Chapter 40 Reward and Revenge

"These damn gangsters!" Isabella gritted her teeth, wishing she could eat those people alive: "Last month, a gang called the Van der Linde gang committed a massacre in Blackwater Town, and this time it was the O'Drisco gang again. , these people should all go to hell!”

There was no way to continue this topic. He was the one who helped Vanderlinde. Zhou Zheng lowered his head to hide his embarrassed expression.

"Okay, let's take a rest. I'll take you back when it gets daylight." Zhou Zheng said quickly, then he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest: "I'll lend you the blanket over there, if you don't mind it."

Isabella looked at the blanket on the ground. It was clean and had no strange smell. It was still a bit cold at night, so he didn't hesitate to cover himself.

She had a very restless sleep that night. The image of her brother's tragic death repeatedly appeared in Isabella's mind. Even when she fell asleep, she could still see her brother covered in blood in her dream.

Zhou Zheng woke up at dawn and found this little girl sitting in a daze by the river. Her face was pale and she was shivering wrapped in a blanket. She looked very bad. Zhou Zheng called her twice, but she was speechless. He raised his head, but could not speak.

Zhou Zheng secretly said something bad and stepped forward to touch her forehead. Sure enough, she had a fever and he had to send her back quickly.

He packed up his things and helped Isabella onto the horse. He was afraid that she would fall, so he had to tie her to himself with a rope.

"Hey, where is your home in Blackwater Town? How can I find it?"

Isabella vaguely gave an address, so go and ask someone somewhere.

Isabella's home is a luxurious single-family villa in the wealthy area of ​​Blackwater Town, with various precious flowers planted in the beautiful gardens in the front and back.

When she saw her home, Isabella's tears flowed out uncontrollably. When the servant at the door saw her young lady's embarrassment, she hurriedly shouted toward the house and helped her off her horse.

Zhou Zheng was standing at the door. No one was paying attention to him at this time. When Isabella saw a man coming out of the house, she couldn't control herself at all. She threw herself into the man's arms and burst into tears.

The man hugged Isabella and looked at his woman's embarrassed appearance. Then he looked around and saw that his son was not there. He instantly understood what had happened, and his wrinkled face was instantly filled with tears.

While carefully patting his daughter's back, he comforted her: "It's okay, Isabella, everything is over."

Isabella was sobbing while telling her father what happened. When it was said that her son had died tragically, the man finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed directly to the ground.

"Father, are you okay? Wuwuwuwu..." Isabella wanted to comfort her father, but she couldn't say anything. The father and daughter slumped at the door, crying together.

Zhou Zheng stepped forward and said: "Sir, from your daughter's description, it seems that the person who killed your son was someone from the O'Drisco gang. I think you at least have a target for revenge. Also, your daughter She has a high fever, probably due to excessive fright, so you have to find a doctor for her quickly."

The man wiped his tears, stood up, looked at Zhou Zheng and said while holding back his grief: "Sir, I am very grateful to you for helping my daughter. If you don't mind, please come in and sit for a while, I will satisfy you." A thank you gift."

He called the servants to take Zhou Zheng to the living room first. He will arrive soon. After speaking, he helped his daughter up: "Isabella, go back and rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Zhou Zheng followed the servant to the drawing room. It was indeed a rich man's home. Its splendor was as grand as a carriage in Cornwall. Sitting on the sofa, the servant asked quietly: "Sir, would you like to drink tea or pick up coffee?"

I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t had tea yet: “Let’s have a cup of tea, just plain tea.”

The turquoise tea soup is packed in white porcelain. It seems that this set was obtained from China. Zhou Zheng smiled, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip. He couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, but he also knew that the tea was certainly not cheap.

Not long after, Isabella's father walked in. Zhou Zheng stood up to greet him. As soon as they sat down, the servant brought him a cup of coffee. He took a sip from the cup and took a piece from the servant behind him. Hand the check to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng looked confused: "Sir, what are you doing?"

"My name is William Smith. I am the councilman of Blackwater Town. I am very grateful to you for saving my daughter, and thank you for bringing the news about my son's murderer. This is two thousand dollars, which can be directly used in several nearby places. I have cashed it at a bank in several states, and I hope you can accept it. I have already notified Pinkerton, and they will be there soon. I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer."

This man is also interesting, he expresses gratitude in his words, and he gives money neatly. But when he mentions Pinkerton in the second half of the sentence, are you afraid that I will repay the favor?

Zhou Zheng was thinking while drinking tea. This man is not pretentious. Putting down the tea cup, he said: "First of all, it was purely an accident that I saved your daughter. I didn't ask for anything in return..."

Before Zhou Zheng could finish speaking, William interrupted him and pushed the check in Zhou Zheng's direction: "But the return is important, isn't it?"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, it is very important, but I want to ask you for some news, or I hope you can help me check the news. I don't know if it is possible."

William looked at him deeply and said, "Tell me, as long as it's within my ability, I can do it."

Zhou Zheng asked: "Are you familiar with this person Cornwall?" Zhou Zhengjue found it really difficult to find this scumbag Zhou Xing by himself, and the gang was in troubled times, and he didn't know when he would be able to find him. This William at least He is quite powerful, and even if he fails, at least for the sake of saving his daughter, he will not betray himself easily.

William took out a cigar, and the servant behind him quickly stepped forward to light it. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I don't know what your relationship is with Cornwall, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't like this person. He is the funder behind my competitor, and he always wants those few pieces of my money." It’s a ranch because there may be oil underneath. If you are one of his people, then I advise you to take the money and leave now.”

This was easy to handle. Zhou Zheng felt that he had made the right bet and said: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. William, I am not from Cornwall. On the contrary, I have some accounts to settle with him." Then, he told his origins Tell William five to ten.

William smoked a cigar and listened to Zhou Zheng finish his story, and said: "I do hate Cornwall, but just based on what you said, I can't even touch one of his hairs. You have to know that your skin color In this country, you are not protected. If you want to seek revenge on Cornwall, I can't help you."
