Between life and death [unlimited]

When it was almost the end of school that afternoon, Jiang Li and the three of them stood at the school gate early.

Jiang Xun also found that the modified bulletproof car that sent Jacques and himself here in the morning also parked on time in an alley near the school.

Although the three of Jiang Xun were just players who came here to carry out missions, they also fulfilled the duties of Master Jacques' "bodyguards" just now - they all patrolled around the campus, fearing that any accidents would happen.After all, the specific content of the task is still unclear to everyone, and there is always nothing wrong with being careful.

Soon, the get out of class bell of this school for noble children was also rang, and the students who had been sleepy in the classroom for a day swarmed out of the teaching building like bees about to go out to collect honey.

Jiang Lai didn't think he was face-blind.But now when he suddenly saw so many faces of foreign children who were about the same height, hair color, and even looks the same, he couldn't help but feel at a loss.

He seemed unable to find the little boy with dark brown hair and blue pupils in the crowd.

Lanchester himself was about the same height as those children, so when the group of children rushed out, he was the most impacted.But at the same time it was to his advantage, because he could see the faces of these children better than his two tall friends.

"Jacques?" After stopping a little boy who looked like Jacques, Lanchester took a closer look and found that the child in his hand was not the Jacques Blades he was looking for, so he had to let it go immediately. The child apologized and said: "I'm sorry... I admitted the wrong person, I admitted the wrong person..."

Fortunately, the "frenzy" of students after school only lasted for a short time-although it was the only noble school in the surrounding area, there were not so many noble children in this group-so, the students who came out later also They stopped getting together, and the three of Jiang Xun and the others could recognize each other a lot.

But when the crowds in the campus became less and less, even after no one came out later, Jiang Lai and the others still hadn't seen the shadow of the young master Jacques.

The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly there was a not-so-good premonition in their hearts.

Jiang Lai immediately ran to the car of Blades family, reached out and knocked on the window and asked the driver inside, "Is Jacques in the car?" He was afraid that they missed Jacques just now, and then Jacques was alone Back to the car first.

But the driver in charge of driving shook his head strangely, and denied to Jiang Li: "There is no young master in the car? Is the young master not finished class yet? But I remember that the young master should not have many classes today..."

Jiang Xun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't even have time to answer the driver's question, so he ran straight into the school.Relying on the former memory of the owner of this body, Jiang Xun immediately found Mr. Jacques' office.

He rushed in and asked the blond female teacher, "Have you seen Jacques?"

"Jacques?" The female teacher seemed to recall Jiang Lai's identity, and then replied, "Sorry, I don't have class this afternoon, so I don't know much." There might be something wrong with Jacques, and he took the initiative to say, "I'll help you with the teacher in the afternoon class."

"excuse me."

The female teacher brought Jiang Lai to another classroom very quickly. The teacher was packing up her things and hadn't left yet.The female teacher asked directly: "Lena, did you teach here in the last class? Was Jacques there just now?"

The female teacher called "Lena" was startled when she saw her colleague and Jiang Xun's menacing appearance, but she quickly replied: "Jacques... no, he seems to have skipped class Well... after all, I teach theology, and most of the students don't like this class very much..."

It may also be because the teachers at the school are well aware of the power of the Blades family behind Jacques, so even if Jacques really skipped class, there should be no teacher to take care of him.

When Jiang Lai heard this, his face immediately darkened, and then he turned around and ran towards the outside of the school.

When Lanchester and Shire saw Jiang Lai running out of the school in a hurry, they also suddenly realized something, and then they heard Jiang Lai say to them in a bad tone: "Jacques is missing." .”

……

Together with the driver, the three searched carefully around Jacques' school, inside and out, but in the end they still did not find any useful clues.

Jiang Lai was standing in Jacques' classroom, and the two female teachers did not dare to leave work, and they had been accompanying Jiang Lai and the others to find Jacques' whereabouts.

You know, the security measures in this school for the children of nobles are quite good.There is only one gate inside the campus, which is where Jiang Xun and the others have been staying - during the entire class, Jiang Xun and the others did not see anyone coming out of the campus.

Moreover, in addition to the security guards who patrol the campus daily, the three of Jiang Xun also walk around from time to time, and this school is not very big, so the possibility of Jacques climbing over the wall and going out during class should also be ruled out.

More importantly, according to the descriptions of the teachers and the memory of the original owner Jiang Lai, Jacques is not at all like a child who would voluntarily skip classes, and Blades has always been very strict, even almost harsh. family Education.

So, now there is only one possibility that no one wants to see about Jacques' disappearance - Jacques should have been kidnapped.

After Jiang Lai and the others returned to the castle of the Blades family, before they had time to report the news of Jacques' disappearance to Blades, they saw the butler walking into the meeting with a letter in a hurry. in the living room.

Blades should be negotiating business with guests at this time.His family is mainly engaged in cross-border transportation, which is a modern logistics business.

Although the butler knew that Blades didn't like people disturbing him while he was working, this time the situation was really helpless.

Because the butler was afraid that if he dared to delay for a moment, it might end up in an irreparable situation, so he interrupted in a low voice: "Master..."

Sure enough, Blades raised his head, glanced at his butler with dissatisfaction, and then signaled him to leave quickly, so as not to delay his conversation with the guests.

But the housekeeper came to Blades as if he didn't see the master's signal, and handed him a mail that had just been opened, "Master... I think you should take a look at it first." this……"

Blades looked suspiciously at this butler who never made mistakes in etiquette—otherwise he wouldn’t let him work for him for more than ten years—so Blades finally felt a little strange and reached out to take it. got that letter.

He smiled apologetically at his guest again: "I'm sorry, please wait for me a moment." The other party tolerantly expressed that he didn't care.

But after Blades quickly read the letter in his hand, his face sank immediately, and his brows and eyes were full of anger.He suddenly turned around and said to his guest: "I'm very sorry, I have something to do here suddenly... I'll ask the secretary to make an appointment with you next time. I'm afraid I can only come here today. I'm very sorry."

The man also expressed his understanding in a good-tempered manner, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you have to go to work first if you have something to do, as long as the 'goods' are delivered on time in three days..."

The three of Jiang Xun who had been staying in the hall all the time saw Blades walking straight towards them from the living room with a look of hesitation on his face.

"Who can tell me what's going on now?!" Blades said to the three of them in a deep voice.

Although Blades had tried his best to control his volume, it still sounded like he was shouting at them: "Claude, where is Jacques? Where is Jacques now? I need to hear your reasonable explanation!"

"Master, we are sorry..."

Seeing that Jiang Lai just kept silent, Lanchester immediately stood up to smooth things over: "But we have thoroughly investigated that school, and patrolled everywhere in the afternoon as usual... No one expected such a thing to happen. "

"So? If you are really the same as usual, then why did my Jacques disappear at school?" Blades was extremely angry now, and his face became cloudy.

"It is true that we have been patrolling all the time, and no one has come out of the gate of the school..." Charles also stood up at this time, and explained to Blades: "However, we really don't know, what is going on? What happened..."

Blades also knew that his subordinates were not incompetent.Now that things have happened, this time, I am afraid that the other party really came prepared.But even if he thought so, his face was still very ugly.

It's been a long time since Blades had this feeling of being "handled" by someone.This made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Leave you alone for now... This is a letter sent to me by the kidnapper, Ethan, read it." Then Blades picked up the letter in his hand and asked his butler to read the content written on it .

"...As you can see, your little son, Jacques Blades, is in our hands now... Believe me, please don't try to call the police, otherwise something we don't want to see will happen..."

"What we need is a breeze for you... Three days later, you parked the vehicle full of AK-57 rifles in the place we stipulated...your little son Jacques Blades, I will also safely return to your side..."

But before the housekeeper finished reading, Blades' wife, Jacqueline, hurried down the stairs.She originally wanted to go for a walk in the garden outside, but overheard what the butler just read.

She walked down quickly, grabbed her husband's cuff, and asked Blades in disbelief: "Oh God... Blades, what happened now? Jacques... Why hasn't Jacques back home?"

Jacqueline is a big beauty with platinum hair and pure blue eyes. It can be seen that Jacques' pupil color followed his mother's.Although she is getting old now, a beauty is like red wine. Time will not reduce her beauty, but will only add to her temperament.

However, after learning that her youngest son was kidnapped, Jacqueline seemed unable to maintain her elegant image.

"Calm down! Jacqueline, calm down!" Blades grabbed his wife and shook his hands wildly, and ordered the maid behind: "Take your wife upstairs first!"

Then, he said to his wife: "Jacqueline, please calm down... Jacques is fine now, and the kidnappers have already sent a letter! They said that Jacques' life will not be harmed for the time being."

It may be because the eldest son is on the battlefield now, and only the younger son is with her, so even after hearing Blades' explanation, Jacqueline is still very emotional.

Even though she was being supported by two maids forcibly, she never forgot to yell at Blades: "Then let's give them whatever the kidnappers want...any amount is fine, sir, Blades, I beg you!" Please... Jacques is our own flesh and blood!"

Blades didn't seem to hear what his wife said.After Jacqueline went upstairs, he said to Jiang Xun and the three of them: "No matter what happened to Jacques, the three of you have unshirkable responsibilities... So, I hope you can solve it as soon as possible. "

It can also be inferred from his words that Blades is definitely unwilling to obediently prepare the truck with the AK-57 rifle according to what the kidnappers said.

According to the memory of the original owner, Jiang Lai also remembered that although the Blades family was doing cross-border transportation on the surface, they had been secretly doing gray deals of providing arms to various countries.

After Lanchester heard Blades' words, he immediately assured him: "Please rest assured, master! We will definitely bring the young master back!"

Later that day, the three players came to the basement of the castle, preparing to share dinner with the servants—of course, they also wanted to get together with the other two players to discuss the plot of the mission.

So, everyone first came to the kitchen for dinner.

Players and NPCs are actually well distinguished in this world, because players don't talk much when eating, while NPC servants are talking there.

"...Is country M and our country really at war?" A male servant asked suddenly.

Soon another male servant replied: "That's not true! The war has been going on for a long time, isn't country M always like this, people in their country like to provoke wars everywhere, and like to invade the land of other countries. What a savage country!"

"But country M is indeed the most powerful country in the world! This is also an undeniable fact. Otherwise, why would the master marry the eldest lady to country M? Also, you don't feel that the master treats Is the young lady Isabella's attitude particularly good?"

After this person talked about it, everyone found that it seemed to be the case.

At this time, someone suddenly thought: "Hey, I remember that Mrs. Riander's son also went to the battlefield, right?"

When Melinda heard this, she nodded immediately and said, "Yes, children who are his age and who happen to be serving in the military should all be called to the battlefield... I hope God can bless my Charles to return safely. "

"Yes! Mrs. Riandel, you are so kind, and God will surely bless your child."

"However, I have a question..." Suddenly another male servant interjected: "Isn't our master providing weapons for country M? Does this mean that the master is also supporting country M to attack our own country?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone present was instantly silent.Because saying that, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

In the end, it was Ethan, the butler who spoke, as if admonishing or warning. He said to everyone: "Don't discuss this kind of issue about war at the dinner table. We only need to know that the Blades family provided us with food and clothing. It’s enough to do our part well. Other things, even if we think about it, are useless.”

Maybe things like war are too harsh, plus the fact that the servants usually rely on eating to relax, so someone quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, that's right... Do you know what that big 'cage' that was moved in from the back door a few days ago was used for?"

This somewhat mysterious topic immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people, but everyone expressed that they did not know clearly.

"I think I saw that day too..."

"But it was transported in by a special person that day, and I didn't see what was inside..."

Suddenly a maid said timidly, "I seem to know..."

So everyone immediately looked at her, "The 'cage' contained in it may be the new 'god' invited by the master from outside..."

The author has something to say: I made up the name of the gun casually, don’t take it seriously hahh
