Chapter 14 History

Cheng Bin had just seen the brooches in the drawer, but unlike the cufflinks, the brooches all had convex shapes. Although Cheng Bin didn't know Jin Jinhua, as long as he saw the brooches in the drawer, he knew that this was not right without any effort.

That's why he didn't choose a brooch. It wasn't because he forgot it, but because he deliberately missed it.

Isabeldo did not need explanation, and Cheng Bin also knew what the Constantine family's emblem represented, so he couldn't help frowning.

Emily noticed the change in his expression and explained, "This means you are employed by the Constantine family."

This is also a reasonable reason. Generally speaking, important employees of a family are also qualified to use the employment family badge. After all, in addition to the symbol of identity, this can also be regarded as a kind of belonging.

He coughed, restrained his urge to take off the brooch, and smiled at Emily, "If you say so, will my salary be as standard as New York?"

"Do you know what I'm worried about?" Emily said. "I hope you won't let this brooch be shamed."

Cheng Bin laughed, he skillfully tied his cuffs and said to Emily: "To the simplicity of how simple I got it, I thought you wouldn't have this worry."

Emily smiled, and Cheng Bin found that there were always many unspeakable styles in her smile. She said: "Strictly speaking, I am the second generation mistress of the Constantine family now, so I have the power to give some people the power to use my family badge. This is not important unless you cause a big problem with this identity."

She raised her hand and patted Cheng Bin on the arm. It could be seen that if possible, she originally planned to pat his shoulder - if Cheng Bin didn't stand so straight.

"I don't know what your past experience was, but I suggest you learn to pursue a sense of ritual." She said: "My husband said that glory needs a sense of ritual to support it."

Cheng Bin smiled gently, and shook his head and said, "I don't think the sense of ritual that borrows Huabei to have a big meal can bring honor. In fact, glory has always been easy to buy and has a high cost performance."

"What?" Emily asked in confusion: "What are the two words you just said?"

Isabel shrugged and said, "I think he has another language, a language we have never heard before."

"I said that I know a lot of necessary and unnecessary knowledge." Cheng Bin said to Isabel: "This part is also included."

Emily glanced at him deeply, "Do you know, when I first saw you, I thought you were mysterious."

At this time, the maid brought a watch and handed it carefully to Emily in a soft wrap.

Emily took the watch directly, took it in her hand and looked at it, and said to Cheng Bin: "This is the watch my husband bought when he attended an auction in the Royal City. It is a legacy of the previous era. My husband bought it not because it is very expensive, but because it comes from the East and has a rare quantity."

She chuckled softly, "I think its mystery is suitable for you."

Cheng Bin smiled and reached out to take the watch in her hand.

This is a white steel three-pin watch with a classic appearance. The cowhide strap has some wear marks, but it is quite old. Obviously Emily is right. Her husband bought this watch just for collection and probably never worn it.

Cheng Bin's eyes flashed over the bird pattern with an abstract painting above the dial, flipped over the dial, and then his expression changed.

A line of letters - "sea-gull" is engraved on the bottom of the back of the dial of this watch. However, this is not important. What attracted Cheng Bin's attention was the words and patterns above the letters.

The pattern on the back of this table is divided into three parts, with half-surrounding characters at the top, and a logo composed of red, white and blue in the middle. The red positive five-pointed star pattern in the middle depicts two simple characters in white, arranged up and down.

Looking at Cheng Bin who suddenly fell silent, Emily's face showed a sly smile, and she said, "Do you know this kind of text?"

She said, “Is this watch expensive?”

"No." Cheng Bin shook his head and said. He naturally put the watch on his left wrist and said sadly: "This is a replica of the public sale. In order to commemorate the first watch used by a certain army, it is not expensive."

He said to Emily: "I know it's presumptuous to ask this, but can I buy it?"

"I'm afraid I don't have the right to put my husband's property out." Emily said smartly: "But if you can always work for the Constantine family, of course you can always use it."

Cheng Bin looked at her very seriously, shook his head gently and said, "It may not be as important as you think."

"What if this is just an additional benefit?" Emily made a gesture and signaled Cheng Bin to follow her. "We have stayed for a long time. Since you promised to provide protection for Isa, at least you should be familiar with the environment here."

"So..." she said, "Let's talk as we go.

Instead of rejecting her proposal, Cheng Bin quickly walked back to the bedside and inserted the revolver and the unexpectedly obtained Glock 18 into his belt.

"I need a quick pull-out holster, preferably a leg holster." Cheng Bin said: "If you don't know what that is, you can directly ask the sod staff."

"No need." Emily said: "I've seen my husband's bodyguard use that kind of thing, and I think Mr. Gujian can provide it." She looked at Cheng Bin and said: "I just don't understand why you know that kind of thing?"

Cheng Bin glanced at her, so Emily laughed. "Okay, I understand." She said, "You know a lot of useful or useless knowledge."

"That knowledge is useful, purely personal opinion."

"Thank you." Cheng Bin replied politely.

In the following time, the three of them visited the mayor's residence under the leadership of Emily. The space here is not big, but it is gorgeously decorated and the interior design is very organized. According to Emily's introduction, this is not the first generation of Mayor's residence in Maple Leaf Town, but was rebuilt on that basis.

"In the 37th year of the New Calendar, a group of gangs attacked Maple Leaf Town. Azeroth led the residents of the town to resist tenaciously in the building and repel them, but the place was also destroyed.

"Later, the Constantine family sent construction experts from the royal capital to redesign and build the residence."

Emily said lightly: "I knew Azeroth at that time."

She stopped, looked at Cheng Bin and said, "You sometimes always remind me of him at that time."

Cheng Bin coughed, not answering the question. Instead, Isabel said enthusiastically: "Are you fighting side by side with Mr. Azeroth?" She glanced at Cheng Bin intentionally or unintentionally and said: "Just like me and him did last night?"

"Sorry." Cheng Bin said gently: "I'm afraid we didn't think we fought side by side last night." He corrected: "It's more appropriate to call it escape."
