The Red Baron stared at me blankly for a moment. Then, she said, "You're really smart. You're right. For everyone's sake, it's best if we don't cause unnecessary trouble."
"Then why don't you take a guess and see if I'll do as you say?" I had already seen through the Red Baron's thoughts. She was a person who only stood in front of her own interests. She had told me all this today to test my bottom line and also to give me a piece of advice. If I encountered any problems in America, she would definitely report to my father immediately. Of course, if I told my father that she didn't take good care of me, her image in my father's heart might be tarnished.
The Red Baron thought for a moment. Then, she stood up and bowed deeply to me. She looked at me and said, "Young Mistress, I look forward to working with you." The Red Baron looked at me and finally smiled. It was rare that she could smile too.
After that, when I talked to the Red Baron again, I felt that our relationship had improved significantly. She was also a talkative person. She told me a lot about her time in Red Minghui. It turned out that she was different from what I had imagined. Everyone in my father's hired thugs were trained from childhood, including now. Before the Red Baron was assigned to me, she was an instructor in the hired thugs' organization. She told me that the children she taught were all seven or eight years old. The youngest was only five years old. These children had to undergo up to sixteen hours of training every day. The Red Baron told me that when she was young, she was sent to an orphanage by her relatives because her parents were no longer around. The happiest time for the orphans was when the bell in the orphanage rang. It meant that someone was coming to adopt a child. Everyone would stand in a row in the reception hall and wait for the adopter to come and choose a child. On that day, the Red Baron said that the orphanage had always been filled with children. Red Baron remembered that one day, the bell rang as usual. All the children in the orphanage rushed to the reception hall and stood there honestly, waiting for the adopters to come and choose. This time, the person who came was different from the usual people. It was my father. The dean introduced my father grandly, saying that my father was an investor of the orphanage and had specially come to adopt the children. My father looked at all the children and finally stood in front of them. He picked most of the children from among them, including Red Baron. She thought that this way, Red Baron could get the life she wanted, but she did not expect that all the children, including her, were taken to the Red Tea Party and began cruel training. They stayed there for twenty years. Many of the children in Red Baron's batch could not resist the devilish training and lost their lives. In the end, the few people who survived became the core force of the thugs organization. Just like what my father told me when I was a child, they only learned one idea from the beginning, and that was absolute obedience.
After listening to the Red Baron's story, I suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for her. I looked at her and said, "Have you never thought of running away? Have you never thought of resisting? "
The Red Baron shook her head and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. What's the difference between this place and the orphanage? Although the president trained us strictly, he also taught us a lot of things. We didn't have to worry about food and water every day. I also had a home of my own with my own hard work. There's nothing wrong with that. I heard from others that a daughter who was adopted from our orphanage was molested by her adoptive father. Her adoptive father threatened to kill her if she told anyone about it. She had no one to turn to and could only endure it. Who would have thought that her adoptive father would become worse and molest her more and more. Later, when her adoptive mother found out about it, her adoptive mother thought that she had seduced her adoptive father and sent her to the police station. In the end, she couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide. Compared to her, am I not much luckier than her? The president treats us very well. As long as we do what he asks us to do, he will reward us accordingly. I don't think it's a bad thing. "
I looked at her and said, "Although it sounds good from what you said, according to your father's habits, there should be a big prerequisite, right?"
The Red Baron looked at me and smiled. "Yes, you are very smart. There is indeed a big prerequisite. That is, I have to work for the Red Minghui for the rest of my life. I belong to the Red Minghui for the rest of my life. If I were to abandon the association, I would have to dedicate my life to it."
"Wouldn't that be too cruel?" I couldn't bear it. It seemed that my father had secretly trained these thugs to do things for him that couldn't be done openly. Rather than saying that they were thugs, it would be more accurate to say that they were killers. If they had sold their lives to the Red Minghui, how could they still have freedom in life? "No, I don't.
I don't have anyone in this world that I would miss, even in the entire thug organization. At best, we are colleagues, not even friends. We don't need friends. If we have more feelings, it might affect our judgment and delay a lot of things. That's why I decided to stay unmarried a long time ago. It's pretty good. Anyway, I don't know many people, so I definitely won't be able to get married. "The Red Baron looked outside. Her eyes were filled with sadness, which made people feel sorry for her.
I looked at the Red Baron carefully. Although she didn't like to smile, she was very pleasant to look at when she was serious. Especially when she had a hint of sadness in her eyes, she was very lovable. I sympathized with her. Although my father had arranged for her to stay by my side and monitor me, I still wanted to get along well with her. After all, she was also a pitiful child.
I thought for a moment, then looked at the Red Baron and said, "Red Baron, how about this? In the future, when we are in front of my parents, let's try to keep a certain distance. That way, they won't be suspicious. When it's just the two of us in private, you don't have to be too restrained with me. I also want to get to know you and be good friends with you. I won't harm you. You have to trust me on this."
The Red Baron was stunned for a moment. She looked at me and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you." I knew that she was saying thank you from the bottom of her heart. I also understood that she wasn't a bad woman. She just needed love. She needed someone to get close to her heart.
The Red Baron and I chatted very happily. Before we knew it, it was already time for dinner. Suri and Susu had also returned. The whole family happily had a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to take a walk in the garden. I didn't tell anyone and walked to the rose pond in the garden alone. Looking at the garden full of flowers, I thought of Duanmu Que again.
The deeper the love, the more painful it would be. My heart still couldn't forget him. I would never be able to forget his eyes when he looked at me with such deep affection.
