  Chapter 566 Hellfire

  There is a saying abroad that says that where there are Chinese people, there must be a Chinatown and Chinese restaurants.

  Of course, this sentence is not 100% correct, but it is quite realistic. The history of Chinese people moving to Western countries can be traced back to thousands of years ago. Five or six hundred years ago, there was a large-scale immigration phenomenon due to wars and famines.

  Since modern times, for various reasons, many Chinese people have chosen to live and develop abroad, and the characteristics of the nation have made them choose to live in groups, and Chinatowns have appeared all over the world.

   What you can see the most in Chinatown are all kinds of Chinese restaurants.

  The place where Zhang Yaoming and Zuo Yi met was Longfeng Tea House in Chinatown, St. George's West District, a large Cantonese-style restaurant.

  The Lamborghini parked steadily at the door of the teahouse. Zuo Yi got out of the car and threw the car keys to the parking boy. He walked into this very Chinese-style teahouse with a backpack containing Tektronix.

  Although it was afternoon, the business in the tea house was still very good. There were many customers sitting in the lobby on the first floor, most of them were foreign tourists who enjoyed afternoon tea.

  St. George's is a well-known tourist destination, receiving tens of millions of foreign tourists a year. The Chinatown in the West End, which has a history of hundreds of years, is also one of the tourist attractions here.

   It is worth mentioning that adjacent to Chinatown is Paparo and even the largest slum in the world!

   "Hello, how many people?"

  A waiter from a teahouse greeted him, and asked Zuo Yi with a smile on his face, using standard Mandarin.

  He saw Zuo Yi getting off the supercar just now, so his attitude was very polite.

   "Dating someone."

  Zuo Yi said: "Zhang Yaoming."

  Earlier Zhang Yaoming said on the phone that he should report his name when he arrives.

   "Master Zhang is on the third floor."

  The waiter in the teahouse was even more respectful: "Please follow me."

  Under the guidance of the staff, Zuo Yi came to a private room on the third floor of the teahouse.

   There were four people sitting in the private room, an old man with white hair and red face, a square-faced man in a suit and leather shoes, a beautiful woman in a long skirt, and a haggard middle-aged man.

  Zuo Yi's eyes first fell on the middle-aged man: "Mr. Zhang?"

"what."

  The middle-aged man who was in a trance woke up, got up and asked, "Mr. Zuo?"

   "I am Zuo Yi."

  Zuo Yi stretched out his hand to him: "Hello."

"Hello."

  Zhang Yaoming shook hands with Zuo Yi: "Please sit down."

After Zuo Yi was seated, he introduced to Zuo Yi: "This is President Chen of our Chinatown Self-Management Association, this is Inspector Tang of the West District Police Station, and this is Ms. Sun from Huaixia Hall. "

"Hello."

   Zuo Yi nodded his head one by one, and then asked: "How is the situation now?"

   "It's troublesome."

  Zhang Yaoming sighed: "Yun Xi's parents were kidnapped. The kidnapper called me this morning. I was afraid that Yun Xi would be worried, so I didn't tell her the news for now."

   Kidnapping?

  Zuo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

  Because if it was kidnapped, there is a high probability that the person is still alive, otherwise there would be no call from the kidnapper.

  He asked: "What request does the other party have?"

"other side…"

  Just as Zhang Yaoming said two words, he was interrupted by the square-faced man Inspector Tang: "This case is of great importance, Mr. Zuo, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to disclose some things to you, please forgive me."

  He looked at Zuo Yi with vigilance.

  Inspector Tang's vigilance is justified. Zuo Yi is a complete stranger to them, and he suddenly ran over to participate in this kidnapping incident, which made him doubt Zuo Yi's purpose.

  Although Zhang Yaoming introduced Zuo Yi's identity just now, Gu Yunxi's friends are obviously not enough to win people's trust.

   "I just came from China."

  Zuo Yi knew what the other party was thinking, so he took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to him.

   "Just came from China?"

  Zhang Yaoming showed a look of disbelief: "How is it possible!"

  It’s a long way from China to St. George’s, and it takes more than a day to take a civil airliner, and it’s been less than 24 hours since the kidnapping happened. Did Zuo Yi come here by rocket?

  Detective Tang turned over Zuo Yi's ID with a sullen face, and was stunned for a moment: "Chief consultant of Jiangnan Extraordinary Affairs Administration?"

  The beautiful woman sitting next to him flashed her eyes when she heard this, stared at Zuo Yi and asked, "Are you a superhuman?"

  Zuo Yi glanced at her, raised his right hand and extended his index finger to lightly tap the teacup in front of him.

  The porcelain cup instantly turned into ashes, but the steaming tea in the cup remained motionless, restrained by an invisible force without spilling half a drop!

  Zuo Yi opened his palm and held the cup-shaped cup of hot tea, lifted it up and poured it into his mouth.

  Zhang Yaoming and Inspector Tang were dumbfounded, and that beautiful woman, Ms. Sun from Huaixiatang, was also wide-eyed.

   She can also smash a teacup, but what Zuo Yi did just now was more than just smashing a cup, and the ability shown has exceeded her imagination.

  But what is certain is that Zuo Yi is definitely a hidden extraordinary person!

   "Sorry."

  Inspector Tang's attitude immediately became much more polite, and returned the certificate to Zuo Yi.

  He was scared, so Zhang Yaoming stopped worrying about how Zuo Yi came here, and told Zuo Yi everything he knew so far.

  A few years ago, Gu Yunxi’s parents Gu Kai and Zhang Yun came to St. George’s to join Zhang Yaoming, opened a small supermarket with his help, and settled down in Chinatown.

  The business in the supermarket is pretty good, and the two of them live a very stable life. Apart from thinking about Gu Yunxi, there is no other problem.

   A few days ago, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun received a call from Gu Yunxi. They happily discussed with Zhang Yaoming and decided to sell the supermarket and house and return to China.

  Zhang Yaoming was also happy for them and helped to contact the buyer.

   But it never occurred to them that just yesterday afternoon, the house where Gu Kai and Zhang Yun lived caught fire and burned down, and the two lost contact.

  Zhang Yaoming rushed to the police and reported to the Chinatown Self-Management Committee.

  Current investigation results from the West District Police Station and the Self-Management Committee show that Gu Kai and Zhang Yun were kidnapped in their own store, and the supermarket's surveillance recorded the whole process.

  The kidnappers were very arrogant, they did not hide their identities.

  The kidnappers belonged to a local gang—the Hellfire.

  The St. George slum adjacent to Chinatown covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. It gathers nearly two million poor people in the city. It has always been St. George's biggest cancer.

   St. George's slums have hundreds of gangs, large and small, and criminal activities are extremely rampant. The powerful gangs have fierce force and dare to confront the police and even the army.

  Hellfire is one of the most powerful gangs in St. George's Slum!
