America 1881: Legend of the West

Harriman's driver was indeed wronged.

The "Little Rockefeller" he saw at the door of the Masonic Salon was John D. Rockefeller's younger brother, Danny Rockefeller, who had disappeared in the West.

Chen Jianqiu first met him in a bar in Denver more than ten years ago.

At that time, Boss Chen happened to have attended a party of the Western Silver Association and planned to go to the pub for a couple of drinks before returning to Roswell.

Then his attention was drawn to Danny, who was drinking at the bar.

Chen Jianqiu had a chance encounter with Rockefeller Jr. when he and Astor were digging up the land in Roswell.

The cowboy drinking in front of him looked too much like someone he had met before.

Even though this man is now full of beard and dirty, he looks like a cowboy who has just emerged from the stable.

But the hands of this man holding the wine glass didn't look like they had been dealing with cows and horses all year round.

Danny also spotted the Chinese man not far away who was paying attention to him.

He immediately put down his glass, threw a few coins on the bar, then turned and walked out of the tavern through the back door.

Danny returned to the farm where he lived, packed up his belongings and walked out of the house, preparing to run away.

But he saw Chen Jianqiu sitting at the wooden table in front of the room.

A shiny golden revolver was placed on the table, the bullet cylinder was disassembled aside, and the bullets stood in a row next to the pistol.

Chen Jianqiu took out a piece of cloth and a small bottle of gun oil from his pocket.

He picked up the gun parts on the table and began to wipe them with a cloth.

Danny's man touched his waist meaningfully.

"If I were you, I wouldn't think about pulling out that gun." Chen Jianqiu continued to clean the gun without raising his head, "I don't want to open more holes in your body."

"Although this place is in the suburbs, you fired the gun. If you want to leave easily, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Danny caught a glimpse of another revolver on Chen Jianqiu's waist, and then looked at the other cowboys who were surrounding him in the distance.

"You've just come to the west, haven't you? Brother?" Chen Jianqiu cleaned the gun, then assemble it at a speed that Danny couldn't see clearly, and started stuffing bullets into it one by one.

"This farm was originally inhabited by a group of Chinese, but they later moved away. As for what happened at that time, you can ask."

Chen Jianqiu looked at the familiar houses around him with some emotion.

He pointed at the cowboys who stopped a few dozen meters away from here, lingered, and stopped to watch:

"If you expect them to keep you safe, you're probably overthinking it."

These cowboys were able to survive in the West because they had developed a skill.

They can tell who is easy to mess with and who is not easy to mess with.

"Do we have any holiday?" Danny asked, squinting his eyes.

"No, but my suggestion to you is that you can sit down and talk."

Chen Jianqiu put the gun back into its holster and pointed at the chair opposite the table.

"What is your relationship to Rockefeller Jr.? John D. Rockefeller II."

"I don't know him." Danny shook his head, "I've never heard of that name."

"Is there anyone in Cleveland who doesn't know Rockefeller?"

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the letters "Cleveland" in the lower right corner of Danny's bag.

"Are they famous?" Danny was still trying to muddle through, speaking perfunctorily, but his mind was running fast, thinking of ways.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know you. I'm just a little interested in your appearance."

When Chen Jianqiu saw that Danny was still pretending to be stupid and cute, he knew that his inner guess was probably the same.

This man has a close relationship with the Rockefeller family.

"I have a bit of a relationship with Mr. Rockefeller. Although it's not a deep relationship, I believe he is also very interested in this matter. There is a man who looks very much like his son."

"I am his son."

Danny knew that it was impossible for him to escape unscathed today, so he confessed.

"Eh? Why do I remember that Rockefeller only had one son?" Chen Jianqiu was a little surprised.

In his impression, Rockefeller Jr. was the only son in the family, with several older sisters.

"I am an illegitimate child and was just deprived of the Rockefeller surname." Danny's voice deepened.

hiss~

Chen Jianqiu couldn't help but take a breath.

Unexpectedly, a Puritan like old Rockefeller, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also engaged in the business of cleaning up guns and misfiring.

"It seems like you have quite a story. You might as well sit down and tell it to me. Maybe I can help you."

Chen Jianqiu took out a small steel wine jar from nowhere and placed it on the table.

I have wine, do you have a story?

Danny put down his bag and sat down opposite Chen Jianqiu.

He told Chen Jianqiu about his affairs.

However, the version of the story is different from what Rockefeller told Eva at home.

Danny is the illegitimate son of old Rockefeller and a hotel waitress.

Old Rockefeller gave the woman a sum of money, took Danny over, and adopted Laura as his mother.

However, due to Danny's shady background, there has been no high-profile publicity to the outside world.

Danny didn't know what the old man was thinking. It seemed that his feelings for him were extremely complicated.

But one thing he understood was that the future of this family belonged to Rockefeller Jr., because no matter how good he performed, the old man would knock him from time to time, and at the same time he would not give him a good look.

But Danny didn't give up.

After another suspected act of forced uterus occurred, the old Rockefeller finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The father and son had a big quarrel.

Danny left in anger, and the old Rockefeller never mentioned his son.

"Silly, it would be nice to work at a family foundation and earn a salary and sleep flat." Chen Jianqiu curled his lips, "You see, I don't have this opportunity. I get up early every day in the dark, and as soon as I open my eyes, there are a group of people wanting to eat."

"You can't understand how an illegitimate child can survive in that family." Danny's voice was low. "Because of that money, my biological mother disowned me. I had no choice but to get ahead."

"Then why are you running to the west incognito now?" Chen Jianqiu was a little confused.

"There's not much hope." Danny sighed, "Besides, I don't dare to stay with my father anymore."

"If you have seen what my father did, you will know that you never know what he will do, even to your own loved ones," he added.

Chen Jianqiu was noncommittal.

Danny seems to have a deep resentment towards his father, but at the same time he doesn't see through his father.

The old Rockefeller would most likely not be able to do something more extreme to his family; and his feelings for Danny were not as simple as he thought.

However, what does this have to do with him, Chen Jianqiu?

"Maybe I can help you." Chen Jianqiu handed the wine to Danny, "I can help you regain the power of the Rockefeller family."

"You?" Danny picked up the wine can and glanced at Chen Jianqiu suspiciously.

"Yes, but you need to prepare a lot of things, and at the same time, you have to wait for a good time."

Chen Jianqiu said.

"But before that, I would suggest that you move to Roswell, where you at least don't have to worry about the various threats from the west."

"Why are you helping me?" Danny asked.

"I need someone who can communicate with me normally to join the Rockefeller family." Chen Jianqiu said bluntly.

"make a deal!"

After a moment of silence, Danny tilted his neck and drank most of the bottle of wine.
