The Third Winter Soldier

Faced with Rosen's question, Lilith just nodded and said simply: "That's right."

"What happened?" Rosen showed a puzzled expression, "This kid shouldn't be so timid! Could it be that he was fainted by dinosaurs or some aliens?"

Lilith lamented Rosen's imagination in her heart. Of course, she didn't express such emotions, and said, "It shouldn't be a dinosaur or an alien. Why is he so frightened? You can ask him when he wakes up." Bar!"

Rosen looked at Charlie on the sofa, was silent for a while, and said, "No matter what he saw, I have to say, this guy is too embarrassing for the Nemo family."

Lilith didn't answer his words, but noticed that he was fully dressed and seemed ready to go to the company, so she said, "I'm going upstairs to change now, wait a minute."

"Okay." Rosen nodded, no longer entangled with the unconscious Charlie on the sofa, and walked towards the kitchen.

Lilith went upstairs to take a quick battle shower, and then changed into the "work clothes" that Rosen gave her. They were two sets of dark blue women's suits, with exquisite tailoring, the waist design of the top and the ingenious diagonal cut technique on the trousers. , perfectly highlighting her waist and legs, she doesn't look like a bodyguard, but a secretary or something.She looked at herself in the mirror with dissatisfaction for the nth time, and thought, even if this set of work clothes was worn for 100 years, she would not agree with the set that Rosen said, "Why don't female bodyguards have the right to wear beautiful clothes?" ", she tied her hair up and tied it behind her head, and pulled the hem of her clothes.

Forget it, at least Rosen didn't ask her to wear an A-line skirt to match the suit, and the current suit that emphasizes the curves of her body is nothing.

downstairs.

Charlie supported his head and got up from the sofa drowsily, and saw his uncle Rosen sitting diagonally across from him, looking at something with a mobile phone in his hand. "Oh, uncle!"

"What did you see just now?" Rosen raised his eyes and asked.

"What?" Charlie's head was still a little confused, and he didn't understand what he meant for the time being, so he looked at him in confusion, "What did I see... ah!" He jumped up suddenly, and said nervously, "Uncle, I... I I saw a monster so big..." As he spoke, he gesticulated in the air with his hands indiscriminately, "It's really terrifying, the one that climbed up from the lake, could it be the Water Ness Monster?"

Rosen stared at Charlie for a few seconds, then said calmly, "Did you see the Ness Monster? A Ness Monster as big as a human?"

"Oh, no, no, no, it's not Nessie! Maybe it's... ah, maybe it's a water monster?" Charlie rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said.

"Is there any difference between the water monster and the Ness monster?" Rosen looked at him a little funny, "Besides, it's as big as a human, why don't you think it's human?"

"Oh, God! How could it be a human?" Charlie looked at Rosen incredulously, "You know what? That monster is covered in water plants all over its body, and it's black, although it looks a bit like Man, I'm pretty sure it's not!"

"Really?" Rosen laughed.

Charlie looked at Rosen and said angrily, "You don't believe it at all, do you?"

"Oh, you have to understand, child, I really want to believe you! But..." Rosen shrugged and didn't continue.

Charlie looked at him dejectedly, and said, "That's really a monster! It didn't walk like a man, it jumped, jumped out of the water onto a tree, jumped down from the tree, and jumped right in front of me." ..." He made a gesture and grabbed his neck, "He just jumped over and grabbed me..."

"Then you fainted from fright!" Rosen said with affirmative tone.

"No, of course not!" Charlie blushed when he heard this, and he said uncomfortably, "Of course I wasn't frightened, I did it to confuse that monster, just like meeting a bear in the wild, you can't run away Struggling, the best way is to pretend to be dead, isn't it?"

"That's right." Lilith's voice sounded behind Charlie, "But..."

Charlie turned to see her approaching, "But what?"

"However, judging from the traces at the scene, it should be a human being." Lilith stared at Charlie, "If I'm not wrong, based on the footprints left on the grass, it can be deduced that it was a man about six feet tall. , an adult male weighing no more than 140 pounds."

Charlie looked at Lilith in surprise, and asked, "You, how do you know such details? How did you find out your height and weight?"

Lilith didn't answer, and turned to Rosen and said seriously: "I don't know the purpose of the other party's visit at the moment. Just in case, I suggest that you better invite five to ten security personnel to conduct 24-hour patrol."

"It's fine if I have you?" Rosen frowned slightly, not quite understanding why Lilith suggested that he increase the security force.

"The other party may be coming for you. Although I can handle it alone, the safest way is to establish a patrol circle around the villa." Lilith explained patiently.

Rosen thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." After speaking, he picked up his cell phone and started making calls.

Seeing that he had adopted her suggestion, Lilith stopped talking and stood there quietly, waiting for Rosen to go out.

Charlie thought for a long time and said, "Isn't that a monster?"

Lilith glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Charlie touched his neck, looked at her depressed, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not a monster, but I saw that it really looks like a monster!"

"Okay." Rosen ended the call, looked at Lilith and said, "I've made arrangements, and we can all be in place this afternoon."

Lilith nodded and remained silent.

"However..." Rosen pondered for a moment, hesitatingly said: "If that person came after me, we can actually move away temporarily... I have several apartments in the city, and I can move in at any time. Wouldn't that be better?" convenient."

The corner of Lilith's mouth twitched, and she said, "Since it's coming for you, it means that you have what he wants here. No matter where you go, the other party will follow you."

"I can't think of anything that other people want here. In fact, I never keep any important company documents or confidential things at home." Rosen said doubtfully, "So, what does that person want?" What about things?"

Lilith looked at him with a half-smile, and after a long time, she slowly said: "Then only your life, Mr. Nemo."

Rosen was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he asked in shock, "My life?? Who is it! Who wants to do this!"

Charlie also looked at Lilith in shock, "What? How is this possible? Uncle is very popular in New York. I can guarantee that he is very popular!"

Lilith looked at the uncle and nephew, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Being popular, does being popular mean you won't be hunted down?"

Rosen frowned, thought for a while, couldn't help but nodded, and said, "You're right, it doesn't mean that no one hates me or wants to kill me!"

"Uncle, I don't think this idea is right!" Charlie protested, "Doesn't a popular person prove that everyone likes him? If you are popular, doesn't it mean that you don't have any deep hatred? If there is no deep hatred, why come to kill him?" And you?"

Rosen obviously didn't think so, he looked at Charlie seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Charlie, there is no rule in this world, if there is no deep hatred, you can't or can't kill people, I'm between the shopping malls and the political circle , the intersection of various interests will inevitably arouse the resentment of others when you don't know it, and you will understand this when you enter the group."

Charlie was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lilith, who stared at Rosen and said, "In short, moving away is not the best way, stay here, strengthen security forces, and wait for the other party to show up, then you can Know exactly what's going on."

Rosen looked back at Lilith, sighed for a while, and asked, "You will protect me, right?"

Lilith nodded.

Rosen touched the red and swollen mouth that had long been invisible, and sighed, "Then, just wait, we can only solve the problem if we know where the crux of the problem is, right?"

Lilith watched Rosen's mood calm down quickly, raised her eyebrows in a little surprise, but immediately suppressed the surprise in her heart. After all, this man is in charge of one of the best group companies in the United States, and his basic qualities are already Should include, but not be limited to emotion management.
