Shameless

Chapter 372: Guests at the door

Views:

Young Bai Qi was playing rugby and 'accidentally' injured a girl. After hearing the news, Li Muye immediately came to apologize with Margaret. This is exactly what Wang Situ used in ancient times to cleverly use a beauty trap to kill Dong Zhuo. Today, Brother Xiaoye uses a clever trick to knock on the door of Thunder God Manor while talking and laughing.

After two hundred years of reproduction, the Adams family has members all over North America. Brooke's generation alone has two state legislators, but the most powerful one is the weapons manufacturing giant who has been in charge of the Thunder Group for twenty years. He also lived in the Adams family estate, which was once revered as the Little White House.

Passing through a three-mile viewing promenade, there are thick walls of shrubs on both sides, clumps and rows, looking like a maze. Through hearing, the touch brought by the wind, and the keen sense of smell, Li Muye could clearly sense the security personnel hidden in the invisible corners.

From the outside, it is difficult to associate the slightly old and classic Thor Manor with the former Little White House as the same place. This ancient manor has been far away from the political center for many years, and there are no traces of the crowds, busy traffic, and tight security that it once had. It opens its door to welcome guests. At this moment, the owner of the manor was already waiting in front of the main door steps of the building.

Brooke is a handsome middle-aged white man. Even though he is over sixty years old, he still looks thin and lanky. The frosty white on his temples only adds a little bit of vicissitudes of charm. Zellweger's mother is a white woman in her early forties, with moderate makeup, quiet and polite, and wearing beautiful women's clothing of good style and well-cut. Their daughter Zellweger wore a pink dress suit, with long blond hair draped over her shoulders. Her arm was fixed in a cast and she looked a little unhappy.

As Margaret said, today's Addams family no longer looks as unattainable as it did in the past after losing its royal aura. They have long been disinterested in the position that changes every four years and have settled in the world. They focus mainly on the people and are keen on charity and people's livelihood basic industries. While establishing and controlling the largest number of student aid foundations in a high-profile manner, they also keep a low profile. It owns the world's largest and most profitable military-industrial enterprise.

Brooke loved this little daughter very much. In order to let her enjoy the same growth happiness as all children, he did not mind if his daughter came into contact with civilian families. This will help them create a democratic and fair public opinion environment. So this is not the first time such contact has occurred, nor will it be the last.

Looking at Brooke, who was friendly to the people at the foot of the steps, and feeling the vigilant gazes of snipers from the surrounding rooftops, Li Muye suddenly remembered a powerful figure named Meng Changjun during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The person in front of me is one of the big bosses who enjoys the cake of the world's most powerful country. Although it seems a bit ordinary, it is this ordinary point that highlights this person's profound cultivation and wisdom.

In today's scene, Li Muye is only the nominal protagonist, and Margaret is the one who really plays the big role. Comparable to the little matchmaker in the West Wing.

"Mr. Brooke Adams, I am Li Muye from Toronto. Please forgive our presumptuous visit. I am very sorry about the unpleasantness that happened between my nephew and your daughter. I am here to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of my whole family. I would like to express my sincere apologies to my daughter and your whole family." Li Muye said his lines as Margaret taught him.

Brooke on the steps was also looking at this oriental man with a somewhat mysterious origin. Before deciding to accept the other party's request to visit, the security personnel had already conducted a not in-depth investigation into Li Muye's identity and origin. This Chinese came to North America only in the past six months and is currently running a Chinese restaurant business in Toronto. Before that, this man named Li Muye was an adventurer and a scholar of Eastern mysticism.

Such investigation results aroused Brooke's curiosity to a certain extent.

In recent years, more and more Orientals have immigrated to North America, and the total population is approaching ten million. Although the unique cultural customs of the Chinese make it difficult for most of them to fully integrate into mainstream society, they have gradually become a new social group that cannot be ignored.

Li Muye wore a silver-white Tang suit today. He has a handsome and pleasant face, a noble temperament, and extraordinary charm. He exudes the mysterious charm unique to Eastern people. And Margaret standing next to him was even more eye-catching. The well-tailored clothes highlight the toned and sexy figure. The standard Western beauty face is paired with a pair of eyes as deep and clear as the sea. The moderate and polite smile gives people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.

I recommend this reading app that I am using recently. It has many book sources, complete books, and is updated quickly!

"Excuse me." Margaret said in a smooth London accent: "Dear Mr. Brooke, I must explain to you that my Oriental teacher has a little problem with his spoken pronunciation, but he came here But my apology for the serious consequences of my nephew’s reckless behavior is sincere.”

Brooke took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Muye, shook his hand, and said: "Dear Mr. Li, hello, it is a great honor to receive you and your girlfriend and this brave young man. As soon as we met, there was a pleasant little smile. Differences, but I don’t think this is a very serious problem. In my opinion, when we were still sixteen years old, we also communicated in this way. Therefore, I hope that today’s meeting is not a criticism meeting. It’s a fellowship party.”

Margaret handed the prepared expensive red wine and a hand-customized evening dress to Brooke's wife, and then said to Brooke with a polite yet self-respecting smile: "Dear Sir, please accept our little offer. Be careful. My name is Margaret. You and your wife can call me Mary. Also, I would like to correct what you just said. I am not Mr. Li’s girlfriend, but his disciple. My master looks very young, but in fact He is over fifty years old."

Brooke was slightly taken aback, and looked at Li Muye carefully, a little suspicious: "Miss Mary, are you sure you are not joking with us about Mr. Li's age?" He then explained: "Yes, Li He looks too young. Before I heard what you said, I thought he couldn't be more than five years older than my Zellweger baby."

"People often have such misunderstandings about my teacher's age, and you are not the first." Margaret said: "But the fact is, I have known the teacher since I was very young, and he was now He still looked like this when I met him again when I went to China a few years ago."

"Oh, oh!" Brooke shook his head slightly to express disbelief, and smiled: "It seems that my knowledge is really superficial. Mr. Li reminded me of an old friend named Donald. I heard that he had a mysterious and powerful person. Chinese friends, like you, have a distinctive youthful appearance. Is this the mysterious magic from the East?"

The Donald he refers to is Huang Yongshen's backer to gain a foothold in North America and the power of Hop Kee Hall. Within the Freemasonry, this person's status is far from comparable to that of the Adams family boss.

The more important a person is, the more likely he is to ignore the people and things around him.

In North America, if they are not specifically engaged in intelligence work, few people will know anything about the people in the Eastern Jianghu world. For someone like Brooke who makes strategic decisions, his focus is always on issues and areas that are of vital interest to him. There is little involvement in specific intelligence work. Therefore, although Huang Yongshen is also a famous figure in the world, in the eyes of the real big guys with great influence in the Western world in North America, he is still just a nobody.

There is no doubt that Margaret's previous identity was of sufficient importance, but the problem is that as Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Imperial Alliance, she has remained mysterious since the day she took this position. Anyone who has seen her in person and knows her identity clearly, There are only a few veteran giant-level figures within the alliance.

Brooke has always disdained those mysterious activities that often violate the spirit of the Constitution, so he has never paid special attention to Margaret, the former leader of the Imperial Alliance.

Margaret said: "What helps my teacher stay young is not some mysterious magic, but a health-preserving method that has been passed down for more than two thousand years. This method combines physical exercise with health-preserving methods from Eastern mysticism. By adjusting recipes and constructing a reasonable dietary structure, and doing moderate exercise to recuperate the body and mind, we can achieve the purpose of maintaining our youthful vitality.”

"A very interesting explanation." Brooke said, letting Li Muye and the others into the living room. After sitting down, he looked at Li Muye with interest and asked, "Mr. Li, is the physical skill that Miss Mary mentioned just now Kung Fu?" He made another gesture and said, "Bruce Lee!"

Li Muye spread his hands and smiled, shaking his head and saying, "No, Mr. Brooke, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I don't know how to compete with others in a ring."

Margaret said: "My master is a very humble person. He has very powerful abilities, but he will not use them casually. This is the philosophy and morality that Eastern martial arts practitioners must inherit, but if necessary, he will actually A man as powerful as Bruce Lee."

"As far as I know, people who pursue great strength rarely live long." Brooke said: "Many of those great fighters, including Mr. Bruce Lee, died young, and Mr. Lee There doesn’t seem to be such a problem with me.”

Margaret said: "If I want to explain your question clearly, I have to talk about some of our secrets. This is inconvenient, so please forgive me for not being able to give you a satisfactory answer. Today we are here This is to express my apology, and at the same time, my teacher hopes to personally treat your daughter."

"No, I think it's better to forget it." Brooke said: "The doctor has fixed her and used some medicine. She is very strong and will be fine soon."

Li Muye knew it was time to show off his skills, so he stood up and came to the little girl Zellweger and said: "It's just fixation and support protection, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem."

Mrs. Brooke said: "Please don't worry. Our family doctor thinks this is not a serious injury. As long as you receive professional diagnosis and treatment, you can recover within half a year. It just needs a minor operation. Before that, out of caution, , he wanted to complete some inspection items first, so he chose the conservative fixation method.”

In fact, hospitals in the United States also offer manual bone reduction surgery, but here, the more wealthy people are, the harder it is for them to enjoy relatively simple medical services. When encountering such a situation, doctors usually adopt open treatment methods that are more recognized by them and incorporate scientific laws. Manual reduction requires the patient to endure a lot of pain and be willing to cooperate. It also requires some precise techniques. There are still some risks in the process. In comparison, surgical treatment is more reliable.

"I think your family doctor made simple things complicated." Before Li Muye finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the little girl's arm. (End of chapter)
