[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 39

Hearing what the bodyguard said, Rose also felt that she had taken it for granted.So he said: "Then you two go in with me, Carter and Jenny stay." Tracy was left in the hotel by Rose.So this will be the court where the four of them accompanied Rose.

Carter and Jenny have no problem.The other two bodyguards did not make further comments.But the two Jinlongmen subordinates at the door curled their lips in disdain.

If they really want to do something to this foreign girl, can only two bodyguards stop them?

"Miss, please come inside. Mr. Li is still waiting." Knowing that Rose could speak Chinese, the man didn't bother to speak English to them, so he spoke directly in Chinese.As for whether other people can understand, what does it matter to him?If you don't understand Chinese language, but ran to the territory of Chinese people, you deserve it!

"Okay, please lead the way." Rose said kindly.When she was a child, she had seen Shanghai Bund, Young and Dangerous, etc., and she especially liked those people and things related to gangs.It's a pity that none of their gangs can get a business license.

Looking at the smiling Rose, the man touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.Taking a step sideways, he led the way in front of Rose's right.

Rose looked around while following the man's footsteps.The layout inside the Golden Dragon Gate has Chinese characteristics.These features were all seen in some scenic spots when Rose traveled in her previous life.

At that time, there was a lot of voices.Take pictures, record videos.But proof of travel.But at this time, seeing all this again, Rose really felt the precipitation of history.

In China's 5000 years, after discarding its dross and extracting its essence, there are still many things that other countries can't match.

The sound of walking shoes, leather shoes, and the sound of Rose's high-heeled shoes echoed in the somewhat dark corridor, and the early summer afternoon sunlight scattered on the ground and walls through the windows made of small pieces of glass.It adds a bit of weirdness and depth to this mysterious small building.

Walking on the wooden floor, many times, you will feel a kind of history, a trace of time.The corridor was not long, but it made Rose think of a lot.

In a trance, Rose thought of many novels she had read before, in which the protagonists walked to another time and space.Rose looked up at the road ahead, wondering if she would just go back to the past, no, back to the future, the time and space that belonged to her.

At that time, she walked out of the corridor, whether she would appear in a tourist attraction in a small southern town, or in the headquarters of Jinlongmen in the modern United States.If she returns to the small town in the south, it's okay to say that she can call her family to pick her up.As for the phone bill, she looked down at the clothes and jewelry on her body, she could sell them to jewelry stores.These are jewels of the highest quality and fetch good money.

No, no.If she went back like this, her old lady would never recognize her with this foreigner's appearance.Also, she looks like this, she hasn't got the procedures for being in the mirror yet, her ID card.Maybe he will be caught as a spy.

Likewise, in modern America, she doesn't seem much better off.

Why are they all the protagonists of the novel? She doesn't have the domineering sideways of others, and she doesn't have to think about these trivial things when doing anything.Or is it just because she is a small person that she can only think about these small things?

If there is a chance for her to return to her own time and space, will she turn around and leave or stay.Knowing that the ship will sink and knowing the direction of history, do you just walk away?Yes, she will leave, because there is no her in this history.Some are irresponsible, but she is the most real.

The reason why she came here today is just because she can't do what she can after going back to the past.

Yes, just because of the means.If she didn't do anything when she came here, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself.Obviously, she can do something, can't she?

No matter how long the corridor is, there will be an end.So while Rose was thinking wildly, the doorman stopped at the door of a room.Knocked on the door a few times.After hearing the voice asking to come in, he said to Rose: "Miss, you've arrived. Master Li is inside, go in by yourself."

Rose took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

Following the door that was pushed open, Rose lifted her foot and walked in.The bodyguard behind him was stopped.

"What?" the bodyguard asked nervously.

"Master Li only saw this young lady." Rose turned around and heard the Huaxia man say this.

"Get out of the way." The bodyguard said nothing to let his employer out of his sight.

"You, you, must stay here." The Huaxia man revealed the short knife pinned to his waist, and did not back down.

The bodyguards also took out their pistols and confronted the people from Jinlongmen.

It has already entered here, even if it is dangerous, it is estimated that it will not run away.Along the way, there are guards at the corners.If they can't get in, it doesn't matter much.

And even if something really happened inside, if you think about it, as long as you yell loudly, they can hear it.

"In that case, you can stay here."

"But miss," the bodyguard shouted anxiously.That's not what I said at the beginning.What were they going to pay Mr Hockley for if anything happened to it.

"If there is anything, I will call you loudly." Rose could only comfort them in this way.

Although the bodyguards are not reconciled, but the facts are better than people.Rose finally nodded to them, then lifted her skirt and walked inside.

The room was not too big, probably only half the size of Rose's bedroom in Hockley's old house.The furnishings inside are very traditional, such as Luohan couch, Taishi chair, and a tall copper candlestick in the corner beside it.

Seeing the Chinese characteristics of this room, Rose wondered how these things appeared here.Did she travel across the ocean with people, or, like her, have a carpenter who specializes in making these furniture.

At a glance, Rose didn't care.He just looked at the man who hadn't said a word since he came in.The man's hair has turned gray.The complexion is very good, looks very energetic.

Old tobacco rods, soil tobacco.The man was filling the end of the pipe with earth tobacco bit by bit.

"Sit down." The man said to Rose before putting the cigarette holder in his mouth.

Rose saw and listened.I don't mind either.Smiling and sitting on the first grand master chair on the left.

Seeing the seat Rose chose, the man just raised his eyebrows.But that's all.Picking up the matchbox on the side, he slowly pulled out one, and stroked the side of the matchbox lightly.

Orange flames, flickering.Finally stopped at the pipe.

A puff of smoke came out, blurring Rose's vision.A little choking, it really made Rose feel a kind of reality.

If there is another fire pit, a cat will sleep on it.There is a group of people around the pit watching TV or knitting sweaters.Is it really going back to the past?

Master Li finished smoking his pipe, then raised his head slowly and looked at the foreign woman who had been in a daze since she sat down.

It's too early to call it a woman.Judging by her appearance, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old.It's just that such a young girl actually found them at the Golden Dragon Gate.

When he received the greeting card, Master Li smiled and sent someone to investigate.An English woman who arrived in the United States in late April.I heard it was a British lady.highly educated.Such a person would actually find the Golden Dragon Gate.Why can't Master Li be curious.

According to the investigation, she has a close relationship with several Chinese students studying in the UK. Is it because of this?Forget it, a little girl, if there is anything important to do, hurry up and get rid of it. He still has a lot of things to do.

"You are Miss Bukett. Before your people came to Jinlongmen, they said they had a business with us. What kind of business is it? Tell me and listen."

Regarding Master Li's contemptuous attitude, Rose took a look at the perfectly white hair, and didn't mind anything.Say it directly.

"When I was in England, I heard that there are many masters in the Golden Dragon Gate in the United States. I don't know if it is true?"

Master Li nodded, "That's right. Everyone in our Golden Dragon Gate has martial arts skills." This statement is actually watery, but Master Li doesn't think it is necessary to tell a foreign woman the truth.

"You always have so-called martial arts, is it for self-defense or for fighting against the outside world?" Rose asked.

Master Li knocked his pipe on the edge of the chair, looked at Rose in front of him and said, "Miss Bucket, you speak Chinese very well, but let's talk about your reason for coming. I have limited time."

There are not a hundred or eighty things in the hall for a day, but there are thirty or fifty things. Who has the spare time to spend time with a little girl to practice her skills here.

Ah!It's really foreign work.

"Since that's the case, let me just say it straight. I want to hire two people and go to Huaxia to protect one person. I don't know if you can accept such a business from Jinlongmen, but don't worry, your hall, the price is easy to negotiate."

Master Li rolled his eyes and asked, "Protectors are no problem for our Golden Dragon Gate. But who is it? Where is it? If it crosses a region, the fee will be calculated separately."

"A Chinese man, Liu Yunfu."

Master Li stood up suddenly and asked, "Who?"

Rose looked at Master Li who was standing up, but she didn't get up, she was still sitting there, and said in Chinese dialect: "Huaxia Liu Yunfu".

Master Li squinted at the British girl in front of him, his heart was spinning rapidly.

"With the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between Miss and Mr. Liu? Why do you hire bodyguards for Mr. Liu?"

Although Mr. Liu's name is not as good as that of Mr. Shan.But no one in the Golden Dragon Gate knows.This foreign woman who appeared out of nowhere actually hired bodyguards for Mr. Liu.What is the inside story of this matter, Mr. Li was thinking in his heart.

Rose raised her head slightly, and said with a smile, "What's the relationship? It's not important. You have limited time, so let's talk about this business. Besides, I just want to know this business, will you Jinlongmen accept it?"

Didn't you say that time is limited? Rose cautiously took Master Li's own words and put him in the army.

"Why did you find us at the Golden Dragon Gate?" Is there some conspiracy?The United States has long regarded their Golden Dragon Gate as distasteful, and the American gangsters have always wanted to annex the Golden Dragon Gate.It's really suspicious to come to the door suddenly at this time.

A British girl ran to the border of the United States and hired bodyguards to protect a Chinese.No matter how you look at it, there are problems.At least Master Li has already thought of several conspiracies in his mind.Even the black hands behind him reminded him of three or five.

"It is more convenient for Huaxia's bodyguards to go back to China to protect Chinese people than Westerners. I am only responsible for paying the money. As for how you protect him or who you send to protect him, I will not interfere."

After Rose finished speaking, seeing that Mr. Li didn't speak, she went on to say: "Someone wants to kill him. So I want to protect him. That's it. Do you accept this business or not?"

"Who is going to kill Mr. Liu?" The recent domestic affairs have not been reported.Is what this girl said is true?Mr. Liu is so dangerous, so is Mr. Shan even more dangerous?

"No comment." Rose shrugged.

"Then why did the lady save him? As far as I know, this is the first time that the lady has gone abroad so far. And Mr. Liu seems to have no contact with the lady."

Rose thought for a while and said, "I didn't want to save him. I just prevented him from being killed. Oh, you may not know that his wife was shot dead in front of the house a few days ago."

Master Li looked at Rose sternly, and how did she know these things.And he wanted her to tell who was behind the murder.

Rose leaned to one side, and said indifferently: "Don't scare me, I will be scared." She didn't kill the person, so why look at her with that kind of eyes?

"..." Master Li is also old and has weathered the storm.It's just that I was a little overwhelmed by what this foreign girl said just now.

After a long while, the mind is at peace.Glancing at Rose, he asked, "We at Jinlongmen have no problem with this business. I just don't know what price Miss Bukett is going to offer? You must know that you get what you pay for. The price really depends on who you are going to buy." People from Huaxia."

"How much is expensive, how much is ordinary, how much is inferior?" Rose rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something.He asked Master Li with a smile.

Master Li thought about it, and then said: "If there are two people, the expensive one is [-] pounds a year. The ordinary ones are [-] pounds, and the second-class ones are [-] pounds."

"Oh, is there any cheaper one?" Rose looked at Master Li and asked.

"...Five thousand and one year." Master Li gritted his teeth and announced a number, very annoyed at his unsteadiness just now.

"Then it will take five thousand years." Rose happily placed the order.

"Five thousand and ten thousand, we don't guarantee the result."

"That's okay, I'm just doing my best to obey the destiny. Anyway, I don't know anyone who died."

Rose saw the expression of Master Li just now.If she knew that someone was going to kill Liu Yunfu, presumably she didn't spend money to hire them, and the people from Jinlongmen would send someone to protect her.And it must be a good player.

The money is actually no different from what was given to them for nothing.

......

Mr. Lee is a cheerful person, and Rose is also a cheerful person.Signed the contract on the spot and paid the check.And Master Li also promised that their people would take the latest tanker to Huaxia to complete the task that Rose entrusted to them.

From then on, Huaxia's revolutionaries bid farewell to the fate of Yaoshou.And the revolutionary storm he brought lasted for half a century.

The biggest goal of coming to San Francisco was accomplished, but Rose still stood there motionless.She had thought of other things before, but after the death of Liu's wife Mei, Rose was a little uncertain.

It is said that what is unexpected is not to be imposed on others.When she was sick a few days ago, she also thought about the things she did, especially about Fusang.To be honest, it's a bit too dark.

Fusang people and Huaxia people are vulnerable groups in Europe.It is not easy to live in another city away from home.Let alone in a foreign country.It's not easy people, easy things.

Is it just out of anger at a war that has not yet broken out?

Rose knew in her heart that it was more than that.She's just jealous.

Why are they all Asians? Fusang people can step on everyone.

Why is it that they are all the same foreigners seeking to survive, but China has to be so unfairly discriminated against?

It's just that there is too little she can do.What they did was to drag Fusang people into hell together.But those honest Fusang people are so innocent.What is the difference between her indiscriminate and indiscriminate attacks and the group of people she once hated and despised.

It's just that war has never been about one person, or one family.Many things are powerless.

And many times, we can only choose this way, because there are far and near, because we continue to survive.

I remember seeing a report before that the start-up funds for Fusang’s first war against China were all accumulated by Fusang people, both at home and abroad.

When she read this report, Rose hated all the Fusang people.It turned out that the blood was so filthy inside that well-mannered and thoughtful appearance.

Just when Rose was sharpening her knife and preparing to cheat Fusang people, a cruise ship sailing into Fusang from Huaxia also arrived at the port at this time.
