Lin Huayin's bath speed was as fast as her work efficiency, and Lin Xiaozhu was half a beat slower. When Xiao Zheng waited for the two women to finish bathing, he couldn't wait to come to the dining room and wolfed down the food. The two women were also hungry and tired, and the meal was particularly delicious. In the end, the three of them also ate a fruit plate. It could be said that they were physically and mentally satisfied and very comfortable.
Xiao Zheng took two puffs of the electronic cigarette and said, "Where are we going to play tomorrow?"
Lin Xiaozhu snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "I have arranged a lot of programs, but I am afraid that your physical strength can't keep up."
Xiao Zheng saw Lin Huayin's expression was slightly subtle, and took the initiative to help her out, "Going out to play every day can't stand it. Let your sister rest for a day. "
Lin Xiaozhu complained, "It's only been a day, and you can't do it?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Anyway, there are seven days, and you don't have to risk your life to play. Besides, there are only those places worth visiting in New York. Seven days is enough. "
"That's true. Brother-in-law, you often come here on business trips, and my sister simply worked on Wall Street. Naturally, she is very familiar with New York. "Lin Xiaozhu said. "Then why don't we take a break tomorrow and go to Happy the day after tomorrow?"
"That's what I mean." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded, and looked back at Lin Huayin. "Look, isn't your sister getting more and more sensible."
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said, "You can go play together, don't worry about me."
"How can that be? We are a team. We must act together. "Xiao Zheng retorted. "I can't leave you hanging, can I?"
Lin Huayin didn't say much when she heard this, and said with some tiredness, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to rest first. If you have any arrangements at night, you are free to do it. "
After that, she got up and walked back to the bedroom.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Lin Xiaozhu and asked, "Xiaozhu, do you have any arrangements at night?"
"As long as you are interested, I can guarantee that you will be happy until dawn." Lin Xiaozhu smiled.
"I have some personal matters to attend to. Why don't you rest early too? "Xiao Zheng said.
"Private matter?" Lin Xiaozhu was shocked and lowered his voice. "Brother-in-law, don't tell me you're going out for a tryst? If my sister finds out, you're done for! "
"Nonsense," Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "It's to meet a colleague."
"Male or female?" Lin Xiaozhu gossiped.
"Work partners are either male or female," Xiao Zheng explained.
"Then it must be a woman." Lin Xiaozhu said meaningfully. Then, he slowly got up and patted Xiao Zheng on the shoulder. "Brother-in-law. Don't say I didn't warn you. My sister is no rookie in New York. He has a lot of connections. "
Watching Lin Xiaozhu go out, Xiao Zheng touched his chin and muttered, "This damn girl is so open now. It's completely different from how I used to fly into a rage whenever a woman approached me. "
Shaking his head, Xiao Zheng texted Ruth back: I'll be there in half an hour.
After getting in the taxi, Xiao Zheng took a few puffs of the electronic cigarette, his mind filled with thoughts.
Was it difficult for Sophia?
What was difficult?
Was it another threat from Itō?
This was New York. No matter how capable Itō was, it would be difficult for him to threaten Sophia, who was the local bully in New York.
After eliminating the possibility of Itō, Xiao Zheng became more and more confused.
He shook his head. Xiao Zheng didn't want to spend too much energy thinking about questions that he couldn't get an accurate answer to. When he went to Sophia's house and asked her personally, everything would come to light.
Since the last trip to Tokyo, Xiao Zheng hadn't seen Sophia for months. Even if they occasionally contacted each other, it was mostly to ask about her condition. He really didn't expect to be tracked by Little Ruth when he first arrived in New York. She even made a request for help.
According to Sophia's style, if she needed his help, she would usually take the initiative to help. Why did she let Little Ruth contact him this time?
Did the sun rise from the west?
Or did her temperament really change as Little Ruth said after the incident in Tokyo?
After half an hour's journey, Xiao Zheng finally arrived in front of the villa. The lights were as bright as ever, and the security was as tight as ever. After Xiao Zheng greeted the security guard inside through the electronic eye, he went straight through the gate. He came to the living room of the villa.
As soon as he entered the living room, Ruth and Nika quickly greeted him. His face was filled with joy after not seeing him for a long time, but there was even more anxiety and worry.
"Sir, you finally came," Little Ruth intimately held Xiao Zheng's left arm and said softly. "If you didn't come, we didn't know what to do."
"What happened?" Xiao Zheng's eyes fell on the faces of the two women and asked curiously. "Where's your boss?"
"She has gone upstairs to rest." Nika bit her soft lips and said worriedly. "Miss drank a few bottles of wine and went to bed early."
"I remember she doesn't have the habit of drinking alone." Xiao Zheng frowned and asked. "And didn't the doctor say that drinking will damage her voice?"
"For the past six months, Miss has been unable to speak. In the past two months, there are signs of her breaking the jar. "Nika was distressed. "No matter how we persuade her, she goes her own way and gets drunk all day long."
Xiao Zheng felt pity for her and asked: "I'll go upstairs to see her."
"Sir, wait a moment." Ruth and Nika stopped Xiao Zheng at the same time with a cautious and serious expression.
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Zheng knew what the two women were thinking.
"Not only that, but it's very serious." Little Ruth's eyebrows were full of worry.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"We were threatened." Nika said.
"Threatened?" Xiao Zheng was surprised. "Who dares to threaten you in New York?"
"It's not New York. It's not even North America. "Ruth explained.
"Then who is it?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "Is it really Itō?"
"No." Nika shook her head and said. "No matter how rampant Itō is in Japan, he won't dare to act recklessly in New York."
Xiao Zheng hesitated: "That is …"
"The Skeleton Legion," Ruth said word by word.
Xiao Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you talking about the Skeleton Corps in Africa?"
"Except him. Which mercenary would dare to give their team such a name? "Ruth said helplessly.
"Aren't they in South Africa? Why would they threaten you? "Xiao Zheng was puzzled.
"Because they want to rob our resources in North America." Ruth explained. "In fact, the Skeleton Corps is the biggest group of Fox Hunting in Africa. In recent years, their development has been very rapid, and they have long wanted to encroach on other regions. Previously, the boss tried his best to stop them and gave up the idea. But recently, the boss is addicted to alcohol and doesn't care about anything. This gave the Skeleton Corps the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. "
