Chinatown is a well-known Chinese community in New York, attracting many locals and tourists with its unique oriental charm.

The modest streets are lined with lanterns on stilted Chinese stilts, and are lined with oriental restaurants and pharmacies.

During the dark and chaotic period of the history of the United States, which was called the golden age of the underworld gangs, the Chinatown of New York on the East Coast was a force to be reckoned with, and there is a famous shootout movie "Bloody Chinatown" that understates the bloody battles during this period.

Even with the passage of time and the arrival of a new era, New York's Chinatown is still a window to the underground world of the East Coast. On the surface, it seems that this neighborhood is calm, but behind the scenes, there are actually undercurrents surging, three religions and nine streams, and fish and dragons are mixed.

As a true Oriental, Su Xinyuan walked on this bustling street, sneering at the so-called "Oriental characteristic culture" here, this half-foreign architectural style can only deceive ignorant foreigners.

Lixiang took Su Xinyuan into an old teahouse full of tourists, and the second child in the store immediately recognized her, hurriedly and respectfully greeted her, and led her and Su Xinyuan into a remote corridor.

The shopkeeper was dressed in a gray robe and a round hat, and except that he did not have a long braid, he looked like he had crossed over from the Qing Dynasty.

This is the general impression that Westerners have of Orientals, and in Chinatown, in order to cater to these Western tourists, many shops have service staff dressed in this exaggerated way.

The shopkeeper took the two of them through the labyrinthine winding corridor, and finally came to a bird-like platform in the Tang Dynasty, this ancient architectural style is no longer common in the Oriental Continent today, but it was inherited by Dongying, so it looks like there is a strong wind.

The tables and chairs in the hall are widely spaced, and the seated guests do not communicate with each other, and the atmosphere is slightly dull.

Reika told Su Xinyuan that these were bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters, a special creature of the underworld. Their identities vary widely, from retired special forces with unique skills, cold-blooded killers, martial artists, and even ordinary people such as lawyers, professors, and government officials.

As long as you have a skill, you can become a bounty hunter and receive your own bounty tasks from the underworld.

Bounty hunters are always loners, they don't inquire into each other's private information, and occasionally three or five hunters join forces for difficult tasks, but there are never large-scale groups and organizations, which is the biggest difference between them and the other forces in the underworld.

Su Xinyuan's eyes searched around the hall, but he didn't find Yang Yi's figure.

"Miss Chen and this gentleman, please use it slowly, our shopkeeper will be here soon." The shopkeeper poured tea and then retreated.

"Lixiang, it seems that you are quite good here, and even the boss has to come to entertain you in person." Su Xinyuan quipped.

"The owner of this teahouse is called Uncle Huang, and he is very famous in Chinatown, and all the bounty tasks in the New York Underground World are entrusted by the gold owner to be released." Reika said.

"Uncle Huang? The name of this boss is quite interesting! Is it the uncle surnamed Huang? Or the emperor's uncle? Su Xinyuan said with a smile.

"You'll know when you see him in a moment." Reika deliberately sold a pass.

Soon, a plump middle-aged man strode over. He was wearing a Qing-style yellow horse coat and a small round hat with a golden tripod, and his appearance was kind but not lacking in grace.

"Reika, it's been a long time since I've seen you! Two days ago I heard someone say that you returned to New York, and I still don't believe it. There's no reason why you won't come to see me when you come back, right? Now I'm finally seeing you! The middle-aged man said with some excitement.

"Uncle Huang." Reika stood up and saluted.

Su Xinyuan also hurriedly stood up, and then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Judging from his dress, it doesn't look like "Uncle Huang" but "Uncle Huang".

"Sit down, sit down!" Uncle Huang beckoned the two to sit down, only then did he look at Su Xinyuan curiously, in his impression, Lixiang never seemed to have been so close to a man, "Who is this little brother?" ”

"Hello Uncle Huang, my surname is Su, my name is Su Xinyuan, and I am a friend of Lixiang." Before Lixiang could speak, Su Xinyuan took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Oh...... It turned out to be Mr. Su......" After hearing this name, the expression on Uncle Huang's face changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised. But he quickly concealed his emotions, shook his head and said, "My surname is Aixin Jueluo, and now that I am old, my friends on the road politely call me 'Uncle Huang', which is really ashamed!" ”

"Love Xin Jueluo!" Su Xinyuan was a little surprised and said, "This is the emperor's surname!" ”

"Uncle Huang is a descendant of the Qing royal family." Reika said.

"Hey...... It's really a shame to say that my great-grandfather left his hometown in that turbulent era and moved to New York in Citigroup Country is now a new era, and I am just the shopkeeper of a small teahouse, where do I dare to risk the majesty of my ancestors. Uncle Huang sighed a little, and asked instead, "By the way, Lixiang, you also came back this time for the SS-level bounty mission that caused a lot of trouble in the city, right?" ”

"Well, I don't know if Uncle Huang can tell us the specific situation." Reika nodded and said.

"Half a year ago, the grandson of Old Kerry, a wealthy businessman on the East Coast and known as the world's candy king, was kidnapped in New York, and Old Kerry used all the black and white relationships to find the whereabouts of his grandson, and finally had to turn to the bounty hunters in the underground world, and offered a sky-high price of 100 million US dollars." Uncle Huang said.

"And what kind of man is this old Kerry's grandson?" Su Xinyuan asked.

Kerry Jr. was a top student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he came to New York to attend the World Internet Conference. It is said that Kerry Jr. is a young elite in the Internet industry, and at the conference that day, several gangsters suddenly broke into the venue and took away Kerry Jr. and several of his classmates. Uncle Huang said.

In the matter of rescuing the kidnapped hostages, Su Xinyuan is quite experienced. He once successfully rescued the nine-year-old grandson of a wealthy man on the Santa Maria.

But now it seems that the kidnapped little Kerry is not an ignorant toddler.

Su Xinyuan continued to ask suspiciously, "I heard that the kidnappers did not ask for ransom, could this be the revenge that old Kerry suffered for offending his opponent in business?" ”

"It's very unlikely." Uncle Huang shook his head and said, "The Kerry family has monopolized the candy industry in the Americas for hundreds of years, and there are no competitors at all, and they do not carry out commercial expansion in any other industry except for the candy industry. ”

"Then this kidnapping case is a bit weird, the kidnappers are neither for financial gain nor for revenge, so what do they want to do when they kidnap Little Kerry?" Su Xinyuan said very puzzled.

Uncle Huang also pondered for a while before he said slowly, "Moreover, I have heard some other things. ”

"What's the matter?" Su Xinyuan immediately asked.

"About two years ago, there have been bizarre kidnapping cases all over the United States, missing students and professors from universities, or employees of companies, or freelancers, but they all have one thing in common, that is, computer experts! At first, I didn't care about it, and I didn't connect them until the kidnapping of Kerry Jr. half a year ago......," Uncle Huang said worriedly.

"You mean these kidnappings were all committed by the same gang!" Su Xinyuan suddenly realized, "And you also said just now that Little Kerry is also a master of computers!" It is likely that the purpose of these kidnappers is to take a fancy to their common computer expertise! ”

It was only at this time that Su Xinyuan realized that the water in this kidnapping case was very deep.

This is most likely the work of a mysterious group of giants, and what is their intention in controlling so many computer experts?

"Reika, you're really here!" Yang Yi stepped forward excitedly and said.

When he appeared on the field, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience. After all, this young man is known as the Bounty Hunter, and he is a myth in this industry.

Lixiang was very indifferent to Yang Yi's reaction, Yang Yi knew that he was not interested, so he first said hello to Uncle Huang, and then looked at Su Xinyuan provocatively.

"The surname Su, even if you have a kind, you really dare to come to the appointment, it's not just a little white face raised by a rich lady as the legend says." Yang Yi said contemptuously. It seems that in one night, he has basically figured out the details of Su Xinyuan, which is not a difficult thing for him.

Su Xinyuan was not angry, after experiencing several storms, he had already precipitated.

If a person drinks water and knows it, he doesn't care what others think of his relationship with Mu Ningxue.

Hongchen has been troubled since ancient times, and it is difficult to find the heart of a white head.

He has Mu Ningxue in his heart, and Mu Ningxue has him in his heart. That's enough.

Yang Yi continued, "Today, we will ask Uncle Huang to be a witness, this SS-level bounty task depends on whether you Su Xinyuan will win it first, or my bounty hunter Yang Yi will win it first." If you win, I, Yang Yi, will never pester Lixiang again! But if you lose, Reika must become my wife right away! ”

Su Xinyuan glanced at Lixiang, Lixiang's face was cold and didn't have much expression.

But from her eyes, Su Xinyuan understood something.

"Good! We're sure of it! Su Xinyuan said firmly.

"I am very honored to be this witness, and I hope you will keep your promise today!" Uncle Huang stood up, and a sense of majesty suddenly stirred up under his originally kind appearance, which was his true face as the master of the underworld of Chinatown.
