Chapter 148 Italian Chinese Restaurant
"Hello, who is it?" A somewhat annoyed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Helena, long time no see, do you still remember who I am?" Chu Ge asked pretendingly casually.

"Leon?" The voice on the other end of the phone raised a bit, as if a little surprised, and there was a hint of surprise.

"Yes, it's me."

"Hehe, your voice is weird."

Chu Ge thought it was dry, and even forgot to use the disguise technique to change the voice, and hurriedly used the disguise technique to change into Leon's appearance, and changed the voice by the way, "Ahem, I just didn't wake up."

"Uh, what do you want me to do?"

"Of course, are you interested in going out for dinner together?"

"Now? It's only nine o'clock in the morning."

"Evening is fine too. I'm free anytime. How about it? Are you free?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, "How about 8 o'clock in the evening."

"Then it's settled, what do you want to eat?"

“I know an Italian restaurant that does good Chinese food.”

Chinese food in an Italian restaurant?What the hell is Chu Gexin saying?But he said, "It's exactly what I want."

In the evening, Chu Ge came to the restaurant mentioned by Helena - Yuhuayuan restaurant half an hour earlier.

Before he came, he found out about this restaurant in advance, and by the way made a reservation for tonight.

There are already a large number of Chinese restaurants in the United States. Because Los Angeles is a city with a large number of Chinese, the number of Chinese restaurants is not ordinary.

However, most of the Chinese restaurants focus on mid-to-low-end fast food and family dinners. Yuhuayuan is one of the few relatively high-end Chinese restaurants, so reservations are required in advance.

The origin of this restaurant is quite bizarre. It is said that it was originally an Italian restaurant. Later, the owner changed for some reason, but the new owner did not change the original decoration, but changed the name. In addition to Italian dishes, Chinese dishes are also available. The food is a strange restaurant with a combination of Chinese and Western.

Sitting in the seat, drinking the tea provided by the restaurant, Chu Ge looked at the exotic decorations around him boredly, while waiting with some anticipation.

At exactly eight o'clock, Helena appeared at the door of the restaurant on time, and walked towards Chu Ge from a distance.

She was wearing a black evening gown, her blond hair shone under the light, and the close-fitting evening gown made her look unusually graceful, which made Chu Ge's eyes shine. This woman who exercises regularly is different, with a bumpy figure Beautiful, but not as bloated as the average European and American women.

"You are so beautiful tonight." Chu Ge got up and pulled out the chair for her.

"Thank you," Helena smiled slightly, and sat down in front of Chu Ge. She sized him up a bit, "You look a little different, looking radiant? Is it my illusion? Or did something good happen to you recently? "

Chu Gexin wondered if it was related to Long Yin Gong?This thing also has a beauty function, it should just look more energetic. "Haha, of course I'm happy that a beautiful woman can have dinner with me, but you're right. I have indeed encountered some good things recently, and I have gained a little from my work. I feel good when happy events happen." "That's right. Congratulations."

"What about you, why did your voice sound a little angry today during the day?"

But Helena sighed, "Because of some things at work, but let's not talk about them, by the way, how do you feel about this restaurant?"

Just as Chu Ge was about to answer, he suddenly felt something in his heart. When he closed his eyes a little, a small map immediately appeared in his mind, and a golden exclamation point icon suddenly appeared at a position not far from his seat. .

What the hell?There is a mission?

Chu Ge didn't take it too seriously. This small map can only display the surrounding maps and unit status. The so-called tasks should be just some people who need help with special things, and they won't be as real as in the game. You can trigger missions as soon as you open your mouth. Of course, it is possible to learn that the other party needs help through communication, but just like reality, it may not be easy to gain the other party's trust. Poor communication may cause trouble, so Chu Ge didn't mean to go over to pick up the task, but just glanced over there, and the person sitting on that table was an old man of Chinese origin. He looked about 80 or [-] years old, very old, but he was in good spirits, and His demeanor is graceful, and at first glance, it gives people the feeling of a superior. Beside him sits respectfully a bald and strong man in a black suit, who seems to be a bodyguard.

The old man seemed to sense his gaze, suddenly raised his head to look at him, and nodded slightly.

what's the situation?Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, but Helena in front of him suddenly sighed, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I think I met someone I know."

acquaintance?Chu Ge turned around, only to see Helena raising her glass to the old Chinese man with a smile, as if meeting an old friend.

It was only then that Chu Ge realized that the old man was not nodding to himself, but to Helena.

"You know that old man?"

"Of course, this old man is not ordinary. He is the former president of the Dragon's Blood Society, Douglas Young."

"Dragon Blood Society?"

"You don't even know about the Dragon's Blood Society, do you? As a detective, you are not very qualified. The Dragon's Blood Society is one of the largest Chinese gangs in the United States. It can be ranked among the top [-] gangs in the entire United States. Of course. Strictly speaking, whether the current Dragon's Blood Society is still a gangster is a little uncertain. The gang began to transform its business ten years ago, and the old man presided over the transformation.

I was in charge of investigating him a few years ago, and at that time he was semi-retired and opened this restaurant, you know, this restaurant used to be owned by the Italian Mafia, when the Mafia exited Los Angeles, this restaurant The restaurant fell into the hands of the Dragon's Blood Association. I guess there must be some stories in it. Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful information at the time. I found that the food here is very good. I also know him, but I didn't expect him Still remember me. "

"Your appearance is hard to forget." Chu Ge complimented without any trace, "By the way, you just said that recent work is not going well."

"Yes." When it came to work, Helena's expression was rather tangled.

"I won't go into the details. There are some things that ordinary people should not know. As a detective, you should know that there are always some gray areas that are not so legal but exist objectively in reality, especially when it comes to some special cases. people in the background.”

Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Of course I understand."

"Well, I just happened to encounter such a thing recently, and as a result, my superiors told me not to investigate any more."

Chu Ge said it was so bloody, but the heart of gossip came out involuntarily. After watching so many Hollywood blockbusters, it is inevitable that he will have some interest in the dark side of capitalism, "So you are hesitant."
