Chapter 45 It’s not easy to see you

Charles was escorted home surrounded by neighbors.

Teddy instantly became a hero because of this incident. He was praised by the neighbors, and the beautiful Lady Chatham hugged his fat face and kissed him.

Charles was a little jealous when he saw Teddy's intoxicated expression. This was unfair. Wasn't he the one who was frightened and wanted to be kidnapped? He is the one who needs comfort more!

As soon as he got home, Djoka rushed back in a hurry after receiving the news.

Camille pushed Djoka angrily. She blamed him for Charles's "distress". She believed that this would not have happened if Charles had not been allowed to come back alone.

Charles felt that nothing would change even if Djoka was here. They had guns, both of them, so what could Djoka do?

However, Ciel vaguely felt that this was probably a misunderstanding.

If these were killers sent by capitalists or other people to harm him, they would not be so obvious. They wore custom-made suits and high-quality ties, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not cheap. These were not cheap in Darwaz, which was not wealthy. The town stands out.

What's more, after they confirmed Charles's identity, they could have shot and killed Charles and then jumped into the car and fled. Putting Charles into the car was simply unnecessary.

If they are unscrupulous kidnappers looking for ransom, they should wear sunglasses and raise the collar of their coat to avoid being recognized by others.

But they didn't.

It was getting dark. Because he was frightened after a busy day, Charles did not plan to go to the factory again in the evening, and Camille did not allow him to go. He ate some bread to fill his stomach, took a shower, changed into pajamas, and hurriedly hid in bed. .

Perhaps due to the secretion of adrenaline hormones, Charles, who had been extremely sleepy not long ago, was now unusually awake, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Djoka and Camille sat at the dining table worriedly. They had always been worried about this matter, but they just didn't show it in front of Charles.

"They may come again!" Camille said with inexplicable fear in her eyes: "And we don't even know who they are!"

"Don't worry, Camille!" Djorka comforted: "I will never leave Charles' side from now on, I swear!"

Although Camille nodded, her hanging heart couldn't let go at all.

Those people are hiding in the dark, and they will always find opportunities to do harm to Ciel, unless Ciel never goes out.

At this time, there were faint sounds of dog barking outside the house, a few car lights flashed by, the sound of motors came from far away, and a car drove up in the darkness and parked outside the door.

The atmosphere became tense instantly. Djoka made a silence gesture to Camille. He walked to the window warily and peeked out.

When he saw several black figures getting out of the car and walking towards this side, he turned around decisively and took down the double-barreled shotgun from the wall, opened the drawer and dug out the bullets.

While he was reloading hurriedly, he ordered Camille in an unmistakable voice: "Go upstairs and keep an eye on Charles!"

The frightened Camille lost all color in an instant. She covered her mouth and tried not to scream. She stumbled and ran down the stairs, only to find Charles appearing at the other end.

"Father!" Charles was very calm. He tried to stop Djoka from overreacting: "Maybe they are not bad people, otherwise it would be impossible for only three people to break into the town!"

Djoka was stunned. He felt that Charles might be right.

It had just happened that the neighbors came to help in the afternoon. If these three people were looking for trouble, they were looking for death.

However, Dejoka still did not let down his guard. He grabbed the gun and leaned against the door frame, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing?"

None of the three people answered. One of them stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Dejoca, General Galieni wants to talk to Charles!"

Djoka's eyes widened instantly. He couldn't believe what he heard, General Galieni? He wants to see Ciel?

Djoka turned around and looked out through the crack in the door with hesitation. Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly under the dim light, the old man holding a cane in the middle had an extraordinary bearing. Djoka couldn't help but believe it a few more times. point.

After hesitating for a while, Dejoka unlocked the door and carefully opened a crack in the door. When the light passed over the old man's face, Dejoka finally saw it clearly. He opened the door with an exclamation:

"General Gallieni, it's really you! It's... such an honor!"

"Sorry, General, please come in!"

General Gallieni did not move. He glanced at the shotgun in Djoka's hand in confusion.

Djoka suddenly woke up, quickly unloaded the bullet, put the shotgun on the table, and explained: "Sorry, general, we thought you were..."

"A bad guy?" General Gallieni raised his eyebrows: "My guards have learned the lesson this afternoon!"

Djoka instantly understood that the "kidnapping incident" was a misunderstanding. Then he looked at the two people following Gallieni. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen and they looked embarrassed. They were obviously the two "suspects" who had been beaten out.

Camille was protecting Charles upstairs. She didn't hear clearly what was said below, and even thought that Djoka was coerced by the other party to put down the gun. She was so frightened that she pulled Charles to hide.

"That's General Galieni, mother!" Charles comforted Camille: "It's okay, this was a misunderstanding!"

Charles had seen Gallieni's picture in the newspaper and recognized him immediately, even though he was dressed in casual clothes.

"Gallieni? No, how could Galieni..."

At this moment Gallieni walked into the room, he took off his hat under the light and handed it to the person next to him. Camille recognized him immediately and couldn't help but exclaimed: "God, it's really him, General Gallieni!" He...how could he..."

General Gallieni glanced upstairs and politely nodded to Camille and Charles: "I'm very sorry, Madame Bernard and Charles, I hope what happened this afternoon didn't scare you. My men are not very good at dealing with such things!"

This sudden turn of events made Camille at a loss, or she couldn't believe that a big man like Gallieni would suddenly appear in front of her. She was in a daze until Charles pulled her clothes and suddenly woke up.

"No, General, of course... no!" She was so nervous that she spoke incoherently: "This... is our honor, we are very good!"

Charles shrugged his shoulders. She almost jumped out of the window and ran away.

"You are Charles, right?" Gallieni locked his eyes on Charles, and asked in a steady tone: "Can I talk to you?"

"Of course, General!" Charles walked downstairs.

At this time, a neighbor called out from outside: "Is everything okay, Mr. Deyoka?"

Obviously, the neighbors also noticed the movement here. They were worried that the visitor was a bad guy, so they asked out loud. They even prepared shotguns and loaded bullets like Deyoka, and there were more than one family.

"Everything is fine!" Deyoka hurriedly leaned out of the window to respond, and after a slight hesitation, he added: "It's a customer, Daniel, they are here to discuss business!"

The neighbor was relieved: "If there is anything, just shout, Deyoka, we are always here!"

"Okay!" Deyoka expressed his gratitude.

Galiene raised his eyebrows helplessly, and smiled self-deprecatingly at Charles who was going downstairs: "It's not easy to see you, Charles, I'm risking my life!"
