Chapter Thirty-Four: Flight to Moscow
Chapter XXXIV
"Twenty servings? Mr. Long, you are so humorous! The middle-aged man smiled, and he thought I was joking.
I looked at him helplessly: "What I said is true, it would be better if I could have a little more." ”
"This ....." the middle-aged man looked at Alice with some uncertainty, seeking her meaning.
"Mr. Long is a guest." Alice said with a smile on her face.
"Got it, Miss." The middle-aged man bowed slightly, and I took the red wine on the table and toasted it.
"This is an 82-year-old French red wine, my private collection, how does it feel?"
I glanced at Alice and smiled helplessly: "I don't know how to drink too much, especially red wine, in fact, I basically don't drink." ”
"Mr. Long is really hardworking, he must have spent all his time on practice!" Alice was a little surprised to hear that I didn't understand red wine, so she smiled and said.
"In fact, I rarely practice." I spread my hands.
"Oh? What a strange person Mr. Long is! Alice shook her head helplessly.
The conversation is unsustainable here, and it is really difficult for me to find a topic in the face of a stranger, especially a foreigner, who is thinking about the time, when will his lunch come up?
Alice was a lot more talkative than I was, and could always find different topics, so the waiting process was not too boring, and the time was not too long, the door was opened, and a dozen waiters walked in with plates, put the food on the table and left.
I really don't have to be polite when I'm hungry, and I eat it to my heart's content.
Alice was stunned as she watched me finish the food on the table by myself, her mouth slightly wide open, I guess she didn't think I was serious at first!
I leaned back on the chair hill contentedly and looked at Alice, who was a little cute: "Miss Alice, I'm full, thank you for your hospitality, so there's something you can say." ”
"Oh!" Alice came back to her senses, and felt that it was a bit rude to look at me like this, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, but I didn't care about it at all, after all, my food was enough to make people feel stunned, and sometimes even I had a hard time understanding what was going on, after all, how could my stomach hold so many things?
Alice's face changed slightly when she heard me talk about this topic, and although she controlled it well, I could still see the faint sadness on her face.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then turned her gaze to me, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Long, I want to ask you to save my father." ”
"Your father? What happened to him? ”
"He's sick and dying, I love my father very much, I suspect that someone is deliberately trying to harm my father, and I really can't think of asking you for help."
"Who killed your father?" I asked in surprise, in fact, I would have liked to ask Alice's father who he was to control such a huge underground empire, but I felt rude, and I didn't want to know too much, so as not to get into trouble.
"My father is now lying at home, and I haven't found out who killed my father yet." Alice said.
I nodded and didn't ask any more.
Alice continued: "My father is still at home, and I know that Mr. Long is a Chinese metaphysical scholar, and he is a person of real talent, so I want Mr. Long to go and see my father's condition. ”
I nodded slowly, stared into Alice's eyes and said, "I just want to ask one question, how did Miss Alice find me, don't say it's a coincidence, the last time we met, we were in Kunshi, this time I can be found by you when I go to S City, I want to hear a reasonable explanation." ”
Alice was not surprised at all that I would ask like this, and said with a helpless smile: "I'm really sorry Mr. Long, I can't hide it Since the last time you were wonderful in the underground gladiatorial arena, I let people start to check your identity, this is something that our forces must do, so since then, Mr. Long's whereabouts are basically in our sight, my matter is really a bit abrupt, please bear with me." ”
Alice didn't make any excuses, I frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, if she hadn't helped me at the beginning, I was thinking of a favor, and I would have turned my face at this moment.
"I hope you don't do it in the future." I said lightly.
Perhaps hearing the coldness in my tone, Alice's face changed slightly, and she nodded silently.
"Mr. Long, don't worry, never again." She said.
"I can help see your father, but I can't promise that I will cure him, because I'm really not sure, so I can only say that I will do my best, even if it is to return the favor to you!" I said.
Alice was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "When are we leaving?" ”
"Where to go? Isn't your father in China? I asked, surprised.
"Father in Russia." Alice said with some concern, as if she was afraid that I would regret it, and hurriedly added: "Father's current body is not suitable for moving, otherwise I will definitely bring him to China." ”
"Russia? It's a little too far away, can I go? "I have a big question mark in my heart, the key is that the background of such a person is definitely not simple, and I really don't want to get involved in it.
"Mr. Long, I beg you, I am such a relative as my father, and I don't want to lose him." Alice's tone was thick with pleading.
"Alas! Well, I'll take a look at it after I explain what happened here! "No, no, Alice's words touched me.
"Thank you!" A smile finally appeared on Alice's face: "I won't let Mr. Long run for nothing." ”
After returning to the small courtyard, it was already more than two o'clock, and everyone was sitting in the courtyard chatting or fighting the landlord, because there were many people, everyone naturally would not be bored.
Lin Xiaoye brought me a chair, and I sat in the courtyard, thinking about my next plans.
"Captain, tell me quickly, is that foreign girl energetic?" Peng Dahai stopped playing and surrounded him, and everyone simply ran over when they heard that they had a common topic.
I rolled my eyes helplessly, and then I told the whole story again.
"Captain, did you promise him?" Liang Zi looked at me in disbelief.
"Yes!" I nodded, and went over the underground cage.
"I don't like to owe people a favor, it's too early." I said.
"But the background of this Alice family is certainly not simple, I suspect it is the Russian mafia." Peng Dahai said.
"I know, I'm just here to save people, not to cause trouble." I said.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple! Xiaolong, you're a little too impulsive. Senior brother said.
"Don't worry, senior brother, with my current strength, there won't be any danger, anyway, now Daozang doesn't have anything to do with us, it doesn't hurt to go, and the rest will be left to you."
"Well, be careful, don't meddle if you can't do anything." The senior brother explained.
Two days later, Alice came to pick me up in person, and we boarded the plane to Russia. (To be continued.) )
