"It's okay, your dad will be fine." Jiang Cheng repeated while patting Alice's back. He hoped that it would make Alice feel better. Alice cried and cried, but she fell asleep. She was only a teenager, so how could she withstand such a shock? Even if she had experienced gunfights before, this time it was her family that was shot. The feeling in her heart was completely different.
Looking at Alice sleeping in his arms, Jiang Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all. He took off his coat and covered Alice's body. He was very worried about what happened tonight.
In Barter's house, the owner was seriously injured by a black gun, and Jiang Cheng himself was almost shot. Although he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that there was a mole among the people around Barter. Moreover, this mole knew a lot of things.
To know that the genetic modification potion was in Barter's hands and the exact location, this person must be Barter's confidant. The continuous escape was so fast that we couldn't react, which meant that this person was very familiar with the house.
The scene of Kennedy nodding his head once again appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind. "Could it be related to Kennedy?" Jiang Cheng whispered. When he discussed with Barter before, Barter's words to Kennedy obviously had a hidden meaning, so Barter must have suspected Kennedy a long time ago.
Alice, who was in his arms, turned her head and said something in her sleep before falling asleep again. Jiang Cheng looked at the sleeping Alice's delicate face and couldn't help but worry about Alice. Without the genetic modification potion, Alice would lose the chance to gamble at the age of 20. If Barter also left now, it would be a huge blow to Alice.
Two to three hours quickly passed while Jiang Cheng was in deep thought. The door of the emergency room opened.
The nurses inside came out one by one until the chief surgeon came out and asked where his family was. Jiang Cheng helped Alice up and went forward to understand the situation.
"After our rescue, the patient is temporarily out of danger. However, the patient's condition is still not optimistic. A gunshot to the brain is fatal for people of his age, and he has lost too much blood. Whether or not he can survive will depend on the next three days. However, even if the patient survives these three days, there is a high possibility that he will become a vegetable. Go ahead and sign the papers. "The doctor said and left. Jiang Cheng was left alone to digest the information.
To Barter, being in a vegetative state could be said to be a blessing in misfortune. At least he was still alive. However, the overlord of the sunset could only sleep in a vegetative state. If Barter could still think, he might even want to die.
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to think too much. After arranging the ward, Barter's influence was considered big. He directly arranged a separate ward for someone to take care of him.
Jiang Cheng brought Alice back to the house first. After a night of chaos, everyone needed to rest.
The next day, before dawn, Jiang Cheng woke up. Indeed, in the house where something was stolen and the owner was shot, no one could sleep well. Jiang Cheng wanted to walk around the manor to relax. However, he saw Kennedy hurriedly running over and stopped when he saw Jiang Cheng.
Because Jiang Cheng was suspicious of Barter's assassination, he was also vigilant against Kennedy. French, which was known as the world's most beautiful and romantic language, was spoken by Kennedy in front of Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng wasn't in the mood to listen to Kennedy's nonsense. He hurriedly interrupted Kennedy's chatter and said, "Barter's life is still in danger. The next three days will be the most dangerous period. I hope Barter can safely pass through this. Of course, as a guest and friend of Barter's, I will definitely not let go of the person who hurt my friend. I will definitely give Barter, who is still lying in the hospital bed, an explanation. " Jiang Cheng clenched his fists and stared at Kennedy with a pair of determined eyes that were bloodshot from anger.
In fact, Jiang Cheng was deliberately glaring at Kennedy who was still in the stage of suspicion. On one hand, it was to show Kennedy his hatred for the person who hurt his friend. On the other hand, Jiang Cheng was using his own words and actions to test Kennedy to see if he would show any signs of guilt.
After listening to Jiang Cheng's words, Kennedy first showed shock and then immediately showed approval. He smiled and nodded to express his gratification. His complicated expression and changes made Jiang Cheng feel uncomfortable and even a little disgusted.
"You go and visit and comfort Alice and Pelia first. Later, I will arrange for my men to go with you to visit Mr. Barter." Jiang Cheng wanted to send Kennedy away.
As the saying goes, a country can't be without a ruler for a day, and a family can't be without a master for a day. The same goes for gangs. After hearing that the leader of their gang was assassinated, their subordinates naturally became leaderless. At this time, the first thing they needed to do wasn't to work together to trace the source of the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes. The first thing they thought of was to choose a temporary leader to lead the gang's normal work and operation.
When Jiang Cheng brought Alice, Pelia, and their uncle Kennedy to the hospital, they saw Barter lying on the hospital bed surrounded by his subordinates. All of them looked depressed and sad.
Jiang Cheng, who had been in the underworld for several years, was used to this kind of scene. On the surface, they were all grieving, but in their hearts, they had already begun to plan and choose a side. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It was human nature for birds to choose a tree to nest in.
Whether it was in China, Europe, or even the world, the inheritance of gangs also showed the system of blood bond inheritance. The closer the blood relationship, the greater the possibility of inheriting the family business. As Barter's immediate family, Alice and Pelia naturally had the priority to inherit. However, for these two little princesses who only knew how to play and play to suddenly become the leader of a gang, this change was very huge no matter what.
Barter's life was about to end. Even if he could survive, he could only become a vegetable for the rest of his life. This was also the time for the gang members to make a prompt decision and make a choice.
"Miss Pelia and Miss Alice are still young, and they haven't handled the gang's affairs. Therefore, I suggest that Mr. Barter's brother, Mr. Kennedy, take over the authority of the acting patriarch. When Miss Pelia and Miss Alice are familiar with and have the ability to carry out the gang's affairs, then Mr. Kennedy will hand over the authority. "One of the gang members carefully said in the crowd.
Soon, the originally quiet ward began to become noisy. Everyone had different opinions and expressed that they agreed with that member's point of view.
"We hope that Mr. Kennedy can temporarily take over the position of the acting patriarch, and lead and guide us to find the murderer and avenge Mr. Barter!" One of the gang members loudly proposed. Then, other gang members began to agree.
Therefore, as an outsider, Jiang Cheng could only watch from the sidelines regarding the internal affairs of Alice's family's gang. He silently accompanied Alice, whose mind was only on her father who was lying on the sickbed and had already burst into tears.
At this time, Kennedy suddenly walked in front of the crowd. He looked like he was so angry that his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot with hatred, and his hands were clenched. He raised his right hand into a fist and howled, "My most respected brother, I will definitely avenge you!" Then, his voice was exhausted, and his brotherly love was vividly displayed.
"Wait a minute! I have something to say! "A man who was about the same age as Mr. Barter shouted from the back of the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Mr. Barter's personal butler. His position in the gang was comparable to the second in command. Because he was deeply trusted by Mr. Barter, the Barter family's business today was inseparable from the hard work he and Mr. Barter worked together when they were young. Even Mr. Barter respected him very much, not to mention the other gang members. What he said could even represent Mr. Barter. Then, he raised a black folder high in the air.
"Here is a document. It's the will that Mr. Barter entrusted me and my lawyer to make before his death."
The content of the will was: If I am unfortunate and die suddenly. As long as Jiang Cheng is willing, forever.
In order to protect the safety of Pelia and Alice and to marry one of my daughters to integrate the Parad family, I'm willing to let Jiang Cheng inherit 50% of the inheritance of the largest gang in France.
After listening to the will, the members of the Pallard family hissed and looked at each other in disbelief. Kennedy's expression changed from one of rage to one of extreme calmness and indifference. However, he did not dare to fly into a rage and deny the authenticity of this will in front of everyone. After all, the butler who brought the will and the lawyer who read the will were Mr. Barter's friends and partners.
After listening to him, Jiang Cheng was stunned, and he seemed to be at a loss. After all, he was just an outsider to Kennedy and the other members of the Pallard family. Why did Mr. Barter …
After a short period of confusion, Jiang Cheng quickly came to his senses. Could it be that Mr. Barter knew that such a day would happen, and he had already noticed that there was a mole in the family he led? He was also worried that his two young daughters would be harmed by his own people, so he thought of letting me, his friend, protect his two precious daughters on his behalf. However, letting Jiang Cheng marry Alice gave Jiang Cheng a difficult problem.
Alice, you're just a little girl. How could he accept this?
