Chapter 614 Gold Coast(1/2)

When she was completely conquered by Cao Bin, she really wanted to express her love to Cao Bin directly, but she was worried that once she said something but was rejected by Cao Bin, the most beautiful fantasy in her heart would be shattered, which was hard for Helen to accept. So in hesitation, the explosion occurred, and while the explosion occurred, Cao Bin threw her to the ground and used her body to protect Helen without any harm. At that moment, Helen felt warm and happy, and at the same time, she was even more afraid that she would lose the opportunity to get along with Cao Bin after being rejected because of her confession.

Then, I can only pretend to be like this.

The brothers in the hall split the few wooden boxes left in half, speeding up the burning speed. Seeing that the fires disappeared, and the onlookers had dissipated, more than seventy brothers in the hall began to pack up their belongings and prepare to evacuate.

Dong Biao, who had made the time, finally got the opportunity to cause trouble again.

"Helen, are you planning to take my car or Tom's car?" Dong Biao's smile could not tell how weird it was.

Helen closed the hair on her forehead and smiled, "Tom has been tired all day long. Do you still have the heart to let him drive?"

Dong Biao's smile was still strange, and he said, "Even if Tom is so tired that he can't open his eyes, he can drive the car steadily. However, I hope you can get on my car because..."

Before Dong Biao finished speaking, Cao Bin had already driven to Helen's side, honked the horn, pointed to the passenger seat beside him, and Cao Bin said, "Get on the bus, Helen, let's go back first, free up the car and come back to pick up people!"

Before getting on the car, Helen happily grimaced at Dong Biao.

Three other brothers sat in the back seat, which also meant that Helen lost the opportunity to be alone with Cao Bin, but this was also good, so she could not tell whether she should confess or not.

As the car was driving on the road, Cao Bin considered Helen's safety issues and said, "Helen, take the liberty to ask you a privacy question. If you are inconvenient to answer, you don't have to pay attention to me."

Helen replied with a smile: "You are not asking me about my age?"

Cao Bin said: "Oh, of course not. I want to ask if you live alone in Kingsoft?"

Helen's long-stabilized heart rate rose again because of Cao Bin's words, and a series of fantasies emerged in her mind. What does this mean? Is he confirming whether I am single?

But seeing that Helen did not answer directly, Cao Bin quickly explained: "I am worried about your safety. Helen, the group of people who dropped the previous batch of opium should have known at this time that we have joined forces to destroy a larger batch of opium. It is difficult to ensure that they will not hurt you because of anger. If you live alone, it will be difficult for my brother in the hall to protect you. It is better..." Cao Bin hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up a lot of determination before continuing: "If you live alone, why not move to my hall? I can arrange for Sister Zhou to accompany you."

Obviously, Helen misunderstood Cao Bin's meaning. Fortunately, he was in the dark, and Helen's embarrassment would not be noticed. "Thank you for your concern, Tom, but I think they will not be so crazy that they dare to take revenge against a reporter."

Cao Bin took out a cigar and was about to pad the match. Suddenly, he realized that it was a rude thing to light a cigar without permission in front of the lady. He quickly turned his head and looked at Helen and asked, "Can I take a few chews? I didn't have to take two chews of cigars all day today. I'm really sorry." After getting Helen's consent, Cao Bin lit the cigar and took a deep breath and said, "Helen, I must remind you that the group of people are really crazy. They have killed two people, one of them is Superintendent Carl of the Police Department, and the other is a little brother in my hall. Next, I really don't know who they will extend their claws to. You could not intervene in this matter because of me, you wrote that report, so I must be responsible for your safety."

Helen Powell actually accepted Cao Bin's suggestion very happily. Being able to live in Anliang Hall means that he can have more opportunities and time to meet and spend with Cao Bin. However, for a woman, she can never overcome the reserve in her heart. So Helen subconsciously rejected Cao Bin for the second time.

Cao Bin was a little disappointed and sighed softly, saying, "I can understand your difficulties. Helen, living in a strange environment is indeed an unpleasant thing. Moreover, almost all my halls are men, which is even more inconvenient for you. Well, I'll think of another way."

Helenton felt regretful and secretly complained about why Cao Bin didn't hold on for a while. But this was just an inner thought after all, and of course it could not be revealed on the surface. "I live in a single dormitory arranged by the newspaper. I think it should be safe there. Tom, you really don't have to worry about my safety. I am a reporter, and I just did what a reporter should do. Those people won't do anything to me."

If Dong Biao heard this, he would immediately retort, but Cao Bin was far more influenced by Western culture than Dong Biao. At this time, he just smiled faintly and did not continue to argue with Helen's words.

The car quickly drove back to the hall. There were only less than twenty brothers who came back. If they wanted to carry all the brothers back, the cars had to go back and forth twice. Therefore, in order to save time, the car did not drive into the gate. Everyone got out of the car at the door, changed the brothers at the hall to drive, and turned around and went back to pick up the other brothers.

At the beginning of the year, in order to track the case of train robbers, Helen visited Anliangtang many times to give an exclusive interview to Cao Bin, but every time he came, he was blocked from the door. Today he finally had the opportunity to walk into this mysterious courtyard. Helen couldn't help but look around and exaggerately exaggeratedly, "The environment here is so beautiful. It should be a very happy thing to live here."

Dong Biao, who arrived at the hall at almost the same time, didn't know what Cao Bin said to Helen when he was on the road. At this time, he just subconsciously continued: "Since you like it, why not move here! If you wrote that report, you might be retaliated against. If you live in our hall, you can not only enjoy this beautiful environment, but also protect your safety."

Helen responded happily: "Are you saying true?"

Dong Biao said: "Of course it's true!"

Helen said happily: "Then I'll move here tomorrow."

Although Cao Bin, who was walking aside, seemed to be calm on the surface, he felt like he had knocked over Wuwei Bottle in his heart. What kind of routine is this? Why did I refuse after requesting twice, and Dong Biao just said casually, and then Helen agreed?

Luo Lie returned to the entrance of New York. When he set out for Miami, Luo Lie handed over two handwritten letters written by Father Simon to Kevin Gordon and the Seminary to Zhao Daming for preservation. After returning from Miami, Luo Lie forgot to ask for it and followed Cao Bin and Dong Biao to the owner of the main hall. Therefore, he had to return to the entrance to find Zhao Daming to ask for the two handwritten letters.

However, Zhao Daming was not in the hall.

"Brother Daming went out to do business." The brother at the New York Hall responded to Luo Lie: "Before leaving, he told me that if you come back, please stay in the hall for two days first and discuss with you something important."

"Main thing?" Luo Lie couldn't think of anything else that Zhao Daming could do: "Did he not explain anything important?"

The brother in the hall responded: "I didn't say it, but looking at Brother Ming's expression, it doesn't seem like a bad thing."

Luo Lie thought about it and said, "What is Qin Gang doing now? I might as well play with him for two days first and wait for Brother Ming by the way."

The brother in the hall said, "Brother Dagang was just given the word by Mr. Gu a few days ago, and was arranged by Brother Daming to be the captain of the freight brigade. Now he is busy, it is difficult to see his figure."

Luo Lie had no choice but to stay at the hall.

Two days later, Zhao Daming returned and heard that Luo Lie lived in the hall. He didn't care about the fatigue of the journey and immediately sent someone to invite Luo Lie to his office. "Drink tea or coffee?" Zhao Daming was energetic, but his face was a little dark, showing his physical fatigue.

"Drink tea, the coffee thing is too bitter." Luo Lie sat on the sofa casually, stretched, yawned, and said, "I heard you have something important to discuss with me?"

Zhao Daming took action and made a cup of tea for Luo Lie. He brought it to the coffee table with a cup of coffee he had just cooked and replied: "Yes, have you invited you before he just came back?"

Luo Lie smiled, and without being polite to Zhao Daming, he asked straight to the point: "What's the point?"

"We brothers join forces to steal the baby back." Zhao Daming answered Luo Lie with a relaxed tone, and at the same time picked up the coffee and sipped it, saying, "It's very exciting! Are you interested?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Although my master is a genius of the thief, I have not learned any stealing skills from him. Brother Ming, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time."

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "I know, although Uncle Gui accepted you as his disciple, he never thought of taking you into the thief sect, so he didn't plan to teach you the thief sect skills. However, the treasure we are going to steal this time is very special. Do you really want to know what that treasure is?"

Luo Lie came up with curiosity and couldn't help asking: "It's not that jade seal, right?"

Zhao Daming pretended to be mysterious and shook his head slightly.

Luo Lie said anxiously: "Just say it! Don't keep it in hiding, okay?"

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "That baby is a human being, and he is also a woman, a young and beautiful woman."

Luo Lie was shocked and said, "Stealing someone? Stealing a woman? Brother Ming, are you going to be prepared to die? If Mr. Gu finds out, wouldn't you be skinned and suck your tendons?"

Zhao Daming smiled bitterly and said, "Where do you want to go? If it is really what you imagined, there is no need for Mr. Gu to punish him. The tigress in your Daming family is enough for you Daming to drink a pot."

Luo Lie smiled embarrassedly and said, "What's going on? Brother Ming, I suddenly became interested, hurry up and talk to me."

Zhao Daming picked up the coffee again and took two sips slowly. Seeing that Luo Lie was already anxious, he spoke, "Actually, this is also the task assigned by the head of the chief..."

Luo Lie was stunned and blurted out: "The mission assigned by the head of the hall?"

Zhao Daming nodded and continued: "There is a Senate member in Washington. His daughter is about the same age as you. She was cheated away. He asked the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the

Luo Lie said: "Do you know where that girl was deceived?"

Zhao Daming said: "Of course I know, otherwise, if the United States of America is so big, just with our few manpowers, where can we find her?"

Luo Lie was a little disappointed and said, "What's so exciting? Just find that girl and bring it back!"

Zhao Daming sighed lightly and said, "But the place where the girl was deceived was very special."

Luo Lie became energetic again, quickly put down the teacup he had just picked up and asked, "Where is it?"

Zhao Daming smiled faintly and replied: "A island in the Caribbean."

Luo Lie was shocked and said, "Are you saying that girl was robbed by a pirate?"

Zhao Daming shook his head and sighed: "Although there are many pirates in that place, the person who cheated that girl has nothing to do with the pirates. Alas, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is in the prime of her. When she was shot into the chest by Cupid's little golden arrow, how could she have any reason? She went to pursue the so-called love with the liar in a confused manner."

Luo Lie said: "Whether it was robbed or deceived, how did that MP know the whereabouts of his daughter?"

After Zhao Daming got up and went to the desk, opened the safe, took out a letter, returned to the sofa and sat down, and handed the letter to Luo Lie. "They deceived the daughter of the MP and used this as a threat to the MP to act according to their orders. It has to be said that they have great eyesight, and the MP who was threatened has a very deep background and has an influence in the Senate as much as the Speaker, but the request they made was something that the MP could never agree to."

Luo Lie unfolded the letter and browsed it.

The letter is written in English and the content is very simple. There is an island called Vincent, which has always been controlled by the British Empire. However, the people on the island fantasized about independence and hoped that the Mr. Congressman could put pressure on the American government to support them in resisting the British Empire's rule.

"Those people are really stupid. Don't they know that the United States of America and the British Empire always wore pairs of pants?" Luo Lie read the letter, put it back in the envelope, and handed it back to Zhao Daming, saying: "The one who cheated Mr. Congressman's daughter must be a white man, maybe he was a British man. What do you think about them? How could they have the reason for their own people to resist the rule of their own country?"

Zhao Daming said: "It's nothing more than the word "interest"! Although they belong to the ruling class, they are not rulers. If they can overthrow the rule of the British Empire, then the benefits they will gain will be greater. This sentence was an explanation entrusted by Mr. Luo to convey to me. I have not yet been able to fully understand this sentence, but I think that since it is the ruling class who believes, then there must be his reason."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "That's right, everything is always inseparable from the word "interest". The Lord of the Chief Executive agreed to the councillor's request for help. Is it different because of the word "interest?"

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "That's right! I just came back from Washington and met the congressman. He is now planning to participate in the gubernatorial election in California. When we get his daughter back, and he can run for the gubernatorial election in California. Then, whether it is Kingsoft or Los Angeles, as long as the land we like on the West Coast, you can get it. Mr. Gu said that in less than three years, the land price on the West Coast can at least double. Brother, this is a huge business! You can make a profit that your glass factory can't make in five years without much effort."

Luo Lie does not understand the land business and cannot make accurate judgments on Zhao Daming's expectations. But from a sense of view, he thinks that Zhao Daming is still a bit exaggerated. The glass products factory is still an industry at all. As long as he does it steadily and makes the products better than others, he will not have to worry about not making money. It may be credible to say that the money he earns in a year is not as good as a piece of land for trading, but Luo Lie is not willing to admit it if he kills him.

However, this is just a small matter and it cannot affect Luo Lie's choice.

Thinking about it, even if Zhao Daming was brave enough, he would never dare to lie about the title of the Lord of the Chief Executive. Since it was the task assigned by the Lord of the Chief Executive, then any brother in the hall has the obligation and responsibility to actively complete the task. Based on this idea, Luo Lie happily agreed to Zhao Daming: "Whether to make money or not, how much money can you make is what you masters need to consider. I am the master who only cares about spending money. Brother Daming, just say, what are you planning to do?"

Zhao Daming looked happy and said, "So, are you willing to join forces with Brother Ming to make a vote?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "You say it was a task assigned by the head of the chief zodiac. Can I refuse it?"

Zhao Daming said: "With you help me, this matter will be more than halfway. Vincent Island produces sugar a lot. Let's dress up as a sugar vendor, go there to talk about business, find the girl and bring her back."

Luo Lie said: "You pretend to be the boss, and I pretend to be the follower?"

Zhao Daming waved his hand and said, "You Daming brother hasn't read a few books. If you don't have that aura, you can't pretend to be the boss. The role of this boss is you! As for me, if you can play a good follower, you are already Amitabha."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "To be honest, I didn't really play the role of the rich young master last time I went to Miami. This time I just took the opportunity to enjoy it."

Zhao Daming immediately got into the role, bowed and asked for instructions: "Boss Luo, who else do you need to bring with you except the younger Zhao Daming?"

Luo Lie thought about it and said that a familiar name would jump out. The one who is most suitable to play the follower is definitely not Zhao Daming, but the quirky little Gu Ting.

Vincent Island is located east of the Caribbean Sea, which is less than 200 nautical miles away from the South American continent.

There is no direct cruise ship to Vincent Island from New York. You can only take a boat to the South American continent first, and then transfer to the ship to board the island. However, when you go to the South American continent by boat, you must burn an incense stick before boarding the ship, and pray that God will not encounter those deadly pirates when the ship sails through the Caribbean.

"There is another route to choose." Zhao Daming expanded the map, pointed at the location of Cuba with a pencil, and said: "We first take the train to Miami, and then take a boat from Miami to Cuba. Mr. Congressman has a very good connection in Cuba, which can help us borrow military ships and arrive directly on Vincent Island."

Ten years ago, the United States of America defeated the Spanish Empire, drove Spanish troops out of Cuba, and supported Cuba to become an independent country. Independence was actually just a different way of colonization. The United States of America maintained its power to interfere in Cuba's internal affairs and established four military bases in Cuba, the largest of which was located in Santiago, the southernmost part of Cuba.

If you are outside, the king will not accept the order. The chiefs of those military bases will not care about your local government affairs and laws. As long as it is not too out of order, the headquarters will turn a blind eye, just because if something goes wrong in the local area, they still have to rely on the power of the military base to calm down. If you cannot give enough space for profit, who will rush up to fight to the death at a critical moment? Therefore, it is not very difficult to borrow a ship with a military background from the military base through connections.

"This route is good." Although Luo Lie does not understand the maritime map, he can also see that starting from Santiago to Vincent Island can sail along the coastlines of many large islands such as Haidi, Dominican and Puerto Rico. In addition, with the military's banner, it not only ensures the safety of the navigation, but also effectively deters those pirates. "Then let's go to Miami first."

After making the route choice to Miami, Luo Lie couldn't help but think of the quirky little Gu Ting. However, half a month has passed, and no one knows whether Gu Ting is still in Miami or not. Even if he is still there, he may not be able to meet him. It's strange to say that Gu Ting is clearly Li Xilu's man and belongs to Luo Lie's hostile camp. However, every time he thinks of him, Luo Lie not only has no hatred, but he always feels that he owes him a little.

Seeing Luo Lie making a choice, Zhao Daming subconsciously teased: "Aren't you afraid that the Mosico gangs in Miami will cause trouble for you?"
