A conversation between a man and a woman can be heard in the hallway.

"Merry Christmas, Miss Colini! I'll take over. How is Madame today? ”

"Hello, Brother Del! She's really not that good. In the middle of the night, I saw her naked and shuddered and took out another bottle of whiskey. Mr. Lu set off for Japan at night, and when he was leaving, he came here to check and saw that she was drunk and unconscious. ”

The woman's answer was not only cold-blooded, but also tinged with schadenfreude.

"Poor lady, who had to rely on alcohol to anesthetize his senses every day, might be able to withstand the physical pain. If this continues, it is expected that she will not survive next spring. ”

The man's tone, though not as vicious as the woman's, carries only a slight hint of sympathy.

"I see it that way, she really doesn't want to stay up for too long. However, this is actually the result that Mr. Lu wants. I'm sure that even if she handed over the damn USB drive right now, Mr. Lu wouldn't be going to take her to the hospital! ”

"Miss Colini shouldn't have said that, they were once a very good couple!"

"Del, you should understand. This woman has discovered too many secrets about Mr. Lu, which she should never have known. A few months ago, when she copied those scary secrets on a USB drive in the company, I was almost broken by Mr. Lu because of this terrible dereliction of duty. ”

"May God forgive Madame's recklessness!"

"Del, put away your compassion, she doesn't believe in God!"

"Colini, you say, if Madame really dies one day, will Miss Van Lizhi, who is famous for her pornography, live in Beverly Five and become our new hostess?"

"I'm afraid not. I could see that Mr. Lu seemed to have been deliberately avoiding Miss Fan's entanglement for a while. ”

"I don't like Miss Fan Lizhi very much, there are so many mysteries in her that it is elusive. Besides, everyone knows very well in their hearts that Miss Fan is not just dating Mr. Lu alone. I can't imagine that every North Hollywood actress in San Francisco is enjoying several men at the same time! ”

"Del, you're thinking too much. I can't talk to you anymore. Mr. Lu said that he would mostly stay in Japan to deal with some things during this time, and told me to go to the boarding school to pay off his daughter's fees for next year. ”

"Goodbye, Colini!"

"Goodbye, Brother Del!"

Lin Si'er knew that the woman who walked away, Colini, who worked as the secretary of Lu Zhichao's company, was a South American. And the one left behind is a black man, and he used to be Lu Zhichao's car driver.

During the months she was imprisoned in the basement, Corini and Del were under constant supervision on a daily basis.

With the sound of a key unlocking, Del walked in with his breakfast.

He had to be very careful not to trip over the empty bottles that were everywhere in the room.

At the beginning, Lin Si'er was dragged into the basement by Lu Zhichao because she was naked, and when she met Colini and Del delivering food or coming in to check, she could only shrink on the bed, or wrap her naked body in a blanket, and hide in the dark corner.

"Madame, please have breakfast! It's Christmas and I've got coffee and sandwiches for you. ”

Del put breakfast in front of Lin Si'er's bed and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, "This is a can of antara that can relieve pain, please be sure to put it away." I don't want to be scolded by Mr. Lu and Miss Colini when they find out. ”

"Thank you, Del. Can you give me a cigarette? Lin Si'er pleaded, her voice very weak.

"Of course, ma'am!" Del shoved a cigarette to Lin Si'er.

If Lu Zhichao and Colini weren't present, when Del was alone, his attitude towards her had always been gentle and polite.

"My daughter Yashi, how is she?" Lin Si'er asked.

"Madame, please rest assured, Miss Estée is fine at school. Colini and I visit her every few weeks. Del replied.

"Poor Yashi, I've only met her once since I returned to Sanlan City in the past few months!"

Thinking of her daughter, tears welled up in the corners of Lin Si'er's eyes.

Del clearly remembers that a few months ago, he received a call from Lu Zhichao from Paris that day, and was ordered to go to the airport to meet his wife who had returned to Sanliang City from the capital of Huaguo. As soon as Madame got off the plane, she couldn't wait to order him to drive the car to Esther's boarding school.

It was a very strict boarding school for girls.

They finally waited until recess for the principal to allow Lin Si'er to meet with her daughter for a few minutes.

I haven't seen Estee in almost two years.

Although the daughter has grown much taller, she is skinny. The sad Lin Si'er promised Yashi at that time that she would take her home for a reunion on the weekend. However, within two days, there was an accident where she went to Lu Zhichao's company office and ran into trouble there.

Later, Del was ordered to go to the boarding school to coax Yashi, saying that his mother had suddenly left Sanlan because of an urgent matter, and it was expected that he would not return to the United States in a short time.

Now, looking at the pained, dry eyes on the bed, and the bloodless, extremely weak, sharpened face, Del seemed to catch a ray of death. He couldn't bear to stay any longer, so he left silently, locking the door from the outside.

Del understood that he had to faithfully carry out his duties.

……

In the late 90s of the last century, Lu Zhichao founded his CM.DN company on a busy street next to San Francisco's City Park, mainly engaged in the development and promotion of information engineering. Since then, Del has served as Lu Zhichao's full-time driver, serving his master loyally.

In the 2000s, Lu Zhichao's CM.DN company began to develop into the financial field, becoming a well-known Chinese trust institution in San Francisco, and had an extensive business with Lehman Brothers Investment Bank.

But in recent years, since Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, Ddell discovered that the company he worked for began to change its tentacles and gradually shroud itself in mystery. And his master, Lu Zhichao, is also becoming more and more elusive, often alone, and his whereabouts are erratic.

After more than 10 years of membership, Lu Zhichao not only runs the business, but also serves as the vice chairman of the board of directors of the Asian American Club of San Francisco.

The chairman of the club is Ms. Pan Xiuzhu, who immigrated to the United States in the early 80s of the last century.

Since it is called the Asian American Club of San Francisco, as the name suggests, in addition to Chinese members, it also includes other Americans of Asian descent such as Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino. This has a different nature and influence from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown.

The reason why Lu Zhichao was able to meet San Francisco North Hollywood actress Fan Lizhi and live together for several years was because of a dinner party in the Asian American club.

He had always thought that his intense, rich and flavorful hormonal breath was his strongest, best, and most proud killer weapon against women.

The theme of the dinner was Pan Xiuzhu's introduction to Fan Lizhi's meeting with the club's directors. To everyone's curiosity, Fan Lizhi actually spoke fluent Chinese.
