Chapter 356: Drifting Away
This painting evokes the day he least wants to remember in his heart,
Although it has been eight years since that incident,
But when I think about it again, I still remember it vividly! He will never forget this incident for the rest of his life.
"It's a lot like Raccoon City, right? It was painted by a young boy and depicted a scene from the Civil War in Pannanstein six years ago,"
"I asked a lot of locals about it, but none of them were willing to talk about it,"
"When I saw this painting, I was convinced that there had been an outbreak of biochemical infection there as well, but alas... It's too late now......"
Claire shook her head and sighed helplessly.
She was heartbroken when she saw homeless and war-torn people in Pannanstan, and now she learned that there had been an outbreak of infection.
It was even more uncomfortable, she didn't want to see others suffer.
Leon stared at the painting and was not until Jason passed him and urged him to realize that there was something important to do.
"Leon, time is pressing, it's time to go."
And Claire was surprised when she saw Jason:
"Wait a minute, that guy is ......"
"That's right, it's him. Alright Claire, I've got some more things to do,"
"We'll talk about it later, and besides, don't get yourself into a lot of trouble."
Leon interrupted her and left in a hurry, after all, they were non-governmental organizations, and the officials really didn't like them sometimes......
And Claire's expression was a little not good-looking when she heard this, and when she saw the back of Leon leaving,
She couldn't help but call out again:
"Leon!"
Leon paused and looked back again in confusion, and after Claire hesitated:
"This dress...... Not for you. β
Leon took a deep look at Claire and walked away helplessly,
He could tell what he meant.
He felt that the two were drifting apart, and Claire was still the kind-hearted and brave girl she used to be.
But he is no longer the hot-blooded young man with a strong sense of justice......
Time is the most ruthless, it will change a lot of things that people care about,
It will change the original self......
Once upon a time, he was also angry at the government's concealment of the truth of the matter.
But not anymore, Lyon will feel that this is necessary to maintain the stability of the country, because there are some things that the people simply cannot accept.
"I understand now...... Angier. β
Leon muttered to himself as he walked.
At this time, he recalled a conversation with An Jie on the dam in South America.
Claire watched Leon leave and sighed,
She also felt that her old friend had changed a lot, and the two were no longer the same as before, and she felt very strange in the face of the unsmiling Leon.
The suit has become a barrier between the two, and he is already an official person.
Everything that is said and done represents the government.
"God, I hope the press secretary Spesser will come back from vacation soon......"
Claire sighed and left the White House,
Since you can't find the person you made an appointment, it's useless to continue here.
Anyway, these officials and staff know that she belongs to TerraSave, and they all don't want to deal with it, so it is better to leave here.
Walking out of the White House, Claire has nowhere to go,
The delegation of the Interim Government of Pannanstein will not leave Washington during this time,
So she can't leave at the moment.
I have to find a place to rest first, but I don't have much money in my pocket.
So you can't be like Anjie or Ada,
Travel must stay in a high-end hotel, there is a motel will be a good stay...... TerraSave is a non-governmental organization.
Although there is a salary, it is actually only slightly higher than the American working class.
Finally found a fairly good hotel to settle down and rest for a while,
After all, Gu came by plane last night, and she didn't sleep well all night, and the seats in economy class were cramped and narrow, but she was used to it.
As soon as you lie down in bed, it will come straight to five o'clock in the afternoon! You can imagine how tired it is......
βShitοΌ Have I slept for so long? β
"No wonder I wake up with a groggy brain."
Claire looked at her watch in surprise as she got up.
Hurriedly got up and took out the phone to call the delegation and asked if there was any need for help.
The answer was no.
Now it's her own free time, what do you like, Claire hung up the phone when she heard this, and decisively went out to find food,
Since she didn't need help, she had to fill her hungry stomach first.
Walking out of the hotel, Claire looked at the smell of food from the street stalls,
I can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, hunger is the best condiment in the world.
Just as she came to one of the roadside stalls,
Looking at the burgers being made by the vendors, the meatloaf is fried on the iron plate and the meat is fragrant, and the price is very affordable.
When she wanted to say something about buying one, a black SUV came to a stop behind her.
"You want to eat this? Don't have a better option? β
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into Claire's ears from behind,
When she heard this, she looked back sharply and saw that An Jie was sitting in the car looking at her with a smile on her face.
Seeing him, Claire subconsciously glanced around to see if there were any police,
In fact, she thought about it a lot, An Jie's wanted notice only remained in the CIA, and the police didn't know or have the qualifications to know about this kind of thing.
But if you really get the police to pay attention, it's actually in trouble.
Because he doesn't have a driver's license~
"Why are you here?! That's ......."
Claire walked quickly to the window and whispered with a nervous expression.
"Get in the car and take you to something good."
An Jie smiled indifferently.
There was a tone in the words that could not be refused, not that the food of the street vendors was not good, but that there was something to look for her.
Claire had no choice but to get into the car, open the passenger door, and sit in the car.
"This is Washington! Your identity ......"
"Alright, Claire, I'm not here to do something."
"You're hungry, aren't you? Take you to a nice restaurant where the black pepper steak is much better than other upscale restaurants. β
Anjie interrupted Claire's whispering in her ear and drove the car towards the suburbs.
He doesn't take the government seriously at all, and he just sneaked into the White House and came out without doing anything~ As long as he doesn't show up,
Basically it is unlikely that he will be found.
Even if you really find him, it's a big deal to kill him without leaving a piece of armor,
It's been like this all these years anyway.
Claire saw that he didn't care about his words,
I couldn't help but sigh and sat in the co-pilot without saying a word......
She is defenseless against this man,
So getting in the car is so decisive, after all, if he really wants to hurt himself, I'm afraid that even his brother, who is as strong as an ox, can't block the other party's punch......
After some time, the vehicle stopped in a restaurant parking lot,
The black pepper steak here has a very good reputation,
"Get off the bus, this restaurant has a good reputation, I tasted it, it's pretty good."
Anjie mentioned this again, which is enough to prove that the steak here tastes good.
Claire looked at the signboard, it was no different from an ordinary restaurant,
But he said it tasted good, and she was really curious to taste it, and now her stomach was rumbling with hunger......
