Kunpeng came back quickly and brought little Jack back. He did not find little Jack in the Gaston Building, but he heard about the kidnapping from two K-high guys from the Jiujiu Gang. He captured one of them and interrogated him. Then he went to the simple hotel where little Jack was kept, where he slit the throat of the Jiujiu Gang member who was guarding little Jack.
"Little Jack..." Scarlett and Madeline hugged little Jack, kissed him and hugged him, tears streaming down their cheeks.
"Thank you..." The two were even more grateful to Kunpeng.
At this time, the phone in the study rang. Lu Ming entered the room and answered the phone. It was David's voice: "General, Punk confessed. He was the one who betrayed our informant. His handler was Magus, the boss of Magus Car Shop, and later it became Eric."
Lu Ming nodded. David was a specially trained intelligence officer. How could an ordinary person endure the torture used to force a confession
During the war, any prisoners of war and people in occupied areas would shudder when they heard the name "First Control". In this Gad region, it was obvious that people like Punk had no idea how terrifying the First Control was.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the red phone and dialed Admiral Dönitz's direct secret line.
Coming out of the study, Lu Ming shook his head. He had originally hoped that Admiral Dönitz would approve his special operation.
It is to wipe out the Jiujiu Gang and capture Eric for interrogation.
But Admiral Dönitz asked himself to be patient for the time being, because his request report was under discussion at the highest level and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Outside the study, Madeline came up to him, "General..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just call me Bit, you are not my subordinates."
Madeline hesitated for a moment, "Okay, Mr. Bute, Scarlett and I are very grateful to you, but Scarlett doesn't dare to talk to you..." After a pause, "Our whole family wants to thank you and hope to treat you to a meal. Do you have time?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let me treat you. We live in the same courtyard, so we should get to know each other." He looked at his watch and said, "Let's go tonight. I should be free."
Madeline was overjoyed, "Great! Great!" But she had not held much hope at first.
…
Scarlett's family is really full of handsome men and beautiful women, including Scarlett's brother and sister-in-law, and Scarlett's sister and brother-in-law.
Even Scarlett's parents could vaguely tell that they must have been handsome men and beautiful women when they were young.
The restaurant in the east annex is very large, with a family of more than a dozen people, but it is surprisingly quiet.
Scarlett supported the whole family. But in fact, it was not that this family was a bloodsucking family. Before the war broke out, Scarlett's parents ran a good company, and her brother, sister and younger sister were all social elites.
But now, if the Gad people do not live in slums and still have assets, they often hear about being kidnapped, treated violently, etc.
Many Gaide people have left this ancestral land, but they often cannot take their assets with them.
Scarlett, a once-popular star, and her family were put on a list banned from leaving the state. Especially in the early days of the war, almost all of Scarlett's family members participated in marches and demonstrations protesting against the Sonyanian invasion.
If it weren't for the protection provided by the First Control, such a celebrity family would have disappeared long ago.
After more than ten years of white terror, it is inevitable that this family's thinking mode is different from that of ten years ago. Ten years ago, they were still indignant about the invasion of the Sonyans and fought and protested against the Sonyans with various rules of imperial tradition.
Now, the family just wants to survive and not be suddenly taken away by the Rose Party military and police and disappear forever.
What he hoped even more was to be removed from the "blacklist" that everyone knew existed, and escape from here to the East China Sea or the Northern Territory.
At the dinner table, apart from Madeline and Lu Ming who brought up topics to chat about, no one else spoke. As for Madeline, the topics she chose were obviously ones she had thought about over and over again before dinner.
"Do you guys rarely go out?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Madeline sighed, "School is not safe now, how can we dare to go out?" She looked at her twin daughters, "You two don't have to go to school tomorrow."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Don't be so nervous, but their schools are a bit far away, let's find a school nearby. Isn't No. 22 Mid-Levels a private elementary school?"
Everyone was stunned. There was a private primary school in the Mid-Levels called St. George's Primary School. It had very few students, all of whom were children of wealthy families living in the Mid-Levels. The tuition was surprisingly high. It was a true aristocratic school that was said to offer aristocratic etiquette courses. The teacher used to be an official in the United Kingdom court.
Lu Ming looked at the children.
Scarlett's family is the third generation. Her brother and sister-in-law have a boy and a girl. The boy is fourteen or fifteen years old, which should be middle school age, and the girl is about twelve or thirteen years old, probably in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school.
Scarlett's sister has a pair of twin girls, about eleven or twelve years old.
Scarlett's son, little Jack, is also eleven or twelve years old.
My sister and brother-in-law’s daughter is still young, about four or five years old.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Those who are in primary school should transfer to St. George's Primary School. I will sponsor their tuition." He looked at little Jack and smiled, "I like this little guy very much. Does he have a godfather?"
Scarlett shook her head slightly.
Lu Ming said: "Then I will be his godfather? What do you think?"
Scarlett's eyes lit up: "You, are you willing to be little Jack's godfather?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I told you, I like this little guy very much."
In fact, it is because Villa No. 21 is the closest to St. George's Primary School, so this gives me an excuse to visit St. George's Primary School more often.
"You, can you also be the godfather of the Dolores sisters?" Madeline said. The Dolores sisters are her twin daughters.
Scarlett said more anxiously: "Yes, yes, look at the two little Doves, they are so cute and beautiful."
Lu Ming was slightly stunned. It seemed that Scarlett had a special feeling for her sister's twin daughters.
Although it is strange to be asked to be a godfather, it is understandable that these Gad children, if they have a godfather like themselves, will naturally get some kind of protection.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. How about this? From little John to little Grace, the six brothers and sisters will all be my godchildren from now on!"
John Jr. is the oldest of the third generation of the family and the son of Scarlett's brother.
Little Grace is the youngest, and the daughter of Scarlett's sister.
"I will not change my belief!" Without waiting for others to speak, Little John lowered his head, his voice trembling. It was obvious that he mustered up his courage to say this.
He was the oldest of the third generation, and was old enough to remember things when the Sonyans massacred the Gede people.
Unlike his younger brothers and sisters, who were born after the war and thought that the world was always like this, they, the Gad people, were destined to be oppressed and discriminated against, and they could be attacked and beaten, or even killed, by fanatics at any time.
The religious beliefs of the Sonya and Gede people actually have the same origin, but are different branches. The Sonya and the Griffinni people are actually from the same sect.
Lu Ming glanced at little John. Little John's mother was so scared that her face turned pale and she hugged him.
Little John's father apologized to Lu Ming repeatedly, "General, I'm sorry, he, he hasn't been feeling well these past few days, he's had a fever and is talking nonsense."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Little John, I didn't say I would change your beliefs. In fact, I am an atheist, so no matter what your beliefs are, I don't care, and I will not change your beliefs. As long as you are willing, you can be my godsons and goddaughters. I will ask you according to your own religious beliefs!"
Scarlett's family was stunned when they heard this. This was too unorthodox, but in the end no one dared to say anything.
Moreover, from now on, the children in the family have such a Sonya godfather to protect them. Isn't this the most worthy thing for the family to celebrate in the past ten years? It has been a long time since such good news and such luck have come.
