Chapter 27 Pretty
Yang Yi held a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would report his origin straight to the point, which might make the answerer change his mind.
Of course, if the person who answered the phone was not the person he was looking for, then hope will of course become disappointment.
"Mr. Phyllis? I said this is my phone number. I don't know anything about Mr. Phyllis, don't call again!"
The phone was hung up, and the woman talking sounded quite angry.
Of course Yang Yi was very disappointed, but he still had two phone calls to make, but the reply received on the second call was the same as last time, and the person he was looking for was already dead.
The air number Yang Yi did not call, and he called the last call to Xianggang.
Even if he could contact the person far away in Xianggang, would it be helpful to him now? Yang Yi really didn't think that he was just seeking medical treatment after he was desperate.
"Hey, that's the next one?"
After receiving the call, Yang Yi felt at a loss again, and was stunned for a moment, and then he said in English: "Hello, I'll look for David."
"Hey, what are you talking about? I know what you are talking about."
Yang Yi looked confused and the conversation was deadlocked again, but the person who answered the phone was the only one who was not sure about anything, so he decided to try it harder.
Yang Yi changed to Mandarin, and then he whispered: "I am Yang Sheng's son. I'll look for David. I need help."
The phone was silent for a moment, and then the man who answered the phone said in Mandarin with a very heavy accent: "You spoke Mandarin earlier, I don't understand what the ghost guy said. You just said you are Yang Sheng's son, that Yang Sheng?"
"It's not Yang Sheng, it's Yang Sheng! Shengli Sheng, he left me this phone number and asked me to find someone named David. Are you David?"
The phone was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "I'm David."
Although he clearly couldn't speak English, he wanted to give a foreigner's name. Yang Yi still complained about this, but at this time his heart began to jump wildly.
"I need help, I'm in London, can you help me?"
After waiting for a while, David said in a deep voice: "Your father has been dead for many years."
“Yes, it’s been eleven years.”
David exhaled and said in a helpless tone: "How do you prove that you are Yang Sheng's son?"
"I can't prove it now, or can I make sure I can call this phone?"
"Okay, forget it. Since your father left my phone number to you, I have to contribute. What trouble did you encounter."
"I'm in London and I'm being chased, I need..."
"Wow, this is really a big trouble."
"Yes, can you help me?"
Yang Yi was full of expectations. Although he felt that it was unlikely that a person in Xianggang would help him, even if David was willing to help him, it would take time.
After waiting for a while, David hurriedly said, "I won't say much if you are in urgent situation. Where are you in London? In this way, you can immediately find a beautiful Chinese restaurant near the Paddington train, and find their manager Danny, and say that I asked you to go and he will receive you. Danny owes your father a favor, and he should help you."
It was just a helpless choice in despair, but unexpectedly, it really came to a turning point.
Yang Yi's heart was pounding, and he said anxiously: "Paddington Railway Station? I'm nearby. I'll go right away. Do you have his phone number?"
"No phone number, go directly to the restaurant to find someone. Remember, the beautiful restaurant, I can't help you with the rest now. Good luck, bye."
David hung up the phone, Yang Yi suddenly put down his cell phone and whispered to Kate who was hanging on him: "There is hope! We have hope, now we go to the beautiful restaurant!"
David spoke in non-standard Mandarin, but Yang Yi would never misheard the word "beautiful". When he and Kate said, he naturally translated beautiful into beautiful.
Kate said weakly: "Beautiful restaurant, how can we get over?"
"Taxis, of course, are taxis. As long as we arrive at a beautiful restaurant, someone will help us. We just need to rush over and cheer up!"
Kate raised his head, and then she whispered, "I'm so cold."
"Pick up, I can't carry you into the taxi, you have to cheer up, we'll be fine soon."
While comforting Kate, Yang Yi was looking for the traces of the taxi, but when you don’t need a taxi, you feel that the taxi is running all over the floor. When you really use it, you won’t see it.
Finally, Yang Yi saw an empty car passing by. He immediately stretched out his hand and waited for the taxi to slowly stop beside him. Yang Yi suddenly felt saved.
"Go to the beautiful restaurant, please try to get faster, thank you."
The driver turned around and looked at the two people who were still unwilling to separate after getting in the car. He said with confusion: "Beautiful restaurant, which one? Where is it?"
“It’s near Paddington Railway Station.”
The taxi driver said with confusion: "Near Paddington Railway Station? As far as I know, there is no beautiful restaurant, even if it is a new one, are you sure that you are wrong?"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he said with great concern: "Has there been any before?"
“Not before.”
Yang Yi was a little stunned, and then he immediately said: "Maybe called another name, but the meaning is similar to that of a beautiful one."
The driver thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
Yang Yi was a little panicked again, and he said anxiously: "Drive first and drive near Paddington Railway Station. So are there any famous restaurants near the railway station?"
“A lot.”
The taxi driver began to report restaurant names one by one, and then he casually said: "If you want to eat Chinese food, then the Pearl liang restaurant is very good. It has no other disadvantages except expensive. It is a high-end Chinese restaurant, and there are also..."
"Wait, what restaurant did you just talk about?"
“What’s wrong with Pearl liang restaurant?”
After Yang Yi muttered a few words, he finally said anxiously: "It's there, please hurry up!"
Yang Yi understood what was going on. Pearl liang restaurant is a beautiful restaurant, and a beautiful restaurant is a Pearl liang restaurant.
Pearl means pearl, but the pronunciation is pronunciation that is floating when it is pronounced soon. Adding the liang behind it is easy to understand. Just like marking English pronunciation in Chinese, this restaurant only marks the pronunciation in English.
A small misunderstanding on his name made Yang Yi very shocked, and now, he finally had great hope again.
The taxi parked at the door of the beautiful restaurant, Yang Yi paid the money, and then helped Kate get out of the car.
From the outside, it is indeed a very beautiful restaurant, high-end, elegant and upscale, but this restaurant is about to close because it is already ten o'clock at night.
When Yang Yi helped him into the hotel door, a very beautiful receptionist said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, we're going to close soon. We can no longer entertain you two, sorry."
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he rushed to the waiter who greeted him: "No, I'll look for your manager, Danny, I'll look for Danny."
The waiter was a little confused, but she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, please wait."
Soon, a Chinese man came with the service.
The person who came was not too tall and was wearing a decent suit. He looked in his forties. Although he was slightly fat, he still couldn't hide his shrewd and capable temperament.
The manager frowned and waited to walk to Yang Yi and Kate, and sniffed slightly. The manager immediately said, "I'm sorry, this store is closed, please leave for both of you."
After the manager finished speaking, he turned around and left, as if he wanted to escape from here immediately. Yang Yi raised his voice and said in Mandarin urgently: "It was David who asked me to come, and I am Yang Sheng's son!"
The manager immediately stopped and lowered his head to ponder for a while. He turned around and frowned and said, "You are... Yang Sheng's... son? David... asked you... to come here?"
Yang Yi nodded immediately and said anxiously: "Yes! Are you Danny?"
The manager nodded bitterly, then said a few words in Cantonese, and said with a bitter look: "I came here very early... London, Mandarin... I said it, not very good. When you speak... Mandarin..., can you slow down? Also, I am... Danny."
Yang Yi immediately changed to English and said anxiously: "Please help me, my companion was injured, she was seriously injured."
Danny immediately let out a long sigh and smiled, "It's good to use English. Are you in trouble? She was shot in the stomach. Who shot her? The police?"
"I'm not a policeman, but I don't know who the attack was."
Danny looked at Yang Yi and smiled and said, "Young man, please be honest. If you want me to help you, you have to tell me what happened, otherwise how dare I make a decision easily, right? Tell me now, who wants to kill you?"
Looking at Kate who was about to lose his feet, Yang Yi said helplessly: "Can you save her first? I promise to tell you everything, but she is almost unable to hold on. Please, can you save her!"
Daniel shrugged and said indifferently: "Young man, don't ask others easily, it's useless. If you want to save you, you will save them if you don't want to save you. If you don't want to save you, it's useless if you ask."
Yang Yi's heart was gradually getting colder because he felt that as long as the truth was told, normal people would react to it, because enemies like the Mather Group and the Cicero family should not be provoked by people with normal IQs.
