Mr. Consultant

My dream is worth fighting for by myself. My life today is definitely not a cold copy of my life yesterday. —— "Red and Black"

Giuseppe, because of Gustavo's advice and lingering fears about the Mara incident, had to act like a coward and put on a thick body armor with steel plates.It seemed to him at first that the thing was so outrageously stupid that it almost made him laugh.If it wasn't for the young master by his side, he would definitely take off this inexplicable equipment immediately, and then continue to be that gentle and meaningless Mr. Gold-rimmed glasses.

But when those thugs rushed up, when the gunshots rang out, he thanked the second in command from the bottom of his heart for his proposal.Christ, he no longer wanted to experience a parting situation, just as he did not want to experience the realization of his deep love for the young master.He is not afraid of accidents, nor is he afraid of any enemies, but he is sincere, unable to face this kind of emotion that makes him shudder.

Giuseppe was helplessly aware that there was actually no room for maneuver in this feeling.He couldn't give up his desire for that young master, and even hoped to hold him tightly in his arms for the rest of his life, so that he would never suffer any blows of frustration and disillusionment.But at the same time, he is also the young master's adviser, and he must always be loyal to his leader.Even if it is death, even if it is nothing, it can't make him have the slightest intention of betrayal.If one day, the family needs him to do so, he can also put his own life aside and write Xavier's name on the ground of Chicago with his blood.

This is his loyalty, and his loyalty is not inferior to love.

But even with such an inseparable relationship, at the moment of danger in front of the high-end hotel on the shore of Lake Michigan, Giuseppe still made a decision to protect Sean.His mind is quite sober, sober enough to judge that there is nothing wrong with Xavier's situation.The killer was after Sean, wanting to stop the deal for reasons he didn't know.

Giuseppe understands how important it is for Xavier to cooperate with the northern drug dealers.So he can be ruthless and risk his life to protect a person who has no friendship.He couldn't watch that young master's efforts go to waste, just as he couldn't watch his money being robbed.With nearly all his strength, he pushed Sean to safety before turning to meet his fate.

At that time, he suddenly recalled the scene in front of the flower shop. He fell to the ground powerlessly, and his body was cold due to excessive blood loss, as if he had fallen into Lake Michigan in the severe winter.He heard Xavier jump out of the car, and then the brand new pair of handmade leather shoes walked in front of him without hesitation.The gunfire rang out again, and the crowd screamed and ran away. Giuseppe heard all this, and suddenly realized that the young master and himself still had some helpless similarities.

At critical moments, they will not be swayed by unnecessary feelings, but they will always be able to calmly choose the greatest benefit and the best means.It's not that they don't have no nostalgia, it's not that they don't have no regrets, it's just that the goal is too clear, so that they can't pursue everything else.

Giuseppe felt a little ridiculous facing the killer who was flying towards him, but he also felt a burst of great sadness from the absurdity.Because in the final analysis, he still couldn't get away from murder and framing.He still walked the old path of those predecessors, struggling and resisting on the death line all his life, but he never found a way to escape.

But thankfully, Giuseppe's luck once again showed its power.The consultant had only some cracked ribs from the impact, but no other dire injuries.The German doctor with a bad attitude in the Barone family sent him a tights and ordered him to stay in bed.

"rest on bed."

This is the phrase that Giuseppe has heard the most in the past three months.The consultant couldn't bear it, and planned to promote his hysterical style, so he went to Xavier alive and kicked, and then snatched the job from the young master, and started to deal with those who were actually Things that have nothing to do with him.

At first, Xavier was touched by his selfless work attitude for a very small moment, but he immediately realized the temperament of the gentleman in front of him, so he ordered him to go back and lie down in a vicious voice, and not to participate in these mindless things.

But Giuseppe has made up his mind, he will no longer be as helpless as he was a few months ago.Although he still felt some inexplicable pain in his ribs when he was speaking, it was not the previous situation where he could not move while lying on the bed.

This weird sense of superiority allowed him to talk back to that young master without hesitation, and to speak some completely false information in Italian like a machine gun.He declared that he was much better, and that stopping work was the most harmful to his body.

The young master didn't say anything, just watched his words and deeds silently while smoking a low-quality cigarette.When Giuseppe said that even he thought it was meaningless, and even wanted to laugh, he put out the cigarette in his hand, and then walked slowly in front of the consultant.Giuseppe seemed to him to be some kind of queer figure, and what kind of man could tell a lie without foundation with such seriousness?

But unfortunately, the young master has become immune to Giuseppe's behavior. He can instinctively ignore the series of nonsense that the consultant said, and then ruthlessly deny his proposal.Giuseppe had nothing to do about it, he had no choice but to show his identity as an elder to threaten and provoke him.But just before he explained everything in detail, the young master took the lead in picking up his body, and gently put him back on the bed.

Xavier leaned over to look at him, put his palms on his ears, his breath was mixed with moist air, his sharp eagle-like eyes made Giuseppe feel a burst of inexplicable fear.The consultant looked away in embarrassment, unable to say a word for a while.

"My dear, I will finish those tasks, and I will sort out those materials..."

Xavier said this in Italian, even a little gentle, and straightened the broken hair on Giuseppe's forehead, and he continued:

"But if you insist on doing something like this, which is not good for you or me, I'll send you to a nearby hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe a sedative for you."

After hearing this, Giuseppe was wrapped around his head and clutched his heart by Xavier's whispering, bewitching voice.He couldn't make the slightest resistance to this, he could only nod silently, and then let the young master kiss his forehead.

He couldn't understand, where did this young master get this creepy magic power, or in other words, this is the terrible reaction of love?It took him a long time before he was freed from this inexplicable emotion and regained a little bit of his usual calmness.He raised his hands and said to Xavier in a gesture of surrender:

"Okay, uncle's little cutie, I know about it. Please don't call that talkative doctor, and don't send me to those boring hospitals."

Generally speaking, as long as Giuseppe is willing to admit his mistakes and repent of his words and deeds, that young master will never argue with him.But at this moment, Xavier, uncharacteristically, retorted somewhat harshly:

"I thought you were having a good time in the hospital."

Giuseppe was surprised, who knows why he should be happy in the hospital?Those doctors in white coats and those quietly beating instruments all made him feel disgust and anxiety that went deep into his bone marrow.What's more, when he was lying in bed, he was not allowed to use the phone to learn about exchange rates and stock prices.It was as if a big hole had been opened in his coffers, and he was not allowed to investigate the situation, nor was he allowed to send someone to plug the hole.

Giuseppe felt unreasonable about this, and even wanted to put a gun to those people's temples, tell them the importance of money to him, and that he would rather die suddenly than watch his books shrink.But it is a pity that no one can understand his thoughts, understand that a person who has just returned from the death line is thinking about his property when he opens his eyes.So they wanted to transfer Giuseppe to a psychiatrist so that the doctors there could take a closer look at his condition.Fortunately, at such times, someone will always stand up in time and make some stupid proofs for the consultant.

But in fact, the young master just suddenly recalled the incident when Giuseppe approached young people in the hospital.He felt a little bit of jealousy, even an indelible anger, but he completely forgot the fact that he was a young man himself.But in short, when he said this sentence, he had already started to regret it.He felt that he should not have expressed these thoughts, nor should he have given the counselor a chance to sense his feelings.When he saw Giuseppe's puzzled eyes, he had no choice but to pretend to be casually teasing, and then quickly ended this topic that was not good for both of them.

But the matter has come here, but it is far from over.A few days later, the personnel sent out finally got news about the identities of the killers.Out of respect for Sean, the young master decided to hand over this incident to the northern drug dealers. He hoped to show Barone's impartial attitude in this matter and never wanted the leader to have doubts about him. .

Shine said yes to his offer, then vowed to give Xavier a definitive response.He tortured the captured killers, and he didn't hear any clues from their mouths, but he found clues from the weapons.His men followed the vine to find the selling point of these weapons, and finally pointed the finger at Maldini.

It all makes sense.Maldini didn't want Sheen to get out of his control, and he didn't want Barone to accept their business, so they tried to sabotage the meeting as much as possible and damage Xavier's reputation among the northern drug dealers.It's just that this thing has been done too stupidly, too hastily and unorganized.

Giuseppe explained to Xavier that this was most likely not the decision of Salvatore, the Maldini adviser.Because as far as he knew, the white-haired, tall and thin old man was a typical example of conservativeness and prudence. He would rather do nothing than act rashly.Although Salvatore had had a quarrel with him at the Brownstone, such dispensable personal grievances would never be brought into their work.

And Lorenzo, Lorenzo Maldini, is closer to the personality shown in this incident.He is the eldest son of the leader Piero, the second in command in the family, has the right to control all the soldiers, and can know the most important secrets.He was fully capable of planning this horrific assassination and had a motive for killing Sheen or Giuseppe.

And, unfortunately, Lorenzo himself, not inheriting his father's fine dispositions, did not possess a certain natural alertness and alertness.He neither has the ingenious means to convince everyone, nor can he understand the subtle emotions hidden in other people's words.He just blindly believed in machine guns and blood, believed in the fear these things brought, and mistook this fear as the only way to solve the problem.For example, during the time of all-out war, there was absolutely no need for him to send family soldiers to sweep up Barone's shops. Politicians often visited these shops, which undoubtedly damaged Maldini's prestige in Chicago.

In short, thanks to Lorenzo's impulsiveness, Sean finally realized that Maldini was no longer worthy of cooperation, let alone any generous benefits.What's more, in some respects, Giuseppe saved Sean's life and should be treated reasonably.Although the leader once doubted the origin of the body armor, worrying that it was a self-directed and self-acted farce, but the investigation told him that this was not the case, and considering the shooting of Giuseppe a month ago, he had reason to be cautious careful.

All of the above led to shortly after the assassination, Sean signed an agreement with Xavier, expressing his willingness to transfer his business to the neighborhood of Barone, and pay them a commission to seek mutual friendship.

Xavier is really happy about this, and he has taken a long way to unify Chicago.But at the same time, there was a certain deep worry in his heart.He wants to find out who leaked the itinerary of the meeting, intending to sabotage his deal with the upstate drug dealers.He questioned the employees in the Brownstone building who knew about it, and sent someone to inquire about the bodyguard who was in charge of the security that day.Then, unexpectedly, or rather unexpectedly, he discovered the undercover agent of "Big Garden" from inside.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Sheen about it, tell anyone other than Giuseppe, he didn't want to expose Barone's conflicted situation.However, this young master will never let it go, because he has both the ability and the capital at this moment——

Do a real cleanse.
