Zhou Tianxiang was stunned. He didn't expect Old Charles to be so ruthless this time. However, Zhou Tianxiang was really in a dilemma. He didn't want to interfere with his daughter's affairs. Who his daughter liked was her own business. Zhou Tianxiang would only support and not oppose.
Originally, he felt that he owed his daughter a lot. He was not at home these years, and he didn't fulfill his responsibility as a father, so he was even less qualified to ask his daughter for anything!
However, now there was a quite serious problem. That was, if what Old Charles said to him was true, and he really wanted him to pack up and leave, then the matter was a bit big!
It wasn't that Zhou Tianxiang was reluctant to part with this job. On the contrary, he was very willing to return to Song Jiang and reunite with his family. After all, Mother Zhou's business was also very profitable, and his daughter had grown up. He didn't need to worry too much. How happy would it be for the family of three to live together in peace?
However, could Zhou Tianxiang let him go like this? Zhou Tianxiang, the butler, knew better than anyone what the Charles Family did. He knew too much about the inside story of the Charles Family. Would Old Charles let him go?
What Zhou Tianxiang was afraid of was that once he left, the assassin sent by Old Charles would find him and kill him directly. This was what Zhou Tianxiang was worried about.
So after Zhou Tianxiang was called by Old Charles to talk, he sat alone in the room and smoked. He didn't know how to solve this matter.
The internal phone in the room suddenly rang. Zhou Tianxiang was shocked and hurriedly picked up the phone. It was still Old Charles who called!
"Butler Zhou, have you considered it?" Old Charles's voice came from the phone, making Zhou Tianxiang very depressed.
"Master, this is a big matter after all. You have to let me think about it." Zhou Tianxiang knew that he was delaying time no matter what he said now. He had no good countermeasures at all.
"What is there to think about? Just tell me if you can or not. I don't have so much patience!" Old Charles said, "Let's do this. Tonight, you give me an answer. Otherwise, you can leave directly!"
"This … okay!" Zhou Tianxiang sighed. What will come will come … It seems that I really can't avoid this disaster this time.
Old Charles hung up the phone coldly. Zhou Tianxiang had to make a decision as soon as possible. There was only less than half a day left.
From the first day Zhou Tianxiang followed the Charles Family, he knew that he might not have a good ending, so he rarely mentioned the things here to Mother Zhou and Zhou Jiajia. He just said that he was working for a big family outside. Although Mother Zhou was reluctant, Zhou Tianxiang could bring back a large sum of money every year. Moreover, Zhou Tianxiang said that he would stop after a few years, so Mother Zhou reluctantly agreed.
But she didn't know the inside story, so now, Zhou Tianxiang had to confess everything to her.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianxiang sighed, picked up the phone, and dialed Mother Zhou, who was far away on the other side of the world.
"Hey, it's me." Zhou Tianxiang's voice was a little low.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong? Why are you calling me out of the blue? " Mother Zhou was a little surprised. Generally, Zhou Tianxiang would call her at a fixed time, but today was obviously not.
"Something happened to me …" Although Zhou Tianxiang didn't want to say it, there was no other way. Some things had to be explained in advance.
"Something happened? What do you mean? "Mother Zhou's expression tightened and asked quickly.
"Actually, I haven't told you and Jiajia the truth. The work I do here …" Zhou Tianxiang sighed helplessly. "It's actually being a butler for an assassin organization …"
"Ah!" Mother Zhou was shocked, and her tone was somewhat unnatural. "Old Zhou, today is not April Fool's Day. Are you kidding me?"
"No!" Zhou Tianxiang said affirmatively, "Dear, listen to me. All this is true … If I can work until I retire, maybe they can let me go, but now … I'm afraid it won't work …"
"Old Zhou, then you can work until you retire. It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. Jiajia and I are waiting for you to come back!" Mother Zhou was shocked and said quickly.
"I'm afraid it won't work …" Zhou Tianxiang said, "The manager of the family just made some very excessive requests to me. I can't promise him …"
"What request?" Mother Zhou was a little excited. "Old Zhou, what request does he want? Just promise him. As long as he is there, everything is fine. Does he want money? I can give him all the money on my side. We don't want anything … "
"It's not a matter of money …" Zhou Tianxiang smiled bitterly. "They are not short of money … It's not easy to say … It's the master's son. I don't know why, but he ran to Song Jiang. As a result, he saw Jiajia. This is also a coincidence. I don't know how he recognized Jiajia as my daughter, and he fell in love with Jiajia at first sight, so the master just proposed to me …"
"Ah?" Mother Zhou only felt that this matter was a bit too dramatic after listening, right? How can this be related? "Your master won't use this as an excuse to deal with you, right?"
It was no wonder that Mother Zhou would be suspicious. After all, this was a place that was far apart. The master's son ran to Song Jiang? No matter how he looked at it, this sounded a little strange.
"No … I'm sure." Zhou Tianxiang sighed. "This time, I basically can't avoid it. I will now tell you my account in the Swiss bank. There are sixty million US dollars in it. I have accumulated this money over the years. Because the number is so huge, I didn't dare to tell you. Now, I will leave this money to you and Jiajia …"
"Wait …" Mother Zhou now really realized the seriousness of the matter. Zhou Tianxiang's tone was already giving his last words. "Old Zhou, have you asked Jiajia about this matter? Is there some kind of hidden story or misunderstanding? "
"Not yet. I will call Jiajia in a while." Zhou Tianxiang smiled bitterly. "However, there should be no misunderstanding."
"Then can you promise him first, then delay it. Let's think about it in the long run. Or after you promise him, say that you have to go home to prepare, and then never return to Europe again? Anyway, in China, he can't do anything to you. "Mother Zhou said quickly.
"Ai …" Zhou Tianxiang shook his head. "Don't forget what the Charles Family does. They are an assassin group! I am all over the world. It can be said that if I am on this earth, I will be in danger of being assassinated, and you will be implicated! "
Mother Zhou had no concept of assassins, but after listening to Zhou Tianxiang's words, she was very shocked. She didn't know what to do.
"If that's the case … then … then … what should I do …" Mother Zhou had no way, and her voice sounded a little helpless.
"There is no way." Zhou Tianxiang sighed. "Tonight is the last time limit. Now I will call Jiajia, and then contact you …"
"Okay, okay!" Mother Zhou was also in a mess now. She didn't know what to do.
Zhou Tianxiang dialed Zhou Jiajia's phone number. At this moment, Zhou Jiajia was in the villa, chatting with Yang Ming through a video call. Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun were also on the side.
The phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Zhou Jiajia was stunned for a moment. She hesitated to answer the phone. After all, Yang Ming finally chatted with them. Zhou Jiajia was somewhat reluctant to give up this opportunity.
Yang Ming also saw Zhou Jiajia's dilemma over there, so he smiled and said, "Jiajia, go and answer the phone first. Maybe it is your family. I have nothing to do tonight. I will just chat with you all the time."
"Then … I am going." Zhou Jiajia nodded obediently, went out of the room, and picked up the phone.
"Jiajia, are you okay?" Zhou Tianxiang said with some emotion. His daughter was so old, and the days he spent with her were less than two years.
"Dad?" Zhou Jiajia was stunned. She didn't expect her father to call at this time, but she was a little surprised. "Dad, why did you suddenly call me?"
"… nothing. Dad just misses you. I want to hear your voice." Zhou Tianxiang didn't know how to speak. For Mother Zhou, he could say his current situation without any scruples, but for Zhou Jiajia, Zhou Tianxiang was afraid that he would say too much and make his daughter worry.
"Dad, is there anything wrong with you?" Zhou Jiajia was also very sensitive. She was already nineteen years old. She was not a little girl who didn't know anything. Especially after experiencing the Wang Zhitao incident, Zhou Jiajia was more mature.
Zhou Tianxiang didn't expect Zhou Jiajia to be so sensitive. She noticed something after just a few words. He sighed helplessly. "Jiajia, do you know a person named Charles?"
"Charles?" Zhou Jiajia was stunned and fell into contemplation. This name was very strange. She had never heard of it, but since her father asked, there must be a very important thing, so Zhou Jiajia thought about it carefully.
"You don't know him?" Zhou Tianxiang didn't expect his daughter to seem like she didn't know anything.
"I seem to remember. I have a bit of an impression … Once, when I was eating with Yang Ming, there was a guy who claimed to be the God of Racing, Karsi. He talked to me. He seemed to have a good impression of me …" Zhou Jiajia finally remembered who Charles was. "What's wrong, Dad? Why did you suddenly ask about this person?"
"Sure enough … he really knows you." Zhou Tianxiang finally confirmed it. "Jiajia, your mother will rely on you to take care of her in the future …"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you so weird? "Zhou Jiajia listened in confusion. What do you mean that my mother will rely on me to take care of her in the future? What about me?
"Nothing …" Zhou Tianxiang was most reluctant to part with his baby daughter. He didn't love her much since she was a child. Zhou Tianxiang still wanted to do his duty as a father after a few years of retirement, but now, he was afraid that he couldn't …
"Dad, you must have something. Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Jiajia said anxiously.
"Nothing. It's really nothing. Okay, dad just wants to hear your voice." Zhou Tianxiang was afraid that he couldn't help but cry, so he quickly said, "Okay, that's it …"
"Dad, does mom know? I will call mom now! "How could Zhou Jiajia just let it go? She wasn't stupid. She realized that something must have happened.
"Okay …" Zhou Tianxiang finally nodded. He felt that it was necessary to let his daughter have the right to know. After all, his daughter would ask for the truth when she called her mother. It was better for him to talk to his daughter.
"En, you say it quickly." Seeing that her father had relented, Zhou Jiajia also breathed a sigh of relief and held the phone tightly.
"In fact, Dad is abroad, not doing business …" Zhou Tianxiang said, "Instead, I am working as a butler for an assassin group. They are engaged in some assassination business. I am the butler of this family, responsible for some complicated affairs … If it goes well, in a few years, the family's master will see that I have worked hard for half of my life. Maybe he will allow me to retire safely … But now, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why? Dad, did you do something wrong? " Zhou Jiajia was shocked. Although she was very shocked that her father was actually working for an assassin group, Zhou Jiajia's current psychological endurance was much greater. She didn't ask too many questions. After all, she didn't think that her father would lie to her at this time.
"I have to talk about it bit by bit …" Zhou Tianxiang said, "That Charles is actually the young master of the family that I work for – the Charles Family. I don't know how he went to Song Jiang to meet you … but according to the master, he fell in love with you at first sight, so the master came to me today to propose marriage. He wants you to marry him … and gave me two choices. He asked me to give him an answer before tonight – either you marry his son, Charles. Do you want it? Then I will pack up and leave the Charles Family … "
"Then just quit. Isn't it great that you come back and be with your mother?" Zhou Jiajia didn't understand why her father was worried. Isn't this a good thing?
Moreover, that Charles is actually the young master of the family that my father works for. Isn't this too amazing? Zhou Jiajia was a little confused, but it seems that Charles seems to be afraid of Yang Ming, right? Then, what is the identity of Yang Ming?
Zhou Jiajia had some doubts about Yang Ming's other identities, but she had never asked because she felt that it was unnecessary. She liked Yang Ming. No matter what Yang Ming did or what identity he had, he was still Yang Ming after all. He was the person she loved, so Zhou Jiajia didn't ask much.
But now things were getting more and more complicated. Zhou Jiajia inevitably thought of Yang Ming unnaturally.
"How can it be so simple?!" Zhou Tianxiang sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "I know too many secrets of the Charles family, and this time, I'm going against them. I'm not retiring peacefully. I can feel the anger in the master's eyes. I'm afraid that once I leave this time, the assassin will be dispatched to kill me …"
Zhou Jiajia frowned. If it is really like what my father said, then it is a big deal!
"Is there no room for manoeuvre?" Zhou Jiajia didn't like that Charles at all. It was impossible for her to marry Charles, but she was also worried about her father's safety. For a time, Zhou Jiajia was in a dilemma.
"Hehe, don't worry, Jiajia. Dad won't force you to do anything. It's just that Dad may not be able to wait until the day of your wedding. I can't watch you put on the wedding dress …" Speaking of this, Zhou Tianxiang's voice was a little choked. He was afraid that he couldn't control his emotions, so he quickly said, "Okay, Jiajia, Dad wishes you happiness …"
After that, Zhou Tianxiang hung up the phone. He was not afraid that Zhou Jiajia would do something stupid for him because the headquarters of the Charles Family was very secretive. If one wasn't in the industry, one couldn't know where they were. So, Zhou Jiajia couldn't find him. Even if Zhou Jiajia gave up love to save him, she couldn't find the place.
That was why Zhou Tianxiang told Zhou Jiajia the whole story. He wasn't afraid of the consequences.
"Dad …" Zhou Jiajia still wanted to say something, but she looked at the phone that already showed that the call was over. She shook her head helplessly. Although she could use technical means to invade the mobile phone carrier's network, then find the transfer server layer by layer. Finally, she determined the number of the call, but it would take a long time! Her father said that she had to give an answer "tonight." In such a short time, even if Zhou Jiajia was a master hacker, she couldn't achieve it!
Zhou Jiajia sighed and walked back to the room with a heavy heart. She wanted to call her mother, but she also knew that her father would definitely continue to talk to her mother at this time.
"Jiajia, you're back? Just now, Yang Ming asked why you were gone for so long. He missed you! "Chen Mengyan saw Zhou Jiajia come back and couldn't help but tease.
"Oh … hehe …" Zhou Jiajia smiled very reluctantly.
"Jiajia, what's wrong with you?" Chen Mengyan saw that Zhou Jiajia's smile was very unnatural and asked with some doubts.
"Nothing …" Zhou Jiajia didn't want everyone to chat because of her emotions during this happy time.
"Jiajia, who called you just now? What happened? " Yang Ming was the best at observing people's expressions. Although it was far away, he still saw Zhou Jiajia's emotional loss from the camera.
"No … nothing …" Zhou Jiajia smiled awkwardly. "I just … I just feel a little uncomfortable …"
"Jiajia, you look a little absent-minded now. This lie is really not true." Yang Ming frowned. "Now that everyone is a family, is there anything you can't tell me?"
"I …" Under Yang Ming's questioning, Zhou Jiajia could no longer control her emotions. Her tears fell involuntarily. "Yang Ming … can you save my father …"
"Your father? What happened to your father? "Yang Ming was stunned and asked immediately.
