Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Secret in the Teeth

In the evening, Liu Xia arrived at Count Alfonso's castle on time. Usually at this point, Alfonso usually stays in the study, either reading a book or surfing the Internet.But when she came to the study today, she didn't see him. What a coincidence, he wasn't here when I wanted to find him. Liu Xia walked out of the study, just in time to see Lisa walking in front of her again, so she hurriedly stopped her, "Housekeeper Lisa, do you know where Mr. Alfonso has gone?" Lisa's eyes flashed coldly behind the lens, "Mr. Earl is not at home now." "So...then when will he come back?" Liu Xia showed an eager look on his face.Yes, what she wants to see most now is that person, the man who can let Meraviglia go.

"Mr. Earl has always been very busy, and I don't know when he will be back. But..." She adjusted her exquisite pair of Chanel glasses, "Mr. Earl told you not to rush back after class , go to his study and wait for him." In the subsequent tutoring class, Liu Xia was thinking about this matter all the time, and naturally seemed a little absent-minded when guiding Margaret.Troubled by this restless mood, she didn't notice -- Margaret seemed equally absent today. The dialogue between the two was much less than usual, and there was even a cold scene at one point. In the middle of the class, Margaret asked coldly, "Teacher, is it really because of my father that you broke up with Toto?"

Liu Xia was startled, subconsciously shook her head, "Of course not." "Father likes you very much, teacher." Her next words were too straightforward and too sudden, so Liu Xia was stunned for two seconds before choking out a sentence, "Don't get me wrong... no Such……" "I don't know why, but when I found out that Dad liked the teacher, I didn't seem as angry as I thought." Margaret's expression was calm, and there was nothing unusual about it. "Margaret..." "Perhaps... because the teacher is different from other women." There was a sparkle in her eyes, "But, teacher, you must still remember what you once said. Even if my father has a wife in the future, the love I get Not only will it not decrease because of this, on the contrary it will become more. So, if Dad doesn't love me as much as before because of the teacher, then..." Although she didn't finish her sentence, there was a hint of threat in her tone mean.

Liu Xia looked at her helplessly, "Marguerite, you think too much, it's impossible for me and Mr. Alfonso." "Teacher, nothing is impossible in this world." Margaret showed a maturity that didn't match her age, "I hope we can get along well after we switch relationships." Liu Xia didn't want to explain anything to her anymore, but felt that the tooth on the left seemed to be hurting more and more.Maybe, it's really time to go to the dentist tomorrow. After the tutoring class, Liu Xia hurried to Alfonso's study.Lisa asked her to wait in the study for a while, then closed the door and left.

She glanced around the room distractedly, and anxiously took out her mobile phone to check the time. When will that man come back?At this moment, she suddenly heard a beep from Alfonso's laptop. She was also quite familiar with computers, and she was surprised to hear that it should be the prompt sound of skpye. Liu Xia was surprised by this discovery. Did Alfonso also use this chat tool? If it were normal, she wouldn't care about other people's privacy at all.But at this moment, when she knew Alfonso's identity and was worried about the child's fate, a thought naturally popped up in her mind--whether there would be something in this laptop computer? Is there anything to do with that kid?

Thinking of this, her heart jumped wildly, and she hesitated and reached out to the laptop... After the black protective screen disappeared, what appeared in front of her was indeed a skpye dialog box, on which there was only a very clear line of words: Boss, Brother Dante's child is still alive, do you need to turn off the light? There was a sudden bang in her head, isn't Dante the EE executive that Toto said was enforced?Then his brother's children are undoubtedly Maria and the baby! Although the word turn off the lights sounded like a code word, she already sensed the imminent danger.

"I don't seem to remember agreeing to let you touch my computer." Alfonso's voice suddenly came from behind.His voice was still so beautiful, but it suddenly sent a chill down Liu Xia's spine. She turned around quickly, and explained her purpose straight to the point, "Mr. Alfonso, please let that child go." Alfonso didn't answer her, but walked to the computer without haste, and glanced at the dialog box casually. "How do you say I should answer him? Liu Xia?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her.This action might look a little ruffian if done by others, but it has a certain elegance when done by him.

"I know you have a lot of internal rules, and I don't understand the so-called enforcement of family law. But it's not as bad as a wife and child, let alone a newborn baby? Mr. Alfonso, you are also a person with children, aren't you? Please let Meraviglia live in peace." Liu Xia looked straight into his eyes without fear, even though those dark eyes seemed to drag her into the bottomless abyss. "Meraviglia? Even the name?" He sneered, "Have you met him today?" "Yes, I met Toto." Liuxia admitted generously, and then changed the topic back without any trace, "Meraviglia is already very pitiful. She has no father since she was born, and her mother has also become a vegetable. , Is this also going to kill them all?

Alfonso's face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was indistinct under the faint light, but the scar on his neck was extremely grim, "Is this pitiful? Liu Xia, you I haven't seen what is a real tragedy." But the mist quickly dissipated, replaced by his usual expression. "Then... can you let that child go?" Liu Xia softened his tone. "Of course." He laughed, "But any deal is conditional, and this time is no exception. You are so smart, you should know what I want." Liu Xia was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered what he said in the morning.At the same time, a detail that she ignored just now flashed through her mind.How could someone as cautious as Alfonso keep his laptop where she could see it easily?The only explanation is ---- this is what he deliberately let her see.

If she guessed correctly, the exchange condition is... "Do you want me to move here?" Her voice was very calm, without any ups and downs. His eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of his mouth curved more deeply, "Very well, she is indeed the woman that Alfonso likes." Although Liu Xia still wore a calm mask on his face, it was like a pot of boiling hot porridge had been overturned in his heart.There seemed to be a scale of judgment in hell in front of her. On one end of the scale is her freedom, and on the other end is the life of the child. People will say that life is precious and love is more expensive.For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.But at this moment, she felt that this poem was simply absurd and ridiculous.

Lost the freedom of life, is that still freedom? However, as long as there is life, it will always wait until the day when it regains freedom. Meraviglia, miracles, must happen. "Romeo has been waiting there for a long time. Whether to answer Si or Non is up to your decision." Alfonso bent his lips, "Do you want to save others? Then you have to pay the price for your so-called justice." As he spoke, his slender and graceful fingers slowly stretched towards the keyboard... "Wait a minute!" She quickly grabbed his hand, and said clearly through her teeth, "The deal is established!" Alfonso smiled again, the triumphant smile. "Very good, Liu Xia, you have made a great decision." Great, the words coming out of his mouth seem to add a bit of irony. Liu Xia didn't say anything, just let go of his hand silently, but he was caught by his backhand unexpectedly, and pulled her into his arms with all his might.She was already at her lowest point of emotion, but she was furious when she was suddenly attacked like this, and she reached out without thinking and punched her! But he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he defuses her offensive with only one hand.Liu Xia who was under control became even more angry, and happened to have no place to vent.She simply didn't play her cards according to common sense, raised her head fiercely, and pressed it hard against his chin! This hit made her dizzy, and the pain made her head buzz, presumably the other party was not lightly hit. Alfonso rubbed his almost smashed chin, grabbed her hand even harder, and pushed her whole body against the wall, but there was an unconcealable smile on his lips, " Liu Xia, starting tomorrow, we will have a lot of time to communicate." "Mr. Alfonso," she looked at him with disgust, "Although I agree to move here, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with me." "Do whatever you want?" His eyes turned slightly, a little bit of ambiguous light streamed up, "How about...do whatever you want?" Liu Xia was almost hurt internally by his attitude, at this moment, she felt a sudden sharp pain coming from the left tooth, the pain that went straight to the bone marrow was almost unbearable. "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Alfonso saw that her face changed slightly, and knew something was wrong. Liu Xia suffocated and didn't want to talk to him, just clutched her left cheek tightly and said nothing. "Is it a toothache?" He immediately guessed what was wrong, quickly picked up the phone and dialed an internal number, "Lisa, ask Qiao Wan to come over immediately." Fifteen minutes later, Giovanti, the count's personal dentist, appeared in a well-equipped medical room in the castle.He was a conservatively dressed middle-aged man, with a round head on his slightly fat body, and his hair, which was not much, showed a Mediterranean trend. Liu Xia was also in pain right now, so she had no choice but to open her mouth obediently, enduring all kinds of mechanical torture. After Giovanti examined it carefully, a slight surprise appeared on his face. "Mr. Alfonso, this lady may have had a severe pain because the nerve of the left incisor was not extracted cleanly during the previous dental operation, which caused it to rot." Liu Xia was taken aback, and explained vaguely, "No, it's impossible, I've never had dental surgery!" Giovanti's expression became strange, "Is this impossible? There are obvious signs of surgery on your incisor, and..." "And what?" Alfonso asked beside him. "And this incisor tooth has been gouged out, but there seems to be a foreign object inside." Giovanti shook his head, "It's better to have a minor operation, at least the decayed tooth nerve must be pumped out." "Do you still need an operation?" Liu Xia looked at the dentist helplessly and sighed inwardly. Giovanti smiled gently, "Don't worry, the anesthetic will make you feel no pain at all. Just treat it as a sleep, and you'll be completely fine when you wake up." I don't know if it's his own psychological effect, after Liu Xia was injected with anesthesia, he felt dizzy in his head, and he really fell asleep not long after.When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes again, she found that she was in the guest room, and Dr. Giovanti had disappeared. "He has gone back." Alfonso's voice came from above her head coldly. She wanted to speak, but the strength of the anesthetic didn't seem to wear off completely, and her whole mouth was still numb. "It seems that you can't speak for the time being." He sat down beside her and looked at her with very strange eyes, "Liu Xia, do you know what the foreign object in your incisor is?" Liu Xia shook her head, please, how could she know. Alfonso turned his gaze away, and slowly spread his palm in front of her, only to see a black object about the size of an ant lying there. She was startled, how could there be such a strange thing in her incisors? "This is the latest miniature bug." His tone was calm, but it reminded people of the gloomy sky in northern Europe where there is no sunshine every year. She suddenly widened her eyes, showing disbelief on her face. There are bugs in her teeth!This, how is this possible!This is simply a modern version of the Arabian Nights! Alfonso read the doubt in her eyes, and explained in a low voice, "It is true that some private detectives accepted the entrustment of some women before, and put this kind of bug into their teeth while their husbands were at the dentist, so as to monitor Is my husband cheating? But it’s mostly in dentures, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone like you. Liu Xia desperately recalled everything before, but couldn't find the memory of her own dental surgery.What exactly is going on?Which bastard is so over the top, actually hollowing out her teeth to install bugs! "If I'm not mistaken, it should have something to do with Mirante." Alfonso sneered, "He can only use such despicable tricks." After hearing his words, Liu Xia was secretly surprised.What exactly is going on?Could it be that during the few days when he was kidnapped, Mirant moved his hands and feet while he was unconscious?Otherwise, why don't I have any memory at all?If this is true, what is Mirant's purpose?What's the use of bugging her? Liu Xia's head was spinning rapidly, and suddenly she thought of what happened in Positano two days ago, her expression couldn't help changing slightly.Since this is a bug, then Alfonso's identity is... Thinking of this, she looked up at Alfonso, as smart as him, she should have thought of this. Alfonso stood up, with his usual calm face, "It's very late today, so you'll stay here overnight. Anyway, you'll have to stay here from tomorrow on." When he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks, as if he was instructing and more like an order, "Except for class, don't run around if you have nothing to do recently." As the door was slowly closed, the room was suddenly enveloped in darkness.This door seemed to have cut off the world that once belonged to her. Liu Xia stared at the ceiling in a daze with unfocused eyes, a misty chaos filled his mind. She couldn't see the way ahead. After leaving the room, Alfonso went straight to his study.There have been countless question marks from Romeo on the skpye dialog box.He picked up the microphone and pressed the voice chat switch. "Boss, you're finally back. Just now you said that Liuxia's teeth were bugged? Oh no, she found out about your identity in Positano that night, so didn't Mirante receive it as well... ..." Toto's eager voice came from the microphone immediately. Alfonso frowned, "Very likely." "It will be troublesome if they find out, Boss, what should we do? Should we act first?" Romeo's voice showed a lazy murderous look. "This troublesome person must be eliminated, but it's not now." Alfonso showed calm and calm, "Even if he knows my identity, he will not act rashly now. We have to wait An opportune time, and I think he's the same." "but……" "Also, you should immediately go find some agile people and keep an eye on Liu Xia's actions." Romeo seemed to pause, "Boss, do you mean... to protect her?" Alfonso didn't answer his question directly, but simply replied, "Just do as I tell you." Romeo seemed to want to say something more, but in the end he just said a good word and went offline. At this time, beside the farmhouse about a few kilometers away from the castle, a latest LAND ROVER off-road vehicle was parked.The dark black car body seems to have been integrated into this thick darkness, only a little red light from the car window reveals the fact that there are people in the car. "Is this the residence of A?" Mirant pinched out the cigarette in his hand, and said as if sighing, "I didn't expect that even the earl would be a gangster, and he was also the decision-maker of EE. It's unbelievable." Zola, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled slightly, "This Earl Alfonso followed her mother's surname, thus inheriting the title of hereditary noble from her mother's side. However, there is no information about her father at all, as if this person had never existed in this world." "But since Alfonso can become the decision-maker of EE, his father must not be an ordinary person, right?" Milante looked at the ancient castle thoughtfully, as if there would be a group of vampire bats coming from there at any time under the night Flying out, greedily pounced on its prey. Zola glanced at him, "Master, don't you plan to tell Miss Madeleine this secret?" "If I tell my sister, she will definitely send a killer to Rome." Mirant raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "This is too boring." "Master, I'm convinced of you. What's the point of talking about fun at this time?" Zola held her forehead helplessly, but there was a clear smile on her face, "Master, I think you want to talk about it yourself. Will A get rid of it and tell Miss Madeleine?" "If A can be solved, then the failure of the bidding project is nothing. Zola, you really are the person who understands me best in the world. However, it is not so easy to get rid of A. I have to wait for another The right opportunity." He raised the corner of his mouth, "The game has just begun." At this time, the mobile phone on the seat suddenly vibrated.Mirante quickly picked up the phone, his face softened obviously when he heard the voice from the microphone, and even the tone of his voice was a little doting, "Is it Cassino? Oh, what do you want to know about me?" Come back when? Okay, okay..." After finishing the phone call, he put the phone aside, with a rare gentle smile on his lips. "Did Cassino miss you?" Zola smiled.If there is anyone in this world who can occupy a place in the young master's heart, then besides Miss Madeleine, it may be this little nephew Cassino. Mirante's smile looked particularly blurred in the night, ""Perhaps, it's time to go back to Naples. "
