Chapter 557: Death is not terrible
Mo Xiaolin was not as afraid of death as she was at the beginning, and the three of them came to the hotel restaurant together and found a corner seat to sit down.
"Mr. Liu Yan, are you still used to the food of Meiguo?"
"Fortunately, I also ate Western food a few times when I was in Huaxia, as long as it is not particularly weird food, I like to eat it. ”
The three of them chatted for a while, and the relationship with each other became closer again, and halfway through the meal, the Grim Reaper suddenly said without a clue: "Thompson, you have to be careful." ”
Liu Yan was drinking soup, and when he heard him say this, he put down the soup bowl and asked, "Is there anything wrong with him?" I think he is a cunning businessman, and he is really unscrupulous in order to make money, is there anything else?"
The Grim Reaper stopped talking, shook his head lightly and said, "You'll know later, anyway, be careful with him." ”
After that, the Grim Reaper never talked about Thompson again, Liu Yan hated people who said half of this, but he also understood that there was still an agreement between the Grim Reaper and Thompson, and it was inconvenient to say a lot of words.
"Death, can you shoot the first few of the masters in Meiguo?" asked Liu Yan while cutting the steak, as if chatting.
"I'm probably in the top ten, the sand shaker shouldn't have been able to beat me, it's hard to say in other cities, there are a few powerful ones, but I haven't fought with them. Death answered truthfully.
"Haven't you fought before? How could it be, Thompson's gym is in a sandshaker, there should be a lot of people to challenge, right?"
Death nodded: "There are indeed many people who come to challenge, but I heard that the real masters have been persuaded by Thompson to quit, and his idea is that unless you can stay, you will refuse to allow the masters to come to the gym to fight, he is worried that it will affect the business of the gym." ”
Liu Yan smiled, shook his head and said, "This guy is really a good material for doing business, he has a lot of eyes, but why would he try his best to win me over to the competition?
Death explained: "That's what he thinks, after all, you are a master of Huaxia, even if he loses, it will not affect the status of the gym in Meiguo, on the contrary, with your fame, you can also increase the popularity of the gym, this is his little abacus." ”
Liu Yan smiled and said, "This guy is really a shrewd guy......" Suddenly, a thought flashed in Liu Yan's mind.
Thompson is very cunning, and death hinted at him again, combined with the gun incident the day before yesterday, Liu Yan suddenly thought that maybe those guys were not the helpers Powell was looking for, but someone sent by Thompson to do it, and once he missed, he would blame Powell.
Liu Yan recalled that in the police station, Powell roared loudly, and felt that he was really wronged, could it be that this was all Thompson's trick?
The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, his brows tightened, and he couldn't eat anymore.
Mo Xiaolin and the Grim Reaper didn't know what Liu Yan was thinking, so they also stopped and looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan realized that he was a little out of shape, he quickly smiled, picked up the knife and fork again, and said, "I'm sorry, I just remembered something at home, let's continue to eat." ”
After eating, Liu Yan and the two sent the Grim Reaper out of the hotel, and the Grim Reaper expressed his gratitude to Liu Yan again, Liu Yan said lightly: "Don't take it to heart, Death, believe in yourself, this money is nothing." ”
The Grim Reaper held Liu Yan's hand, choked up a little, couldn't speak anymore, and drove away from the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Mo Xiaolin asked solemnly, "Liu Yan, do you have something to hide from me?"
"How could I hide it from you?
"The look in your eyes just now is wrong, something must be wrong. ”
Liu Yan just didn't want her to worry, and now seeing her asking vigorously, he had to tell his guess.
"You're saying Thompson blamed Powell and wanted you to lose in the ring once?"
"It should be, that Powell is not so bold, and he doesn't need to put his own future into it for this million, it must be Thompson!"
"Then what should I do? Do you want to deal with Thompson? Actually, you don't have to worry about so much, you will return to China in a few days, anyway, Powell and we have nothing to do with it, why do you need to offend Thompson for him?" Mo Xiaolin's point of view is that more is better than less.
"No! Although Powell is very unkind to me, he is not guilty of this, and he should not be wronged because of me. Liu Yan said solemnly.
"You, you're a good old man, a good old man who likes to meddle in things!" Mo Xiaolin shook her head helplessly.
Liu Yan didn't speak again, thinking about this matter carefully, he must find out the matter clearly and help Powell clear his grievances, although he didn't like Powell either.
The next day, Liu Yan quietly went to the police station, explained his guess to the police, and put forward his own suggestions.
The sand shaker police carefully considered Liu Yan's suggestion, and based on Thompson's previous behavior, they promised Liu Yan to secretly investigate Thompson.
With the support of the police, Liu Yan began his own plan, he first asked the police to release those people, because there is no conclusive evidence to prove that they are robbers, and it can only be said that they threatened to scare Liu Yan with a gun, and this crime is equivalent to detention, and they can be released in 48 hours.
After being released, Liu Yan secretly followed the brown-haired guy, and the police told Liu Yan that the man's nickname was Scorpion, and he was a local gangster.
The scorpion was very cunning, and after being released, he did not go to Thompson, but went around eating, drinking, and merrymaking, only with these few men, and did not find anyone.
Liu Yan was not in a hurry, and quietly followed him for two days, and finally, after the scorpion found that there was no police following him, he came to the back of the Hughes Street Boxing Gym alone, there is a bar here, which is not very inconspicuous and there are not many customers.
The scorpion looked to both sides, making sure no one was following him, and turned around and walked into the bar.
It was dark inside the bar, and after the scorpion entered, he walked directly towards the back kitchen, and through the back kitchen, he came to a room, where a man was already sitting waiting for him.
"Mr. Thompson, I'm sorry, I, I failed. The scorpion stood at the door in trepidation, with his head bowed, not daring to go in.
"Is anyone following you?" asked Thompson coldly.
"No, absolutely not, I played outside for two days and confirmed that no one was following. The scorpion said with certainty.
"Sit down. ”
"Yes. ”
The scorpion closed the door casually and walked in, and suddenly, with a bang, the door was kicked open again, and Liu Yan walked in.
"You, why are you here?" Thompson and Scorpion were so frightened that they both stood up and unconsciously took a few steps back.
Liu Yan closed the door casually, sat down, and looked at the two of them with Erlang's legs crossed.
"Mr. Thompson, you sent him to threaten me, right?" Liu Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he questioned him directly.
"Mr. Liu Yan, I don't understand what you're talking about, he's just a friend of mine, and he's looking for me for a drink today. Thompson winked at the scorpion.
The scorpion hurriedly stammered: "Yes, yes, we are old friends, just drink some wine." ”
"I can let the two of you die one in three seconds now, you say, who dies, who lives?" Liu Yan's eyes swept over the two of them, and their hairs stood on end.
"Liu Yan, don't be impulsive, murder is illegal, you are an international star, you have a bright future in the future, it's not worth it for me!" Thompson is cunning and cunning, so it is important to save his life quickly.
"Then I'll kill him, Scorpion, can I kill you?" Liu Yan slowly raised his right hand.
The scorpion knows how powerful Liu Yan is, and it is easy to make them unable to move, and it is easy to kill him.
"Don't, Mr. Liu Yan, don't kill me, this is all Thompson asked me to do it, and it has nothing to do with me!" The scorpion stood tightly against the wall, cold sweat streaming down his body.
"Since you don't want to die, let's be honest!" Liu Yan looked at his palm and said lightly.
Thompson stared at the scorpion, he didn't expect the scorpion to be so stupid, and he confessed himself in an instant.
"Mr. Liu Yan, don't listen to his nonsense, I just asked him to discuss another game with you, I didn't think they would treat you like that......"
"Recruited?"
"We're not friends, of course I'm going to make a deal with you. ”
Liu Yan stood up and waved his hand: "Okay, follow me to the police station, explain your affairs honestly, and replace Powell!"
"Liu Yan, let me be honest with you, this is Meiguo, not Huaxia, you can't play it. You can protect yourself, don't meddle in things, okay?" Thompson began to threaten Liu Yan again, but he said it very tactfully, and it sounded as if he cared about Liu Yan.
"Whether it's Meiguo or Huaxia, I firmly believe that we must be reasonable!" Liu Yan didn't eat his set at all, and shouted righteously.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" said Thompson's face darkened.
"Of course!"
"Okay, I'll go with you to the police station. Thompson walked towards the door, and there were two of his bodyguards outside, but they were both knocked down by Liu Yan.
Liu Yan beckoned to the scorpion and motioned for him to go with him, but the scorpion didn't dare not listen and obediently followed behind.
Thompson's car was outside, it was an extended version of Lincoln, Liu Yan asked Thompson and Scorpion to get into the car and sit in front of him, and then Thompson ordered the driver to drive towards the police station.
In the car, Liu Yan warned them again: "When you arrive at the police station, it's best not to play any tricks with me, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”
Both of them agreed repeatedly, not daring not to listen, the car drove very fast, and they arrived at the police station in twenty minutes.
After entering, the police brought Thompson and Scorpion in for interrogation, Liu Yan was waiting outside, the sheriff rarely came out and chatted with Liu Yan, this sheriff is also a fan of Liu Yan, he took out a still of Liu Yan and begged Liu Yan to sign him, saying that next Monday is his son's birthday, and he wants to give this signed photo as a birthday gift to him.
Liu Yan didn't say a word, he immediately signed him, and also took the sheriff's mobile phone, recorded a video for him, and said words of blessing, and the sheriff was naturally full of gratitude.
After a while, the sheriff said: "Mr. Liu Yan, thank you for cooperating with our police investigation, Mr. Powell is innocent, and we will release him now." ”
