Chapter 889 The emperor is back
Two weeks before the New Year, Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi crossed the Indian Ocean and came to Cape Town, the sunny South African legislative capital. Before the plane landed, Hong Tao had roughly recognized its original appearance. The airport was built a few kilometers north of its Royal Manor. However, Cape Town is not the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Looking around, there are residential areas everywhere, tall buildings and highways, only Table Mountain is still the same.
"Oh my father-in-law, you look so young after dressing up like this." It was naturally Thomas who came to pick him up. Thomas now uses one sentence to describe it as energetic.
Light-colored linen pants, a beautiful beach top, three buttons on her chest, deliberately exposed a yellow chest hair, and a pair of sunglasses on her head. Looking at her back, she said that someone believed her over thirty years.
"Note your wording. My daughter is not married yet! Hello Jiang, I'm very happy to see you here." Thomas looked unhappy since seeing Hong Tao, and he was even less handsome when he heard the title of father-in-law. In other words, with Jiang Zhuyi following him, Thomas had to squeeze out a smile.
"You've recovered from the scar and forgot the pain. I'll declare in advance that I'm not responsible for explaining your personal issues to your family." Originally, Thomas' outfit made Hong Tao a little doubtful, and he looked like a standard playboy. At this time, he saw a blonde woman in the distance looking at this place, and immediately began to wonder what made him so refreshed.
"That's Dan, one of my friends, you live in her house first. It's such a troublesome thing. Why did I get along with the wanted criminals... Sorry, I'm not talking about you, Madam." Thomas looked down on Hong Tao's warning and reached out to take Jiang Zhuyi's travel bag, but turned a blind eye to the two big boxes that Hong Tao was dragging, and walked away with big strides.
Heavy taste. When Hong Tao met Dan at close range, he had a more evaluation of his father-in-law. Dan was probably not a few years older than Thomas, but he was dressed very young and had thick makeup. He looked no different from a big girl from a distance. But don’t get close. Although the ravines on her face were not as deep as Old Lady Zhang, they were not at a disadvantage in quantity. A standard mature woman was so familiar that she could not be more familiar.
Compared with Perth, Cape Town is much larger. It is nearly twenty kilometers from the airport to the bottom of the Signal Mountain. Along the way, you can see small communities similar to South American style, Victorian style churches, and magnificent modern shopping streets. Overall, the closer the harbor, the more prosperous the streets and the more regular the buildings are.
There is also a small house with different building materials, which is very similar to the private building in China, where large areas gather together. Thomas warned Hong Tao with a solemn look on his face, that no matter whether it is day or night, whether it is one person or two, he cannot come to such a place. As long as he commits a foul, he refuses to provide any help, but he can buy two air tickets for Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi and get out of here.
Why should we be so cautious? Not only because this is a slum, but also because it is an alien black area. People living here not only hate white people and variegated people, but also constantly fight each other because of ethnic issues. The public security can only be said to be very poor, and no local police dares to go deeper.
Dan is obviously also educated. Her English is more pure than Thomas, and she keeps sayings about Thomas. After all, women are women, they are meticulous and patient, and they are much more gentle than Thomas's style of killing and burying.
In order to allow Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi to understand the security situation in Cape Town, she taught the two guests a class on the current situation, history and humanities while driving.
The overall security in South Africa is not good, and it is even worse than that of the more developed South American countries. But relatively speaking, the security situation in Cape Town is the best in South Africa, mainly reflected in the tolerance of foreigners. However, the apartheid system has only ended for more than ten years, and many problems have only been downplayed and have not been completely changed.
In South Africa, whites are first-class people. They not only have a lot of wealth, but also have political resources. After the 1960s, Asians, mainly East Asian immigrants, rose rapidly in South Africa, just lower than whites, or in many ways, they are in par with whites.
Indians have a relatively low status, but their number is much larger than that of Asians. The lowest is blacks, who lack education and are lazy. Most of the blacks in the city are engaged in manual labor and service industries, which are considered the least income group.
As the saying goes, there is no lower, and there is no lower, and it has to be subdivided among blacks. Local blacks are relatively good, with families and businesses, and low incomes, and at least they can live. The worst of all are those illegal immigrants of blacks. Since South Africa is ruled by blacks in recent years, it has opened up the black brothers. More and more blacks have flocked to South Africa, which has triggered more conflicts, not only among blacks and whites, but also among blacks.
The privately built buildings that Hong Tao saw were black residential areas on the ground floor. Although the houses in Indian neighborhoods were not big, they were regular houses at least, and they could clearly distinguish them from the outside. It was easier to find houses for Chinese and white people, whether they were townhouses or single houses, as long as there were walls and barbed wire fences, they were basically all.
Hong Tao has been to many countries. There are not many cities in Europe where anti-theft windows are similar to prisons. They have only been seen in Italy. It is not common in North America, and some countries in South America do. But it is rare to turn the whole house into a high-walled barbed wire. This is the first time that the whole city has this kind of virtue.
It would be a big mistake to think that only high walls and barbed wire are houses in South Africa. Dan's home is at the foot of the Signal Mountain not far from the port, surrounded by green trees and quiet in the mid-range of Cape Town. It is a wealthy area in Cape Town, similar to the Mid-mountain area of Hong Kong.
This is a single-family house with a garage. From the outside, there seems to be no powerful facilities besides the low walls and iron fences. But as soon as I entered the yard, Hong Tao found a lot of small equipment, including courtyard walls, roofs and windows.
Dan said this is an infrared security equipment and is connected to the security center. Whenever it is touched, a security center call will come to ask about the situation. If no one answers the phone or the person who answers the phone is wrong, a fully armed security personnel will arrive within a few minutes, in order to ensure the safety of the residents.
This kind of equipment is not only available in wealthy areas, but also in some ordinary residential areas, but it is just a difference in grades. Of course, the safer the service you receive, the more money you have to pay, and it is also a considerable expense.
Originally, Hong Tao was not happy to live in other people's homes, which was inconvenient, but when Thomas and Dan were scared, he felt that staying in a hotel was a bit unreliable. The most important thing was that he and Jiang Zhuyi had special identities, so it would be better to not show up in public.
"Does my business have any flaws?" In fact, it is secondary to wherever I live. Hong Tao doesn't plan to take a vacation here. If you want to have fun, you will have the opportunity to come by yourself. Spending money to find a tour guide is much better than Thomas, whose nose is not a nose and face is not a face. Taking advantage of Dan and Jiang Zhuyi's time to go upstairs to pack their luggage, Hong Tao began to ask about the serious matters.
"The information has been sent out, and I am still waiting for the news." Thomas spread his hands and said that there was nothing good news to say.
"You came here for several days in advance and it's worth picking up girls. Look at my efficiency. Your son who has never been back in half a lifetime will be solved for you in less than a month. Why is the gap between people so big?" Hong Tao was very dissatisfied with Thomas's work attitude. Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. If you slowly find yourself to help him.
"This is not Hong Kong or China, it's useless to be anxious. I'm not the king of Lesotho! Dan's ex-husband works in the police department, and her son is a member of Cape Town. I'm not just for myself." Thomas didn't want to admit any of Hong Tao's accusations, and there were still a lot of reasons, and each sounded reasonable.
"Then have you slept with her?" Hong Tao blinked his eyes, filtered out all useless information, and grabbed the topic.
