Chapter 704: Meeting
Happy Hour is a long-established whisky bar that is said to have existed since the Prohibition period in the twenties and thirties of the last century, and the interior design and the outfit of the service staff have all retained the characteristics of that era.

Coupled with the fact that it's located in one of the busiest locations in all of Miami, alcoholic beverages are outrageously expensive.
Even a small glass of the most modest Scotch whisky costs at least $60, and only the middle class earning more than $6,000 a month can come for an occasional drink.
Lu Li even saw several senior employees of his own company gathering in groups of three or five, drinking expensive alcoholic beverages while whispering about something, maybe it was work, or maybe it was just to relax.
He didn't bother the other party, but found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, ordered a casual drink and put it on the table, and then watched the flow of people coming in and out.
As the minutes passed, the moment the stopwatch hand crossed 7:30, a rapid mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded in my ears.
Lu Li hurriedly searched around, but found that he didn't know when, under the table where he was sitting, a mobile phone was taped onto it.
He didn't have time to think about it at all, he immediately took off his phone and pressed the answer button.
Moment!
A familiar female voice came out of the earpiece.
"Good evening, Mr. Lu, I'm glad you didn't miss your appointment. ”
"Who are you, why are you so mysterious?" Lu Li asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to do that either. Recently, however, the FBI has been a little more active in Miami, so you have to be careful. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, but I intend to give you some help. The woman explained in a low voice.
"Give me some help? you haven't even shown your face until now, how can I trust you?" Lu Li's gaze quickly swept over the crowd, trying to find out the guy who was calling him from the crowd.
Unfortunately, although there are many people with mobile phones in the bar, most of them are men, and the only two women left, one is black, the other is Hispanic, and there are no Asians at all.
"Please don't bother in vain, you can't see me from where you are. Also, if you really want to meet me, get up and leave the back door of the bar and get into a white Toyota. With that, the woman took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Listening to the busy sound coming from the mobile phone, Lu Li sighed helplessly, took out dozens of dollars in cash from his wallet and pressed it under the wine glass, and according to the other party's instructions, he got out of the back door on the side of the bar.
Through the temptation just now, he knew very well that the caller should be observing himself through a surveillance camera hidden somewhere, so he didn't play any tricks and honestly got on the white Toyota parked in the back street.
The driver sitting in the cab was a young white man in his early twenties, and he didn't even say a word of nonsense, but when he saw Lu Li sitting up, he immediately got into the car and circled around the complex road network in Miami at a very fast speed.
Just twenty minutes later, Lu Li was already dazed, completely unaware of his current location.
The young driver noticed, grinned, slowly slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a house that didn't even have a house number or street number.
"Sir, you have arrived at the station, please get off the train. ”
"Thank you, here's your tip. ”
For the purpose of probing, Lu Li casually threw a hundred dollars to the other party, and then pushed open the door and walked out.
"God, a hundred dollars, you're so generous! thank you!" said the young man in a happy salute, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared at the end of the road.
When Lu Li saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said to himself: "Okay, it seems that this driver doesn't know anything, just an ordinary person who takes money to work." ”
The words just fell!
The door to the house was pushed open, and it was none other than the Asian woman who had walked into the office a few hours earlier.
I saw that she was holding an open box in her hand, and ordered straightforwardly: "Take off your phone, watch, shoes, and belt and put them in!"
"Is it necessary to exaggerate it like this?" Lu Li complained as he began to take off his shoes as the other party instructed.
You must know that there are a lot of bits and pieces on his body, rings, gloves, bracelets, a mess, and in the blink of an eye, the box is stuffed to the brim, leaving only the adventurer crystal unremoved.
The woman seemed to be a little uneasy, and took the "electronic dog" boy who didn't know what brand she didn't know and carefully checked it twice, before she showed a smile and bent down to make a gesture of please.
"Please come in, I'm sorry, please don't mind too much, I'll explain to you the necessity of doing so later. ”
"Forget it, there's nothing to lose anyway. Lu Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently, stepped into the living room, and sat on a cheap plush sofa that did not exceed seventy dollars.
I have to say that although this house looks a little dilapidated on the outside, it is well maintained on the inside.
A variety of cheap furniture and appliances are scattered in the corners, giving people a sense of home.
What's more, there was a pot of lemon tea, his favorite drink, and several other sweets that he also liked and were only produced in China.
Judging from this detail alone, this woman knows everything about his preferences, and it makes people feel chills down their spines just thinking about it.
"I suppose you must have a myriad of questions in your mind, don't you?" the woman winked playfully as she locked the box and placed it on the shoe cabinet in the doorway.
Lu Li poured himself a cup of lemon tea, took a sip, and laughed at himself with a wry smile: "Shouldn't I ask? You must know that you have investigated even my most private dietary preferences clearly." ”
"But you don't seem to be nervous at all, at least most people are already scared and restless when they encounter this situation, but you are still in the mood to drink tea. The woman stepped over to the other side and sat down very gracefully.
"Maybe a few months ago, I would have been as nervous as most people, but now, you should understand that when people go through a lot of things, they naturally become calmer. As he spoke, Lu Li raised his cup of lemon tea and drank it all.
The woman's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she quickly nodded and sighed: "Okay, it seems that Director Gu is right, you are really not an ordinary businessman, and the business you do is not an ordinary business." ”
"Director Gu?" Lu Li immediately recalled the person in charge of trading in Venezuela when he heard this name, and his face showed an expression of sudden realization. "It turns out that you are a domestic ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the woman quickly warned, "If I were you, I wouldn't say that word." ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand why you're contacting me, and why are you so mysterious? Can't you just make a phone call?"
