In fact, now, no one is in the mood to carefully observe whether Brother Shuang's expression is realistic.
Mrs. Gracie was shot and dragged for a while by Serif. In order to avoid exposing her body to the sniper's sight, she had to try to find cover when moving. Performing various difficult postures that test the body's muscle coordination to the extreme, the already serious injuries will naturally become worse.
Serif's disdain for Mrs. Gracie's weight was not intended to make fun of her, he simply had no strength.
Don’t think that it’s really effortless for the hero on TV to hug a princess casually. He weighs more than 100 kilograms and hangs on two flat outstretched arms. The arm carrying the weight is still bent and suspended in the air, making it difficult to exert force. Straight or acute angle... Serifu's small body is originally a technical route, and all kinds of provocations and criminal records are completed under the condition that intelligence compensates for force. So when encountering this kind of situation, he was really unable to cover up the situation.
In fact, Serifu felt that being able to drag such a heavy woman was considered an explosion of his small universe.
"You're finally here!"
Serifu was pleasantly surprised when he saw Ye Shuang.
He had not only struggled with his energy, but also with his brain. Serif calculated the three-dimensional coordinates of the small coffee shop countless times in an instant. After taking many routes and turns, he safely dragged Mrs. Gracie behind the counter.
At this time, the cafe was in a mess. Not many things were broken by sniper shots, but many tables and chairs were knocked over by the screams and panic running of the customers who came later.
After wiping the sweat on his head, he felt that the sniping finally stopped, and someone ran in from the door. Even the door and curtains were closed. Only then did Serif dare to poke his head out from behind the counter. Come, hurriedly greet Ye Shuang and the two people who came in: "Ye, and... that big black man, call an ambulance quickly."
"Are you sure?" Ye Shuang asked Serif, but her eyes turned to Howard, who was also possessed by acting skills: "This is a gunshot wound. I don't think Mrs. Gracie wants to take notes in the hospital."
Going to the hospital means that the injury status will be left undisguised by law enforcement. From the type of bullet to the reason for being sniped, etc., even if Mrs. Gracie wants to calm the situation afterwards, I am afraid things will not go so smoothly.
On the other hand, if it is handled by your own personal doctor, you will have a lot of room for maneuver when the police come to your door for questioning. Lawyers and embassies have always been the most hated species by the police, no one. There were many sensitive questions that Mrs. Gracie could refuse to answer as long as she didn't have enough absolute evidence.
And more importantly, once Gracie's personal doctor comes forward, it means that Ye Shuang, her hidden power in Fengyuan City, can also find out something about it. Although this was information that Howard also knew, Ye Shuang didn't think that this person would honestly tell him and others...
As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, she looked coldly at the loyal "Tai Xi" who carried out Mrs. Gracie from behind the counter with no expression on her face. Although the latter had lost too much blood and been tortured for so long, she still managed to breathe without fainting. In the past, she gasped in "Tessie's" arms before reluctantly saying: "I have a doctor." Now she no longer has the extra reason and thinking to ponder the content of Ye Shuang's words just now - for example, "Grey" Mrs. Xi should not want to go to the hospital to take notes." Is this sentence really just based on her personality and does not have any other hidden metaphors or other meanings? !
If it were normal times, with Mrs. Gracie's shrewdness, she would definitely not let this detail pass without suspicion.
As the caring little cotton pants who immediately extended a helping hand to his own mother, Serifu felt a little embarrassed by Ye Shuang's slightly teasing glances. Not only was he embarrassed, but he also felt vaguely ashamed.
In order to maintain his principles, in order not to fall behind in the eyes of others... Look, it's that poor child, his mother abandoned him, but he still longs for maternal love... Such tragic images, Serif can only stay calm. He calmly acted as if nothing had happened: "I'm just... uh, just a small favor. After all, the situation at that time was that I was in the same danger next to Mrs. Gracie, so I might as well evacuate together or something... Well, you know what I mean. ?"
"I understand, I understand." Brother Shuang sighed and patted Serifu, looking into his expectant eyes: "It's just a subconscious choice and judgment. You don't need to feel ashamed of it."
Serif was furious: "You really don't understand at all!!"
…
After Mrs. Gracie was sent back to the villa and pushed into the operating room, the police came to the door and asked for an investigation into what happened. They also hoped that Mrs. Gracie would cooperate in taking notes.
In a gun-forbidden country like Country C, cases involving firearms are undoubtedly major cases, and sniping is especially rare. Not to mention the issues related to the case itself, even the channels through which the snipers obtained the firearms are issues that require focus and investigation in the eyes of the police.
But just as Ye Shuang expected, Mrs. Gracie would never be able to quietly cooperate with the investigation.
Before she left the operating room, the lawyer who had been waiting in the villa like the doctor had already stood up. Next, from legal terms to foreign status, the lawyer talked without giving in, resolutely keeping all the police out of the villa... With Mrs. Gracie's current physical condition, and the lawyers who were ready to fill in the gaps, I think To pretend to be comatose to delay something, the conditions are quite sufficient.
The police hated to leave, so they could only go back and carefully investigate the scene. Unfortunately, the fact that someone was sniped here was repeatedly confirmed at the scene, and other evidence that could be found was not particularly indicative...
…
"As a law-abiding citizen, I shouldn't have to watch you two crooks do whatever you want in our country."
Ye Shuang sighed, standing on the second floor of the villa and watching the backs of the criminal policemen returning home, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Serif pouted: "Then what do you want? I hate these people who keep causing trouble for people, but at critical moments...for example, when you really want to arrest someone...but you can't use it at all, you can only A tax thief who worked hard for a few days and then let someone go!"
"There is always a time when you catch someone's fault. At least they are energetic. You can't just watch the bad guys run amok just because you don't have a clue." Ye Shuang said righteously.
Serif frowned and looked at Brother Shuang: "You actually have such a sense of justice?"
"Mainly because I saw a bad guy on the loose, especially now that I am still standing in this bad guy's camp, so I feel particularly unhappy." Ye Shuang shrugged, walked away from the window, walked to the sofa, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water. : "But Serif, I'm really surprised that you actually took the initiative to save Mrs. Gracie."
According to Ye Shuang's past knowledge and judgment, Serifu's feelings towards his relatives should have ranged from longing and expectation to disappointment and resentment.
How much I originally looked forward to finding my family to be reunited, but how desperate I became after knowing the truth.
Under such circumstances, even if he did not talk about revenge and hostility, he would devote the rest of his life to causing trouble for his own mother. But at least he would stand on the sidelines, and after seeing what bad luck happened to the other party, he would feel comforted and say "retribution"... Before what happened today, at least Serif had always behaved like this.
"Is blood really thicker than water? I didn't expect you to be such a kind and emotional person." Ye Shuang came to a conclusion incredulously. Looking at Serifu, he felt that he had to re-judge him.
Serifu obviously did not agree with Ye Shuang's statement. After hearing these words, he reflexively made a disgusted expression: "You mean I still care about her? Don't be kidding me." Got it!"
Yes, that’s the tone! That’s the attitude!
It was because the other party's attitude was so resolute that Ye Shuang decisively judged that Serifo did not have any good intentions towards Mrs. Gracie. But what happened later was just the opposite...
Ye Shuang pondered for a long time before switching to Chinese and speaking: "My mouth is too straight for my body..."
"Huh?" Serifu didn't understand such an Internet slang with the flavor of the times.
Ye Shuang smiled evilly and was about to explain in detail to the other party when "Tai Xi" opened the door from the outside and came in: "Mr. Ye Shuang, Mr. Serif, Madam asked me to arrange a guest room for you two. Please come with me.”
"No need, I'll go back to the hotel to stay." Serif was the first to refuse the other party's kindness.
Ye Shuang didn't move or speak. She knew there must be more to come.
Sure enough, "Tessie" glanced at Serifo calmly, and spoke again in a calm tone: "Mr. Serifo was also in the coffee shop at that time. Although there were no cameras nearby, I think the police should be able to learn from other people. What did the witnesses at the scene ask... Your reputation is not small, and you have a case that has just been dropped. Under such circumstances, you still insist on going back to the hotel? Now that the police may come to question you at any time ?”
“…”
Serif was about to leave and paused, then cursed a few times in a low voice, turned back with a cold face: "I'll stay!"
"Tai Xi" nodded and looked at Ye Shuang again.
Brother Shuang spread his hands and said indifferently: "I will stay here too." His face is too representative. Although he is not a foreigner, his recognition is not much lower than that of foreigners: "But it's only for one night. My friend will help me tomorrow. I asked a lawyer to explain."
Brother Han has great hands and eyes, and he can probably negotiate the result in one night. If it doesn't work, the worst thing is to switch genders to avoid the limelight. Otherwise, even if she lives with Mrs. Gracie, Ye Shuang will still be in danger of having her secret exposed... unless she is willing to kiss the only woman here.
…
After the big black man settled the two guests, the bodyguards would naturally take care of the rest of their daily life.
The effect of Mrs. Gracie's anesthesia wore off after two hours. When she regained consciousness, although she could not stand up immediately to deal with the aftermath, she could at least deal with some simple problems.
When Mrs. Gracie was awake, "Tessie" was beside her. She glanced at her loyal subordinate. Mrs. Gracie was a little cold: "Find this matter out."
The black man nodded silently, indicating that he would deal with this problem himself.
After explaining the matter in this sentence, Mrs. Gracie no longer seemed to care about the detailed situation, nor was she worried that her subordinates would not be able to find out. Instead, she breathed a long sigh of relief, frowned and moved with difficulty. He shook his body.
"Tessie" stepped forward in silence, helped Mrs. Gracie move her body and massaged the stiff muscles.
Mrs. Gracie's frown gradually relaxed, and she felt more comfortable before she spoke slowly and pondered. The first sentence was not about Ye Shuang, whom she had always cared about, but something unexpected in this performance. Serif: "That thief... who do you think he is?"
The reaction Serif showed before was so surprising. Even if the situation was tense at the time, Mrs. Gracie could not have imagined so much. But now that I'm free, the previous problems inevitably resurface.
"His anger when he accused me didn't seem like a lie, I could see it. But if that was the case, then why did he help me later?"
Rather than asking, Mrs. Gracie was talking to herself. She didn't expect her subordinate with facial paralysis to answer this question at all. She was just sorting out her thoughts subconsciously: "Deliberately approaching Ye, and being so angry after my threat... I felt that he was in a strange mood at that time, as if he was influenced by someone." A kind of humiliation, or like an extreme disappointment..."
It seemed that a certain answer was about to emerge in her mind. Mrs. Gracie frowned, her voice gradually lowered, and she took out the areas that she had previously found contradictory and replayed them over and over again.
"Getting close to Ye Shuang, but not for the purpose of stealing..."
"Like me, we have the desire to communicate with each other, but we don't know the purpose..."
"Both disgusting and selfless..."
"Both repelling and approaching..."
Mrs. Gracie murmured for a long time. After a while, she suddenly frowned and subconsciously blurted out: "Does he love me?"
"Tessie" suddenly paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously under the cover of the mask - the previous reasoning and judgment were correct, but what happened to the last judgment
"By the way, it should be love!" Mrs. Gracie seemed to finally have the answer, but at the same time she was a little unbelievable: "Apart from this, I don't think there is any other emotion that is so contradictory."
"..." No, in fact, there is still a wolf-hearted mother and a son who is struggling to advance and retreat.
Ye Shuang hesitated for half a second as he kept knocking on the door, not sure whether he should go in to visit at this time.
She just happened to pass by, and wanted to test Howard to see if he had time. If Mrs. Gracie didn't wake up, she could justifiably call people out to ask about injuries and get some information... She didn't expect that the plot would take such a turn. It's so horrifying that it's a trivial matter that Mrs. Gracie wakes up. What's really scary is that the other party actually drew such an incredible conclusion from Serif's tangled performance...
No, that's not right! If we talk solely from the perspective of "love", family affection can indeed be regarded as a kind of love.
Ye Shuang was hesitating. Serif, who came out of the room and wanted to pour a glass of whiskey, also passed by her. He stuck his head over and asked strangely: "What are you doing here? Let's go have a drink together."
He felt that his mood was very bad, his mind was a complete mess, and he urgently needed alcohol to calm his fragile nerves.
Mrs. Gracie was very perceptive and raised her eyes to look at "Tessie" when she heard the movement outside the door.
Although the latter was a little tangled, he couldn't destroy his personality, so he still acted with a paralyzed face and understood it, and consciously got up and went to the door to open the door.
Then Ye Shuang and Serifu at the door came into Mrs. Gracie's eyes.
Ye Shuang was okay, she was just concerned and polite. Serif's poor acting skills revealed too many flaws in the eyes of Mrs. Gracie, a seasoned actress.
After being stunned for a moment, the other party became awkward, frowning and looking very disgusted and disgusted, but subconsciously he was also concerned about Mrs. Gracie's injury, so the state of the whole person was verified invisibly. Mrs. Gracie's guess.
—Is it jealousy? Because he loved another handsome man, he treated her badly. But because the other person likes me, that's why he cares unconsciously
It goes without saying that Mrs. Gracie is a romantic figure of her generation, and her ability to perceive the emotions of others is self-evident.
Moreover, she has seen all kinds of characters. Even if she cannot say that she can guess other people's personalities and psychological activities 100% of the time, she can at least have an accuracy of 70% to 80%.
Although she was surprised by the fact that Serif fell in love with such an old woman, Mrs. Gracie quickly accepted this setting.
She glanced at the other party with complicated eyes. Mrs. Gracie, who had never received such selfless "love" from her lover or her previous four husbands, was a little confused for a moment - this face could only be regarded as average, even after looking at it for a long time. Can't stand it.
No ambition means no future, but when it comes to ability, it's pretty good.
It's a pity to give up a forest for a tree, but turning off the lights is almost the same anyway.
The age difference is a bit big. If the other party wants to have offspring, I might have some difficulties...
She accidentally opened her mind too much, and it was only when "Tessie" sat next to her again to massage her arms that Mrs. Gracie suddenly came back to her senses and signaled "Tessie" to help her up. After putting two pillows on the pillows, he nodded slightly to Ye Shuang and the others: "Are you here to visit me? Don't worry about my condition. Please sit down."
"Hmph! I just wanted to come down and get a drink!"
Serifu choked out of reflex, expecting to have another tit-for-tat confrontation. Unexpectedly, this time, Mrs. Gracie had no intention of choking with him.
In fact, the other party just glanced at him calmly, swept him with an insightful look that said "I already know everything", and then casually said to "Tai Xi" next to him: "I remember the wine." There are a few bottles of good vintage wine in the cabinet. You can take them out and give them to Mr. Serif during dinner."
"Tessie" hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly and stood up to leave... The wine cabinet that Mrs. Gracie was talking about was not the display items outside. Mrs. Gracie only had it in the locked oak cabinet in the basement. Mouth mentioned wine.
Serif was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded as he watched "Tessie" pass by him. For a moment, he couldn't accept such a peaceful atmosphere.
They promised to fall in love and kill each other... Bah! Did they agree to dislike each other? Could it be that he was so polite because he had saved her life
It’s not like that, Mrs. Gracie is such an arrogant middle school girl. She doesn’t look like she would be humbled by someone else’s help...
Serifu was confused for a moment, but Ye Shuang understood that this was probably a woman's special tolerance and preferential treatment for her "wholehearted admirer"... There is a reason for all bad attitudes, and there is a reason for all finding trouble.
Since you love me so much, it's okay for me to tolerate some of your little tempers... Mrs. Gracie probably has a similar mentality.
Ye Shuang's facial features drifted. He couldn't imagine what Serif would do if he knew what Mrs. Gracie was thinking... No, if Mrs. Gracie directly revealed it to Serif. idea
Mrs. Gracie really wanted to make it clear to Serif, but since the other party didn't say anything about this, she naturally couldn't make judgments without permission to embarrass the other party.
What's more, there is the extremely handsome Brother Shuang next to her. Even if Serifu is truly in love, Mrs. Gracie feels that she can still consider it more. It is not necessary to promise her life-saving grace. Besides, she is sure that the man who sacrifices this kind of love for her will not accept her emotional life state... If she really takes him in, can the harem still be open
This is a big problem!
So Mrs. Gracie cleared her throat and could only maintain the status quo in a nonchalant tone: "Serif, I am very grateful for your help today. If you need anything in the future, I will be happy to provide you with the help I can."
Brother Shuang raised his eyebrows, was he planning to maintain an ambiguous rhythm
Serif curled his lips and smiled distantly: "What can I need Madam's help for? I know who you are, and you know who I am. We'd better not meet each other in the future."
This meeting was terrible. After the initial impulse was interrupted by a sniper, Serifo no longer had the idea of revealing his identity to Mrs. Gracie.
So what if we make it clear? The other party had no intention at all, and did not even remember that there was a son of hers in this world.
I am afraid that even if she proves herself through DNA testing, Mrs. Gracie will not take a so-called son who suddenly appears out of the blue seriously.
As soon as he thought of this, Serif suddenly felt that his previous idea was simply stupid. Why on earth did he have to stay and settle the matter? If he had known that Mrs. Gracie was such a cold-blooded monster, why would he have to bump into her and commit a crime
For a moment, Serif was so frustrated that he waved his hand and didn't even bother to drink. He turned around and wanted to go back to his room to fend for himself.
Mrs. Gracie frowned and subconsciously stopped the other party: "Wait a minute." (To be continued)
