Chapter 177: Someone from the Embassy
Downstairs to the living room, two men in suits were sitting on the couch, and Ruth was sitting next to them talking to them.
When I walked to the front, I saw a middle-aged man and a young man, both with familiar yellow faces. The middle-aged uncle suddenly stood up when he saw me, "Richard? Hello, I'm from the Embassy in the UK. This is my business card, and I came today to confirm your personal safety. ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed over a business card.
Glancing at the name on the business card, Li Jianguo.
I subconsciously raised my eyebrows and smiled and put the business card in my pocket, and couldn't help muttering in my heart, I didn't expect to meet a family in a foreign country.
Li Jianguo took out a voice recorder from his pocket again, and said with a smile: "In addition to coming over to confirm that your personal safety is not threatened or harmed, another purpose of our coming here today is to investigate last night's incident." I'm going to make some notes while investigating, and I hope you understand. You probably don't know yet, this matter is quite a big trouble in China. ”
I smiled wryly, "No, I know. When I woke up this morning, I saw more than 300 calls on my mobile phone, thanks to them, I didn't brush my face without brushing my teeth, I first lay on the bed and scrolled Weibo for half an hour. ”
Li Jianguo smiled: "It seems that your friends are quite concerned about you." So the first question, what happened last night after the live signal was cut off? ”
"Last night, I fought with them after the live signal was cut off......"
I told Li Jianguo about what happened last night. After that, Li Jianguo asked a few more questions, such as the reason for the fight and whether he was injured, and I answered them one by one.
After the last question, Li Jianguo put away the recorder, smiled and stretched out his hand to me, a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope you can understand the reason why we do this." The heat of your last night in China is beyond our imagination, and last night we received hundreds of transatlantic phone calls from China, all of which were about your business. If you encounter something similar in the future, remember to find the police or embassy, and we will try to help. ”
The meaning of Li Jianguo's words is very simple, that is, there is a lot of movement in the domestic incident, which has alarmed the embassy. So the embassy sent him to understand the situation, and then gave an official reply to those netizens in China to calm down the negative impact of this matter.
I smiled and shook my head and said no, then shook hands with Li Jianguo, and then Li Jianguo left with the young man.
When Li Jianguo walked out of the door, I sat directly on the sofa, and my upper body fell directly on the sofa. When I was talking to Li Jianguo's middle-aged uncle just now, I kept my chest up, my head up, and my waist straight, and every muscle on my back was tense. The wound that had finally healed was directly beaten back to its original shape, and the pain was scorching.
After lying on the sofa for a while and feeling better, I struggled to get up and prepare to go upstairs to my room, and as soon as I got up, I saw that Flower was wearing a black tight tank top, a black woolen hat on his head, camouflage pants on his lower body, and a pair of black military boots on his feet.
I was stunned for a moment, "Are you going to go on a mission?" ”
The old man shook his head seriously, "I'm going to pick up Rhodes from school." ”
I couldn't help but laugh, "You can dress up like this when you go to pick up Rhodes from school?" I guess before you get to the kindergarten gate, the police have to treat you as a terrorist and arrest you. ”
The old man's face was stern, "No, you don't understand." It's a battle. A crucial battle. The enemy I'm going to face is stronger than ever. ”
I was stunned, "Your enemy... Where is it sacred? ”
Flower said lightly, "My son, Stilwell." ”
Then I remembered that Rhodes was taken away by his son, Stilwell, Rhodes' father, the day before yesterday, and before leaving, Stilwell said that he would never let Rhodes come here this weekend.
I took out my phone and glanced at the date, Friday...
Well, all of a sudden everything was explained. What a crucial battle, what an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, this old man in the second middle school is dressed like this and is planning to rob his grandson with his son!
Flower walked up to the door and waved at Ruth and me, "Alright, I'm leaving." You just wait for my good news! ”
I rolled my eyes and suddenly called out to Flower, "Eh, wait. How about I go with you? ”
"You?"
Flower gave me a disgusted look, "Why are you a disabled person with no mobility going with me?" Make me a mess and be a burden to me? ”
I rolled my eyes, but I didn't dare to go back. After thinking for a while, I suddenly thought of an excuse and smiled, "I can give you a look." If Stilwell comes, I'll tell you as soon as I can, and I'll give you a few minutes to run with Rhodes. ”
Flore's eyes lit up, and he was clearly moved. I looked at the old man's expression and was overjoyed, seeing that there was a drama like this!
After thinking for a moment, Flower nodded, "There's some truth to what you say. Well, you impressed me, so come with me. ”
Walking out of the house to the side of the road and getting into the car, Flower immediately started the car and drove towards the kindergarten where Rhodes was located.
Half an hour later, Flower and I arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten. Flor Mali unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, "I'll go and go back." ”
I nodded palely and didn't speak. I'm afraid that as soon as I speak, I'll vomit out everything I ate last night.
In just half an hour, Flower's average speed was 100 miles per hour, and on the streets of London, this old man drove an ordinary Rover out of a Lamborghini Ferrari supercar, and it also made me experience what it was like to get motion sickness for the first time in my life.
"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me."
Just as I was leaning back in the back seat to catch my breath, the phone in my trouser pocket suddenly rang. I got into the phone weakly, "Hey? Who is it? ”
A wry laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Li Jianguo, I have something to ask you." ”
Li Jianguo? How could he have my phone?
I hugged my stomach and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Jianguo's voice sounded extremely helpless, "I'm at the door of Chengyi's hotel room now, but this girl doesn't believe that I'm from the embassy, and thinks we're liars and won't let me in." I'm still yelling to call the police, and I can only come and beg you to help me testify. ”
I couldn't stop laughing, "That's it." You give her the phone and I'll help you talk to her. ”
After helping Li Jianguo explain clearly to Chengyi, I hung up the phone, and the car door was suddenly opened. A child was stuffed in,
"Rhodes?!"
