Volume 2 Exotic Rise Section 14 Central Park

Under the double weight of her heart, the woman finally gave in and handed over the password to unlock the tablet.

Danny found all the information on the Hand Synthetic Pins business on the hard drive, including their customers, managers, and shipping routes. No wonder Mrs. Gao would arrange the studio in the RAND Group, with such a large amount of information, she really needs the company to run all this.

However, what Liu Zheng couldn't figure out was that the Hand Club had been hidden on the 13th floor for so long and had not been discovered, so this book (shēn) was unreasonable. If it weren't for Joey's rampage, I'm afraid it would have taken Ward a long time to find useful clues, and by then, maybe he would have been transferred long ago.

In fact, the vigilance (xìng) of the Hand Club is indeed very strong, and the day after the accident on the 13th floor, Liu Zhengdanny and Luo Zhijian followed the information provided in the tablet and found the drug factory in Brooklyn. However, when they sneaked in, they found that the building was already empty.

The bandits who were caught, although they were loyal members of the Hand Clan, did not know how many qíng were in the guild, and the woman quickly disappeared after giving all the information she knew.

The Hand disappeared into darkness once more, and the only clue was broken.

However, there are also a lot of receipts, at least the chronic diseases within the RAND Group have been cleaned up. Over the next few days, Ward and Danny focused all their work on vetting the shēn (shēn) of the company's employees, and Joey came to see them a few times.

This made Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian finally breathe a sigh of relief, they had experienced several high-intensity battles immediately after coming to New York, and they were tired enough, and now they can finally take a rest.

Danny settled them in his apartment on the Upper West Side, where people generally have very high incomes, so there are many high-rise buildings and apartments with all the facilities, but there is little natural scenery to see, which is inevitably depressing for the two from China. In the Middle East, near Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street, when they look out of the windows of their rooftop offices, they can see a vast green space: the beautiful New York Central Park.

This "back garden" of New York, Central Park, was built in 1873, covering an area, is the first park in New York to be completely based on the design criteria of landscape architecture, and is also the first man-made landscape park in the United States, it is a rectangular green space about 4 kilometers long and 800 meters wide. Surrounded by skyscrapers, this huge urban green space is home to dense woods, lakes, fountains, lawns, farms and pastures, and even sports grounds, playgrounds, zoos, castles, theatres, and music squares. With 93 kilometers of walking trails, 9,000 benches and 6,000 trees, everyone can enter the park for free, and enjoy a wide range of leisure, exercise and recreation facilities.

In the history of more than 100 years, New York's Central Park has profoundly influenced the relationship between people, classes, and the city in the city, and even influenced the character of New Yorkers, helping New York City grow into the world's top city. Today, the park has become an indispensable oasis and spiritual sanctuary in New Yorkers' lives.

Manhattan's most famous Fifth Avenue, which separates Central Park from the lavish Upper East Side. On one side of the road is a towering building, and on the other side is a central park (chūn). Half natural, half earthly; Half scenery, half bustling.

People who live here may be accustomed to this very different difference, but people who visit New York City see the existence of Central Park as a miracle, and they can't imagine that there can be such a huge park on such a small island with every inch of land.

But to New Yorkers, this is not a contradiction at all. More than 100 years ago, the land where Central Park is located was just a wasteland and a few impoverished villages, and it is precisely because of the emergence of such a large green space that the value of this land has been boosted, and now Central Park is surrounded by mansions worth hundreds of millions of dollars, attracting top rich people from all over the world. No official would be so obsessed with the idea of using the park's land for commercial development, and the idea would be immediately scolded by millions of people.

Finally, on a sunny day, Liu Zheng and the others had nothing to do and decided to go there for a visit.

From the RAND Group, they headed north along Fifth Avenue to the southwest corner of Central Park, home to a zoo. Originally an arsenal, it was kept as an office building for the park after the war, and later the management of the area placed some of the animals donated to the city government by celebrities around the arsenal, thus giving birth to the first zoo in the United States. Luo Zhijian is a native of Yunnan, and he knows all kinds of animals and plants well because of his living environment, and he is also full of interest when he visits the zoo, while Liu Zheng doesn't care where he goes.

The two walked through the zoo and Billy Johnson's playground to the sheep prairie.

The Sheep Grassland is a lush green meadow with a great skyline view, where visitors of all stripes stop to enjoy the perfect (rì) sunbathing, picnic, or just relaxing. For decades from 1864 to 1934, the land was indeed used for sheep grazing, and the shepherd's residence has now been converted into the famous tavern restaurant. The two found a restaurant nearby to have a full meal, and then took a nap on the lawn.

In the afternoon they continued along the West Ring Road and arrived at a place called "Strawberry Farm". Lo studied tourist English in college, and has dabbled in classic places in Europe and the United States, and knows that this small square was built specifically for John Lennon, the lead singer of the "Beatles". After Lennon's death in 1980, his widow, Yoko Ono, paid for the teardrop-shaped area in front of her residence (and where Lennon was killed) in front of the Dakota apartment building, where Lennon was killed, and named him "Strawberry Fields." Every year on December 8 (rì) (Lennon's murder (rì)), Beatles fans from all over the world gather here to commemorate him and look at the Dakota Residence, and usually fans will light a candle and place a bouquet of flowers on the mosaic to pay their respects to him.

Today's weather is really good, the sun is dappled on the ground through the green leaves, shining warmly on the (shēn), the people who come out for the outing are dressed very coolly, Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian are sitting on the benches next to the square, their eyes sneaking at the young girls passing by, it is really pleasant.

Liu Zheng pointed to the big lake in front of him and the castle looming in the forest on the opposite bank, and asked casually, "Go over there and have a look?" ”

"Ah~~~ I don't want to go! It's boring. Luo Zhijian yawned again, he had just woken up.

Liu Zheng spread out the map in his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Shouldn't it, Comrade Worm, you can't bear it if we haven't walked halfway through?" ”

"No, no, no~~ What is there to shop for two big men." Luo Zhijian was lazy, "It's better to just look at the beauties here." ”

When it came to beauties, Liu Zheng remembered one thing, so he snickered and asked, "Human worm, did you notice that Miss Joy seems to be interesting to you?" ”

"Pull the down! People are high-ranking company executives, multimillionaires, I'm a poor student, what does she like about me? ”

"Really! I'm telling you, I don't lie to you. Don't you notice the way she looks at you? That's a! You heroically saved the beauty that day and successfully captured the hearts of the beauties! ”

Luo Zhijian snorted: "Okay, big brother, I'm afraid of you, okay?" If you want Iron Fist to know that we are sisters in this YY family, then you have to be angry. ”

The two chatted for a while, and when they got to the battle and hand-meeting on the 13th floor of the RAND Group, Liu Zheng's originally cheerful heart (qíng) plummeted. He originally thought that if he didn't mention it, he would always forget about it, but the fact is that it is like a wooden thorn in (ròu), which he can't feel when he doesn't move, and as long as he moves, it hurts his heart...

"Hey, let me ask you a question..."He touched Luo Zhijian on the side, "What would you do if you had a very close family member who turned out to be a fugitive who committed a heinous crime?" ”

"Who is this man, you?"

Luo Zhijian asked casually, almost scared Liu Zheng out of a heart attack, and quickly denied it: "I have long been alone, and you don't know." You don't care who it is, just talk about what you think in your heart. ”

"What do I think?" Luo Zhijian leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then said, "It depends on how important this person is to me..."

"What if you are the closest and dearest person, but you do the worst and worst thing?"

"It's my dearest person, so I'm sure I'll protect him! I don't care what others think, anyway, whoever dares to touch him, I will destroy them. ”

Liu Zheng gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being a beast like you." ”

"I think this little brother said it very well."

A beautiful female voice came from not far away, and the two looked for prestige, and at some point there was a white lady sitting on the bench next to her, dressed in gorgeous clothes. During this period, the two of them had been communicating in Chinese, thinking that no one could understand, but they did not expect that the woman could also speak such fluent Chinese.

"Morality is nothing more than a social rule that human beings learn, and selfishness is an innate heaven (xìng), and if everyone sacrifices themselves for public service, those apes who first developed wisdom will starve to death without having a chance to evolve. The so-called loyal ministers and good generals in history tried in vain to be a car in front of fate, and could even sacrifice their families and relatives without hesitation, these people are the most terrifying. It's rare that you can see through the biggest lie in the world at a young age and go straight to your heart. ”

The woman should not be young, but she is very well maintained, so she looks like she is only about 40 years old, and she is dressed very fashionably, and any jewelry on (shēn) is expensive. Her gray eyes were like two bottomless wells, shining with a light that seemed to be able to see through the world.

Luo Zhijian didn't expect his answer to be praised by a stranger, and smiled a little embarrassedly. Liu Zheng stood up and bowed slightly to the woman to show respect, and praised: "Hello lady, I didn't expect your Mandarin to be so standard." ”

The woman smiled and returned the salute: "I like Chinese culture very much, and I have been learning to speak Chinese for more than ten years. Are the two little brothers visiting New York? ”

"That's right, we are indeed here to travel, my name is Luoyang, this is my friend, Luo Zhijian. Are you...? ”

The woman pointed to the south and said, "Oh, I live in New York, and the company is not too far from here. ”

He's still an entrepreneur. Liu Zheng and the others exchanged a few words with the woman, and then decided to leave, they are not too good at dealing with strangers, not to mention that Liu Zheng does not agree with the truth in the woman's mouth, but he can't refute it directly, worried that the more he talks, the less speculative he is, it is better to simply go away.

Seeing that the two were in a hurry to leave, the woman just smiled slightly, and did not say anything.

Not long after Liu Zheng and the others left, a person came to the Strawberry Farm Square, she walked over with a cane and a slight stagger, and slowly sat down next to the woman's (shēn).

Mrs. Gao put her cane in front of her (shēn) and whispered to the woman, "You have always liked it here. ”

The woman seemed to know that she was coming, and did not say anything, but grabbed the dried corn kernels from the paper bag in her hand and scattered them on the stone pavement of the square.

"It's a miracle that I haven't come back for more than ten years, this park is still there, hehe, I always thought that New Yorkers would tear it down and build a high-rise building. It must be hard for these people to imagine that the entire island of Manhattan was once a whole forest, and when the Dutch colonists bought the entire island from the Indians, Gao, guess how much it cost? - $24. But if I want to say, it's still too much. ”

Mrs. Gao smiled, did not answer, but said something that sounded inexplicable to others: "The people in the mayor's office said that everything is ready. ”

"When will it all be done?"

"About three months, and then you can get to the final stage."

"Alright then, dig up, we're running out of time." The woman looked at the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist, stuffed the paper bag in her hand into Mrs. Gao's hand, stood up (shēn) and said, "The concert is about to start, I should go." Can you feed me this bag of bird food? They've been hungry for too long. ”

After saying this, she turned (shēn) away, and her long skirt was raised, and the pigeons, which were burying their heads on the ground, were disturbed, and all spread their wings and flew into the sky.
