Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dust Settles
Half a month later, Scotland, a high-end residential community in Edinburgh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As usual, Serena woke up at five a.m. and went to the gym in the basement for an hour's workout, followed by a shower.
While she was making breakfast, she turned on the small TV in the kitchen and tuned into CNN's international news channel.
Fifteen minutes later, as she began to enjoy her sandwiches, fried eggs, grilled bacon and fresh milk, the television was reporting the latest developments in the investigation into the terrorist attack.
Because it was half a month later, the TV station replayed the picture at that time.
It can only be described in one word: miserable!
To use one word, it would be "miserable".
The entire base was blown up, the fire burned for a day and a night before it was extinguished, dozens of military planes were damaged, and countless facilities of all kinds were destroyed.
The direct economic loss is more than 10 billion dollars!
In addition, hundreds of soldiers were killed and missing, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were injured and burned in the explosion.
It's just that for forgetful Americans, this matter has become "history".
As early as 10 days ago, the United States federal authorities announced the preliminary findings of the attack on Henderson Air Force Base, which determined that it was a terrorist incident.
Now, thousands of American GIs are in Iraq dealing with terrorist groups that have claimed responsibility.
At seven o'clock, Serena went out.
It's just that she's not going to a company in the downtown area today, but Campbelltown in Kintyre Point.
The distance is more than 200 kilometers, but it is all mountain roads, and if you drive there, you will not be able to reach it until evening.
In addition, Serena drove not the BMW sedan that she used every day, but a van that could cram more than a dozen people.
This is the company's car, which is usually used for deliveries.
Of course, this small company, which was established only a few months ago, is owned by Serena and the delivery man is also Serena, and it usually has no business.
Two hours later, Serena's van drove up the Scottish Highlands.
It's late autumn, and the first snow fell more than ten days ago.
The scenery is beautiful, the beauty of desolation and sadness.
Serena was not in the mood to enjoy the view, her heart flew away early.
At this time, across the Atlantic, Manhattan, New York.
The sun had just risen, and last night's heavy snowfall had almost buried the entire city, turning Central Park into a world of ice and snow.
There are already a lot of visitors in the park, most of them are playful children.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, as well as those children playing in the snow, Luo Qing hopes that this is eternal, even if he has to lie in bed all the time.
"Beauty, it's time to get up."
Hearing the greeting, Luo Qing turned around.
Seeing Wang Dong standing at the door with a tray in his hand, Luo Qing stretched his waist and showed a happy smile.
"I really don't understand, what's so good about this hotel?" Wang Dong walked over and put the tray containing the breakfast in front of Luo Qing. "That's all, let's fill my belly."
"You're not romantic at all."
"Those who do our business, romantic ones don't live long." Wang Dong entered the bathroom, and the sound of a shower came from inside. "You get up quickly, we'll leave in fifteen minutes."
Luo Qing smiled, got up, and also entered the bathroom.
"What are you doing?
Don't make a fuss, we're catching a plane today.
Can you be serious?
We're still in the U.S., and the flight will take off in two hours.
Do you really want to do that?
……”
Forty-five minutes later, the two arrived at the hotel lobby to check out.
At this time, the reserved taxi is already waiting outside the hotel.
Because I missed the morning rush hour, it only took half an hour to get to JFK International Airport.
The two were the last two passengers to check in, and when they arrived at the gate, fifteen minutes before the flight departed.
After getting on the plane, Wang Dong sent a short message on his mobile phone, and then turned off his mobile phone under the reminder of the flight attendant.
Probably because the exercise when he left the hotel was too intense, after the flight took off, Wang Dong leaned back on the chair and fell asleep after a while.
I was stranded in the United States for half a month, and it was a last resort.
It's just that the two did not hide in Tibet, but went to New York openly.
Ten days ago, after the results of the preliminary investigation were released by the US federal authorities, Musharraf said goodbye to the two men and left the United States alone.
Wang Dong did not keep him, but contacted Serena, who sent a sum of money to Musharraf.
Musharraf did not leave, but returned to Pakistan to settle his family.
According to the agreement, Musharraf will go to Scotland to meet Wang Dong after settling his family in half a month at the earliest, and at the latest a month.
For the next ten days, the two of them didn't go anywhere and stayed in the hotel.
If the measures were not done well, I am afraid that even the great cause of creating human beings would have been accomplished.
After spending a few months alone with Luo Qing, Wang Dong's memory recovered a lot, knowing that Luo Qing was his partner, his first love, and the person he loved the most.
This kind of unforgettable feeling is by no means erased by short-term amnesia.
If there's one thing that's wrong, it's how to face Serena when she returns.
At least for more than a month, Wang Dong paid his true feelings, and he was by no means casually playing, and he was not the kind of person who moved his feelings casually.
If he could, Wang Dong would like to wander the world with Luo Qing.
It's just that now it's not just about Serena, but also about Zhao Yu and Musharraf, as well as Musharraf's subordinates, and even Nicholas who took refuge in Wang Dong.
Just like love, Wang Dong is not the kind of person who can abandon his brother in distress for love.
Fortunately, Luo Qing knows Wang Dong better than everyone else, and also understands and supports Wang Dong.
As for how Wang Dong handled the relationship with Serena, Luo Qing didn't ask much, nor did she mention it, she believed that Wang Dong would definitely be able to handle it.
The B777 takes eight hours to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to Edinburgh International Airport.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the text message.
In any case, the flight carried more than 300 passengers, and even if the US intelligence agencies found Wang Dong, they would not do anything on the flight.
Four hours later, Serena was on the beach outside Campbelltown.
After the fishing boat was on the sea antenna, and the two sampans were lowered, Serena got out of the car and threw the smoke flares she had brought with her onto the beach.
After a while, the sampan washed up on the beach.
No one else, Serena didn't know, only Zhao Yu was an exception.
Before going to Monaco, Wang Dong showed Serena a photo of Zhao Yu.
At that time, Wang Dong and Luo Qing just went to Monaco to find Zhao Yu and bring Zhao Yu back to Edinburgh, but they didn't expect to get into so many things.
"Zhao Yu?"
"Serena?"
Serena nodded and took out the token, which was the handkerchief embroidered with a dragon and phoenix that Wang Dong put in a photo frame as a collectible.
This handkerchief is unique, and Zhao Yu has seen it.
After confirming his identity, Zhao Yu didn't say much wordy, asked the accompanying operatives to dispose of the sampan, and then followed Serena out of the beach.
At this time, the sunset has already set over the sea antenna, the last rays of sunset are dissipating, and the night is coming.
