Staying at his parents' house can greatly alleviate the unhappiness and boredom in Aldrich's heart, I don't know why, maybe just seeing Arthur's pot-bellied appearance, I feel very happy, this old guy is getting fatter and fatter, really like a meat ball, especially watching him show kindness and play with his grandson, life is a comedy.

Aldridge was hungry and ate without gobbling up, but he didn't eat slowly, and he deliberately paid attention to table manners when socializing, and didn't have to disguise or disguise anything at home.

Amelia looked happy, seeing that Aldrich's steak on the plate was about to be eaten, she immediately brought another plate, among the three sons, the other two sons often did not come home, and Barnett's deliberately blended into the upper class, creating an aristocratic temperament, Arthur and Amelia did not like it, only Aldrich was unpretentious, and his parents liked it.

Just after lunch, Aldrich sat on the sand in the living room with his two sons to watch cartoons.

Evan drove in, and she followed up with the police all morning at the police station, and the key stage of lost and found tracking is 24 hours after the crime, or even less, otherwise the clues will be more and more remote, and even if they are recovered, it is difficult to ensure that they are intact.

"Whew, there's no news over there."

Evan sat down and said his conclusions tiredly and dejectedly, and as for the details, telling them would only add to Aldrich's annoyance.

Aldrich took her hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't care, if you lose it, you lose it." ”

Evan turned her head, she was more troubled and depressed than Aldrich.

This afternoon. Aldrich didn't go anywhere. has been with his two sons. Watch cartoons, take a nap, and when they wake up, play soccer together on the grass in the back garden.

Some friends called to greet him, Aldrich had to deal with it again, and when it was time for dinner, Arthur called Aldrich out and was outside the house by the pool. Arthur lowered his face and whispered, "A few days ago, I received a call from a friend. ”

"Well, and then what?"

Aldrich thought something was wrong, and Arthur's expression made him think that this conversation would be very strict.

Arthur, however, smiled and said, "Old friend, Ritzdale called." ”

Aldrich suddenly realized that Arthur was pretending just now, maybe he was honing his acting skills.

"What does he want? Leeds United shouldn't have the money to bring in players, right? ”

"Hey, yes, he called to get Millwall accommodating."

"Accommodating what? What were the terms of the original contract? ”

"Hmm."

Aldrich cheered up. Rhetorical question: "How did you answer?" ”

Leeds United bought a player from Millwall, all with a 3o% revenue sharing clause for the next sale. Leeds United have sold around six players over the years, and those players are not too high, but they have also brought Millwall around 7oo0,000 secondary income, and now, Leeds United may sell heavyweights such as Rio Ferdinand.

Although Arthur is nominally the chairman and does not participate in the management of the team, if he makes promises to the presidents of other clubs, there is a problem of integrity, and others will not care how you distribute power and operate within Millwall, the chairman is the chairman, and the chairman's words must have a certain amount of credit.

Arthur shook his head, seemed happy, and said, "I told him the truth. ”

"Huh? Truth? You sue him and you don't care about that? ”

Aldrich thought about it, and this was a way of refusal.

Arthur shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not these, I sue him, I never liked him, I never liked Leeds United, Leeds United was so arrogant a few years ago, I remember what he said, he didn't even have a championship, he began to provoke Millwall, what kind of green onion is he?" I also told him, you were so majestic back then, did you think about it today? Hahaha, are Leeds United going bankrupt? Are you going to ruin miè? Thank you, for such a good news, I will open a bottle of good wine to celebrate, I will go to Leeds United tombstone to lay down a bouquet of flowers, congratulations, Ritzdale, Leeds United fans, you will be remembered by generations to come, great President! ”

Aldridge was dumbfounded, looking at Arthur, who was really enjoying Leeds United's ruin, and thought: This, this should be his true colors, right?

How can street hooligans make peace with you?

Who will lend a helping hand when you need it?

I'm sorry, but I'll only kick you in the face when you're prostrate at my feet and look up with a pleading look!

Aldrich was silent for a moment before saying, "He's just in a hurry." ”

"No, no, son, you don't have to defend him, you don't have to say nice things about him, I won't listen to this, I won't understand this, how many Leeds fans are there? Do you know? How many fans have loved Leeds United for generations? How many families' lives have been tied to Leeds United, the good of Leeds United, the bad of Leeds United, are affecting their lives, what Ritzdale has ruined is the hearts of countless fans! He can leave, he can forget about this qiē after a few years, but who will heal the pain in the hearts of the fans? What does the future hold for Leeds United? I don't know, but Andrew told me that if a club goes bankrupt and goes into liquidation, it could face death. If you want me to say, Ritzdale is a first-class war criminal of Leeds United! ”

At this point, Arthur looked very excited, and Aldrich understood the implications.

In fact, the "death" in Arthur's mouth does not mean that the club will disappear, complete bankruptcy is very rare in the football circle, almost impossible, because the football club is similar to a business, but it is not completely equivalent to the enterprise, behind the football club, there is a strong football league deposit, and after the liquidation and bankruptcy, there will be a new manager to intervene, on the one hand, it is to divide the debt, on the other hand, it is also to renovate the club to survive, whether the team can play the game, is what the football league says, this is the last fortress of the club in the football circle, External forces simply cannot be shaken.

But the "death" mentioned by Arthur belongs to the perspective of fans, just like Reims in France around 92. In fact, they are two very different teams. Post-bankruptcy reorganization. The new Reims has only inherited the name and honours of the former, and aside from that, the team has no connection to what it used to be.

If Aldridge had sold Millwall to Abu, in the minds of the vast majority of local Lions fans, Millwall would have been "dead", because a traditional English club had become the property of Russians.

It's like the feeling of a son-in-law with a foreign surname starting to be the master of the house. It is of epoch-making significance, but it is not a result that is acceptable to local fans, so as English clubs continue to be invaded by foreign capital, the struggle between fans and foreign bosses is becoming more and more intense.

What's more, once the team goes bankrupt, the turmoil of the club is unimaginable, and the team will be unrecognizable in a very short period of time, so to speak, "once back to the pre-liberation period", Arthur said inaccurately. This should not be "death", but "rebirth". But being born again does not mean that it is positive, the new life will have a new father, and the new road may be full of thorns and bumps.

After dinner, Aldrich was playing a video game with his son, and the butler suddenly came up to him and said, "Aldrich, someone has come to deliver you a courier." ”

Aldrich put down the gamepad and wondered, "Strange. ”

He followed the butler out the door, and saw a young man in casual clothes holding a cardboard box at the foot of two steps, he looked to be about 18 years old, he came by bicycle, the bicycle was lying on the ground next to him, he held the cardboard box and lowered his head, as if he did not dare to raise his head to look at Aldrich.

"My courier?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

Aldrich turned back to the butler and said, "Close the door." ”

By gate, he meant the gate in the outer courtyard, and the steward did so.

The young man who delivered the courier suddenly raised his head and said in a panic: "Sir, I still have something to do, please sign for the courier." ”

Aldrich walked down the steps and came to him, his hands now shaking as if they were shaking.

Aldrich asked, "Do you have any dangerous items on you?" For example, knives. ”

"No, no!"

"Then you don't have a gun, do you?"

"Of course not! Sir, please sign for the delivery. ”

The young man took a step back, lowered his head again, and held the cardboard box in his hand, as if he were offering treasure.

"Do you need me to pay for the courier?"

"No!"

"Oh, what's in this box?"

"I don't know."

"You know, if you don't answer within 1o seconds, I'll call the police."

The young man raised his head again in astonishment, and when he saw Aldrich with a cold expression in his eyes, he lowered his head again and said astringently: "Mr. Hall, I'm sorry, I didn't know that it was your home, and this is your belongings, you have to call the police, I won't resist, I can't return the cash and valuables, I can return it to you, only the contents of this box." ”

Aldrich said, "You still haven't answered my question. ”

"Inside are your medals, and there are no less than a few of them."

"What's your name?"

"Jamie, Jamie Brown."

"How old?"

"19 years old."

"Occupation?"

"I work in a restaurant."

"Londoners?"

"Hmm."

"Come with me over there and talk."

Aldrich pointed in the direction of the artificial fountain, and the young man followed Aldrich with a cardboard box and sat down on the stone steps beside the fountain.

Aldrich lit a cigarette and opened the cardboard box, which contained a large delicate box, which he reached out and gently opened, and the 2o medals were displayed in it, barely touched, except for the two in the first row.

Jamie was still nervous that Aldridge hadn't gone to the police, but he thought that since he was here, he thought that there would be a great risk of going to prison, so he mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Hall, why did you find out that I wasn't delivering a courier?" ”

Aldrich turned his head to look at him and said lightly: "First, I don't have a planned courier to receive." Second, you're not wearing overalls. Third, time. Fourth, you don't have a proper courier slip on your box. Fifth, you shouldn't say it's a courier for me, this is not my residential address. Sixth, finally, the trick of impostor courier, I used it countless times more than ten years ago. ”

Jamie was dumbfounded, Aldrich threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Thank you for giving it back to me, I don't want to call the police to ruin your life, you may not have estimated the value of my stolen items, that is enough for you to spend a dark life in prison that will change you from faith, spirit, mentality, and all aspects." I wonder, though, why would you risk getting caught and give it back to me? Moreover, in such a stupid way. ”

Jamie couldn't look up and whispered, "Because, I'm a Millwall fan, my father is, my grandfather is, too" (To be continued......)
