Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 83 Reiter's Entrustment

"Is there any other way?" she asked Rhett. "How about I go and make amends to your enemy?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Rhett was no longer excited, "It's the same sentence, if this method is useful, will I stay here?" Looking at her tricky look, I knew I was thinking too much , and she saw it out.But that's good, at least she won't ask herself again who she offended was arrested, and she won't think about why she came to the north.I have offended too many people, I really want him to talk about it.Of course he knew who caught it, but it was just a hand. As for the mastermind behind it and the person who pointed the way to this hand—he didn't want Scarlett to get involved.

"Then I'll go and ask Mr. Walmont, he'll definitely save you." Scarlett didn't give up, and didn't even care about Disson's instructions to her.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago. There are not many people who can bring you here except him in San Francisco." Rhett's eyes suddenly became very strange, "It seems that I saw the right person." His eyes fixed on Scarlett's heart shuddered.

"What?" Scarlett didn't understand what his nonsensical words meant at first, and then she saw Rhett's strange eyes-she noticed that he had this expression when she mentioned Ashley before , but didn't notice that there was something different hidden in it - she quickly explained: "It's not what you think. I have nothing to do with him, not even a friend, the most is asking him to help me Do me a favor."

"It's not even counted as a friend-he would do you such a big favor?" Rhett expressed his disbelief.

"It's not because of the portrait you took." Scarlett wanted to explain, but found that it would take a long time to explain the story clearly, and since she entered this reception room, she felt inexplicably depressed, even time It all seemed to be compressed and passed quickly, so after she said this sentence, she found that she couldn't organize her words to say the following.It's just that this sentence is enough, Rhett's expression became calm again. "I see. It looks like I misread the person."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Scarlett was at a loss for what he said.

"It's nothing, just a little emotion." He smiled and continued, "Who did you come with this time?"

"Oh, except Mr. Walmont's family of four," Scarlett saw Rhett's brows knit together again, perhaps thinking about who the fourth person was. "And Jack."

"My God!" Rhett exclaimed in a low voice, and asked anxiously, "Why did you bring him here?"

"He insists on coming, and I can't stop him." Scarlett saw that Rhett's brows were still indecipherable, and added, "And you don't know, Dr. Kevin—" Seeing Rhett's blank expression, she explained, " He is Mr. Walmont's cousin, a doctor, and he treated Angela's illness." Only then did Rhett understand.Seeing that he was so interested, Scarlett didn't care about time, and simply told him the stories she heard from Langley and Deason, and told him about Jack and Angela by the way.It's just that she still has reservations about Jack's origin and the unsolved case, and she doesn't know Rhett's reaction after hearing these, and she is not sure whether Rhett has found out about Jack.If he also knows those things, there is no need to say any more. If he doesn't know, I should not add new mental burdens to him.But judging from his excited reaction just now, he should already know it.

"I didn't expect things to be so complicated." Rhett's eyes glowed with the kind of light she was familiar with, longing for adventure and challenge.Immediately afterwards, the light changed again, becoming deeper, and there was still worry that could not be concealed. "Then what do you mean, Jack, he still doesn't know that he is suspected of being a murderer, and he is still looking for his memory?"

"Sure, that's right." Scarlett thought of Jack's abnormal behavior after announcing that he was coming to the north, and tried to comfort Rhett with a certain affirmation in her tone, but she still couldn't escape Rhett's eyes.He stared at Scarlett's flickering eyes, and said calmly, "You're not telling the truth."

"Because I don't know what the real situation is like." Scarlett had no choice but to tell Ritter about Jack's abnormal behavior after hypnotizing Angela that time, and let him judge for himself.

After listening to her words quietly, Rhett fell into deep thought.Prison is not a place for thinking, but Rhett doesn't care about the weird atmosphere made by his behavior.Scarlett was dying of anxiety while watching, praying that he could speak quickly, the depression here really made her feel very uncomfortable.Fortunately, he finally spoke.

"It seems that he should know, although I don't know how he knew." Rhett's expression was frozen like a lake in winter after he relaxed from the tense thinking. "It's not easy now."

"You won't say, did he really do it?" Scarlett can only say this now.She didn't realize that her original purpose of coming here had been taken far away by Rhett's words.

"Now I can only say that there is a possibility." Although it was a speculation, his gloomy voice was completely pronouncing a sentence for a prisoner with solid evidence.

Scarlett recognized that this was an excuse.Two people who are important to her say that Jack is suspicious, and her unwarranted trust in Jack begins to crumble.She asked Rhett: "Then what should I do, I can't keep a murderer by my side?"

"Forget it, it's not like you haven't done this before." Rhett suddenly laughed at her, "Did you forget that brave Mr. Archie?"

"That's, that's—" Scarlett didn't expect that he would suddenly change his face, and at this moment he actually mentioned that Archie who didn't know where he was right now, which caught her off guard and couldn't even finish her sentence.Whenever she thinks of him, Scarlett will think of the hug between herself and Ashley that he bumped into, and it was it that planted the root of her separation from Rhett.In fact, she was also wronged, but no one believed it except Meili.Now that Rhett still mentioned him in this situation, she really didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't still be worried about that matter, right?

"Besides, aren't you keen on relying on prisoners to create value?" Rhett added fuel to the fire by bringing up her hiring of prisoners, and she almost forgot about it.Scarlett gave Rhett a hard look, only to find that his eyes burned with that alertness, eagerness, and anticipation that she knew so well but seldom understood the true meaning of.Her heart moved. In the past, she lost him because she always misunderstood the true feelings behind his expression. Now he is like this again. What exactly do you want to do?She thought carefully about what she would say in reply.

"Besides, Jack is only suspected now, and no one knows whether he really did it." Rhett's words reminded her: Jack is innocent if he hasn't been convicted—even if it is him. , I can't just watch him being taken away.Scarlett had thought this way before when Lanli suspected Jack, and now she has thought about the reason and method for doing so: she doesn't know how good the old couple are, and she can't care about them, they are dead anyway There is no point in pursuing it any further.But she knows what kind of person Jack is. Although sometimes his behavior makes her incomprehensible, he is the only person besides Rhett who understands herself. She and Rhett got back together, and that alone is enough to make her skip all laws and morals for him now, even though she doesn't really abide by them.And there is another most important reason for her to do so: Jack is the one she sees at a glance, and also the one she values, and she never doubts her own vision—of course, maybe Ashley is an exception.

"You're right. Jack isn't doing well right now. No matter what method is used, it's enough to hide this matter from the past." Scarlett said suddenly.

"This is like Scarlett? O'Hara." The approval in Rhett's eyes flashed, and then turned into a serious question, "How do you plan to hide it?"

"Lanley's side should be fine. Jack saved Angela's life. Lanli and Mr. Walmont won't do anything to him; I just need to be a good guardian to prove that he's okay to protect him; you Needless to say here; the Yankees probably wouldn't cling to an unsolved case two or three years ago; It's a bit difficult to value those inexplicable things." Scarlett thought hard, and suddenly she understood. "Yes, I'll let him hypnotize himself once, and let him forget about that case."

"It's really a thorough plan." Although Rhett's words were praises, the tone was completely different. "It's just that you think he will be willing to listen to you obediently?"

"I did it for his own good." Scarlett was not convinced.

"But they may not accept your favor." Reiter retorted.

"If you don't take it, you have to take it!" Scarlett raised her chin, opened her green eyes wide, and her whole face was full of strong confidence and persistence. "If knocking him out makes him forget about it, I'll do it too."

"Indeed, I know that you will do more outrageous things if necessary." This time, the approval in Ritter's eyes no longer flashed, but gradually emerged from the bottom of his heart to the bottom of his eyes following Scarlett's words. Also saw it.It's just that before she had time to be happy, Rhett's expression became serious again. "Judging from your performance just now, you have made great progress compared to before, and I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to you."
