"Of course I do, but the sun hasn't set yet."
While Li Yan answered Dorothy, he took off the steam gauntlet that he accidentally destroyed, and threw it into the iron box.
"Let's go early, today is the last performance."
Dorothy walked over with a wide smile and took off her hat to salute Liang Hui.
"Mr. Liang, Redrick is an excellent and honest lawyer, and he will definitely be able to help you."
Liang Hui bowed deeply: "Thank you very much, Miss Dorothy, the Chinese in this city will remember your deeds."
"I'm just doing what any man of conscience would do. I have a show tonight, so if there's nothing else, I'm leaving first."
Having said that, Dorothy glanced at Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded knowingly.
Then he followed Dorothy out of the door and got into the gorgeous rail carriage.
From the beginning to the end, Duke Weilang just stood there quietly, gloomy and silent.
The short-haired girl who drove Dorothy whistled, "Mr. Pinkerton detectives, could you move your cars a little?"
Several detectives in black looked at Duke Weilang.
"let's go."
Duke waved his hand, and he said viciously at Liang Hui: "Mr. St. Yves of Enfield greets you."
After all, Duke took his agents and drove away in the steam car under the eyes of everyone.
In the carriage.
"I think I'll be on the headlines of tomorrow's lace paper."
Li Yan lifted the flowered curtain of the carriage.
"Do you know what the newspaper headlines are today?"
Dorothy poured Li Yan a cup of black tea: "Several local newspapers that commented on dramas severely criticized my new version of "Lake of Giants" because I used a Chinese as the protagonist. Someone went to the government to report the Black Rose Theater. These Yankees are really¡±
"It sounds like you're in a bad situation."
"On the contrary, I think this is a good opportunity."
Dorothy shrugged: "If I stop the show for no reason, there will be a lot of resistance, which will be a good reason."
She looked at Li Yan hopefully: "If you can really get rid of it, it's all worth it."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"You promised that Pinkerton would not pester me again, but you broke your promise."
Zhen Lian stared at Zhen Lian closely, with an extremely stern tone.
Zhen Lian's face was a little flustered, and she forced herself to calm down, "Didn't he leave in despair in the end? Pinkerton's criminal investigation against you has long been withdrawn. I can guarantee this with my life. As for I don't know why Duke Weilang still found you."
Liang Hui's face suddenly calmed down: "Before the snake detective left, he deliberately threatened me with the name of Saint Yves, which means that the Pinkerton Detective Agency has accepted the employment of the Enfield Arms Company, and they have received a strike from us. The sound of the wind. Heh heh, the ghost is still there."
Zhen Lian was afraid and angry when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Since you guessed it a long time ago, why are you accusing me for no reason. It's not my responsibility."
Liang Hui ignored Zhen Lian's complaints, and just paced back and forth in the room frowning.
Pinkerton is well-known, not to mention Liang Hui's background is not clean, it is impossible to say that he does not have a headache.
Zhen Lian saw it and said softly: "Why don't we put it on hold for now"
"You think this is a child's play house?"
Liang Hui interrupted her. He sat back in his seat, picked up the cigarette pipe and pot on the table, and threw it on the ground angrily, knocking out ash all over the floor.
"Except for two abstentions from the fifty-two chairmen of the Seventh Hall of the Chinese General Association, the rest are on my side. The chairman of the Ningyang Association spared no effort to support me. I have a favor, and Qian It took too long. I took the lead in the strike, and now I am the first to give in? Then it would be better to kill me."
In the past, Liang Hui, who was covered with injuries and relied on opium for pain relief, might not have the courage to challenge Pinkerton. But today, his exuberant energy and ambition have already swelled to a level that he never dared to imagine in the past.
"Pinkerton has a criminal record. When the time comes and someone dies, how will you end up? Mr. said not to intervene."
Zhen Lian sneered.
Liang Hui rolled his eyes again and again: "Don't we still have Mr. Cha?"
Zhen Lian had a sneer:"Aren't you underestimating others? Flames only dance with flames, but playing with fire means self-immolation."
Liang Hui said with a straight face: "In the past two days, he has been hanging out in the brothel all day. There have been several violent incidents against Chinese people in that block in the past few days, and there were three major fires, but nothing happened these two days. It didn¡¯t happen, you should know what it means, my request is just a smooth sailing for him. In the past, you have been serving the two gentlemen, it¡¯s better for you to come forward, it¡¯s good for you and me if it can be done.¡±
Zhen Lian thought for a while, pulled out a scale-like hairpin from his hair, and nodded vaguely.
"Okay, I'll think of a way."
? As dusk approached, the girls, with their hair loose, went downstairs in twos and threes, yawning lazily and washing their hands, while the music on the gramophone was low and deep.
Cha Xiaodao stayed here for two days.
The "Book of Creation" is still in his hands. Except for going to the vegetable markets and restaurants in various blocks every day, Zha Xiaodao spends the rest of his time studying this "Book of Creation", but unfortunately he still finds nothing.
When Zhen Lian came to visit, Zha Xiaodao was in the back kitchen. He was not used to sourdough bread and clam chowder, and he was born with a good appetite, so he probably cooked by himself.
Dang lang~
Zha Xiaodao put a plate of steamed mussels with onions on the wine table while peeling the shells. Hearing Zhen Lian's intentions, he nodded, "No problem."
"real?"
Zhen Lian didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"I will live here for the next few days. If you can't find me, or if you need my help, I won't refuse."
After finishing speaking, Zha Xiaodao smiled at Zhen Lian and said, "Am I much easier to talk to than your Majesty in blue?"
Zhen Lian smiled awkwardly.
"It's nothing, just go and do your work."
Only now did Zhen Lian stand up, bowed, and then left.
Zha Xiaodao didn't know where to pull out the tome "Book of Creation", and while peeling the shellfish, he struggled to decipher the contents on it.
His hand was groping in the plate full of mussels, and inadvertently touched a cold palm.
Zha Xiaodao looked up and saw Yanzi who had washed her hair.
"You don't mind giving me a little bit."
Swallow's smile made a small pear nest.
"do not mind."
In the past two days in the brothel, Yanzi and Cha have gotten to know each other a lot.
To be honest, Zha Xiaodao likes Yanzi's temper very much. If he hadn't passed Chang Yu's psychological defense line, the relationship between the two might have gone further.
"Chang Yu hasn't come to see me for two days."
Swallow tilted his head.
"Two days is not long."
"I have known him for a year, and he will come every weekend. Even if he came to see me, he left right away because of rush work. Hey, the mussels you make are delicious!"
Zha Xiaodao looked up after hearing this: "He didn't tell you about the deed?"
Yanzi wiped the sauce on her lips with her finger, opened her eyes wide and asked, "What deed?"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Chang Yu rushed in excitedly. When he saw Yanzi and Zha Xiaodao, he couldn't restrain his emotions: "Yanzi, I did it! I'm going to London to participate in the World Expo!"
