Chapter 556: Li Xier(2/2)
"Didn't you find any suspicious signs?" Dong Biao frowned. According to his estimate, there were definitely more than one pair of ox tails that came to keep an eye on him.
However, those brothers shook their heads in confusion.
At this moment, Zhao Dashinluo, who was still in the future and removed his makeup, entered the private room.
"How is it? Is it going well?" Dong Biao waved his hand and sent several of his brothers out of the box.
Luo Lie nodded and replied: "Everything is normal."
Zhao Daxin sat down, regardless of whether the water on the table had been drunk by others, so he took it up and fucked it. He put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and said, "Brother Biao, I always feel something is wrong. Although the other party dared not take action in the city, it would not be so calm, right?"
Dong Biao nodded and said, "I have the same feeling. There are only two people who come to the theater to follow us tonight. His grandmother's one is too underestimated to me, Dong Biao, right?"
Luo Lie said: "Maybe they are all hiding in the dark."
Zhao Daxin said: "In our Qing Dynasty, they may be able to do it, but this is America. They are not familiar with the place. If they want to monitor us throughout the process, they will inevitably reveal a lot of clues. However, we have no feeling of being followed along the way. Brother Biao, I always feel that it is too weird!"
Luo Liezhe said, "This is not a bad thing! If they don't follow us, it means they don't pay attention to us at all, or they are sure that we are pretending to be a feint, so we will just follow the flow and send the guests away."
Dong Biao thought for a moment, suddenly laughed and said, "Don't think about so many things for now. Anyway, when the guests enter the hotel, it is safe before the circus leaves. So let's just wait and see what kind of trouble they can make in the next step. Okay, it's still late. I'm about to leave, and you should take off your makeup and go back to the hotel."
In the backstage of the theater, Alice had already taken off her makeup, but when she saw Luo Lie walking in, she hurriedly met her: "Nuoli, where have you been?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I'm going to swear, I've gone with my senior brother."
Alice smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson just now came, but he couldn't find you, so he told me that Father Simon has been waiting in our hotel lobby. Noli, I was a little nervous and regretted agreeing to him."
Luo Lie held Alice's waist and came to the mirror. While removing his makeup, he said, "Alice, you don't need to be nervous. To be honest, Father Simon should be nervous."
Alice helped Luo Lie wipe off a piece of oil paint on her chin, leaned against Luo Lie, looked at Luo Lie in the mirror, and sighed quietly: "Nuoli, do you know? Sometimes I often think how good it would be if I could live with you on a deserted island. In this way, I will see you when you swear."
Luo Lie used Mandarin when she said sheep. Alice obviously didn't understand the meaning of sheep. It made Luo Lie burst out laughing and said, "Alice, you are really not ashamed. Do you know what sheep means? It's urination!"
Alice was stunned for a moment, then giggled, pounding Luo Lie's shoulder while laughing, and shouting: "Nuoli, you are so bad."
Luo Liema took off his makeup and followed everyone back to the hotel. In the lobby, he met Father Simon.
As Luo Lie said, it should be the one who was nervous that Father Simon was right. But seeing Alice walking into the hotel lobby with Luo Lie's arm, Father Simon hurriedly stood up and prepared to greet him, but he didn't want to scrape the tablecloth on the tablecloth and rolled a cup of coffee on the tablecloth and a napkin box on the ground. The hotel lobby was originally very quiet, so the sound of the coffee cup and napkin box on the ground was very harsh.
Father Simon wanted to turn around and help the waiter clean up the mess, but he was worried that Alice would leave. He was in a dilemma for a moment and was stunned in the distance.
Seeing this, Luo Lie greeted Father Simon in time: "Hi, Simon, I'm so happy to see you." He also didn't want to be so arrogant. When Luo Lie greeted, he deliberately hid Simon's identity as a priest.
After hearing Luo Lie's greeting, he saw Alice walking towards him with Luo Lie's company. Father Simon was relieved. The waiter had cleaned the mess on the ground, and Father Simon also welcomed Luo Lie and Alice in front of his seat.
"Alice, my daughter, are you okay?" Simon's voice trembled as soon as he spoke. After a sentence was finished, his old eyes were filled with tears.
But Alice had already collapsed, plunged into Luo Lie's arms, and sobbed: "I've been waiting for this greeting for eighteen years... Simon, why did you leave Me and Celena, why are you so cruel and never going to find us? Why did you suddenly appear and disrupt my life? Simon, I hate you!"
Father Simon said sadly: "No, Alice, it's not eighteen years, but fifteen years. When I left you and Celena, you were only three years old... At that time, I had to accompany you every day. No matter how tired I was during the day, as long as I returned home and saw your angel-like smile, my fatigue would be wiped out. I don't explain the reason why I left you and Celena, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I just want to say to you, sorry, my child, I have not fulfilled my father's responsibilities. Alice, you have the right to hate me." After that, Father Simon closed his eyes slightly, and two lines of tears burst out with his eyes.
Alice left Luo Lie's arms, looked at Father Simon, shook her head slowly, and said, "Simon, you'd better go back. I think I still can't accept you. I'm used to life without a father. I only have two relatives, Celena and my Noli, I can't share a redundant relationship. Simon, I'm sorry." After Alice said that, she turned to Luo Lie, "Nuoli, send me back to the room. If you have anything to say to Simon, you can ask Simon to wait for you here."
Luo Lie then understood that Alice must have something to convey to Father Simon through herself.
Sure enough, when I went upstairs, Alice opened her heart to Luo Lie.
"Nuoli, do you know why I'm in a hurry to leave? I'm already soft-hearted. If I stay for another minute, I think I might forgive him." Alice held Luo Lie's arm and shook it while walking. This was Alice's habit. When she made this move, it means that she should be in a good mood. "But, I can't forgive him so quickly, it's unfair to Celena. Nuoli, do you know how much I hope Celena can forgive him?"
Luo Lie said: "Alice, you are a good girl who can consider others, but have you ever thought about it? Celina doesn't want you to suffer any grievances for her."
Alice said: "No, Nuoli, I can feel that Celena still loves Simon. It has been fifteen years, and Celena and Simon have been separated for fifteen years. She originally had the opportunity to remarry, but she didn't."
Luo Lie said: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe Celena rejects other men just for you."
Alice exaggeratedly and exclaimed: "Oh, God, do you know Celena or I know Celena? Noli, do you dare to bet with me?"
Luo Lie shook his head and smiled, "Of course, you know Celena better, so I dare not bet with you."
Alice smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is almost the same. Noli, you will ask Simon for me later, is he really willing to abandon everything he has for me and Celena?"
Luo Lie said: "A question and answer are simple, but the question is, if he gives a positive answer, how can he prove that he is not lying."
Celinena smiled charmingly and said, "Isn't that simple? If he really wants, let him leave St. John's Cathedral and wait for us in New York."
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "This is a good idea."

At the same time, in Cao Bin's study on the second floor of Anliangtangkou, Jinshan, a fair man in his thirties with golden silk eyes was talking to Cao Bin. Cao Bin looked relaxed, smoking a cigar, savoring fragrant tea, and talking to the fair man about the domestic situation.
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, I, Cao Bin, admire every member of your organization very much. Thirteen years ago, I met Mr. Sun of your organization. At that time, the building was still flat. The owner of the main hall lived on a dilapidated small building in our Jinshan Chinatown. I still clearly remember the door number of the small dilapidated building, No. 36, New Luzon Lane. You don't know how shabby that small dilapidated building is. Just talking about the steps at the door, it is so cramped that it can only accommodate one person. In that environment, I listened to Mr. Sun's speech, and rekindled hope for the future of the motherland. If it weren't for Mr. Sun, I, Cao Bin, would probably still live like a walking corpse, and I only know how to fight and kill all day long."
The fair-skinned man said, "Brother Bin, please call me Gonglin. You call me Mr. Xu so much."
Cao Bin smiled and nodded, sniffed a cigar, and then said, "It's a joke. Our master of the chief lord asked me to be a bodyguard for Mr. Sun. At first, I didn't let go of the bargaining with the chief lord at all. But after completing the bodyguard mission, I forgot to ask the chief lord for commission, but instead paid the money to help the chief lord establish this Anliang Hall."
Xu Gonglin helped his golden silk-edged eyes and smiled, "Brother Bin must have never expected that today thirteen years later, Bin would return to his old career and become my Xu Gonglin's bodyguard."
Cao Bin said: "This is a bad thing! For thirteen years, I have always hoped to contribute another effort to your organization. Today I finally look forward to the opportunity."
Xu Gonglin shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Bin is such a noble man who forgot about it. Four years ago, if Brother Bin hadn't helped him, how could Gonglin get that list smoothly?"
Cao Bin waved his hand and smiled, "It's not that I forgot, it's really that something is too simple and not worth mentioning."
Xu Gonglin said: "By the way, Brother Bin, last time you said that there was a spy from the Internal Machinery Bureau in your Anliang Hall. Has this traitor been found out?"
Cao Bin smiled and said, "It's been four years. If Brother Bin doesn't even have this ability, how can he gain a foothold in the world? Okay, don't talk about it, so you'd better tell me about the domestic situation."
Xu Gonglin nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said, "According to the news from the palace, the old woman Cixi's body was no longer good, from one year to half a year, it would definitely return to the west and ascend to heaven. All forces in the court were busy with the layout of the post-Cixi era. More and more people had seen the inevitable demise of the Qing government, and their contacts with us became more and more frequent. However, the closer to dawn, the darker the sky was, and those stubborn people were trying their best to counterattack, among which, the internal bureau was the most rampant!"
Cao Bin smiled contemptuously and said, "It's that Li Xier? Four years ago, if it weren't for your words, I joined forces with Lao Gu from New York, and would have gotten rid of him long ago."
Xu Gonglin said: "Last time, it was because that list was too important that I urged Brother Bin to secretly go to Chen Cang and try not to provoke him. But today it is different. My mission has been completed. Now I can be a bait in Brother Bin's hand, and lead the generals of Li Xier and more than 100 masters of the Internal Machinery Bureau and annihilate them in one fell swoop. It can be regarded as avenging the comrades who have been sacrificed under the clutches of the Internal Machinery Bureau for many years!"
Cao Bin took a sip of tea, put down the cigar in his hand, came to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, stretched out his fingers and cut a cross in front of his chest, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xu's innocent heart is admirable and touching. I, Cao Bin, swear to the sky that I will definitely help Mr. Xu fulfill my wish this time. The hawks and dogs in the Internal Machinery Bureau owe me too much blood debt to the Chinese nation, and if you come, you will be at peace. I, Cao Bin, take this opportunity to use American guns and bullets to let them rest in peace on this land of America forever."
Xu Gonglin was a little excited, and then stood up, stood shoulder to shoulder with Cao Bin in front of the window, clenched his fists and roared in a low voice: "Expel the Tartars and restore my China!"
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Cao Bin turned around and returned to his original seat and replied: "Come in!"
The visitor walked to Cao Bin, put down a piece of paper, and whispered: "Brother Biao's telegram."
Cao Bin looked at the contents on the paper and couldn't help but smile knowingly. After reading it, he took a match and scratched one, lit the telegram.
The brothers from the hall who sent the telegram had already left the room. Xu Gonglin asked: "Brother Bin, how is Brother Biao's progressing?"
