and seemed to want to stop and rest, so they hurriedly stepped forward to calm him down.
When Mr. Brown saw the crowd gathered around him, he swept his hand across the crowd in dissatisfaction and tried to push everyone away. The waiter walking at the front seemed not to want to be hit by Mr. Brown, so he took a step back reflexively and bumped into the other three people behind him. I don’t know whether it was because of their too much strength or because the people behind them couldn’t stand firm. Two of the four fell to the ground accidentally.
Originally, this kind of chaotic scene was nothing special. Mr. Brown was not prepared to take another look. He just wanted to warn everyone not to stop him.
Unexpectedly, with a ding-dong sound, a sharp dagger appeared on the ground. For a moment, everyone was stunned. You looked at me, I looked at you, with confused expressions on their faces.
When Mr. Brown saw the dagger that fell to the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed it without thinking.
Naturally, all this did not escape Major Holland's eyes. The moment he saw the dagger, his heart skipped a beat. Knowing that the matter was serious, when Brown grabbed the dagger without hesitation, he knew that he could never stay in the room at this time.
His eyes swept across the room, and before Brown could reach him with a dagger, he jumped on the bed and prepared to rush out of the room. As for himself, who was naked with only a towel covering his body, he didn't care at all. .
However, luckily, the second time he jumped on the bed, he stepped on the legs of Mrs. Brown who was hiding under the quilt. He only heard a scream from Mrs. Brown who was hiding under the quilt and her face was covered, and her whole body reacted conditionedly. Legs twitching.
At this moment, Major Holland, whose entire strength was concentrated on this foot, lost his balance and fell down from the bed like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
Because of the height of the bed, Major Holland tried to put his hands on the ground, but he couldn't hold it up. His whole face fell firmly to the ground, and his head was bruised and bloody immediately, and he was so embarrassed.
Mr. Brown was holding a sharp knife and was murderous. When he saw Holland trying to escape, he couldn't let him go, so he pounced on him without even thinking.
