Manhattan Reborn 1978

Hong Kong

Evening~

Central, Cotton Rouge Road.

The car driven by driver Zhou Liwen slowly stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light.

Brotney Mejia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stared at the rearview mirror for a while, then turned to look at Manqi, who was sitting in the back seat with dull eyes, and the little secretary Maggie, who was full of novelty, and suddenly Asked Zhou Liwen.

"Did you discover those two people following you?"

"Ah... yes!" Zhou Liwen glared ahead and tried not to look at Mexia, and nodded.

"You asked your police friends to help you check their identities?"

"Are they all Americans?"

"Yes.."

"and then?"

"What else did you do?"

"Did nothing."

"I just watched them follow the Peninsula Hotel's car and leave..." Zhou Liwen told what he saw and heard honestly.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Mexia's face, she turned to look in the rearview mirror and stopped talking.

Zhou Liwen saw the green light ahead and drove south quickly along the Cotton Red Road, hoping to reach his destination as soon as possible. .

Mexia turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window and backed away quickly, stretched her hand out of the car window, made a few gestures in front of the rearview mirror, and continued to stare at the rearview mirror with a frown.

. . .

The Peak, No. 60 Mount Galley Road.

David, who had just woken up in the bedroom on the second floor, rubbed his dry eyes and walked down the stairs. He happened to see Mecia, Manqi, Maggie and Zhou Liwen walking in from the door. He waved to them and smiled. .

"Welcome to my new home."

"..." Maggie, the little secretary holding Manqi's arm, secretly glanced at her boss David, with a very expressive expression.

Mecia didn't seem to have any interest in the house, so she walked straight to David, pulled him to find a quiet corner, and whispered a few words.

After David folded his arms on his chest and listened carefully to her "report", he thought about it and asked.

"That is to say, Odis Parker has already taken a flight back to New York."

"The person who is following me and the evil person who has been staring at him are not the same group at all?"

"Ah."

"I don't understand this."

"Who wants to know my whereabouts? Send someone to follow me?" David asked, rubbing his chin with his hand.

A smile flashed in Mexia's eyes, she took the initiative to take a half step forward, put her hand on David's arm, and whispered.

"It's cia!"

"what?"

"What do they want?"

"Don't be nervous first, I've already found someone to ask them."

"They just got orders from their superiors to investigate who you have met and where you have been in Xiangjiang and Tokyo."

"They have not received any further tasks or orders against you, nor have they used professional eavesdropping methods to pry into your privacy."

"..." David curled his lips with a complicated expression, looked at Mecia who was right in front of him, and said with a wry smile.

"Then our intimate behavior in front of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo was also seen by all of them?"

"Yeah~" Mecia asked with a teasing smile.

"how?"

"Have you never thought about taking your relationship to a deeper level with me?"

"Um...you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course!"

"No."

"..."

"Haha~" David smiled, opened his arms, gently held Mecia in his arms, and explained.

"I am a greedy, selfish person!"

"And you may never have thought that you would be trapped next to someone and live an ordinary life."

"So, I can't give you what you want, so we can only maintain the way we are now - being able to get close to each other at any time without any obstacles, while maintaining a distance from each other."

"Oh~" Mecia leaned back, broke away from David's arms and looked up into his eyes, sighing with a weird smile.

"If you were born into a noble family in Europe, those aristocratic ladies and ladies who like to fantasize all day long will go crazy for you."

"Hahaha~" David felt as if he had heard the most beautiful compliment, and he walked towards the living room with Messia with a smile.

. . .

Dinner time.

Kanes, who came specially from the hotel, looked at the delicacies that Cui Yingying and Ruan Xiaoling had spent the entire afternoon carefully preparing, and felt his appetite grow louder.

"Hey~David!"

"Where did you go again?"

"I am a guest! Does the guest understand?"

"You bastard!"

"Here it comes~"

After Kanes deliberately made a noise for a while, David pulled his sister Manqi into the restaurant from the backyard, pushed her into a seat, smiled at Cui Yingying who had a trace of worry on her face, and walked over Karnes asked next to him.

"You came uninvited, what kind of guest do you think you are?"

"cut!"

Kanes took the napkin from Ruan Xiaoling, pointed around and pouted: "The last time Bill and I came to Xiangjiang, he bought this house from HSBC Bank according to my uncle's instructions."

"It was meant to be given to me, you know?"

"do not know."

"But I know that the milk it produces belongs to me."

"..."

"Hahaha~"

David took the chopsticks from Cui Yingying, waved to the little secretaries Maggie, Mecia and Manqi, and smiled.

"Tonight is our last night in Xiangjiang, so everyone should be more casual."

"That's right, Carnes."

"Where are little Peter and Blaise?"

"Have they been to the World of Two?"

Kanes skillfully picked up the chopsticks and scanned the dishes in front of him, shrugging.

"I don't know~"

"After we went back in the morning, little Peter went out with Blaise."

"What about you? Didn't you go see Uncle Schroter off?"

"Why send him?"

"He will go to Tokyo from London in a few days..."

"Oh.."

"Then when you were on your way back, did Uncle Schrott tell you what your impression of me was?"

"..." Kanes chewed a piece of beef bone in his mouth, tilted his head and squinted at David and sneered.

"You still care about this?"

"Of course, how could I not care!"

"Haha~" Kanes smiled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and swallowed the food in his mouth before saying.

"Uncle, he didn't mention you to us on the way back. Instead, he introduced his experience of visiting Singapore to little Peter."

"Singapore?"

"How is the development over there?"

"its not bad, right."

"The founding father of Singapore named Lee Kai Rao lifted some of the foreign exchange controls on the Asian rice dollar market ten years ago and planned to establish a very attractive offshore financial system for Singapore."
