Volume 2 1999 Chapter 83 Like Gathers Like
As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped.
Seeing the bank card that Li Yuan took out, Paris knew that he was the same kind of person as herself.
It was a Centurion series of cards launched by Amex Company, and Li Yuan's card was the highest level in the series, also known as the black gold card because its main color was black.
The Centurion Black Gold Card is positioned at the top group, with no upper limit, and most of the cardholders are dignitaries, billionaires and celebrities from various countries, and they need to be invited by American Express to apply for a card.
Seeing Li Yuan take out a black gold card, not to mention the surprise on the front desk receptionist, even Paris's eyes straightened.
You know, although she is one of the heirs of the Hilton Group with a market value of 3 billion pounds, because her father is not treated well by Barron Hilton (Paris's grandfather), the owner of the group, her status is not as high as ordinary people think.
At least she couldn't pull out a black gold card.
It's not surprising to know that the series of cards was released earlier this year, less than a month after it was full, and it was released in the United Kingdom, not to mention that she didn't, and even her father hadn't been invited. Of all the people she knew, Uncle Donald was the only one with the same card.
Li Yuan's identity is actually on par with Uncle Donald?
The discovery made Paris's eyes light up, and her curiosity grew like a weed that had been gilded.
……
For those with black and gold cards, offering a discount is not kindness, but humiliation.
The front desk registration obviously understood this, so he helped Li Yuan check in decently, which made Li Yuan a little painful, but after thinking about it, it was not his own money after all, and he spent it.
After checking in, the police who received the alarm arrived in a hurry.
Probably because the crime occurred in a luxury hotel in the downtown area, the police attached great importance to it, and sent a luxurious lineup of eight people, including a deputy sergeant (deputy chief superintendent), directly from the New York City Police Headquarters on Parklow Street.
To be honest, Li Yuan felt that they were making a little fuss, after all, it was a skirmish, and there were no fatalities, so it seemed that he was bullying others.
However, when the assistant sergeant spoke, Li Yuan realized that he was amorous.
"Please come with me. ”
The deputy sergeant said to Zhao Min with a straight face, and at the same time swept Li Yuan with his afterglow.
Li Yuan was about to speak, but Paris was anxious first.
"Sheriff Parker, are you mistaken, they are the victims!"
The deputy sheriff, Parker, obviously knew Paris, but didn't mean to save face at all: "We'll judge for ourselves who is right and who's wrong." ”
At this time, a police officer came over and said to Parker: "The inspection is complete, judging from the surveillance video, it was the young man who provoked ...... first"
Paris was overjoyed, but before she could be happy, the officer continued: "The injury is preliminarily judged to be a head injury, which is not life-threatening, but the specific sequelae will have to wait for the doctor's diagnosis, in addition, there is a contusion in the chest, and there may be a slight bone crack in the tibia......"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Min with a strange face, it was hard to imagine that it was an obviously underage girl who caused all this.
Curiosity is curiosity, he didn't forget his job, took out a pair of handcuffs and was about to put them on Zhao Min, and said in his mouth: "Please cooperate with our work and don't make misleading moves......"
The mouth is polite, but the demeanor is vulgar.
Li Yuan pulled Zhao Min behind him and said to the two: "It's okay to go to the police station, but I have to get in touch with the embassy first." ”
Probably considering Zhao Min's "combat effectiveness", Parker did not act rashly, but explained: "We will notify the embassy." ”
"Nope. Li Yuan shook his head and said, "My girlfriend and I won't go to the police station without a lawyer, I think I made it clear." Well, I'll make it clear, I suspect that you are racist, and even that you are somehow related to that person......"
"Hey, ...... yellowskin" Parker's scolding words were glared back by Li Yuan, and he changed his words: "You are slandering, and besides, I suspect that you have a tendency to attack the police, so ......"
Parker said, reaching for the holster.
Damn American cops!
Li Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
In my previous life, I heard that the American police law enforcement was very rough, and even retired admirals dared to be injured and dragged away.
It's really hard to ride a tiger.
Li Yuan now has no doubt that this policeman must have racist tendencies, and as for what he has to do with the man who was knocked unconscious, it is not very important for the time being.
Just when Li Yuan was hesitating whether to tie his hands or resist, a mobile phone rang suddenly.
The ringtone came from Parker, Parker hesitated, gave up pulling out the gun, but took out his mobile phone, stared at Li Yuan and the others vigilantly, and stepped aside to make a call.
I don't know what I said on the phone, Parker's expression changed again and again, and finally glared at Li Yuan fiercely, and waved his hand: "Take that unlucky guy and call it a day!"
As he spoke, he didn't look at Li Yuan, and walked towards the outside of the hotel in the lead.
……
"Head, that's it?"
A policeman looked back at Li Yuan and the others, and asked Parker unwillingly.
"Or else?" Parker asked rhetorically. Presumably out of a need to save face, he explained: "The F.B.I. just called and told us not to mess with that person. ”
……
"Do you think there is anyone more unlucky than me?"
Hartman said to the black man next to him with a bitter face: "Let's have dinner, that kid actually caused such a big trouble......"
The black man nodded, equally helpless.
After they finished tracking, they found a Mexican restaurant and prepared to eat something hot and spicy to warm their stomachs, but as soon as they finished ordering, they received a report that Li Yuan had a conflict with someone in the hotel.
Hartman had only one thought at the time - a slot!
If Li Yuan is injured in the conflict, regardless of whether he takes care of it or not, Hartman, who is in charge of surveillance and protection, will have to suffer and even be fired if he does not do it well - yes, the FBI is not a lifelong system, and if he does not do a good job, he will be at risk of losing his job.
Thankfully, Li Yuan wasn't hurt, but it was enough for Hartman to be frustrated. Not only was it as simple as being caught absenteeism, but more importantly, he missed a valuable news scene.
Think about it, the son of a wealthy Chinese family, the celebrity of the Hilton family, plus Chinese kung fu that is usually only seen in movies...... Hartman thinks that even if he doesn't concoct any bloody love triangle, it is enough to attract attention.
However, he actually missed it!
For Hartman, who is struggling to make ends meet, this is what he regrets the most.
……
When Hartman hurried to the Garden Hotel, the police's work was basically over, and seeing Parker trying to take Li Yuan away, he didn't intend to stop it at first-
He knows very well what the police in New York are, and these guys with eyes on the top of their heads are likely to have a conflict with Li Yuan, no matter who teaches whom, it is valuable news.
However, when Parker tried to pull out the gun, the nature changed, and there was a diplomatic dispute, regardless of Parker's fate, Hartman, the "bodyguard", would definitely have to bear the blame.
As a result, Hartman had to call Parker, reveal Li Yuan's identity to him, and ask him to settle down in the name of the FBI.
……
"Luckily, Parker still has some brains. ”
Hartman let out a sigh of relief when he saw the police closing the line, and said to the black man, "I know you have a way to get your hands on that surveillance video." ”
The black man didn't speak, but rubbed his fingers.
"Don't worry, your share is indispensable!" Hartman scolded with a laugh.
The black man laughed, showing his snow-white teeth, but he quickly became worried again.
"Isn't that okay?
"What's the problem?"
Hartman said: "With Vanity Fair and the CIA in front, what are we afraid of? Besides, even if we don't say it, it's hard to guarantee that the people who were there at the time won't say it, and don't forget that Paris is there." ”
"Paris must have guessed his identity, she would talk nonsense?"
"She may not be able to talk nonsense, but let's not forget that she also has a big-mouthed uncle. ”
"Oh. Shall we continue to guard it?"
"No, let's go back to dinner, trust me, that Mexican food is really good. ”
"However, the above has just explained ......"
"Use your brains!" said Hartman, hate the iron, "and this doesn't happen very often, so I don't believe he can do anything tonight!"
……
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
While Hartman is looking for a reason for being passive and slacking off, Paris is also looking for a reason for how to get close to Li Yuan.
Paris knows the virtues of the New York police better than Li Yuan, and when the two sides were tense, they were hesitating to ask their family members to come forward to coordinate, but after a phone call, Parker, who was originally aggressive, suddenly died down like a tiger with teeth pulled.
Paris had no doubt that the phone call must be related to Li Yuan, which made her more and more curious about Li Yuan's identity.
casually took out the newly issued centurion black gold card, and a phone call made the police retreat, and there was a girlfriend who was good at kung fu by his side......
Thinking of Zhao Min, Paris thought about it.
She first warned the staff not to reveal her identity with a stern look, and then said to Zhao Min with a smile: "I'm really sorry, because of my matter, I have caused you so much trouble, can I invite you to have a cup of coffee?"
As soon as Paris's tail cocked, Li Yuan knew it...... Ahem, in short, he didn't want to have anything to do with this woman.
On the one hand, this woman's private life is so chaotic that he has no place to reason if he is asleep. On the other hand, in case Zhao Min is taken by her...... It's unimaginable!
Li Yuan had the heart to refuse, but the other party was smart enough not to ask him, so he had to hint at Zhao Min with his eyes and signal her to refuse.
Zhao Min got the hint, so he politely refused: "We drank too much coffee today, so we ......"
She said, smiling apologetically.
With an impeccable answer, Li Yuan gave Zhao Min a big thumbs up in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh that this tomboy could actually laugh at the charm of a mature woman.
Yes, thanks to the kidnapping incident, Zhao Min has matured a lot, although he is still a tomboy in private, he has a lot more femininity to outsiders.
Zhao Min's refusal was already obvious, but Paris didn't want to give up.
She rolled her eyes and said, "I see you don't have any luggage, I think you probably need to buy some clothes......
"No need, someone will bring our luggage over later. ”
Li Yuan spoke decisively and strangled the topic.
"That ......"
Paris opened her mouth and said dejectedly, "Okay, you're going to have to give me a chance to say thank you, right?"
Seeing her frustrated expression, Li Yuan softened for a moment and said, "That's it, it's still early, if it's convenient for you, you can take us around?"
