Chapter 372 - The Guest at the Door
The boy played rugby in vain and 'accidentally' injured the girl, and Li Muye immediately took Margaret to apologize after hearing the news. This is exactly what the ancient king Situ skillfully used beauty tricks to punish Dong Zhuo with a series of clever strategies. Today, Brother Ono has a beautiful man's plan, knocking on the door of Thor Manor while talking and laughing.
The Adams family has multiplied for two hundred years, with members throughout North America, and there are two state legislators in Brooke's generation alone, but the most powerful is the arms manufacturing giant who has been at the helm of the Thunder Group for 20 years. He also lived in the Adams family estate, which was once revered as the Little White House.
Walk through a three-mile viewing promenade flanked by dense walls of bushes, clumps and rows, that look like a labyrinth. Through his sense of hearing, the touch brought by the wind, and his keen sense of smell, Li Muye can clearly perceive the hidden security personnel in the corners that he can't see.
From the outside, it's hard to associate this slightly old-fashioned Thor's Manor with the former Little White House. This old manor has been far from the political center for many years, and it is long time to see the crowd of customers, traffic and heavily guarded scenes. It leaves its doors open and welcomes visitors for a long time. At this moment, the owner of the manor was already waiting in front of the main building's main steps.
Brooke is a handsome middle-aged white man, even though he is over sixty years old, he still looks thin and slender, and the frost white of his temples only adds a few vicissitudes of charm. Zellweger's mother was a white woman in her early forties, with modest makeup, quiet and polite, and she wore beautiful women's clothes with a good style and good cuts. Their daughter, Zellweger, wore a pink gown, her long blond hair draped over her shoulders, and her arms were in a plaster cast, looking a little unhappy.
As Margaret said, the Addams family today no longer looks as unattainable as it once looked after losing its royal aura. They have long been not interested in the position that changes every four years, and they have concentrated on the people, keen on charity and basic industries for people's livelihood, and have established and controlled the largest number of student aid foundations in a high-profile manner, while also owning the world's largest and most stable military industrial enterprises in a low-key manner.
Brooke loved his little daughter very much, and in order to let her enjoy the same joy as all children, he did not mind that his daughter would come into contact with a civilian family. This will help them create a democratic and fair public opinion environment. So this is not the first time that such contact is, and it will not be the last.
Looking at Brooke, who was close to the people at the foot of the steps, and feeling the vigilant gaze from the snipers on the surrounding rooftops, Li Muye suddenly remembered a powerful figure named Meng Weijun during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The person in front of him is one of the bigwigs who enjoy the big cake of the world's first power. Although it looks a little ordinary, it is this ordinariness that highlights this person's profound cultivation and wisdom.
In today's scene, Li Muye is only the nominal protagonist, and it is Margaret who really sings the big drama. It is comparable to the little matchmaker who threads the needle in the big west chamber.
"Mr. Brooke Adams, I am Li Muye from Toronto, and I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of visiting, and I am very sorry for the unpleasantness that has occurred between my nephew and your daughter, and I am here on behalf of my family to express my sincere apologies to your daughter and your entire family. Li Muye said his lines according to what Margaret taught.
Brooke on the steps was also looking at this Oriental man with a somewhat mysterious origin, and before deciding to accept the other party's request to visit, the security personnel had already done a not in-depth investigation of Li Muye's identity and origin. This Chinese only came to North America in the last six months and currently runs a Chinese food business in Toronto. Before that, this man named Li Muye was an adventurer, a scholar of the Eastern occult.
Such findings aroused Brooke's curiosity to a certain extent.
In recent years, more and more Orientals have immigrated to North America, and the total population has approached 10 million. Although it is difficult for most of them to fully integrate into the mainstream society because of their unique cultural customs, they are still gradually becoming a new social group that cannot be ignored.
Li Muye wore a silver-white Tang suit today, his face was handsome and pleasing, his temperament was noble, his charm was extraordinary, and he exuded a mysterious charm unique to Orientals. And Margaret, standing next to him, was even more eye-catching. The well-tailored clothes highlight the bodybuilder and sexy posture, the standard Western beauty face is matched with a pair of deep and clear eyes like the sea, and the moderate and rude smile brings people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.
"I beg your pardon. Margaret said in a straight London accent: "Dear Monsieur Brooke, I must explain to you that my Oriental teacher has a slight problem with his spoken pronunciation, but he has come here to apologize for the grave consequences of his nephew's reckless act, and his feelings are sincere. ”
Brooke took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Li Muye, shook his hand, and said: "Hello dear Mr. Li, it is an honor to receive you and your girlfriend and this brave young man, as soon as we met, we had a pleasant little disagreement, but I don't think this is a very serious problem, in my opinion, when we were still sixteen years old, we all used to communicate in this way, so I hope that today's meeting is not a criticism meeting, but a sorority." ”
Margaret handed the prepared precious red wine and a set of handmade evening dresses to Mrs. Brooke, and then said to Brooke with a polite and self-respecting smile: "Dear sir, please accept our little care, my name is Margaret, you and Mrs. can call me Mary, and I also want to correct what you just said, I am not Mr. Li's girlfriend, but his disciple, my master looks young, but in fact he is in his fifties." ”
Brooke was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Li Muye carefully, a little suspicious: "Miss Mary, are you sure you are not joking with us about Mr. Li's age?" He then explained: "Yes, Mr. Li looks too young, and before I heard your statement, I thought he would not be more than five years older than my Zillweger baby." ”
"There are often people who have such misunderstandings about my teacher's age, and you are not the first one. "But that's the way it is, I knew the teacher when I was very young, and he was what he is now, and he was the same when I met him again a few years ago when I went to China." ”
"Oh, oh!" Brooke shook his head slightly in disbelief and smiled, "It seems that I am really superficial, Mr. Li reminds me of an old friend named Donald, I heard that he has a mysterious and powerful Chinese friend, and he also has a different young appearance like you, is this mysterious magic from the East?"
The Donald in his mouth is Huang Yongshen's foothold in North America and the backer of the Hop Kee Hall's strength. And within Freemasonry, this person's status is far from being comparable to that of the Adams family.
The bigger the person, the easier it is to ignore the people and things around him.
In North America, if it is not a person who is engaged in intelligence work, few people will know anything about the people in the world of the rivers and lakes in the East. For a strategic decision-maker like Brooke, his focus is always on issues and areas that are of vital interest to him. For specific intelligence work, it is rarely involved. Therefore, although Huang Yongshen is also a well-known figure, he is still just a nobody in the eyes of the real bigwigs with great influence in the Western world in North America.
Margaret's previous identity is undoubtedly weighty, but the problem is that as Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Imperial Alliance, she has been mysterious since the day she sat in this position, and only a few veteran giant-level figures within the alliance have seen her with her own eyes and clearly know her identity.
Brooke has always disdained the mysterious and often unconstitutional spirit, so he has never paid special attention to Margaret, the former head of the Imperial League.
Margaret said: "What helps my teacher stay young is not some mysterious magic, but a health regimen that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, which combines physical exercises and health preservation methods in Eastern occultism, by adjusting the diet to construct a reasonable dietary structure, moderate exercise to nourish the body and mind, and achieve the purpose of maintaining one's own youthful vitality." ”
"Very interesting explanation. Brooke said and let Li Muye and the three of them into the living room, and after sitting down, he looked at Li Muye with great interest, and asked, "Mr. Li, is the physical technique mentioned by Miss Mary just now kung fu?"
Li Muye spread his hands and smiled, shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Brooke, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I don't know that kind of kung fu to compete in the ring with others." ”
Margaret said: "My master is a very humble person, he has a very strong ability, but he will not use it casually, this is the concept and morality that the Eastern martial arts practitioners must inherit, but if necessary, he is actually as powerful as Bruce Lee." ”
"As far as I know, very few people who seek great power live long. "Many of the great martial artists, including Mr. Bruce Lee, died young, and Mr. Lee doesn't seem to have that problem," Brooke said. ”
Margaret said: "If you want to explain your problem clearly, you have to talk about some of our secrets, which is inconvenient to say, so please forgive me for not being able to give you a satisfactory answer, we are here today to apologize, and at the same time, my teacher hopes to be able to treat your daughter herself." ”
"No, I think it's better to forget it. Brooke said: "The doctor has fixed her and used some medicine, she is very strong, and she will be fine soon." ”
Li Muye knew that it was time to show his hand at this time, so he got up and came to the little girl Qi Weige and said, "It was just fixed and supported, and it didn't solve the fundamental problem. ”
Mrs. Brooke said: "Please don't worry, our family doctor thinks that this is not a very serious injury, as long as it is completely recovered within half a year after professional diagnosis and treatment, but a minor operation is still needed. ”
In fact, hospitals in the United States also have manual orthopaedic reduction, but here, the more expensive people are, the more difficult it is to enjoy relatively simple medical care. In such cases, doctors usually adopt an open-ended approach that they more recognize as a combination of scientific laws. Freehand reduction requires the patient to endure a lot of pain and be willing to cooperate, and it also requires some precise manipulation, which still has some risks. In contrast, surgical treatment is more stable.
"I think your family doctor complicates simple things. Before Li Muye's words fell, he suddenly grabbed the little girl's arm.
