There was a saying abroad, "Where there are Huaxia people, there must be a Chinatown and a Chinese restaurant."
Of course, this sentence was not 100% correct, but it was quite realistic. The history of Huaxia people migrating to Western countries could be traced back to thousands of years ago. Five or six hundred years ago, there was a large-scale immigration phenomenon because of war and famine.
In modern times, for various reasons, many Huaxia people also chose to live and develop abroad, and the national characteristics made them choose to live in groups, and then there were Chinatowns all over the world.
What could be seen most in Chinatowns were all kinds of Chinese restaurants.
The place where Zhang Yaoming asked Zuo Yi to meet was the Longfeng Teahouse in West St. George's Chinatown, a large Cantonese restaurant.
The Lamborghini steadily stopped at the entrance of the teahouse. Zuo Yi got out of the car and threw the car keys to the valet. Carrying the backpack with Teck, he stepped into the teahouse with Huaxia characteristics.
Although it was afternoon, the business in the teahouse was still very good. There were many guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, most of whom were foreign tourists tasting afternoon tea.
St. George was a famous tourist destination, receiving tens of millions of foreign tourists a year. The West St. George's Chinatown, which had hundreds of years of history, was also one of the tourist attractions here.
It was worth mentioning that Chinatown was adjacent to Pablo, or even the world's largest slum!
"Hello, how many people are there?"
A waiter from the teahouse came up and asked Zuo Yi in standard Mandarin with a smile on his face.
He just saw Zuo Yi get out of the supercar, so his attitude was very polite.
"I have an appointment."
Zuo Yi said, "Zhang Yaoming."
Zhang Yaoming had said on the phone that he should say his name when he arrived.
"Mr. Zhang is on the third floor."
The teahouse waiter was even more respectful, "Please come with me."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Zuo Yi came to a private room on the third floor of the teahouse.
There were four people sitting in the room, an old man with white hair and a red face, a square-faced man in a suit, a beautiful woman in a long dress, and a haggard middle-aged man.
Zuo Yi's eyes fell on the middle-aged man first, "Mr. Zhang?"
"Ah."
The absent-minded middle-aged man came to his senses. He stood up and asked, "Mr. Zuo?"
"I'm Zuo Yi."
Zuo Yi extended his hand to him. "Hello."
"Hello."
Zhang Yaoming shook hands with Zuo Yi and said, "Please take a seat."
After Zuo Yi took his seat, he introduced them to Zuo Yi. "This is President Chen of our Chinatown Self-Governing Association. This is Detective Tang of the Western District Police Station. This is Miss Sun of Huaixia Hall."
"Hello."
Zuo Yi nodded and greeted them one by one, then asked, "How's the situation now?"
"Very troublesome."
Zhang Yaoming sighed, "Yun Xi's parents were kidnapped. The kidnapper called me this morning. I was afraid that Yun Xi would be worried, so I didn't tell her the news for the time being."
Kidnapping?
Zuo Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
If she was kidnapped, then she was probably still alive. Otherwise, the kidnappers wouldn't have called.
He asked, "What requests does the other party have?"
"The other party …"
Zhang Yaoming had just said two words when he was interrupted by the square-faced man, Detective Tang, "This case is very important. Mr. Zuo, I'm afraid it's not convenient to disclose some things to you. Please understand."
He looked at Zuo Yi with vigilance.
Detective Tang's vigilance was reasonable. Zuo Yi was a complete stranger to them. He couldn't help but suspect Zuo Yi's purpose when he suddenly came to participate in the kidnapping.
Although Zhang Yaoming had just introduced Zuo Yi's identity, Gu Yun Xi's friend was obviously not trustworthy.
"I just came from the country."
Zuo Yi was very clear about his thoughts. He took out his ID and handed it to him.
"Just came from the country?"
Zhang Yaoming showed a look of disbelief. "How is it possible!"
The distance from the country to Saint George was thousands of miles. It would take more than a day to take a commercial airliner. The kidnapping happened less than 24 hours ago. Did Zuo Yi come here on a rocket?
Detective Tang looked at Zuo Yi's ID with a sullen face and was stunned. "Chief Consultant of Jiangnan Extraordinary Affairs Administration?"
The beautiful lady sitting next to him heard this and stared at Zuo Yi. She asked, "You're an Extraordinary?"
Zuo Yi glanced at her. He raised his right index finger and gently tapped the teacup in front of him.
The porcelain teacup instantly turned into powder. The steaming hot tea in the cup didn't move at all. It was restrained by an invisible force and not a single drop spilled out!
Zuo Yi opened his palm and held the cup of hot tea. He raised it and poured it into his mouth.
Zhang Yaoming and Detective Tang were dumbfounded. The beautiful lady, Miss Sun from Huaixia Hall also widened her eyes.
She could also shatter a teacup, but what Zuo Yi did just now was not as simple as shattering a teacup. The ability he showed was beyond her imagination.
But one thing was for sure, Zuo Yi was definitely a superhuman who had hidden his strength!
"Sorry for the disrespect."
Detective Tang's attitude immediately became more polite. He returned the ID to Zuo Yi.
Since he was scared, Zhang Yaoming didn't bother about how Zuo Yi came here. He told Zuo Yi everything he knew.
A few years ago, Gu Yun Xi's parents, Gu Kai and Zhang Wei, came to Saint George to seek refuge from Zhang Yaoming. With his help, they opened a small supermarket and settled down in Chinatown.
The supermarket's business was pretty good. The two of them led a stable life. Other than missing Gu Yun Xi, there were no other problems.
A few days ago, Gu Kai and Zhang Wei received a call from Gu Yun Xi. The two of them happily discussed with Zhang Yaoming and decided to sell the supermarket and their house and return to China.
Zhang Yaoming was also happy for them and helped to contact the buyer.
But he didn't expect that just yesterday afternoon, the house that Gu Kai and Zhang Wei lived in burned down. The two of them also lost contact.
Zhang Yaoming hurriedly called the police and reported to the Chinatown self-management committee.
Currently, the results of the investigation by the Western District Police Station and the self-management committee showed that Gu Kai and Zhang Wei were kidnapped in their own shop. The supermarket's surveillance camera recorded the whole process.
The kidnappers were very arrogant. They didn't hide their identities.
These kidnappers belonged to a local gang – Hellfire.
The Saint George slum area that was adjacent to Chinatown was more than ten square kilometers. It gathered nearly two million poor people in the city. It had always been the biggest cancer in Saint George.
There were hundreds of gangs in the Saint George slum. Their criminal activities were rampant. The powerful gangs had fierce martial arts and dared to fight against the police and even the army.
Hellfire was one of the most powerful gangs in the Saint George slum!
