Chapter 194 Heading to Cambodia
Chapter 196 Heading to Cambodia
Time came to mid-June, and on this day, Avril finally took off the brace around her neck.
During this period, a Chinese medicine doctor would come over every two days to give Avril acupuncture.
Every time he saw Avril's neck covered with tiny needles, Sonny looked like he couldn't bear it.
This guy is also a weirdo. He is not afraid of being shot, but he is afraid of this.
But I have to say that the effect of acupuncture is really miraculous.
Swager himself is a fan of acupuncture because he has personally experienced it.
It was a latent mission. He lurked in the cold wind for 48 hours, and finally waited for the enemy to snipe him from a distance.
But because the hiding environment was too harsh and there was a cold wind, he suffered from facial paralysis, which is what Western medicine calls facial neuritis.
Western medicine usually treats this disease by taking neurotrophic drugs such as B1, combined with antiviral drugs and hormones.
But that time, Swager's treatment was not ideal, and the symptoms continued to fail to improve.
Later, the doctor at the hospital suggested that he try traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Swager, like most Americans, does not know much about Chinese medicine and even thinks it is a witch doctor.
At that time, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, he found a well-known local Chinese medicine clinic, but found that there were many Americans like him in the hospital.
Then he was shocked by the effect of acupuncture.
After only two punctures, the face was significantly improved, which changed Swager's impression of traditional Chinese medicine.
In the end, Swager recovered. He was lucky and arrived at the right time without any sequelae.
At this point, Swager became a die-hard fan of acupuncture. He also tried scraping and cupping. He didn't understand the Chinese five-element theory, but the effect was immediate.
Therefore, Swager agreed very much with Avril Lavigne receiving acupuncture treatment, and even explained the principles of acupuncture to Avril Lavigne to dispel her doubts.
Avril was doubtful about Swager's popular science, but she firmly believed that Morgan would not harm her, so she accepted the treatment.
Acupuncture once again proved its strength with facts. It only took half a month for Avril to remove the stent.
I went to the hospital for a follow-up visit again, and the doctor concluded that as long as I didn’t do too strenuous exercise, there would be no big problem.
Seeing Avril's recovery, several people sent their blessings.
The instructions given by Jack and the three of them were definitely sincere. If this woman's neck is healed, she can do more things. There is no need to drag them to play mahjong every day.
Who knew that a courier would be delivered that afternoon, a fully automatic mahjong table.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes changed when they looked at Avril.
Sonny even shouted that this mahjong table was bought with his winning money.
Just when they thought Avril was going to drag them to play mahjong again, Morgan came to save them.
"God bless you. It's great. You've recovered. I thought I couldn't catch up."
"What?"
Morgan's words confused everyone, and Avril's eyes were also full of doubts.
"Oh, dear, that's it."
As soon as he heard Morgan's opening remarks, Jack knew that something bad was going to happen next, and sure enough...
Just listen to Morgan say: "I'm afraid the trip to Cambodia originally scheduled for the end of this month will have to be brought forward."
"What's going on?"
Avril looked at Morgan with big eyes.
"There has been some unrest over there recently, and the organizer who invited us is not very popular locally, so they want to hold a ceremony in advance to finalize the matter."
After Morgan's narration, everyone roughly understood the relationship.
Dominion Resources Company is an old American company. Through cooperation with the Cambodian government, they control more than 70% of Cambodia’s tap water resources.
Both parties jointly invested in the establishment of a new company. In this way, Dominion completed its monopoly on tap water in disguise.
Of course, I don’t know whether there is corruption involved or whether Cambodian officials are involved.
And Avril Lavigne’s performance is to give this new company a platform.
The organizer not only invited her, but also invited some celebrities from other countries who are popular in Cambodia, just to increase the momentum.
However, people have long been dissatisfied with their monopoly, and this dissatisfaction is slowly growing.
Recently, there has been talk of breaking this monopoly, and citizens often demonstrate against this.
Dominion Corporation is also considering this and hopes to advance the ceremony.
"How early do they want to go?"
"This Friday, three days later, they also invited others, but you are the biggest one here."
When Morgan told the time, he stared at Avril carefully, and even complimented her. He couldn't help it, Avril was known for her personality, and he was really afraid that Avril would not cooperate.
This agent is really upset.
"Well, I have nothing to do during this time anyway."
Unexpectedly, Avril Lavigne agreed happily. She has been recuperating at home during this period, and she has indeed stayed enough. She urgently needs to go out for some fresh air. It would be good to go abroad for a while.
"Okay, I'll inform the organizers that the time has been advanced and we have made sacrifices. They must compensate us, at least provide a private jet transfer."
Morgan was overjoyed. He didn't expect Avril to be so easy to talk to this time. He stood up excitedly and hurriedly walked to the corner to call the organizer. Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid the compensation would not only be a private plane round trip.
.
The next day, Avril Lavigne and her group arrived at the airport and drove directly to the tarmac. On the runway, the private jet prepared by the organizer was already ready for takeoff.
The stewardess was waiting at the bottom of the gangway with a smile on her face and nodded to everyone she saw.
Morgan arrived a little earlier than Avril and the others, with two cars in front and behind.
Probably because he was afraid that Avril would regret it, Morgan had a very tight schedule.
The ceremony was obviously going to be held in three days, but they actually set off one day in advance.
Jack put down half of his sunglasses and took a look. Compared to large airlines where all the aunties are, the private jet flight attendants are indeed good-looking.
Everyone boarded the plane. It was a Gulfstream G450. It was much roomier than the FBI plane that Jack had flown on. It should be a new model temporarily rented by the organizer.
Jack put the bag in the luggage compartment. Avril was not very impressive and only had an assistant accompanying her when traveling. She was not willing to hire more people for her if Morgan wanted to.
Traveling is not a procession of bodyguards, there are usually only three to four bodyguards.
After getting on the plane, Avril went to find a place to catch up on her sleep.
The mahjong machine arrived yesterday, and I had everyone play mahjong for a long time. It was really addictive.
The three Jacks also wanted to find a place to rest, but Sonny was called aside by Morgan.
"It's not very safe there these two days, so you should be more careful when you go to Cambodia."
Morgan seemed worried: "The organizer said that people have been going to the government to protest in the past two days. Cambodian officials have felt the pressure, so they wanted to move forward. It is said that some celebrities invited by the organizer regretted coming after learning about this situation.
..."
"Okay, we will try our best."
Sonny didn't ask, "Then why does Avril still go?" This is what they do. If everything is safe, what else do they need to do?
Chapter completed!
