At four o'clock in the afternoon, Haibara Ai was picked up by the driver at her apartment in Cupido. With the help of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, she quickly changed into her dress and accompanied Ike Feichi and Koshimizu Nanatsuki by car to the Umbrella Technology Park.
Chi Feichi arrived at the banquet venue half an hour early and received Ryan Harrison and Ryan's girlfriend Ivy in the room at the back of the venue.
Haihara Ai had done her homework beforehand and learned some information about the Harrison family. She also knew that Ivy had won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. Chi Feichi introduced Ryan Harrison and Ivy.
At that time, he took the initiative to say hello to the two of them.
Words like 'I met Ms. Ivy on the Emmy Awards interview show' are originally just common greetings, but these words spoken by a seven or eight-year-old child are more difficult to express than by an adult.
It seemed sincere and made Ivy smile.
Haiyuan Ai looked at Ivy's delicate face reflected in the light, and felt that the moment Ivy smiled, she looked like a gentle angel in movies and TV shows. She couldn't help but admire Ivy's beauty in her heart, and was thinking about whether to compliment her.
Ivy saw Ryan Harrison stand up from the sofa opposite, walk over and squat down in front of her.
Ryan Harrison stared at Haihara Ai with curiosity, "Do kids your age also pay attention to this kind of award?"
Haihara Ai was not used to Ryan Harrison's sudden approach, and subconsciously leaned to the left, leaning against Chi Feichi beside him, "Yes..."
Chi Feichi sat aside and answered for Haiyuan Ai, "She usually pays close attention to film, television, fashion and other topics."
Koshimi Nanatsuki added with a smile, "Xiao Ai is very interested in awards ceremonies, fashion shows and other programs!"
"Ah~ She is really a fashionable girl!" Ryan Harrison realized that he was too close, so he got up and walked back to the sofa opposite to sit down. However, the look in Haihara Ai's eyes became more and more curious, with a childlike look.
Fun asked, "Of all the American celebrities, who do you like the most?"
Haiyuan Ai did not lie against her will and said without thinking, "Grace-Ahhara."
She assumed the identity of Sister Grace and was originally indebted to Grace. If she had to choose an American female star to support, she would definitely choose Grace.
"Grace Ahala..." Ryan Harrison looked at Haiyuan Ai's face and fell into deep thought.
"Speaking of which..." Ivy also looked at Haiyuan Ai's face carefully and said in surprise, "Miss Elise looks similar to the child actress Grace!"
"I should say it's exactly the same, right?" Ryan Harrison corrected.
"Xiao Ai and Grace are twin sisters," Chi Feichi told Haiyuan Ai's background information that he used to hide his identity. "After their parents passed away, they were separated. Although they still kept in touch, they were usually very close.
See each other less."
"So that's it," Ivy looked at Hui Yuan Ai's face, unable to have any doubts in her heart, and sighed, "In terms of the time when she entered the film and television industry, Miss Grace is still my senior, but she started last year
Not very active, I heard..."
Hui Yuan Ai waited for a moment and found that Ivy didn't say any more. She seemed to be looking a little embarrassed. Worried that Grace-Ahhara was in trouble, she asked, "What did Miss Ivy hear?"
"It's just some rumors," Ivy smiled sheepishly. "In the past two years, some people said that she accidentally got involved in the mafia's struggle and went abroad to avoid trouble, so she fell silent. But she
She also appeared at a charity dinner this year. She did not hide abroad as rumored. I saw her from a distance at that time. She looked very relaxed and happy, and she didn't seem to be in trouble. So,
I think those rumors must be someone's nonsense. It doesn't seem good that we are talking about these gossips about her behind her back..."
Haihara Ai thought about the last time he saw Grace Ahara, Grace Ahara did not seem to be afraid or worried, and she felt a little relieved.
"However, it should be a fact that Grace is related to the Mafia. Her godfather seems to be related to the brothers," Ryan Harrison looked at Chi Feichi and asked casually, "Nat, who was sponsored by Umbrella before,
When Mr. Nutter ran for governor, Grace’s godfather and brotherhood were all supporters of Mr. Nutt. In terms of supporting Mr. Nutt, they should all be considered Umbrella’s allies, right?”
This matter is not a secret among the two major gangster alliances in the United States. Politicians in the two major gangster alliances all know that the Brotherhood has provided support for Luther-Nutter's campaign, but most people are not sure about the Brotherhood's support for Luther-Nutter.
How firm is the support, how many Umbrella reasons are behind it, and what cooperation agreement have the three parties reached?
Ryan Harrison asked this because he wanted to confirm with Chi Feichi: Are the Brotherhood and Umbrella closely involved allies?
Since the Brotherhood openly expressed its support for Luther Nutt, and Joshua also lobbied some people for Luther Nutt's campaign, so that those people would support Luther Nutt, Umbrella naturally also
I don't intend to hide too much about these things.
Chi Feichi nodded calmly and admitted, "Grace's godfather, most of the people in the brotherhood, and my father are indeed supporters of Mr. Nutt."
By saying this, he recognized that Umbrella and the Brotherhood were allies in a united front, and also acknowledged that Ryan Harrison put Joshua on the Brotherhood's side.
As for why Umbrella and the Brotherhood came together, what kind of exchange of interests the two parties had, and whether there were any human factors, that was a secret related to the interests of the Chi family, and he did not need to tell Ryan.
In fact, before he talked about this topic with Ryan, Ike Shinnosuke should have already communicated these things with Ryan's father, and Ike Shinnosuke would probably respond in the same way as him - let the Harrison family know that Umbrella can
We have the support of the Brotherhood, but the specific situation involves the interests of the Chi family, so we forgive them for the inconvenience of saying more.
If the Harrison family wants to know the details of the alliance, they can check it themselves.
Of course, the Chi family does not want others to know the details of the alliance, but if the Harrison family really finds out, the Chi family will not fall out with the Harrison family because of this matter.
Ryan Harrison knew that Chi Feichi could not say much. After hearing Chi Feichi hint that Umbrella and the Brotherhood were indeed allies, he did not ask any more questions and said with a smile, "Mr. Nutt's political ideas are indeed very attractive.
My father was full of praise when he talked about Mr. Nutt before. He said that Mr. Nutt was not a politician who only talked empty words, but a politician who was really willing to deal with problems and had great political talent. Mr. Nutt could attract people.
Going to Umbrella and supporting him with the Brotherhood can also prove that he is indeed very charming..."
Five minutes before the banquet started, Chi Feichi, Koshizu Nanatsuki, Haibara Ai, Ryan Harrison, and Ivy ended their chat, left the room, and prepared to greet the guests in the front banquet hall.
Before entering the banquet hall, Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but pull the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes. When Chi Feichi knelt down, he whispered, "Grace's godfather is related to the underworld. Didn't you tell me before?"
Said..."
Chi Feichi reached out and rubbed Hui Yuan Ai's hair, "Children don't need to know so much."
Hui Yuan Ai: "..."
(-)
Although Brother Fei Chi speaks so gently, it is still too perfunctory!
Chi Feichi didn't want Hui Yuarai to think too much, and added, "Moreover, Grace's godfather did not join the underworld. He is just a scholar who likes to study religion. He also likes to understand the hearts of people from different professions, so he has made many friends."
, those guys in the fraternity were just one of the friends he made."
"Actually, as long as he treats Grace well, I don't really care what his occupation is. I'm just worried that Grace will get involved in trouble." Haihara Ai also explained his thoughts to Chi Feichi, but thinking of Chi Feichi,
Fei Chi could not help but comment speechlessly, "You said that man has made many friends, including people from the underworld. He sounds like a very scary man..."
"Fei Chi!"
Yan Jiansan and Yan Qiufu walked from the corridor to the door and greeted Chi Feichi with a smile.
Chi Feichi stood up and responded to Yan Jiansan, "Mr. Yan..."
Hui Yuan Ai stopped pestering Chi Fei Chi and listened to Yan Jiansan and Chi Fei Chi chatting for a while. She successfully gained a follower around her - Yan Qiufu, who was chasing after calling her sister.
Soon, Dr. A Li, three children from the Young Detective Team, and three groups of Maori also arrived at the venue. The children spontaneously gathered with Haihara Ai, while the adults came to Chi Feichi to say hello and chat with Chi Feichi.
With the arrival of the Mizuno family, Shota Feimo and Hiroki Sawada, who were wearing Mizuno Mo and Mizuno's vests, were also thrown into the pile of children. Under the care of the waiter, they sat with a large group of children eating and drinking, standing vertically.
Listening to the story of the arson incident from the Young Detective Team didn't feel boring at all.
In addition, Chi Feichi also invited Koizumi Hongzi, a die-hard ally, and Kuroba Kaito, a non-blood relative brother, to attend the banquet, and asked Kuroba Kaito to call Nakamori Aoko.
Chi Feichi originally wanted to introduce Koizumi Hongzi and Ryan Harrison to make Koizumi Hongzi familiar with Ryan Harrison, but Koizumi Hongzi entered the arena and fought with Kuroba Kaito, and Nakamori Aoko ran to the corner.
After eating and drinking for a long time without stopping, Chi Feichi could only postpone the time to introduce the two of them to each other. He first greeted the friends he knew and the group of people introduced by Ryan Harrison. As a result, he waited until Chi Feichi finished his work and then
When he turned around, he found that Koizumi Anko, Kuroba Kaito, and Nakamori Aoko had disappeared.
As the host of the banquet, Chi Feichi had a lot of people to take care of and didn't have much energy to find people. He asked Koshizui Nanatsuki to call and ask about Koizumi Anko. He learned that Koizumi Anko and the other three had eaten enough and ran away.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of letting Koizumi Anko get familiar with Ryan Harrison.
The next morning, Ryan Harrison took Ivy on the plane and left Japan.
After Chi Feichi and Nanatsuki Yuesui went to the airport to see him off, they received Koizumi Hongzi who came to visit him at the Seven Detective Agency.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little surprised when he heard Koizumi Anko's intention, "Going to Fukuoka? Today?"
