Chapter 71 Request
Gently stroking the delicate notches on the inside of the bracelet, Zhang Cheng suddenly asked, "What is this?
"Haha, don't ask me, I'm just a little guy who delivers things. But I personally think it's more like compensation than a reward. After all, demons are notoriously difficult to deal with, and if it weren't for your presence, the Witch wouldn't know who her enemies were. Ralph took down the whiskey he had just ordered, cracked his mouth and laughed in compliments.
"Really?" Zhang Cheng obviously didn't believe the other party's excuses.
Although he didn't quite know why Catherine was so generous, one thing was certain, and that was that the purpose was certainly not simply to make amends.
Ralph smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't embarrass me, anyway, don't take the benefits in vain." In addition, thanks to you, our team also received a payment of two million dollars this time, and we will not have to run for a living for a long time. ”
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask for any useful information, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up and made a posture of leaving.
After all, today was another day of inquiring about news and fighting, and it took until more than two o'clock in the morning, and his spirit was already very tired, and he was eager to return to his residence to sleep well.
But before she could enter the passage, Gracie quickly chased after her, and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Wu ...... I don't have a place to live now, so I wonder if I can stay at your house for a few nights?"
"Don't have a place to live?" Zhang Cheng stopped, turned his head to look at the girl behind him.
Dressed in an ordinary cheap white T-shirt, a pair of denim shorts that are washed to fading, a pair of white socks and sneakers under his feet, long golden hair is messily draped over his shoulders, due to the long-term lack of maintenance, the ends of the hair are obviously some withered yellow and split ends, coupled with a haggard face and dark circles, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a child of a rich family.
"Yes, since my sister was killed, I gave up my job, quit my apartment, and used my savings to buy a gun to avenge her. Now, I don't even have a penny on me, and it's impossible to find a place to live. With that, Gracie pulled out her empty pocket with a helpless expression.
"What about your parents?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
The girl smiled self-deprecatingly and replied, "I'm sorry, my sister and I didn't see our parents, and my uncle raised us." But at the age of sixteen, he died of lung cancer, his wife, who had been missing for ten years, suddenly appeared and took the only inheritance, the house, and we were driven out into the streets, leaving us to do odd jobs to support ourselves. Don't worry, I'll be able to find a job and move out soon, and it won't bother you for long. ”
Zhang Cheng stood in place and hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded reluctantly: "You can stay with me for a while, but there are a few things that must be paid attention to." First, I was not allowed in the basement and my bedroom. Second, you are not allowed to tamper with any furnishings in the house without my permission. Third, be quiet and don't shout at whatever you see. ”
"No problem! I swear I won't cause you any trouble. Gracie gave assurances without thinking.
After all, for her, who is destitute, it is already quite good to have a place to live, and she is not qualified to ask for too much.
In addition, she has a hidden purpose, which is to stay with the mysterious wizard in front of her as much as possible, so that the demon cannot easily kill her.
Zhang Cheng was not a fool, and it was easy to see through the girl's intentions, but he didn't say anything and went straight back to the parking lot behind the restaurant.
When the two of them came to the chic sports car, Gracie's eyes instantly burst into a hot light, and while staring at the streamlined body, she muttered to herself: "Oh oh my God! Saleen S7! 7-liter V8 engine, 750 horsepower, luxury interior, 550,000 dollars! I can't believe I was lucky enough to see it with my own eyes!"
"Oh, is this car rare?" Zhang Cheng showed a puzzled expression.
He has no interest in cars, and he doesn't know anything about a means of transportation, so there's nothing to fuss about.
"Of course, of course it's rare! It looks to fans like the smile of the Mona Lisa in the eyes of a painter and the Venus of a sculptor's broken arm. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and its top speed can reach 325 km/h, making it considered the fastest sports car in the world to date. Didn't you know these things when you bought a car?" Gracie reported the detailed parameters of the sports car.
You don't have to ask to know that she is an authentic car fan.
Zhang Cheng spread his hands with a nonchalant expression: "No! In my opinion, it is not much different from the other two cars in the garage except for the different shapes." Okay, stop talking nonsense, get in the car. ”
“OK!”
Gracie noticed that the man in front of him really didn't seem to care about these two famous sports cars at all, and immediately wisely closed his mouth and took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.
With the sound of the engine running at high speed, the car quickly drove out of the parking lot and along the road, entering the villa after only ten minutes.
Zhang Cheng, who was exhausted, pushed open the door casually, pointed to the room on the right side of the second floor and introduced: "The three rooms here are all guest rooms, each with a toilet and bathroom, you can choose as your own bedroom." Also, the fridge downstairs has juice, milk, bread, ham, sausages and other fast food, and there is a 24-hour ordering phone on the table if you are hungry to solve it yourself. ”
After saying that, he didn't care whether the other party remembered it or not, and directly pushed open the first room on the left side of the first floor and slammed the door shut.
"Hey, wait, I didn't change my clothes, can I borrow yours to wear first?" asked Gracie aloud through the door.
"Whatever!"
Zhang Cheng also responded through the door.
Anyway, the clothes are not his, but the original owner of the house, and he only needs to leave a few changes to wash.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, ran to one of the guest rooms in three or two steps, quickly stripped off her clothes without saying a word, went into the bathroom to wash the dirt on her body, and began to sobble quietly as she washed.
After wandering on the street for more than a week, she was already physically and mentally exhausted, and now she thought of her sister who died tragically, and sadness instantly came to her heart.
In this way, a man and a woman in the villa quickly fell asleep groggy, without noticing that less than twenty meters away from the villa, an owl stood on a branch, staring directly at the villa, and after a while it flapped its wings and flew into the air......
