Chapter 613 Conquest(2/2)
The two of them spoke Chinese, and Helen couldn't understand it. The curiosity she developed as a reporter prompted her to ask: "Tom, Jack, what are you talking about? What's the best thing about this stone?"
Dong Biao changed back to English and responded: "It's a long story. Helen. The one in Tom's hand is not an ordinary stone. It is the seal used by the emperor on our side. It represents supreme power and is also the core of this opium case. For the story, you can ask Tom and let him tell you that it will be better for three days and three nights!"
People like Dong Biao who can feel unreasonable will not give up the opportunity to make fun of Helen. When he talked about the three days and three nights, he deliberately aggravated the words of Sanye and showed a strange smile.
As expected, Helen put on the trap, and her cheeks flushed again.
Cao Bin also changed to English and said, "The piece of wood you just found should be a wooden box containing the jade seal, so it is different from those wooden boxes. Geng Han hid the jade seal in this batch of opium, and it also had a momentum of burning the boat. However, he was a little cautious. In order to prevent the jade seal from being stolen, he installed explosives in advance. If he took the jade seal away inadvertently, it would trigger explosives."
Dong Biao replied: "The explosion that happened just now must have been done by Geng Han... The test is indeed not simple. Everyone is dead and can still hurt so many people. It is really shocking and so many ghosts!"
Helen couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Geng Han? Who is Geng Han? Is he the owner of these opium?"
Dong Biao nodded seriously with his lips tilted, saying, "Geng Han is the one who hides this batch of opium here, but he is not the real owner of this batch of opium. Regarding Geng Han's story, you should ask Tom, he can tell you all night!"
With the same routine, Helen was hit twice in a row, and this time, the blush on her cheeks became even more intense.
Cao Bin seemed to have not noticed these details. He was still immersed in his own thinking, staring at the broken jade seal in his hand, and murmured to himself: "No matter what, we finally got this jade seal. Although it was damaged, we can also give an explanation to Mr. Sun. Although we don't believe in the remarks of the dragon vein of the country, we also hope that the Qing Dynasty can die as soon as possible with the damage of this jade seal."
Dong Biao smiled and said, "Brother Bin, what are you talking about there? Helen reporter is still waiting for you to tell her a story!"
As if he hadn't heard Dong Biao's words, Cao Bin stood up and explained loudly to the people around him: "Don't panic. The reason for the explosion has been found out. The owner of this group of opium hid a treasure in one of the boxes. In order to prevent being stolen, explosives were placed next to the treasure. This is just an accidental event and will not happen again. I hope you will spread what I said. In addition, I will bear all the medical expenses for those injured in this explosion."
The explosion did not scare people at first. With Cao Bin's words, people were even more confident. The team carrying goods became busy again. The brothers at the entrance also increased their vigilance and isolated enough distance between the fire and the crowd.
The passion of the people's participation is not only reflected in the transportation of goods, but also many female and older people cannot carry heavy wooden boxes, so they return to the city, buy a large number of drinks, fruits and other foods, and deliver them to every person involved in the transportation.
As night fell, the last wooden box was transported out of the alleyway and threw it into the fire.
The total time was more than an hour earlier than Cao Bin's expectations.
Helen was always by Cao Bin's side. Dong Biao intended to create a good opportunity for them to be alone, but when he left, Cao Bin would intentionally or unintentionally find something to do. Only when he was with the two of them could the two of them have the opportunity to say a few words.
All the goods were transported out and thrown into the fire. The brothers at the entrance of the hall in the alley conducted a detailed inspection and confirmed that there was no more omission in the alley. So they placed the explosives and fuses to the entrance of the alley. The onlookers saw that the opium had been cleared, and dozens of fires gradually became weak due to the lack of burning objects. People were forced to stop their passion for participation, disperse one after another, and return to the city.
Dong Biao sent a solemn invitation to Helen Powell: "Miss Helen, my Anliangtang will hold a banquet to celebrate tonight. I solemnly invite you to attend now, and I hope you can enjoy the glory."
Helen did not directly answer Dong Biao, but looked at Cao Bin.
However, Cao Bin pretended not to notice Helen's eyes, and turned to scold the brothers in the hall and said, "You are really stupid, there are only a few wooden boxes. I wonder if they will burn faster if they split them?"
If this situation is to come to a Chinese woman, it may even be a blow to it, and it may even feel embarrassed. However, Helen is an absolute Western woman, and some of her harshness. She came directly to Cao Bin, stared at Cao Bin, and asked loudly: "Tom, Jack said that you Anliangtang will hold a banquet to celebrate tonight. Why don't you invite me?"
Cao Bin had no choice but to answer: "Helen, you don't know anything. Jack has always been responsible for the affairs of the hall life. He wants to hold a banquet to celebrate, but I didn't know about it in advance."
Helen smiled slightly, shrugged her shoulders, and tilted her head and said, "But now you know."
Cao Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Helen, I will also send you an invitation, hoping that you can celebrate the joy of success with us."
Helen smiled and said, "This is the etiquette between friends. Tom, aren't we friends?"
Cao Bin nodded and replied: "Of course, we are friends of course."
Dong Biao, who was standing aside, looked at him and just wanted to laugh. Helen was obviously moved by Cao Bin, but pretended to be calm. Cao Bin, who clearly felt the problem, insisted on pretending to be dull and indifferent. It would be fine if this kind of thing was placed on the boy and girl, but the two of them were over 70 years old together, but they were still so arrogant and artificial, which was too inconsistent.
Dong Biao was thinking about how to help them break the window paper, especially for Cao Bin, who is 42 or 3 years old, there is no need to spend a lot of love like a young man, and he is willing to give up. If he likes him, he nods and chooses a good day to get things done first. If he doesn't like him, he shook his head and just thinks he is an ordinary friend and try to meet as little as possible in the future to avoid embarrassment.
But at this moment, a group of brothers in the hall surrounded him and loudly asked Dong Biao to bleed tonight and to take out the best wine in the hall to entertain the brothers.
It’s also a blessing that Dong Biao didn’t have time to talk too much, otherwise, Cao Bin would be really hard to deal with.
Since Helen reported that Luo Lie killed the train robbers with flying knives, Cao Bin and Helen have had several dealings. But at that time, Helen only left Cao Bin with a relatively difficult reporter, so he didn't have much substantial feelings for Helen. But this time it was obvious. In the reception room of Kingsoft Post, when Helen appeared in front of Cao Bin, his expression was clearly the manifestation of a passionate follower when he saw his idol worship.
Everyone has different degrees of vanity. Cao Bin still cannot completely get rid of vanity when he got into this position. Therefore, when he came into contact with Helen's admirational look, at that moment, he also had a good impression of Helen. After that, Cao Bin saw every loss of compassion in Helen. Although he had not thought about the relationship between men and women for twenty years, this was a human instinct after all. Even if he was abandoned for ten years or twenty years, this instinct would not disappear. Therefore, Cao Bin, who noticed the details of Helen's loss of compassion, naturally knew Helen's thoughts.
However, if he wants to fall in love with a Western woman, his psychological obstacles will be difficult to overcome for a while.
If Dong Biao really broke the window paper at this time, Cao Bin would definitely say "No", but when he said "No", he would feel a strong sense of unbearance in his heart.
