Alice suddenly broke free from her sister's embrace and opened her arms in front of Jiang Cheng. She shouted at Barter, "Dad!" There was anger and sadness in her eyes, "Please don't meddle in the matters between me and Brother Jiang Cheng." With a serious expression, her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were wide open as she stared at Barter.
"Alice, you … move away." Barter looked at Alice and raised his hand to push her away. But when his hand reached forward, he hesitated. He couldn't bear to touch Alice's thin and weak body.
Barter doted on Alice the most. It could be said that she was his favorite person in the world. There were two reasons for this. The first was that Alice's mother was shot before she was even 30 years old because of him. That woman was Barter's first love. Barter and Alice fell in love when they were 15 or 16 years old. Alice's current appearance was exactly the same as her mother at that time.
Barter gently pushed Alice twice, but Alice firmly stood in the same place. Her body didn't move at all. She was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, although she didn't realize that she was the weak chick.
After a while, Barter gave up. He sighed and said to Alice, "Alice, move away. Don't worry, I won't use that method again. After all, I lost just now."
"Alice, let me talk to your dad. I think he won't force me this time." Jiang Cheng said with a faint smile.
Alice slightly frowned. Although she was still standing in front of Jiang Cheng, her expression wasn't as firm as before. She seemed to be hesitating whether she should move away or not.
Pelia stepped forward and pulled Alice's hand, "Alice, let's go back to the room to play." She said and pulled Alice to the stairs. Alice was pulled up the stairs step by step. Her eyes were full of worry as she stared at Jiang Cheng and Barter. She put her slender fingers in her cherry mouth and gently sucked them. Her melancholy expression was really cute and pitiful.
At the bottom of the stairs, Jiang Cheng and Bart also looked at Alice and Pelia. They watched them go upstairs and disappear into a room.
"Well, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Cheng calmly turned his head and looked at Barter, "If it's about the matter just now, my answer is still the same. I can't accept it."
Barter was silent. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng, "No, I want to talk to you about another matter, but it's also about Alice. Of course, it has a lot to do with the future of your Lung Hing Society in France. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Cheng showed a trace of surprise and asked, "Tell me."
Barter took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and said while smoking, "Your Lung Hing Society killed a lot of black people in the battle with the Martin Gang yesterday. There were dozens of them." At the same time, he stared at Jiang Cheng, "If this matter is investigated by the French police, do you know how much trouble it will be?"
Jiang Cheng's face changed. He didn't expect this guy to be so well-informed. It was only yesterday's battle, but he even knew about the losses of the Martin Gang. Dozens of people died. In a place like the 17th district, it was easy to deal with the police. However, if someone interfered, it would be hard to say. If the police really investigated, it would definitely be a big trouble.
"Do you want to threaten me with this matter?" Jiang Cheng looked at Barter coldly and asked.
"No." Barter shook his head. Barter shook his head. "I don't plan to do that, but that Martin Luther will definitely do it. The higher-ups of the Dragonrise Union have no means of defense."
"Who are you? How can you investigate so clearly? "Jiang Cheng asked.
"Hehe …" Barter chuckled and raised his hand to hold the cigar between his fingers. He looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile, "My name is Barter. Even if I don't say it, you should be able to guess it. That's right, I'm the leader of the underworld family in France for 200 years. If your Lung Hing Society wants to develop in France, you should have heard of my name."
"You are Barter?!" Jiang Cheng was shocked.
Of course, he had heard of this name, and he knew it on the first day he arrived in France. It was one of the three major forces of the French underworld, and the current leader of the family, Barter, was known as the Bull of the underworld. It wasn't because he was reckless and reckless, but because he was decisive and resolute. No matter what happened, he would solve it in the fastest way possible. It was also rumored that he was also a cruel and merciless guy.
But this person in front of him … Jiang Cheng stared at Barter. No matter how he looked at it, this person seemed to be crazy about his daughter. The only thing that could show this guy's decisiveness was the moment he gave the order to kill Jiang Cheng.
"Why, you don't believe me?" Barter asked faintly.
This sentence woke Jiang Cheng up. He shook his head and said, "No, it should be said that I've already expected it. It's just that I'm a little surprised to see it confirmed." What he said was the truth. He had long guessed the identity of the Alice Family in his heart. After all, not every family could make a medium-sized gang leader like Bellaire tremble in fear and trepidation. Among these many guesses, the Barter Family was also one of the targets.
Actually, the Barter family shouldn't be called that because the official name of this family should be the Pallard family. The reason why the underworld people called it that was because the leader of the Pallard family was called Barter, and he was a very capable leader.
As for Alice and Pelia, their names should actually be Pallard Alice and Pallard Pelia.
Barter was a little surprised by Jiang Cheng's answer. He looked at him in amazement and then slowly said, "What I want to talk to you about is about the leadership and control of the Lung Hing Society in the future."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"It's very simple. I can provide police and legal protection to the Lung Hing Society. In other words, no matter what you do in the future, as long as you don't go too far, the police won't find trouble with you. This also includes the Martin Gang this time." Barter said slowly, then paused and said, "If you don't accept my conditions, I believe you will soon taste the love of the French police. I have news that Martin Luther is taking action in the higher ranks of the police."
Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank and said coldly, "Then tell me your conditions."
Barter's mouth curled as if he was very confident that Jiang Cheng would agree. He smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. I hope you can protect Alice."
"Ah?" Jiang Cheng was very surprised, "Why should I protect her? The huge Barter family shouldn't lack bodyguards. I have to be busy with the gang's affairs, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to stay with her. Besides, can you rest assured if I protect your daughter? "
"What if it's someone from the family who wants to kill Alice!" Barter coldly looked at Jiang Cheng with a trace of coldness between his eyebrows.
"What?!" Jiang Cheng looked at Barter in surprise.
Barter continued slowly, "Because it involves some internal affairs of the family, Alice is involved in the heir issue."
"Heir?" Jiang Cheng frowned and was very puzzled, "Doesn't Alice only have four years to live? Why would someone want her to die so soon? "
"Yes, that's right. That's why it's a very bad sign." Barter nodded and then slowly continued, "This means that someone in the family wants to assassinate me, but he's worried that when I die, 90% of the assets will be left to my two daughters. If Alice or Pelia dies before that, then 50% of the total assets will be taken and distributed by others."
Jiang Cheng was shocked. 50% of the assets of the Barter family was definitely an astronomical figure. It was very possible that someone would be obsessed with this. The distribution of assets in Europe's big families was very dirty and bloody.
"Pelia is already protected by my most trusted men, but Alice doesn't have anyone I trust to protect her, so I temporarily placed her outside. She's currently living in the 17th arrondissement. I've already talked to the head there, Bellaire, and he's responsible for Alice's safety in the 17th arrondissement."
"Originally, I thought that it would be better to hide Alice in a place where no one can find her, and I even gave her a fake visa to go to Japan so that everyone would think that she has gone to Japan. But now, the situation has changed. Someone already knows that Alice is staying in Paris, France, so I need a group of powerful and trustworthy people to protect her. So …" Barter said and turned back to look at Jiang Cheng, "I don't trust the people in the family, so I can only leave this matter to you. With your skills and the people from the Lung Hing Society, you should be able to protect her!"
Jiang Cheng showed a thoughtful look. He finally understood the cause and effect of this matter, but was it really good for him to protect Alice? The Lung Hing Society was in a developing stage. If Alice stayed in the Lung Hing Society, she would definitely encounter a lot of danger.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was silent, Barter opened his mouth again, "If you are responsible for protecting Alice, I can provide you with some funding."
"Funding?" Jiang Cheng looked up at Barter in surprise.
"Yes." Barter nodded, "The legal and police assistance is only part of it. In addition, I can also provide you with commercial assistance. Your Lung Hing Society will be able to use the Barter family's pipeline to do business in France. You can go anywhere without any hindrance. Also, I heard that you need guns and bullets. I can also provide some assistance in this aspect."
