scorching sunshine;

verdant green large-leaved palm trees;

The waves that always give off a pleasant 'rustle...";

With its delicate beaches and sexy swimsuits and surfboards on the beach, the Hawaiian Islands in the North Pacific Ocean have everything a summer lover can say.

A tall girl in a black pinstriped bikini with a towering breast, under a huge palm tree leaning against an open-air restaurant and a cold drink stand, was talking on her mobile phone, but suddenly her expression fell into a stupor.

A beautiful girl with dark skin, a high nose and a big mouth next to the girl poked her fingers while drinking beer and said with a smile: "It's your turn, Tina, hurry up darling, turn the bottle up, turn it up." ”

The young people sitting around the tree also began to chant 'Tina, Tina, Tina...'

"No, no, something is wrong, I, I think things are wrong...

I, my heart is very uncomfortable, very wrong, I want to drink a glass of cold, my heart is very hot, I want to drink a glass of cold..."The companion seemed to wake up the girl at once, but she had no interest in playing the 'bottle game' at all, and got up from the beach in a trance, and stumbled towards the cold drink stand.

The dark-skinned girl on the side looked at this situation, and hurriedly stood up and helped her new friend, "Tina, what do you want to drink, I'll buy it for you."

Honey, are you uncomfortable there, your face is so bad, who called just now?"

"Call, by the way, it's Li Sheng, hell, what has happened in the past few months, am I because of him. Just...

Oh, I should call him back, call him back..."Tina said as she literally called back the number.

The ringtone was a blind tone that was busy, and the girl persevered for several minutes before finally connecting the phone.

"Tina, is there something wrong?" Zhang Lisheng's voice came from the mobile phone, which was calm and composed most of the time.

Hearing this voice, Tina's panic calmed down magically quickly, "No, no, I just want to call you again." Maybe, maybe I'll take tonight's plane back, and we'll meet tomorrow to see your workshop..."

"No, I just called the lawyer Edward Wells. He was introduced to me by you, remember, I had asked him to help me find a business representative to negotiate with those annoying farmers' associations, and like you said, he was really useful. ”

"yes, that's good..."

"Anything else?"

"No...

No, no, don't hang up the phone Li Sheng, I, I don't know what Lu Dao is for. After you came to the phone just now, I heard your voice, and I, I was very panicked..."

"Tina, what's wrong with you. Aren't Tricy and Cheria with you?"

"Shelia just went swimming with a handsome guy, and Tracy went to visit one of the oldest churches in Hawaii early in the morning, and I only had new friends around me..."

"Is it," a thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Lisheng's heart inexplicably. blurted out: "By the way, Tina, it's summer vacation soon, and I haven't been to Hawaii yet..."

"Are you planning to come to Hawaii for the summer vacation?" said Tina, surprised, "Then I won't go back to New York, I'll be waiting for you here." ”

"Oh yes, I can't stay in New York for a full two months of vacation anyway. ”

"Then we're decided, there are still more than ten days left before the summer vacation, and you'll come to me as soon as the holiday is over, baby?"

"It's good, I'll see you then. Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone with a little hot face, feeling a lot more relaxed inexplicably, and after staying in the house for a while, he found that he couldn't calm down, and thought about 'oh...' and ran downstairs, "Mom, I want to go for a walk today." ”

"Good baby, you haven't been out for a week, it's better to go out and relax. ”

"Then I'll go talk to George and go to lunch together, okay?"

"Of course you can, but remember not to use your brain too much, make your brain too tired, don't eat greasy things, and take medicine before eating..."Lily said in a rambling manner as she prepared lunch in the kitchen.

"I got it. Zhang Lisheng replied loudly and ran out of the house.

The weather in New York was already very hot in mid-June, but today the sun was covered by a thin layer of dark clouds, and although it never rained, the temperature was much cooler.

Zhang Lisheng wore shorts, sweatshirts and sandals printed with cartoon patterns that Lili bought, and walked along the shade of the trees to the parking lot, while calling George to set a meeting place, and then dialed Maddie's phone, "Check for me what are the planes to Hawaii three days before the summer vacation, and send me a message later..."

"I don't have time, really, don't bother me today, please..."

"What's wrong with you, Maddie?"

"My dad's tumor worsened, the doctor said he, said he was running out of time, and I am now in the hospital with my mother..."

"The tumor has worsened, so is there any salvation, go to a better hospital..."

"You, are you still willing to help me?"

"Of course, go ask the doctor, give me a call, and by the way, don't forget to check the plane to Hawaii. ”

Hanging up the third call of the day, before walking into the parking lot, Zhang Lisheng subconsciously looked around.

It was close to lunchtime, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, and as far as the eye could see, there were only four or five old men with dogs walking slowly, and three or four teenagers with skateboards and helmets laughing and speeding by.

"It seems that I am too sensitive. Zhang Lisheng smiled self-deprecatingly and walked towards his long-unstarted Ford 'Explorer'.

And not far from him, in a long van with 'municipal maintenance' written on the body across the street, a bearded middle-aged man in a beige uniform was using high-intensity electronic binoculars to look through the window of the car that could only be seen from the inside out, looking at Zhang Lisheng's disappearing back, and muttered loudly, "Target B098, seventh surveillance."

Eleven twenty... At 11:5, the call was made three times, and the call was answered once, two of which were made to the target B21, and the content of the call was not abnormal, and it was inferred that there was no abnormality, so it was recommended to cancel the monitoring. ”

As the bearded man chattered, the microwave oven in the carriage 'ding' sounded, and the door opened automatically, and a short middle-aged man who had been waiting by the microwave rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Hey man, our hot dog is ready."

It's finally time to complete this hellish surveillance mission.,Playing a game of 'hide and seek' with a few children all day long.,I really don't know what the 'big boss' thinks.。

The next time I have such a boring task, I will bring the frying pan and foamer at home and froth the bacon while making milk froth. ”

"Alright, Alexandre, complaining won't get you promoted.

Hey, give me a hot dog too, you can't eat alone, otherwise I'll re-enter the monitoring record, and it is recommended to monitor the target for another cycle..."The bearded middle-aged man put away the instrument and said with a smile.

While the two agents munched on hot dogs, got into the cab from the rear compartment, and drove towards the next surveillance target, Zhang Lisheng also drove the 'Explorer' out of the parking lot.

George was still working at the 'Du Ze Butcher's Shop' at noon on Saturday, and after turning left and right on the streets of New York for more than 20 minutes, he parked his car in the parking space outside the butcher's shop.

Soon, after work, George scurried out of the butcher shop and ran into the passenger seat of the 'Explorer'.

Hugging Zhang Lisheng, the noisy black boy said seriously: "Hey, man, it's good to see you safe and sound, according to the customs of your Chinese people, I invite you to a lobster dinner to suppress your shock." ”

"I'm going to eat at an Upper West Side restaurant. ”

"Forget it, let's go eat burgers, how about going to that 'Madison Fat Chicken Burger Joint', where your wheat is working, and you can give me an employee price." ”

"She can't be there today, I just talked to her on the phone, she was in the hospital, and it was said that her father's tumor had worsened..."

"Oh, that's unfortunate, man, aren't you supposed to be with her at this time?

I really don't understand what your relationship is, I've been seeing you in touch for the past few months...

Forget it, I'm sorry it's your private business, I shouldn't talk too much, but at times like this, Maddie really needs to be comforted, and I think you can comfort that girl. ”

After listening to his friend's words, Zhang Lisheng hesitated, "You're right about George, what I did in this matter is indeed a bit impersonal, OK, let's go to the doctor." With that, he started the car, made a turn, and drove towards the Cassandra Cancer Research Center in New York, following the guidance of the navigator.

After buying two hamburgers and two Cokes for a simple lunch on the way, Zhang Lisheng and George arrived at the small but somewhat famous Cassandra Cancer Research Center in a small complex that only occupies half a floor, and the time was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Since the people who usually go in and out of this private hospital are cancer patients and their families in addition to doctors and nurses, Zhang Lisheng immediately felt very depressed when he walked into it.

But the strange thing is that all the people here have smiles on their faces and look happy, and even a few patients who have been skinny and bones talk to the nurses softly, not slowly, not dry, not pessimistic and hopeless.

Due to the separation of two wards and the medical room, the waiting room in the doctor's office was not large, and Zhang Lisheng swept his eyes to see Maddie smiling and snuggling up with an old-looking middle-aged woman.

He hesitated for a moment and strode over, "Maddie, I heard from your father and came to the hospital with George to see you. ”

It wasn't until she heard this greeting that Maddie found out that Zhang Lisheng had come to the 'Cassandra Cancer Research Center'. And for the arrival of the teenager, she obviously didn't have any psychological preparation, and was stunned for a while. (To be continued.) )
