Chapter 10 Business
When Emily returned to the living room, her face had already returned to the calmness she had when she saw Cheng Bin. And I don’t know what she was thinking, she actually changed into another dress - or in other words, she wore an extra skirt under her knees than she had just worn.
Emily's housekeeper meticulously completed the hostess' orders and found someone to retreat Cheng Bin's wound. Of course, in fact, the wound on Cheng Bin's hand was not good. The miserable injury was completely skin trauma. This was the reason why he needed to maintain pressure on the brake pedal at that time and did not dare to resist hard, otherwise, he would not have had to be so serious.
Emily's family doctor mainly cleaned and disinfected Cheng Bin's palms and applied some ointments to prevent the wound from growing together with the gauze after scabs.
Originally, the doctor meant to give Cheng Bin an antibiotic, but Cheng Bin refused. He was not reluctant to use this kind of medicine that had to be transported from Salt Lake City, but mainly because he was unwilling to let strangers pour things into his body, which was easy to kill people.
At this moment, he was sitting comfortably on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking through a book he found on the bookshelf.
Seeing Emily walking back alone, he stood up with a gentlemanly demeanor and nodded to Emily.
If it weren't for the fierce murderous intent that Emily showed to herself after first meeting Isabel, Cheng Bin would almost believe that she was just a noble lady who was content with the status quo. However, considering the courage and unlimited response she showed tonight, Cheng Bin felt that this lady could marry into a wealthy family, which was not just her beauty and wisdom.
The question now is, people like her are obviously capable of pursuing higher achievements, so why are they willing to stay in Maple Leaf Town to open a bar?
Emily's eyes swept over Cheng Bin's left hand, landed on the book he had just put on the armrest of the sofa, and said softly: "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy?" She said: "I didn't expect you would like this kind of book."
"Actually, I have a wide range of interests, or I can appreciate different types of beauty." Cheng Bin reached out and helped Emily sit on the single sofa beside him, and then sat back to his original position and said to Emily: "Miss Isabel is okay?"
"I asked her to go to bed first," Emily said: "Please allow me to express my gratitude for you to lend a helping hand in time."
Cheng Bin smiled and said perfunctorily, then heard Emily say, "Isa said you lost your property, can I compensate you?"
"If possible," Cheng Bin said: "I would rather get back what originally belonged to me."
Emily looked at him deeply and said slowly, "So you are sure your items have fallen into Mr. Jugashviri's hands?"
"Frankly, I'm not sure." Cheng Bin said: "But I think if they weren't that stupid, they should have found my stuff."
He looked straight at Emily and said seriously: "So my question is, can I get them back for me?"
Emily looked at him for a while, and she slowly leaned back to the sofa and whispered: "I can give it a try, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed."
Speaking of this, she said with great interest: "Are those things really that important?" She said: "You can actually ask for compensation of equal value just from the advice of a friend."
Cheng Bin laughed, "I'm afraid I can't do it." He paused and said, "Some things can't be bought."
Emily looked at Cheng Bin thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I think I understand."
"Then I have another question," she said. "During the daytime you turned down a possible job in the bar, and then you said you just got a sum of money and didn't want to work before you spent them all,
"So now, obviously you've lost them, have you ever thought about finding another job?"
She stared at Cheng Bin and said softly: "I know you don't like doing men's business, so I was the one who sent the invitation this time."
Cheng Bin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I listen to what kind of business it is first?"
"It's very simple, just like what you've just done." Emily said: "Protect Isa until I send her home."
"Wait a minute," Cheng Bin said, "So she is indeed the target of those people?" He said, "Is this Jugashviri you mentioned very dangerous?"
"He is not a matter of danger or not," Emily said. "Glova is the commercial consul of Sod in Maple Leaf Town, and the surname Jugashviri here represents something else in Salt Lake City."
Cheng Bin leaned back and said tentatively: "Just like Edwards was with Gongqingcheng?"
"Just like Edwards did with Gongqing City," Emily confirmed.
"That's a pity." Cheng Bin said: "My impression of Sod is actually pretty good."
Emily smiled, "I know you just sold them the corpse of a mutant beast and got a sum of money, but like you said, that sum of money has been taken back by Mr. Jugashviri."
Cheng Bin nodded, "You convinced me." He said, "Then in order to complete this job better, I need to know more, such as what happened to Mr. Gujian."
"He is mine." Emily said frankly: "You can also understand that he is my husband's man. He is the sheriff of Maple Leaf Town. If you have to find someone in this town to be Glova's opponent, then it's only him."
Cheng Bin looked at Emily deeply, "Forgive me for my own risk." He said: "For a small town, the water in this river is a bit too muddy."
Emily laughed, "It's just because you're not on the right time to step into this river." She said, "Of course, on the plus side, people won't step into the same river twice."
"It sounds like herd immunity." Cheng Bin said, as he stood up from the sofa and stretched. "I think this job should be for food and accommodation? I need a hot bath and a comfortable big bed to restore energy." He looked at Emily with a scorching gaze and said, "I don't think my dear Mr. Jugashviri would not blatantly attack the mayor's residence?"
"It seems that it won't be there yet." Emily smiled and turned a blind eye to Cheng Bin's desire. She stood up slowly, walked to the wine cabinet beside her, poured herself half a glass of red wine, and said to Cheng Bin: "Happy cooperation."
Cheng Bin reached out to pick up his wine glass and touched Emily from afar. "Happy cooperation." He said: "I am looking forward to further cooperation."
