Diamonds

Two days later.

Buffalo, NY. 20:13 PM.

Penthouse suites at the Westin overlook Niagara Falls.Dinner specials are beef tartare with caviar and truffles, and cured salmon with fried squash blossoms is a must. 96 Salon champagne, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the moon rising on the cold stone.

"You are very good at choosing, Mr. Zheng." The host of the banquet raised his glass: "One sip of good champagne will soften one's heart in this cold world."

Zheng Ke's professional smiling face finally came in handy: "I heard that Mr. McAlder is also a member of the New York Sailing Club and has won many awards. My brother used to be a member of the club. To put it bluntly, there is a destined relationship between us." fate."

The sailor was pleasantly surprised: "Was it? Your brother's name? Maybe we have met before."

"He has passed away, and you should rarely see him."

"My God, I'm sorry. Call me Mason, honey, how did I not meet you sooner?"

"My brother will be very happy to see us in heaven."

Those who don't know think how much they care for each other, and they have only met for less than 10 minutes.

The sailor said proudly: "...As soon as I got the news of this golden diamond, I had a hunch that this stone was destined to be mine. It is something I must have in my destiny, just like you, Mr. Zheng, I am destined Make your friend. We have already planned to set this stone on the championship trophy at the next American sailing competition..."

"Are you going to donate it to the sailing club?" Zheng Ke was surprised.

"Isn't that natural?"

"I just didn't expect you to be so...generous."

"Honey," the sailor touched the back of Zheng Ke's hand and sighed, "No matter how precious it is, how can it compare to the friendship between friends."

The "clang" of knives and forks interrupted the sailor's sensationalism.

Xie Qiuqi interjected expressionlessly: "Then when will the final payment arrive?"

The sailor seemed to have just noticed someone like him: "Don't worry, our money will arrive in the account tomorrow morning."

"I thought I'd be able to sleep well tonight."

"Sorry, part of the money is in the bank in Zurich, and it will take some time to transfer it. However, how do you say it in China? It takes a long time... Oh, your name? I am old and my memory is not good ..."

Xie Qiuqi didn't answer.He only knows that nights are long and dreams are many.

He instinctively disliked this glib, affectated athlete.It's not that he discriminates against sexual orientation, but a coquettish old GAY like a sailor wearing a fluorescent sunscreen suit, sports shorts, and a satchel twisting his hips is really hard to catch the eye.When he smiled, his facial muscles seemed to be lifting a barbell, and Zheng Ke could still be touched on the back of his hand without moving his face!

Zheng Ke noticed that his attitude was not right, so he waited until after dinner to ask: "You didn't teach me? Work is work, and you shouldn't bring your personal attitude into work. Qiu Qi, you are not in the right mood tonight." .What's wrong?"

"It's because he didn't take us seriously, it's not that my attitude is wrong." Xie Qiuqi said flatly.

"You mean he doesn't remember your last name? Believe it or not, he doesn't remember me when he turns around. Rich people pretend to know each other."

"I'm not talking about this. How can you look serious when you come to dinner dressed in such fancy clothes? That's fine, why can't you prepare the money earlier? Since you know that the diamond is coming, you should prepare the money in advance. The attitude that work should have.”

"But he really wanted the diamond, and it might really be that there was something wrong with the bank. I can understand that, it used to be like that in our family, and we wouldn't keep all the money together, especially with such a large amount of money, for sure It's separate."

Xie Qiuqi couldn't tell, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this sailor.

Zheng Ke sat down and held his hand: "Are you too tired?"

Xie Qiuqi wiped his face, but said nothing.The meal put him in a bad mood.

"I admit that the sailor is really not likable. But in business, you have to deal with everyone, which is unavoidable. The richer the circle, the more rules, how to choose wine and order, and what news to talk about. No talk, fashion, weather, sports... It’s not bad to learn these things, and you’ll need to use them often anyway.” Zheng Ke persuaded patiently.

Xie Qiuqi said, "I'm not a rich man."

Zheng Ke had a headache: "That's not what I mean, am I not the same as you?"

Xie Qiuqi pursed his lips.

Zheng Ke didn't understand why he was unhappy: "After all, you just think he doesn't take you seriously. You don't think I stole your limelight tonight, do you?"

Xie Qiuqi's face turned cold: "Zheng Ke, I'm not so naive."

"Then what are you thinking?" Zheng Ke didn't understand: "You don't say anything when you eat together, and you say a few words indifferently. How can you talk about business like this? Besides, we are still on other people's territory. You Why is it so repulsive?"

"Because I think that's so stupid!" Xie Qiuqi blurted out without even thinking about it: "What champagne, caviar, sailing club, what brother, dear, is the meat not nasty? For whom? Don't you think it's stupid? Do you think Am I that kind of person? I have my own way of doing things, it's not your turn to teach me!"

Zheng Ke was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a disappointed expression: "So, that's how you see me."

Xie Qiuqi didn't expect him to suddenly turn to this topic, and his expression froze.

"Do you have your own way of doing things, or do you just look down on me? Think I'm so stupid?" Zheng Ke said sadly, "You think I'm sitting there like a clown, right? It's not helpful, but It will ruin your way of doing things. Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xie Qiuqi realized that what he said was extreme, so he came to explain again at this time, but he didn't know where to start.

"Yes, I know it's boring and boring to pretend to be self-confident and build relationships there. Do you think I like it? How happy do you think I am? Why am I? It's not for you, it's for the business to be negotiated sooner! Zheng Ke gradually raised his voice. "I thought that I could finally help you, and finally had the environment and things I am familiar with. That's why I tried my best to do it!"

"Zheng Ke..."

"That's all I know! I watched my dad chat like this at the dinner party since I was a child. This is what I only know. I don't know anything else. I'm just a bag of wine. If you don't like me, just say it, I'm now Just get out of your way, and it won't hinder you for a second!"

Xie Qiuqi took a deep breath: "I didn't look down on you. I never thought you were a fool."

Zheng Ke looked at him stubbornly: "Then why can't you accept me?"

Xie Qiuqi didn't know how to answer this question.

Zheng Ke seemed to have had enough, turned around and slammed the door and left.

Xie Qiuqi wanted to stop him but failed to speak.He came to his senses and thought with a wry smile, what and what is this all about?Isn't it just a meal, why are they so noisy?It's not a teenage child, but he's still acting on his own will.

He feels tired, and he always gets tired easily when it comes to Zheng Ke.Maybe he should be calm and calm with Zheng Kedu.

He went to find a change of clothes in the suitcase and prepared to take a shower.The suitcases were prepared by Aura for them, and there were not many things. One suitcase was more than enough for Zheng Ke and him.

When the suitcase was opened, he managed to find out his pajamas. A small object fell out of it and landed on the carpet.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a tattered sewing kit.

It was the sewing kit that Zheng Ke stole while sewing clothes for him in the air-raid shelter in Angola.

Xie Qiuqi's heart was sour, and he went to find someone when he went out.Zheng Ke was not at Xing Zhifei's place, nor was he in the corridor lobby. He went to the bar, searched around but found no one, and just bumped into sailors and Moroccans walking in.He subconsciously slipped into the side of the pillar, so that no one could see him, only the two of them were having a heated discussion, and the sailors laughed from time to time.

——Why are these two people here?

It would make sense to say that the Moroccans were in the hotel.He has no other place to live, so he can only stay in a hotel.But the sailor came to the hotel just to have dinner and discuss business. He is a local, and he should go back to his mansion after dinner. Even if his subordinates want to report to work, they should report to the boss's place. How can a boss accommodate his subordinates? ?Are Americans so considerate?

—unless there are other things that make sailors obliged to stay in the hotel.

Not far away, two people sat down at the corner of the bar and asked the bartender for drinks.The sailor was obviously a regular customer, the waiter knew him, and they talked skilfully.The sailor flirtatiously took the hand of the waiter, but the waiter avoided it by holding the drink.

Xie Qiuqi looked around the backstage of the bar, went in silently, and slipped a fruit knife for cutting lemons into his cuff.There is a toilet in the preparation room, and he hid for a while with the door panel of the compartment. About half an hour later, the waiter walked in, and Xie Qiuqi kicked the door unsuspectingly. He didn't even see who the attacker was. From the corner of his eyes, there was only a slight flash of metallic light, and the slender fruit knife lay across his neck, holding him against the corner of the wall and unable to move.

The waiter screamed in fright, Xie Qiuqi covered his mouth in time, and whispered: "I won't hurt you, I only have a few questions to ask. You answer me honestly, nothing will happen today, listen clearly ?"

The waiter nodded desperately.Xie Qiuqi smiled: "Mason McAlder, do you know who I'm talking about? The sailor, he and his men are in the bar. Tell me what they said and what you heard."

"We...we can't leak the conversation of the guest...he's going to kill me," the waiter sobbed.

The force of the blade against it increased: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you now."

The waiter whimpered and gave up: "They said... I didn't hear it very clearly, I just heard them talking about diamonds... Oh, there is a line where Mason said, 'If he can get the diamonds tonight, he can sleep Feel safe'. Later, I said intermittently, 'That's a novice, it's not worth mentioning', '600 million is considered charity', I... I can't remember! I'm working, how can I remember everything !"

This is enough.Xie Qiuqi let go of the knife and warned him: "Now, you go out from here and work as usual. You haven't met anyone, and you haven't said anything. Do you understand?"

The waiter tremblingly wiped his eyes and left as if fleeing for his life.

Xie Qiuqi waited for a while before flashing out of the preparation room, and called Xing Zhifei as soon as he stepped out of the bar door——

"Old Xing, you and the shepherd dog leave the hotel immediately with the diamonds. I will inform Zheng Ke. Be quick!"

Xing Zhifei was puzzled: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xie Qiuqi didn't wait for the elevator, so he simply ran up the stairs: "The sailors are planning to eat black and white, and the goal is diamonds. I guess they should act later. He is still staying in the hotel at this time. If he doesn't get the diamonds tonight, he won't." left."

Xing Zhifei was horrified: "Understood. We will meet in the lobby in 10 minutes."

"Don't go in the lobby, find a side door and wait for me. I'll be right there."

Zheng Ke couldn't get through on the phone, and Xie Qiuqi remembered that he was anxious when he left the room, maybe he didn't bring the phone with him at all.

Where did the young master go at this time?If the sailors find him, his life may be in danger. Is he carrying a gun?Are there enough bullets?Can you guard against the enemy?How can I notify the Master?

In desperation, Xie Qiuqi went back to the room first, changed into different clothes, tidied up the useful things, carried a small bag and went outside.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Zheng Ke was walking in. Seeing Xie Qiuqi carrying a bag, he thought he was going to leave.

The young master panicked: "Where are you going?"

Xie Qiuqi only had time to briefly explain: "We must find a way to inform Ola. The state of New York may not be able to stay any longer. There are sailors everywhere here, and we need to find another next owner who is willing to accept this diamond. Have you heard of it?" Where can I go? Hurry up and change your clothes, so as not to be recognized by others when you go out later."

Zheng Ke took the sports jacket from his hand while searching for the addresses of several reliable classmates and friends in his mind.

Xie Qiuqi put the hat on for him, when the elevator dinged and stopped at the middle floor.The door was opening, revealing several black-clothed figures.Zheng Ke's head was in a daze, and he pulled him over with one hand, turned his face away from the elevator door, followed by his warm lips——

"Hmm!" He reacted, hugged Xie Qiuqi's neck and responded enthusiastically, deliberately making an exaggerated sucking sound.

Xie Qiuqi's hand carrying the bag was blocked by Zheng Ke's body, while the other hand grabbed his shoulder, stroking him passionately and hastily.

The people outside were stunned, they didn't expect to meet a pair of anxious wild mandarin ducks.

The leading killer looked away uncomfortably, cursed casually, and ordered some of his men to go down the stairs to block people.

Qiuqiu is jealous!
