Chapter 56: Football Night (Part 1)
Bobby made a grand appearance at six in the evening. The same three cars and the same group of bodyguards made Bobby stand out in this ordinary community.
As a second-generation rich man, although he was idle, Bobby had good family education. Bobby was very polite and humble. He met Mary under Liang Xi's introduction. He was very close to Mary and complimented her with some polite words, especially praising Mary's baking skills. Mary was very happy that such a handsome young man praised her so much, and she was also very grateful for the gift from Bobby.
Bobby modestly said again that it was not a gift at all, then took a bag from the bodyguard, took out a box from it, and signaled Liang Xi, a supporting actor, to hold the box and take out an emerald necklace from the box. Mary immediately rejected this birthday gift. Although she didn't know how much the necklace cost, she was sure that it was far beyond the scope of a gift.
Poppy was somewhat embarrassed to be rejected. Liang Xi said, "Mary doesn't have so many bodyguards." The implication was that it was a bad thing for Mary to get this necklace. Mary thanked Poppy for his kindness, touched the head of Ginrado and said that this gift was the biggest surprise. Poppy also accepted the necklace.
Liang Xi found that Bobby was polite for the first time. Or to put it another way, except for swearing at him, Bobby was polite to everyone else. Did this guy think he was easy to bully?
The birthday party turned into a birthday party. After blowing out the candles at 7 o'clock, a country lyrical band arrived. After dinner, neighbors from the community came to join in the fun. Many of them brought wine and homemade dishes. Children ran fun. Mary had the most lively birthday of her life.
Just as Liang Xi thought, Bobby was the protagonist of the birthday party. Many people were willing to meet Bobby, especially a few crazy girls who would cover their faces and run to the side to peek at Bobby. The term "lusting at the sight of beauty" is not only used by men.
What made Liang Xi a little sad was that many people attended John's funeral, but on Mary's birthday, except for Mark, no other friends of John showed up, not even a phone call. Of course, this could not be blamed on them, because they were John's friends and would not pay attention to Mary's birthday.
At 9:30 pm, Mary was tired. Liang Xi said something to Bobby, and Bobby asked the service staff to start cleaning the house. Seeing this, the neighbors came up to say goodbye to Mary, wishing her a happy birthday and thanking her for today's hospitality. Liang Xi sent Mary back to the bedroom to rest, and went downstairs to talk to Bobby about Mark.
Liang Xi talked a lot, and Bobby's first reaction was: "The Blond Man can no longer be used?"
Liang Xi thought for a moment and said, "If you want, by dyeing your hair you can be called the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple Hair Man."
Bobby didn't worry about getting into trouble at all, and said, "This case should be very interesting, why don't you take it?"
Liang Xi replied: "The police, especially MI5, have a lot of resources, including equipment and talents. Mark contacted me soon after discovering the theft. The first possibility is that he suspected that I was involved in the case. The second possibility is that it is inconvenient for him to use too many resources to investigate the case. The third possibility is that he suspected that there was a traitor inside. The fourth possibility is that all three possibilities are true. No matter which reason it is, this case is difficult to investigate, and the fees for difficult cases will definitely be higher."
Bobby asked, "Is that the reason?"
Liang Xi said, "Not entirely. The criminals targeted the distribution warehouse, avoided the eyes and ears of the anti-powder team, and stole MI5 supplies. This gang of criminals is not an ordinary criminal gang. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I am very unfamiliar with the gang and do not even know their basic structure. At the same time, I doubt how much information MI5 will provide me. Considering all aspects, I will offer a price that Mark will never agree to."
Bobby asked, "Did they agree?"
Liang Xi said, "That's a big problem. It means they have reached the point where they have to try their best to save the situation. Let me take a call."
The call was from Baker, who invited Liang Xi out for tea. Liang Xi drank tea, and he drank wine. Liang Xi refused at first, but Baker said that Liu Zhen was treating him today, and that he felt sorry for the trust of the Golden Haired Man, so he asked Liang Xi out for a drink. Liang Xi hung up the phone and said to Bobby, "You have to change your name, now even Baker knows you are the Golden Haired Man. Let's go together, they are treating the Golden Haired Man to a drink."
Bobby left two bodyguards to supervise hygiene, and he got in a Beetle and went to Happy Bar with the two cars of bodyguards.
There are three states in the anti-powder team. The first is the working state, so they cannot drink. The second is the rest state, where they may receive an action order at any time, and they cannot drink. The third is the holiday state. Liu Zhen's team was given a holiday because of the warehouse incident, and Liang Xi felt a little sorry because it was him who got the team involved in the storm. Liu Zhen thought that she felt sorry because the Golden Haired Man gave her accurate information, but she didn't do it well.
…
When they arrived at the Happy Bar, one carload of bodyguards went to the back door and another carload of bodyguards stayed at the front door. Not only did they not follow us into the bar, but some of the bodyguards even started chatting with the customers who entered the bar.
Happy Bar is a bar opened by two widows of drug-hunting policemen and a disabled retired policeman . The rules of the bar are: non-policemen and police friends are not allowed to enter. Although it is far from the police station, many policemen come here when they want to have a drink. Since the guests are all policemen and police friends, the bar is very casual and you can even get your own drinks and pay for them yourself.
The celebration party after the arrest of Wang Shuang was held here. Liang Xi didn't pay attention last time and just went there to drink. Today was Saturday, and the TVs in the bar were broadcasting the Chelsea vs. Arsenal derby football match. The bar was extremely lively. When Liang Xi and Bobby arrived at the bar, it was already the last 20 minutes of the second half.
Baker wore an Arsenal jersey, while Liu Zhen wore a Chelsea jersey and welcomed them in at the door. Why did they have to come out to greet them? They had just made a bet on which team Liang Xi supported. Liang Xi replied, "West Ham United." The two booed and pushed Liang Xi aside: What taste. Baker told Bobby and Liang Xi to do as they pleased and keep his account.
Bobby is a Tottenham fan. There is no West Ham United match today, so he joined the fans as a neutral. For Bobby, he likes the wild atmosphere when watching the game in the bar, which is sometimes better than watching the game live. The VIP box of the game makes him feel lonely and out of place. Unfortunately, as a rich second-generation, he has very few opportunities to go to ordinary bars.
Three TVs divided the bar into three areas: Arsenal, Chelsea and neutral. People hugged their heads here, cheered there. People booed here, shouted there. The whole bar was like boiling hot oil. Tables were hammered and people screamed. In addition, both teams were veteran teams, and it was the last ten minutes of the game . This city derby made the stadium and the bar appear white-hot.
Liang Xi is an abnormal fan, perhaps because of West Ham United's performance. He likes to drink tea with John, watch the game, and comment slowly. The noise at the scene made him feel dizzy, so he left the game and went to the bar. There was also a quiet person at the bar. He was wearing a set of denim clothes that had been through the years, a baseball cap that was a bit old, and he drank rum leisurely. His drinking rhythm was not affected by the atmosphere of the bar at all.
