Did Ah Fu retire today? [Comprehensive British and American]

The young policeman Harris was out of danger, lying in the guest room, breathing steadily, and faintly waking up.

In another room separated by a wall, Dick and Adam were restrained on the bed, given sedative drugs, and gradually calmed down.Their blood samples were tested by Dr. Tompkins who had just left. According to the previous experience, antibodies could be developed tonight.

Things started to turn in a good direction, and Bruce and Alfred were finally able to relax and talk about other things.

For example, Dr. Leslie, whose attitude changed drastically before and after.

Bruce was wearing a light pink nightgown with a wide open collar this time. He nestled tiredly on the sofa and gave a relatively reasonable guess: "Has Leslie finally given up on you? After more than ten years of pursuit After fruitless?"

At least when they met last time, Leslie clearly expressed her affection and admiration for Ah Fu, but when they met again this time, as an outsider with a clear view of the outside world, he had to admit that such an attitude was indeed not like being The look of pursuit.

If I have to make a metaphor, it is more like avoiding after breaking up?

Playboy Playboy Bruce doesn't understand things, Afford Benbat is even more unclear.However, he didn't intend to fall in love at first, so naturally he didn't feel a sense of loss, and he even cared more about when his master would get married than entangled in his unreasonable twilight love.Even if he now has two children.

"Let's talk about your business." Ah Fu said.

Bruce didn't respond: "Is there anything I need to talk about?"

Ah Fu said naturally: "Your blind date."

"But isn't that an expedient measure to win Murdoch's trust?" Bruce suddenly found that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined, "We have to play a play with Kent?"

"Not exactly?" Ah Fu had to do a self-reflection, "I did have selfish intentions at the beginning."

Bruce sat up straight, intending to hear what shocking speech his butler could have.

The butler also said as he expected: "Mr. Kent and you are considered neighbors, so there is no need to worry about the occurrence of a long-distance relationship; you are both superheroes, and you can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts caused by concealing each other. So at the beginning, the erroneous The blind date that Yang mistakenly chose turned out to be Mr. Kent, I was actually a little surprised, and I also had a delusion that you could do a fake show."

"That's really a delusion," Bruce said displeased.

"You're right." Afu recalled the inexplicable unhappiness he felt when he witnessed the two dating, and agreed with Bruce's point of view, "You and Mr. Kent are not suitable."

Bruce was really curious now: "Where are we not suitable?"

Afu fell silent for a while.

He liked the lord, and he didn't dislike small-town boys from the big city, but for some reason, he found it very awkward when the two of them got together and behaved intimately.

This is very strange, the only reasonable explanation Ah Fu can think of is that the two of them are not suitable.

But if it's inappropriate...

With Bruce's blue eyes full of thirst for knowledge, Ah Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and act as an annoying old-fashioned: "Sometimes, social status and personal wealth are also one of the criteria for judging whether a spouse is a good match."

Bruce retorted clearly: "I am the heir of the Wayne Group, Kent is the blood of the Ayer family, I have a net worth of tens of billions, and Kent owns the Fortress of Solitude, so they are actually a good match?"

Ah Fu asked vigilantly: "So, you like Mr. Kent?"

"Are you crazy?" Bruce said with a look of disgust, "Ah Fu, I'm just curious."

Curious about all Ah Fu's thoughts.

His butler has his own little secret, which makes Bruce not very happy. Although he also concealed the identity of Batman from the butler at the beginning, but now, he is transparent in front of Ah Fu!

So when he suddenly learned that his old housekeeper might not be as simple as he thought, and that he was hiding something from him, Bruce couldn't accept it for a while.

Due to the relationship between master and servant, he couldn't press the butler like a criminal, but this did not prevent him from taking every opportunity to understand and analyze his butler in depth.

Just like this moment.

As expected, Ah Fu was stumped. After racking his brains, he managed to think of another reason: "You and Mr. Kent's personalities are not suitable."

"Like?" Bruce assumed a listener's pose.

A Fu said: "For example, you have never liked to deal with silly Baitian, and Mr. Kent probably is not good at dealing with overly arrogant lovers."

"Tsundere?" Bruce didn't adapt well to this unfamiliar vocabulary.

Ah Fu immediately changed his words: "I mean, you are not good at expressing, so you will always be misunderstood, but I know how soft and kind you are in the original."

Bruce is very suspicious that the master Alfred described exists only in his fantasy.Otherwise, how could he ignore the facts and describe him as arrogant, soft and kind?

Bruce tried his best to look at Ah Fu without using the butler filter, and then suddenly found that there seemed to be more strange things about his butler.

I don't know if these have anything to do with the secret he concealed...

Bruce was thinking about his butler, his arms were naturally wrapped around his chest, and his fingertips clicked rhythmically a few times.

But he soon discovered that this had nothing to do with the strange state of the butler's body before, and then he lost his strength, fell backwards suddenly, and smashed into the soft back of the sofa in frustration.

Ah Fu still doesn't know that his poor acting skills and lies have not deceived Bruce, and he thinks that the previous "fake death crisis" has been resolved.

After raising the dissuading reason of "incompatibility of personality", he specially observed Bruce's performance. Seeing that the other party was only thinking but not dissatisfied, he was finally relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

He comforted his master: "Although you have no fate with Mr. Kent, you don't have to be too sad."

Bruce came back to his senses: "Of course I'm not sad."

Ah Fu continued: "We have many choices, you can rest assured."

"Wait." Bruce suddenly noticed that the topic seemed to have turned in a strange direction, "The choice you said is..."

A Fu had already prepared to say: "What do you think of Lawyer Murdoch?"

Bruce: "...?"

Ah Fu began to analyze seriously: "They are both superheroes, but his personality is much more calm than Mr. Kent's, and his appearance is also very handsome. Except for blindness, he is very suitable for you..."

Bruce interrupted his butler: "I don't think so."

In order to prevent Ah Fu from thinking about things and causing trouble for him when he was free, he temporarily assigned a task to the housekeeper: "Leslie is developing antibodies downstairs, you go and see her progress, and ask if you need any help. "

Ah Fu's imagination was suddenly interrupted, and he was somewhat unfinished, but he still dutifully complied and went to the first floor to find Leslie.

Leslie almost moved her entire laboratory here, which made Ah Fu very admired.

He walked into the temporary laboratory lightly, found a corner out of the way, and coughed twice as a reminder.

Leslie taunted without raising her head: "I'm very busy now, and I don't have time to check up on the elderly. If you are really sick...I mean the lungs or trachea, you can go directly to the hospital, and they will take care of you .”

Ah Fu was a little dumbfounded: "I'm just afraid to speak rashly and affect your experiment. Dr. Tompkins, Master Wayne asked me to inquire about the progress of antibody development."

Leslie took some time out of her busy schedule, rolled her eyes at Ah Fu, and then said: "Yes, you can tell Bruce that before two o'clock, I will isolate the antibody. But Pennyworth ..."

"I remember you called me Alfred before?" Afu asked strangely.

Leslie said indifferently: "That's a thing of the past. I already have a new boyfriend, and if I get entangled with my old lover, I'm not a good woman."

Ah Fu asked blankly: "What old lover?"

Leslie didn't answer, but gave Ah Fu a contemptuous look.

Ah Fu is very wronged, he only learned from the master today that Tompkins had pursued him, and he never responded before.Moreover, in the past ten years, in what year has this woman not talked about a few boyfriends?Why didn't you avoid suspicion then?

But Leslie obviously didn't want to talk to him, and Ah Fu didn't ask anything, so he could only sigh in his heart, "Women are fickle", and planned to leave and pass on the good news that the antibody is about to be successfully developed. His master.

But Leslie stopped him: "Pennyworth..."

Ah Fu stopped: "You said?"

Leslie frowned, and asked with some uncertainty: "Why are those injured people in Wayne Manor?"

Ah Fu said, "Didn't the master explain it to you?"

Leslie said, "Bruce said they were all sent by Batman."

A Fu followed the train of thought of his master, and continued: "That's true, so?"

Leslie said: "But why send it to Bruce, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the hospital?"

Afu thought for a moment, and explained: "Because the master is Batman's patron, that's why he can gain the trust of this vigilante. Who knows which of the other hospitals has not been infiltrated by gangsters."

"What you said makes sense." Leslie seemed to be convinced, "I'm just afraid that Bruce will get into trouble. You know, Thomas and Martha paid Bruceto to us..."

"It's me." Ah Fu had to interrupt, "Ms. Tompkins."

Leslie suppressed her anger and continued: "...I don't want Bruce to be in danger!"

"Believe me, ma'am, I'm the last person who doesn't want this to happen." A Fuchong nodded slightly to Dr. "If there's nothing else, I'll report the progress to the master first."

Leslie waved her hands tiredly, signaling Ah Fu to leave quickly.

Ah Fu obviously didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye politely, and immediately went back to the second floor to find Bruce.

In fact, he really wanted to say that his master had already been involved in the trouble, and even he himself was at the center of the trouble, and he might encounter danger every day.

He can still protect the master now, but once the enemy becomes a powerful existence that he can't fight against, then who will protect the master?

He hopes that Bruce can get married and have children. In addition to being concerned about him after the identity of the housekeeper is cancelled, he cannot deny that he hopes that Bruce can return to the life of ordinary people and completely separate from the identity of Batman. Selfish.

Ah Fu sighed silently, and pushed open the door of the guest room.

Bruce was still nestled on the sofa, and he didn't even change his sitting posture, but for some reason, he always felt that the master's face was particularly ugly.

Much uglier than before he left.

Ah Fu tentatively said, "Master?"

Bruce looked up, looking at his butler with complicated eyes.

Ah Fu said with some hesitation: "The antibody will be isolated at two o'clock tonight at the latest, and Master Dick will be fine."

Bruce nodded, and suddenly asked, "What happened in the war room?"

Ah Fu said vigilantly: "Nothing, I just fell asleep, sir."

"Okay, you're asleep, I won't ask any more about this matter." Bruce pursed his lips, "But what I'm referring to is the monitoring of the Batcave, why are all the 8 cameras I arranged earlier destroyed? ?”

Ah Fu looked away guiltily: "Did you go to the war preparation room to check the monitoring?"

"So, Alfred." Bruce put his hands on his lips, leaned forward, and looked straight at his butler, "What do you think is the reason?"

Ah Fu lowered his head, looked back at his master's blue eyes full of curiosity, and fell into a long silence.
