Chapter 142 Italian Chinese Restaurant
"Hey, who is it?" A somewhat annoying voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Helena, it's been a long time since I saw you. Do you still remember who I am?" Chu Ge asked casually.
"Lyon?" The voice on the other end of the phone raised, as if a little surprised and a little surprise.
"Yes, it's me."
"Haha, your voice is weird."
Chu Ge said to himself, but he forgot to change his voice with disguise. He hurriedly changed his disguise into Lyon's appearance, and changed his voice by the way, "Ahem, I haven't woken up just now."
"Well, are you asking me for something?"
"Of course, are you interested in having a meal together?"
"Now? It's only nine o'clock in the morning."
"It's okay tonight, I'm free at any time. How about it, are you free?"
The other end of the phone paused for a moment, "How about 8 p.m.?"
"Then it's decided, what do you want to eat?"
“I know that an Italian restaurant has good Chinese food.”
Chinese food in an Italian restaurant? What the hell is Chu Gexin saying? But he said, "It's just my wish."
In the evening, Chu Ge came to the restaurant mentioned by Helena half an hour in advance - Yuhuayuan Restaurant.
He learned about this restaurant in advance before coming and booked seats for tonight.
There are many Chinese restaurants in the United States. Because Los Angeles is a city where Chinese people gather, the number of Chinese restaurants is even more common.
However, most Chinese restaurants focus on medium and low-end fast food, and family dinners. Yuhuayuan is one of the few more high-end Chinese restaurants, so you need to book in advance.
The origin of this restaurant is quite bizarre. It is said that it was an Italian restaurant at first, but later it was changed for some reason. However, the new owner did not change the original decoration, but just changed the name. In addition to Italian cuisine, it also began to provide Chinese food. It is a strange restaurant that combines Chinese and Western styles.
Sitting in the seat and drinking the tea provided by the restaurant, Chu Ge looked at the exotic decorations around him boredly while waiting for some anticipation.
At about eight o'clock, Helena appeared at the restaurant door on time and walked towards Chu Ge far away.
She was wearing a black evening dress, her blonde hair shining under the light. The close-fitting evening dress made her look extremely graceful, which made Chu Ge feel a little excited. This woman who often exercises is different. Her figure is convex and convex, but she is not as bloated as ordinary European and American women.
"You are so beautiful tonight." Chu Ge got up and pulled out the chair for her.
"Thank you," Helena smiled slightly and sat down in front of Chu Ge. She looked at Chu Ge, "You look a little different, full of energy? Is it my illusion? Or has you encountered something good recently?"
Chu Gexin said, could it be because of Long Yin Gong? This thing is also beautiful, so it should just look more energetic. "Haha, I am of course happy that the beauty can enjoy the light and have dinner with me, but you are right. I have encountered some good things recently and have gained some work. People feel happy when they are happy."
"Then you want to congratulate you."
"Where are you, why do you sound a little angry during the day today?"
Helena sighed, "Because of some things at work, don't talk about these things anymore. By the way, how do you feel about this restaurant?"
Chu Ge was about to answer, but suddenly felt something in his heart. After closing his eyes a little, a small map immediately appeared in his mind. At a location not far from his seat, a golden exclamation mark icon suddenly appeared...
What the hell? There is a task?
Chu Ge didn't take it seriously. This small map can only show the surrounding map and unit status. The so-called tasks should be just people who have something special to help. They will not really trigger tasks like in the game. Of course, it is possible to know through communication that the other party needs help, but just like reality, it is not easy to gain the other party's trust. If the communication is not smooth, it may cause trouble. So Chu Ge did not mean to take over the task. He just glanced at the other side. The person sitting on the table was an old Chinese man, who looked very old in his seventies or eighties, but he was still in good spirits and graceful. He gave people the feeling of a superior person at first sight. He sat next to him respectfully, a bald man in a black suit, seemed to be a bodyguard.
The old man seemed to sense his gaze, suddenly looked up at him, and nodded slightly.
What's going on? Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, but Helena in front of him suddenly sighed, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I think I've met an acquaintance."
Acquaintance? Chu Ge turned around, but saw Helena also smiling and raised her cup to the Chinese old man, with an expression of meeting an old friend.
Chu Ge then realized that the old man should not nodded at him, but at Helena.
"Do you know that old man?"
"Of course, this old man is extraordinary. He is the former president of the Dragon Blood Society."
"Dragon Blood Society?"
"You don't even know the Dragon Blood Society. You are not very qualified as a detective. Dragon Blood Society is one of the largest Chinese gangs in the United States. You can rank in the top 20 among the entire American gangs. Of course, strictly speaking, it is a bit uncertain whether the Dragon Blood Society is still considered a gangster. Since ten years ago, this gang has started to transform its business, and the old man is the one who is in charge of the transformation.
I was in charge of investigating him a few years ago. At that time, he was half retired and opened this restaurant. I didn’t find any useful information at that time. I found that the food here is very good. I also knew him, but I didn’t expect that he still remembered me.”
"Your appearance is hard to forget." Chu Ge complimented without a trace, "By the way, you just said that your recent work is not going well."
"Yes." Helena's expression was quite entangled when talking about work.
"I won't talk about the details. Some things that ordinary people should not know. As a detective, you should know that there are always some gray areas in reality that are not so legal but objective, especially when it comes to people with special backgrounds."
Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Of course I understand."
"well, I happened to encounter such a thing recently, but the boss told me not to investigate anymore."
Chu Gexin said it was so bloody, but the gossip heart couldn't help but emerge. After watching so many Hollywood blockbusters, you will inevitably become interested in the dark side of this capitalism, "So you feel hesitant."
