chapter 8 Durand visits

In the office, he used his status as police chief to retrieve files about Remedio.

And Martina Clark, and everything in Yunshang Nightclub!

As he expected, Remedio was like a ghost in the entire archives.

Except for such a simple name, all other contents are blank...

Durand thought for a moment.

Since Remedio and Martina Clark have a close relationship, as long as they find Martina Clark, they will most likely be able to find Remedio!

After recording all the properties registered in Martina Clark's name, Durand didn't bother and went to look for them one by one.

While working through connections, he found someone to help him call out the surveillance cameras near the Yun Commercial Association.

…

It was late at night.

After returning home, Remedio sat quietly on the sofa and used the breathing method taught to him by the old man to suppress ALS.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Hello... Is Mr. Remedio here?"

The vicissitudes of life and some hoarse sounds came from outside the door. The sound was not loud, but Remedio could hear it clearly.

And I also heard the voice of the person who came, it was the police chief Durand I saw tonight!

outside the door.

Durand whole body tensed up.

He held on to his last hope, hoping that the door in front of him would open for him.

A quiet neighborhood, and it was still late at night.

Durand knocked on the door with low force, but it was still very loud.

Not only Remedio in the house, but also Martina Clark, who was lying on the bed unable to sleep, heard a clear knock on the door.

The two happened to live across from each other.

Martina Clark thought someone was looking for her, so she got up and walked to the door. When she looked through the peephole, she found a tall figure facing Remedio's door.

It's so late, who else can find Remedio?

Martina Clark frowned slightly.

But that back view looked familiar to her.

When Durand turned his head slightly and revealed his side face, Martina Clark almost shouted in shock.

It turned out to be Durand!

'Why did Durand come to Remedio at such a late hour? And he came directly to the house? '

Countless questions linger in my mind.

Thinking of Durand inexplicable "frightening" tonight, even if Martina Clark had doubts in her heart, she couldn't really believe that Remedio was responsible for it. .

Now it seems that it is true...

With such skill, and being able to make the police chief run away just by looking at him, what is the identity of this man?

War criminal? Just got out of jail?

An eighteen-year-old girl wouldn’t believe these words!

Before Remedio opened the door, Martina Clark dialed her home phone while staring at the situation in the corridor.

I called my father, whom I had not contacted for a long time.

Martina Clark's father, Wynton Clark, was quite surprised when he first received a call from his daughter.

But when he heard that his daughter actually took the initiative to inquire about the marriage certificate, the tone on the phone suddenly turned cold.

"Martina, after your grandfather passed away, the matter of the marriage certificate has been discontinued."

"But there is one thing I think you should remember very clearly. It is also your grandfather's will!"

"Once someone comes with a marriage certificate, all our the Clark Family can do is agree unconditionally!"Wynton Clark said sternly.

Being able to create such a huge the Clark Family single-handedly, Old Mr. Clark is no ordinary person!

And how dare Wynton Clark ignore the marriage document that he valued so much!

Martina Clark has been willful since she was a child.

Even when she took the initiative to leave the family and start a business, Wynton Clark didn't object at all.

Instead, as a father, he does his best to support his daughter in building her own business.

But now, Wynton Clark is afraid that someone will come with the marriage certificate, and Martina Clark will continue to be willful!

Thinking of this, Wynton Clark asked anxiously: "Martina Clark! Has someone brought a marriage certificate?"

After Martina Clark heard what her father said, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Faced with her father's problem, she didn't know whether she should admit it now.

At this time, Remedio had already opened the door and let Durand in.

Martina Clark thought for a moment and replied: "No, I just suddenly remembered this matter and asked you. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to bed."

Wynton Clark stern reply came from the other end of the phone, "Martina Clark, I'm warning you, don't mess around!"

Martina Clark didn't answer anymore and hung up the call.

The last time I saw my grandfather was when I was a minor.

But now, something unexpected happened...

As for her father who lied to her, Martina Clark felt that her marriage to Remedio was unnecessary and wanted her family to interfere with it.

She glanced at the closed door opposite.

after all……

She was now more and more interested in this man.

…

Remedio sat on the sofa, frowning slightly, looking at the upright man standing in front of him.

He looked nervous.

Martina Clark also asked him about Durand , but he didn't know what was going on.

"Have you seen me?"Remedio said calmly.

Fine beads of sweat already overflowed on Durand forehead.

He replied respectfully: "King, I was the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 21st Northern Regiment! Three years ago, you put down the war in the Northern Territory. I was injured and retired from the army."

"At that time, he was favored by the Lee Family and provided with resources and support. He was appointed as the police chief of Shanghai City half a year ago."

"I'm going to take the initiative to resign. I just hope... that you can spare my life."

Remedio didn't answer and frowned slightly.

As time passed by, Durand swallowed nervously several times, and a large amount of sweat dripped down his face.

Finally, Remedio slowly shook his head and said, "You don't have to do this at all."

"If you resign, you can go to your leader."

"As for sparing my life? Let alone that."

"I am just a war criminal who has just been released from prison. How can I deserve your visit?"

In the first two sentences, Durand's expression was relatively tense, but after hearing the last sentence, his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground paralyzed.

The reputation of the King in the North is great, and the reputation of war criminals is equally great!

Everyone who was in the north knew very well how Remedio paid for his mistakes in the end——

It was he who gave away all his military achievements and went to court-martial!

But is Remedio really wrong?

He has done enough for the North!

If there were no Remedio, the northern border might still be in chaos for decades more!

What he carried, what he endured, and what he endured are not things that can be forgotten once his military exploits are gone!

He is still the King of the North!

Durand hands were shaking slightly. He wanted to beg Remedio for forgiveness again.

But he also knew very well that since Remedio had said so, the matter could be considered over.

In the end, it's just your choice.

"If nothing happens, just go back. It's time for me to rest."

Remedio stood up slowly and gave the order to withdraw.

"As for you...there are so many corrupt officials in the world. I can't control them even if I care."

"I won't send it."

Remedio was about to enter the bedroom.

Durand hurriedly spoke, his voice trembling and a little staccato:

"King... I will take the initiative to resign and leave Hucheng, return to the border, give up all future fame and fortune, and guard the border in this life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength!

The higher the position, the clearer it is to know how much courage it takes to give up everything in front of you.

However, Durand knows very well that life is more important!

The so-called rights are nothing but floating clouds. You must at least have a life to enjoy them.

Remedio paused at the door of the bedroom and did not answer. He just walked back to the bedroom calmly.

Seeing this, Durand finally let out a sigh of relief.

He understood that this was the best outcome for him.

…

at the same time.

Another call came into Martina Clark cell phone.

She thought it was her father who was warning her again, but after looking at the call notification, Martina Clark smiled from the bottom of her heart.

It's her best friend, Nicola.

After answering the phone, Martina Clark joked: "Isn't this my Dr. Jiang? You called me so late. Could it be that you miss a man?"

However, what came from the other side of the phone was Nicola urgent shouting.

"Martina Clark, Martina Clark! Come to the hospital quickly! Ward 1307!"
