Chapter 1370: Tuition fees
Translator: 549690339
When Chief Officer dawst said,’please feel free to start the investigation’, Feng bujue received the notification that the mission had been completed.
Even though he did not know how the system defined this, it was clear that … Brother Jue’s one-sided participation in the investigation had not been approved.
The appearance of Zuo Yan, or rather, the appearance of the two “opponents”, Zuo Yan and Victor, officially started the detective showdown and moved the script’s mission to the next stage.
As for what to do in the “next stage”… The system didn’t give any further hints, so the chain of sub-tasks under the main mission had ended.
In other words, the focus of Feng bujue’s action had returned to’ use the space of Chapter 33 to complete the scenario ‘. In the next 15 chapters, how to stop Zuo Yan and victork from solving the case and announcing the truth became the main problem that brother Jue faced …!!
…………
It was 3:07 am. In a room on the first floor of Herbert’s house.
There were only two people in the room.
“Hmm … This wine is not bad.” Feng bujue took a sip of the red liquid in the wine glass and gave a very honest comment.
At this time, he was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed and leisurely swirling the wine glass in his hand. On the coffee table in front of him was an opened bottle of red wine.
“Ha … That’s true. I was planning to give this bottle of wine to the Pope on Easter this year …” In contrast, John Herbert had an expression that said,’are you F * cking kidding me?’ on his face. He was sitting on the other sofa opposite brother Jue, and he used a slightly bitter tone to respond to brother Jue’s compliment that was not meant to be.
“Oh?” Hearing that, Feng bujue raised an eyebrow and smiled.”I see … Then I have to thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Herbert.”
“You’re welcome …” John said in a deep voice.”My Manor hasn’t received any guests in a long time. It’s rare that Mr. Feng is also an expert in wine … I’ll make the best use of this bottle of red wine I’ve collected.”
Although he said that, in fact, John’s heart was bleeding …
About ten minutes ago, when Feng bujue had asked John to’ take a bottle of red wine to have a taste ‘from the wine cellar, John had responded with a scornful smile and thought to himself,””And here I thought this kid was some sort of amazing character, but the first thing he said was that he wanted to take advantage of a rich family. Hmph … Fine, I guess you haven’t seen much of the world, so I’ll let you choose.”
At that time, John had thought that someone like Feng bujue was on the same level as dawist. With the guts and knowledge of such a person, he would at most be able to scam one or two bottles of red wine that were worth around a thousand pounds.
To his surprise … After brother Jue got the permission, he walked into the wine cellar and picked out the most expensive bottle of wine in the entire place, or rather, in all of Wales.
This bottle of wine had been brewed and bottled by a famous France winery exactly ten years ago. That year’s climate, soil, grape harvest, and other factors that would affect the quality of the wine were all perfect. It could be said to be a once-in-a-century event, which resulted in many good wines. And this bottle of red wine, called “flower bud”, was the best of the best …
A few years ago, John had spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy the bottle of flower bud at an auction. Of course, he didn’t plan to drink it himself when he bought it. He only bought it for special occasions.
Many people had a misunderstanding about wine, which was that “the older the red wine, the better” That kind of wine that was said to have been put aside for one or two hundred years had already lost its taste. When bought, it could only be displayed as a display. If one really opened it to drink, even if it didn’t kill people … The taste wouldn’t be very good.
After being bottled, the best drinking period of red wine usually did not exceed 15 years. Most of them were in the range of four to ten years, and this year happened to be the best year to drink this “flower”. It was for this reason that John planned to give this wine to the Pope as a gift on Easter this year.
However, to his surprise … Tonight, his ‘investment’ of a few hundred thousand pounds had been taken by Feng bujue, who was of unknown origin. This was daylight robbery … But the promise of ‘pick anything’ was given by John himself, so he could not do anything about it.
“Haha … Enough with the jokes …” Feng bujue, who was swirling the wine glass, stopped smiling and said,”I know you’re sad. If it were me, I’d be sad too.”
His words tore off the last layer of disguise on John’s face, making his master reveal a rather gloomy expression.
“Before I entered the wine cellar, you thought I didn’t have the knowledge to find the bottle of wine, nor the courage to take it out.” Feng bujue continued,”and when I took out the bottle of wine and opened it as if nothing had happened, you suppressed your anger and admitted that you were unlucky. At the same time, you lied to yourself and told yourself,’this kid is just lucky, he actually doesn’t know the value of this bottle of wine’.”
At this point, brother Jue paused.”Ha … In this world, where are there so many coincidences and luck? Even if there is … I’m afraid it doesn’t belong to me. ” He picked up the wine glass and took another sip.”Mr. Herbert, I can tell you for sure … The reason I entered your wine cellar today was to find the most expensive bottle. The moment you promised me ‘I can choose whatever I want’, you’ve already given away a few hundred thousand … Well … If I’m not wrong, it’s probably this price … A few hundred thousand pounds worth of red wine.
“Of course, I’m not doing this just to scam you of your sky-high red wine. I just want to use this thing … This thing can be measured by the values you’re familiar with to send you a message.
“Yingluo, what you think I can’t do, what-don’t dare to do, I actually do it without any pressure. Ten minutes ago, your opinion, prejudice, judgment, and so on of me are the same as my ‘thanks’ and ‘compliments’ to you just now … Worthless. ”
“It seems like … I’m paying for my ‘contempt’ for you.” John stared at brother Jue and said word by word.
“Hmph …” Feng bujue snorted and replied,”you should be glad that I gave you this opportunity to’ learn ‘…” He shrugged and continued,”every one of us has to learn and grow through mistakes, and these’ mistakes ‘will come with a price … This time, the price you have to pay is money, a small amount of money that is insignificant to you. But next time, if you make a mistake again, what you have to pay … May not just be money. ”
“What you said …” John had already regained his calm. He even listened to Feng bujue’s words seriously.”I will remember it …”
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Before the person outside could say anything, brother Jue already knew who it was.
