The whole show was very successful, and at the end of the show, Linda asked a few more personal questions about his studies and whether he had a girlfriend, and then the show ended.

After the show, Zheng Xudong came backstage to gather with Sean, and Manager Ella came up to say that the live broadcast of the show was very successful, although it did not get the first place in the ratings, but the second place result was far from what they expected, and it was close to the NBA ball game with the first ratings, she joked that she almost drove the director of the sports channel crazy.

Ella and Linda both invited Zheng Xudong to dinner to express their gratitude, but Zheng Xudong told Ella that if he wanted to thank him, he could invite Ivanka, and he directly said to Linda that he would talk about it when he had a chance in the future.

After getting into his car Mercedes-Benz S600 with Sean from ABC TV, he said: "Lawyer Sean, you are a local snake in New York, find a good restaurant to have a meal, I will arrange it, order it casually." ”

Sean turned his head and looked at him with strange eyes: "Just now, there were two beauties who wanted to invite you to dinner, but you didn't go, you have to eat with my uncle, you won't be GAY, let me explain that my sexual orientation is very normal." ”

Zheng Xudong slapped him with his fist, ", my sexual orientation is also normal." As for why they didn't eat with their manager, Ella, it was mainly because the woman's eyes were so scary that she seemed to want to swallow me. That Linda is even less interested, it looks like a bus, it's better to make less trouble!"

Sean nodded very pertinently, "I didn't expect you kid to have such a sober mind at this time, no wonder Ivanka can look at you with such a high eye! Well, since you said that you were treated, I'm welcome, don't shed tears when you settle the bill!"

Zheng Xudong laughed out loud in the car, "Your joke is really not funny, but I still have to laugh for a while, you are the first person who said that you can eat a billionaire to tears." ”

"FUCK! How did I forget this!" Sean thumped the steering wheel as he drove the car.

The car soon stopped at a high-end restaurant in Manhattan, and when I saw that Sean was a regular customer here, the waiter took them directly to a very quiet place, Sean was the first time to see Zheng Xudong's appetite, real appetite, too edible, he ordered enough for two adult men to eat, at first Sean thought that Zheng Xudong ordered so much in order to invite him, and later learned that people ordered it for himself. Sean was also polite, ordering a few signature dishes from this high-end restaurant, and another bottle of red wine. Seeing Zheng Xudong's worried eyes, "This restaurant provides a substitute driving service, so don't worry, let's build it!"

While waiting for the food, Ivanka called him to congratulate him, saying that she had watched his live show the whole time and even postponed the meeting. Zheng Xudong told her not to work so hard and protect her body, and the two of them hung up on the phone for a while while when the food came up.

Sean poured their drinks to the brim and congratulated him on the success of the show, and the two touched their glasses and drank them all. After eating for a while, Sean pulled out a check from his pocket, which said it was a million dollars, "This is from ABC TV, put it away, and it can be exchanged at any bank in New York." ”

In order to thank him, Zheng Xudong quietly put $200,000 in the space into a large cowhide envelope, and then patted Sean on the shoulder while drinking, "Lawyer Sean, I put a big envelope in your leather bag, inside which I have been bothering you these days to express some gratitude to you, please accept it." ”

Sean slapped the briefcase beside him twice with his hand and knew that there was something inside, and he wondered when Zheng Xudong put it in?

Zheng Xudong saw his doubts, "You forget, I'm a magician, I can't even do this little thing, I'm still a magician!"

Sean took out the envelope in the briefcase and put it under the table, opened the envelope and looked inside, knowing how much it was, and then quietly put it in, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zheng Xudong, didn't say thank you, just dried the wine. "In your Huaxia words, it's all in the wine!"

"Giving you cash won't cause you trouble, right?" Zheng Xudong asked.

Sean looked at him and smiled, picked up the wine glass and shook it slowly, after a while, "If there are still people in this world who dare to blatantly accept cash, there is only the profession of lawyers, don't worry, I will deal with it." ”

Zheng Xudong saw that people were so confident, and he also knew that it was unnecessary for him to worry.

The two ate in the restaurant for more than an hour before it ended, Sean's alcohol consumption was average, half a bottle of red wine was obviously a little much, Zheng Xudong didn't use him to send him back to the hotel, but asked the substitute driver to send him home directly, and he took a taxi to the hotel at the door of the restaurant.

In the car, Zheng Xudong opened his mobile phone to see if he had received any new information and checked the latest news by the way, and unconsciously felt that the sound in the car was becoming more and more silent, which is not in line with common sense, where is this? This is New York, this is Manhattan, the streets are full of people, traffic, and hustle and bustle.

He put his mobile phone back in his pocket, looked up at the scenery outside the car window, the sparse street lights were on and off, and from time to time there were a handful of young people in their twenties gathered on the side of the road, smoking something that could smoke without knowing whether it was cigarettes or marijuana, all of them looked sluggish, and from time to time a few vulgar yellow jokes could be heard through the car window. There is not a single new car on the street, it is all "classic cars" from the sixties and seventies, and even if they are thrown there with the door open, no one will want to drive it away. The walls of the buildings on both sides of the street are gray in color, and from time to time some "street artists" can be seen painting on the walls with quick-drying paint, if you have to classify these paintings into which art genre, Zheng Xudong thinks that they undoubtedly belong to abstraction, because he can't understand what the painting is.

There are still many "skilled" women standing on the street, dressed in fancy clothes, wearing heavy makeup, wearing very simple clothes, and waving to Zheng Xudong in the car to "solicit customers". As the car travels, it has to dodge the garbage cans in the middle of the road from time to time, and some of them are still sparking.

"Master, let's go in the wrong direction!" Zheng Xudong knew that the situation was not right, and asked calmly.

The black driver who was driving the car said nonchalantly, "Walk through this Harlem and you'll get to your hotel." ”

Zheng Xudong wanted to let your mother's bullshit, ABC TV and the hotel where I stayed and the restaurant I ate just now are all in Manhattan, no matter how you drive, it is impossible for you to pass through other urban areas, it may be that this black guy is short of money, so seeing that he is a yellow man who wants to make a fortune, if the money can be sent, it is better not to see blood.

"Dude, if you want money, I still have a few hundred dollars in my pocket, as long as you let me go, the money is yours. Zheng Xudong said to the driver, hoping that he could ask for money and die, otherwise Zheng Xudong promised that he would permanently lose the opportunity to see the first rays of sunshine in the morning.

"You're late. After speaking, the car stopped at the mouth of a five- or six-meter-wide alley in the middle of two six-story buildings, there were no street lights more than ten meters before and after this place, and two figures flashed out of the entire dark alley, although they were still in the dark shadows, Zheng Xudong had already seen that these two people were Asian, and they were about 1.75 meters tall.

One of them walked to the taxi, took out a Glock 17 pistol from his trouser pocket as he walked, pointed the gun at Zheng Xudong, and when he came to the door, the door opened, and said two words in broken Chinese: "Get out of the car!" After speaking, he took out a dozen dollars from his pocket and threw it into the passenger seat of the taxi.

Zheng Xudong said to the driver: "Someone has finished paying for me, so I won't pay and get out of the car." With that, he got out of the back seat and closed the door.

At this moment, the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed to the darkness ahead with the scream of tire pain, and suddenly turned right at the first intersection and disappeared.

Zheng Xudong stood quietly in front of the Asian man, and "saw" that in addition to the gun in his hand, this person also had a pistol of the same model on his waist, as well as two spare magazines, and at this time, the man who was always in the dark of the alley was holding a cigarette in his left hand and smoking from time to time, his right hand was hanging next to his thigh, and he was also holding a Colt M1917 revolver in his hand, and he had no spare gun on his body, it seemed that he was still quite confident in himself.

"If you want money, I've got a few thousand dollars in my pocket, and you two can split it. Zheng Xudong still hopes that they are seeking money, and it is best if they can use the money to send it away.

The man standing in front of him gestured with a gun, "Don't talk nonsense, go into the alley, dare to run and kill you." ”

It doesn't seem like he is seeking money, Zheng Xudong walked towards the alley step by step, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to fight back and kill these two people and then earn space and send them to see Satan, but thinking that these two people didn't know each other and didn't know why they were looking for themselves, he decided to take a step at a time and then talk about it to see how the plot develops.

When passing through the mouth of the alley, the man who smoked was obviously a little wary, threw most of the remaining cigarette to the ground, stepped on it, and crushed it on the ground a few times with his foot, not knowing whether he hated this cigarette or hated him.

There is no lamp in the dark alley, and there is garbage all over the ground, if it weren't for Zheng Xudong's good eyes, maybe he would have tripped over the wine bottles, cans, banana peels and other things that appeared on the ground from time to time.

Finally, a door was opened on the wall of the house on the left at the end of the alley, and the man who smoked opened the door first, and turned on the light in the room.

Zheng Xudong took a look at this room, very small, with the standard of Huaxia's house, it is about 30 square meters with a room without a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, in addition to a bed against the wall in the house, there is a chair in the middle of the room, he was "invited" to sit on the chair, the cold feeling came and told him that this chair is iron, the chair surface under the buttocks is only welded with three iron bars, it is particularly sour to sit on, the four legs of the chair are fixed on the ground by expansion bolts, and it is delusional to see the degree of solidity even if an elephant wants to escape.

His hands were taped to the back of the chair, and his feet were tied to the legs of the chair. Although the lights in the room were dim, I could still see the faces of the two people.

The man in his thirties who "greeted" him out of the car was standing in front of the chair, the muscles of his T-shirt clinging to his chest were raised high, and the two exposed arms were thick and powerful tattoos of dragons, with a sideways face and a fierce expression.

And the other person stood next to Zheng Xudong, with a long-sleeved black shirt on the upper body and black slacks on the bottom, with a well-proportioned figure, a gray face, and no expression could be seen.

The man standing directly in front of him here spoke: "That kid, you took something you shouldn't have taken, and you are going to die today!"
