Chapter 69 Viper
"I still haven't come!"
Look carefully through the "Murder in the King's Hotel" reported in the newspaper and read the above date.
It's been almost a month!
Thinking of his letter, Henry suddenly began to regret it. Thinking of the short text message I wrote that day, I sent it out. The content of the letter is very simple.
It's just an invitation for Chen Moran to come to his place at his convenience, but he used the convenience of the King's Hotel.
Henry was even a little annoyed why he couldn't calm down at that time. Since he saw British Lieutenant Jeff in the newspaper? After Reese was murdered at the King's Hotel, he suspected Jeff? Reese's death has something to do with Chen Moran.
Henry clearly knew that he took Jeff? Chen Moran, who was told by Reese's identity, that when he saw the news on the report, he almost jumped up, not anger, but excitement. He actually killed Jeff for "Yong Le Da Dian"? Reese, is there anyone more stupid than him?
Catch the handle of a rich man! As long as you think about it, you can make people excited for a while. That day, when he identified Jeff? After Reese died at the hands of Chen Moran, he even saw that under his questioning, Chen Moran completely collapsed and then knelt in front of him, begging him to let him go, and then what? He will generously let him go, and then slowly squeeze out his wealth.
But what about now?
Chen Moran not only knelt down and begged for mercy as he thought, but also ignored himself. Within a month, the squeid took him, Henry? McCauley, the founder of McCauley, was ignored by a decent tycoon in the Shanghai Public Concession!
The feeling of being ignored is indeed unpleasant, but the most unpleasant thing is that the cripple completely broke his fantasy.
"...Everyone invited him, but he didn't go anywhere!"
What?
Henry was shocked by Owen's report. He looked up at Owen standing there in surprise.
"Owen, you mean the cripple didn't buy anyone?"
"Yes! Including Sassoon, who has also invited him"
Owen, who stood in front of the big class, replied respectfully. When he answered, Owen even secretly sighed at the man's airs. Those who invited him were all decent people in the Shanghai Concession, but he didn't buy any of them. This man is really a little arrogant. If Owen knew the reason why Chen Moran didn't go, I'm afraid he wouldn't think so.
Owen's answer finally made Henry feel better, but why did he refuse everyone?
"Didn't he do anything else?"
Under the eyes of the big class, Owen hesitated to say.
"Sir, according to the information I found, he bought a piece of wasteland from Pudong, set up a construction company, even recruited more than 1,000 construction workers, and even trained those construction workers. Now his construction company is recruiting engineers and technicians, and the other, today In the morning, the northwest corner of Chen's Garden began to build an orphanage! There is nothing else to do."
Henry didn't care how to train the workers. On the contrary, when he heard about the orphanage, he hurriedly asked.
"What, Chen Cunzi runs an orphanage in his garden?"
"Yes, sir!" Owen answered affirmatively first, and then went on a little late.
"I personally think that he runs an orphanage just for fame! I just want to change a good reputation. I found a piece of news that he had visited Sheng Xuanhuai. Personally, I thought that maybe he wanted to spend money to donate an official position like many Chinese businessmen.
"It doesn't matter whether he is famous or not! Or there is another plan. Now at least I can be sure of one thing!"
Henry seemed to hear something from Owen's report. He raised his nose and waved his hand at Owen with a little irritation in his eyebrows.
"Owen, at least now I can prove that Chen Moran is much richer than I thought, isn't he?"
Before Owen could speak again, Henry suddenly pointed at him.
"Yes, sir!"
Owen nodded with great certainty.
"Last month, I met Chen Moran in the restaurant without any objection! He seems to be waiting in the restaurant, waiting for a woman! I think you know this person, sir! It's Miss Catherine of Huisheng!"
As a large class assistant of a foreign bank, Owen will pay attention to anyone who is interested in his boss. Because of this, he will remember what he saw that day, and in the past period of time, he has been thinking about the connection between the two.
"Oh? It's that day!"
"March..."
Before Owen finished speaking, Henry couldn't help pressing his stomach with his hands and laughing.
"I see, I finally see! The damn group of Jews fell into the hands of his Chen limper from the beginning, from Fuli Manor to Huisheng Bank. This lame tycoon not only played Charlie, but also played with all of them!"
At this time, Henry finally understood what he couldn't understand. That day, why the woman Ji Li took Chen's arm and appeared at the auction. After Owen said that he saw Catherine, Henry finally understood everything.
"At the instructions of Sassoon and others, no one in Shanghai dared to lend Catherine money at all. Except for the greedy Charlie, Catherine got a huge sum of money on April 1st, and all of Shanghai didn't know where she got it from! I didn't expect it! Unexpectedly..."
Perhaps because he was too excited for a moment, Henry only raised his hand and waved his head, where he praised God.
"Hallelujah!"
Then he even recited a motto from the Bible devoutly.
"My son, don't walk with them and forbid your feet to walk their way, because their feet run and do evil. They shed people's blood quickly, like birds, and the net is set in front of you and still do not dodge. These people ambush for their own blood, crouching for self-harm. This is the way for all those who are greedy for money. This greedy heart takes the life of the rich.
Owen, who was shocked by Daban's behavior, did not understand the meaning of this proverb at all. After hearing this sentence, he couldn't help looking at Henry a few more times. If he didn't know, I'm afraid people would think how holy he was, but what about the truth? However, he vaguely knew why Daban was so gaffe. He hated the group of Jews who ruled Shanghai. When Huisheng survived the squeeze, he even took red wine to visit Sassoon. It was Sassoon's greedy poisonous snake that wanted to swallow Huisheng and the equity certificate of Huisheng's treasury.
But Owen believes that Henry's gaffe is not only because someone destroyed Sassoon's plan, but also with an ulterior purpose behind his gaffe.
"He naturally needs our help to run charity such as orphans, don't he? All right, Owen, you go and prepare now. I'm going to send a gift to Chen Moran. I think maybe we should mend the past relationship now.
"Sir, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. If that's right, he should have taken a boat to Nanjing two hours ago!"
"Did you go to Nanjing? Oh! That's it!"
Henry, with a smile on his face, muttered softly, and there was nothing strange on his face. In a flash, he already understood how to use all this to seek more benefits for himself.
"Well, let's go to Mr. Sassoon! I think Mr. Sassoon will be very happy today!"
At this time, Henry forgot his motto "Greedy takes the life of the rich". Maybe Sassoon is the king cobra in Shanghai, but what about Henry? At least a viper!
