"Who wants to see me?"
Zhou Jinru looked sideways at Wade. The mayor was very nervous, which meant that the other party had a very high status. However, everything at the banquet was as usual with no changes, which meant that it was a secret meeting.
Wade paused and lowered his voice: "Mrs. Leon."
The owner of Leon Manor?
Zhou Jinru was shocked. He had some vague guesses, but when he actually got the name, he was still uncontrollably shocked.
She wanted to see the old man who showed up at the banquet not long ago?
Wade walked in front, and Zhou Jinru was half a body behind him. The two walked around a corridor and came to the depths of the manor. It was quiet and deserted. Except for a few guards guarding the door, there was nothing and the bare floor. , there is no decoration on the walls on both sides, everything is too simple to be like the Victorian royal family.
"No need to search, just walk in, keep walking, don't stop."
Wade stood at the entrance of the stairs. He obviously did not mean to go in with Zhou Jinru. At this moment, Zhou Jinru's emotional perception was in full swing. In addition to the few guards in front of him, he also found more than a dozen people in the dark, without exception. He is a master, any one of them has the level of a senior senior operator, or even higher.
Zhou Jinru nodded superficially and walked forward. When he passed the guards, he felt a chill for no reason, so he quickened his pace and walked into the closely monitored inner corridor.
Every door was closed tightly. The metallic door looked like a secret research base somewhere. There was no decoration except for a label with a white background on the door panel, which was written in a language that Zhou Jinru could not understand.
Two waiters stood at the end of the corridor. When they saw Zhou Jinru approaching, they opened the door for him with impeccable etiquette:
"Please come in."
Zhou Jinru didn't even look at these two people and walked directly into the door. Because he didn't sense any emotion at the door, these two people were not real living people.
In the same simple room, an old man with white hair sat in a leisure chair. With his eyes closed, he heard the footsteps of someone approaching. The shaking chair stopped. His hands, as wrinkled as orange peels, held the armrests. She Open your eyes and look directly at the young man in front of you.
"You're fine."
Zhou Jinru didn't speak or make any movements, and stood quietly on the spot. In his emotional perception, the old man's emotional source was not very strong, and there was no one else in the room except the two of them.
"Vina made the right choice."
Mrs. Leon said.
She stood up from the leisure chair, still holding the chair with her right hand, and kept looking at Zhou Jinru: "Many years ago, I didn't have any choice, but Wei Na did. She is a good child, and she has always had good vision. So do you. A good man who can build a happy family with her."
Zhou Jinru remained silent, and the old man mentioned Vina. Speaking of the past, Mrs. Leon could not choose her own marriage when she was young. This is one of the tragedies of aristocratic children. Their marriages are basically exchanges of interests, and there are very few true love. of.
"It's been so long that I've forgotten everything."
The old man came closer, his cloudy eyes rolled, and he stared at Zhou Jinru's face, as if he was comparing something.
Suddenly, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
"you can go now."
The old man turned around and turned his back to Zhou Jinru. Until the man left, she slowly sat down in the Xiaoyao chair. The light in the room dimmed little by little, the aging figure became illusory, and everything in the room disappeared. Only a precision instrument was left, flashing red light spots and making an inaudible sound.
"Bless you, Defender No. 004, commander of the fourth theater."
…
…
When Zhou Jinru walked out, his face was expressionless. He heard a lot of words that could not be said to outsiders. The most distinguished person in the Victoria royal family told him that he could start a family with Wei Na. This is an ancient saying that nobility today would not use. old vocabulary.
When Wade saw him coming out, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "You don't need me to say more, do you?"
Confidential and not to be disclosed.
Zhou Jinru nodded and made his request: "Before Mr. Shivaash comes back, I want to find a place to rest."
"There are many rooms in the manor for guests to rest."
His wish was responded to. What Zhou Jinru didn't expect was that in addition to the room, Wade also sent Elena in and told him that for a long time, Count Borg would not have time to come to this young lady. trouble.
The film girl sat awkwardly in the chair, not knowing what expression to use to face the mysterious man. She originally only used him as a shield, but she didn't expect that it would backfire...
Zhou Jinru poured himself a glass of hot water, picked it up and took a sip: "I can't help you. I'm not from Victoria. I will leave here in a few days. I can stop you for a while, but not for a lifetime."
"But……"
"No buts."
He walked up to the girl, looked at the weak kitten, and reached out to pinch her chin: "That's how nobles are. Since you were born into nobles, you enjoy the best education and a privileged life. You don't have to squeeze into the bus like civilian children." When you go to school, you don’t have to rely on your legs to walk the last part of the way. Everything you enjoy must be returned to the family, am I right?”
"I know."
"I am oblivious."
Zhou Jinru let go of his hand, his eyes were cold: "You have never been there, you have not experienced it, so you don't understand, but I have personal troubles. I didn't want to say anything more. I have no interest in your life at all, but today It’s an exception, I will help you, and you have to repay me.”
Elena suddenly felt scared. Why did this man suddenly change his attitude?
Her voice trembled: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Jinru frowned and corrected: "It's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do."
Elena revealed her original plan. She planned to take advantage of the mingling of people on Recovery Day, disguise herself and sneak out of Londinium. It would be best to leave Victoria and go to a place where no one knew anyone.
"Are you planning to be sold to a ravine for the rest of your life, and then your family will be attacked by Count Borg?"
Her plan made Zhou Jinru want to give her a slap in the face. She was a typical person who ignored her buttocks. Even if she could run out, how far could she run alone? Who would finish it off?
"Do you know how to survive in the wilderness like this? What it will be like to walk in the wilderness in a convoy, how long and how far to go, and what to do if you encounter bad people. Melantha is better than you. After you leave, Earl Borg will suffer humiliation. What will happen to your family, your parents, brothers and sisters who will let you go?"
A bunch of questions came at her, and the film girl covered her face, wishing she could find a hole to crawl in.
Zhou Jinru took a sip of tea. The girl was still a little tender.
