It was late at night, and Gerard, wearing a robe made of silk,
Was in his study when he saw the message handed to him by his butler.
He flipped it open and read a few times, his expression became more and more fierce,
And said in a cold voice: “I have searched for so many years without finding any clues about him,”
“But I never thought that this son of a b!tch would hide in Chinatown and open a restaurant!”
“And the way he looks now, he looks really fcuking bad!”
“Even if I saw him face to face, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have recognized him!”
The butler was busy saying, “Master, this man, is really well hidden,”
“It is said that he has hardly shaved for more than twenty years,”
“His hair has also grown a bit longer, and his temperament has also been a lot more restrained,”
“If it wasn’t for the police investigating his profile over in the United States this time,”
“It would be really hard for us to find his trail.”
Gerard frowned and asked, “Why did the U.S. police investigate him?”
“Did he commit a crime in the United States?”
Butler said, “My informant told me that those things happened in New York two days ago,”
“The police seem to have suspected him, plus he is illegal in the United States,”
“The U.S. police found a way to check his identity, and then looked for his previous information from this side of Hong Kong.”
Liu gritted his teeth and said, “This dead pouncer, I always thought that with his intelligence,”
“He would definitely go to buy a new identity, continue to do what he is best in finance or stocks,”
“Find a way to rise again, but I did not expect him to run such a raggedy roast goose store, really fcuking sgum!”
Gerard is actually not as he seems, or as he looks in the eyes of outsiders so gentle and elegant.
At heart, he is actually an extremely small-minded and vindictive person.
For Hogan, he has never given up his desire to kill for so many years.
It’s just that Hogan hides very well and for so many years,
He has not been able to find him out.
And his beloved woman came back from the United States that year,
The years of his life in the United States are also silent, Gerard several times wanted to ask,
The other party did not speak, and even put out the word,
As long as he no longer pursues Hogan, she will peacefully guard him for life,
So he could only stifle the desire to pursue.
The woman was really in love with him, and eventually, he can only give up the pursuit.
However, he never gave up trying to finish off Hogan.
So, he also talked to his woman about letting Hogan live as long as he kept his promise,
And never returned to Hong Kong.
But.
Right now, there was a perfect opportunity for him to not break his promise and get what he wanted at the same time.
So, after reading that information, he sneered and spoke,
“Since the American police know that he is an illegal immigrant,”
“Then according to the American law, the police should deport him, right?”
“Yes.” The housekeeper said, “Under normal circumstances, he should be repatriated to wherever he came from,”
“He left from Hong Kong, so if he is repatriated, he must be repatriated to Hong Kong.”
Gerard nodded and smiled playfully, “Joshua, I don’t care what method you use, make sure the American police repatriate him back to Hong Kong!”
“Then you send out word to all the gang leaders in advance that Hogan Chen will be back soon,”
“And that my $30 million offer is still valid! Whoever kills him, the 30 million will be his!”
Saying that Gerard added: “By the way, turn the 30 million from Hong Kong dollars into US dollars!”
Butler busy said, “Master, you promised Mr. Wade at that time, and later promised Philip,”
“Mrs. side you also promised, if you really kill the surnamed Chen, the follow-up will not be more tricky ……”
“Afraid of what?” Gerard sneered, “I promised Mr. Wade, promised Philip Gu,”
“Also promised the wife to let him go, but I let him go on the premise that he can not return to Hong Kong in this life!”
“If he came back, even if he did not come back voluntarily and was repatriated by the Americans, then he came back!”
“Then, since he has come back, no one can blame me for being ruthless!”
The housekeeper instantly dawned on him and said offhandedly, “Master, this move of yours …… is really high!”
Meanwhile, New York’s Chinatown.
Because it was lunchtime, Hogan’s restaurant was doing good business.
Just the two of them, he and his mate, were already busy.
However, Hogan had been quietly surveying outside the door while he was waiting for his customers.
Because, he found that since this morning, there was always a car parked across the road in front of his store.
Although the other side changed four cars, also changed a different location,
But Hogan can still see that these four cars choose the location, although different,
But all can see his roast goose store’s front door.
This made his heart vaguely apprehensive.
He knew that the New York police must be on to him.
Being watched by the police made Hogan’s heart inevitably nervous.
The mate could see that something was wrong with him and hurriedly went up to him and asked,
“Uncle Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing ……” Hogan smiled sarcastically and said, “You go ahead and get busy, don’t worry about me.”
The partner nodded gently and said, “If you’re tired, go down and rest for a while, I can do it alone.”
Hogan nodded gratefully but did not intend to leave.
At this time, the car across the road suddenly started and drove away.
Hogan had thought that the other side would soon change to another car to come to the rotation,
But he did not expect that after this car had gone, there were no other suspicious vehicles.
This makes him a little relieved.
But soon, his brow was furrowed again.
He immediately took off his sleeves and apron and said to the mate,
“Jordan, put up the suspension of business, close the door directly after the customers leave, and then come find me downstairs.”
The mate didn’t know why he was suddenly so anxious, he nodded and said, “Okay Uncle Chen I got it!”
After Hogan finished speaking, he went to the basement alone,
There were two rooms downstairs, which were his and his mate Jordan’s bedrooms respectively.
Hogan returned to his room, the first thing he did was to start packing his luggage,
He only selected the most important things for himself and put them into the suitcase,
Other than that, he didn’t even pack a change of clothes.
Half an hour later, he packed a modest suitcase.
The mate, Jordan, walked down the stairs quickly and said at the door,
“Uncle Chen, the guests have all left, I’ve closed the door.”
“Good.” Hogan said, “Jordan come in.”
“Okay.” Jordan pushed open the door and just walked into the bedroom,
He found Hogan packing his things, so he was surprised and asked, “Uncle Chen, where are you going?”
Hogan looked at him and said, “Jordan, I may have to return to Hong Kong in the near future,”
“After I leave, this store will be handed over to you,”
“My little craft, you have almost learned over the years,”
“From now on you should run this store well, life should not be too difficult.”
Jordan asked in surprise, “Uncle Chen …… you ……”
“How can you go back to Hong Kong? That Liu surname will kill you. ……”
Hogan smiled slightly: “I am illegally staying in the United States, considered an illegal immigrant,”
“Since the police have found me, it is estimated that it can not be too long before I am deported,”
“Even if I do not want to go, but I can not help it.”
Jordan said, “Uncle Chen, you can’t just wait to be deported back!”
“Why don’t you leave New York and hide for a while?”
“No.” Hogan waved his hand and said indifferently,
“I’m tired of hiding for more than twenty years,”
“If I continue to hide like this, I’ll despise myself.”
After that, Hogan looked at Jordan and said seriously, “I’ve always wanted to go back,”
“But I can’t muster up the courage, so I’d better take this opportunity to go back and help me make a decision.”
Jordan said nervously, “Uncle Chen! You can live if you hide!”
“In case Liu doesn’t want to let you go, you’ll be dead if you go back!”
Hogan laughed, “Even if he wants me dead, he has to wait for the right time,”
“He can’t just kill me at customs when I’ve just been repatriated back, right?”
“Besides, I am repatriated to Hong Kong, the customs officers must take me there to go through a process,”
“I believe that even if Liu is capable, he would not dare to make a move on me at customs,”
“So that I can notify my family in advance, and they can come to customs to see me,”
“As long as I can meet with my family, even if he kills me right out of the gate, I will accept it.”
Speaking of this, he smiled faintly, and said, “Jordan, in this matter you do not need to persuade me,”
“I have my own decision, you just run this roast goose store, the rest, do not worry about me.”
Jordan choked with red eyes and said, “Uncle Chen …… I don’t want to run the roast goose store,”
“I just want to follow your side and be an honest little runner ……”
Jordan has a very strong bond with Hogan.
He was originally a Chinese from Southeast Asia, his parents went down to the South Seas to work earlier,”
“But met with some local unrest, so they smuggled him to the United States with a young one,”
“Intending to put down roots in the United States.
However, the boat used by the snakeheads to transport them hit a reef and sank when it was close to the U.S. coastline,”
“And a boat with dozens of illegal immigrants drowned a large number of people.
Both of Jordan’s parents were buried at sea in that disaster,
While the young one was relying on a small piece of plank, floating at sea for several hours,
And was finally saved by the man who sailed the boat.
In that accident, those who survived were such young half-grown children as Jordan,
And it was the parents who gave the child the floating object that could save his life so that the child could survive.
The person who sailed the boat, like Hogan, are stowaways or illegally stay in the United States,
These people are usually considered to help each other and have a small circle of their own.
When several children were rescued back to New York, these illegal people got together to have a meeting.
They felt that the children’s situation was so miserable that if they were not taken in,
They would either starve to death on the streets or be repatriated by the government,
Or sent to an orphanage, so after discussion, those who could afford it adopted an orphan.
Jordan was adopted by Hogan.
He was just ten years old when he was brought back to this roast goose store, but now, he is twenty-two years old.
Since he had no legal status, Hogan opened the store and taught Jordan to study at the same time,
And then Jordan started to help him do what he could in the back kitchen.
After he became an adult, he simply worked directly in the roast goose store as a fellow.
Jordan was very grateful for Hogan’s kindness, and always treated him as his father,
And even made up his mind long ago that he would follow Hogan’s side and help him in his life,
And when he was old, he would die for him.
But how could he have imagined that Hogan would now decide to return to Hong Kong to die?
Hogan saw that his eyes were red and tears were flowing, so he smiled and said:
“Jordan, I have no children, since you came here,”
“I have been making roast goose in the back kitchen all these years,”
“Never hiding my skills in front of you, I believe you have also learned my skills,”
“As long as the police are not looking for you, you should run this store well,”
“Save more money, and if you have the opportunity, go back, if you have a chance,”
“You can go back to Southeast Asia to get your original identity back,”
“hen marry and have children and settle down.”
After that, he looked at Jordan and smiled slightly:
“Of course, if I’m lucky enough not to die this time,”
“You can also come to Hong Kong to find me in the future!”
It was afternoon.
In order to be able to stagger the entrance time with grandpa’s family,
Charlie deliberately took Claire and arrived at the concert venue early.
At this time, there are already many fans waiting anxiously inside and outside the arena,
And the arena has not yet reached the time to start entering, so these fans will be surrounding the arena.
The good thing is that the venue originally has a VIP channel,
There are special security personnel outside the channel to maintain order, so there is no fan interference here.
Before arriving at the venue, Charlie gave a greeting to Sara’s agent Tasha in advance,
When his car just arrived at the entrance of the VIP channel, the security guard saw the license plate,
Without any inquiry then directly opened the car blocker to let it in.
This VIP channel is like a sunken tunnel, after the car drove in,
Basically, it is equal to driving into the stadium’s underground location,
And this channel is completely straight, from the entrance down,
You can see the opposite distant light through the exit,
And the VIP reception is in the middle of this channel.
The advantage of the VIP channel is so designed that it is to ensure the maximum possible security of VIPs,
The entire channel can be seen very clearly at a glance that it is surrounded by smooth concrete walls,
No one can hide in this channel at any point.
The VIP reception in the middle of the channel, in fact, is a recessed piece of parking,
Under normal circumstances, VIP vehicles parked directly here to enter the venue interior,
And are very convenient for walking as well.
Tasha was standing at the edge of the parking lot waiting, saw Charlie drive in, and hurriedly waved to his car.
Charlie responded by flashing his headlights, and then parked his car in the parking lot,
Under the guidance of Tasha’s hand gestures.
There were already several business cars parked in the parking lot,
And Charlie recognized at a glance that it was Sara’s convoy.
Claire was a little surprised at this time and asked, “Honey, where are we?”
Charlie laughed: “VIP channel, let’s watch the show in the VIP box tonight.”
Claire was surprised and asked, “Why are you watching in a box? It must have cost a lot of money, right?”
Charlie laughed: “Miss Gu’s concert did not sell boxes to the public this time,
“So the boxes above are basically all empty and free for us to use,”
“And we can go to the boxes to watch the show this can save the organizers two tickets inside,”
“After all, she has so many fans, two more tickets will be able to allow two more people.”
Claire nodded gently, and then followed him out of the car.
As soon as Tasha saw Charlie, she very politely went forward and said, “Master Wade, you are here.”
After saying that, she looked at Claire and smiled, “Hello Mrs. Wade, we meet again.”
Back when Charlie had just reunited with Sara and brought Claire to have dinner with her,
Tasha had met Claire at the dinner table before.
Claire also had an impression of her and hurriedly said,
“Hello, Miss Chen! I’ve given you trouble this time.”
“No, no, not at all” Tasha said in a serious manner,
“Master Wade has helped us so much, it is us who have caused trouble for Master Wade.”
Tasha said, “Mrs. Wade, during this period of time, we have been giving Master Wade a hard time,”
“To run to New York because of feng shui matters, so we have delayed his time with you, you must not mind.”
Claire didn’t know she was saying that on purpose, so she said,
“Miss Chen is very kind, this is also my husband’s job, it’s all right.”
Tasha smiled faintly and nodded gently.
In fact, she still had a lot of double entendre or meaningful words to say to Claire,
But she also knew in her heart that she could not be too reckless in front of Charlie,
So she stopped at the point and said with a smile,
“Master Wade, Mrs. Wade, let me take you two to the VIP box first.”
Charlie saw that Tasha also knew to take it as it came,
So he didn’t bother with her much in his heart and said blandly, “It’s hard for Miss Chen.”
“I should, I should.” Tasha smilingly took Charlie and Claire from the VIP channel,
And directly took the elevator to the top floor.
Because of the large scale of the venue, the location of the VIP box was,
Basically already about as high as seven or eight floors,
And this entire upper area was the VIP area of the venue.
Here, the entrances and exits, as well as various facilities and passages,
Are completely isolated from the audience in the arena below, greatly ensuring the privacy of the VIPs.
As for tonight’s concert, it is only Charlie, Claire, and the members of An family in the two VIP boxes only,
Other boxes are not open to the public, so the staff on this floor is also very small,
Only at the entrance and exit with security guards, after coming in is all empty, can not see any staff.
This is done by Sara deliberately, after all, Charlie himself likes being low-profile,
And the An family is also a very high-profile public figure,
Privacy must have sufficient, the less staff, the more it can reduce exposure.
Tasha brought Charlie and Claire to the middle position of the box,
The door opened, and inside is almost a hotel luxury suite.
Once inside, there was a luxurious meeting room with a mini-bar.
The table of the mini-bar was already full of fresh fruits, desserts, and snacks,
While the wine rack at the back was also full of a wide range of high-end drinks.
Through the minibar, there are two sets of sofas sitting opposite each other in the central position,
And further ahead after the parlor, there are two rows of sofas facing the floor-to-ceiling windows,
Which are the area for watching the show.
Tasha introduced to Charlie and Claire: “Master Wade, Mrs. Wade, the boxes here have special soundproofing measures,
“So the people next door will not cause any interference to you,”
“And the floor-to-ceiling windows in front are one-way glass,”
“So there is no need to worry about the outside seeing the inside.”
Claire said with some concern, “Miss Chen, the sound insulation here is so good,”
“And there is such a large piece of glass, then listening to the concert from inside will not be affected right?”
Claire is Sara’s faithful iron fan, for her, to see Sara’s concert,
The most important thing is the audio-visual effect, in case the audio-visual effect is greatly reduced,
Even in the luxury VIP room, it will definitely be very regrettable.
Tasha saw Claire’s concern, pointing to the upper left and right corners of the floor-to-ceiling windows,
As well as the sides and top of the sofa, and said to her:
“Mrs. Wade need not worry about the audio-visual effect like you just said,”
“The box has soundproofing measures, and the front glass is also thicker,”
“So from here to see the performance, the sound of the outside audio will indeed weaken a lot,”
“Therefore, the box is installed with a 7.4.4 embedded panoramic sound system,”
“Te audio of the live performance will be played directly through the audio system,”
“Which can effectively filter the noise of the audience,”
“The effect of immersive experience is better, and the volume is also adjustable,”
“The overall audio-visual effect will be better than the infield.”
Claire breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then I’m relieved ……”
Tasha nodded and said to the two people: “Master Wade, Mrs. Wade, our staff prepared the drinks and desserts in advance,”
“There are also bathrooms inside the box, so after the show starts, for your viewing experience,”
“The waiters will not take the initiative to come to the door if you have any needs,”
“You can directly press the call bell, our staff will come to you,”
“In addition also please try not to go out during the performance,”
“There is no staff stationed outside, the performance began and it will be too noisy,”
“In case there is any unexpected situation, it may be difficult to respond in time.”
Charlie knew that Tasha was implicitly reminding Claire not to go out as much as possible,
As for Charlie himself, non-essential circumstances will certainly not go out,
So as to avoid the possibility of meeting with Grandma’s family as much as possible.
Claire, who knew Tasha’s intention, said almost without thinking,
“Miss Chen don’t worry, we are not going anywhere.”
Tasha smiled faintly, then looked at the time and said,
“There are some VIPs sitting in the next box tonight, they will arrive in ten minutes,”
“I have to go and receive them, so I won’t bother you two anymore.”
Claire nodded and said, “If Miss Chen has something to do, go and get busy, don’t mind us.”
“Okay.” Tasha nodded and said to Charlie again, “Mr. Wade, then I will go out first.”
After she left, Charlie sat down on the sofa in the meeting area,
Thinking that his grandparents would arrive in ten minutes,
His heart was once again filled with nervousness and apprehension.
Claire saw that Charlie’s state was not right, so she sat beside him and asked with concern:
“What’s wrong with you, husband? Are you not feeling well?”
Charlie smiled faintly and said,
“These days always running back and forth between two places, maybe I am a little tired.”
Claire said somewhat self-critical: “If I had known we would not have driven here,”
“You must have been quite tired driving all the way, and accompanied me everywhere ……”
After saying that, she hurriedly said: “We will not go anywhere tomorrow,”
“Just take a good rest in the hotel, I’ll drive back tomorrow.”
Charlie laughed: “No, I’ll rest for a while, don’t you worry.”
Claire thought Charlie was trying to be strong, so she took his hand and said softly,
“Honey, if you feel tired in the future, tell me in advance,”
“We can change any plan, but the body must be put first.”
Charlie nodded gently and smiled, “Don’t worry wife, I know.”
Claire slightly leaned on Charlie’s shoulder and whispered,
“Let’s turn down the sound a little later, if you are tired, you can sleep here for a while.”
Charlie saw Claire so concerned about him, and also can’t help but be a little touched,
Slightly swept her up in his arms, the heart also felt a lot more solid.
About ten minutes later, Charlie’s keen sense of hearing then caught noisy footsteps.
As the footsteps got closer, he heard Tasha’s voice:
“Grandpa, Grandma, this is the box arranged for you all tonight!”
At this time, he heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice,
His grandmother said with a very gentle smile,
“Thank you little Chen, also help us thank Sara, this time certainly it is no less trouble for you!”
Although he hadn’t heard his grandmother’s voice again for many years, Charlie still recognized it at once.
His body also involuntarily shook because of Grandma’s voice,
And Claire on the side hurriedly raised her head and asked, “What’s wrong with you, husband?”
Charlie was slightly stunned, then calmed down a bit and said in a hurry,
“Nothing, I almost fell asleep just now ……”
At this moment, Charlie’s attention was almost entirely on his grandparents who were a wall away from him.
He heard Tasha say in a respectful tone to his grandmother,
“Grandma you must not be so polite, you are Sara’s grandmother,”
“You and Grandpa could come to see Sara’s concert, you do not know how honored we feel!”
The old lady said with a smile, “Sara is now one of the most well-known stars in the world,”
“It’s us who are honored to come to her concert.”
The old man on the side also couldn’t help but sigh:
“To be able to bring a concert to America and still have such a strong appeal,”
“Miss Gu is indeed considered the light of the Chinese.”
The old lady said, “What Miss Gu, that is your future grandson-in-law’s wife,”
“Don’t call her so rudimentary, her maiden name is Sara.”
The old man said with a smile, “Yes, yes, the wife is right.”
Tasha could not help but sigh: “You two have a good relationship,”
“Unlike my grandparents, who fight every day and let no one get away.”
The old man laughed, “Then that’s your grandfather’s problem, a man,”
“To live an easy life as he wishes must give in to his wife’s mouth.”
“Yes!” Tasha laughed, “When I go back, I will tell him your trick, so he can learn it well!”
While laughing, Tasha brought the An family into the box,”
“And after introducing the general situation of the box to them, she said to the crowd,
“The show won’t start for another forty minutes, so you can take a break,”
“Now the audience is going to start entering, I will go over to see if there is anything I can help with,”
“If you need anything, just press the call bell to call the service staff or give me a call.”
Charlie’s grandmother said smilingly, “It’s hard for you dear,”
“If you have other things to do, go ahead and get busy, don’t mind us.”
Saying that the old lady remembered something, and hurriedly asked,
“Right, Tasha, after the performance, is it convenient for Sara to have time?”
“If it’s convenient, we’ll wait to meet with her, if she’s not convenient, then we won’t bother much.”
Tasha was busy saying, “Convenient, Sara instructed me to tell you all that after the show,”
“You can wait for her in the box for a while if you are not in a hurry to leave,”
“She will come over after she finishes her business.”
“Okay!” The old lady said with a smile, “Then we’ll wait for her here after the show.”
All these conversations were heard word for word by Charlie.
He knew that Sara comes over to see his grandparents after the performance,
Partly it is out of respect, and partly for her own consideration.
The reason is that she is worried that after the performance,
He and Claire might meet up with Grandma’s family when they leave, so she deliberately arranged this.
After the show, grandmother’s family will naturally wait for Sara in the box,
And he can take advantage of this time to directly take Claire and leave.
In this way, although the two sides are only a wall apart from the beginning to the end,
But will not have any opportunity to face each other.
Moreover, because each box has a very strict acoustic treatment in order to achieve the best acoustics,
So the two boxes are like double sound insulation, in this case,
Even if Charlie and Claire speak loudly in the room, it is impossible to be heard next door.
Even if a martial arts expert of the Ming realm, such as Joseph, came over,
It would be impossible to hear the conversation next door.
Unless one is like Charlie, who has aura protection, one can use the pervasive aura to sense every move next door.
After Tasha left, Charlie could feel that there were a total of fourteen people in the next compartment,
And outside the door of the compartment, there were four people standing.
However, the aura is not omnipotent, although Charlie can perceive the number of people,
But can not rely on it to identify each person on the other side.
However, he could perceive that the four people outside the door were all martial arts experts,
One of the strongest had reached the level of an eight-star martial artist,
Comparable to the strength of Joseph, the other three, the weakest had the level of a six-star martial artist,
And the other two, both seven-star martial artists.
It seems that the An family’s strength is indeed extraordinary,
This configuration of bodyguards is the strongest Charlie has seen so far.
At this time, Charlie suddenly received a message from Tasha,
The message is just five words: Duncan Li is also in.
Charlie was slightly stunned, did not expect, Duncan actually would come here too.
Originally, his grandmother’s family had not seen him in the past twenty years,
But Duncan had just met with him a few days ago.
This also makes Charlie a little more cautious, as long as the show is not over,
Then in the case, something is absolutely necessary, he must not go out of this door.
Next door in the box.
The old man and the old lady were sitting on the sofa, Marshal and his wife were next to the old couple,
And opposite them sat Marcus, Martel and his wife, and, Tece, in that order.
As for Duncan, he ran straight to the bar and poured a glass of whiskey,
Sitting on a long footstool at the bar and drinking himself.
In addition to the four An siblings and Charlie’s three aunts and uncles,
The two sons of Marcus, Martel’s eldest daughter
And Tece’s twelve-year-old only daughter also came together tonight.
These offspring, all of whom are Charlie’s cousins,
Are also considered fans of Sara, so they came along from Los Angeles.
Marshal’s two daughters also like Sara, but the eldest daughter who is at Stanford studying for a doctorate,
The second daughter is studying in the United Kingdom, academically busy,
As the old man was seriously ill, they took time off to come back to accompany him,
Delayed a lot of school time, so early this morning they rushed back to school.
However, Marshal’s two daughters in the An family’s own internal family chat software,
But also specially instructed several other siblings, to try to take more concert videos for the two of them.
Although Charlie could not perceive their identities,
After listening to their small talk for a few minutes, he was able to almost identify each of them.
Among them, the eldest son of the second uncle Marcus’s family, whom he had met when he was small,
But at that time this cousin was still in infancy.
As for the eldest daughter of Martel’s family and the only daughter of his maternal aunt Tece, Charlie hadn’t met them all yet.
At this time, Marshal saw that Duncan was a bit bored drinking alone,
So he walked to the bar and sat down beside him, asking, “What, your mood hasn’t eased up a bit?”
Duncan laughed bitterly and said, “What relief, we’ve known each other for so many years,”
“You know me, and I’m really stuffed up in my heart because,”
“I haven’t had a chance to get back for such a big dumb loss!”
Marshal poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him, and said,
“Duncan, look ahead, your days as a police officer are long, but they are over.”
Duncan nodded gently and sighed: “You’re right, have to look forward ……”
Marshal asked him, “You said earlier that you wanted to go to Houston,”
“To be with your wife and children, have you told them?”
“Not yet.” Duncan laughed bitterly: “This is not still a total upset ……”
“I always feel that this case may still have a chance to come to light ……”
Marshal said seriously: “Duncan, listen to my advice, go back at night and pack your bags,”
“Set the earliest plane to Houston early tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Marshal said: “Forget it, I will arrange a plane to send you!”
Duncan’s expression is somewhat hesitant and he said: “This is too fast ……”
Marshal seriously said, “Yeah, good for you!”
Duncan couldn’t decide for a while.
He did want to leave, but he was also really reluctant.
Just at this time, his phone suddenly received a message, he opened it,
His expression quickly became excited, and quickly said to Marshal:
“You just said you will arrange a plane to send me to Houston?”
Marshal nodded and said, “That’s right, just one word from you!”
Without thinking, Duncan said, “Tonight then! I’ll go to the airport after the show!”
Marshal was surprised and asked,
“You’ve been on the ground for a long time, why are you suddenly in such a hurry again?”
Duncan grinned and said, “My daughter just sent me a message saying that she is pregnant!”
When Marshal heard the news, he also instantly became happy and said with a smile,
“No wonder your fcuking mouth is grinning to the roots of your ears,”
“So you’re going to be a grandfather!”
“Yes!” Duncan said excitedly, “The old generation said that the next generation is really the same thing!”
“Once my daughter said she is pregnant, I really don’t want to stay in New York for a fcuking minute,”
“I want to fly over tonight and give them a surprise!”
Marshal laughed, “Oh, you know how to surprise your wife and kids? Can’t you, there is progress!”
After saying that, Marshal said, “Come on, you don’t have to rub it in here,”
“I’ll have the crew get ready, you go to the airport now!”
Marshal waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter! If you tell them, they will surely understand.”
“Don’t.” Duncan whispered, “I haven’t seen the old man for such a long time,”
“So it’s hard to spend time with him, I don’t care about two more hours,”
“You say hello to the crew and I’ll go there after the show.”
Seeing his insistence, Marshal nodded and said, “Okay then,”
“I’ll talk to the crew now and let them get ready in advance.”
“Got it!” Duncan smiled heatedly and said, “Thanks, brother!”
Marshal laughed: “We are brothers, why are you so polite with me?”
After that, he immediately took out his cell phone and arranged the plane for Duncan,
Then he held a glass of wine and walked up to everyone and said with a smile,
“Mom and Dad, let me interject, Duncan is going to be a grandfather soon,”
“Let’s celebrate this with tea instead of wine!”
Hearing this, the old man said with a joyful smile,
“Yes, yes! A new baby is a great thing, you’re blessed, Duncan!”
After saying that, he picked up the teacup in front of him and said with a smile,
“Come on, I’ll drink to you, congratulations on your upcoming promotion!”
All the people also picked up the tea and drinks and said words of congratulations under their breath.
The An family has been in the United States for a long time,
From the top to the bottom, the thinking is more or less westernized,
The more obvious characteristic is that emotional management is more open,
Encounter happy things from the heart, there are no formalities if one is very happy.
Seeing that the An family is so enthusiastic about him, Duncan’s old face got red, not quite natural, said:
“Thank you all, thank you all! When the baby is born,”
“I will definitely bring it to the An family to ask for New Year’s money!”
The old man said smilingly, “Come! Be sure to come! Bring your daughter with you!”
“If the baby is a boy, I’ll have to give your daughter a big red envelope alone!”
Duncan was confused by the old man and asked,
“Uncle, how can you give a red packet to your daughter when you have a new baby in the family? Where is this saying?”
The old man said seriously: “You kid all day long, only thinking about solving the case,”
“I have to do more for your dead old man!”
After that, the old man said: “Your family has only one girl, but your Li family’s legacy can not be broken!”
“If your daughter is willing to give birth to a son with your family’s surname Li,”
“To help to continue the family line, I will definitely give them a big red envelope,”
“That will allow them to live a lifetime without worries!”
Duncan listened to the all the people for a while, then his eyes got red,
Deliberately touched the nose to cover up, said with a smile:
“Uncle, what era is this, we can not be so old feudal ……”
The old man said seriously: “Duncan, this is not feudalism, this is heritage!”
“Since ancient times, you have only heard of worshipping your own ancestors,”
“Have you heard of anyone worshipping their foreign ancestors?”
“Do you know what your grandfather’s grandfather’s surname is,”
“Do you know what it means to break off the incense?”
Duncan said: “Uncle, broken incense, that does not mean that the bloodline is broken ……”
“Then as long as this child later raises offspring, I will not pass on this bloodline?”
The old man waved his hand and said with a solemn expression,
“Duncan, the argument of breaking the incense is not that complicated, to put it bluntly,”
“It is simply that no one is lighting incense for the ancestors of this lineage,”
“To put it more bluntly, there is no one to worship!”
Duncan heard here, the tears in his eyes can no longer be taut,
Two lines of hot tears down the somewhat dark cheeks and rolled down.
He understood the meaning of the old man’s words,
And deep inside he also agreed with the old man’s philosophy.
The older generation of Chinese people who went abroad to work,
All of them wanted to have a prosperous family and children, which naturally included Duncan’s father.
But although Duncan has five sisters, he is the only male in the family.
His wife was also willing to give birth to more children for him,
But God forbid, she encountered a very serious hemorrhage during the birth of his daughter,
The doctors removed her uterus to save her life. So, Duncan only has that one daughter.
At this time, the old lady on the side saw Duncan quite a big man actually shed tears,
And quickly said to the old man: “Oh, you old feudal! What era is it now, still engage in the patriarchal set!”
After saying that, she hurriedly said to Duncan:
“Duncan, don’t listen to your Uncle’s nonsense,”
“This old feudal consciousness should have been removed long ago!”
The old man always obeyed the old lady in words, but this time he said in a stern voice without any doubt:
“If it were anyone else, I would have advised you to do the same, but for Duncan, I can’t!”
“He can think for himself no problem, but my old buddy will think,”
“I know better than anyone, he left early, I am a brother, I have to make up for him this regret!
Saying that he looked at the silent tears of Duncan, full of dignity waved his hand, and said:
“Duncan, this matter you do not have to care about anything, whether the child is born a boy or a girl,”
“You bring your daughter over! If it’s a boy, I’ll be able to convince her to let the child be named Li,”
“If it’s a girl, I’ll try to convince her to have another one!”
“Don’t interfere, don’t say a word, just pretend not to know,”
“If anyone has any old feudal, old ba5tard name, feel free to greet uncle’s head, uncle won’t care!”
Duncan at this moment with tears heavily nodded his head,
Said with gratitude, “Uncle …… thank you …… thank you!”
Duncan knows that his son-in-law is very good and high-minded, this kind of thing, perhaps really only Nicolas can do.
Moved beyond measure, his legs bent forward uncontrollably, and he was about to kneel and kowtow to Nicolas.
Marshal’s quick eyes and hands sprang into action, and hand dragged him, said: “Duncan, what are you doing!”
Nicolas scolded: “Brat, they say there is gold under the knees of a man,”
“You are running here to me to cash in! Hurry up and stand still, you will not kneel for me until the day I die!”
Duncan was really moved from the bottom of his heart, but seeing Nicolas’s anger,
He hurriedly said, “Okay, Uncle …… I know ……”
The old man nodded in satisfaction and urged, “Why are you still standing here, hurry up and go to the airport!”
Marshal said: “Dad, I told him to hurry up, he said he wanted to accompany you for a while.”
At this time, the music suddenly sounded, the very explosive music,
The venue lights dimmed at least 70%, and on the stage left and right two large LED screens instantly point,
Began to play the opening material of Sara’s world tour.
The opening video, 20 minutes long, was created by a Hollywood team with heavy money,
The sound and visual effects are shocking beyond compare.
The content of the video is a cosmic war that takes place in the future,
So the audio-visual effect at the beginning seems to be shocking.
The plot of this video is an alien race invaded the Earth,
Wiping out almost all of the Earth fleet, the entire Earth fleet only a warship piloted by a female warrior survived.
In order to save the Earth, this female warrior has to sail the warship through the wormhole,
All the way from the future back to the modern society on Earth.
When her ship crossed the Earth’s atmosphere, the Earth’s air forces sent top fighters to intercept it,
And she ejected at the moment when the missile was about to destroy the ship and took a parachute all the way down.
But because the parachute malfunctioned and could not be opened,
The warrior woman swooped toward the ground at a very high speed.
According to the original setting, at the moment when the warrior woman is about to fall to the ground,
The LED screen and all the lights on the scene will instantly go out,
And all the sound will also come to an abrupt halt.
After ten seconds of absolute darkness, all the stage lights will instantly come on.
And dozens of light beams will be aimed at the top of the stage,
When Sara, wearing sci-fi armor, will descend from the sky with the weave technology,
And use her song called “From the Future” to make an absolutely shocking and perfect opening for the whole concert.
However, at this moment, the video has just begun to play,
When people saw the video presenting a Star Wars scene, everyone is a little confused.
When the old man saw that the show was about to start, he hurriedly said to Duncan:
“Duncan, don’t waste time with me here, hurry back to your wife and children!”
After that, he looked at Marshal and instructed,
“Marshal, tell the crew to get ready at the airport and have the driver take Duncan to the airport!”
Marshal nodded and said to Duncan, “Duncan, hurry up,”
“It is time to stay with your family, don’t go anywhere until the baby is born.”
“Okay!” Duncan knew that the old man was thinking of himself,”
“So he nodded heavily and said, “Uncle, aunt, then I’ll go first.”
The old master waved his hand, “Go now, let Marshal see you off.”
Duncan busily said, “No, no, let him accompany you guys, I’ll go down by myself.”
After saying that, he said to Marshal, “You send a message to the driver, don’t come with me.”
Marshal saw that he was in a much better state, so he nodded and said,
“Okay, go and send a message when you arrive.”
Duncan nodded, said hello again to the people, and then hurriedly left the room.
After Duncan went out, the video, the flagship of the human space fleet was hit by a fatal blow from the enemy,
And Claire excitedly took Charlie’s hand and shouted,
“Honey! Is this a movie? The effect is too realistic, right?”
Charlie heard Claire so shocked, then subconsciously withdrew the release of a little aura,
No longer pay attention to grandparents over what they are talking about,
But focused on the screen, said seriously: “I think this should be a specially made opening video,”
“The former king Michael Jackson also gave such a majestic opening special effects.”
Charlie just finished talking, on the screen, the human flagship exploded!
Incredibly huge flagship, a series of violent explosions from the inside, the whole falling apart!
The sound effects of the explosion throughout the scene created countless powerful sounds,
The scene set off a wave of sound, impacting everyone’s senses.
While everyone’s attention was focused on the video,
Duncan crossed the corridor of the VIP area and arrived at the door of the elevator hall.
The sound wave made him feel the bass vibrating his entire chest even when he was here.
At this moment, the four elevator lights not far in front of him suddenly lit up at the same time,
And just when he was a bit stunned in his heart, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
In the four elevators, at least 20 black-clothed fighters with loaded guns and armed to the teeth appeared!
These black-clad fighters wore bulletproof vests and bulletproof masks,
And all held dark automatic rifles in their hands,
And the muzzle of each automatic rifle was fitted with a thick and long silencer.
When Duncan saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, and just wanted to shout,
Bullets were instantly released from the muzzles of multiple guns.
In an instant, he was hit by dozens of bullets, boom!
Immediately after, the beige wool carpet underneath Duncan was soaked with his blood!
A striking blood-red ……
The moment Duncan fell to the ground, none of the people in the elevator, even looked at Duncan again.
One of them saw Duncan’s dead face and said offhandedly through the intercom system in his helmet,
“Boss, this man seems to be NYPD detective Duncan Li!”
The man at the head said contemptuously,
“What Duncan Li, in my opinion, it’s just an appetizer, not enough for a fcuking chopstick.”
After saying that, he ordered, “All of you,”
“In battle formation, remember our purpose, do not leave any alive!”
The other twenty or so men heard the chief’s voice very clearly…
Because they were wearing active noise-canceling headphones,
So they held their guns in their right hands and raised two fingers,
The index and middle fingers, to the side of their temples with their left hands.
This hand gesture means they have received the order.
Immediately after that, more than twenty people in the four elevators,
Immediately arranged themselves in the standard special forces six-man combat formation,
With the most advanced assault rifles, at the same time, the same pace turned out of the elevators.
They are covered in special clothing and equipment, have gone through a very rigorous silent treatment,
The fabric of the clothes will not emit almost any friction,
Even the head of each zipper on the clothes is wrapped with black cotton fabric to avoid impact with the zipper body.
Combat boots soles also have undergone special treatment, and all using Velcro tightening,
Oo laces and metal parts, even while walking up, it will not make any sound.
Plus this entire VIP area is like a hotel, all covered by carpet,
More than twenty people walked up, almost without a sound.
With such extreme combat details, even the top special forces cannot do it.
And their equipment, too, is very advanced.
Their main weapon, the HK433 assault rifle, is the latest single weapon from the German company HK.
This gun has a high rate of fire, high power, and accuracy that far exceeds that of ordinary standard weapons.
Moreover, the gang also specially adopted the special 5.56 caliber Dum-Dum ammunition.
In close-range combat, this small-caliber bullet not only has high muzzle velocity and high killing power,
But also this ammunition has an extremely strong cavity effect,
Which can form a large cavity in the body when hit into the flesh, thus causing great damage to the human body.
At this point, they skipped over Duncan’s corpse while advancing silently.
This corpse was no longer within their attention,
Their target was the VIP box where the An family members were!
At this moment, four experts from the An family were guarding the entrance.
But at this time in the opening video,
The sounds of the fleet exploding and weapons firing were all over the place,
And the subwoofer was raising a great wave of sound,
Even the floor of the reinforced concrete structure was vibrating as a result.
In front of this surging wave of sound, other sounds almost completely lost the power of propagation.
Plus the ears, eyes, and nose, are extremely susceptible organs,
Once a certain sound is too loud, the human ear under the influence of this huge sound,
Will almost lose the ability to analyze other weak sounds.
This is why, in the concert scene, in the bar disco, two people talking face to face,
Who can not hear each other, unless the other person is lying next to the other side’s ear and shouting?
Therefore, the four experts of the An family, in the huge background sound,
Want to hear the sound of the gun with a silencer, as well as the other party’s footsteps,
Who are trying to cover it all up,
It is more difficult than listening to the buzzing of mosquitoes in the airport.
At this time, they are still completely unaware that great danger is approaching!
And Charlie, also because he had just retracted his aura,
And focused on the opening video that was played live,
So he too is equally ignorant of everything that is happening outside!
However, the killer is extremely well prepared.
Before they entered the corner of the corridor, they had already used the life detector,
The situation behind the corner, they know everything.
The person controlling the life detector immediately reported to the crowd in a special sign language.
The sign language content is:
“There are four people at the door of the proximal box near them,”
“Thirteen people inside the proximal box, and two more people in another box immediately inside the proximal box.
