From London to New York, compared with the previous drive through the United Arab Emirates, the distance, flight time, and transportation in the metropolis are much more comfortable and faster.

In a few hours, New York.

At the beginning, Lin Hao gave this address to Ye Xuanyi. Of course, he had his own backup, and the location is not difficult to find... It's not a rich area, but a busy commercial and residential skyscraper. The set is connected up and down, but that guy really understands how to hide in the market.

He rang the video doorbell of the building, and the person who opened the door for him was not Ye Xuanyi. The man who appeared in the video had a typical oriental face. Although he was unfamiliar, Lin Hao knew who it was right away—the brows were flamboyant and domineering Some are like Jiang Shaoyun, but not as reckless as Jiang Shaoyun, and some are like Tan Lu, but not as crazy as Tan Lu. What he sees in this man's eyes is the appearance of an emperor with wisdom engraved in his clothes, and his calmness is too much. ...It was the same feeling that that man gave him when we talked on the phone a few times!

The door of the building opened smoothly, but Lin Hao who was standing in the elevator had already started to feel uneasy... This is the most difficult opponent he has ever seen. It would be great if he could not become an opponent!This kind of feeling is quite like going to the meeting alone, but it's not... Ye Xuanyi was added in the middle!

He couldn't quite imagine... how Ye Xuanyi, a nervous idiot, lived alive and kicking in the hands of this kind of person!

In the elevator, Lin Hao subconsciously touched his pockets... Two guns were hidden in the most convenient place, and there was a throwing knife belt with sixteen throwing knives hanging on it, and smoke bombs and tear gas bombs were hidden in the soles of the shoes... If the situation is not good after a while, he will desperately try to rescue Ye Xuanyi. He sent the person, and this is the responsibility he must bear for his mistake in decision-making!

But...damn it!Lin Hao rubbed his painful waist... Thanks to Jiang Shaoyun last night, his current situation is terrible. Thinking of the expression of the man in the video just now, he really has no chance of winning!

It's like this every time, being bullied, smashing teeth and swallowing in the stomach, not even having time to be sad... Those bastards of the Jiang family!

However, despite all the calculations along the way, Lin Hao never expected that the moment the door was opened, everything would be different from what he thought!

"I have admired your name for a long time, welcome to my humble house, please take a seat."

There is nothing inharmonious in the clean room, with pastel-colored wallpapers, soft sofas, and medieval-style oil paintings hanging on the walls. Not to mention guns, there is not even a single knife and ax used to decorate the face. For a mansion, this place is not spacious, but it is very warmly furnished... There is a guitar in the corner, and next to the guitar is a Disney teddy bear. If I remember correctly, it is the favorite style of that idiot Ye Xuanyi ...

It's not vicious, dignified, and doesn't smell like local tyrants or upstarts... Plain petty bourgeoisie style, if he didn't know who the owner of this place is in advance, even he might think that this place is just a popular single "warm man" residence.

Moreover, this place is clearly a private residence, and there are none of the bodyguards and subordinates he expected.

"Please sit-"

The man tilted his head, looked at him with a smile, and invited again.

Lin Hao glanced at the tea table in front of the sofa. The cup of steaming hot tea was obviously just made for him, and he frowned instinctively... The tea seemed to be nothing, but to be honest, he didn’t know how to drink it, especially It was after eating Cook's unlucky apple yesterday.

"Where's Ye Xuanyi? You know I'm not here as a guest! Hurry up and return him to me, I have to catch the plane back home."

In the smile of the other party, in all the pictures he can see in front of him... there is no flaw, but the more this makes him feel uneasy, his intuition tells Lin Hao that this kind of person will not make enemies if he does not make enemies. It is the best policy to achieve the goal and leave quickly!

"He... is taking a shower, and he will come out in about 5 minutes... If you don't like drinking tea, how about I show you around my house?"

Home is a very private place. Foreigners don’t have the habit of taking other people around the house. Even if they are both Chinese, young people nowadays don’t like to do this. This man’s smile is polite and deep. The bottomless eyes seem to be telling him——

If you are worried, you don't have to drink the tea. If you are still worried, you can check it casually.

Devious and frank, a flawless combination of contradictory attitudes, and yet so annoying!

Lin Hao frowned slightly, and directly grasped the point——

"Bath? Now?"

It's 04:30 in the afternoon in New York time... Even if it's a late sleep, it's too exaggerated, not to mention knowing that he will come over today, although Ye Xuanyi is a bit rough, it's not so indiscriminate.

The other party didn't intend to explain to him, but his expression seemed a little mysterious——

"Let's take a stroll first. If you have any questions, wait for him to explain to you later."

Lin Hao was relieved by these words, but at the same time, his heart was involuntarily suspended... Don't worry, after listening to these words, he will definitely see Ye Xuanyi, so he should be really fine, but what's the explanation?Letting people go is a very simple matter. There are so many twists and turns for no reason, there must be something wrong with it.

There was no chance to ask him questions, the man had already stepped forward, upstairs and downstairs, from the living room to the study, from the kitchen to the bedroom, except for the bathroom, let him see everything at a glance, the style is the same as that of the living room It's no different, there is nothing that makes people feel inconsistent... But it is Lin Hao, and there are still subtle discoveries——

In the bookish study filled with books and music scores, there are two desks of the same style, but one seems to be newly added from the subtle color difference... Maybe it is for Ye Xuanyi, because here There is no third person.If so, it means that Ye Xuanyi is really doing well here, but why?

There is also the bedroom. Although the second bedroom is also well-equipped, it doesn't smell like a human being... The master bedroom, in a house where everything is neat and clean, only the quilt in the bedroom is still in a mess, and he even smells a little more private. .

There was a very bad premonition looming... He didn't even dare to think about it. As for the man beside him, this guy seemed to let him see some strange things on purpose, deliberately suppressed his budding doubts in the cradle, and Without waiting for him to ask any questions, he took the initiative to "chat" while walking——

"Hey, Lin Hao, right? My name is Tulie."

There are not many opportunities for the boss of "S" to take the initiative to say his name. Unfortunately, Lin Hao's mind has always been calm and far less cute than his appearance——

"Hehe, stop! I don't want to know what the boss of 'S' is called. I'm just a businessman now, and I'm the chairman of the Jiang family... I think the less I know about this kind of thing, the safer it will be."

Tulie rubbed his nose, he probably hasn't been "slapped in the face" like this for a long time, he was a little embarrassed——

"Then is there anything you want to know? For the sake of Ye Xuanyi and Jiang Shaoyun, I will tell you everything."

"Jiang Shaoyun doesn't have that face with me. The friendship between Ye Xuanyi and me doesn't need your face. If you really want to chat, then Cook, he is your person. I didn't treat him this time." Kill me, you owe me once."

"Has anyone ever told you that you'll have no friends if you're so mean?"

"I don't have any friends, so how could someone tell me?"

Ye Xuanyi is not a friend, but a life-and-death acquaintance... However, Lin Hao thinks that it is good for Ye Xuanyi's safety to disregard the relationship in front of this man coldly.

"Okay, okay, then you're done with the tour, let's go to the living room, I guess he's about to finish washing!"

Lin Hao didn't answer, but followed his footsteps and returned quietly... Until he was about to enter the living room, Lin Hao stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Confusion was written on the man's face.

"ask you a question."

"Say."

"What do you think of Jiang Shaoyun and Cook? Oh, by the way, don't talk about 'good brothers' or 'good friends'. I don't like wasting time on idle nonsense."

The corner of the man's mouth raised slightly with a hint of helplessness, he finally understood why this thin little beauty in front of him made Jiang Shaoyun so terribly confused, man, sometimes it's better to be a little confused, just like Ye Xuanyi's little fox, clumsy , how cute.Lin Hao, you are too sharp. If you like this kind of person, you will die young. How many brain cells die every day!

After being silent for about half a minute, there are really not many people who can make this man fall into such serious thinking. Tu Lie obviously wants to give him a serious answer, otherwise people like Lin Hao will definitely not give up——

"The relationship between us is more like the relationship between casino owners and professional gamblers. They put their lives on the line to find the excitement they want. I provide them with a platform with unlimited possibilities and benefit from it. In addition to win-win cooperation , if you like each other, you can also become friends, such as the relationship between me and Shaoyun and Cook outside of the mission."

"So Jiang Shaoyun is in trouble, and you asked me to be an outsider to put out the fire, because no matter how optimistic you are about him, you will not extend a partial hand in matters within the 'gambling game'? Then how much do you know about me? You asked me to go Then, how sure are you?"

"Understood, I only know that your skills are probably not bad, and the background should be very deep, so deep that you can't dig it out...you should be [-]-[-] to be sure."

"What if I fail? You really don't care about them?"

"Actually, I think you are too realistic. From another perspective, even if you don't do this job, Shaoyun and Cook are not short of money. They are not here to make money, but they are willing to use their lives as bargaining chips. Don't you Do you think dignity and adventure are more important to them? And, you know, the so-called "[-]-[-] split" is because I don't know you well, but Shaoyun often mentions you on the phone, with a very yearning, even a little admiration ...You are the first person who can make him show that kind of tone, I have confidence."

Lin Hao was slightly taken aback, yearning?Worship... That guy Jiang Shaoyun treats him?

"Where's Ye Xuanyi? What did you do to him?"

This topic jumped very fast, and it was abrupt... Lin Hao didn't want to continue chatting anymore, because as soon as Jiang Shaoyun was mentioned, he remembered what happened last night, but for some reason, this man's full of anger was suppressed by this man with just two words. It has resolved a lot, which will only make him feel more embarrassed!

"This...why don't you ask him yourself?"

Following the direction of the man's finger, in the living room close at hand, the figure Lin Hao is most familiar with on the sofa is waiting there with a teacup in his hand. That person suddenly made Lin Hao's eyes warm——

"Xuan Yi!"
