Although winter has entered Wanghai in the apocalyptic world, Koro Island in the current world is still warm. (［
The sun was setting slightly, and the sea breeze was gently playing with the leaf buds of the palm trees, and ruffling the heads of tourists washing at the beach. With the sound of the ocean tide, bursts of playfulness and laughter came from not far away. Although he couldn't understand the language of that country, Jiang Chen always felt that it sounded very comfortable.
The runway at Los Angeles International Airport has been applied for, and he will be flying to the United States tomorrow.
This morning he returned here from the apocalypse and stayed at home all day to make final preparations for this trip. After dinner, he wanted to change his mood, so he put on sportswear and went out.
Originally, Jiang Chen just planned to run a few laps around the park in the villa area, but with his physique, he didn't feel much at all for a distance of one or two kilometers. Just as he got interested in the process, he ran a little further than before and ran along the road to the beach.
On Koro Island alone, there are as many as 500,000 to 600,000 tourists staying here. Looking at the people enjoying life on the beach, Jiang Chen always felt a sense of satisfaction as a king.
Shaking his head and smiling to drive this strange thought out of his mind, Jiang Chen wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder. Just as he was thinking about whether it was time to return, he happened to see an acquaintance on the side of the road.
It's Xia Shiyu.
Wearing a white sportswear, she tied her head into a refreshing ponytail, swaying like a squirrel's tail as she ran.
Seeing Jiang Chen, she waved and jogged over.
"It's really rare. Do you also have the habit of running late?"
Jiang Chen said: "I usually run in the morning, unless I have slept in the morning. Do you want to join us?"
"Um."
Xia Shiyu nodded and ran beside Jiang Chen naturally.
In fact, Jiang Chen had already planned to go back, but ended up running with Xia Shiyu again. But what he didn't know was that she had almost finished running when he met her, but when he extended the invitation, she somehow nodded.
This run lasts an hour.
What puzzled Xia Shiyu was that from the outside, it was impossible to tell that Jiang Chen was the kind of person who was very good at sports, but after running for an hour, he didn't even sweat much. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and asked to take a rest.
It happened that the place where the two stopped was near Jiang Chen's villa.
Xia Shiyu borrowed the bathroom, took off her sports clothes and took a shower.
Ayesha walked into the bathroom holding clean clothes and took the sweaty clothes to wash. When she passed by Jiang Chen, she gave him an unclear thumbs up.
Xia Shiyu, who had dried her wet hair and was wearing pajamas, pushed open the frosted glass door and walked out, saying with a little embarrassment.
"Do you have any casual clothes? Can you lend me some?... I can't wear this clothes out."
Ayesha said: "It's almost nine o'clock. Let's stay here tonight."
Jiang Chen helplessly glanced at Aisha's back.
This little girl occasionally does extra things out of her own free will.
Hearing Aisha's invitation, Xia Shiyu's cheeks turned red and she was about to refuse.
But at this moment, Natasha opened the door and walked in. After walking up the stairs, she happened to meet her eyes.
Xia Shiyu was slightly stunned when she saw the unexpected person.
"Why...are you here?"
"Because I didn't rent a house and there happened to be a vacant room here, I stayed here." As she said that, Natasha smiled narrowly and teased Xia Shiyu's words, "What? Are you jealous?"
The blush crept from her cheeks all the way down her neck, but Xia Shiyu's stubborn expression clearly didn't intend to admit it.
Natasha didn't wait for her answer and walked to the bathroom humming a Russian ditty. Having just returned from the embassy, she was going to go to the bathroom to take a shower and put on loose pajamas to rest.
Silence lasted for a while at the top of the stairs.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to ask if she needed him to drive her back to the apartment, Xia Shiyu turned away from her stiff neck and looked at him.
"So, from now on..."
"after?"
"I live here too."
When Xia Shiyu used all her strength to squeeze out these words from the gap between her lips, Jiang Chen was completely stunned.
This, where exactly is this
…
The flight time from Coro Island to Los Angeles is thirteen hours, and the time difference is sixteen hours.
At six o'clock in Los Angeles time, a white Gulfstream private plane slowly landed on the runway of Los Angeles International Airport. Six black cars were parked beside the runway. Officials and bodyguards in suits were already waiting there, quietly waiting for the plane to land.
Accompanied by Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen got off the plane.
Following him was a ghost agent named Zhu Yu, and six Star Ring Trade bodyguards in suits.
Although Ayesha strongly requested to be accompanied, considering her status as the chief instructor of the ghost agent and the fact that she would have to press the "button" to launch the missile if something unexpected happened to Jiang Chen, it would be better for her to stay behind.
After seeing Jiang Chen, Lawrence, who had been waiting for a long time, took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand to greet him from a distance.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen. You should have met me, but I guess you have forgotten about me, a little person. So please introduce yourself-"
"We meet again, Mr. Lawrence." Jiang Chen said with a smile and held Lawrence's extended hand.
Lawrence was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Chen to remember him.
"Your memory is amazing..."
"I'm also surprised. The person responsible for my security is actually the FBI?" Jiang Chen glanced at the two bodyguards wearing sunglasses behind him and said teasingly.
"Yes, your security level is second only to a certain fat man sixty years ago. By the way, his name is Khrushchev. Ahem! Please allow me to introduce you. This is the Minister of Commerce Vladimir Putin. Mr. Liske, you may have had a lawsuit, but I hope you don't mind." Lawrence skillfully introduced the official next to him to Jiang Chen.
The so-called lawsuit naturally refers to the antitrust investigation that shocked the United States and the interruption of Phantom Helmet service.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen." Pritzker extended his hand. His hooked nose looked a bit aggressive, but his voice was quite gentle.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pritzker." Jiang Chen smiled and held his hand.
As Jiang Chen expected, the United States attaches great importance to his safety. No matter how much the Pentagon and the White House worry about the dozens of intercontinental missiles he has on hand, it is impossible for them to do anything to him here, nor will they allow anyone to do anything to him here.
Once something unexpected happens to this boss, those missiles may not stay on the seabed, but fall on the heads of the Americans.
By then, all of North America will have to return to the Stone Age. (.)
