Chapter 173: A Visit
The Peninsula Harbour City's luxurious sea-view suite.
Zhuo Qun faced the sea in the floor-to-ceiling window, and flew out of his hand one by one the playing cards in his hand.
After the cards are taken off, each card is sharply nailed to a row of various fruits on the table of the food truck in an extremely graceful arc.
This is a real-life version of the "fruit cutting" game that Zhuoqun often plays when he is upset.
It is very helpful to express emotions and relieve anxiety.
And Bei Lu sat beside him, drinking a glass of cold and delicious freshly squeezed juice, and watched Zhuo Qunfei's performance safely.
But even if Zhuo Qun used a card to cut a guava in half, she wouldn't be surprised by it.
Because of this situation, it is a scene that the two of them have been familiar with each other since they got along in two lifetimes, so it is naturally not strange.
"I really don't understand, why are you still not at ease? Is there any doubt about this?"
Bei Lu put down the cup, raised her eyes to look at the back of Zhuo Qunfei, and took the lead in opening her mouth.
Zhuo Qun does not deny that he is pure speculation.
"I don't have any actual evidence, but this Mr. McKinsey is too mysterious, he just gave us an address through the front desk, a time, and asked us to come and meet him the day after tomorrow. Such an abrupt request can be a bit scary. ”
Belle didn't care.
"What's so strange about that? McKinsey's address is E5 Repulse Bay, which is an upscale villa area where celebrities live. The environment and security are top-notch, what can happen? Obviously, he didn't want to be noticed from the beginning. Would I want to meet in public? What if I really attract paparazzi?"
Zhuo Qun frowned tightly and continued to emphasize.
"But you know, we didn't even talk to McKinsey on the phone, so we didn't know what kind of person he was. Even if you can listen to his voice, it is more reassuring than a note. ”
"And on the other hand, he may have been secretly observing us a long time ago. And totally sure we'll be on the door. The reason is obvious, since we came to Hong Kong City to look for him, we will not go back easily. ”
In this case, I am afraid that there is a mental calculation or an unintentional. I hate coming to the door unprepared because I can't be sure if I'm going to be in danger. You don't want to think about what if we go to see him and there are a few big men with bad intentions in the house?"
But his concern made Belu laugh.
"Haha, in the blue sky, do you think it's a police movie? My profession is making movies, and I don't have as much imagination as you. I think you're a little bit worried. ”
"You must know that the current port city is no longer than before the return, the kidnappers are long gone, and the community has become honest. What's more, with your skills, it's nothing to deal with three or five people. ”
"If you want me to say, that McKinsey didn't say that we weren't allowed to bring people, so we might as well hire a few more bodyguards to accompany us. You can rest assured, right?"
Seeing that Zhuo Qun was still a little hesitant, Bei Lu simply lied coquettishly.
"Honey, I beg you. I really ran out of patience and didn't want to wait any longer. We're pretty close to what we're looking for, and if we go, we'll be able to figure everything out and the mystery will be revealed. ”
In the face of Bei Lu's obsessive plea, Zhuo Qun really had a way to refuse.
He could only nod his head accommodatingly.
But in Beilu's satisfied smile, an even more unpleasant situation happened.
The last card that Zhuo Qun flew out actually lost his hand strangely.
The card was firmly nailed to a snake fruit, but it didn't split it.
You know, it's a ghost card, and the snake fruit is also the easiest fruit to split.
This naturally tolerates undesirable associations............
When it came to the day of the official visit, Zhuo Qun's heart was not less awkward.
That day, he and Belo traveled in a seven-seater SUV.
The entourage was a driver and four bodyguards that they temporarily hired from the bodyguard company.
But it must be said that because the time is relatively tight, the personnel are patchwork, and the quality is not very satisfactory.
In addition, a special application procedure is required for the allocation of guns.
The so-called bodyguards don't have powerful weapons on them, which always makes Zhuo Qun feel uneasy.
In addition, the weather on this day was not conducive to travel, the sky was overcast, and it rained just after going out.
However, because Beilu was swimming in the pool last night, her eyes also seemed to be infected to a certain extent.
It's been red since the morning, and it's extremely uncomfortable.
I've been crying all the time, and I feel photophobia.
She could only wear sunglasses to cover it, and stopped halfway to ask Zhuo Qun to go to the pharmacy in the rain to buy her eye drops.
In short, all of this seems to be unsettling and unsettling.
So much so that when they drove along the leafy road of the small hill to the three-story villa, they waited for news from inside.
Zhuo Qun even wanted to order the driver to turn around and return for a moment.
But just as he was about to speak, the door outside the villa opened.
The driver immediately drove the car into the stone paved road and entered the house.
And Bei Lu also covered Zhuo Qun's hand with her hand and gave him an extremely excited smile.
At this time, of course, it is too late to speak again, and there is only one way to settle down.
Fortunately, in terms of reception, McKinsey was very thoughtful and did not let Zhuoqun and the others run into the wide colonnade to ring the doorbell by themselves.
Just when the car heard in front of the main entrance of the house, a Caucasian woman in a plain dress and a Filipino maid in an apron had already taken the initiative to greet Beilu and Zhuoqun with umbrellas and welcomed Bei Lu and Zhuo Qun in.
The villa foyer is luxuriously decorated, sophisticated and tasteful.
After entering the gate, you can not only see the high patio, but also a crystal lamp hanging at least three meters like a waterfall.
Next to the long plush dark blue curtains, there are also many elegant British watercolor decorations on the walls of the corridors.
The color of the splicing ground is also very beautiful, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a peach heart.
In the large vase on the sideboard, there is also a large bouquet of orange-red iris flowers.
All in all, this comprehensive warm light sensation is very pleasant, and it immediately dispels the chill that allows the cold rain to soak into the skin.
"I am Mr. McKinsey's butler Gretchen, welcome to your visit, he is waiting for you in the parlor, please come with me. ”
And the housekeeper's smile is also very friendly.
She briefly introduced herself, and then began to lead the way, leading Zhuo Qun and Bei Lu and the others to the reception room.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, there were branches again.
Two six- and seven-year-olds chased a beagle out of an open-door playroom.
I have to say that this sudden move caught people off guard, and it really scared Bei Lu.
But despite this, I heard the housekeeper say that the two children were the grandson and granddaughter of McKinsey.
The two little ones also politely apologized.
Bei Lu was not only not careful, but Zhuo Qun also relaxed.
He thought he might have been a little nervous just now.
Because such a vivid and warm life situation will not happen in the den of the kidnappers.
In the end, when they came to the small living room and saw the mysterious owner, Zhuo Qun felt even more relieved.
Even the last hint of caution on his face vanished.
Because the Mr. McKinsey sitting in the comfortable half-circle leather sofa, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.
It's not just an old man who is almost sixty years old, wearing glasses and having a big belly. Even the hairline has receded into the Mediterranean.
And it's a bit unkempt, he wears only a pair of pajamas and soft-soled slippers.
With such an appearance, it can be said that it is not attractive to women at all.
There are even some obstacles in action.
He picked up the crutches beside him, and it was only with the help of the housekeeper that he stood up to greet the guests.
"Sorry, I have a bit of a nervous problem with my legs, I have to use a wheelchair when I go out, and I can only move slowly at home. So forgive me for being rude, I can only invite you here to meet me, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Zhuo Qunbian hurriedly said, "It's okay. We can understand. ”
Beilu also said, "Sit down, please don't be polite." ”
At this time, she deliberately glanced at Zhuo Qun with a smile, and the meaning was self-evident.
