Chapter 214 The Cat Doesn’t Cry Over the Mouse
For a moment, Theodore could hardly maintain his smiling face, and his face showed a strong wavering expression.
Theodore's shock can be imagined. Not to mention that Mansfield was far away in France, Duan Chengfang was still young, and he was an acting president who was not legitimate, how could he use his little power to find out these things. Just talking about the explosiveness of the source of this news itself -
Was the Mansfield family infiltrated like a sieve? The eldest son of the family died, and Theodore actually first learned about it from the son of his partner!
Did the Mansfield family's ancestral tomb explode? Did the family go bankrupt? Did all of old Mansfield's dozen sons flee to China, where the security is good, to seek refuge?
Could it be that Duan Hongji's hand has already crossed the Mediterranean and reached the other end of this continent? Did Mansfield change his last name to Duan?
Theodore's eyes were alert, and his tone was dangerous: "How did you know that?"
Duan Chengfang was about to say it when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
wrong!
Theodore was not surprised by his eldest brother's death.
What surprised him was, "How did Duan Chengfang know about this?"
Duan Chengfang felt a slight chill in his heart and changed the subject, "I have already delivered the goods. The source of the channel is another price."
Although Theodore was alert, he still fulfilled his promise. Of course, this cunning man only fulfilled half of it - he only told what happened yesterday, but did not say why Duan Hongji left the night before.
Duan Chengfang: “…” What’s the difference between this and not saying anything?
Duan Chengfang had some experience in dealing with this slippery anthropomorphic creature: "Mr. Theodore, I don't think you've told the whole truth."
For some reason, Duan Chengfang was so sure that Theodore knew the whole story.
"Oh?" Theodore propped up his chin and smiled like a hypocritical cat crying over a mouse, obviously not intending to continue.
Duan Chengfang was speechless for a while. He was barely a respectable man, but he was still a little immature in dealing with Theodore.
"Okay, Mr. Theodore." Duan Chengfang had no choice but to surrender. "Open your phone, click on a random news app, and take a look at the front page headlines."
Theodore was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his cell phone from the bedside table with a strange look on his face.
When Theodore saw the photos of the shooting scene that filled the entire page of Tomato News, he said: "..."
Theodore stared at the screen over and over again. He could recognize the man in the news even if he turned into ashes - that was his elder brother!
Theodore's eldest brother, the most sought-after heir to the Mansfield family, was shot dead at the memorial service for old Mansfield.
Explosion. So explosive.
If he had known that the man would die so easily, why would Theodore flee to a foreign country? Why not just stay in his native land and wait for him to die?
After the extreme shock, there was the anger of being tricked.
Duan Chengfang, how dare you use the common news to frame him!
Theodore raised his head and squinted at Duan Chengfang: "How do you know I haven't seen the news yet?"
Duan Chengfang curled his lips and said, "When you left this morning, you were wearing pajamas with no pockets, and you didn't have a cell phone in your hand. Therefore, it should have been in the room the whole time."
Theodore lives on the second floor, and Duan Chengfang also lives on the second floor, so it is easy to observe him.
"You went to my father's bedroom in your pajamas and didn't come out half an hour later." When he said this, Duan Chengfang frowned slightly and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Duan Chengfang shook his head, shaking out some weird thoughts from his mind. It was all Duan Ye's fault, as he had led his thoughts astray.
"This news happened within that half hour." Duan Chengfang spread his hands, "Mr. Theodore, I only said that I would trade intelligence with you, but I didn't say that this was exclusive intelligence."
Theodore's mouth twitched.
As expected, he is Duan Hongji's son. Both father and son are equally slippery.
Thinking of Duan Hongji, Theodore's anger suddenly subsided a lot, and his tone was gentler when he spoke again: "Okay, Mr. Duan, you can't exchange things that are sold out on the street."
The great Mansfield family had not been infiltrated into a sieve, and the old rival boss had also blown out the candle and pulled out the wax. With double happiness coming, Theodore was in a good mood. Of course, this did not mean that he would let the young master in front of him go easily.
Theodore blinked and suddenly remembered a trick to make things difficult for others.
"How about this, Second Master Duan. I want to ask you about someone." Theodore said with a smile, "If you know her whereabouts, I will tell you everything I can."
Although he knew that there was a high probability that there was no hope, Duan Chengfang still pulled himself together and asked, "Who is it?"
Theodore's beautiful eyes rolled around, and he suddenly smiled: "Fu Dongshu, do you know him?"
Duan Chengfang: “…”
Theodore wanted to embarrass the young master and ask him to get out of here. After all, there are very few sons in the world who would know their father's affair partner. Unexpectedly, Duan Chengfang was silent for a moment, and did not deny it. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to do with her?"
Theodore: “.”
Theodore suddenly had a deeper understanding of the chaotic relationships among the people in the Duan family.

Zhao Ruoming was in bed recuperating, and she was so idle that she had grown hair. In fact, she had recovered a long time ago, but she felt a little depressed when she thought that once she recovered, she would be forced to face the Shura field of Jiang Huiyi, the crazy heroine, and Duan Ye, the roaring emperor hero, and continue to work hard.
There are always a few moments in a person's life when they feel a little depressed. They can't muster the energy to do anything, have no desire for anything in the world, feel that even if the earth explodes, it doesn't matter, and often feel a little bit like dying.
Zhao Ruoming is in this state at the moment.
After being depressed for two days, Zhao Ruoming turned on his mobile phone and received an unexpected message.
It was sent by Duan Chengfang.
Of course, it was not unusual for Duan Chengfang to send a message, as Duan Hongji often received it. What was unusual was that Duan Chengfang sent this message to Fu Dongshu.
That's very rare.
The two had not seen each other since their last drinking contest. Why were they suddenly contacting each other now?
Things happened one after another with Pu Lanzhi, Jiang Huiyi and Duan Ye. Zhao Ruoming no longer dared to trust anyone. Who knew if the male and female protagonists, male and female supporting roles would suddenly change and turn around to give Zhao Ruoming a thrilling love story of life and death.
Zhao Ruoming stared at the message that said "Do you have time? How about coming out to chat?" After reading it for a long time and racking his brains, he could only come up with four words: It's over, it's a disaster.
Considering Duan Chengfang's romantic nature, there could only be one reason for this news... Zhao Ruoming's scalp went numb when he thought of the possible reason, and he wanted to perform a set of military boxing in the air.
No way! No way! After Duan Lao San, Duan Lao Er also went astray?
Zhao Ruoming quickly brainwashed himself and drove this idea out of his mind.
An angel and a devil appeared in her mind. The angel softly said: Although Duan Lao Er is a playboy, he has never had any contact with any woman since he took over the Duan family. He is busy like a top all day long, how can he have time for love?
The devil kicked the angel away and laughed strangely: It’s because he hasn’t touched a woman for a long time, so he came to find Fu Dongshu!
Zhao Ruoming was startled and packed up the angel and the devil and threw them out together.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Zhao Ruoming typed a few words and accepted the invitation.
In order to prevent some embarrassing things from happening, Zhao Ruoming decided to meet in a teahouse. He hoped his second son would learn from his mistakes and keep healthy.
203 remotely monitored Duan Hongji's bedroom, and played a recording to warn anyone who wanted to come in. Zhao Ruoming changed his appearance and went to meet his second son solemnly.
Zhao Ruoming had made thousands of plans, from "punching Duan Cheng directly" to "persuading him earnestly", but who would have thought that after arriving at the agreed place, he would meet an unexpected person.
"Theodore?"
At this moment, only an ancient English sentence came to Zhao Ruoming's mind.
Why is it always you?
