America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 434

The next morning, Hellman arrived at Brannan's villa in the suburbs.

He couldn't wait to ask if he had achieved any staged results last night.

However, the gate of the villa is closed.

Hellman knocked on the door for a long time before the butler arrived at the door after a long time.

"The young master took someone out last night, and he hasn't come back yet."

The butler glanced at Hellman through the half-open door, then closed the door again.

Hellman was shut out.

He's a little weird.

No, no matter how far it is from the Hyde Street Pier, you should be back in one night.

Could it be that the two sides are fighting?
Just as he led the horse and was about to get on the horse and leave.

Brannan and his entourage appeared at the gate of the villa courtyard, heading towards him.

Hellman narrowed his eyes.

These people don't seem to be in the right place.

Brannan rode first.

The rich second generation's eyes were bloodshot, his suit jacket was missing a sleeve, and his trousers were covered in dust.

And the followers behind him were also disheartened.

Brannan saw Hellman standing at the gate of his villa with his horse in his hand from a long distance away, and he was immediately out of breath.

He flew off his horse and walked quickly to Hellman's door.

"What? Did you suffer last night?" Hellman asked.

Brannan put his hands on his hips and stared at Hellman with a ferocious expression: "You fucking kidding me?!"

Heilman was at a loss:
"Did Holly and Chen Jianqiu not come?"

"Come on!" Brannan spat thick phlegm on the ground, without the appearance of a high-class person at all, "You think this is very interesting, don't you?"

After finishing speaking, he passed the old detective without waiting for Hellman's reply.

"I think you should speak more clearly." Hellman's voice also cooled down.

If it were ten years ago, Brannan would already be lying on the ground eating dirt.

"You asked me to take the reporter to Pier 63 on Hyde Street last night, saying that there would be a surprise there."

Brannan turned around, mouth twitching with anger.

"In the end, there was a surprise, but it wasn't about Huo Li and Chen Jianqiu, but about my wife and his lover!"

Hellman took a breath, and he immediately understood what was going on:

"I think we've fallen for a trap!"

"That's a trap for you!" Brannan yelled at Hellman with no poise, "No wonder you Pinkerton will be kicked out of California, Mr. Hellman! Our cooperation is terminated, do you understand? ?”

Hearing this rich young man's hysterical accusation, Heilman laughed instead of anger.

He has a way to deal with this kind of person.

"Then how about I help you catch that lover who committed adultery with your wife?"

Hearing this proposal, Brannan's eyes lit up:
"Okay! Help me catch that adulterer and adulteress, and I'll pay you."

Last night he chased that rival named Dick along the coast with his idiot entourage and guns.

As a result, he chased him all the way to Fisherman's Wharf but failed to catch up.

It seems that this is not the first time that Dick has been caught hooking up with other people's wives, and he is very experienced in escaping.

Not only did Brannan lose track of the man, but his own cuff was caught by a nail on the trestle railing.

As soon as he tried hard, the sleeve became half.

Therefore, when Heilman expressed that he would arrest him on his behalf, he agreed without hesitation.

At this time, he had completely forgotten about the anti-strike and Chen Jianqiu.

After Brannan returned to the villa, Hellman sighed deeply.

He is more worried about another thing now.

What happened last night was obviously a trap, and the evil consequences of the damn Brannan selling his teammates were revealed.

I am afraid that the pawn that I finally buried is going to be dangerous.

He got on his horse very anxiously and galloped towards the barber shop in the city.

"Look at it."

In a remote warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Chen Jianqiu took the newspaper Hanif handed him.

The headline on the front page above is what happened on the beach at Pier 63 on Hyde Street last night:

The rich man in San Francisco smashed his wife's adulterous affair, and there was a chase scene with guns drawn on the beach!
"It's time to close the net." Chen Jianqiu folded up the newspapers and put them back on the table. "Only you and the other three know what happened yesterday. Now you can be sure that the ghost is among these three."

He stood up.

Hanif stepped forward and handed another report to Chen Jianqiu.

This is the whereabouts of those three people in the past two days, detailing where they went and who they met.

Chen Jianqiu didn't read the report, but sent the report back to Hanif: "Go and check it yourself. If you find it, you should be clean."

"Hey, thank you boss, I knew you still valued me." Hanif said shyly, "Following you is definitely the wisest choice!"

"Oh?"

Chen Jianqiu was just about to leave the warehouse, when he heard Hanif's words were interesting inside and out.

He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the bounty hunter with a smile:

"What? Someone wants to poach you? How much are you worth?"

Hanif was terrified by Chen Jianqiu, so he hurriedly reported the truth:

"It's the people from Pinkerton. They want to return to California and poach me to lead the team."

"You promised them?" Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows.

"No, how is it possible? I, Hanif, am a person who knows how to repay my kindness. How could I betray my benefactor! Boss, your kindness to me is deeper than the sea in the Pacific Ocean, and higher than Mount Whitney (the highest peak in the United States) !"

Hanif said righteously.

"I'm afraid the money wasn't enough." Chen Jianqiu glanced at him.

Hanif chuckled.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can figure it out." Chen Jianqiu stepped out of the gate.

"Boss, when can I be reinstated?"

Hanif asked at Chen Jianqiu's back.

"I'll be your apprentice's assistant for another three months. When he says you can become a full-time employee, you can go back and be his boss." Chen Jianqiu's voice drifted over.

Hanif looked at the warehouse roof.

He seems to have returned to the time when he was a non-staff member.

He turned his head and shrugged at Holly: "Master Chairman, please call those three people over."

Holly nodded and walked out the door.

A few hours later, the summoned officers of the Knights of Labor appeared at the door of the warehouse.

However, there are only two people!

The veteran undercover Duncan and the angry youth Bowen both came, but Gordon the lumberjack did not show up.

"We didn't find him." The labor union officer who didn't know the truth said, "The workers at the logging site said he left first."

"Snapped!"

Holly slapped the table in front of him, startling everyone present.

"You go to the office and wait for me first. There will be a strike the day after tomorrow. I will make the final arrangements." He said to everyone in the Labor Knights.

Everyone, including Duncan and Bowen, did not understand the significance of Hawley's arrangement.

If you want to go to the office, why call them to the outskirts of this shitty warehouse.

This is really a bit unbelievable.

But they did as Holly arranged.

After everyone left, Hanif came out from a cubicle in the corner of the warehouse.

"We have to find Gordon immediately, and we can't let him cause damage to this strike!" Hawley looked serious.

"Don't worry, he won't escape." Hanif smiled, "Just leave him to me."
