Chapter 345 A Group Play Targeting One Person

After listening to what producer Morris said about his new movie, which was about the murder of a nobleman, Li Changheng quickly glanced at everyone present.

I found that most people didn't care about it, and continued to eat, drink, talk and laugh.

The hairs on Li Changheng's back stood up.

An icy chill rushed straight to the sky.

I wondered in my heart that among the people present, except for myself, everyone else was looking forward to John Gosford's death, right?

It takes a lot of failures to be like this?

Then I heard Sylvia flattering that old man Mountbatten non-stop.

It is said that he is the most heroic and skilled fighter of the noble race, and he is also the one who truly dares to face and has experienced the test of life and death.

He also said that he was of noble birth, a real born nobleman.

Then he complained that in the eyes of old Gosford, only his thoroughbred horses, hounds, hunting and money were the only ones, and his mistress had no right to know anything.

After Li Changheng listened, he glanced at old Gosford from the corner of his eye, and saw a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

My wife has an affair with someone else, not only flattering his concubine in public, but also accusing him in public, this is simply a public slap in the face.

Later, what surprised Li Changheng even more was that the English actress named Mabel was also a courtesan who had in-depth exchanges with Jeffrey and Fred.

He actually stretched out his hand to hold Old Gosford's hand, then looked at Sylvia and said, "Your words are too unfair, isn't the life of a nobleman just hunting, horses, hounds and money?"

"shut up."

Old Gosford looked at Mabel in disbelief, seeing the woman's terrified expression.

The old man's eyes were full of puzzlement and regret, and he shook off Mabel's hand.

Grabbing the napkin on his lap, he stood up in a panic, then threw the napkin on his dinner plate, and left the restaurant in a hurry.

He will behave like this.

One is that no matter how much she doesn't like Sylvia, it can't change the reality that the countess' status in this family is no lower than her own.

Even in a place like a restaurant, Sylvia should be respected more than him because of her status as a woman.

Now a woman who is only a dew, and not yet a noble courtesan.

He actually slapped the mistress in the face in front of the prince, the duke, a group of nobles, and the mistress' aunt, sister and other family members.

This was not only a slap in the face of Sylvia, but also a slap in the face of Earl Gosford and the Gosford family.

Even if the nobles were down and out, many would rather borrow money to save face.

You can see how much they value family honor and personal reputation.

The master left, and the guests all looked at the Countess Silvia.

I saw her holding a knife and fork with a smile, cutting off a piece of fish and putting it in her mouth.

Everyone continued to eat with different expressions.

After Li Changheng glanced at Sylvia, seeing that she really didn't care, he couldn't help but look at Isabel Gosford again.

I saw that although she looked shocked, she didn't show much anger or dissatisfaction.

Well, the family's feelings are really indifferent.

As for the guests, they chatted and laughed again without paying attention for a moment.

As for the troublemaker Mabel, she didn't feel any embarrassment at all. She turned her head and started joking with Ivor Nowell, who was also a star sitting on her left.

Li Changheng suddenly wondered why this woman could sit on the left of old Gosford.

According to the tradition of the nobility, the main seat and the second seat of the long table are on both sides of the long table, that is, the place where only one person can sit facing the restaurant door, and the place with its back facing the restaurant door are the positions of the master and hostess.

There is also a more formal one, which is also used to receive guests with a higher status than the host.

It is to use the most middle position with the back against the fireplace as the main position.

Just like when Andrew came today, normally, the old Gosford sat in the middle with his back against the fireplace, and Andrew sat in the middle opposite him.

This way of sitting, even if Philip came, he would have no objection.

But probably old Gosford felt that he was Andrew's uncle, or maybe he wanted to show that he was superior.

In short, according to his past habits, he just didn't sit face to face with Andrew.

Then Andrew sat by the fireplace. Although Mountbatten had the title of duke, his real title was a hereditary earl.

Sitting behind the two marquises Perelin and Iter also made sense.

Of course, he wanted to be by Andrew's side, Perelin and Iter would not, and dared not have any objections.

Then there were three more women between Andrew, Perelin, and Etta, so that Mountbatten sat next to Sylvia.

Li Changheng looked at this kind of seating, and it was impossible not to think about it.

There is always a kind of how to sit, which is deliberately arranged by others.

Besides old Gosford, only Sylvia could have such rights and abilities.

At this moment, Li Changheng was really sure that some people really wanted old Gosford to die.

The only key to saving him is whether the old man really grew special tobacco on his land.

If there is, then it is also certain that he has planted it with other nobles.

Because Li Changheng quickly remembered that Andrew said last year that he was dating an earl's daughter named Talia Crawford.

The purpose is not only to see that girl is beautiful, but also to know why the Crawford family suddenly became rich.

The same earl, who also lived on the land, suddenly became rich.

If this was just an example, Li Changheng wouldn't feel too suspicious.

But if there are two identical examples, there is a problem.

Then Li Changheng suddenly thought, maybe it's not the old Gosford who controls everything, but the leader of the gray gang named Mickey is the one who really controls everything?

For a moment he decided to watch Lord Gosford go to God.

Killing a gray gang doesn't matter at all.

If Lorraine is allowed to do it, no one at Scotland Yard has the right to intervene.

But let Li Changheng kill a nobleman, who is still Anne's mother's cousin, then there will be more trouble.

As soon as the dinner was over, Li Changheng, Bell and others followed the large army back to the living room of the manor.

He picked up the phone and called Zhang Tianzhi, asking him to rush over with Tyson Franky.

Then, to the surprise of Bell and others, they didn't go to the separate bridge room, but sat on the small table in the reception room with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

Because Li Changheng knew that if he stayed here and did not disturb others, it was the safest place.

Of course, he also took the necessary precautions.

Wait for Zhang Tianzhi and Tyson French to come, plus Harry Teha, the ace agent, and Lorraine Theron, a female agent comparable to 007.

Without a whole commando team, it would be impossible to raid Li Changheng, Andrew and others.

If there were only a dozen members of the Gray Gang, it probably wouldn't be enough to kill Hart and Lorraine Theron.

Ask the butler Condra, who is standing by the wine table in the living room, to get the poker.

He wanted to stay here, and of course Bell and the others wouldn't leave either.

Plus Fred and Grosvenor happened to be four people, and started playing Texas Hold'em.

Not long after Harry Hart came in, Li Changheng smiled and stood up, leading him to the window.
