Chapter 63: Joseph
“boss? Why do you have time to call me, don't accompany your singer girlfriend? Hee-hee! Dinah on the other end of the phone said lazily, sounding like she had just gotten up.
"Dinah, as a reporter for the New York Times, do you know of any research institutes in the United States that have special functions?" Xu Mo asked solemnly.
"How is it possible that the research institute of the American political axe is really open to us journalists! What's more, there shouldn't be such an institution, boss, you shouldn't have watched too many American superhero blockbusters! Dinah asked, surprised, "Did you find anything?" ”
"It's nothing, let's talk about it when I go to the United States! However, from today onwards, you should be especially careful not to show unusual behavior in ordinary life! Xu Mo cautiously reminded.
"I see!" Dinah was taken aback and hurriedly agreed, "Wait, boss, you just said that you are coming to the United States!" ”
"Yes! I've run into some trouble, and I want to go to the United States to avoid it, and I'll talk about the specific situation when I get there! Xu Mo said a little embarrassed.
"Hee-hee, boss, when are you going to come over!" Dinah asked happily, "Is your singer willing to let you come?" ”
"Tomorrow when that thing is over, I'll leave for the United States!" Xu Mo reminded covertly on the phone.
"Okay!" Dinah nodded, she understood what Xu Mo meant. The two of them made an appointment in three days later, advanced space for a special leisure world. Because the timing of entry and exit from the special leisure world is the same, it does not affect the timing of the real world.
Seeing Xu Mo close the phone, Yosuke said beside him: "Xiu Zejun, my father wants to meet you!" ”
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Mo took one last look at the direction of the apartment, and then followed Yosuke to hide in the main store.
……
"Xiu Zejun, please drink tea!" Tanaka saw that he was sitting in front of Xu Mo and said respectfully, "Please forgive me for the matter of Nae!" ”
"President Tanaka is polite, I can't blame the president for this matter, those two people can't even deal with me, you are already very helpful!" Xu Mo replied with a smile, "There is one more thing, Xiu wants to ask the president for help!" ”
"Xiu Zejun, please say, as long as I can help, I will do my best!" Tanaka said politely.
"The president also saw that these two people were a little trouble I encountered in Huaguo, and now they have made a big fuss like this, I am afraid that there will be political axe personnel coming to the door. However, I don't want to deal with the political axe people, I have some friends in the United States, and I want to ask the president to send me to the United States in the next few days, avoiding the political axe agency for a while! Xu Mo said slowly.
"Do you have friends in the U.S.?" Tanaka didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes flashed, and he immediately said with a smile, "The club happens to have an ocean-going fishing ship docked in Tokyo Bay, I can ask them to send you to Los Angeles, California, and then help you go through the formalities for leaving the country, what do you think?" ”
"Thank you, President!" Xu Mo saw that Tanaka seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and asked, "The president is in the United States, is there anything that needs my help?" ”
Hearing Xu Mo's words, a smile flashed on Tanaka's face, this Kobayashi Xiu is indeed very smart, he hasn't even thought about how to speak, he has already seen it, "Actually, this is the case, the society has some goods in Los Angeles that have been seized by the United States Customs......"
"President, I don't have official connections in the United States, even if I can sneak into the customs terminal, I can't bring a container by myself!" Xu Mo said with a smile.
"No, no, Xiu Zejun misunderstood what I meant!" Tanaka smiled and waved his hand, and said softly, "Since this container has been seized by U.S. Customs, then we don't plan to come back, I want to ask Xiu Zejun for another thing......"
"No problem, the next thing will trouble the president, it's best to be able to go to sea around the day after tomorrow!" After listening to Tanaka's words, Xu Mo thought about it, and felt that it would not have a great impact on his short stay in the United States, so he agreed.
"Time is a little tight, but it shouldn't be a big problem, I'll let them end their vacation early and prepare to go to sea." Tanaka agreed with a smile on his face.
"Xiu Zejun, Xiu Zejun, those two ...... ...... said, "Yosuke hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Taoist!" Xu Mo smiled and added.
"Yes, Taoist priests, they were taken away by the police, their spells are really exciting!" Yosuke said excitedly.
"Yosuke, why don't you knock when you come in! Let Xiu Zejun see the joke. Tanaka made a blank face and rebuked his youngest son.
Xu Mo looked at the two fathers and sons in front of him with a smile on his face, but his mind was no longer here. It is not an accident that the Black Lotus master and apprentice were taken away by the police, if it was in Huaguo, then it would be easy for these two masters and apprentices to finish the matter and pat their butts and hide back in Maoshan.
But this is the book, the two Chinese people are not familiar with the place, where can they run, unless they jump into the sea, they will definitely be controlled by the state organs of the book. However, there are only two possibilities for the farce to end so quickly, one is that there are masters on this side, and the other is that Hua Guo secretly helped their people show up.
Since they were secretly helping the Black Lotus Master and apprentice, instead of dealing with Xu Mo through the official book, it meant that they didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But now that the Black Lotus Master and Apprentice are making such a big disturbance in the center of the capital, if they don't want the Black Lotus Master and Apprentice to die in Yueben, then they must come forward to settle the matter before it expands.
However, after such a fuss from the Black Lotus master and apprentice, Xu Mo couldn't stay in the book, at least until the situation cooled down, he couldn't stay. It is said that the police are still concentrating on dealing with the two masters and apprentices, and in a few days, they will be sent back to China, so it is time to concentrate on finding him.
At that time, I'm afraid that Tanaka Group may not be able to keep him, so Tanaka Old Fox will agree to send him abroad, so that Tanaka Group will have less trouble, and by the way, he can also ask Xu Mo to help him do something.
After coming out of the store, Xu Mo looked at Nae's number in his phone, sighed, and broke off his mobile phone, and in his pocket was another contact number given to him by Tanaka. I'm afraid I won't see Nae for a long time in the future, although this singer is sincere to him, but things are always unsatisfactory, and he is destined to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, especially after he learns that the world is not as simple as he thinks.
On the afternoon of the next day, Xu Mo entered the space through a soul imprint in an abandoned warehouse near Tokyo Bay......
……
"Mom, look, I brought your favorite blueberries!" The blonde youth said with a smile.
"Jonathan, are you back, I'll cook for you later!" The old woman said with a frown.
"No, Mom, I'm your son, and my father has been dead for more than ten years!" The blonde youth patiently explained, "It's been a long time since you had to cook!" ”
"Oh, you're ...... My son Joseph! Well, Joseph, why did you come home so late and not allow you to bully the other kids at school! The old woman patted the handle of the wheelchair vigorously and said angrily.
"Mom, it's been five years since I graduated from college! Well, well, I swear, I didn't bully other kids today! Joseph raised one palm to make an oath and said helplessly.
"Jonathan, where's my car keys, I remember they were still here!" The old woman said with a frown.
"Mom, you haven't driven in ten years!" Joseph said softly, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
"Really!" The old woman fell silent, then looked up at Joseph in surprise, "I remember, you are my son Joseph!" ”
"Mr. Joseph, have you come to see your mother again?" An obese nurse asked with a smile.
"yes!" Joseph said with a smile.
"Push her out for a walk, your mother's condition is starting to get worse, and maybe soon she won't be able to think of you anymore!" The nurse said softly.
"Thank you!" Joseph's eyes flashed, and he thanked him.
Pushing her mother's wheelchair to the garden of the nursing home, the warm sunlight shone on the old woman's face, and the old woman involuntarily squinted her eyes. Joseph turned around, crouched down and shielded his body from the sunlight shining on his mother's face, looking at his mother tenderly.
The old woman quietly enjoyed the fresh air and warm sunshine in the garden, and from time to time Joseph wiped the saliva from the corner of his elderly mother's mouth with a paper towel in his hand.
As the day slowly turned west, the fat nurse came to the mother and son again, and said, "Mr. Joseph, the time for today's visit is coming, let me come." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you!" Joseph replied as he said to the old woman, "Mother, I have something to do in the next few days, and I may come back to see you in a few days, and I promise that I will find a cure for you." ”
The nurse pushed her mother's wheelchair and slowly left, and the tenderness in Joseph's eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, and then turned around to leave.
"Joseph, remember to go home early!" The old woman in the wheelchair suddenly turned around and whispered softly, just as she used to tell her little son when she was not sick.
"I see!" Joseph turned around again, a glittering reflection in his eyes, and replied with a reluctant smile.
Watching his mother's wheelchair disappear into the sanatorium, Joseph took a deep breath and muttered to himself for a while, before finally turning to leave again, the solemn expression on his face replaced by fortitude.
"Mom, I will do whatever it takes to restore you to health, even if it is at the cost of my life!"
