Chapter 566 Let's do it(1/2)
For more than ten days, Luo Lie has only been practicing martial arts, and even Alice has ignored a lot, let alone Father Simon. Alice has not been with Luo Lie and is unwilling to face Father Simon alone, so for Alice, she is indeed a little panicked.
"Okay, let's go around and buy some vegetables at the vegetable market and let Simon cook for us. I haven't tasted Simon's skills for a long time." Although Luo Lie had no appetite, he still happily agreed to Alice.
Father Simon was naturally ecstatic about the two of them coming to San Francisco. This was the first time Alice entered his residence since she arrived in San Francisco. Oh, no, even when she was in New York, Alice entered his residence for the first time. Father Simon was excited and even spoke in a malfunction, stuttering and didn't know what to express. Alice was more generous and handed over the dish she had just bought and said, "Nori and I want to eat the dishes you cook. Thank you for your hard work, Simon."
Father Simon nodded happily and said, "It's not hard work, I'm so happy that you can come to see me." Father Simon took the dishes handed over by Alice, turned around and went into the kitchen to work hard.
Not long after, four exquisite dishes were served on the dining table. Father Simon took two wine glasses and a bottle of wine from the cupboard and placed them in front of Luo Lie. Luo Lie smelled the smell of alcohol, and couldn't help but swell upside down in his belly, almost heading straight to the bathroom.
Father Simon was confused, while Alice giggled and explained, "Nori was drunk last night and vomited two hours ago, so he felt uncomfortable when he saw the wine."
Simon was a little embarrassed and quickly put away the wine and glasses.
"Simon, I forgot to ask you, didn't you go to work in the seminary? Why didn't you go to work today?" Luo Lie picked up the chopsticks, suddenly thought of this question, and asked casually.
Father Simon responded with a smile: "Nuoli, a drunkenness won't make you stupid, it's a week. People in the world don't have to work."
Alice immediately retorted: "No, Simon, you are wrong, Celena is going to work."
When Father Simon mentioned Selena's name, he was stunned and then asked, "Alice, is Celena okay?"
Alice shook her head and said, "She thought she was very good and had to work until late every day, but I can see that she was not good. She seemed to have said goodbye to her. Simon, I wonder why you didn't go to see her? Noli has created such good conditions for you. Are you still counting on Noli to bring Celena to you?"
Father Simon stammered: "I...I, I should have taken the initiative to visit her, but Alice, I haven't seen Celena for fifteen years. I don't know what I can say after seeing her. I'm even more worried that she doesn't want to see me again."
Alice said angrily: "Simon, you are a coward!"
Father Simon sighed and lowered his head.
Luo Lie said: "Alice, you can't blame Simon all. He dare not ask for complete understanding between you and Celena. He is satisfied that he can see you often and often hear about Celena's news. So, he dare not take a step forward bravely." After a moment, Luo Lie then said to Simon: "But Alice is right, Simon, in this matter, you act like a coward. But I know, you are not a real coward. You are using courage, right?"
Father Simon was silent for a moment, finally nodded, responding: "Nori, you are right, Simon Matthews is definitely not a coward. Alice, don't worry, Simon will definitely pursue Celena again."
Alice smiled happily, clenched her fists, waved twice in front of Father Simon's eyes, and said, "Come on! Simon, I believe you will succeed!"
After dinner, Alice rushes to clean the dining table and wash the dishes. Father Simon hurriedly stops it. After fifteen years of guilt, Father Simon has only infinite spoiled Alice. Alice couldn't resist and could only let Father Simon clean up the dining table and walk into the kitchen with a plate and bowl. Looking at Father Simon's back, Alice suddenly turned red.
Luo Lie instantly realized Alice's mood and encouraged him: "Alice, follow it in, it's okay to have a fight."
Alice took a deep breath, shook her head, and replied, "Nuoli, I'm afraid I can't control it. This is unfair to Celena. She raised me alone for fifteen years, and I can't forgive Simon before her."
Luo Lieying said: "I understand, Alice, since that's the case, I think we'd better leave earlier."
Alice nodded in agreement.
Luo Lie immediately greeted Father Simon. Although Father Simon was a little reluctant, he didn't say much. He just took out a bag of fruit and insisted that Alice take it back and eat it.
Holding the bag of fruit in one hand and Alice's waist in the other. Luo Lie, who was walking under the shade of the trees on the street, didn't know for a moment whether the dizziness in his head was due to drunkenness or because of happiness.
"Nuoli, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Luo Lie's dizziness flashed, and his body's reaction was even more slight, but Alice still caught it and asked with concern.
Luo Lie lowered his head, kissed Alice's forehead, and said, "I'm much better, Alice, don't worry about me."
In the summer of the seaside city, rain comes at any time. It was just a sunny day. A dark cloud floated, and dense raindrops fell. Alice giggled and dragged Luo Lie to a shop on the side of the road to shelter from the roof of the road. But the rain also walked at any time. The road was just soaked, and the dark clouds had already floated by and the sunshine fell again.
A black car rushed over and suddenly stepped on the brakes when passing by Luo Lie and Alice. Even though the driving was very fast, the car rushed out more than ten meters before stopping. Luo Lie was stunned and saw the car slowly retreating. In the driver's seat, Dong Biao poked his head out and took off his sunglasses: "I said where are you two running? It turns out that you are slamming the road here! Then, if there is nothing else, get in the car, Brother Biao will take you for a ride."
Luo Lie leaned over, but was not in a hurry to get into the car and asked, "Brother Biao, why are you going out alone? Are you going to date a beauty?"
Alice joked and said, "If it's really a date, then we'd better not get in the car."
Dong Biao hummed, put on his sunglasses again, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and nagged as the car slides forward: "I'm asking you for a head! Brother Biao is just going to the customs police station to get someone, and it's Brother Bin's arrangement. Do you need to take your brother? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up if you want to get on the car, go cooler if you don't want to get on the car."
Luo Lie smiled and jumped into the car. He pulled Alice up and said, "It's better to have a cooler ride."
When the car got on the road, Dong Biao joked: "Luo Lie, you are about to revisit the old place. How is your mood at this moment?"
Luo Lie replied: "I wonder if the Sheriff Nelson who sold me and An Zhai and I for thirty dollars is still there?"
Dong Biao said: "Nelson is a police superintendent, not a sheriff. That guy is doing well. If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably be promoted to police superintendent by the end of the year."
Luo Lie said angrily: "What kind of world is this? People like Nelson are fine if they are not removed from the position, but they can still be promoted?"
Dong Biao turned his head to look at Luo Lie, and snorted and said, "What? Do you still hold a grudge for the little things five years ago?"
Luo Lie said: "That's not the case, it's just a sense of reason."
Dong Biao sighed and said, "Then you are wrong! Nelson is a little greedy, but how many of the foreign policemen are not? Putting aside the relationship between Anliangtang and Nelson, just talk about your messy things five years ago. If Nelson hadn't been greedy for that little money, wouldn't he throw you two into the sea to feed fish?"
Alice heard Luo Lie tell this story more than once, so she was more clear about the whole process than Dong Biao. At this moment, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Yes, Nuoli, Brother Biao is right. Not only should you not hold a grudge against Nelson, but on the contrary, you should be grateful to him."
Luo Lie sighed: "What are you two saying? I didn't say that I still hold a grudge against Nelson. I just want to say that a policeman like Bilson who can be promoted, and the United States of America may not be able to do well..."
Dong Biao interrupted Luo Lie with a smile and said, "The United States is so good, how much does it have to do with us Chinese? Let's just make money and eat less, and do less with foreign affairs."
Alice protested: "Brother Biao, don't you want to care about Simon and Celena?"
Luo Lie immediately replied, "Yes, they are the perfect foreigners!"
Dong Biao turned the steering wheel, turned the car a corner, and replied with a smile: "You two are deliberately provoking Brother Biao, are you?"
After turning around, the car had already boarded the beachfront. Dong Biao did not drive directly to the customs police station, but found a cafe nearby and stopped. "You two get out of the car first, find a secluded seat inside, and I'll take Nelson over." Dong Biao sighed lightly, and then said, "I don't follow the past now, I have to be careful when doing things."
Dong Biao put Luo Lie Alice down the car and continued to move forward. Luo Lie held Alice's hand and pushed the door into the cafe. There were not many customers. Luo Lie chose the seat that was closest to the inside and sat down, called the waiter, ordered two cups of coffee to wait for Dong Biao.
Not long after, Dong Biao brought Nelson to the cafe.
Luo Lie still had an impression of Nelson. To be honest, although Luo Lie was not grateful to Nelson, he had no hatred at all. When he was locked in the Customs Police Station, Nelson treated them well, and he had no punishment. He also took care of two meals. "Hello, Superintendent Nelson, I don't know if you can recognize me." Seeing Dong Biao walking with Nelson, Luo Lie got up early and stretched out his hand.
Nelson stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan, held Luo Lie, and joked: "My friend, of course I remember you. The agile swimming postures of you and another fat guy left a deep impression on me." After teasing Luo Lie, Nelson turned to Dong Biao and continued: "If I had known that he could grow up to such a handsome young man, I should have offered Tom a double price."
Dong Biao opened the seat for Nelson, called the waiter, ordered two of the best coffee and a few snacks.
"Nelson, let me introduce it. This is my girlfriend, Alice." While Dong Biao was busy, Luo Lie introduced Alice to Nelson. Alice generously reached out to Nelson and added: "Alice Tiger."
Nelson took Alice's hand very gentlemanly, made a symbolic kissing move, and praised: "You are really like a beautiful angel."
The waiter quickly brought coffee and snacks. After the waiter left, Dong Biao patted Nelson on the shoulder and said, "Nelson, Noli and Alice are both their own people. You don't have to worry about what to do about this matter and how much it costs, just tell me."
Nelson sighed lightly, picked up the coffee cup and sipped it, put it down, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Jack, we have been friends for many years. You know me. Nelson never likes to drag things on the mud. But this time it's different, people are not in my hands."
Dong Biao smiled faintly and said, "As long as the person is still in the Customs Police Station, you will definitely have a way, right? My friend."
Nelson nodded and said, "Since I'm willing to promise you to come out for a cup of coffee, it means I still have a solution. However, Jack, I must explain in advance. This time it may not be that easy for you to take someone out of my police station."
Dong Biao said: "Of course I know! Nelson, you are a happy person, and I don't like to talk too much, just offer a price."
Nelson stretched out two fingers and said, "Three hundred knives, no less than a penny."
Dong Biao took out the checkbook from his arms, then took out a fountain pen, and wrote a check worth three hundred dollars: "Nelson, fortunately you are talking to me about business. If Tom was replaced, he would definitely bargain with you." After handing the check to Nelson's hands, Dong Biao asked, "When will I take the person away?"
Nelson packed the check, thought for a while, and replied, "Give me an hour." With Dong Biao's approval, Nelson quickly finished the cup of coffee and hurried away.
"Brother Biao, who does it cost so much money to make?" Luo Lie still remembers that he and Brother An Zhai got together for only thirty dollars. Now this person is ten times that of him and An Zhai, so Luo Lie's psychology is naturally a little unbalanced.
Dong Biao smiled, but was not in a hurry to reply. He took a sip of coffee and had a snack, and then he slowly said: "It's not an important person, it's just a scum."
Hearing the word "Stealing Sect", Luo Lie suddenly thought of his master's old ghost. However, what Dong Biao said was a scum of the sect, so naturally it would not be a master. "Since he is a scum, why is it worth spending so much money by Brother Biao? Brother Biao, I'm afraid there is another hidden truth in this?"
Dong Biao pointed at Luo Lie and said with a smile: "Why do you say that Brother Bin admires you so much? Well, Brother Biao will tell the truth. The thief we are going to catch today is cheating out of all the documents of a student five years ago, which made that young man..."
Luo Lie said in surprise: "Are you talking about him?"
Dong Biao nodded and said proudly: "That's right, it's him. Today, Brother Biao is going to take him back to the hall for the student's anger that has been holding back for five years. Do you think this three hundred dollars is worth it?"
Luo Lie nodded happily at first, but then he showed suspicion on his face, and he slowly shook his head and said, "No, Brother Biao, you didn't tell me the truth."
Dong Biao decided: "Are you saying Brother Biao lied to you? Well, when Nelson gets out the scum of the thief, you can identify it yourself and see if Brother Biao lied to you."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I didn't say you lied to me, I mean, you must have something else to tell me."
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "You are not reasonable now, right? Brother Biao is kind and just wants to vent his anger for you. It would be fine if you don't appreciate it, but how can you doubt Brother Biao's motive?"
Alice also persuaded Luo Lie, "Nuoli, you should believe Brother Biao!"
Luo Lie sighed slowly, "Five years ago, the man cheated away all my documents, which made An Zhai and I jumped into the sea. It would be absolutely lies to say that I don't hate this person. For the past five years, I have always been thinking about this person, and I have suspected my master for this, thinking that he was deliberately making a plan to trick me into Anliang Hall. If Brother Biao saw my thoughts and found this person for me, it would be reasonable in theory. However, for this, Brother Biao didn't need to spend the huge sum of 300 US dollars. He just needed to take me to the customs police station, recognize that person, and then beat him up. Ten dollars was to solve the problem with 300 US dollars. This was not Brother Biao's style, nor was it Biao's style. So, I dare to conclude that there must be something hidden behind the scum of the thief."
Dong Biao couldn't help but praise: "Young master is the young master, you can't accept it! Well, Brother Biao has admitted defeat. There is indeed another hidden truth in this."
Luo Lie said: "Can Brother Biao tell me what the hidden truth behind this?"
Dong Biao ignored it, but looked at Alice first.
Alice curled her lips and said, "If I can't hear it, I can go outside."
Dong Biao replied with a smile: "You misunderstood, Alice, An Liangtang has long regarded you as his own person and has nothing to hide from you. But I am worried that you are not interested in our China affairs."
Alice smiled and said, "As long as Nuoli is by my side, even if you just count the sheep boredly, I will still be interested in hearing from beginning to end."
Dong Biao looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's still early anyway, and I'm idle, so telling a story is all about relieving your boredom. However, before telling a story, I want to ask you a question first. Master, you were trapped in the cell of the Customs Police Station five years ago. How could Brother Bin take the initiative to catch you?"
Luo Lie said: "When I was a child, I thought it was just a normal labor transaction between Brother Bin and Nelson, but later I got to know that Brother Bin usually doesn't come forward to do this kind of business, and even Brother Biao doesn't need to do it yourself. It is because of this that I doubt my master."
Dong Biao nodded and smiled, "Your suspicion is right. It is indeed the one recommended by Uncle Gui to Brother Bin. But don't get me wrong! It's definitely not your master who cheated you out of your ID on the dock. I don't need to explain this. Nelson will bring the sniper who stole the sect later and the truth will be revealed."
Luo Lie said: "Brother Biao, of course you don't need an explanation. I can guess that Master should be on the boat at that time."
Dong Biao snorted and said, "Then you can continue guessing it. It's really boring to tell stories to people like you."
Luo Lie quickly apologized and said, "Brother Biao calmed down, can't I admit my mistake?"
Dong Biao smiled, took a sip of coffee happily, cleared his throat, and said, "Five years ago, the Internal Automobile Bureau first came to America. What is the reason? Master, have you heard of the reason?"
Luo Lie nodded and replied, "I heard it was coming for a list."
