Chapter 104 It's Reasonable to Be Rich and Adopt a Daughter
There was a lot of noise in London because of the robbery of the Lauder Bank more than ten days ago, and some gossip has also spread that the bank was stolen because of Princess Margaery.
It was also because of this that Li Changheng dared to ask Annie to take the photo back.
Otherwise, Philip would definitely be thinking, how did you, an 18-year-old kid in the United States, know such a confidential matter?
If that happens, it would be the best explanation to admit that Guo Da Statham was robbed by gangsters.
Because, only in this way can he show that he knows the secret of the royal family is a coincidence, rather than deliberate calculation and prying.
Now that there are rumors about Margaery on the market, needless to say, it must be the leader of the Gray Gang who got the photo and was expelled from England.
After learning that Lauder Bank was stolen and burned, he would definitely think that it was done by people from MI5.
Since the handle was destroyed and he was expelled from the country, losing control of the Gray Gang, why didn't he take revenge?
It's a pity that this guy can't understand how powerful a country is.
Moreover, while using power, if they are willing to make some exchanges with the media, let alone the indecent photos of Margaery, even the matter of Philip having an illegitimate child can be suppressed.
Wait, I don't know if Philip has an illegitimate child.
The only thing that is certain is that that idiot must have died in a corner at this time.
No matter how incompetent MI5 is, it is still very easy to deal with a gray gang leader who has lost power and is known to all the details.
At this time, Li Changheng handed over the photo of himself and Annie to Philip, telling him that he could help the royal family to make suggestions.
If Philip hadn't thought of the idea of using big news to cover up the scandal, his impression of Li Changheng would definitely change for the better.
And if Philip had thought of this early in the morning, as Li Changheng thought, and a young man could think of a place with him, would Philip have the idea that heroes see the same thing?
Wouldn't it be easier for Philip to accept a daughter's boyfriend who can make money and start to show his worth?
Li Changheng originally wanted to send Annie home, but the little girl was probably worried that his idea was unreliable, so she procrastinated and said that she would go back to the hotel with him to pack her luggage, and then move to a new home together.
After seeing the house by the way, ask Ms. Meryl to help you purchase some needed items.
After returning to the hotel, the lobby manager walked over quickly as soon as he saw him.
He said eagerly, "Sir, there is a Mr. Hopkins who called four times in a row today, asking if you have returned to the hotel?"
Hearing that Frank was still using the fake surname of Hopkins, and had so many conversations in one day, Li Changheng frowned and asked, "Did he leave his contact information?"
"There is a phone number in Johannesburg, South Africa," the lobby manager nodded hurriedly, and then handed over a card with both hands.
Hearing this, Li Changheng breathed a sigh of relief. Needless to say, the call will be forwarded to Sierra Leone.
"Thank you", said thank you, put his hand into his pocket, randomly drew a $10 bill and handed it to the lobby manager.
Only then did Annie, who had been covering her cheeks with a scarf and bowed her head while wearing a hat, go upstairs.
"Honey, let me help you pack your luggage." After entering the suite, Annie said thoughtfully, "Go and make a phone call first."
"En," Li Changheng smiled and kissed Annie's forehead, and was about to walk to the phone when he suddenly thought that carved double-barreled shotguns were nothing, as there were many such toys in England's aristocratic homes.
But the Remington M700, which has been hidden in the chocolate bar and carried a ten-power telescope, may cause Anne's uneasiness.
After thinking about it, he simply lowered his head and whispered in Annie's ear, "There is a piece of chocolate in the suitcase in the bedroom cloakroom. I hid something in it. If you are curious, you can open it yourself."
"I won't do things that spy on your secrets."
Annie rolled Li Changheng's eyes, with an unhappy expression on her face, but her heart was like ants crawling.
Especially when holding a piece of chocolate that is one meter long, thirty centimeters wide, and high, an irresistible impulse lingers in her heart all the time.
He forced himself to divert his attention, and when he started to pack other things, he saw a double-barreled shotgun in a carved wooden box, copper shotgun bullets, and Colt python dummies.
He couldn't help but think of the bright silver revolver that Li Changheng kept by his side all the time during the past three days, and suddenly had a clear realization that what was hidden in the chocolate bar must also be a weapon.
Annie couldn't help curling her lips and muttering 'violent maniac', but her heart quickly calmed down.
Every year on the 26th of the second day of Christmas, not only Philip will go to Sandringham Manor in Norfolk, but even his two brothers and even his mother will go to participate in winter hunting.
Annie, who was used to seeing all kinds of shotguns, didn't take the matter of weapons to heart at all. Instead, under the influence of her father and brother, she felt that it was normal for men to like guns.
Even, after Annie opened the carved wooden box and picked up the two bucks shotgun over there, she easily turned on the trigger to help Li Changheng check whether the gun was a good one.
Although she hadn't used it much, she saw many shotguns custom-made by her father and two brothers. After checking them out, Annie nodded happily.
He simply muttered "not bad".
But soon she frowned, and when she raised the shotgun, she saw a name in small font hidden in the engraving on the bolt.
"Konrad Adenauer", why does it sound like a German name?
He walked out of the bedroom with the shotgun flipped up, revealing the loading port, just in time to see Li Changheng hung up the phone, "Honey, is this shotgun you gave away?"
Just as he was about to say that he bought it newly, Li Changheng changed his words abruptly, "It is indeed for giving away, but unfortunately the business has not been completed, so this gun can only be left empty."
Of course, if you can keep Anne from the fact that you went to Switzerland half a month ago, you have to keep it a secret, otherwise you will be a fool if you tell your lover and wife everything.
"That's a pity," Annie said regretfully, "However, the engraving of this shotgun is still very good, otherwise, I'll ask someone to remove your friend's name for you.
Even if your name is no longer engraved, you can use it for hunting yourself."
"OK, you can figure it out," Li Changheng nodded after thinking about it for a while.
The previous owner of this shotgun was just a carver in his early years, and normally there was no need to guard against anyone knowing him.
But since Anne already knew, if she was not asked to find someone to remove the name on the shotgun, it would keep her in mind.
Now that I agreed casually, Annie would not pay much attention to it, and she might forget about it in a few days.
"I will continue to work."
Annie, who got a new mission, didn't care about the news anymore, thinking about whether to find a dedicated gun repairer at home, or send someone to a gun workshop.
In a few seconds, she decided to send it to the workshop, so as not to spread the word to her mother and have to be called to ask again and again.
Watching Annie enter the bedroom to help him tidy up, Li Changheng sat on the sofa and rubbed his forehead depressed.
Frank called in a hurry, because it turned out to be about the diamond certificate.
PS: I would like to ask everyone, is there any sentence in English that is similar to what the hero sees?
When writing Western urban essays, I try not to use Chinese proverbs as much as possible. Unfortunately, my level is limited, so I can only ask everyone for advice.
It's better to change this sentence, thank you.
