[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult
Chapter 53 [Overhaul] Business Dungeon
Deafening gunshots rang out, the dazzling flames rushed into the blue sky, and the misty white gunpowder smoke fell in mid-air, and the smell of gunpowder drifted into everyone's noses with the wind.
Oh, God!Holy Mary!This is a solid real gun! ! !
The little gangster and his friends were shocked, they are newcomers, and they have never played such a high-end game before! ! !
The little gangsters looked at each other, their wretched eyes had long since disappeared, and there was only one message in their eyes:
——I rub it, she can really shoot!
——Oh my god, have they messed with someone they shouldn't have? ! ! !
——No wonder she is so calm, she doesn't need to put us in the eyes at all! ! !
——I’m the only one thinking about what will happen to that person who intends to “save the beauty” later on?
Which noble lady carries a gun with her when she travels, and she shoots as soon as she says she shoots, this time she shoots into the sky, who knows who she will target next time.
When the gangsters received this business, they thought it was a windfall. The other party was two girls, and the roads in front and behind were blocked. It was definitely enough for the five of them to encircle them.It was agreed that when the "heroes save the beauty" people came, the two sides would fight, and then they waited for the opportunity to escape, and then ran to hide in other places after getting the money. The money was enough for them to buy a car in the west. Hundred acres! !
Why is it different from what you said? ! ! !
The punks finally realized that they had been cheated by that old Thompson.
Things have come to this, whether to run or not to run, or to run badly, these are several serious problems!
"You, who wants to try?" Bonnie looked completely calm, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her beautiful almond eyes were filled with a touch of coldness, "You guys blocked us on the road so premeditated, I defend myself When you counterattacked, you accidentally fired a gun, do you think someone will complain for you?"
Old Pork laughed loudly, and said casually: "Miss Bonnie, use your usual aim, and shoot every time."
After hearing what old Polk said, Bonnie ignored it as if she had discovered something interesting, and directly nodded at the head with the muzzle of a gun, "One, two, three, four, five... Don't worry, Grandpa Polk, today's One bullet for each of them is enough."
Punks: "..."
Bonnie said unhurriedly: "I gave you a chance to run just now, what did you say? Want to run now? Isn't it a bit late?"
Bonnie's bright and delicate face did not cause any waves, but it frightened the few punks present to the point of not even daring to move.If someone had reminded them that girls could use guns, they wouldn't have come here so blindly. However, death is imminent, so what if.
It's not that they haven't seen guns before, but they really didn't expect that one day they would be threatened by a girl pointing a gun at their heads.
No matter whether you lose or not, go to death.
The leader has already begun to consider betraying the planner and that old ghost Thompson.
At this moment when the two sides were silent, there was a chaotic sound of "da da da" horseshoes, and an indignant voice came from behind the little gangster: "What are you doing?"
Little gangster: Ah, seeing such a scene and rushing over, this is a serious illness, and is this guy coming out to be a hero to save the beauty, or to save us?
Wait, isn't it a little far away, and the five of them completely cover this lady, so that guy can't see the real situation at all?
——This scene is really embarrassing.
Last night, George Bright was dragged out to eat and drink, and he was so drunk that he couldn't even remember how to get home.
When he struggled to get up the next day, the sun was already high.
After learning that Bonnie and Ai La came out, the young master hurried out with people on horseback.
Their luck was really bad. On the way over, they encountered an accident in which a carriage collided with a coal truck. A truckload of coal was spilled, and half of the street was blocked.
George was very anxious, fearing that he would not catch up when he came over, or that the gangsters would do too much to the two beauties and scare the two ladies.
Seeing that the two sides were still in a confrontational situation from a distance, he yelled at the little gangster according to the script he had imagined.
Not only did the punks not turn around according to the script, they didn't move at all.
George thought there was an accident, so he said to the servants next to him, "Hurry up."
Bonnie put the gun back in a slow manner, and the punks watched her movements, but didn't dare to move.
Mouthed to the leader: "I remember you."
Is this saying, I let you go?
The leading gangster's eyes widened, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
In the next second, he ran away.
Seeing that their boss had disappeared, the other gangsters immediately retreated in all directions.
what happened?
When George was only about ten yards away from Bonnie's carriage, from one of the punks running wildly as if fleeing, to all the punks scatter like birds and beasts, scrambling away, fearing to avoid them, shattered George's laying good script.
Bonnie took a few steps back and walked to the glass window of the carriage: "Ella, it's okay, I've already taken care of it."
The moment Ella took out the gun from Bonnie, she stopped panicking and completely calmed down.
She knew that her sister's marksmanship was taught by Rhett, and it can be said that she can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.
What's even more bizarre is that her mother agreed with Bonnie to learn marksmanship from the very beginning. When Rhett was teaching Bonnie, she took several of their children (including Kevin and Christine, who just remembered at the time) in the Listen on the sidelines.
So everyone in the family, including Aunt Melanie and Beau, knew how to use a gun.
Ella herself is not interested in guns, but she also knows how guns are used under her influence.
But it seems that Bonnie's premonition really made her very worried, otherwise why would she come out with a gun with her.
Fortunately, Bonnie was here today, otherwise, if there were only her and old Polk, that group of people might have succeeded.
"Who's here?" Ella also heard the sound of horseshoes not far away.
"A person who writes and directs himself."
"Huh?" Ella thought she didn't hear Bonnie's words clearly.
Bonnie smiled brightly: "It's nothing, George Bright is here, do you want to come down?"
When the two communicated through the glass, George Bright had jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of them.
In fact, it was too late for George to see everything clearly.
Although the little gangster had left, things had come to this point, and there was no reason for him not to show it.
So George rolled his eyes and decided to change the script to care about the two ladies.
He first pretended to look around at the wooden cart behind the wood surrounding the carriage, and asked nervously, "What happened here just now? Are you all right?"
"There was an accident," Bonnie said in a soft voice, a little embarrassed. "Ella and I were rushing to the party. I didn't expect someone to play a prank and block the road."
mischief?George frowned.
What do you mean?
So what happened before?Why did those punks who received the first payment just run away like this, don't they want to collect the final payment?
Although he couldn't comprehend what was going on in his mind, George still took a look in the carriage: "Miss Ella, are you also in the carriage?"
"That's right," Bonnie blinked her eyes innocently, "I was arguing with them just now, but they couldn't beat me and ran away by themselves. By the way, Brother George, why did you appear here?"
George: "..."
Why is it different from what you said? ! ! !
No, the two beauties must have encountered something, but they dare not tell him.George took it for granted that those punks must have said something bad, and maybe they even molested Bonnie.Ella is still in the car, so it seems that she should not be affected.
George looked upright: "If something happens, please tell me."
"Ah." Bonnie pursed her lips and made a embarrassed expression.
George immediately acted like he was listening nervously, but in fact he was overjoyed.
Finally, there is room for him to play.
But what the girl said was, "They're the ones who knocked down the logs and blocked our way. Brother George, can you help us move the logs so that we can hurry to the party? We're almost late."
The girl pouted and made a "please" gesture.
The wood on the ground is all logs that have just been seen from the forest south of Atlanta. They have not been treated yet, have sufficient water, and there are some mud and ants.
But of course George would not let go of this opportunity to express himself: "Let's quickly remove these obstructing logs for Miss Ella and Miss Bonnie." He hurriedly directed people to move the logs.
The servant who didn't understand the situation from the beginning: What's the situation? Didn't you agree to come to fight? Why did it turn into moving wood?
After George finished speaking, he turned to look at Bonnie, and said with a smile, "Miss Ella is also in the car, I'll go and say hello to her, so she doesn't have to worry."
"But..." Bonnie's eyes fell on George's servants, "They don't seem to be able to move, shall I ask Grandpa Polk to help them?"
George glanced at the servant, and spat in his heart, "Trash", "It's okay, I'll go help too. Grandpa Pok is getting old too, so don't worry."
Bonnie nodded obediently, and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother George."
George walked over unhurriedly, rolled up the sleeves of his silky white shirt, and cursed in a low voice, "Didn't I usually give you food? Is it just this little effort?"
The servant was also very aggrieved, but he only dared to say in his heart: Don't you know if you try it yourself?
Although these trees are not too thick, but each one is dead and heavy.Fortunately, when it fell down, the stack was not too high, so it didn't collapse like a domino, and it was relatively less difficult to clean up.
However, this pile of wood is enough to cause a headache.
George exhausted all his strength and blushed, but they still couldn't move it together.
One of the servants had an idea and pushed the log. He was not strong enough, but he was better than before. Several of them pushed the log to the sides with their buttocks pouted.
——This story tells us that we must not pretend to be a man, and beware of harming others and ourselves.
Bonnie looked at the row of buttocks silently, and almost couldn't help laughing. If she really laughed, the innocence pretended to be completely ruined, so she quickly stepped into the carriage and told old Polk to leave when there was enough room. Hurry up and drive away.
Old Polk has served Scarlett's family for so many years, so he naturally puts the owner first in everything - just now when Bonnie opened his eyes and said nonsense to perfuse George, even though he didn't understand what Bonnie meant, he still kept his mouth tightly shut of.
Seeing that the road was halfway through, Old Polk turned the car around again and drove towards the destination.
George and the others put all their energy into breastfeeding, and finally opened the way forward. They were about to rest and strike up a conversation with Ella, but the old black slave swung his whip vigorously, and the horse was already on the ground. In the process of stopping just now, he had accumulated enough strength, and he couldn't wait to run out as soon as he was ordered.
George watched the carriage pass by them, and when they passed by, Bonnie waved to him and said with a smile: "Brother George, thank you, my sister and I have It's urgent, goodbye."
The carriage drove away.
George was dazed for a while, unable to react.
A servant touched his sleeve boldly, "Master, do you still want to move?"
"I'll move your head!!" George roared furiously.
He deliberately arranged for Ella today, but he didn't even have time to say a word to Ella, let alone show his bravery.In order to let Ella see that he is helpful, he also worked hard to move the dirty wood.
The results of it?
on the carriage.
When Ella was leaving in the carriage, she suddenly remembered something: "Why didn't Mr. Bright come over to say hello to me?"
The lady education she received since she was a child told her that a lady should not take the initiative to get out of the car and say hello to a man, but should wait for the man to come forward before the girl should return the greeting.
So Ella sat in the car and didn't get off. She didn't expect that when the car left, the other party didn't come forward.
ah!It's too early to be happy.
Frustrating George Bright's plot, but not showing Ella that he can't be trusted.
Bonnie thought a little ruefully.
In the scene of the gangsters running away just now, Bonnie estimated that George must be extremely depressed, and she would definitely go to Thompson and the gangsters to ask what happened at that time.
However, Bonnie arranged for her own bodyguards to follow the gangsters closely in the morning. There should be no way for this group of rabble to escape the palms of these well-trained bodyguards.
"Ella..." Bonnie looked at Ella, struggling to tell her the truth.
Ella looked at her sister's hesitant expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't Bonnie take care of what happened just now?
"Actually, the gangster we met today was arranged by George Bright."
Ella looked at Bonnie in amazement: "Ah? Why do you think so? Is there something wrong?" George is the son of the governor, so he has nothing to do with these little bastards.
"Ella," Bonnie grabbed Ella's slender wrist, sat down next to her, and sincerely apologized to him: "I'm sorry for putting you in danger. In fact, I already knew that I might meet you today." In such a situation, those little gangsters were arranged by George Bright. Don't you find it strange that Bright appeared after the gangsters stopped us?"
Although Ella was still confused about the whole matter, she recalled Bonnie's performance today, and suddenly realized something: "So when you went out today, you obstructed me in every possible way, and then you brought a gun?"
In fact, Bonnie doesn't have the habit of carrying a gun when going out. Even her mother supports Bonnie's learning to use a gun, but she is always worried that the gun will go off. Usually, if Bonnie and her father go out together, Bonnie will not carry a gun.
"I originally wanted to teach Brett a lesson. In fact, I brought our bodyguards to follow us to prevent accidents." Bonnie simply handed over all the details, "I got the news Yes, because he wanted to pursue you, he arranged for these little bastards to intercept our carriage, so that he could save the beauty in front of you."
Ella said in surprise, "Did George Bright do all of this?"
"I don't need to lie to you," Bonnie carefully observed Ella's expression. Although her sister's face was a little surprised, she was still calm and self-possessed, and she didn't seem to be too much affected.
Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that although Ella softened and accepted Brett's gift, she still didn't like him.
You must know that most people in love are irrational, and there is no room for a grain of sand in their eyes. They only believe what they see with their own eyes. No matter how much evidence other people present, they may not be able to convince them.
"I know you won't lie to me." Ella showed a rare comforting smile, "You don't have to be too nervous, I'm just surprised that people use these low-level tricks to pursue others. However, you are How do you know?"
"The first two weeks," Bonnie nodded emphatically towards Ella, seeing Ella's obviously raised eyebrows, "that's the first two weeks, people have been following me, their goal is to follow me and Yours, but they found that you seldom go out, so they followed me all the time..."
"And then you found out?"
"I brought someone directly to the door, and then asked her to tell me all the plans?"
"Her? Female?"
This incident has not completely passed, and Bonnie has sent someone to protect Louise and David to prevent Thompson or George from finding the two siblings.
"Yes, that's right, I can let you meet her, and she can prove what George did." After this incident passed, Bonnie originally planned to arrange for Ella to meet Louise.
Ella didn't think too much about meeting a stranger. Her younger sister was the closest person she had been to since she was a child. She couldn't even believe her younger sister.
But Bonnie's serious look made Ella decide to meet this girl who dared to follow Bonnie.
Next, all the way calm.
The two arrived at their destination, and after getting out of the carriage together, Bonnie suddenly saw someone running up on a horse not far away.
Ella also noticed that it was her bodyguard, she glanced at Bonnie with doubts, and got affirmative doctor.
Bonnie smiled and said to the two: "Ella, you and Catherine go in first, I have leaked something in the car, I'll go back and get it, I'll just go up by myself later."
Ella looked at Catherine, "Then let's go in first, I'm sorry we encountered some accidents on the way, so we were delayed for some time, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Bonnie stayed where she was, and the rider quickly ran up to Bonnie, nodded towards Bonnie, and gave a thumbs up again.
This gesture indicated that the siege plan was successful. Bonnie turned around and walked to the carriage, flipped it casually, and then walked towards Catherine's mansion.
☆
After dinner that day, the Butler family sat on the soft orange lambskin sofa, saying that it was newly replaced, and it was more comfortable to sit on than the previous hard leather sofa.
Although Rhett was not used to it, as long as Scarlett and her children didn't like it, he would be content to pay the money.The new sofa still smells of fur, but Scarlett said she loves it.
Rhett put his arms around Scarlett's waist, making her lean comfortably in his arms, Bonnie and Ella sat beside Scarlett, and Little Kevin and Wade sat opposite.
Ella and Bonnie tell the others about meeting the punks today.
"I thought the law and order in Atlanta was already very good," Scarlett touched Rhett's waist with her elbow, "and the carriage, Rhett, do you still remember when Melanie was pregnant with Christine?" , we were stopped by a group of workers on strike, and Melanie was almost killed..." After all, this was a bad memory, so she stopped talking about it halfway.
Wade thought about it for a while: "I remember that time, when Aunt Lani almost died. Thanks to Grandpa Meade's superb medical skills, Aunt Lani came back to life and gave birth to Christine smoothly."
"It was that time," Scarlett nodded, "Although the carriage is convenient, it is too easy to be stopped, and riding a horse is also very dangerous." Her beautiful eyes were directly fixed on Bonnie, meaning said pointingly.
Bonnie naturally knew that Scarlett meant that she didn't want her to ride a horse. It seemed that the incident of little Bonnie falling off the horse still left Scarlett with an indelible shadow.
She tilted her head, pretending not to see Scarlett's gaze: "I heard that they plan to install the engine on the car. There are already cars in Europe that don't need horses. I think this is probably the development of land transportation. trend."
"Bonnie is right, it's just that the speed of a car with a steam engine is too slow, it's better to ride a horse, so it hasn't become popular yet,"
"Dad, if there were an engine that was more efficient than steam, wouldn't vehicles become popular?"
Rhett nodded approvingly: "It's very likely."
The two father and daughter talked endlessly when they talked about business opportunities. Although Scarlett was also keen on making money, she hadn't reached this level of fanaticism.She also knows that in recent years, Butler's business has expanded rapidly, and it generally involves industries, but she doesn't know anything about more specific things, such as discussing which engine will become a popular trend.
"Rui, De." Scarlett couldn't help calling the captain's name coldly when she saw that the topic was getting more and more deviated.
Rhett stopped immediately and made a "later" gesture to Bonnie.
"Then our topic is back to today's incident where Ella and Bonnie met a gangster." Kevin carefully brushed his presence.
Scarlett frowned: "I really can't figure it out, half of Atlanta's development was built with our family's help. Over the years, Atlanta has become the safest city in the south, even if it is a big gang , and no one dared to touch us."
That gets to the point.
Before Bonnie went home, she asked the bodyguard to take Ai back, and she went to meet the group of punks.
They were terrified when they saw her appear, fearing that she would really make them a target, and hurriedly explained the whole story of their taking on the business, and named George Bright as the mastermind.
Bonnie temporarily locked them in a house next to a primeval forest on the outskirts of Atlanta, where the forest industry that Butler Company took over a few years ago has not yet been developed.
When you come back, discuss with Rhett what you should do.
"Because someone planned it on purpose," Bonnie said, "for the purpose of pursuing Ella."
"Ah?" Such an endless amount of information, the youngest Kevin is a little bit overwhelmed, but recently there is only one person who is the hottest suitor of Ella, "So the mastermind you are talking about is George Bright , is this impossible?"
"How is it impossible?" Bonnie glanced at Ella, "This group of punks just came to Atlanta from other places. I brought a gun and bodyguards with me. After they escaped, they were all killed by our people." Got caught and they gave everything away."
Kevin: "..."
Bonnie told the whole story in one breath, and when her mouth was dry, Ella thoughtfully brought her a cup of warm tea.
—Kevin: Dumbfounded.
——Wade: With such a special pursuit skill, I really want to see if his brain structure is full of coal dust.
—Bonnie: Don't ask me, I just found out anyway.
"Since Bonnie has already found out," Rhett looked at Ella, "Ella is the one George Bright is after, so Ella, what do you think?"
Everyone pays attention to Ella.
Ella said: "I will return all his gifts." The question is, should I return it in person?
Although Ella felt sorry for those beautiful trinkets, it was these fashion accessories that made her feel good. As for George himself, she had only communicated with him out of the idea of loving the house and black. Now that he is such a person, it is better to put Everything is returned.
Bonnie just recounted the incident just now, and she didn't mention the key part. She was also afraid that other people would think that she could not pursue it with tricks, so she immediately dropped a bombshell: "Actually, I also found out that George Bright had an illegitimate child at Augusta."
"What?" Scarlett asked incredulously, "Is what you said true? An illegitimate child?"
"The foundation of the Bright family is in Augusta. When his father was the mayor of Augusta, George Bright had a lover, but the girl's family is relatively ordinary, her parents are workers, there is nothing It can help the Bright family. When Governor Bright was preparing to run for governor, this girl and her family disappeared. Our people found her in a small village called Cario in Augusta. There is only one child left, and it is said that every other month, George Bright will go back to Augusta, I think he should go back to visit the girl and the child."
The more Scarlett heard, the angrier she became: "I have illegitimate children, and still want to cheat Ella? No, I want to tell Melanie about it."
"Don't be impatient, my dear. Now the initiative is back in our hands," Rhett's mouth curled up, "I think George Bright has gone crazy, if they can't find anyone, maybe You will realize that we have found these little gangsters, then we can plan this matter slowly."
Scarlett immediately understood Rhett's meaning: "Can't we tear ourselves apart with their family?"
That's right, one side has the most power, while the other side has the most wealth, and Governor Bright is also quite friendly with them, and has not made policy decisions that are unfavorable to them for the time being.
But if you tear your face, it's another story.
Rhett made a final decision: "If possible, let them quit. I don't think it is necessary to do things so badly."
☆
In fact, as Rhett said, on the night when "Save the Beauty" was not as expected, Bright was furious in his room.
"You trash, you can't even find a few punks, and now we don't even know what happened this afternoon." George pointed at the noses of several servants and yelled, directly spraying spittle on their faces. "What if they are found by the Butler family and tell us our plan?"
One of the servants said weakly: "Maybe they also knew that things were messed up, and they escaped from Atlanta because they were afraid of offending us and the Butler family. The Butler family is only the richest man in Atlanta, and their hands should not be too long. .”
George slammed the man on the head, "You're more fucking lucky than me, what's the use of me supporting you? Don't talk nonsense to me, find someone for me, be sure to find them, and when necessary , " George originally wanted to kill the weeds, but he didn't need to be so desperate after thinking about it, so he changed his words and said: "Send them abroad, find them for me quickly!!"
"Yes, master." The servants saw that George had finished spraying, and they didn't want to bear his anger anymore, so they all prepared to run away.
"Wait," George said suddenly, everyone had to stop in resentment, George pointed to one of the servants and said, "You, it's you, stay here, and the others will go out and look for me quickly, if you can't find it, you won't Come back and see me!"
The servant who was targeted stayed in the room like a quail, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Bill, wake me up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." George crossed his arms and paced up and down the room, "The Butler family will definitely go to church tomorrow, so I will be there early tomorrow morning. "
"Understood, young master, if there is no order, I will go first."
George looked at Bill's timid expression and got angry: "Did I let you go?"
Bill: "..."
"You go and prepare. Contact the orphanage tomorrow and say that Ella and I are going to visit early in the morning the day after tomorrow. You and the dean will make arrangements."
Bill was stunned: "But young master, it seems that you haven't asked Miss Ella yet."
"You just do what you tell you to do, what are you talking about so much nonsense?"
"Yes, master! I'm going right now!" Bill was full of blood when he heard that he could finally leave.
☆
Early the next morning, the Butlers met George Bright in church.
Ella had sorted out all the presents from George Bright last night, and after breakfast she sent someone to pack and send them back.
I don't know if George Bright received it.
George stood by the door, looking like he wanted to intercept the Butler family.
Scarlett led Kevin and walked over without looking away. Bonnie took Ella's hand and was about to follow, but George moved slightly to the left, blocking their way forward.
"Good morning, Miss Ella, Miss Bonnie."
"Hello, brother George." Bonnie said with a smile.
Ella nodded towards George, even as a greeting, the two bypassed George and walked to the chapel.
George looked at the backs of the two sisters, feeling a little dazed.
Just when he was about to follow, his shoulder was suddenly hit hard. He turned his head and saw that it was Wade, the eldest son of the Butler family.
It was only then that Wade seemed to see George, and said perfunctorily, "I'm sorry, Young Bright."
George: "..."
What's going on here?Why hasn't everything gone smoothly since yesterday?
Even so, George stopped in front of the Butler family after church.
Scarlett didn't even look at him, and left with her youngest son.
Wade stood next to Ella and Bonnie, silently working part-time as a bodyguard.
George's goal was Ella, so naturally he didn't put his mind on Scarlett.
He failed yesterday, but today he is going to send another invitation to Ella: "Miss Ella, do you still remember the dress you auctioned off at the charity ball before? Father donated the money to the orphanage, and the dean a few days ago Invite me to visit, I remembered that the dress was made by you, so I hope to invite you to go with me, would you like to?"
Ella frowned. Didn't George receive the gift she returned?
It was yet another excuse that Ella couldn't refuse.
The attacking George is so powerful that he always finds a soft spot for Ella.
If they hadn't found other evidence of George, maybe Ella and George would have actually married in the end.
Thinking about it this way, it was really scary.
Ella's expression was still cold and arrogant, she said in a low voice: "Mr. Brett, I appreciate your kindness, please help me tell the dean that this is what I should do, I hope that a little bit of my kindness can make them feel happy." Orphanages are better."
George was stunned. Is this a rejection?
Just...refused?
What happened?
"Wade, Bonnie, let's go." Ella said to the two people beside her.
The more George thought about it, the more wrong he became.
Could it be that they caught those little bastards yesterday and interrogated them to find out the truth about yesterday?
Until he got home, Bill came over with a gift box, which contained all the gifts he had sent these days.
Only then did George truly realize that something was wrong.
Oh, God!Holy Mary!This is a solid real gun! ! !
The little gangster and his friends were shocked, they are newcomers, and they have never played such a high-end game before! ! !
The little gangsters looked at each other, their wretched eyes had long since disappeared, and there was only one message in their eyes:
——I rub it, she can really shoot!
——Oh my god, have they messed with someone they shouldn't have? ! ! !
——No wonder she is so calm, she doesn't need to put us in the eyes at all! ! !
——I’m the only one thinking about what will happen to that person who intends to “save the beauty” later on?
Which noble lady carries a gun with her when she travels, and she shoots as soon as she says she shoots, this time she shoots into the sky, who knows who she will target next time.
When the gangsters received this business, they thought it was a windfall. The other party was two girls, and the roads in front and behind were blocked. It was definitely enough for the five of them to encircle them.It was agreed that when the "heroes save the beauty" people came, the two sides would fight, and then they waited for the opportunity to escape, and then ran to hide in other places after getting the money. The money was enough for them to buy a car in the west. Hundred acres! !
Why is it different from what you said? ! ! !
The punks finally realized that they had been cheated by that old Thompson.
Things have come to this, whether to run or not to run, or to run badly, these are several serious problems!
"You, who wants to try?" Bonnie looked completely calm, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her beautiful almond eyes were filled with a touch of coldness, "You guys blocked us on the road so premeditated, I defend myself When you counterattacked, you accidentally fired a gun, do you think someone will complain for you?"
Old Pork laughed loudly, and said casually: "Miss Bonnie, use your usual aim, and shoot every time."
After hearing what old Polk said, Bonnie ignored it as if she had discovered something interesting, and directly nodded at the head with the muzzle of a gun, "One, two, three, four, five... Don't worry, Grandpa Polk, today's One bullet for each of them is enough."
Punks: "..."
Bonnie said unhurriedly: "I gave you a chance to run just now, what did you say? Want to run now? Isn't it a bit late?"
Bonnie's bright and delicate face did not cause any waves, but it frightened the few punks present to the point of not even daring to move.If someone had reminded them that girls could use guns, they wouldn't have come here so blindly. However, death is imminent, so what if.
It's not that they haven't seen guns before, but they really didn't expect that one day they would be threatened by a girl pointing a gun at their heads.
No matter whether you lose or not, go to death.
The leader has already begun to consider betraying the planner and that old ghost Thompson.
At this moment when the two sides were silent, there was a chaotic sound of "da da da" horseshoes, and an indignant voice came from behind the little gangster: "What are you doing?"
Little gangster: Ah, seeing such a scene and rushing over, this is a serious illness, and is this guy coming out to be a hero to save the beauty, or to save us?
Wait, isn't it a little far away, and the five of them completely cover this lady, so that guy can't see the real situation at all?
——This scene is really embarrassing.
Last night, George Bright was dragged out to eat and drink, and he was so drunk that he couldn't even remember how to get home.
When he struggled to get up the next day, the sun was already high.
After learning that Bonnie and Ai La came out, the young master hurried out with people on horseback.
Their luck was really bad. On the way over, they encountered an accident in which a carriage collided with a coal truck. A truckload of coal was spilled, and half of the street was blocked.
George was very anxious, fearing that he would not catch up when he came over, or that the gangsters would do too much to the two beauties and scare the two ladies.
Seeing that the two sides were still in a confrontational situation from a distance, he yelled at the little gangster according to the script he had imagined.
Not only did the punks not turn around according to the script, they didn't move at all.
George thought there was an accident, so he said to the servants next to him, "Hurry up."
Bonnie put the gun back in a slow manner, and the punks watched her movements, but didn't dare to move.
Mouthed to the leader: "I remember you."
Is this saying, I let you go?
The leading gangster's eyes widened, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
In the next second, he ran away.
Seeing that their boss had disappeared, the other gangsters immediately retreated in all directions.
what happened?
When George was only about ten yards away from Bonnie's carriage, from one of the punks running wildly as if fleeing, to all the punks scatter like birds and beasts, scrambling away, fearing to avoid them, shattered George's laying good script.
Bonnie took a few steps back and walked to the glass window of the carriage: "Ella, it's okay, I've already taken care of it."
The moment Ella took out the gun from Bonnie, she stopped panicking and completely calmed down.
She knew that her sister's marksmanship was taught by Rhett, and it can be said that she can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.
What's even more bizarre is that her mother agreed with Bonnie to learn marksmanship from the very beginning. When Rhett was teaching Bonnie, she took several of their children (including Kevin and Christine, who just remembered at the time) in the Listen on the sidelines.
So everyone in the family, including Aunt Melanie and Beau, knew how to use a gun.
Ella herself is not interested in guns, but she also knows how guns are used under her influence.
But it seems that Bonnie's premonition really made her very worried, otherwise why would she come out with a gun with her.
Fortunately, Bonnie was here today, otherwise, if there were only her and old Polk, that group of people might have succeeded.
"Who's here?" Ella also heard the sound of horseshoes not far away.
"A person who writes and directs himself."
"Huh?" Ella thought she didn't hear Bonnie's words clearly.
Bonnie smiled brightly: "It's nothing, George Bright is here, do you want to come down?"
When the two communicated through the glass, George Bright had jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of them.
In fact, it was too late for George to see everything clearly.
Although the little gangster had left, things had come to this point, and there was no reason for him not to show it.
So George rolled his eyes and decided to change the script to care about the two ladies.
He first pretended to look around at the wooden cart behind the wood surrounding the carriage, and asked nervously, "What happened here just now? Are you all right?"
"There was an accident," Bonnie said in a soft voice, a little embarrassed. "Ella and I were rushing to the party. I didn't expect someone to play a prank and block the road."
mischief?George frowned.
What do you mean?
So what happened before?Why did those punks who received the first payment just run away like this, don't they want to collect the final payment?
Although he couldn't comprehend what was going on in his mind, George still took a look in the carriage: "Miss Ella, are you also in the carriage?"
"That's right," Bonnie blinked her eyes innocently, "I was arguing with them just now, but they couldn't beat me and ran away by themselves. By the way, Brother George, why did you appear here?"
George: "..."
Why is it different from what you said? ! ! !
No, the two beauties must have encountered something, but they dare not tell him.George took it for granted that those punks must have said something bad, and maybe they even molested Bonnie.Ella is still in the car, so it seems that she should not be affected.
George looked upright: "If something happens, please tell me."
"Ah." Bonnie pursed her lips and made a embarrassed expression.
George immediately acted like he was listening nervously, but in fact he was overjoyed.
Finally, there is room for him to play.
But what the girl said was, "They're the ones who knocked down the logs and blocked our way. Brother George, can you help us move the logs so that we can hurry to the party? We're almost late."
The girl pouted and made a "please" gesture.
The wood on the ground is all logs that have just been seen from the forest south of Atlanta. They have not been treated yet, have sufficient water, and there are some mud and ants.
But of course George would not let go of this opportunity to express himself: "Let's quickly remove these obstructing logs for Miss Ella and Miss Bonnie." He hurriedly directed people to move the logs.
The servant who didn't understand the situation from the beginning: What's the situation? Didn't you agree to come to fight? Why did it turn into moving wood?
After George finished speaking, he turned to look at Bonnie, and said with a smile, "Miss Ella is also in the car, I'll go and say hello to her, so she doesn't have to worry."
"But..." Bonnie's eyes fell on George's servants, "They don't seem to be able to move, shall I ask Grandpa Polk to help them?"
George glanced at the servant, and spat in his heart, "Trash", "It's okay, I'll go help too. Grandpa Pok is getting old too, so don't worry."
Bonnie nodded obediently, and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother George."
George walked over unhurriedly, rolled up the sleeves of his silky white shirt, and cursed in a low voice, "Didn't I usually give you food? Is it just this little effort?"
The servant was also very aggrieved, but he only dared to say in his heart: Don't you know if you try it yourself?
Although these trees are not too thick, but each one is dead and heavy.Fortunately, when it fell down, the stack was not too high, so it didn't collapse like a domino, and it was relatively less difficult to clean up.
However, this pile of wood is enough to cause a headache.
George exhausted all his strength and blushed, but they still couldn't move it together.
One of the servants had an idea and pushed the log. He was not strong enough, but he was better than before. Several of them pushed the log to the sides with their buttocks pouted.
——This story tells us that we must not pretend to be a man, and beware of harming others and ourselves.
Bonnie looked at the row of buttocks silently, and almost couldn't help laughing. If she really laughed, the innocence pretended to be completely ruined, so she quickly stepped into the carriage and told old Polk to leave when there was enough room. Hurry up and drive away.
Old Polk has served Scarlett's family for so many years, so he naturally puts the owner first in everything - just now when Bonnie opened his eyes and said nonsense to perfuse George, even though he didn't understand what Bonnie meant, he still kept his mouth tightly shut of.
Seeing that the road was halfway through, Old Polk turned the car around again and drove towards the destination.
George and the others put all their energy into breastfeeding, and finally opened the way forward. They were about to rest and strike up a conversation with Ella, but the old black slave swung his whip vigorously, and the horse was already on the ground. In the process of stopping just now, he had accumulated enough strength, and he couldn't wait to run out as soon as he was ordered.
George watched the carriage pass by them, and when they passed by, Bonnie waved to him and said with a smile: "Brother George, thank you, my sister and I have It's urgent, goodbye."
The carriage drove away.
George was dazed for a while, unable to react.
A servant touched his sleeve boldly, "Master, do you still want to move?"
"I'll move your head!!" George roared furiously.
He deliberately arranged for Ella today, but he didn't even have time to say a word to Ella, let alone show his bravery.In order to let Ella see that he is helpful, he also worked hard to move the dirty wood.
The results of it?
on the carriage.
When Ella was leaving in the carriage, she suddenly remembered something: "Why didn't Mr. Bright come over to say hello to me?"
The lady education she received since she was a child told her that a lady should not take the initiative to get out of the car and say hello to a man, but should wait for the man to come forward before the girl should return the greeting.
So Ella sat in the car and didn't get off. She didn't expect that when the car left, the other party didn't come forward.
ah!It's too early to be happy.
Frustrating George Bright's plot, but not showing Ella that he can't be trusted.
Bonnie thought a little ruefully.
In the scene of the gangsters running away just now, Bonnie estimated that George must be extremely depressed, and she would definitely go to Thompson and the gangsters to ask what happened at that time.
However, Bonnie arranged for her own bodyguards to follow the gangsters closely in the morning. There should be no way for this group of rabble to escape the palms of these well-trained bodyguards.
"Ella..." Bonnie looked at Ella, struggling to tell her the truth.
Ella looked at her sister's hesitant expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't Bonnie take care of what happened just now?
"Actually, the gangster we met today was arranged by George Bright."
Ella looked at Bonnie in amazement: "Ah? Why do you think so? Is there something wrong?" George is the son of the governor, so he has nothing to do with these little bastards.
"Ella," Bonnie grabbed Ella's slender wrist, sat down next to her, and sincerely apologized to him: "I'm sorry for putting you in danger. In fact, I already knew that I might meet you today." In such a situation, those little gangsters were arranged by George Bright. Don't you find it strange that Bright appeared after the gangsters stopped us?"
Although Ella was still confused about the whole matter, she recalled Bonnie's performance today, and suddenly realized something: "So when you went out today, you obstructed me in every possible way, and then you brought a gun?"
In fact, Bonnie doesn't have the habit of carrying a gun when going out. Even her mother supports Bonnie's learning to use a gun, but she is always worried that the gun will go off. Usually, if Bonnie and her father go out together, Bonnie will not carry a gun.
"I originally wanted to teach Brett a lesson. In fact, I brought our bodyguards to follow us to prevent accidents." Bonnie simply handed over all the details, "I got the news Yes, because he wanted to pursue you, he arranged for these little bastards to intercept our carriage, so that he could save the beauty in front of you."
Ella said in surprise, "Did George Bright do all of this?"
"I don't need to lie to you," Bonnie carefully observed Ella's expression. Although her sister's face was a little surprised, she was still calm and self-possessed, and she didn't seem to be too much affected.
Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that although Ella softened and accepted Brett's gift, she still didn't like him.
You must know that most people in love are irrational, and there is no room for a grain of sand in their eyes. They only believe what they see with their own eyes. No matter how much evidence other people present, they may not be able to convince them.
"I know you won't lie to me." Ella showed a rare comforting smile, "You don't have to be too nervous, I'm just surprised that people use these low-level tricks to pursue others. However, you are How do you know?"
"The first two weeks," Bonnie nodded emphatically towards Ella, seeing Ella's obviously raised eyebrows, "that's the first two weeks, people have been following me, their goal is to follow me and Yours, but they found that you seldom go out, so they followed me all the time..."
"And then you found out?"
"I brought someone directly to the door, and then asked her to tell me all the plans?"
"Her? Female?"
This incident has not completely passed, and Bonnie has sent someone to protect Louise and David to prevent Thompson or George from finding the two siblings.
"Yes, that's right, I can let you meet her, and she can prove what George did." After this incident passed, Bonnie originally planned to arrange for Ella to meet Louise.
Ella didn't think too much about meeting a stranger. Her younger sister was the closest person she had been to since she was a child. She couldn't even believe her younger sister.
But Bonnie's serious look made Ella decide to meet this girl who dared to follow Bonnie.
Next, all the way calm.
The two arrived at their destination, and after getting out of the carriage together, Bonnie suddenly saw someone running up on a horse not far away.
Ella also noticed that it was her bodyguard, she glanced at Bonnie with doubts, and got affirmative doctor.
Bonnie smiled and said to the two: "Ella, you and Catherine go in first, I have leaked something in the car, I'll go back and get it, I'll just go up by myself later."
Ella looked at Catherine, "Then let's go in first, I'm sorry we encountered some accidents on the way, so we were delayed for some time, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Bonnie stayed where she was, and the rider quickly ran up to Bonnie, nodded towards Bonnie, and gave a thumbs up again.
This gesture indicated that the siege plan was successful. Bonnie turned around and walked to the carriage, flipped it casually, and then walked towards Catherine's mansion.
☆
After dinner that day, the Butler family sat on the soft orange lambskin sofa, saying that it was newly replaced, and it was more comfortable to sit on than the previous hard leather sofa.
Although Rhett was not used to it, as long as Scarlett and her children didn't like it, he would be content to pay the money.The new sofa still smells of fur, but Scarlett said she loves it.
Rhett put his arms around Scarlett's waist, making her lean comfortably in his arms, Bonnie and Ella sat beside Scarlett, and Little Kevin and Wade sat opposite.
Ella and Bonnie tell the others about meeting the punks today.
"I thought the law and order in Atlanta was already very good," Scarlett touched Rhett's waist with her elbow, "and the carriage, Rhett, do you still remember when Melanie was pregnant with Christine?" , we were stopped by a group of workers on strike, and Melanie was almost killed..." After all, this was a bad memory, so she stopped talking about it halfway.
Wade thought about it for a while: "I remember that time, when Aunt Lani almost died. Thanks to Grandpa Meade's superb medical skills, Aunt Lani came back to life and gave birth to Christine smoothly."
"It was that time," Scarlett nodded, "Although the carriage is convenient, it is too easy to be stopped, and riding a horse is also very dangerous." Her beautiful eyes were directly fixed on Bonnie, meaning said pointingly.
Bonnie naturally knew that Scarlett meant that she didn't want her to ride a horse. It seemed that the incident of little Bonnie falling off the horse still left Scarlett with an indelible shadow.
She tilted her head, pretending not to see Scarlett's gaze: "I heard that they plan to install the engine on the car. There are already cars in Europe that don't need horses. I think this is probably the development of land transportation. trend."
"Bonnie is right, it's just that the speed of a car with a steam engine is too slow, it's better to ride a horse, so it hasn't become popular yet,"
"Dad, if there were an engine that was more efficient than steam, wouldn't vehicles become popular?"
Rhett nodded approvingly: "It's very likely."
The two father and daughter talked endlessly when they talked about business opportunities. Although Scarlett was also keen on making money, she hadn't reached this level of fanaticism.She also knows that in recent years, Butler's business has expanded rapidly, and it generally involves industries, but she doesn't know anything about more specific things, such as discussing which engine will become a popular trend.
"Rui, De." Scarlett couldn't help calling the captain's name coldly when she saw that the topic was getting more and more deviated.
Rhett stopped immediately and made a "later" gesture to Bonnie.
"Then our topic is back to today's incident where Ella and Bonnie met a gangster." Kevin carefully brushed his presence.
Scarlett frowned: "I really can't figure it out, half of Atlanta's development was built with our family's help. Over the years, Atlanta has become the safest city in the south, even if it is a big gang , and no one dared to touch us."
That gets to the point.
Before Bonnie went home, she asked the bodyguard to take Ai back, and she went to meet the group of punks.
They were terrified when they saw her appear, fearing that she would really make them a target, and hurriedly explained the whole story of their taking on the business, and named George Bright as the mastermind.
Bonnie temporarily locked them in a house next to a primeval forest on the outskirts of Atlanta, where the forest industry that Butler Company took over a few years ago has not yet been developed.
When you come back, discuss with Rhett what you should do.
"Because someone planned it on purpose," Bonnie said, "for the purpose of pursuing Ella."
"Ah?" Such an endless amount of information, the youngest Kevin is a little bit overwhelmed, but recently there is only one person who is the hottest suitor of Ella, "So the mastermind you are talking about is George Bright , is this impossible?"
"How is it impossible?" Bonnie glanced at Ella, "This group of punks just came to Atlanta from other places. I brought a gun and bodyguards with me. After they escaped, they were all killed by our people." Got caught and they gave everything away."
Kevin: "..."
Bonnie told the whole story in one breath, and when her mouth was dry, Ella thoughtfully brought her a cup of warm tea.
—Kevin: Dumbfounded.
——Wade: With such a special pursuit skill, I really want to see if his brain structure is full of coal dust.
—Bonnie: Don't ask me, I just found out anyway.
"Since Bonnie has already found out," Rhett looked at Ella, "Ella is the one George Bright is after, so Ella, what do you think?"
Everyone pays attention to Ella.
Ella said: "I will return all his gifts." The question is, should I return it in person?
Although Ella felt sorry for those beautiful trinkets, it was these fashion accessories that made her feel good. As for George himself, she had only communicated with him out of the idea of loving the house and black. Now that he is such a person, it is better to put Everything is returned.
Bonnie just recounted the incident just now, and she didn't mention the key part. She was also afraid that other people would think that she could not pursue it with tricks, so she immediately dropped a bombshell: "Actually, I also found out that George Bright had an illegitimate child at Augusta."
"What?" Scarlett asked incredulously, "Is what you said true? An illegitimate child?"
"The foundation of the Bright family is in Augusta. When his father was the mayor of Augusta, George Bright had a lover, but the girl's family is relatively ordinary, her parents are workers, there is nothing It can help the Bright family. When Governor Bright was preparing to run for governor, this girl and her family disappeared. Our people found her in a small village called Cario in Augusta. There is only one child left, and it is said that every other month, George Bright will go back to Augusta, I think he should go back to visit the girl and the child."
The more Scarlett heard, the angrier she became: "I have illegitimate children, and still want to cheat Ella? No, I want to tell Melanie about it."
"Don't be impatient, my dear. Now the initiative is back in our hands," Rhett's mouth curled up, "I think George Bright has gone crazy, if they can't find anyone, maybe You will realize that we have found these little gangsters, then we can plan this matter slowly."
Scarlett immediately understood Rhett's meaning: "Can't we tear ourselves apart with their family?"
That's right, one side has the most power, while the other side has the most wealth, and Governor Bright is also quite friendly with them, and has not made policy decisions that are unfavorable to them for the time being.
But if you tear your face, it's another story.
Rhett made a final decision: "If possible, let them quit. I don't think it is necessary to do things so badly."
☆
In fact, as Rhett said, on the night when "Save the Beauty" was not as expected, Bright was furious in his room.
"You trash, you can't even find a few punks, and now we don't even know what happened this afternoon." George pointed at the noses of several servants and yelled, directly spraying spittle on their faces. "What if they are found by the Butler family and tell us our plan?"
One of the servants said weakly: "Maybe they also knew that things were messed up, and they escaped from Atlanta because they were afraid of offending us and the Butler family. The Butler family is only the richest man in Atlanta, and their hands should not be too long. .”
George slammed the man on the head, "You're more fucking lucky than me, what's the use of me supporting you? Don't talk nonsense to me, find someone for me, be sure to find them, and when necessary , " George originally wanted to kill the weeds, but he didn't need to be so desperate after thinking about it, so he changed his words and said: "Send them abroad, find them for me quickly!!"
"Yes, master." The servants saw that George had finished spraying, and they didn't want to bear his anger anymore, so they all prepared to run away.
"Wait," George said suddenly, everyone had to stop in resentment, George pointed to one of the servants and said, "You, it's you, stay here, and the others will go out and look for me quickly, if you can't find it, you won't Come back and see me!"
The servant who was targeted stayed in the room like a quail, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Bill, wake me up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." George crossed his arms and paced up and down the room, "The Butler family will definitely go to church tomorrow, so I will be there early tomorrow morning. "
"Understood, young master, if there is no order, I will go first."
George looked at Bill's timid expression and got angry: "Did I let you go?"
Bill: "..."
"You go and prepare. Contact the orphanage tomorrow and say that Ella and I are going to visit early in the morning the day after tomorrow. You and the dean will make arrangements."
Bill was stunned: "But young master, it seems that you haven't asked Miss Ella yet."
"You just do what you tell you to do, what are you talking about so much nonsense?"
"Yes, master! I'm going right now!" Bill was full of blood when he heard that he could finally leave.
☆
Early the next morning, the Butlers met George Bright in church.
Ella had sorted out all the presents from George Bright last night, and after breakfast she sent someone to pack and send them back.
I don't know if George Bright received it.
George stood by the door, looking like he wanted to intercept the Butler family.
Scarlett led Kevin and walked over without looking away. Bonnie took Ella's hand and was about to follow, but George moved slightly to the left, blocking their way forward.
"Good morning, Miss Ella, Miss Bonnie."
"Hello, brother George." Bonnie said with a smile.
Ella nodded towards George, even as a greeting, the two bypassed George and walked to the chapel.
George looked at the backs of the two sisters, feeling a little dazed.
Just when he was about to follow, his shoulder was suddenly hit hard. He turned his head and saw that it was Wade, the eldest son of the Butler family.
It was only then that Wade seemed to see George, and said perfunctorily, "I'm sorry, Young Bright."
George: "..."
What's going on here?Why hasn't everything gone smoothly since yesterday?
Even so, George stopped in front of the Butler family after church.
Scarlett didn't even look at him, and left with her youngest son.
Wade stood next to Ella and Bonnie, silently working part-time as a bodyguard.
George's goal was Ella, so naturally he didn't put his mind on Scarlett.
He failed yesterday, but today he is going to send another invitation to Ella: "Miss Ella, do you still remember the dress you auctioned off at the charity ball before? Father donated the money to the orphanage, and the dean a few days ago Invite me to visit, I remembered that the dress was made by you, so I hope to invite you to go with me, would you like to?"
Ella frowned. Didn't George receive the gift she returned?
It was yet another excuse that Ella couldn't refuse.
The attacking George is so powerful that he always finds a soft spot for Ella.
If they hadn't found other evidence of George, maybe Ella and George would have actually married in the end.
Thinking about it this way, it was really scary.
Ella's expression was still cold and arrogant, she said in a low voice: "Mr. Brett, I appreciate your kindness, please help me tell the dean that this is what I should do, I hope that a little bit of my kindness can make them feel happy." Orphanages are better."
George was stunned. Is this a rejection?
Just...refused?
What happened?
"Wade, Bonnie, let's go." Ella said to the two people beside her.
The more George thought about it, the more wrong he became.
Could it be that they caught those little bastards yesterday and interrogated them to find out the truth about yesterday?
Until he got home, Bill came over with a gift box, which contained all the gifts he had sent these days.
Only then did George truly realize that something was wrong.
