In the evening, when we returned to the Fischer’s mansion, the night had fallen.
Grandpa is waiting in the yard patiently.
When he saw Grandma coming back, the worries on his face were swept away.
Grandma said, “Don, why did you come out?”
Grandpa is very proud. “Can’t I get some air?”
“Of course you can.” Grandma grinned, and walked with him into the house. “You already had some air, so we’ll go inside and have a rest.”
Grandpa turned to follow and said, “Why did you come back so late?”
“I went to listen to the talk about Buddha in the afternoon, so we went back a little late. Let the maids prepare dinner. We are all hungry.”
Grandpa immediately waved his hand to the nearest servant. “Go and get the table ready for dinner.”
When I saw this scene behind Cheney, I felt a little envious again.
It’s my greatest honor to witness such love.
Cheney looked back at me. “Do you think the old couple are bored?”
I smiled, “No, I think they were particularly good for each other. That kind of love is probably the love that all women look forward to the most. Anyway, I am very envious.”
“Women like that kind of love?”
I shook my head and sighed, “What women like is not the money of the man which she could spend for the rest of her life, but a man who only cares about her for a lifetime.”
After I finished my sentence, I followed the couple into the house.
I was going to play stickers with Afra after dinner, but Afra has a dance class and can’t play.
After Afra left, I went back to the Jade Court with Cheney.
After watching TV for a few minutes, I hesitated for a moment, took out a small red silk bag from my bag and pushed it over the coffee table to Cheney.
“Here you go.”
He opened the bag, pulled out a small button-like pendant with a spell-like carving, and looked at me wondering, “What is this?”
I scratched my eyebrows. “Well, this is a talisman that I got without spending money. I asked for it and gave it to you.”
“Amulet?” He couldn’t help laughing. “This is the first time you have given me a gift.”
After saying that, he put the amulet directly around his neck.
“How about, will you ride with me?”
I looked at him, somewhat speechless, “This is something that didn’t cost a penny. Do you think it can be built?”
“Sincerity is more precious than anything else.”
He got up and went to the mirror to take a picture, and hooked his lips. “Not bad.”
When I looked at him, I couldn’t help but hook my lips. I thought he would be disgusted.
I even thought about what to say when he disliked it, but he liked it.
That man was really a man I could not figure out.
At noon the next day, when I was about to go to lunch with Otto, I received a phone call from Lockie. “Girl, that Luke that you asked me to investigate, that man is very lecherous and really not a gentleman. You must be careful when dealing with him.”
“I know. Tell me what you have found.” I walked aside with my mobile phone.
Lockie said, “This man has been working for Brent since six years ago. All the projects Brent has received over the years have the participation of Luke. It is very important for you to get this Luke person to your side or beat him.”
I nodded. “I know, but now, I have no place to start.”
“Have you ever heard of the Lotus Club?”
I thought, “Isn’t that a pastime for men?”
“Luke’s ex-wife, Fay is the owner of the Lotus Club, which is actually a brothel. When she and Luke first got together, Luke was inseparable from her, and she also did a lot of things for Luke. As a result, Luke developed, climbed to Brent, despised Fay, divorced her and married a younger wife. I heard that the woman hates Luke and her teeth are itching to bite him. I think this woman must have a lot of Luke’s material in her hand. The point is, how can we approach her without startling her? ”
I stood beside the tin house, scratching my eyebrows with my fingers. “There will always be a way.” I said.
“By the way, let me tell you, I will return home next month.”
“Well, when you come back, I will welcome you.”
After lunch, I said hello to Otto and went back to the RV to rest.
Sitting on the seat, my mind was thinking about how to get close to Fay.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that if nothing is ventured, nothing is gained.
Pulling out my cell phone, I called Cheney and told him that I had an appointment with Echo for dinner today, so I had to go back later. He didn’t agree until I promised to be back at 9 pm.
I left the site after I got off work in the afternoon.
I was already driving so I went to Echo’s house to pick her up.
As soon as Echo got in the car, she went straight to the point. “I collected information about the Lotus Club all afternoon. After the two of us went in, don’t go to the second floor yet, just stay in the bar on the first floor, which is the place with the largest amount of information. More importantly, the second floor is not open to women.”
“Okay.”
Because Echo lived a little far away, it was already seven o’clock when we came to the club.
When I entered the bar, Echo took me directly to the bar and ordered a glass of wine and juice.
The juice is for me because I have to drive.
The bar is a mess, dancing, flirting, and the stereo is loud.
I really don’t like this environment, but Echo seems to have become accustomed to it.
She asked me to wait at my seat and went to help me find out the news.
But it’s almost 7:40 pm, and Echo hasn’t come back yet.
I got up to look for her. As soon as I turned into the corridor, I heard Echo’s angry shouts. “If you won’t let go, I will make sure that you will regret touching me.”
Looking forward, I saw a man in his thirties, shaking before and after drinking, pulling Echo’s wrist.
“I have plenty of money. Tell me how much you want for one night.”
Next to her stood a woman in her early twenties. The woman wore a tube-top miniskirt and heavy makeup. She said to Echo, “This girl, don’t be ignorant. You are not young. It is a blessing to have someone take a fancy to you.”
“Are you sick?” Echo glared at her. “Hurry and pull him away from me, or you will definitely regret talking to me.”
The young woman didn’t move. Seeing that the man tried to pull Echo into his arms, I quickly stepped forward, raised my foot without hesitation, and kicked the old man in the stomach.
He fell to the ground and saw me. He staggered up and raised his hand to hit me.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared behind me and grabbed the drunk’s arm.
I looked back and it was Rashad.
He threw the drunk man away, stepped forward and gave the man a hard foot kick, which hit the man’s chest.
The man fell to the ground with a splash. I just listened to the sound and felt that it would not be too light.
The man was really drunk and confused, covering his chest and shouting “Where did you come from?”
