If the statue is damaged, if it is placed in the Chinese tradition, the degree of severity is probably similar to picking up people's ancestral graves, so Luo Ke can really understand Xiao Si's feelings.

But when it comes to Hopkins, Roque really can't let Xiao Si retaliate, Bright Hopkins is indeed not worthy of sympathy, but at this time Roque has to be safe, if Bright Hopkins is retaliated against by Xiao Si, it will definitely affect the relationship between Xiao Si and Henry, and then affect the relationship between Xiao Si and Roque, and then zoom in to Nyasaland and Rhodesia.

This is not a fuss, but an inference based on Roque's knowledge of Xiao Si.

"Locke, I'm not kidding, and I won't embarrass you." Xiao Si was very calm and didn't want Roque to be involved.

"Listen to Cecil, I promise, as long as you don't kill Bright Hopkins, you don't have anything to ask for." Roque set the bottom line, Hopkins is such a son, otherwise he would not have raised such a high-flying and domineering son.

"What can Marshal Hopkins give me—" Xiao Si was indifferent, he really had no desires.

In terms of money, Xiao Si or Roque can't say who is rich, but Xiao Si is definitely richer than Hopkins, and Xiao Si can't look down on Hopkins' net worth.

In terms of status, although Hopkins is a marshal and defense minister of southern Africa, Xiao Si owns the whole of Rhodesia and has a say in the Southern African Congress, which is higher than Hopkins.

If you have to emphasize Hopkins' advantage, I am afraid that Hopkins married his daughter to Henry, so he is related to the Matilda family, and the Matilda family will not give up Hopkins regardless of this, except for this, Hopkins really has no advantage in Xiaosi.

"Cecil, it's not Marshal Hopkins who can give you anything, if you let Brett Hopkins go, Henry and I both owe you once." Roque made a condition, which has nothing to do with money and power, and starts directly from feelings.

It should be said that Roque's promise still carries a lot of weight, "I owe you once" is not how much I owe Xiao Si, but how much I owe Xiao Si a favor, which will be repaid at the right time.

If Xiao Si agrees to this condition, it means that if Xiao Si asks Roque and Henry for something in the future, as long as Roque and Henry can do it, they must go all out to do it, and they must not shirk.

Roque has only owed Louis Botha a favor when he besieged the Albert Simpson brothers, and this is the second time.

Xiao Si did not immediately agree to Roque's request, and was half-lying on the back of the chair and was silent.

Roque was not in a hurry, he went to the wine cabinet by the wall and took out a glass of wine and poured wine, one for each person.

"Locke, you're a vengeful man." It can be seen that Roque has a great influence on Xiao Si.

"Yes, I have never believed in repaying grievances with virtue, and it is the standard I believe in to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and we Chinese have a saying that 'it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', not to mention that it may not take ten years." Roque is not in a hurry, it is said that Brett Hopkins is seriously injured, and if the rescue fails, then everything will be fine.

Speaking of which, Roque also ignored this aspect of the problem, at this time, the car had just appeared, the world had not yet realized the possible harm caused by the car, and Nyasaland did not have the corresponding traffic rules, so Bright Hopkins drove after drinking and no one cared, which led to the accident.

After this incident, regardless of whether Brett Hopkins is dead or not, Roque will ask the Nyasalstate government to set traffic rules that strictly prohibit drunk driving.

Of course, no traffic rules do not mean that car accidents are frequent, drunk driving is actually rare, now after all, cars have not yet been popularized, families who can use cars are either rich or expensive, such families are generally drivers, car owners rarely have the opportunity to drive in person.

"I'm sorry Locke - I can't." Xiao Si will not dispel his hatred because of Roque's three or two words, and if this matter is replaced by Roque, Roque will not give up easily.

"Well, even if you want to retaliate, you don't have to just take a gun and kill Bright Hopkins." Roque in a different way.

Xiao Si hasn't rounded the corner yet.

"Think about it, if you forgive Bright-Hopkins generously now, then whatever happens to Bright-Hopkins in the future will have nothing to do with you, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes." Roque's only purpose is to prevent Xiao Si and Hopkins from having a direct conflict, and as for the future, as long as Xiao Si and Hopkins leave Nyasaland, they don't care if they play a dog brain.

"It's amazing, you think I'm going to take a gun and kill that guy?" Xiao Si looked at Roque with a surprised look.

"That's good, let's go, for the sake of reason and reason, we should all visit the injured." Roque finally let go, as long as Xiao Si hadn't lost his mind.

"I'm not that stupid, I treat you as a friend, that's why I don't lie to you." Xiao Si finally understood his image in Roque's heart, and looked at Roque with a rather unkind gaze.

"Well, I'm stupid." Roque coped casually and went out to get into the car with Xiao Si.

Brett Hopkins is now at the Army Hospital in Little Rock, the largest, best-equipped, and most skilled hospital in Nyasaland, with doctors from Johannesburg, not only Western medicine, but also many Chinese medicine talents that Roque collected from the Qing Dynasty.

When Roque and Smalls arrived at the hospital, Brett Hopkins was still in the operating room, and Hopkins was waiting anxiously outside the operating room door.

Seeing Roque and Xiao Si coming, Hopkins cheered up and took the initiative to hug Xiao Si and apologize: "I'm sorry Cecil, I will try my best to make up for the loss caused by Bright." ”

The wrinkles on Hopkins' face seemed to be deeper, and his beard and hair, which had been meticulously combed, now looked a little messy, especially his hair, which had been vigorously torn apart.

"It's not your fault, Marshal Hopkins, is Bright okay now?" Xiao Si must be reasonable at this time, and he has a lot of work on the surface.

"Still operating, the condition is very serious, multiple fractures all over the body, internal organs suspected bleeding, when Bright was thrown out of the car, fortunately smashed on the patrol officer's horse, otherwise it is estimated that he would have died on the spot." Hopkins' expression was painful, if Bright Hopkins had three longs and two shorts, that is, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, how miserable was it.

"God bless him—" Xiao Si looked at the door of the operating room with an anxious look in his eyes.

"Locke, how long will it take for Professor Abu to come over?" Hopkins definitely can't take care of Xiao Si now, how to compensate in the future is a matter for the future, and the main task now is to save people.

"Abu - Marshal, Professor Abu is good at research, not surgery, and the best expert in surgery is Louis, well, where is Louis?" Roque asked Executive Dean Spark Hansen.

"Director Louis is doing surgery—" Sparker Hansen said plainly.

Hopkins' son was injured, and he was definitely qualified to ask the best doctor to perform the surgery himself, and Hopkins was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he thought of Professor Abu.

In Southern Africa, Professor Abu is indeed the banner of the medical community, but he has a specialization in surgery, and Professor Abu's field is not in surgery, and even if he comes, he can't help.

Nyasaland's regulations in this regard are still relatively strict, such as the Executive Director Sparker Hansen, who is not as good as Louis in terms of technology, but has stronger management and coordination skills than Louis, so Spark Hansen can serve as the Executive Director, and Louis, who is more technical, is mainly responsible for surgery.

"Who is Louis? Is the surgeon in charge of the surgery Louis? "Hopkins has a lot of problems, and compared to Abu, Louis is not so famous, and it is normal for Hopkins not to know.

"Louis is our best surgeon and the chief of surgery at the Army Hospital, and the doctor who is now in charge of the surgery should be Louis." Roque explained in detail that his feelings were also very complicated, that is, he hoped that Bright Hopkins would succeed in his rescue, and he hoped that the rescue would fail.

A second-generation gentleman like Bright Hopkins doesn't feel distressed by how many Roques die.

But it's better not to die in Nyasaland, lest it give Hopkins an excuse to be angry.

"Where are the other wounded? Take me to see—" Roque finally remembered that there were others injured.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to go along—" Hopkins also immediately came to his senses, and at this point, even if he was worried about Bright Hopkins, he had to put it aside.

"Please here, Lord, there are a total of six injured people, two of whom are slightly injured and have been discharged after treatment, and the other four are seriously injured and need to be hospitalized, one of them has a comminuted fracture of the leg, and the operation is still in progress, and the operation of the others is basically successful." Spark Hansen is experienced in dealing with emergencies, and the Army Hospital is one of the few hospitals in Southern Africa with an emergency department.

The first emergency department in southern Africa was Ziwei Hospital, thanks to the obstetrics department of Ziwei Hospital, and those pregnant women who are about to give birth do not make appointments in advance, so the emergency department of Ziwei Hospital was born.

Relatively speaking, the emergency department of the army hospital is more powerful, and it has only been two hours since Bright Hopkins' accident, which is quite good to be able to do this.

"Mr. Dean, all of their medical expenses are covered by Brett Hopkins." Hopkins felt generous.

Sparker Hansen had a strange expression on his face, and looked at Roque to stop talking.

"Marshal, there are regulations on the part of Southern Africa, no matter what Bright's situation is, the medical expenses of these injured must be borne by Bright, and then Bright will give corresponding compensation, get the forgiveness of the injured, and then the criminal part." Roque took the initiative to explain that Nyasaland is not the Transvaal, nor London, and the legal provisions here are still very detailed, according to Nyasaland law, this time Bright Hopkins will have to peel off the skin if he does not die.
