Chapter 22: The New Yorker
Two days later, on Dubai's Palm Island, a white yacht docked at the public berth, and a chic Asian man in a white sailor suit got off the boat, and casually rewarded the mooring staff with a hundred dollars, he was Liu Handong after the makeover.
Since entering the work of Yanhuang in Zhongzhong, Liu Handong has appeared in the image of a beard, and suddenly shaved off his beard, the whole person seems to be ten years younger, his complexion is dark, the bridge of his nose is high, his figure is burly, and he speaks fluent Arabic, ordinary people can't see his origin at all.
Liu Handong was carrying a suitcase full of dollar bills, he had a lot of money, the cash stored on Adventure Island was only part of it, and there was more money in his bank accounts in Zài Colin and Switzerland, which he did not plan to use for safety.
Dubai is a very realistic city, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, Liu Handong walked into a bar, and suddenly a bewitching girl came over to tease, Liu Handong told her euphemistically, he only likes men, the girl smiled and left, the bartender came over, with a strange smile on his face, before he pimped, Liu Handong put two fingers between the dollars and stuffed it: "Borrow a phone and use it." ”
He used the phone of the bar to contact Hassan, a document dealer in Dubai, unfortunately, Hassan was not in Dubai, and he introduced another person to take over the business, and the two sides agreed on the location of the joint, and after some bargaining, finally bought a genuine Taiwanese passport at a price of 50,000 US dollars, but the person in the photo looked a little different, and he still needed to do some appropriate minor surgery.
For the sake of safety, Liu Handong spent money on a cosmetic surgery, shaved the jawbone, straightened the bridge of the nose, and opened double eyelids, he and the overall outline of the man on the passport are relatively close, so the operation is not too complicated, the plastic surgery hospital is a low hospital, and the real identity of the customer is not required, and after the plastic surgery is completed, the archive will be destroyed, of course, you don't come to find the aftermath of the operation.
A month later, Liu Handong looked at himself in the mirror, compared to the stranger on the passport, and now he has a new identity, called Li Ang, a native of Hsinchu, Taiwan.
"Li Ang" booked a ticket to New York, and because Taiwanese passports are visa-free, he can fly directly to the United States.
……
The news of Liu Handong's disappearance has not been widely publicized, and in internal reports, his disappearance is actually equivalent to death, and even if he does not die, the rest of this person's life must be spent incognito.
On the military's pursuit list, Liu Handong is listed in the list of renegades, and belongs to a category of people who can be executed on the spot.
Song Jianfeng resigned from the position of general manager and chairman of Zhongyanhuang, and temporarily served as the director of a policy research office of the central government, and his rank remained unchanged, while Zheng Jiayi also left Zhongyanhuang and did not look for a new job for the time being.
Unit T has been reorganized, some of its personnel have been transferred to other units, and some cadres have been transferred to other localities, and the public security system welcomes this kind of special forces officers.
Luohan changed careers, he never dreamed that he would take off his military uniform one day, in his imagination, the military is a lifelong profession, either the horse leather shroud is returned, or the general uniform is covered with a military flag to be buried, there is no third possibility, but the truth is cruel, he has no place in the army, fortunately his uncle's connections are still there, he transferred to the Ministry of State Security, and still does his old job, a field agent.
There are also some volunteers who are directly discharged, such as Cheng Weiguo.
In the spring season, retired non-commissioned officer Cheng Weiguo arrived at Omi Yutan International Airport by plane, took the airport bus to the city to transfer to the train, got off the airport high, and the vehicles increased, a bus and the airport bus were parallel, and the female driver on the car was actually a pregnant woman, she wore a ponytail braid, wore blue overalls and sleeves, and took out a lunch box to gobble up dumplings when waiting for the red light.
The green light turned on, the female driver started very fast, the bus took the lead, and Cheng Weiguo only saw the three numbers 52o on the back of the car.
It was Ma Ling who was driving, she was engrossed in driving the car, she couldn't see any expression on her face wearing sunglasses, the car arrived at the terminal, the passengers got off, she pulled out the key and got off the car, handed over the shift, and rode the electric scooter home, now she lives alone, living in a rental house on Iron Slag Street, on the issue of whether to keep the child, her parents had a serious conflict with her, Ma Ling has no hesitation to give birth to this child, even if there is no father after birth.
Ma Guoqing retired, and the relevant departments told him about Liu Handong, and the Ma family handed over all the hundreds of thousands of huge sums remitted by Liu Handong several times, because this was embezzled money.
The street neighborhood committee accepted the task of the superiors and implemented key monitoring of the Ma family, Ma Guoqing was extremely sad, he had been a policeman all his life, and finally ended up like this, he hated Liu Handong, and felt even more sorry for his daughter, Ma Ling was ruined by this kid, the child has a stubborn temper and insists on going his own way, sooner or later she will understand the hard work of being a parent.
The Liu family, far away in Jiangbei, was in a similar situation to the Ma family, the "stolen money" was confiscated, the villa was also sealed, He Jian and Shui Cress returned to their original husband's house to live, rented a stall in the vegetable market, and continued to sell fish.
Her son is missing, Shui Cress has aged ten years old overnight, her head is half white, her back is also rickety, she is often absent-minded in her work, and there is only one motivation to support her to persevere, that is, to hold her grandson.
Every month, He Jian would send money to the Ma family, ranging from hundreds to thousands, and each time it would be returned.
Liu Hannan returned to China and continued to stay at home, and it is said that he began to write novels on the Internet, but his family was against it, but he insisted on going his own way, saying that he wanted to write about his brother's deeds.
……
Standing on the bustling Broadway Avenue in Manhattan, Liu Handong looked up at the colorful billboards, including Chinese characters, Baidu, Alibaba, and Bluestone Hi-Tech, which are powerful Chinese companies, have made advertising in Times Square.
Liu Handong has lived in New York for three months, and has gradually become familiar with the environment here, his English level has improved by leaps and bounds, there is no problem with daily conversation, he has money, and there are millions of cash stored in the safe in his apartment, so he doesn't have to work in the dark, he goes to the library to read books and go to Columbia University to take classes on weekdays.
Columbia University is in Manhattan, and it is said that Huanxi also studied here, Liu Handong has a faint hope in his heart, and wants to meet his old friend in a foreign land, but he has not met him for a long time in Columbia, but he has become a celebrity by chance.
It was a time when I was reading a book in the library, Liu Handong passed by a white female student who was reading hard, and caught a glimpse of the biography in her hand was the "Biography of Chen Zikun" written by Professor Shao Wenyuan, and couldn't help but stop and look at it twice, the white chick naturally said hello to him, Liu Handong also nodded slightly, Columbia University is full of elites, and it is not surprising that Professor Shao's fans appear.
Unexpectedly, the white chick looked at Liu Handong seriously and said, "Hey, you know what, you are very similar to the hero of this book." ”
"I'm not as good as Chen Dashuai." Liu Handong replied.
"Have you read the book?" The white chick's eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
"Yes, I did." Liu Handong has no one to communicate with except for talking to the landlord and the salesperson on weekdays, and he is panicked, so he will not let go of this opportunity, and he casually said a few allusions to Chen Zikun, which were all told to him by his grandfather, of course, there is no one in the book.
"Oh God, can you help me, please." The white chick widened her eyes, "My name is Lucy, and I'm writing a paper about Marshal Chen, you know, if you want to write a wonderful paper, you need unpopular information, everyone knows the content of the book, nothing new, by the way, are you from China?" ”
"I'm from Taiwan." Liu Handong said, "It just so happens that I also study history, and I think I can help you." ”
"Great, I'll treat you to coffee." Lucy is a self-acquaintance and enthusiastic.
After a conversation at the café, Liu Handong learned that the library where he often reads books was donated by Chen Zikun, and that there is also a Chen Zikun Foundation within Columbia University to reward outstanding students from the sixth year, and Professor Lindbergh of the school's Institute of Chinese History said that Chen Zikun is a key figure in the study of modern Chinese history.
Lucy chatted with Liu Handong for an afternoon, admired his knowledge beyond measure, and simply introduced him to Professor Lindbergh, who didn't take it seriously at first, but after some exchanges, it became clear that this young man from Taiwan has a solid foundation in Chinese studies, not only familiar with modern history, but also more proficient in ancient history. He didn't know that Liu Handong was a protégé of the famous Professor Shao Wenyuan, and although he was only an undergraduate, he had read a large number of ancient classics under Professor Shao's personal guidance, which was enough to deter a foreign researcher.
"I need an assistant, are you interested?" Lindbergh extended an olive branch.
"Of course." Liu Handong was in need of a whitewash, so he agreed without hesitation.
As a result, Li Ang, a Taiwanese, became a staff member at Columbia University's Institute of Chinese History, but only as a personal employee of Lindbergh.
Liu Handong has a foothold in New York, he rented a small apartment in Manhattan, where every inch of land is expensive, bought a second-hand Mustang car, with a pair of tortoiseshell-edged flat glasses, looks old-fashioned, he wears a pullover and jeans sneakers, likes to go to the gym to exercise after work, and likes to go to Central Park to ride a bicycle.
In order to hide his traces, Liu Handong has never logged on his mailbox, WeChat, QQ and other qiē contact social tools, let alone called home, he wants to convince everyone that Liu Handong is dead, including his family, it is difficult to do this, it is difficult, but he still did it.
