Chapter Twenty-Five: You Have Been Placed on the Suspicion List
United States.
Russell Castle, New York, Russell Family Ball. Trading floor, Vanity Fair.
Russell Castle was actually a hub for world intelligence. As long as you have enough money, you can buy any intel you want here. You can never tell what the person who is here does, and you can't know who you are facing and who you are working for. How many faces and how many identities a person has. What we are facing is just a person's face, and behind the face is his reality. In the shadows at the entrance of Russell Castle, Zhao Qingci looked at everyone who walked into Russell Castle, his calm mood became more and more anxious, he was waiting for a Chinese face to appear, this person will bring the latest instructions of the organization. Dusk in New York has come, and not a single Chinese face has appeared at the entrance of Russell Castle. Just when Zhao Qingci thought that an accident might have happened, a man with a Chinese face appeared. Zhao Celadon appeared at the gate of Russell Castle at the right time and with the right footsteps, and kept walking with a man with a Chinese face in parallel Ting Tingyu, Zhao Celadon walked delicately, and suddenly fell to the ground with a sigh, and the man with a Chinese face hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Zhao Celadon and said: Are you okay?
Zhao Celadon said: Thank you, this nasty high heels.
The man with a Chinese face asked Zhao Celadon : Are you Chinese?
Zhao Celadon said: No, American, how can you walk with a broken heel?
The man with the Chinese face said, "Then I have to help you in."
Zhao Celadon said: No, no, no. Zhao Celadon did not speak a word of Chinese. Zhao Qingci asked: Are you Chinese?
The man with the Chinese face said: Yes, I am Chinese.
Zhao Qingci picked up a book from the ground and said: What a coincidence, I am learning Chinese, can I ask you a question?
The man with the Chinese face said, "Of course." looked at the book in Zhao Qingcera's hand and said: Oh, you are studying "Han Poems"?
Zhao Qingci said: Yes, he turned a few pages of the book and said: Can you tell me the meaning of this poem?
The man with a Chinese face said while looking at it: "Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king", this, this, to be honest: I really can't answer, I am a science student, and I haven't read Tang and Song poems since I was a child, which disappointed you.
Zhao Celadon said meaningfully: I am really a little disappointed.
The man with the Chinese face said, "Don't you mind if I help you in?"
Zhao Qingci took off the high heels on his other foot and held them in his hand, and said mischievously to the man with a Chinese face: Don't you think this is balanced? Thank you anyway, though. After saying that, he entered Russell Castle as if he were dancing.
The Russell family's prom was a trading ground for American high society.
Young Master Russell is waiting for the appearance of a person, to be exact: waiting for the appearance of a Chinese girl, more precisely: the appearance of a Chinese girl from the United States, she is a Chinese of pure blood, but she is not Chinese, she is an American. But this girl seemed to be testing Young Master Russell's patience, and she didn't show up for a long time.
If you are not a person with a head and a face and a noble status, you can't enter this castle.
The Chinese man who appeared was named Ji Jianfeng and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Ji Jianfeng wore the whole world on his body, Italian suits, German shirts, American leather shoes, Irish ties, French belts, Swiss watches, and British sunglasses.
Peel, chairman of the board of directors of Times Nahua, this old thing is still a playboy at the age of seventy, wearing a gorgeous floral shirt, the little girl next to him is probably not eighteen years old, wearing high heels taller than Peel, plump and fat, full of desire, but the immature appearance looks like Peel's granddaughter, but not granddaughter, is his new wife. In the world's entertainment media, Chairman Peel's iconic photograph is surrounded by a group of open-chested girls in the center, like an ancient Chinese emperor with 3,000 caralets. Every time he makes a blockbuster, his wealth grows again, and then when the blockbuster is released, it is when he marries the heroine of the film as his wife. The bad movies he made always made money, there was nothing in the film except women, money, power and violence, as if it was a documentary documenting human evil, but this old thing is willful, that is, it can make money and earn women, and the entertainment empire he built can always express the wishes of the people in this world vividly. Peel's new wife is the heroine of the popular American blockbuster "Love" Alova, but in the real world, her name is not Alova, but Anna, born in Ukraine, her body looks very immature, but her face is full of years, she was adopted by Peel when she was still a child, then raped by Peel, then became popular, and then turned into a story, became a woman. Peele's story is the story of the American dream. Peel has two annoying things that have been tormenting him to insomnia recently, one is that he took 80% of the company's funds to invest in oil in Iraq, which caused the company's cash flow problems, and the fall of the Dow Jones index has affected the company's stock, if this problem is not solved, his entertainment empire may face bankruptcy, this is his life's work, he doesn't want to see this result before he dies, one is the filming of "Love 3", he wants to find a heroine with a Chinese face, he has extraordinary eyesight, He remembered seeing this face at Russell's house, but this face disappeared, which is related to the Chinese market of "Love 3", and he set a rule that all films must have a Chinese face, so that Chinese can see their own sense of existence in order to earn Chinese money. When he went to Russell's castle today, Peel asked for two things, one was to see if he could meet the Chinese face he remembered by chance, and the other was to ask Russell for clarification, because Russell had told him that his investment in Iraq was too risky and might be lost.
Martin is a Silicon Valley science maniac, always looking for partners at parties to sell his science fantasies to people, whether it's immigrating to Mars or listening to the world.
In this Vanity Fair, some celebrities look bejeweled, but in fact they don't have money, and they just come here to try their luck and find a buyer for their life or a stage. Japanese artist Matsushita Tape is such a girl, her body is full of fat powder and perfume, she can enter this place because she can bring a stunning Chinese antique every time, in fact, it is a work of art that can be called a cultural relic, and later someone knew her background, her grandfather was a general during the Japanese invasion of China, so her family has a lot of Chinese antiques that even China can't see. But as an artist, Matsushita tape took the path of Van Gogh, and no one could understand her works, and Panasonic tape said that her value was in a hundred years later, just because of her words, real businessmen did not dare to make this bet, no one knew the market after a hundred years, and besides, people are realistic. No one wants to think about what will happen a century from now.
Some people don't look amazing, but what he does will make the devil afraid, Eric belongs to such people, Eric's sculpture-like face is more like an elegant scholar, and his personable elegance is more like a university professor, but he is an executioner who is hunted down by the whole world. Eric is the founder of the Dark Corporation, and he has a devilish mercenary army at his disposal, which can be used all over the world except China, and he can help you do anything if you can pay enough money, including assassinating a king. The White House is Eric's biggest buyer, and all the dirty things that the White House can't put on the table are all Eric showing up to settle things. So people often wonder what kind of person Eric is. What kind of relationship is it with the White House? Or did what Eric did mean by the White House? Does it represent the White House? No one will answer you, only God knows. Because for the world in front of us, the truth you see with your eyes may be a nothingness, what you can't see is the existence of the truth, or in other words, there is no concept of truth and untruth in this world, but it is just a definition of our own moral standards and positions, one thing exists, that is, there is a back, there is a back, there is a conspiracy behind the back, there is a conspiracy in the conspiracy, and there is a conspiracy in the conspiracy. Eric, who has experience in the U.S. Marine Corps, CIA and FBI, is a killer in the war, but in the eyes of buyers he is an angel of justice, such as in the eyes of the White House. Even if the president of the United States or the secretary of defense meets Eric here, he will give him an affectionate hug. Eric is a weapon obsessive, and the Russell family's arsenal researches any new weapon, including those secret products.
Of course, the oil princes of Iraq, in addition to their beauties, are also obsessed with weapons.
Taiwanese businessman Qian Taipei, in addition to weapons and beautiful women, is also obsessed with politics, what party and what overseas fund head, always make some inappropriate remarks, is a typical "madman", it is said that this guy is not a purebred Chinese, his mother is a Japanese.
Solo is the CEO of Wall Street hedge funds, Solo's life is a life of heaven and hell, his time is half in heaven and half in hell, the reason why he says this is because Solo is a money maniac, he invented the skirt theory of the stock market, that is: the shorter the woman's skirt crosses, the bull market comes, and the longer the woman's skirt crosses, the bear market comes. Solo, who is known as a stock market predictor, is an idol for investors in the capital market. All Chinese who listened to Solo's investment philosophy and operated stocks did not make money, and all Chinese who operated stocks contrary to Solo's investment philosophy made money, because when Soro said it was up, it was down, and when Soro said it was down, it was up. But the media said that Solo is the world's stock god, and his prediction of the world stock market is right every time, in fact, every time he says it is right or wrong. No one knows that Solo is a black mouth on Wall Street, he just helps Wall Street to speak a voice, and everyone who understands knows that Solo is not a god but just a puppet. Solo's money really comes from investing in real estate in Southeast Asia. Solo is a rich man, but on Wall Street, where there are many rich people, Solo is just a poor man.
Mario, an Italian-American, also came, and in the eyes of fashion designers, Mario is the emperor, because Mario is a master of fashion design. The name Mario is synonymous with fashion, with your identity and status. So the name Mario is also equal to money. Whether it is fashion, shoes and socks, as big as a luxury product, as small as a pin, as long as there is the Mario logo on it, even a pile of dog shit can be turned into money, which is the so-called brand appeal. There is no way, the world is like this.
The French-American Windsor also came, this old woman should be more than a hundred years old, and she looked like she was going to live forever when she was young. She still looks so charming, as if she is the queen of this world. There is an alluring but elegant fragrance on her body. The fact that a woman like Windsor lives in the world is the despair of women in this world, and of course it is also the expectation.
Mario's clothes and Windsor's perfume are the fashion vane of this era, leading the consumption of this era.
The people in the castle hall came and went to greet each other, looking like they were seeing for the first time and reuniting after a long absence, in fact, it was only a month and a half between them, they were politicians from all over the world, politicians from the White House, brokers, artists from all over the world, revolutionaries from all over the world, thinkers from all over the world, businessmen from all over the world, Wall Street bankers, antique connoisseurs, here will gather the trend and direction of an era, and will also gather the fashion and popular ideas of an era, of course, no matter what they are, more conspirators, It is said that this castle hall was once the site of World War I and World War II. The Russell family's wealth came from war, and without war there would be no Russell family wealth. Russell Sr. started from running a dilapidated factory, then produced tanks, later produced airplanes and aircraft carriers, and then later produced nuclear weapons and participated in the American Mars program, the Russell family is not just a weapons production family, not just a banking family, not just an oil family, not just a hotel family, Russell's wealth empire is a symbol of the wealth of this world. They are the real controllers behind this world. Old Russell sat quietly in the corner of the castle hall, and the tall crystal cup on the tea box in front of him contained Chinese Moutai, which he did not drink, but liked the smell that permeated the glass. As if what happened in this hall and this world has nothing to do with him, under the transformation of the world's most advanced science and technology, Old Russell's face is still a child, but this face without wrinkles is still full of the vicissitudes of time, although human science and technology can clone a person, but for the time being, it cannot make a person immortal. But old Russell no longer seems to be interested in this glamorous world, whenever Windsor walks up to old Russell, old Russell says: It's really boring, I can't think of what the meaning of living in this world is? Alas, what a terrible thing it would be for mankind to achieve eternal life. I'm sitting here just to wait for you, to see you, otherwise, I'd rather sit in the dark and wait for death to come.
Windsor said to old Russell: I also came here to see you, and we have produced a new perfume, but it is only a perfume. In the past, I was thinking about how to make money into my own pocket, but now I am thinking about how to donate it. I think about a question every day, I often dream of coming to this world, I don't want to come, how tired it is to be a human being. Russell, Sr., what about you? I'm afraid you won't come again, your weapons have killed too many people, you can't come.
Old Russell said: It doesn't matter if you come or not, if you can't meet you, even if you come, what's the point? I'm going to build some temples in Nepal, and I made a promise that I hope to meet you if life is really reincarnated.
Windsor took old Russell's hand and said, "Go, I'll walk you around the garden."
At this time, Peel came over to old Russell and said, "You two old immortals are really romantic." Said to Windsor: Wait, I asked Russell Sr. one sentence, just one sentence, and said to Russell: Why do you say that my oil investment is risky? If I go bankrupt, you see, what will happen to my beauties?
Old Russell said to Peel: Young man, there is a high risk as high as the return, and you don't know that my money is earned from the dead of war, and there is nothing easy in the world. Who knew there would be no war in Iraq?
A girl appeared behind Russell Sr. and Windsor and said to Russell Sr.: Who said there was going to be war in Iraq?
Old Russell said to the girl: Celadon, war is not a matter of concern to girls, if you don't come again, I guess Russell will drink Romeo's poison. How do you hold a shoe?
The girl named Celadon said to old Russell: I am calling you grandpa? Or call you old Russell?
Old Russell said: Of course it's called Old Russell, how can a young person like me be called Old Grandpa? What do you say, Windsor.
Windsor said kindly: You are not old, you are not old enough to become a monster.
Peel said to Russell Sr.: Wait, wait, what's her name? Is it cyan porcelain or cyan China?
Old Russell said to Peel: It's none of your business, you old pervert, you don't care what Chinese celadon she is, she is my granddaughter-in-law Zhao celadon.
Peel said: What I'm looking for is her, it's her, the heroine of "Love 3".
Old Russell said: Lord, you are a ghost, don't think about beating her idea, Russell's family is not short of money.
Peel said: "The face of China, she represents the Chinese market, in my eyes, she is money.
Zhao Qingci deliberately pretended not to understand anything.
Old Russell introduced Zhao Qingci to Windsor and said: Zhao Qingci, my granddaughter-in-law, the daughter of astronaut scientist Zhao Xiazhi, the core figure of the Mars program.
Zhao Qingci said to Windsor: I know you, you are my idol.
Old Russell said: How about your idol? Windsor is an icon all over the world.
Peel interjected to Zhao Celadon and said: Are you Chinese?
Zhao Qingci said: No, not Chinese, I am American. Yang Yang said mischievously with the shoe in his hand: I can't always hold a shoe to talk to you, how rude.
Russell Sr. said: What the hell is going on?
Zhao Celadon said: It's okay, it's okay. Your grandson Russell said, "These shoes are the best brand in the world."
Russell then ran over and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Qingci pretended to be angry and said: Why did you come? Yang Yang said with the high heels in his hand: This is all your credit, I climbed in.
Russell shrugged and said: This brand should disappear from the world. The girl behind Russell handed over a new pair of shoes.
Zhao Qingci said: Can you do tricks?
Russell said, "I saw it all when you fell."
Zhao Qingci got angry again and said: Then you only appeared now?
Russell said: I found someone to deliver you shoes, so it was delayed.
Zhao Qingci laughed and said: In that case, I won't blame you.
Russell helped Zhao Celadon put on his shoes, led Zhao Celadon through the crowd, and introduced these so-called celebrities to Zhao Celadon, Zhao Celadon knew that Russell actually wanted to say to the proclamation: This is my girlfriend.
Russell ostentatiously said to Zhao Qingci: Don't look at these people who look like people, in fact, you don't know who they are at all. Peel, the chairman of the board of directors of Nahua in this era, seems to be entertaining, secretly a pimp, who sends his star women to the arms of politicians in the Pentagon and the White House, and then gets their investment, and the aircraft carrier can also make movies for him. Deals, everything is deals. Take what you need, this is how the world is, it always has been. Peel worked for the CIA as a young man, so his so-called entertainment empire background is complicated. The heroine of this "Passion", Alova, who has just passed, actually worked for Soviet intelligence. This Martin looks like a science maniac in Silicon Valley, but in fact his company has been sold to the FBI. The Japanese artist Matsushita Ribbon who greeted just now, her family has always done shameless things, what kind of artist do you think she is on the surface, but in fact, her real identity is a person from the Japanese intelligence department. And this Eric, this person's background is even more complicated, he is completely a mongrel who sees money, just like a woman with no integrity, he sleeps with whoever has money. What I hate the most is that Taiwanese businessman Qian Taipei in the past, who scolds this and that all day long, is an unscrupulous businessman, and this is not to blame, he should be from Taiwan's intelligence department. How can one not love one's country? This kind of person I despise the most, although I don't care about politics, but I despise this kind of person who betrays his country the most. By the way, this Solo is the CEO of Wall Street hedge funds, and he has been running to China all day long, but in fact, he is not an investor, and he is behind the CIA. Mario, the Italian-American who just passed, also worked for the FBI.
Zhao Celadon said: Is there a good person here in your family?
Russell said, "Yes, I am." There is also the Chinese who lifted you up from the ground, his name is Ji Jianfeng, what is his origin, I don't know very well, is a more complicated person, it is said to be the son of a general.
Zhao Qingci said to Russell: I have no interest in knowing these people. Didn't you say that what is happening in this world now and what will happen in the future can be known from here? I'm a little curious, tell me now, what's happening now, what's going to happen in the future?
Russell teased and said: Then let me tell you, first talk about your China.
Zhao Qingci said: Wait, wait, China is not mine, I am an American.
Russell said: Okay, okay, it's me who used the wrong words, let's talk about China first, do you know about the Manhattan bloodbath? And the espionage case of Chinese scientists?
Zhao Celadon said: Do you still need to say this? Newspapers and television report it every day.
Russell said: The next thing is the secret, all this happened because there were renegades in the organization over there, so it led to these bloody cases.
Zhao Qingci said: Then did this person come to the United States?
Russell said: "This is not certain, but one thing is certain, there must be something wrong with it.
Zhao Qingci said: Then you tell me what will happen in the future.
Russell said: In the future, the United States will contain China's development, and there will be continuous wars in the Middle East.
Zhao Qingci said: You are too general and too conceptual, politicians say so.
Russell said: I'm talking about a judgment of future trends, and people in our family have such natural abilities.
Zhao Qingci joked: It seems that you can go to run for president?
Russell said: Of course you can, but I'm not interested, I'm only interested in loving you. The person who greeted him just now was CIA Deputy Director Blake, known as the Devil of Murder. There is also the woman next to Blake, what is Orthea, she is the director of the CIA's Asian Affairs Bureau, and everything in Asia has something to do with her.
Zhao Qingci said with a smile: Your home is about to become the headquarters of the CIA.
Russell said: This is a vanity fair in search of prey and becoming a prey yourself.
Zhao Qingci said: It seems that you have become the prey, and another hunter has come to you.
As soon as Zhao Celadon finished speaking, a graceful woman came to Russell, looked at Zhao Celadon and said to Russell: Does the young master have a new rag doll?
Russell said, "Nastasia, don't talk nonsense, I'm serious this time."
This Nastasia said: Young Master Russell is serious every time. Don't you remember when we were serious? Nastasia looked at Zhao Qingci and said: Why does this Chinese girl seem to have seen it there? Why can't you remember?
Zhao Celadon also made a look of reminiscence and said: Have we met? I can't remember.
Nastasia said: Think slowly, it's hard to say that one day you will remember, life is for memories. Okay, I saw an acquaintance, I'll go over and say hello, and you can talk slowly. As he spoke, he twisted her waist and walked over.
After Nastasia passed, Russell said: Recently, the CIA and the FBI are arresting Chinese like crazy, I heard my father say: Your father and you are on their list of suspicions, you better be careful yourself. There are some things that you can't say clearly when they are linked to politics, so you better be careful.
Zhao Qingci said angrily: Am I not an American? The United States is just your America, isn't it our America?
Russell said: What's the use of you being angry with me?
Zhao Qingci said: My father is heartbroken for any of their broken plans, is there a country that treats its own citizens like this? I really regret coming to this country, and I don't want to be this changed American at all. You worked hard for them, but they never believed in you.
Russell shrugged and said: I'm not the president, what's the use of you complaining to me?
Zhao Celadon suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart, and the person who conveyed the instructions did not appear today, which always made Zhao Celadon feel ominous. Zhao Qingci said: I hate such boring social occasions, all wearing a false mask, I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first.
Russell said: You have to get used to this hypocrisy, and in the future you will become the master of the castle, and all this will be the same, always will be like this, and will not change.
Zhao Qingci said: Then you guard your castle, I have to go home.
