But just before leaving, he received a call from Candace.

"Hey! How is everything? ”

I haven't had a good chat for a while, and Candace's attitude towards Jin Muchen seems to be a little rusty, which makes Jin Muchen feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's still the same as before, helping out at Fang Bo's antique shop every day, and going around Manhattan on weekends. What about you? Feeling better? ”

"Well, it's a lot better...... I'm sorry...... Really busy lately......"

Candace's words made Jin Muchen a little happy, and it seemed that she had gradually come out of her previous state.

In fact, Candace was so cold to him some time ago, and he fully understood that once he was put on the spot by Helen, Candace was likely to misunderstand the relationship between himself and Candace.

Immediately before he had time to explain to her, he encountered her kidnapping by Joey, and experienced such a thrilling scene, seeing the murder on the spot, and it was her cousin, although the purpose was to save her, but such a thing, for a girl like her who is not deeply involved in the world, I am afraid it is still difficult to digest and accept it quickly.

The fact that she was able to call today has already made Jin Muchen feel a little surprised, and now she actually apologizes to herself, which shows that things between the two have begun to take a turn for the better, and Candace is still willing to continue with herself......

"Nothing? I can understand that this time last year, I was also very busy. How about it, the exams are all over, are there any holidays? ”

Every year before Christmas, it's the busiest time for all college students in the U.S., because they have an exam at this time.

After the exam, everyone will have a short vacation ranging from two to three weeks, especially for everyone and their families to spend Christmas and New Year's Day.

"Well, I just finished the exam yesterday, and today is the start of the holiday. By the way, what are you going to do today? ”

Hearing Candace ask like this, Jin Muchen was even happier in her heart, it seemed that she was planning to ask herself out, but at this time she was already sitting in the car, he turned his head to look at the luggage behind the car, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"I've had something to do these days!"

Jin Muchen smiled secretly and deliberately said on the phone, and when Candace over there heard him say this, his voice was obviously a little emotional.

"Oh? Is that so? ”

"Don't worry Candace, it's like this, I'm just going to go to Washington today. I was just thinking, you also happened to have a holiday today, why don't we take a winter trip to Washington together? I had all the room and board. ”

Jin Muchen sent an invitation to Candace, in fact, he was also a little upset in his heart at this time.

Sure enough, after listening to Candace, he didn't rush to answer, he could only hear her breathing from the earpiece, and it took a while for Candace to reply.

"Hmm...... Well......"

yes！ Jin Muchen waved his fist vigorously in the car.

"Okay, you clean up, I'll pick you up."

After speaking, without waiting for Candace to answer, Jin Muchen hung up the phone, he knew that at this time he had to be resolute, lest the girl would be shaken after a long time.

This is also a little trick that the seniors taught him, when you and the girl are a little hesitant about something, you must be firm at this time, so that you will appear more assertive, and the girls often will not reject your move to help make decisions.

He drove to the main entrance of the delicious bakery, and it was not yet nine o'clock in the morning, and the bakery had not yet opened, but Aunt Mary of Candace, who was already busy in the shop, saw his car stop at the door, and beckoned him to come in and sit down, and brought him a shrimp roll and a cup of strong coffee.

After a while, Candace came downstairs, with only a small suitcase and a backpack in his hand, Jin Muchen hurriedly greeted him with a smile and took the luggage in her hand.

Aunt Mary was a little surprised to see Candace dressed like this, but after Candace whispered a few words to her, a smile appeared on the old lady's face.

"Hey! Be nice to my baby, boy, or I won't let you go. ”

"Don't worry, Mary, I will!"

Jin Muchen replied with a smile, and took Candace out of the door and got into the car.

Seeing that Christmas is approaching, the traffic on the road is starting to increase, especially in big cities like New York, where more and more cars are leaving the city.

The car stopped in New York City for a long time before leaving New York City, such a traffic situation couldn't help but remind Jin Muchen of the Spring Festival in China.

In fact, the situation on both sides is really somewhat similar, Christmas for Americans, and the Spring Festival of Chinese, so every Christmas, people will choose to go back to their hometown to reunite with their families.

New York is a huge city of immigrants, with migrant workers from all over the world, and of course more from all over the United States, and on Christmas Eve, many of them choose to leave a few days early and go home to be with their families.

So during this time, the highway seemed to be very congested, but Candace, who was more familiar with the situation in the United States than Jin Muchen, told him that it was not the most congested time.

The most congested days should be the Boxing Day after Christmas, when many shopping malls will have discounts and promotions, so the traffic in the city will be congested on that day.

After Boxing Day, because many people will choose to travel with their families, the highways out of the city and outside the city during that time will be out of the box.

Because this period of time happens to be the season of heavy snowfall in the United States, at this time of year, when the cold air from the north passes through the Great Lakes region, it will bring very humid air, and when it encounters the warm current blowing from the Gulf of Mexico, it will bring a lot of rain and snowfall to the east coast of the United States, so this time is often the stage when the highway conditions on the east coast of the United States are frequent.

Hearing what Candace said, Jin Muchen drove very carefully along the way, because just yesterday, there was a blizzard on the east coast, and a lot of snow on the highway had not even had time to clear up.

Although he drove very slowly, he began to see a lot of car accident scenes along the way.

The distance from New York to Washington is 230 miles, about more than 300 kilometers, and it usually takes six hours to drive, but because of the heavy snow, Jin Muchen's car drove very slowly, and he walked for three hours before arriving in Philadelphia.

When he got here, Jin Muchen planned to take a break, so he found a roadside restaurant and took Candace to have lunch.

"Candace, in fact, what you saw between Helen and me that day was a misunderstanding, and it was Helen who deliberately tricked me, so I ......"

After coming out of the city, Candace didn't talk much, and the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward during the three-hour journey, so Jin Muchen decided to explain it to Candace first.

"I know, Helen did it on purpose......"

Candace smiled lightly, but the smile on her face was a little bitter, Jin Muchen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, so he asked Candace out loud.

"When Candace was in school, I often saw you and Helen together, and you seemed like very close friends at the time, but what happened between you? How did it come to be the way it is? Forehead...... I know it's a bit presumptuous to ask this, but if you don't want to sue me, you can not sue me. ”

Candace lowered his head and played with the fries in his hand for a while, then raised his head to look at Jin Muchen and sighed.

"Well, there's nothing you can't say. I actually knew Candace and I when we were kids, my dad was in the army at the time, and I don't know how he and Candace's dad knew each other, but they had a pretty good relationship. My family moved to New Hampshire, but Candace and I have always been in touch. Then my dad started a security company, and through his friends in Washington, he took a lot of contracts in the Middle East......"

Candace was a little hesitant when she said this, but she was firm when she said it, and it was obvious that she also knew what kind of business her father was involved in.

And Jin Muchen couldn't help but be surprised this time, he really didn't expect that the one sitting in front of him was actually the daughter of the legendary contractor in the Middle East.

Those contractors are all big names, such as Blackwater, Halliburton, etc., and in addition to these large contractors, there are hundreds of small and medium-sized contractors.

They do jobs that even the U.S. military is unwilling to do, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are born and die.

Of course, they also get handsomely paid by the US Department of Defense, and it is said that more than 40 percent of the trillions of military spending in the Middle East by the United States have gone into the pockets of these contractors.

I really didn't expect that Candace's father actually did this, and Jin Muchen felt that his brain was a little down.

"About a few months ago, my father's company received a contract to participate in an escort operation in the Iraqi region, and the military also sent a representative. That rep was called Martin. Haber also comes from a large family in New York, but more importantly, he is also the crush of Helen......"

When Candace said this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window, Jin Muchen felt that there must have been something between her and that Martin, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

"Later, unfortunately, this escort failed, Martin also disappeared, and things made a big fuss. As a result, my father's company was charged a huge fine for failing to fulfill the contract and ended up going bankrupt, and my father was also ...... And Helen's temperament has changed dramatically after that incident, and she has turned against me! ”。
