Chapter 0266 - Peace Talks? (Thanks for the change)
"Nick, why is it in such an unpleasant situation every time I see you?"
Sitting in the garden of his home in Chicago, the servants were taking advantage of the good weather to prepare a barbecue on the lawn, and Adelaid was preparing freshly squeezed juice for him.
It is said that this is a secret recipe she learned from a certain duchess, and the taste is very unique.
"Charlie, I've got good news for you!" Seeing his performance this time, Nick is pleased with his growth.
No one wants their friend to be a butcher who will pull out a gun if he doesn't agree with him.
"Good news, finding the killer is the best news for me. "Fighting a tiger is not dead, but harmful, Li Zitao is uncomfortable now!
"Before coming, Roosevelt came to see me, and I would like to invite you to sit down with Joseph and talk. With that, Nick walked over to the oven with his glass, where the aroma of roasted meat was already wafting from it, and he wanted to taste it.
"Peace talks?" Li Zitao sat and thought.
"My dear, your secret juice. Adellaide came with juice and interrupted his train of thought.
"Thank you. Taking a sip of the juice, Li Zitao looked up at her and asked, "Joseph wants to talk to me, what do you think?"
"Why not?" said Adellaid, sitting down and looking at him, "You can't always go on like this, whether he did it or not, this should end here." β
"That's it?" Li Zitao was a little unwilling, but he had no evidence, and it was impossible for him to send someone to Kendi Manor and set up a crane gun to sweep the entire manor to the ground.
If it was in Africa, he would be happy to do so.
"Do you want to continue?" asked Adellaid, looking at him.
"......" Who wants to be remembered by the gunman every day, there is something wrong with the braincase!
"Well, I'll talk to him, right in New York. Li Zitao said in a relaxed tone, and then saw the white juice in the cup in his hand.
"It tastes good, did you add yogurt?" said a sour feeling in his mouth, making him feel his appetite.
"No, it is," Adellaide said mysteriously in his ear.
"Poof, okay people, where did you come from?" Li Zitao, who was drinking juice, squirted out on the spot, which was a bit too informative.
"A very well-cultivated lady who has a family that is in a situation and needs to earn some subsidies, and she only has one child. β
Very good, very powerful, Li Zitao's three views were refreshed again.
"Hey, Charlie, Sasha, come and taste it, this tastes great. Seeing that the two were talking and laughing, Nick, who was standing by the oven, waved his arm and said.
......
West Africa, somewhere.
"Why are you going back to America, what are you going to do, why don't you take me with you?" asked Lilith with a look of suspicion.
"It's just a little hassle, that's not what a lady should know, you should go on vacation with your lover, India is good. β
Two months was enough time for Hogan to become a qualified captain, and now his words were orders.
"Stay safe, and remember your mission. Wang Dagou patted the car door and stepped back; β
"Let's go. "Hearing Hogan's instructions, the car sped forward, and they would board the speedboat in the sea ahead, and then take the 'downwind boat' back to their homeland.
"I think Hogan's suggestion is good, you can consider going on vacation to India, I will approve it. Seeing the car disappear from sight, Wang Dagou patted the monk's shoulder, laughed and walked towards the forest behind him.
"Monk, do you know what they're going to do?" Lilith's uneasiness grew stronger.
As a member of the Ghost Squad, she was excluded from this mission, and the mission location was in the United States.
"I don't know, I just know, that's not what I'm supposed to care about. Stepping forward and hugging her shoulders, the monk said in a relaxed tone: "What do you think of Hogan and the instructor's suggestions, are you familiar with India?"
......
......
At night, after an in-depth 'academic' exchange with his fiancΓ©e, Li Zitao came to the study alone and picked up the phone to dial a certain number.
"Mike, I need the inhibin you said, let Wang Kui personally" About 10 minutes later, Li Zitao hung up the phone and sat in a chair without moving.
Before you know it, the dawn is coming.
Click!
The door of the study was opened, and the maid who was cleaning was about to go inside with a bucket, when she saw Li Zitao sitting in a daze on a chair.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know you were here, but Chief Hogg didn't tell me. The maid who saw this scene was a little flustered.
She doesn't know if she's going to run into her master, if she's going to lose her job, and if she has children and a family to support.
"Don't worry, no one knows what is the injury on your face when I'm here?" Li Zitao, who was awakened, smiled, and suddenly saw a bruise on the corner of her eye.
"I didn't come across it unintentionally. The maid shrank back and bent over.
"I remember your name, Philancise, right?" Li Zitao moved his butt to make himself sit more comfortably, "Come in and sit, maybe you can talk to me." β
The bucket was placed in the double wooden shelf at the door, and the maid came to the table, half of her buttocks on the chair, and she looked like she would jump up at any moment.
"Is it an outsider, or is it your husband?" Seeing the bruises that were obviously hits, Li Zitao asked in an affirmative tone.
"Wow, that's terrible," Philancipis sobbed softly, covering her face, about what had happened to her.
In this era, chauvinism was prevalent in Europe and the United States, and dozens of countries, including Spain, country F, Austria, Canada, etc., had a contradiction in their families.
Domestic violence!
"You don't even dare to beat your wife and children, what kind of man are you?" Such a strange theory is actually a mainstream idea in this era.
Beat women, beat children, disagree, and even threw the child out of the second-floor window, even if he broke his hands and feet because of it.
The number of women dying due to domestic violence is increasing at a rate of 5% every year.
The United States is a diverse, multi-ethnic country of immigrants with immigrants from all over the world.
Therefore, domestic violence is also an inevitable problem.
This is not the era when the feminist movement has been successful in later generations, and domestic violence is the most common 'family dispute' at this time. β
The police won't intervene, not even come to the door, unless someone is killed.
And women can only choose to suffer silently under this deformed social form and the threat and intimidation of their husbands.
They can only avoid being beaten more by trying to cater to their husband's preferences, changing their good and evil, their preferences and values, and becoming what they want them to be.
Now, in front of him sat such a poor woman, who had to earn money to support her family and children while silently enduring the beatings of her husband.
