Paladin Dad
Chapter 566
There is a saying abroad that there must be Chinatown and Chinese restaurants where there are Chinese people.
Of course, this sentence is not 100% correct, but it is quite realistic. The history of Chinese moving to western countries can be traced back to a thousand years ago. There was a large-scale emigration due to war and famine five or six hundred years ago.
Since modern times, for various reasons, many Chinese people have chosen to live and develop abroad, and the national characteristics have made them choose to live together, resulting in the emergence of Chinatown all over the world.
What you can see most in Chinatown is all kinds of Chinese restaurants.
The place where Zhang Yaoming asked Zuo Yi to meet was the dragon and Phoenix teahouse in Chinatown, Western St. George''s, a Cantonese restaurant.
Lamborghini stopped steadily at the door of the teahouse. Zuo Yi got out of the car and threw the car key to the parking younger brother. Carrying a backpack with Tektronix, he stepped into the teahouse with Chinese characteristics.
Although it was in the afternoon, the business in the teahouse was still very good. There were many guests in the hall on the first floor, most of whom were foreign tourists tasting afternoon tea.
St. George''s is a famous tourist attraction, receiving tens of millions of foreign tourists a year. The Western Chinatown with hundreds of years of history is also one of the tourist attractions here.
It is worth mentioning that adjacent to Chinatown is the largest slum in the world!
"Hello, how many people, please?"
A waiter in the teahouse greeted him and asked Zuo Yi with a smile. He still used very standard Mandarin.
He just saw Zuo Yi running up and down from the super, so his attitude was very polite.
"I have an appointment."
Zuo Yi said, "Zhang YaoMing."
Previously, Zhang Yaoming said on the phone that he would report his name when he arrived.
"Master Zhang is on the third floor."
The waiter in the teahouse was more respectful: "please follow me."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Zuo Yi came to an elegant room on the third floor of the teahouse.
There were four people sitting in the elegant room, an old man with white hair and red face, a square faced man in suits, a beautiful woman in a long skirt, and a haggard middle-aged man.
Zuo Yi''s eyes first fell on the middle-aged man: "Mr. Zhang?"
"Ah."
The absent-minded middle-aged man woke up and asked, "Mr. Zuo?"
"I''m Zuo Yi."
Zuo Yi stretched out his hand to him: "hello."
"Hello."
Zhang Yaoming shook hands with Zuo Yi: "please sit down."
After Zuo Yi took his seat, he introduced Zuo Yi: "this is President Chen of our Chinatown self management committee, this is detective Tang of the western district police station, and this is Miss Sun of huaixia hall."
"Hello."
Zuo Yi nodded one by one, then asked, "how''s the situation now?"
"It''s troublesome."
Zhang Yaoming sighed: "Yunxi''s parents were kidnapped. The kidnappers called me this morning. I was afraid Yunxi was worried, so I didn''t tell her the news for the time being."
kidnap?
Instead, Zuo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if they were kidnapped, there would be a high probability that they would still be alive, otherwise there would be no calls from the kidnappers.
He asked, "what do you want?"
"The other side..."
As soon as Zhang Yaoming said two words, he was interrupted by the square faced man detective Tang: "this case is very important. Mr. Zuo, I''m afraid it''s inconvenient to disclose some things to you. Please understand."
He looked at Xiang Zuoyi with vigilance.
Detective Tang''s vigilance is justified. Zuo Yi is a complete stranger to them. He suddenly runs over to participate in the kidnapping, which makes him have to doubt Zuo Yi''s purpose.
Although Zhang Yaoming has just introduced Zuo Yi''s identity, Gu Yunxi''s friends are obviously not enough to win trust.
"I just came from home."
Zuo Yi is very clear about the other party''s thoughts, takes out his certificate from his arms and hands it to him.
"Just came from home?"
Zhang Yaoming showed an unbelievable look: "how possible!"
It takes more than a day to get on a civil airliner from home to St. George, and the kidnapping has taken less than 24 hours. Did Zuo Yi come here by rocket?
Inspector Tang calmly opened Zuo Yi''s certificate and was stunned: "chief consultant of Jiangnan extraordinary affairs administration?"
The beautiful woman sitting next to him looked at Zuo Yi and asked, "are you an extraordinary person?"
Zuo Yi glanced at her, raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and gently hit the tea cup in front of him.
The porcelain cup instantly turned into powder, and the hot tea in the cup was motionless, bound by an invisible force without spilling half a drop!
Zuo Yi opens his palm, holds the cup-shaped hot tea, raises it and pours it into his mouth.
Zhang Yaoming and detective Tang were stunned. The beautiful woman, Miss Sun of huaixia hall, was also wide eyed.
She can also smash the teacup, but what Zuo Yi has just done is more than smashing the cup. Her ability has exceeded her imagination.
But to be sure, Zuo Yi is definitely a hidden extraordinary!
"Disrespectful."
Detective Tang''s attitude immediately became more polite and returned his certificate to Zuo Yi.
When he counseled, Zhang Yaoming stopped worrying about how Zuo Yi came over and told Zuo Yi exactly what he currently knew.
A few years ago, Gu Yunxi''s parents Gu Kai and Zhang Yun came to St. George''s to go to Zhang YaoMing. With his help, they opened a small supermarket and settled in Chinatown.
The business of the supermarket is pretty good. They live a very stable life. They have no other problems except thinking about Gu Yunxi.
A few days ago, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun received a call from Gu Yunxi. They happily discussed with Zhang Yaoming and decided to sell the supermarket and house and return to China.
Zhang Yaoming was also happy for them and helped contact the buyer.
But it never occurred to me that just yesterday afternoon, the house where Gu Kai and Zhang Yun lived caught fire and burned down, and they lost contact.
Zhang Yaoming hurriedly called the police and reported it to the Chinatown self management committee at the same time.
At present, the investigation results of the Western police station and the self-management Committee show that Gu Kai and Zhang Yun were kidnapped in their own store, and the monitoring of the supermarket recorded the whole process.
The kidnappers were so arrogant that they didn''t hide their identity.
The kidnappers belong to a local gang, hellfire.
The St. George''s slum adjacent to Chinatown covers an area of more than ten square kilometers and gathers nearly two million poor people in the city. It has always been the biggest cancer of St. George.
There are hundreds of gangs in St. George''s slum. Criminal activities are extremely rampant. Powerful gangs have fierce force and dare to confront the police and even the army.
Hellfire is one of the most powerful gangs in the slums of St. George!
