Avril didn't keep me waiting, she came to my Jingxinzhai alone.
Black leather trousers are paired with a neat jacket, with regular concave and convex shapes, and a ponytail combed behind her back, just like the person walking out in the passport photo, but now standing in front of her, her facial features are more delicate and three-dimensional, and her aura is stronger.
She strode in, completely different from her previous attitude on the phone. She looked around casually, and then asked, "Boss Cao has lost a lot of money these days, right?"
I said: "In our line of work, even those who practice stalls on the street dare not say that they are successful. Don't you know that there is a saying that if you don't open for three years, you will survive for three years if you open? Oh, by the way, I forgot that you are from the United States. Man, it’s normal if you don’t know these slang words.”
She shook her head and said: "Actually, I grew up in China. Please don't underestimate me. Make an offer, how much is it?"
I smiled and said, "I don't know if Miss Avril is asking about the tuition fee for this slang I taught you, or is it referring to something else?"
Her face suddenly turned cold: "Stop talking in circles, he has no time! How much money can you give him to me?"
"Oh, so you are talking about my third child. I'm sorry, he is a human being, not an object. I can't 'hand' him over to you!"
"You!" Avril suddenly opened her eyes wide and raised her head and leaned close to me. She naturally has a body that she is proud of, but her endless endurance and explosiveness can be detected under her well-proportioned appearance.
"What conditions do you want? Just ask!"
I met her hot gaze: "You mean...any conditions?"
She hesitated for a moment, as if she had made some kind of decision: "Okay!"
"I said no!" At this time, the fat man and Long Wu came in from the door. The fat man pointed at my nose and said, "You thief, you deliberately separated us and came here to tease the American people. . International friendship has all been forgotten, and my conscience has been greatly damaged!"
As the fat man spoke, he ran up to me in small steps: "Well, you old Cao, if you have such good things, you will forget all about your brothers."
"I'm also trying to test her. Do you think I'm serious?"
"Who knows if you are serious...if you were a step too late, you would have closed the rolling shutter door!"
I was whispering nonsense to the fat man, and Avril ran to Long Wu excitedly: "Herbert, are you... okay?"
The fat man asked me: "What are you drinking?"
I said, "What's the drink? That's called Herbert, which means brave warrior in English. It should be the foreign name of the third child."
Long Wu looked at Avril and said coldly: "You can call me Long Wu."
Avril couldn't hide her tears and said with great disappointment: "You... still don't remember anything?"
I pulled the two of them apart, shook my head at Avril, took out my passport and handed it to her. Avril saw her passport and immediately wiped away her tears: "You guys went to Danzi again?"
I was not surprised by her word "you". I said to her: "Let's talk about the content of the phone call first and how we can save him."
But when faced with my question, Avril seemed hesitant to speak.
I said unceremoniously: "I have long heard that what the American people are best at is making up lies. It seems that Miss Avril has not followed the Romans. What I want to say is that what we Chinese pay attention to is that I believe you and you believe me. Watch today We are not just here. Fatty, see you off!"
"Wait a minute!" Avril obviously didn't want to be pushed out by the fat man.
"Miss Avril, do you have anything else to say?"
"Herbert, also known as Long Wu in your mouth, he once saved my life. Please believe in me, I will not harm him!"
Avril continued: "I will tell you everything I know, but before that, I want to know what happened to you?"
At this time, the fat man said: "Huh? I'm talking about lesbians, haven't you been in there too? Which of your words are true and which are false? I have to remind you that lesbians lie than..."
"Fat Wang!" Avril suddenly interrupted the fat man's words: "I know your background. I worked as a sailor on a merchant ship for several years. Later, because of you, a merchant ship had a major accident in the waters of Myanmar. Fortunately, the accident happened. The result was that the cargo sank into the sea, and no human life was involved."
"You! Where did you... get this information? You want to spread rumors about the bad fat man's reputation, and you don't even care about whose territory you are in!" The fat man instantly became angry with embarrassment, and his fingers were trembling.
"Rumors? Oh, by the way, it seems that you were not the only one responsible for the shipwreck ten years ago. I remember there was another person. Let me think about it, oh, he is your master, right? Then, I still have Do you want to hear more details about that shipwreck?"
"That's enough!" I had already seen all the clues from Fatty's behavior, and I didn't want to ask her where she got it. "Miss Avril, I think our topic today should not be some old story, but how to rescue my brother Long Wu. As for our operation this time, I can share it with you, but I also want to remind you that although You are a woman, but as a man, my patience is always limited."
Next, I quickly told her all the story of this operation in the simplest way. When she heard that we entered the Longquan Tomb and found the Blood Orchid Dragon Pill, she said excitedly: "You found the Blood Orchid Dragon Pill? Then..." She looked at Long Wu's arm: "Well, although I haven't seen it, what you found must be a fake, otherwise Herbert wouldn't..."
I shook my head: "It's true, and it's two Blood Orchid Dragon Pills!" I clenched my fists as I spoke. It seems that this woman knows more than we thought. No wonder she is so confident. We are at this moment Being passive has become a matter of course.
"Then???" Avril was very puzzled.
I could only sigh and tell her what happened in detail.
The fat man said: "It's not all Lao Cao's fault. I'm also responsible. If I had been more careful at the beginning, I wouldn't have..."
Avril looked at me and then at Fatty, with an extremely complicated expression on her face. Finally, she closed her eyes and showed great annoyance and regret: "A little bit, really only a little bit!"
I don't know why, facing her behavior, I felt even more guilty and restless.
It's like having a fight in childhood and someone else's mother comes to the door. For a moment I wasn't sure whether this metaphor was appropriate.
She finally gathered her emotions and spoke slowly: "Actually, Herbert and I both come from the same place, the Morgan Far East Surveying Company! Maybe you are not familiar with this name, but you must know the other name, the East India Colonial Company. !”
