Ask for recommendations, ask for support!!

Yang Mu didn't care, but after such a mistake, he left the matter of learning English behind.
The three walked out of the departure hall and got into a taxi.
The driver asked in English with a thick accent, "Where are the three going?" ”
"The Peninsula!"
Molinov sat in the co-pilot's seat, casually reported the destination, and then turned back to Yang Mu and said: "Hong Kong Island has been occupied by the British for a hundred years, and people here are used to using language to treat them differently. Speaking English, especially fluent in the London accent, would be respected. Secondly, you can speak Japanese, Hong Kong, Wandao, and even Vietnamese.
The worst is to speak Huaxia, especially Huaxia with a northern accent...... However, Hong Kong Island will soon return, and that may change. Let's come this time, you try not to use Huaxia as much as possible. ”
Molinov was in French, and Yang Mu couldn't help frowning.
He didn't understand why speaking Huaxia was discriminated against in the land of China.
However, Molinov doesn't seem to want to talk too much to Yang Mu on this issue. This is a question left over from history, and it cannot be explained in just a few sentences. Besides, he is a Russian and does not know much about the history of China. In this case, Molinov did not know how to explain it properly.
Hong Kong Island is located in southern China, east of the Pearl River estuary, north of the Peng River, and Pengcheng.
It faces Las Vegas across the sea in the west and the South China Sea in the south, and is composed of more than 23o islands such as Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Island, the New Territories and Lantau Island. Hong Kong Island is a cosmopolitan city and the third largest financial centre today after New York and London. At the same time, it enjoys a variety of reputations as an important financial, service and shipping center in Asia.
Yang Mu sat in the car and looked at this century-old port city through the car window.
I have to say that this is the most prosperous city he has ever seen, with high-rise buildings and busy streets...... However, in this seemingly prosperous city, Yang Mu can still feel a kind of impetuousness and a restless atmosphere.
This is the land of China, but for some reason, it is so unfamiliar, and even with a sense of alienation.
Yang Mu was even a little worried, he was afraid that one day he would really return to Huaxia, would he feel like this?
Master said, "I'm scared of my hometown!"
Could it be that I am in this kind of situation now?
Thinking of this, Yang Mu's thoughts became a little confused......
Suddenly there was a sound on the taxi radio.
Immediately after, I saw the driver slap the steering wheel and curse in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Mu came back to his senses and asked casually.
The driver immediately explained in stammering English: "Gentlemen, I'm very sorry...... Just now, the radio said that the road leading to the Peninsula Hotel was closed by the police, and we were afraid that we would have to take a detour and delay some time. ”
"Closed?" Molinov asked: "Why the road closure?" ”
The driver smiled bitterly: "There was a shootout in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the police are currently sending reinforcements on 6, and it is estimated that it will last for a while." Damn street boy, he has already made so much money, what kind of little brother is pretending, he actually dares to hijack the prisoner car. ”
The driver's last two sentences were in Hong Kong Island, so Molinov didn't understand.
On the contrary, Yang Mu vaguely guessed a little meaning, so he talked to Molinov in French.
"What the hell is going on? What hijacking a prisoner car? ”
"Mr. knows Huaxia?"
Molinov hurriedly shook his head and stretched out his finger to point at Yang Mu, "This is my friend, who has lived in Huaxia before, so he can understand some Huaxia language." ”
The driver immediately understood what Molinov meant, turned his head and said in broken Mandarin: "Sir, I can speak some Mandarin." ”
"That's the best, may I ask what you just said about hijacking the prisoner car?"
The driver was a talkative person, but he spoke Mandarin awkwardly.
"My husband may be the first time to come to Hong Kong Island, so I don't know what happened a few days ago. In May this year, Li Ren's son was kidnapped, and the other party extorted one billion Hong Kong dollars from him, which was a big incident at the time. After receiving the ransom, the kidnappers fled Hong Kong Island. It was only one of their accomplices who was arrested by the police for carrying arms ten days before the kidnapping. Today was to transfer that person to Stanley Prison, but he was ambushed in Tsim Sha Tsui. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
As Yang Mu was speaking, he heard the shrill sound of a siren.
Several police cars whizzed past the taxi in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui.
The driver smiled wryly: "Isn't this about to return?" That's why it's so messy...... The cows, ghosts, gods and snakes all ran out to make money, and they all wanted to take advantage of the fact that they had not been taken over by the big 6 and ran away. It was reported on the radio just now that Tsim Sha Tsui has become a mess, and the bandits have been armed with heavy weapons and killed many people, so we had better divert the route. ”
Babu suddenly interjected: "Mu Mu, how do you feel here, it's even more chaotic than Monrovia." ”
Monrovia is now home to peacekeepers, and despite the chaos elsewhere, it is still relatively calm in the city.
Yang Mu glanced at Molinov, and then said to the driver: "In this case, let's change the route." ”
He didn't come to Hong Kong Island to be the one who saved the world. As for the chaos ahead, it has nothing to do with him. As long as those bandits didn't provoke them, Yang Mu didn't want to interfere. Anyway, there are Hong Kong Island police handling it.
"Brother, you're lucky, you're from the United States now.
Don't you know how chaotic Hong Kong Island has been in the past two years...... There are those big conglomerates above who are desperately making money, and there are associations below that are rampant and domineering. This year, another group of kidnappers has popped up, and they are also very powerful. The big guy Ye Huan they want to rob this time is said to be their boss. But they also have a boss named Zhang Shihao, who is also a ruthless character. ”
The driver turned around and complained helplessly.
"Patten can't manage these things at all, and it is still us who are unlucky.
To tell you the truth, I have to carry a machete with me when I go out of the night train now, otherwise I won't dare to go out. But don't worry, things like this aren't common today...... Hong Kong Island is still very good, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry too much. ”
The driver complained for a while, maybe he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly talked about the benefits of Hong Kong Island.
He praised Hong Kong Island as a flower, where there are delicious food, where there are cheap discount shops, where there are beautiful girls, they are all clearly introduced. Molinov couldn't understand what he was saying, so he could only stare at him with Babu. And Yang Mu, always with an innocent smile, quietly listened to the driver's introduction, but the left ear went in and the right ear went out.
How good is Hong Kong Island?
Nothing to do with him!
He was just a passer-by in a hurry, and his destination was in China.

The Peninsula is a historic hotel on Hong Kong Island and one of the most luxurious and prestigious hotels on Hong Kong Island and in the world.
It is located on Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, facing Victoria Harbour and boasting stunning harbour views.
It is surrounded by famous shopping malls and is well equipped with commercial and entertainment facilities. Milton Road is right next to it, and it's a dizzying sight to see all along the way.
The Peninsula is one of the top 10 most famous hotels in the world and has hosted countless celebrities.
The Rolls-Royce team under its name, which is the largest Rolls-Royce team in the world, can be called a status symbol.
Beautiful lobby with soft lighting.
It doesn't seem like the first time Molinov has stayed here, and he seems to be familiar with it.
After getting out of the car, he paid the driver double the fare and asked the driver to thank him again and again. Yang Mu carried a backpack, got out of the car with Babu, and stood outside the gate of the Peninsula Hotel, he actually had a wonderful feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
"Maury, you've lived here?"
After checking in in the lobby, Yang Mu couldn't help but ask Molinov.
Molinov smiled: "I've been here a few times, but this hotel is also the second time to stay, and last time I accompanied our head over." ”
Yang Mu nodded and stopped talking.
"Our rooms were all on the twenty-eighth floor and were two luxury suites.
I'll live with Babu, and you'll live with yourself...... This is your key card, you put it away. ”
Yang Mu took the room card from Molinov's hand, and then asked, "When will we contact Sister Miyuki's customer?" ”
"Well, I'm not in a hurry for these two days.
Anyway, we're going to stay here for a few days, and then we'll get in touch with each other. Miyoki isn't here now, and we can't do a lot of things. Instead of contacting the other party so early, it is better to familiarize yourself with it first. ”
The elevator stops on the twenty-eighth floor.
Yang Mu carried his luggage, walked out of the elevator with Molinov, and quickly found the room and opened the door with the room card.
