"Bob, you've been the Secretary of Defense for too long. You've been soaked in too many conspiracy theories.
Even primary school students who have just started their biology class know that a monster that's 596 meters long and 79 meters wide that can fly in the clouds like a space shuttle can't possibly be a biological weapon cultivated by humans in a laboratory. "
"It can't be 'humans', you're saying …"
"I'm saying that America is still too young. We've always been vaguely aware of the existence of those unusual creatures and pretended not to see them. Seems like we can't do that anymore in the future.
It's a good thing that Area 51's research … "
"Don't mention that word on the phone, not even on an encrypted phone. We all know that's the iron rule!"
"Everyone in the world knows about the existence of America's Area 51 but you always like to lie to yourself …"
"Henry T. Grace!"
"Alright, alright, I'll shut up."
There was a moment of silence on the phone. After a long time, "Henry, where are you?"
"I'm breathing fresh air by the river in Arlington and I've shared lunch with a water bird …"
"You're in Arlington? What the hell? Stop talking nonsense, old fart. Come to me right now, right now!"
"But it's the lunch break now …"
"The president is waiting for a written report from the Secretary of Defense. Come to me right now!" The voice on the phone was almost roaring.
"Alright, alright. Since I came to Arlington to see you anyway, it's fine to be early. Wait for me." The old man hung up the phone while mumbling. He carried his old bag and walked slowly from the river to the roadside. He climbed into an old Ford car and drove to a pentagonal building that was surrounded by trees far away after starting the car.
At the same time when America's chief defense advisor was driving to meet the Secretary of Defense, Zhang Lisheng was standing on the lawn of Lowbige Junior High's open campus, looking around.
On the street less than 50 meters away from him, an army armor and a police car with flashing siren lights were patrolling back and forth in broad daylight.
Meanwhile, the students around him were discussing loudly. "Have you guys heard? The aircraft carrier Eagle is already patrolling the waters near New York. There are also a few destroyers and frigates. Seems like the monster that attacked Queens Harbor is in trouble."
"Nuclear submarines too. My brother is serving in the navy. He secretly told me that at least three nuclear submarines have entered New York's Caspian Sea but they're not fighting any monster. They're salvaging the alien's UFO."
"Oh sh * t, you're saying that monster with a big mouth is an alien's UFO?
Are you out of your mind? "
"Have you seen what a UFO looks like? Besides, the pictures on the internet are so blurry, and some of them have been altered …"
Zhang Lisheng smiled wryly as he muttered to himself, "Aircraft carriers, large destroyers, and nuclear submarines … When he heard and witnessed the attack on the New York Harbor, the national machinery of the United States immediately made a strong response.
Looks like the decision to attack Queens Harbor was too hasty. America isn't Tatetutu after all, it's better for me to behave myself these few days … "
He saw a familiar SUV parked at the side of the road outside of Lowbige Junior High as he was speaking.
The car door opened, and a youthful and charming blonde in a pair of nude high heels walked out of the car with a handbag in one hand and a phone in the other.
At the same time, the phone in Zhang Lisheng's pocket made a ringing sound.
Zhang Lisheng ignored the phone. He stepped on the green grass and walked towards the girl.
The phone rang for a long time, but it was not picked up. Just when the girl was about to replay the call, she saw Zhang Lisheng walking towards her. Surprised, she quickly walked up and gave him a hug. "Lisheng, I finally get to see you."
"It's been a while, Tina. Looks like you've woken up from your hangover."
"Don't be so mean as soon as we meet, Lisheng. I've prepared a big gift for you," Tina took out a document from her handbag as if she was asking for credit.
It was a loan guarantee contract with a sum of three million dollars. The guarantor had already signed it, and the name on it was Dolby Douglin.
Dolby Douglin was Tina's father. Tina had spent a lot of effort to get this document from her father when she was grounded to repay Zhang Lisheng.
After paying the repayment, Mr. Douglin who was grateful at first thought his daughter's strong request must have been instigated by the young man. He lost interest in the young man whom he had never met before.
However, Old Priest Greenia's opinion was not important to Zhang Lisheng at all. Since it was not a gift but a guarantee, with the profit of LS Slaughterhouse being enough to pay the loan interest, the young man who thought his help was worth Tina's surprise did not reject it pretentiously and accepted everything in a relaxed manner.
"I need money to expand the slaughterhouse, thank you.
Oh yeah Tina, didn't you write me a proposal before we went to Amazon? Give it to me, "Zhang Lisheng said after folding the loan guarantee contract and putting it into his backpack.
"I have a new plan for your slaughterhouse. I've been doing nothing during the three weeks that I've been grounded, so I've been thinking about how to make your business have unlimited potential. I've finally come to a conclusion.
Let's talk about it during lunch. "
"It's lunch break now, there's less than an hour left …"
Tina seemed to be used to Zhang Lisheng's rational attitude, so she pulled his arm directly. "Let's go, Lisheng. This is related to your career. Think about it, which one is more important compared to your two classes in the afternoon?"
As expected, Zhang Lisheng did not say anything and let Tina pull him into the car.
Tina asked while smiling when the SUV started moving, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine. Oh yeah Tina, didn't you say Sheila regained her consciousness the night before yesterday? How is she now?"
"Sheila's fine now, the doctor estimated she can be discharged after a week of brain recovery training. The only thing she's worried about after that is how to lose weight and regain her figure."
"How about Shittu and Walter?"
"Their condition is much worse than Sheila's. According to their doctor, due to the differences between men and women's nerve tolerance and people's individual differences, the same neurotoxin has a huge impact on the three of them.
Although Shittu and Walter regained their consciousness, it's obvious that their intelligence is damaged, especially Walter, he's still stuttering when he speaks, his memory is … "
"Which means Walter has become half an idiot while Shittu has become half an idiot."
"Lisheng, don't say that … But the truth is similar to what you said.
Shittu's fine, the Morgan family will definitely give him the best treatment. I heard they're going to Switzerland for intensive treatment soon, Walter … "
"Doesn't Trish plan to care about him anymore?"
"Of course not, but Trish's ability is limited after all. Her father, Mr. Howick, hates Walter for bringing Trish to the Amazon for an adventure."
"Walter bringing Trish to the Amazon for an adventure, can you turn black into white?"
"That's right Lisheng, that's how Mr. Howick interpreted our Amazon trip this time.
Walter is a poisonous snake with ulterior motives who lured his daughter to eat the forbidden fruit.
Sheila, Shittu and I are kind people who are loyal to our friendship and go through thick and thin with our friends.
Meanwhile, you're the savior sent by God to save us. "
"That sounds fair too," Zhang Lisheng corrected himself.
"Of course it's fair to you but it's unfair to Walter. But fate is unfair, who can care that much?"
"It's not like you to say something like that."
"Oh baby, we got to know each other because you saved my life. Besides that, you've always been very 'clean' with me, so the 'me' that you see is actually different from the usual 'me'.
Speaking of which, I'm also a member of the Douglin family. If the north didn't lose the Civil War over 100 years ago, I might be the biggest female slave owner in America now. "
"Two things. First, don't call me baby, it's enough for my mom to call me that.
Second, you dared to go deep into the jungle when you didn't even know a leopard. You're acting all high and mighty now, it'll only make me laugh. "
Tina was stunned hearing what Zhang Lisheng said. She had an angry expression on her face but she dared not say anything. All she could do was imagine the young man next to her stepping on the accelerator with his toes.
After speeding up all of a sudden, the SUV soon stopped in front of an artsy restaurant on New York's 74th Avenue.
Zhang Lisheng looked at the exterior wall of the restaurant that had 'Herbivore' written on the signboard outside the window. There were beige, black, dark green, elliptical, triangular, oblique quadrilateral windows and so on. He asked, "Tina, is this an avant-garde art gallery or a restaurant?"
"Of course it's a restaurant. The vegetarian dishes here are great, you'll know once you try," Tina got off the car as she spoke. Zhang Lisheng could only get off the car and walk into the restaurant with her.
The restaurant was huge, the tables and chairs inside were oddly shaped. It was hard to imagine that there would be so many diners lining up in the hall in such a place.
However, Tina did not have to wait. She walked to the front desk and said something to the waitress. Zhang Lisheng and Zhang Lisheng got a double seat by the window right away.
The glass looked colorful from the outside but it was clean from the inside. When the waitress brought them the menu, Zhang Lisheng said casually while looking at the people who were rushing outside the window, "You're familiar with this restaurant so help me order, Ms. Privilege."
"The privilege of not having to line up in a good restaurant is my basic treatment as a fashionable socialite. I'm eating at a restaurant and the restaurant becomes famous because of me. It's a win-win situation." Tina said while pouting, "Two truffle stew, forest mushroom soup, vegetable and fruit salad platter and taro scones for dessert."
"Please wait for a moment, Ms. Tina," The waitress nodded and walked away politely.
