Alan looked at the medal on his chest and felt very happy. He could never have imagined that the old lady would give him this medal at this time. She is really... a good person!
With this medal, wouldn't that old guy Major have to behave himself immediately?
Wow, the Grand Cross of the Order of the Knight, this is the medal that a true knight should have under the British honors system!
The kind that can have a specific title on the name!
"After the party, I have something else to convey. The Queen asked me to convey it to you."
Boss Cha looked at the smiling Allen and decided to tell the bad news after the party.
"Oh? Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say to me? Please tell me now, Your Highness. Haha..."
Alan didn't even notice Boss Cha's expression, he was only focused on the medal, mainly because it was inlaid with diamonds and it was very sparkling.
"Well...let's wait until the party is over and watch the show first!"
Boss Cha refused again. It was not easy for the child to organize a party, and he couldn’t bear to say anything that would spoil the fun... Let’s talk about it after the party.
…
"What? The confinement period is extended for a year? You can only go on a business trip once a month? And only for three days? And you have to write a self-criticism letter and hand it in every month?"
In Allen's study, after the party, Boss Cha would definitely not go back overnight. He would stay at Allen's place for one night, so... with the help of Allen's study, he conveyed the Queen's words to Allen.
Hearing this bad news, Alan was completely stunned!
He is also planning to go on a cruise on his big yacht next year!
how so?!
Old woman, just now I was thinking that you were kind-hearted and capable, but now... damn, you are not a human being!
I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but...
…
After some calculations, the original house arrest period was almost until August 1995. This time it was extended for another year, so it would have to be until August 1996, right?
Damn it!
"Your Highness! Save me!"
Looking at Allen's expression, Boss Cha also smiled. When it comes to methods...I'm still very steady.
"This is what the Queen said herself. She is not joking. No one can save you. You should study hard and control your temper in the next two years. It would be best if you can get married."
"It's over..."
Alan slumped down in his seat. He didn't hear what Boss Cha said next. He just stared blankly at the ceiling of the study.
The crystal chandelier is so eye-catching, and the sleeping rhubarb on the ground next to it is so eye-catching. Everything is so eye-catching wherever you look!
This time I really went to jail!
Boss Cha looked at Allen, who seemed to have lost all hope in life, and laughed out loud without disguising his feelings.
This guy has come to this day?!
…
"Wang, Nie, come and sit over here!"
At the Carmarthenshire Police Station, on Christmas Eve, the bald sheriff looked at the two trainee police officers with a kind face. After seeing them sit down, he took out two thick manila envelopes from the drawer of his desk.
"This is your year-end bonus. Don't think it's too little. After all, you are not official police officers in Wales, so... your share is a little small."
When the bald sheriff said this, he looked a little embarrassed.
Xiao Nie picked up the envelope and opened it.
There are two thick stacks of banknotes inside!
The main color is purple, with the Queen's portrait printed on the front and the number 20 in the upper right corner.
These are... two stacks of £20 notes?
When I think about it, the thick envelope in my hand contains 200 20-pound notes, which is four thousand pounds!
With a little conversion, it’s more than 40,000!
For this price, you can buy a house in an ordinary first- or second-tier city in China!
We are now in the housing reform period. Recalling the conversation between colleagues some time ago, an old comrade bought out his family's allocated housing for less than ten thousand yuan. Xiao Nie was a little confused when looking at the pounds in the envelope.
For her, this is already a huge sum of money. With her current salary, she would have to save for ten years without eating or drinking to save that much money!
…
"Sheriff, this...I can't accept it."
Resisting his reluctance, Xiao Nie put the envelope down and pushed it back.
"Haha, it's all thanks to your help some time ago that we can accurately calculate the asset data of these people. Take it, it's yours. I will write about this extra bonus in your internship report. In addition... to prevent you from spending reluctantly, there is a Blue Knight Supermarket shopping card worth one thousand pounds in the envelope. Remember to buy things and use the card to spend. The amount in it is non-refundable!"
Although the bald sheriff didn't understand why his superiors forced everyone to set aside a portion of their bonus to be deposited into supermarket cards, since this was the order from above, he just did as he was told. If he wanted to do well in the Welsh police system, he had to ask fewer questions, do more, and obey orders!
…
The sheriff winked at the stunned Xiao Nie. This old girl was quite capable and proactive in her work. He was very optimistic about her.
“…”
After listening to what the bald sheriff said, Xiao Nie and Captain Wang looked at each other. They finally understood why these people had gone to the bank to check their bank statements some time ago.
Thinking about the parents who came with money to redeem their children a few days ago, Xiao Nie suddenly understood something at this moment.
Sometimes the way to achieve "justice" can be flexible!
It is much easier to identify a suspect first and then look for evidence. Once the problem is found and solved, the crime rate can be effectively reduced.
As for whether this method will bring about any adverse effects during the case handling process.
This is called fault tolerance!
Sacrifice the small self for the greater self!
"Then...thank you, Sheriff."
"Haha, go ahead, today is Christmas Eve, have fun!"
"Thanks!"
…
December 30, 1994.
Alan was sitting in the sun room on the roof drinking tea as usual.
He has been in a very bad mood these days.
First of all, Moza came to see him once two days ago.
Originally this was just a routine visit, and by the way, he invited Alan to visit Qatar next year.
The subtext is to tell Ellen that everything is ready and she can take action, and she can't wait to become the queen!
But...Alan can now only take three days off to leave Wales every month!
What can you do in three days?
Can you go to Qatar?
So embarrassing!
He couldn't say that he was under house arrest and couldn't go out, right?
But if you don't go, and don't do it at the agreed time, it will be difficult to lure the old king out next time.
The king's itinerary is arranged in advance, and unless there are special circumstances, there are few changes!
This gave Alan an even bigger headache, but in order to save face, he easily sent Moza away and told her... everything was under control, and the old king's trip didn't matter, and he would use his connections to find someone to lure the old king out when the time comes!
As for him, he has been too busy recently. We’ll see whether he will go to Qatar when the time comes!
…
Now, Alan, who has been having a headache for several days, has not yet figured out how to lure out the old king of Qatar.
At their level, only a state visit or a meeting with a high-ranking figure can disrupt his schedule.
You can't... ask the boss for help, right?
Alan shook his head.
Theoretically, if Allen invited the old king of Qatar to visit Wales in his own name, there would be no big problem. But if he really did that, it would be a bit too despicable. He invited him out and then took away his throne while he was not at home.
It would be bad for his reputation if the news leaked!
…
"Master! This is the financial report forecast for the second half of this year. In addition... I just received news that something happened."
Old Carl was wearing an extremely casual long bright red down jacket and looked like an ordinary old man guarding the door. Once he got home, the old guy completely relaxed and didn't even pay attention to his image.
"What happened?"
Alan glanced at Old Carl impatiently, then picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
…
"About 20 minutes ago, gunshots were heard in the neighbor's house next to our manor in London. Someone called the police and the police have surrounded the place. Huth said... the servants at home said that the young duke went out in the morning with a rifle wrapped in newspaper."
"oh???"
Allen was stunned at first, then he suddenly thought of something and asked, "The Duke of Marlborough has been discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, it came out the day before yesterday."
"Hahaha! Damn, this old guy has come to this day?! How is James doing? Go ask someone about it. I want to know the latest news!"
"Master, Hu Te has sent someone to inquire about it. I will inform you if there is any news later."
"Well... have someone prepare some wine for me. I want to eat hot pot. I want to eat beef! Give me what you have in your hand!"
…
Hearing that James, the coward, had finally taken action, Allen was in a good mood. He put aside his worries and took advantage of the good mood to eat something.
While waiting for the servants to prepare, Alan picked up the second half financial report estimates and looked through them.
The official financial report is estimated to be compiled in mid-January, but the difference between this estimated version and the official data will not be too big.
As usual, he flipped to the end and looked at the total revenue. Alan blinked and looked at the data printed on the paper, almost thinking it was a typo.
"This is... 370 million US dollars? Pure profit? How can it be so much?"
Alan remembered that the profit in the first half of the year was only tens of millions. At that time, it was estimated that the profit in the second half of the year would at least double or triple, which was enough to make him happy. Now, looking at the profit that has increased five or six times, he is a little unable to react.
"Master... you don't know how popular our medicine is in America. It was only a small event in the first half of the year. And that's... it's still subject to our production restrictions. We haven't released it for sale yet. Some agents want to pay for the goods in advance!"
"oh?!"
When Alan thought about the fact that his small pharmaceutical company had finally made a fortune and would bring him $300 million every year, no... it was far more than $300 million in revenue, his heart...
It was brought up instantly!
With so much money, will the Americans be jealous?
"How's the question I asked you about the plane going last time?"
"Ah? Oh... I got in touch..."
"You don't need to tell me the details. I want their biggest and best plane. Please help me choose the modification plan. Order two more. I will fly one, be on duty on one, and maintain one!"
"???"
Originally, Allen thought it would be enough to order a plane first, but now... the money was a bit too much, and he had to reluctantly cut his own flesh to pay the protection fee.
Order three first and spend the money later.
…
1995 was destined to be an uneasy year. At the beginning of the new year, the Ayme War, which had been lively for half a month, had just ended with Prime Minister Major being completely silenced. Before the British masses could react, another piece of news shocked the whole of Britain.
The Sun first published a sensational report titled "The Duke of Marlborough's Family is Completely Extinct."
At the end of last year, the much-talked-about case of the Duke of Marlborough's abolition of his heirs had already revealed its final result before the trial even began.
The young Duke James broke into the Duke of Marlborough's mansion with a gun and shot three servants, the Duke of Marlborough himself, his three-year-old half-brother, and his stepmother who was a dozen years younger than him.
After doing all this, Duke James calmly called the police at the scene, and then committed suicide on the spot in front of dozens of police officers and reporters.
The last words left by the young Duke James, who had been a coward all his life, to the world were that there were no cowards in the Duke of Marlborough's family, and he, James, was not a coward either!
The Duke of Marlborough family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, ended on December 30, 1994.
The royal family sent people to investigate thoroughly for two days before announcing the news to the public at the beginning of the new year.
Is this the nth noble family to be completely extinct in the past ten years?
Many nobles who received the news felt a bit sad, wondering why the father and son had come to this point.
This is a case of father and son killing each other. The cruelest scene in the world actually happened!
The reason why many people sympathize with the Duke of Marlborough is that he is old and...
The old duke was severely beaten by the Earl of Wales some time ago, and he was discharged from the hospital just a few days ago... and he went to see God right after that. If he had known this would happen, he would have rather not been discharged from the hospital.
…
At the end of January, King Gustav personally sent Prince Bertil and Princess Madeleine back to Wales for their winter vacation.
Gustav was stunned the first time he saw Allen.
In the past, Alan was always energetic, rebellious, carefree, and heroic. It has only been a short time since we last saw him, why is he so... decadent now?
"What are you doing? What happened?"
"Let's go to the restaurant to welcome you first."
Alan didn't want to say more to Gustav. Besides... there were some things that he couldn't help with even if he told him. He was just a king. Apart from occasionally going out for visits and receiving guests, he didn't have much to do normally.
Huh?
Thinking of this, Alan paused and turned to look at Gustav, who still had a worried look on his face.
This guy is a real king, and the king of Europe. Theoretically, if Gustav is willing, he can invite some foreign dignitaries to visit Sweden.
Then...by analogy, if Gustav invites the King of Qatar to visit Sweden, would that be feasible?
…
Gustav looked at Alan who was staring at him and felt a little uneasy.
"Lao Gu, I heard that you like Cantonese food from China?"
"How do you know that?"
Gustav turned his head in the direction of Alan's gaze and saw his little daughter who was lowering her head with an embarrassed look on her face.
This little girl...how come she tells all the secrets to others?
"Haha, that's perfect. I have a Chinese chef at home. I'll ask them to make another Chinese meal. Let's not eat yet. Come with me to the study. I have some questions I want to ask you."
