Chapter 556: Li Xier(1/2)

The entangled little Anderson was bored in the room for a long time, and suddenly, he thought of Luo Lie. Perhaps only Luo Lie could make Father Simon and Alice recognize each other. Thinking of this, little Anderson suddenly became enlightened and didn't bother to have lunch first, so he rushed to the hotel where Luo Lie stayed.

Luo Lie and Zhao Daxin were not in the room, and little Anderson could only wait in the hotel lobby. Until he was already hungry, he saw Luo Lie and Zhao Daxin coming back from outside talking and laughing.

"Hi, Nuoli, do you have time? I want to tell you something." Little Anderson stood up and waved to Luo Lie.

Luo Lie saw Anderson little, separated from Zhao Daxin, and walked towards Anderson little: "Mr. Anderson little, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Little Anderson called the hotel waiter and ordered a cup of coffee for Luo Lie. Before Luo Lie could sit down, he couldn't wait to say, "Nuoli, I must apologize to you. This morning I will take you and Alice to St. John's Cathedral..."

Before Little Anderson could finish his words, Luo Lie snatched: "No, we should be sorry, Mr. Anderson, I'm really sorry, I let you down. Also, Alice is really uncomfortable, otherwise we will come back with you after the Mass."

Anderson little waved his hand and said, "Oh no, Nori, you misunderstood what I mean. I mean, I took you to St. John's Cathedral for a purpose. Father Simon asked me to take you to St. John's Cathedral for him, and he wanted to see Alice."

Luo Lie couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Then what is his purpose?"

Little Anderson sighed and said, "Alice is his daughter."

Luo Lie said in surprise: "What did you say?"

Anderson little shook his head, sighed again, and said, "Father Simon left Alice and Alice's mother fifteen years ago. I guess he should have done this to be a priest, but he regrets it now. He said that as long as Alice recognizes him as a father, he would rather give up everything he has."

Luo Lie couldn't help but recall the scene when he met Father Simon at St. John's Cathedral in the morning. Father Simon always gave people a sense of absent-mindedness when talking, and his eyes would fall on Alice from time to time. Luo Lie did not understand Father Simon's complex eyes at that time, but now it is easy to understand when recalling it.

"No wonder when he saw him in the morning, his eyes were strange. He kept looking at Alice with his light. I thought... Hey, it turned out to be the reason!" Knowing that he had misunderstood Father Simon, Luo Lie's impression of him changed a lot. He smiled and said, "Since he would rather give up everything than recognize Alice, then he should take the initiative to come to Alice! Alice is not the kind of unwilling girl. As long as Father Simon can truly regret it, Alice will definitely forgive him."

Little Anderson smiled bitterly, "I said something similar to him, but he said he didn't dare. Nuoli, I don't know if you can understand Father Simon's feelings. I am already a father of two children. I know what kind of feelings a father has for his children. Father Simon said he dared not be afraid that Alice would be angry and even would never pay attention to him again, but I think Father Simon felt guilty and he had no face to speak to Alice."

The hotel waiter brought coffee to Luo Lie. Luo Lie added sugar to the coffee, tried the sweetness, and said, "Mr. Anderson, there is an old Chinese saying that the person who tied the bell must be untied, which means that if the person involved hides behind the scenes, the problem will never be solved."

Anderson Jr. said: "I know this truth, but, as friends, are we obliged to do some reconciliation and preparation work so that the father and daughter will not be too embarrassed when they meet again? We have two days in Los Angeles. If we can help Alice and Father Simon meet again, I think it will be a very meaningful thing."

Luo Lie nodded and responded: "You are right, Mr. Anderson, I understand what you mean. I think I will try my best to convince Alice." Although Luo Lie used the two words to try to convince these two words, he knew that these two words could not be used on Alice at all.

Alice is a very tolerant girl and a very independent girl. After more than four years of getting along, Alice has never forced Luo Lie to do anything. On the other hand, Luo Lie is unwilling to impose her wish on Alice. In this matter, all Luo Lie can do is to tell Alice the truth. If Alice is too excited or too sad, then Luo Lie can do one more thing, which is to comfort Alice. In addition, it is redundant.

"Thank you, Nuoli, thank you." Anderson little smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to reject Father Simon, but I agreed to him, but I don't know how to speak to Alice. With your promise, I feel much more relaxed."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson, you are such a kind-hearted person. It is my honor to be your employee."

Anderson Jr. said modestly: "I should feel honored and proud. Without you, the Global Circus should have closed down four years ago." Looking back on that past, Anderson Jr. couldn't help but think of Hu Yiqing, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Nuoli, how did you and your senior brother meet Master Hu? I can't understand why your senior brother treats that evil man so well."

Luo Lie was also stunned and then explained with a smile: "My senior brother is also a kind-hearted person like you. Hu Yiqing harmed the circus, and our Peng family ban suffered losses as well. However, Mr. Anderson, we admit that the losses and blows suffered by Peng family ban were far lower than you and your Global Circus. Therefore, my senior brother's hatred for Hu Yiqing is also far lower than that of you and your Little Anderson. Therefore, when we met Hu Yiqing by chance, his situation was so miserable. The elder brother's compassion overcame hatred, so he naturally took measures to treat Hu Yiqing well."

"Alice, accompany me outside, okay?" After seeing off little Anderson, Luo Lie knocked on Alice's room door.

When Luo Lie knocked on the door, Alice was about to go to bed and take a nap. When he heard Luo Lie's proposal, Alice was immediately sleepy and agreed happily.

Behind the hotel is a garden, which is lunch break, and there are very few people in the garden.

"Alice, I want to ask you, do you want to see your father?"

Alice once told Luo Lie that Celina promised that when Alice got married, she would definitely invite her father to her wedding scene. Therefore, Alice understood Luo Lie's words as Luo Lie wanted to propose to her. "Oh, I swear to God that if possible, I don't want to wait for an extra minute." Although Alice was generous, her cheeks were already covered with redness.

"Actually, you have seen your father." Luo Lie certainly did not have the idea of ​​proposing to Alice. He just didn't want Alice to feel too abrupt and planned to tell Alice step by step that Father Simon was her father.

Alice couldn't help but be stunned, then giggled, "You mean I've seen my father when I was just born, are you?"

Luo Lie sighed and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I mean, you have met your father this morning."

Alice was extremely smart and suddenly thought of Father Simon. She opened her mouth in surprise, put her hands on her cheeks, shook her head and said in surprise: "Oh my God! How is this possible? No, Nuoli, you are teasing me, right?"

Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Just Mr. Anderson just left, he came here to tell me the news and asked me to convince you that you would meet Father Simon and recognize him father and daughter. I think this is not wrong, but I don't plan to convince you anything. Alice, you are an independent girl. No matter what decision you make, I will stand firmly on your side."

Alice was in a state of confusion, covered her face and squatted down, sobbing, "I thought he was dead, I thought Celena said just to comfort me, but I really didn't expect that he was still alive and lived well. I thought, he must have abandoned Celena and me to become a priest. I don't want to have such a father. I feel ashamed of this. Nuoli, can you understand me?"

Luo Lie then squatted in front of Alice, put his hands on Alice's shoulders, and said, "I can understand you, Alice, I said, no matter what decision you make, I will stand by your side."

Alice fell into Luo Lie's arms and said helplessly: "But, I hate him so much, why do you want to meet him? Nuoli, tell me what I should do."

Luo Lie held Alice and patted Alice's arm gently, and said softly: "It is human nature to hate him. When you were very young, he left you and Celine. No matter what the reason, for the past ten years, he has never heard from him and has not fulfilled his responsibility as a father at all times. So, Alice, you have the right to hate him. However, blood is thicker than water. For more than ten years, you have been missing your father all the time. So, when you know that Father Simon is your father, even if you hate him, you still want to see him again, which is normal."

After a moment of pause, Luo Lie continued: "Hate or not hate, see or not, you finally have a choice, but I can only watch others call out their parents and someone agrees..."

Alice raised her tears and looked at Luo Lie, and said weakly: "I'm sorry, Nuoli, I'm the one who made you sad."

Luo Lie smiled faintly and said, "I'm not sad, Alice, I just want to tell you that when your relatives leave the world and go to heaven, you don't even have the chance to hate him."

Alice nodded and replied, "I understand, Nuoli, thank you, but I still want to ask you, are you willing to accompany me to see Father Simon?"

Luo Lie said: "Of course I do it! But I hope Father Simon can come to see you on his own initiative."

Alice said: "I'm still very hesitant, Nuoli, I don't know if I should call him father when I meet."

Luo Lie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know, Alice, I can't answer your question. I only know that when you can call him father, you have forgiven him from the bottom of your heart."

Alice sighed quietly, "Will I forgive him? Should I forgive him? Nuoli, my heart is so confused. I know that you can't help me, but I can't help but want your help. Nuoli, tell me, should I forgive him?"

Luo Lie sighed and said, "It's simple to hate someone, but it's extremely difficult to forgive someone, even his own father. Alice, you are a brave girl. I think you can try the most difficult choice."

Alice buried her head in Luo Lie's arms and murmured: "I don't know if I can do it. I really don't know how brave I have. Nuoli, I really want to see Celena now, but I don't want to leave you, even for a minute or a second."

Luo Lie hugged Alice tightly, put his mouth against Alice's ear, and whispered: "Alice has grown up and cannot leave the problem to Celena. You must learn to face it bravely. Whether you can forgive Father Simon or not, Celena will not blame you."

Alice stretched out her hand, stroked Luo Lie's cheek, and said, "I can understand your words as if you are unwilling to leave me? The same goes for a minute, right?"

Luo Lie smiled, held the hand that Alice pressed on his face, and said, "Of course! Alice, if you have to go back to see Celena, I will definitely be with you."

Alice said: "Thank you, Nuoli, I feel much better with your comfort. Let's go back and rest. In a few hours, we should perform on stage. I think the audience in Los Angeles is still waiting for our "Dull" program to be successfully staged!"

After sending Alice back to the room, Luo Lie immediately went to the hotel where Little Anderson was, found Little Anderson, told him about Alice's opinion, and asked Little Anderson to tell Father Simon that if he really wanted to see Alice again, he would better come in person instead of asking Alice to take Alice to St. John's Cathedral.

Anderson Jr. agreed, saying, "Yes, I agree with you very much. Father Simon is the one who did the wrong thing. He should have come and said sorry to Alice."

Luo Lie said: "If his attitude is sincere enough, I think Alice is likely to forgive him. I know Alice. She is a kind and open-minded girl. Although she also knows how difficult it is to forgive someone, she does not wince and she is willing to try."

Anderson little sighed: "Yes, hating someone is not easy, and if you choose to forgive, it will be even more difficult. Just like I have been to Naduo and Hu Yiqing, I have never let go of them for so many years, and I want to tear them to pieces. This feeling is very bad, but if I ask me to forgive them, I will not be able to do it."

Luo Lie said: "When you learned about Hu Yiqing's news, you did not ask about his whereabouts, which means you don't want to continue to punish him. Mr. Anderson, it's not easy for you to do this."

Anderson couldn't help but mention Zhao Daxin and said, "But, your senior brother... Alas, I still can't accept his attitude towards Hu Yiqing. Forget it, I won't mention these unhappy things anymore. Nuoli, thank you for your help. I will convey your opinions to Father Simon as soon as possible."

Luo Lie said goodbye and left. He had just taken two steps, but turned around and called Little Anderson, and asked, "Mr. Anderson, I'll take the liberty to ask you, do you still have tickets for the evening performance? Oh, that's right, a few friends from Kingsoft came to Los Angeles and wanted to watch our performance tonight. I'm worried that they can't buy tickets anymore."

Little Anderson nodded proudly and replied: "Nuoli, your concerns are not unnecessary. The tickets for this show were sold out three days ago. However, the box left by the organizer can help you solve problems. Moreover, there is no need to bother others to increase their seats, because I am going to go to St. John's Cathedral to find Father Simon." Little Anderson finished speaking, took out an exquisite metal card from his shirt pocket and handed it to Luo Lie.

Luo Lie said happily: "Thank you so much to Mr. Anderson. How much do you need to pay for this box? I'll ask the senior brother to pay you."

Little Anderson laughed and said, "Nuoli, I don't like to listen to you like this. Do you think of Mr. Anderson as a ticket seller? This box was provided to me for free by the organizer, and I don't want to sell it for money."

Luo Lie put the metal sign in his pocket and smiled at Anderson, "Okay, when the performance is over, I will treat you to a midnight snack with my senior brother."

Anderson Jr. said: "Well, this idea sounds great. It would be even better if I could have two drinks."

The second extra performance of the Universal Circus in Los Angeles was scheduled at 7 o'clock in the evening. Before 6:30, Luo Lie waited at the entrance of the theater. Not long after, a black car slowly drove over, and Dong Biao jumped down without waiting for the car to stop.

"How is it? Have you got the ticket?"

Luo Lie handed the metal card to Dong Biao and said, "The No. 9 private room was left to Mr. Anderson, a circus. He had something to do at night, so he left the private room to me."

Dong Biao patted Luo Lie on the shoulder and said, "You do it beautifully! The private room is hidden, and it seems more real to do the work."

Luo Lie said: "I hope that every move we make now has been closely watched by a pair of eyes in the distance."

Dong Biao smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you can't even do this, then how can those oxtails pose a threat to us?"

The performance that night was still exciting. Just like the performance the day before, the "Dull" performed by the brothers of the Peng family was crazyly sought after by the audience.

Amid the thunderous applause, in the last row of seats leaning against each other, there were two people who just slapped symbolically, and they didn't seem to be shocked by the show. The two of them were dressed in costumes, but their faces showed their Chinese identity.

"Brother Zhou, you are practicing hidden weapons. What do you think of the two people on the stage's flying knife skills?" A guy with a slightly short head and solid body on the left slapped his hands casually and asked the other person.

The man on the right is much taller and thin. He has two beards and paired with a pair of hanging eyes, giving people a strange feeling of being indecipheredly. "It's okay! The basic skills of that elderly man are stronger than that of the young man, but the young man's talent is pretty good. If you practice for a few years, you will have some achievements."

The man from Aidun said, "If Brother Zhou fights with one against two, how likely will he have to win?"

The tall and thin man snorted coldly and replied, "Not much, it's only 100%."

The man from Aidun said, "In this way, the second in command of Anliangtang must be a false move!"

The tall and thin man said coldly: "How can I see it?"

The man from the short dun smiled and said, "It is indeed a good idea to hide the rebels in a circus and bring them back to New York without knowing it. But how can these two people protect the rebels?"

The tall and thin man sneered: "Anliangtang can arrange experts and secretly protect them."

The man from Aidun smiled contemptuously and said, "Since you are hiding here, then the masters of Anliangtang must be kept at a considerable distance from the rebel party. Only the two people on the stage can protect the rebel party's actions. Since Brother Zhou is very sure to fight against two, then just need the brothers to lead the secret masters away, Brother Zhou can get it with one blow, right?"

The tall and thin man narrowed his eyes and nodded and responded: "This is true."

The man from Aidun shook his head slightly and said, "How can Cao Bin of Anliangtang not know about such a mistake? Therefore, brothers concluded that the people all the way to Los Angeles were probably suspected of being suspicious."

The tall and thin man said, "Mr. Li has long made a judgment on this. Cao Bin acts cautiously and will not rashly hand over the rebellion to others for responsibility."

The man Aidun laughed and said, "If Lord Li is so sure, why should I send you and my brother to chase Dong Biao to Los Angeles? Brother Zhou, it's not that brothers think too much, but I can't say that in addition to our team of men, Lord Li may have other arrangements!"

The tall and thin man had no expression on his face, but just groaned, but stopped talking.

The audience began to leave the venue, and the tall and short two men were like ordinary audience members. They walked out of the theater with the flow of people and disappeared at the other end of the street.

Dong Biao in the No. 9 box was not in a hurry to leave the stage. An hour ago, he had already handed over the guests he wanted to protect to Luo Lie. Luo Lie took advantage of the time before the stage performance to find a familiar makeup artist, dressed up the guest as a foreigner, and hid it among the foreign actors who had finished the show and sent it back to the hotel.

Hotels run by foreigners attach great importance to security. Every security personnel is armed with guns and ammunition. Although the oxtails can also be mixed into the hotel, it is not easy to break through the solid wood door in the hotel room. It is even more impossible to break through the windows of the room. First, the floor is high and you can't climb up without any special skills. Even if you climb up, the iron-framed glass windows made by foreigners can't climb into one person. In other words, as long as the guest enters the hotel room and ensures that the door is not opened at will, then safety can be completely guaranteed.

Several brothers who were stalking back to the No. 9 box one after another, one of them reported to Dong Biaohui, saying that they saw two suspicious people in the corner of the last row of the theater.
To be continued...
