The pickup truck stopped steadily in front of the Longfeng Teahouse.
Zuo Yi opened the car door first and jumped out, followed by Gu Kai and Zhang Yun who had survived the disaster.
St. George's Chinatown and the slums are only separated by a long street, but they are two completely different worlds.
The place is prosperous, stable and orderly. Tourists come and go on the streets. People take photos and leave messages on the streets. They laugh and laugh from time to time. The air is filled with the smell of delicious food.
The familiar sight in front of them made the two of them burst into tears.
Yesterday, they were kidnapped by a gang and taken into the St. George slum. Gu Kai and his wife thought that they might not be able to survive this time, and they felt extremely regretful in their hearts.
You should know that if you had returned to China to reunite with Gu Yunxi a few days ago, such a thing would not have happened.
At the most desperate moment, Zuo Yi, whom they had not seen for many years, suddenly appeared and used incredible means to rescue the two of them.
To be honest, they still feel like a dream.
"Third sister, brother-in-law!"
Zhang Yaoming, who was waiting at the door of the teahouse, cried with joy: "Thank God, you are safe and sound."
After Gu Kai contacted Gu Yunxi just now, he called Zhang Yaoming to report that he was safe.
Gu Kai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, hugged him, and said, "Sorry to trouble you, I made you worry."
Zhang Yaoming shook his head: "Brother-in-law, our family does not speak the same language. The person you have to thank is Mr. Zuo Yi."
Previously, Zuo Yi went to the St. George's slum alone with the ransom. Zhang Yaoming was very worried and could not sit still in the teahouse, fearing that Zuo Yi would also fall into the trap and Gu Kai and his wife would be torn apart by the Hellfire people.
As a result, less than an hour later, Gu Kai called.
Zhang Yaoming truly admired Zuo Yi and looked at Zuo Yi with admiration in his eyes.
So cool!
"yes."
Gu Kai's mood gradually calmed down.
He actually wanted to tell Zhang Yaoming that Zuo Yi almost became his son-in-law back then, but it was a pity that he was not destined to be.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, you two have suffered."
At this time, President Chen from the Chinatown Self-Management Committee and Miss Sun from Huaixia Hall also came over.
Chairman Chen laughed and said: "With auspicious heavenly signs, there will be good fortune in the future!"
Gu Kai was grateful: "Thank you, thank you, President Chen."
He was talking politely to Chairman Chen, but Miss Sun, who was following behind, was distracted and glanced at Zuo Yi secretly, with shock and awe in her eyes.
The Huaixia Church where Miss Sun works is the most powerful church in St. George's Chinatown. It has always protected the tranquility of this overseas Chinese home, and has been in contact and even conflict with the gangs in the St. George's slum.
In order to protect Chinatown from being invaded by gangsters, Huaixiatang and the Self-Administration Association reached an agreement with the latter to pay protection fees in exchange for peace.
On the other hand, Huaixiatang strengthened its own force and deployed a lot of spies in the slums.
Zuo Yi went on a killing spree in Paul's Monastery, which was no different than detonating a powerful bomb in the middle of the slum. The relevant news was quickly passed on.
Miss Sun got the news immediately, so she knew what Zuo Yi was doing in Hellfire's lair.
Thinking that Iron Fist Paul, who had a notorious reputation and was very feared by Huaixia Hall, died in Zuo Yi's hands, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Zuo Yi again.
Zhang Yaoming, however, had limited knowledge and did not know the details, otherwise he would not be much better than Miss Sun. He smiled and said: "Third sister, brother-in-law, let's all go upstairs. I just asked the shopkeeper to personally cook and prepare a banquet for you."
Shocking."
The owner of Dragon Phoenix Teahouse, whose surname is Chen, came all the way to St. George's three generations ago to settle down and open this authentic Cantonese-style teahouse in Chinatown. In addition to morning and afternoon tea, it also provides customized banquets for customers.
St. George's is a large coastal city with abundant seafood products, which is suitable for Cantonese cuisine. However, it is not easy to ask the owner of Longfeng Teahouse, Mr. Chen, to personally cook it.
Everyone sat down in the private room, and fresh seafood was served one after another. They drank and drank together, and the atmosphere in the dining room gradually became lively.
Gu Kai drank several glasses of wine and became a little drunk without realizing it. He said to Zhang Yaoming: "Yaoming, I discussed it with your sister before. We will return to China tomorrow. Please help us deal with the things here.
It doesn’t matter how much it is.”
A few years ago, he and Zhang Yun ran to St. George's, thinking that they might never be able to go back, so they invested most of the savings they brought with them to buy properties in Chinatown.
So when they received a call from Gu Yunxi, the two of them thought about taking some time to transfer the store they had worked so hard to run without losing too much, and then return to China to reunite with their daughter.
As a result, after such an incident happened, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun's thoughts completely changed, and they wished they could fly back home now.
As for the store, don’t worry about it at all - life is more important than anything else!
"Yao Ming..."
Gu Kai thought for a while and then said: "Why don't you go back with us?"
St. George was still too dangerous. There was only a wall between Chinatown and the slums. He had heard some things before, but he didn't care if it didn't happen to him. Only when it happened to him did he feel fear and fear.
"I'll just say it again."
Zhang Yaoming smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I want to go back, I won't be able to go back for a while."
Unlike Gu Kai and his wife, he has been here for 20 or 30 years, all his career and connections are here, and his wife is also a descendant of early Daxia immigrants, so there is no way he can just walk away.
Gu Kai hesitated for a moment, then said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to live here in the future."
This statement is actually a bit demeaning, but he has a relatively upright personality and is also worried about Zhang Yaoming's safety.
President Chen and Miss Sun looked at each other, and the latter said: "Actually, don't worry, first of all, Hellfire broke the rules in this matter, and..."
She looked at Zuo Yi, who was sitting next to her.
Iron Fist Paul is the number one warrior of Hellfire. He has the most arrogant and domineering character. He has many enemies within the gang. His elimination by Zuo Yi is undoubtedly a great shock to the local gang forces. Not many people may be willing to fight for him.
revenge.
Huaixiatang, which has been operating here for two to three hundred years, is not vegetarian!
"Uncle Gu, Auntie."
Zuo Yi said: "You will go back to China tomorrow. I will stay here for a few more days. There are some things I need to know."
He wanted to know whether the kidnapping of Gu Kai and Zhang Yun was an accident or whether someone was behind it.
Speaking of which, Zuo Yi should have left the plaid shirt alive to inquire about the truth, but it didn't matter if he was killed, there might be others who knew the inside story.
In addition, Zuo Yi also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Paparo to visit the place he traveled to back then!
