"Bruce Lee's movies, I've seen them, and his martial arts are really great." Kent replied in place of his girlfriend Nancy.

But he stared at Hou Yiying again and asked: "But this morning in CM.DN company, I met Miss Hou who was with Mr. Xiong, and I had a big doubt at that time, and I still can't figure it out." ”

"What are the doubts, why don't you tell me about it?"

Hou Yiying asked Kent rhetorically.

She understands that no matter what problems Kent raises, she can only deal with them calmly, not dodge them.

"With all due respect," Kent asked directly, "why doesn't the Miss Hou I see now have the slightest resemblance to the one I saw you in the Middle East?" ”

Regarding this kind of doubt issued by Kent, Xiong Jiandong had been worried before. At this time, he became even more nervous, realizing that Hou Yiying must be difficult to justify.

"No wonder you can't figure it out," Hou Yiying not only didn't show any fear, but grinned.

"Tell me the truth, Mr. Kent, I used a disguise technique!" Hou Yiying said calmly, "This disguise technique is to give people another face, which is actually a trick of metaphysics." ”

She took the trouble to further explain that in China, there are not only disguise techniques, but also sound change techniques and shrinkage techniques, which can be described as broad and profound, and the fantasy is endless.

Xiong Jiandong lost no time, and also took advantage of the situation to echo Hou Yiying, quoted scriptures, added oil and vinegar, and told the legend and story of Huaguo's Shenwu vividly.

The two of you sang and I followed, and I could only hear John's family at the table, and they were stunned and fascinated for a while.

Nancy walked up to Hou Yiying.

Neither of them had been drinking, clinking glasses with their drinks.

Nancy picked up Hou Yiying's right hand, held it and looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "It turns out that a woman's fingers can be powerful!" ”

"Huaguo really has a long history and a splendid culture!" Old John had already heard it almost fascinated, and praised it sincerely, "Unlike our country, which has only been around for a few hundred years. ”

"But the scientific and technological and economic progress of the United States is worthy of our Chinese people, and we must learn from it."

Xiong Jiandong said modestly. Now, he has the heart to divert from the topic just now.

"Yes, Mr. Xiong, I also have a question that I haven't figured out." Old John suddenly asked Xiong Jiandong.

"When you came to my house yesterday, you mentioned it here, and it was Kent who told you that I am now a retired bridge engineer. But Kent says he's never discussed it with you. ”

Xiong Jiandong was stunned for a moment, and then admitted, "I'm sorry, I did lie to Mr. Old John to my face yesterday!" ”

Old John and Kent, father and son, as well as their families, all stared at Xiong Jiandong in surprise, waiting for him to explain.

"I beg your pardon for not telling the truth yesterday because I don't want to cause a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. John immediately." Xiong Jiandong said with an uneasy tone.

"Because when Kent was in the Middle East, he repeatedly emphasized that the button camera entrusted to us was more important than his own life, and it must be sent to the father of John Kent Freese at 21 Beverly, San Francisco, USA. So yesterday, when we found this place, in order to make sure that nothing was wrong and there was no mistake, we checked with the neighbors before entering the door. One of them introduced that Mr. John Sr. was a retired bridge engineer. ”

"It turned out that Mr. Xiong didn't want his father, and after learning about the situation, he would mind that they had asked the neighbors about our family beforehand." Kent smiled at Old John and said, "Although this is not polite, it actually just proves the seriousness and kindness of Mr. Xiong and Miss Hou!" ”

Old John was also happy, saying that he understood Xiong Jiandong's explanation very much, and touched the wine glass with Xiong Jiandong several times in succession.

Only Hou Yiying knew in his heart that Xiong Jiandong was forced to do so, so he reluctantly made up another story in public.

Because she knew very well that the two were inseparable yesterday afternoon, and she didn't see Xiong Jiandong have any contact with any neighbor of Old John's family.

"Dear Kent, you have made very trustworthy Chinese friends. Daddy is so proud of you! ”

Old John first praised his son, and then said solemnly to Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying: "Now, I have a very important matter, I can rest assured, please ask you to complete it." ”

He took out half a piece of paper from his bosom and a lilac gemstone necklace and spread them on the table in front of him.

"These are two items that my clever California curly-eared cat brought back from nowhere two months ago when someone wrapped it around its neck." Old John said, "I beseech you, when you return to China, you will try to return it to its original owner." ”

Xiong Jiandong recognized at a glance the extinction of this piece of paper, as well as the gemstone necklace. His face was pale, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as a pinprick.

Hou Yiying took the piece of paper and quickly recognized the phone number written on it with dried bloodstains.

She exclaimed to Xiong Jiandong: "How can this one of these numbers be Hua Nianping's mobile phone!" ”

Although Hou Yiying instinctively used Mandarin for Xiong Jiandong, Old John's family already understood the reason for her shock.

"Miss Hou, what do you see?"

Old John asked anxiously.

Hou Yiying hurriedly replied in English, the mobile phone number on the piece of paper was a person she was very familiar with.

She explained sadly that this person's name is Hua Nianping, who was originally a senior official of Huaguo Huai listed Enyuan Group, and during his study at the central school in the capital, he did come to the United States two months ago to pick up a first love named Lin Si'er, after which Lin Si'er soon died of illness, and Hua Nianping also died of martyrdom.

Old John immediately woke up and said that this time was completely right, no wonder no one answered when he called this mobile phone number in the future.

"Mr. Xiong, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?"

Kent found Xiong Jiandong's face, which not only became bloodless at this time, but also his eyes were gloomy, as if there was an indescribable pain.

"Me?" Xiong Jiandong couldn't hide his sad expression, and said in a weak tone, "Maybe I've drunk too much." ”

"We have a vacant room in our house, just downstairs." Old John's wife said to Hou Yiying, "If you don't mind, let the two of you stay here tonight to rest." ”

Before Hou Yiying could answer, Old John immediately instructed Kent: "Hurry up and help Mr. Xiong to lie down in the room to rest as your mother said." ”

"Why bother you." Xiong Jiandong refused, "Let's go back to the hotel." ”

"Nope." Old John insisted to Xiong Jiandong, "You are not feeling well, and we will be very uneasy about it." ”

"Please stay," pleaded Kent, "and when Mr. Bear recovers a little, I will hand you a very useful little device to-morrow morning." ”
