It is necessary to talk about the wardrobe. The wardrobe is pure wood and very high. After a rough look, Zhang Yitian thinks it is at least more than three meters. Obviously, the height is a little flashy.
But if it's used to hide a secret door, it's perfect.
Liu Yin ignored Zhang Yitian's surprise, opened the door and invited him in.
Zhang Yitian couldn't help being vigilant.
Although he knows his strength, he is not invulnerable now. In case there are several people with M4 in their hands, he still can't run.
But after walking for a while, Zhang Yitian felt that his reverie was completely blind.
Because there are no armed killers in it, only Charles.
The passage just came is not long, only four or five meters, but also very wide. Inside is a small room of more than ten square meters, which is illuminated by a lamp.
The room is obviously sealed, and the ventilation is completed through a hidden ventilation device on the wall.
The furnishings in the room are also very visible. There is only a table and a chair. On the table are several books and notebooks, and on the table are several pieces of straw paper painted disorderly.
Charles was still in his wheelchair, curled up and looked at Zhang Yitian, who also looked at him.
After they looked at each other for two seconds, Liu Yin suddenly said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down!"
Zhang Yitian glanced at the chair, convinced that it should not be a trap, and then sat down.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yitian suddenly felt that it was time to ask for some words.
So he said, "Mr. Charles, I think now you should tell me the purpose of letting me come? Otherwise, you won't just want me to enjoy your castle if you get me out of the sky high bail?"
Zhang Yitian thought Liu Yin would translate this sentence to Charles, but Liu Yin just looked at each other and stopped making a sound.
Zhang Yitian felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
A moment later, something surprised Zhang Yitian happened.
Charles suddenly gave a cold smile, just one, and then his body moved in the wheelchair. Then his feet moved to the ground. His hands didn't move, and his legs didn't seem to exert too much force, so he stood up.
Zhang Yitian couldn't believe it!
Shit, this old guy is pretending to be disabled! Zhang Yitian thought that he had been cheated!
Charles shook off the heavy coat he had been wearing and took two steps inside the room.
Zhang Yitian found that Charles's figure was not low, but when he curled up in the wheelchair, it gave people the feeling that even if he broke straight, it was only 1.6 meters!
But the truth is, the old man is more than one meter and seventy, maybe one meter and eight!
Moreover, he didn't show any sign of hunchback and bending down. He also moved briskly when walking. He didn't look like a man in his 70s and 80s, but like a young man in his thirties.
Charles stood up. Zhang Yitian quietly looked at Liu Yin's face, but found that the other party was not surprised at all, but with a slight smile.
How the hell is this? The rabbit in Zhang Yitian's heart began to kick himself!
Charles moved a few times, then turned and sat back in his wheelchair.
Zhang Yitian tried his best to keep a calm look at each other, but he couldn't calm down.
Charles took a breath, smiled, and then spoke in Chinese, which was more proficient than Zhang Yitian.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. For some reasons, we can only choose here for our formal meeting!" Charles said in a slow, heavy tone, with an elderly husky.
Zhang Yitian said, "Mr. Charles, I don't understand. Why do you pretend!"
Zhang Yitian has too many questions, but he still plans to ask step by step.
Charles smiled: "it's hard to say! But I'll tell you! I know it surprised Mr. Zhang, but you have to believe me. I have to, because the complexity of the whole thing must be more than you think!"
Zhang Yitian nodded and said, "then can I understand that Mr. Charles came to me to solve all the mysteries in my heart?"
"Almost, but not all, but I will say all the things I know. I know nothing! Mr. Zhang, please ask one question at the beginning of one question!"
As soon as the other party spoke, Zhang Yitian resolutely threw out his first question: "who are you?"
Charles smiled and the wrinkles on his face piled up again. He glanced at Liu Yin and said, "I think you'll ask me why I let you come first!"
"All right!" Charles said, "Let me start from the beginning! My family came from Ireland and came to the United States from my great grandfather's time. At that time, my family was still poor, but the family had a look when my grandfather was born! And until my father's time, our Charles family had made great progress in the United States! Oh, yes, my father was also a special Chinese at that time Don't be a military adviser! "
Charles should know what Zhang Yitian wants to know, but his answer is obviously watertight. Although he talked about his family, he still didn't mention any questions that Zhang Yitian is interested in.
Charles answered with a calm expression. He calmly waited for Zhang Yitian's next question.
Zhang Yitian can see strong confidence from his expression. Maybe he feels that everything is under his control!
But what Charles didn't expect was that Zhang Yitian's next question had made him a little unable to sit still.
Zhang Yitian's face turned to Liu Yin, but his eyes were still here. He asked, "who is he!"
Zhang Yitian's question was simply unexpected, because whether Charles or Liu Yin, they felt that 100% of Zhang Yitian's next question would ask him what to do.
But Zhang Yitian turned to Liu Yin.
Zhang Yitian's question is certainly not without purpose, because he felt that Liu Yin's relationship seemed to be close to the family as soon as he entered the castle.
In fact, Zhang Yitian has long wanted to understand. Obviously, there are some problems. If Charles wants Zhang Yitian to know, he will know. It's understandable when to ask these questions, because either he will get an accurate answer or the other party is perfunctory.
So at the beginning of the question, Zhang Yitian had already thought out what he wanted to ask, and the order and questions were all thought out in his mind in an instant.
But for this problem, it is obvious that the result surprised both Liu Yin and Charles.
And their shock, but let Zhang Yitian himself feel surprised, is his doubt, but what big problem is involved? What's wrong with Liu Yin's identity?
"This..." Charles raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yin.
Liu Yin had a dull face and didn't say a word for a long time.
The two men looked at each other for a moment and said, "he... This question, I can't answer you! Mr. Zhang, please ask the next question."
Zhang Yitian thought for a while and asked, "in that case, why did you find me?"
Zhang Yitian saw Charles's uncertain eyes, and knew that even if he continued to ask, he was doomed to fruitless.
In that case, just ask other questions. If you really ask the old guy urgently, you won't answer a question at that time, and you'll eat flat!
Simply wait to ask all the questions, and then delve into the identity of Liu Yin. On the contrary, there are not many questions.
Hearing Zhang Yitian's question, Charles eased his face quietly, sighed gently, and said, "I guess Mr. Zhang, you should have a general answer! Indeed, the purpose of inviting Mr. Zhang is for your jade pendant!"
Zhang Yitian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got a positive answer.
Then he smiled with a slight complacency and asked as if he had insight into everything: "unfortunately, it's not that Mr. Charles attracted me? I know this question may be very relevant, so Mr. Charles can just start from the beginning and save me from asking again!"
Charles showed a little surprise on his face and then looked at Liu Yin. Of course, he didn't expect that Zhang Yitian knew about it.
Then the problem can only be Liu Yin! After all, as soon as Zhang Yitian entered the castle, no one had much communication with him. This mistake can only appear on Zhang Yitian's way.
Liu Yin squinted at Zhang Yitian and shook her head imperceptibly. She could only sigh from her heart. This young man just looked young, but his shrewdness was just pointing out!
Finally, Charles or Liu Yin did not give Zhang Yitian a positive answer to this question, but it is enough, because their various performances have shown that they are acquiescing to Zhang Yitian's speculation.
However, this may only make Zhang Yitian more confused.
Because now it seems that more people know about their jade pendant than he thinks.
The first is Charles, who obviously knows his jade pendant very well!
Then there is Liu Yin. Various signs show that the relationship between Liu Yin and Charles is definitely not a master-servant relationship, but they are more likely to be a cooperative relationship.
If so, it shows that behind Liu Yin, either represents a force, or represents a group of people who covet the jade pendant!
Plus the people who send photos to themselves, there are already three groups! Zhang Yitian is not sure whether it will stop at three.
Obviously, what Zhang Yitian is involved in now is just the tip of the iceberg!
He could not help feeling that he had suddenly become very small.
Charles thought for a moment, as if wondering where to start.
The silence lasted about two minutes and Charles spoke.
"This matter is really huge. Since Mr. Zhang wants to know everything, I can only tell you everything I let me know!" Charles said, "First of all, I want to introduce myself. My name is actually William Charles. Many people also call me Charles II! The origin of our Charles family and this jade pendant, I think if we start from the beginning, we should start from the era of my great grandfather, which was more than 100 years ago
My grandfather's name was Cole. He came to North America with my great grandfather from Ireland. Like most Irish immigrants, they had to start with cheap labor at the beginning.
At that time, the United States was building an intercontinental railway from the east coast to the west coast. At first, the Irish were the main labor force.
At first it was calm, but then a large influx of Chinese workers changed this situation.
The work efficiency of Chinese workers is amazing. They are even twice as efficient as Irish people, which makes the companies undertaking railway construction more inclined to hire Chinese workers.
This caused a large number of Irish people to lose their jobs, and my great grandfather was among them. He took a group of Irish immigrants and was ready to do a big thing! "
