Chapter 689 Guide

February 9, early morning.

Luke received New Year greetings text messages and phone calls early in the morning. The first person surprised him a little, Chen Kelin from the second squadron.

However, it was normal to think about it. Chen is also Chinese, so he must celebrate the Spring Festival.

In the morning, Luke received New Year greetings from some friends one after another, which touched Luke's heart. You know, most of these friends don't celebrate the Spring Festival, and they may not even know about this festival before. They may have learned about the Spring Festival based on Luke's friend.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Luke's phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Lilith Finn's number.

"Hello, this is Luke."

"Happy New Year!" Lilith greeted in somewhat unfamiliar Chinese.

Luke smiled, "Happy New Year! Are you in Los Angeles?"

"No, I'm in New York. Have you come to New York?"

"How do you know I'm in New York?"

"Last time we were drinking, someone told me that he would go to New York for the Spring Festival, but he forgot it."

Luke smiled, "I remember, I did say that you also said that you would prepare a Spring Festival gift for me, right?"

Lilith snorted, "Since you forgot, the gift is naturally gone."

"To express my apology, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"Didn't you say that you would spend the Spring Festival with your family?"

"Isn't this the only way to show my sincerity?"

"OK, I'll give you this chance, see you tomorrow." Lilith said, and hung up the phone.

Luke was a little amused and helpless. Lilith hung up too quickly, without giving him a chance to react. Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and Luke is not sure if he has time.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Luke and his sons went to bed late yesterday and got up late today. After packing up, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and then they drove to Luke's grandfather's house.

Today is the Spring Festival.

After the family members met, they greeted each other and wished each other a happy new year.

The lunch was simpler, but also very rich.

Steamed bowls and dumplings.

There were a variety of steamed bowls, both meat and vegetarian, and there were more than a dozen kinds.

Dumplings also had two kinds of fillings, three fresh fillings and beef and green onions.

This meal may not be a big deal in China, but it is definitely high-standard in New York.

Luke has eaten in many restaurants in Los Angeles, but he has never eaten such authentic steamed bowls. He was also full of this meal.

After lunch, the old man was a little tired and sleepy, so he went back to the bedroom to rest.

The old lady was still energetic and arranged for everyone to play mahjong.

This is also a must-have entertainment project during festivals.

Soon, the mahjong table was set up, and Luke also played a few games. He was lucky and sat two dealers in a row.

But the fat man didn't win a single game and shouted that he wanted to change his position again.

Luke simply stopped playing and gave his seat to him. Not to mention that the little fat man changed to Luke's seat and won the first hand.

Sometimes it's really so weird.

Luke yawned and half-lying on the sofa to rest, watching his family playing mahjong not far away, which was quite interesting.

Will came over with two bottles of beer and handed one to Luke, "Brother, how many days will you stay this time?"

"I took a day off and stayed in New York for five days." Luke took a sip of beer and asked, "By the way, when will my aunt come to my house?"

"In previous years, she came on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but this year... I guess she can't come."

"Why?"

"Before, my aunt also said she would come on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but later Julia said that the university courses were tight and she would not come back for the New Year this year. My aunt and uncle went to the city where Julia studied to spend the New Year with her."

The university courses are tight, it's a lie.

Luke looked at Will, hesitant to speak, and asked, "Did Julia break up with that black man?"

"Who knows? It's a taboo topic now." Will showed an expression that you know.

Luke nodded. Since his aunt and her family are not coming tomorrow, he can keep the appointment.

"I heard from my aunt that you participated in the bounty hunter training?"

"I wanted to tell you in person." Will shrugged, "Did they ask you to persuade me to change my career?"

Luke smiled, "Why do you want to become a bounty hunter?"

"I have a friend whose father is a bounty hunter, so he also followed in his father's footsteps and participated in the bounty hunter training. He asked me if I wanted to go with him?

I learned about bounty hunters online and felt that this industry was quite challenging and could also increase some practical experience, so I signed up and my friend helped me get a preferential price."

Luke said, "So, you participated in the bounty hunter training just out of interest, and you haven't completely decided to join this industry."

"Uh... …I don’t know what to say.

You should know that Chinese people are a vulnerable group in the United States, giving people a feeling that they are easy to bully. I have had similar experiences.

So, I hope I can become stronger, more confident, and can face other races calmly.

Whether I am a policeman or a bounty hunter, I will be trained in guns and fighting skills, which will make me feel more powerful and more confident to live in this land.

I really want to be a bounty hunter. First, I want to make money. Second, I think this experience will make me stronger and able to protect my family like a real man.

Instead of being bullied by gangs like before and not even having the ability to resist. ”

Luke patted him on the shoulder, "I don't know much about the bounty hunting industry, and I don't know whether I should advise you to leave this industry.

But uncle and aunt are worried about your safety. "

"I know, I will protect myself."

"It's good that you have your own ideas. If you need any help, you can contact me."

"thanks, I will."

"cheers!"

Luke picked up the beer bottle and clinked a drink with the other party.

night.

After dinner, Luke's family of three drove away.

While driving, Li Zhaofeng asked his two sons, "Did you have fun today?"

The little fat man smiled and said, "Of course, happy times always pass quickly, but the only regret is that there are no fireworks this year."

Li Zhaofeng said, “Last year, a friend of mine set off cannons in the yard, and neighbors in the community thought someone was shooting, so they called 911.

After the police came, they questioned my friend and left a deep impression on him.

Therefore, we did not buy firecrackers this year. "

The little fat man shrugged, expressing his understanding.

Li Zhaofeng asked, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Before Luke could say anything, the little fat man said, "Will asked me to go out to play tomorrow."

"That's good. You young people should have more contact." Li Zhaofeng nodded and looked at Luke aside, "Are you going too?"

Luke said, "No, my friends in New York knew I was coming and wanted to treat me to dinner."

"OK, then you go out and play. Remember to come back for dinner in the evening. I will prepare delicious food for you."

The little fat man asked, "Still fried noodles?"

Li Zhaofeng smiled and said, "I also learned a new dish. Believe me, it will be delicious."

…

The next morning.

Luke was having breakfast when he received a call from Lilith, saying that she would send a car to pick Luke up later.

Luke is not very familiar with New York, so it is always good to have a car to pick him up.

At about 9 a.m., a pink Rolls-Royce parked outside Li Zhaofeng's house.

As soon as Luke opened the door, he saw this flashy luxury car. It was difficult to keep a low profile when driving this kind of car on the road.

The little fat man also walked out with envy written all over his face, "Brother, I suddenly don't want to go out with Will anymore. Can I go out with you?"

"It's not a good habit to break an appointment. Say hello to Will for me." After Luke finished speaking, he walked towards the pink Rolls-Royce.

The driver ran out of the car and opened the door for Luke. Luke got into the back seat of the car and disappeared at the end of the road under the envious eyes of the little fat man.

Luke looked at Lilith who was sitting next to her. She was wearing a khaki sweater and black jeans. Although her flesh was not exposed, her plump bust, straight long legs, and graceful curves were very eye-catching.

Luke smiled, "I like your jeans, they're sexy."

Lilith asked, "Is there anything unsexy about me?"

"You'll have to watch it to find out." Luke joked, "So, are we going to the hotel now?"

"I went to the hotel so early in the morning. Are you crazy, or am I crazy?" Lilith snorted, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to dinner?"

Luke glanced at his watch, "Are you sure you want to eat at this time?

If you came to pick me up so early, you must have other programs. "

"Haha... As expected of a great police detective, I really can't hide this from you.

I am different from some forgetful people. If I say I want to give you a gift, I will give it to you.

I specially set aside a day today to be your guide and take you to have a good day in New York. "

Luke joked, "Where? To see the Statue of Liberty? Or to go to Wall Street?"

"You'll know in a minute."

Luke asked no more questions. Sitting in a luxury car was a kind of enjoyment in itself, "Is there any red wine?"

"You have quite a lot to ask for." Lilith glanced at him, took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured it into two glasses, and handed one to Luke.

Luke picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lilith, "Thank you."

He took a sip and nodded, "Good wine.

When did you come to New York? "

"I came here last week. I have some business matters to take care of here."

The two drank red wine and chatted.

About ten minutes later, the car drove into a retro-style street and entered a yard that resembled a manor.

Manors in New York are not generally expensive. Luke couldn't help but ask, "What are we doing here?"

"Take you to see a private painting exhibition."

Luke looked at the exquisite flower beds on the roadside and asked, "Opening a painting exhibition in the manor?"

"Yeah, it's going to be a little quieter and has a better atmosphere."

Luke reacted and asked, "Do you want to take me to experience the life of New York's upper class?"

Lilith tilted her head, "It's not upper class or not, it's just the lifestyle of some rich people.

are you ready? "

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it." Luke drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Isn’t the meaning of life just to experience different lives?
