Chapter 634: Ambition
Three days later, bidding farewell to his new wife, Li Renjie stepped on a ship bound for Calgotta.
He went alone.
The Dragon Group, or the country, didn't want to have anything to do with this mission, and it was impossible for Chen Dong to send the Dragon Group to assist.
Li Renjie originally wanted to ask Xu Taro and others for help, but Chen Dong categorically vetoed it.
Chen Dong's reason is that the goal is big when there are many people, and it is easy to be noticed, which will be very troublesome.
Everyone knows that the Grim Reaper has a close relationship with the Dragon Group, and asking Xu Taro and others to help is just to cover it up, and the fool also knows that the mastermind behind this operation is the Dragon Group.
It's not the same to let Li Renjie go alone!
Although Li Renjie is the boss of the Grim Reaper, the boss will be angry, fired by his subordinates, and become a loner.
Closely related to the Dragons is the Grim Reaper's organization, not a single person.
An ownerless and lonely soul has to live, and it makes sense to do something out of the ordinary at the end of the road. Even if it is discovered and caught, the country will not fall into passivity.
As for the helper, Chen Dong had already helped Li Renjie find it, and they were all waiting in the Chinatown of Calgotta, so he sent Li Renjie, the head figure, to lead.
The mission code name is Operation Tongyu!
The so-called secluded is hell.
To be able to come and go freely in hell is to be able to come and go freely.
Everyone in the world knows that going to hell is not a difficult thing, and if you die, you will naturally go down. But if you want to get out of hell again, it's not easy, and almost no one can do it.
Since the mission code name is called Operation Tongyu, it can be seen how dangerous the mission is.
There is also a layer of meaning, I hope that Li Renjie can be like Sun Monkey, get in and out, and successfully complete the task.
When Li Renjie arrived at Gargota, it was already two days later.
He walked alone through the old streets of Chinatown, looking at the few pedestrians on the street, and suspected that he was coming from a fake Chinatown.
Generally speaking, Chinatown is crowded with pedestrians and bustling.
It's so deserted that you can't see a few people, how can it be Chinatown.
However, the Chinese character signs hanging on the shops on the street prove that they are Chinatown.
Li Renjie is very interested in two shops, a gold shop and a restaurant.
Therefore, he was interested in the gold shop because he found that the signboard of the gold shop not only sold gold and silver hand ornaments, but also soy sauce.
I don't know if it's because there are few people in Chinatown, and it has reached the point where it is impossible to sell gold and silver handicrafts, so you can't sell soy sauce?
It is still rare and expensive, and soy sauce has crossed the sea to come here and is sold at a sky-high price.
He didn't go in to find out, so as to solve the confusion in his heart. Because, he saw the restaurant.
The boat he took to Gargota was the ship of Ah Sanguo, and there were only Ah San chefs and no Chinese cooks on board, and all the meals smelled of curry, which was really unaccustomed.
In the past two days, he has been hungry and full, and when he saw Huaguo Hotel, his index finger moved, and his saliva almost flowed out, so he still had the heart to go to the gold store and went straight to the hotel.
The name of the hotel is Nanjing Restaurant, but it does not look like a restaurant.
The door is old, and the door is the kind of wood and glass door in the seventies and eighties of Huaguo, and the paint is peeling.
There are several large photographs of a beautiful woman eating inside. The woman is very beautiful, but the photo has turned yellow and the content has become blurry.
There is also a line of words on each big photo, which reads: "In such and such a year, Bollywood superstar XX came to Nanjing Restaurant for dinner." ”
Li Renjie occasionally watches Bollywood movies, maybe the superstars above are old, and there are no new works in recent years, and he doesn't know them.
It's time to eat, and there is not a single guest in the restaurant of 100 square meters.
The boss was taking a nap with a fly swatter in one hand and his head in the other, but he didn't notice anyone coming in.
The boss was a young man, twenty-four or five years old. It looks very distinctive, with a pointed and hooked nose, and it doesn't look like a Chinese at first glance, but a mixed Chinese race.
Li Renjie coughed lightly, and the boss opened his eyes violently.
His eyes were small, round, and bright, and when he looked at people, they were like two knives, scraping around on people.
The boss got up from his chair and said, "Guests, sit, what do you want to eat?" ”
Li Renjie found a table and sat down, and said, "Roast the bean curd, return to the pot meat, two big bowls of rice!" ”
The boss went into the kitchen, jingled for a while, and brought out the food. Not two dishes, but three.
Li Renjie pointed to the braised pork and said with a smile: "I don't seem to have ordered this dish." ”
The boss said, "Count yourself lucky, today is my last day of business, and I just happened to have more ingredients, so I made it easily." ”
He turned around and took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, sat down at Li Renjie's table, handed over a bottle, and said, "This bottle of wine is also mine!" ”
Li Renjie saw that he was bold and polite, so he took the bottle and the two touched it.
The boss threw up his neck and said, "You are not a local, you must be traveling from abroad." ”
It was food and wine delivery, and Li Renjie was embarrassed to eat alone, and while beckoning the boss to eat together, he said, "How do you see it." ”
The boss said, "All the Chinese in the three countries are in Calgotta, and all the Chinese in Kolkota are in Chinatown." I know all the Chinese in Chinatown, but I don't know you. So, you're definitely visiting from abroad.
My name is Tie Ning, what do you call my brother. ”
Li Renjie said: "Li Renjie." ”
The two touched the bottle again, and after taking a sip each, Li Renjie said: "Listen to what you mean, you don't plan to run this restaurant?" Is it because business is bad? ”
Tie Ning said: "Yes, it's not!" ”
He paused and said, "Business in Chinatown is not good, and it's not a day or two. I heard my grandfather say that Chinatown used to be very prosperous, and business was so good that the money on the street could be flooded to the thighs, and he could make any money he wanted.
Business was not good after 1962. The Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan couldn't defeat Huaguo, so they poured their anger on the heads of the Chinese, killed them, and locked them up.
The Chinese had no choice but to flee in all directions. Some fled to Southeast Asian countries, some fled to overseas Chinese farms in China, and some fled to Europe and the United States.
Later, the three countries of Afghanistan no longer killed the Chinese, and some people returned home. However, not even one of the ten people returned, and Chinatown has been depressed ever since. ”
Li Renjie nodded, no wonder there is no one in Chinatown, it turns out that there is no one now, no one has been there since 1962.
Tie Ning continued: "Business? There is no business, and it is maintained in a state of hunger and hunger.
I didn't want to take over this business in the first place, and my brain was not sick, how could I be kidnapped to death by a broken shop.
I wanted to go out and break through, but the old man forced me to take over. He was not in good health, and I didn't want to make him angry, so I had to take over.
A few days ago, he finally took his last breath and left. ”
Li Renjie said: "I'm sorry! ”
Tie Ning shook his head and said, "It's me who wants to talk about it, and it's not that you want to arouse my sadness, what is there to be sorry for." ”
Li Renjie said: "So, you plan to close this store and go out?" ”
Tie Ning continued to shake his head, stretched out five fingers, and said, "I've been working in this shop for five years, and five years is enough time to kill any ambitions.
What's more, after staying in one place for a long time, you will get used to it, how can you talk about leaving lightly.
I'm going out because someone recently offered me a job, a job that pays well and is thrilling. It's a job I never dreamed of, so I can't be tempted. ”
