Not to mention how worried Hughes will be about James, he is currently eating a simple breakfast listlessly.

It is reasonable to say that James should be in good spirits after a night of rest, but recalling last night, James has the urge to swear, damn it, last night was so brutal.

There was a regular knock on the door, and James guessed that it was Lewis who came and opened the door. It was indeed him, with the same haggard face and dark circles under his eyes.

"Good morning, sir."

James let Lewis come in, sat down and continued to struggle with breakfast. Although the breakfast here was not good, it was better than eating dry food in the carriage.

"Did you also meet the woman who recommended you last night?" James raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, sir, did you also encounter it?" Lewis was surprised, it seemed that he was not the only one who encountered such a situation.

"Well, I met more than ten." James sighed.

"Ah, sir, sure enough you are more popular. There are only three in my place." Lewis said with a little sympathy and a little bit of fun.

James saw Lewis's appearance, Nima's sympathy?James was outraged.And is he gloating?It seems that the work he arranged is too easy.

But thinking about what happened last night, James felt a kind of unbearable depression.The first knock on the door he heard last night thought it was a late night snack, but this late night snack was not the other night snack, and then came twice, James still opened the door, it was still a woman, he was thinking about whether to change The hotel, but considering that it was very late, the other hotels should be closed in the same situation. After waiting for a long time without knocking on the door, James thought it should stop, but in the middle of the night, when he was sleeping just right, he stopped again. Someone knocked on the door.After all, there is no end, learned a lesson, James did not open the door this time, thinking that everyone should know his attitude, but the fact is just the opposite, people kept knocking on the door, wave after wave, until it was almost dawn.James was so annoyed that he wanted to scold him directly. Could it be that he is a mountain, and because of his ignoring attitude, it is difficult to conquer, so it arouses their interest, so must he conquer?James was frightened by the thoughts in his head. He must have been thinking wildly because he didn't sleep well last night. He had to force himself to rest even in the carriage today.

"Let's go, let's go now." James didn't want to stay here at all, he would sometimes suffer from nervous breakdown like Mrs. Bennet.

"Okay sir." Lewis also hurriedly left at the fastest speed. Although he is usually not slow, today is definitely a record.

"Sitting in the carriage, James put the memories of last night behind him, concentrated, and tried to focus on the scenery outside."

The ear really listened to the conversation between Lewis and the coachman, because today the coachman is in good spirits, and the contrast between the two people with dark circles is too great.

"Did anything happen to you last night?"

"No, I slept well. But I don't think you are resting well. I thought you would be happy today." The coachman replied quickly.

"It's not just bad, I was tortured last night. You seem to know something when you say that." Lewis heard something strange, what does it mean that he will be happy.

"Hehe, you don't understand this. When you stay in some hotels at night, you will usually meet those prostitutes. Yesterday, so many people thought you were big shots, so I know you will have a passionate night at night." .” The coachman looked like someone who came here.

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier?" Lewis complained a little, and James felt the same at this time.

"I thought you knew that, and most men like this." The coachman meant that James and Lewis really didn't understand the style.

"I've been tired all day, who has the heart to think about this." Lewis blushed a little, a virgin can't afford to be hurt.

"And, how could no one look for you last night, I don't believe it."

"I really don't know if anyone has come to look for it, because I slept with cotton plugs in my ears. So..." The coachman was a little proud.

James was speechless, it was such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it? Last night, what a mistake.

The rest of the journey was silent, and we will soon arrive in Birmingham.

James looked at Birmingham in front of him and sighed, it was really not easy for them to go through all kinds of difficulties.Of course, this is James’ exaggeration. It’s the first time for him to travel such a simple long distance. It’s really embarrassing for him. Seeing that Birmingham has finally arrived, James’s eyes are filled with tears. I don't want to keep running.

The carriage is advancing leisurely, you can't run amok on the street, the voices outside are boiling, just in time for the busiest time.

"Sir, where do we go outside now?" The coachman was also very happy to see the bustling scene, and finally arrived at the destination.

"Well, let's go to the company to have a look first, so we can understand what the situation is before we talk about it." James always felt weird. It seemed that someone had been following him since he set off from London. He used to think that he was following him all the way. Yes, he didn't find anyone, so it's hard to tell, but here, the feeling of being followed is still entangled, which makes James have to be vigilant, ignorance is the most worrying thing.

"Yes, sir." After speaking, the coachman drove the carriage and turned to another street.

"Mr. is here." The coachman hesitated for a while and then said: "Sir, please don't get out of the car, something is wrong here, I'll go over and have a look first."

"What's going on?" James frowned after hearing this. Could it be that the matter is serious again?

James didn't receive Hughes' letter, so he didn't know that this place was much more serious than he thought.

"This is supposed to be the office of the company, but a bunch of people gathered at the door. There are workers, and some look like local ruffians, making noises there. I don't know what happened. I don't think the people there can hold back. It is." The coachman recounted what he had seen.

James heard that it was so serious, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look over.Why is this scene so familiar, it seems that they are here to recover the wages owed, but it also seems that someone is picking the head and deliberately looking for trouble.

Lewis also saw it, and said, "Sir, let's stay in the car now, it may be more troublesome to go down now."

What Lewis didn't say is that if those people go down now and know that James is the person in charge of the head office, they may directly target James, which will be bad.James obviously thought of this too, and nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see how the people here deal with this situation.

An hour passed, and the crowd hadn't dispersed, and they were about to lose their hold. At this time, a person who seemed to be the leader finally came out. Looking from a distance, he didn't know what to say, and the crowd dispersed. But James looked at the retreating crowd and found it very strange. How could such a situation seem to have been practiced many times.Things are getting more complicated and more interesting.

Seeing the crowd leave, James and the others got out of the car and walked towards the company.

"Stop, who are you?" The gatekeeper looked at the three of James warily.It's an extraordinary time, so we can't let people go in casually.

"I'm the person in charge from London, and I'll tell Mr. Evans when he comes out."

Who knew that the gatekeeper became even more vigilant after saying this. "What can you prove." God knows if the killer pretends to be a big shot again this time to assassinate the main leader of the company. Since the killer went in through the door and succeeded in the assassination last time, the people above have ordered, You must be more careful when you meet such a person.

"Take this in and show it to Mr. Evans and you'll know." James didn't blame him either, he needed this kind of cautious person now.

The gatekeeper took what James handed over and handed it to another person to go in. He still watched James and his party closely, guarding against any moves from them.

After a while, the person who had just entered came out, followed by a middle-aged man with a tense expression.

"Is that Mr. Bennett? I'm Davis, the manager here." Davis came to James and said in a low voice, his eyes looking around, probably no one knew that people from London were coming.

"I am." James wanted to say something, but Mr. Davis interrupted.

"Mr. Bennet, the situation is critical now, we'd better go in first." So he took James and the others in.

James looked at Davis's expression, his face was not good, and he hurried to follow.

When he arrived at Mr. Davis's office, Mr. Davis was relieved.

Before sitting down, even without a glass of water, Davis said something, which was like a bomb to James and the others.

"Mr. Evans was assassinated five days ago, and he was out of danger yesterday." Davis said in a deep voice.

"What? Assassination?" The matter became serious, "It's great that Mr. Evans is out of danger, so where is he now?"

"Now recuperating in a relatively secret place."

"Tell me what's going on." Now that Mr. Evans is fine, James feels relieved.

After listening to what Davis said, I realized what was going on.

The development of the matter started a month ago. According to Mr. Davis, at the beginning, the company was implicated by the clothing company of the same industry, because the workers of Fulla, which is also a clothing company, had conflicts due to unfair treatment. In the beginning, Evans and the others were still watching the show, wishing that their opponents would be as chaotic as possible. After all, the treatment in their own company is very good, and it is generally not the case that there will be a strike due to salary issues.But I don’t know when it started. This strike has swept through the whole of Birmingham. The most serious ones are Furla and his own company. The others are small and easy to solve. Now everyone in Birmingham I am looking at my own company and Fulla company.Mr. Davis said that he doesn’t know why so far, because the people who come to make troubles are not for wages, but people come to make troubles every day, and Mr. Evans was assassinated. He doesn’t have the energy to deal with it now.This is also why Mr. Davis was so afraid that someone would see James and the others just after he resigned. He was afraid that the killer would come again after he knew about it.

Meanwhile, while James was still listening to Davies, they were being talked about elsewhere in Birmingham.

"Has that Bennett arrived in Birmingham?" The person who asked the question looked very imposing.

"Yes, I followed all the way from London, and found nothing in the meantime."

"It's like this, then we will start to closely monitor them now, as well as the leadership of that company. They must have a consensus that they knew something, so they were assassinated. We must get the evidence before those guys, and when necessary Even if they are exposed, we must protect Bennett and the others." When the man talked about those guys, his face was full of resentment.
