Chapter 446 London Trip (1) Shower
London.
David, Livlin, Elena, and Maggie got out of the car, followed the footsteps of pedestrians on the street, walked to the edge of Westminster Bridge, and looked at the London Houses of Parliament and the Houses of Parliament not far away. Big Ben~
Elena, as a temporary tour guide for several people, pointed to both ends of the bridge and introduced David and the others.
"On the other side of Westminster Bridge, we can see the most famous Big Ben clock tower~"
"It also has two other names, the clocktower and bigben."
"Big Ben, I have heard some legends about the origin of the name..."
"It is said... that the designer of this building, Augustus Pugin, was a fat man~"
"His nickname is Big Ben, so people also call this clock tower Big Ben~"
"bigben?"
"Haha ~ interesting!" Livlin turned to look at David beside her and asked with a smile.
"Where's your nickname?"
"In the future, you can also build a tower, or a...palace~name it after your nickname, how about it?"
"Not so good! My nickname is Dumb~"
"Hahaha~"
Hearing David's novel "nickname", the three Livlin girls laughed~
Amidst the laughter of the women, David looked along Westminster Bridge to the other side of the Thames~
On the shore over there, more than 20 years later, far away from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, there will be another London landmark, a 135-meter-high observation Ferris wheel, rising from the ground ~
It is affectionately called: London Eye by people in London~
However, its full name should be: Coca-Cola London Eye. .
hehe~
. . .
A few people were by the Thames River, blowing the cold wind of early winter for a while~
Suddenly, thin wisps of rain began to float in the sky~
Livlin has grown up so much, she is a southerner who has lived in California, USA all year round~
She was particularly uncomfortable with the rainy weather in London and the cold weather that soaked her clothes~
David looked up at the sky, took off his jacket, put it on her body, and smiled.
"I am still the most foresight~"
"This dress of mine is rainproof!"
"Hahaha~"
Livlin smiled and rolled her eyes at him, feeling the sudden increase in warmth on her body, and asked Elena.
"Is there anyone selling clothes here?"
"Yes~ shall we go now?"
"Go~"
With a wave of her hand, Livlin took the lead in leading several people back to the car, and got in the car to go shopping and buy clothes first. .
David, who was walking at the back, covered his forehead with his hands and felt regretful~
This is the first day~!
Bringing Livlin to London was not just for her to have a happy shopping festival. .
. . .
Under the guidance of Elena, the car with several people came to a bustling commercial street~
When David got off the bus, a middle-aged man wearing a jacket and an octagonal hat passed by on his bicycle leisurely in the drizzle.
David stood on the side of the street, staring blankly at the middle-aged cyclist enjoying the fresh air after the rain, and grinned and complained to Elena.
"A Londoner...isn't he afraid of getting wet in the rain?"
"Hahaha~"
"In another 10 minutes, this rain may stop~"
"The weather in London in November is like this - rainy days come and go at any time - just get used to it!"
"I... can't get used to it!"
"Hahaha~ Me too!"
"Yeah...me too~" Livlin and "Brave Maggie" also echoed and complained.
Elena, seeing that the three of them had formed a united front, couldn't help laughing and turned around and entered a street clothing store.
. . .
After half an hour.
The rain falling in the sky has stopped long ago.
But Livlin and the other three were still unwilling to leave. .
On this street, there are simply too many shops that can arouse women’s desire to shop~
They made the three women suffering from "crazy shopping syndrome" selectively forget the existence of David~
David can only keep company with Livlin's two bodyguards~
The three of them looked helpless to the women. .Temporarily acted as a "little bag-carrying follower" ~
However, Elena among the three girls is not the "interested" Livlin or the already "dazzled" Maggie~
When she was checking out a certain time, she pulled David over and asked quietly in his ear.
"Why don't you buy some gifts to go back to?"
"Uh...?" David held his wallet to his chest and stared at Elena warily.
"Of course I want to buy it! But... not today!"
"Hahaha~ Look how stingy you are~"
"...I'm not being stingy~ but...consuming rationally!"
"Yes, rational consumption, do you understand?"
"Look... that coat that Livlin bought. How many coats did she just buy? Are you still buying it?"
"These coats... until when will she wear them!?"
Elena raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "You dragged her to London, didn't you just want her to invest in fashion brands?"
"Come to this street to buy some of the most popular fashions and bags... It's also market research, right?"
"Cut~"
David's lips curled up, and after thinking about it, he was really convinced by Elena's "wrong reasoning"~
London, as the most important financial metropolis in Europe, its position in the fashion consumer market cannot be underestimated ~
If we do some on-the-spot research on the fashion market in Europe here and in Paris, it seems that we can really bring back some lessons for subsequent investment plans. .
Emm. .
David was carrying a lot of shopping bags in his hand. After thinking for a while, he took out the credit card that Leslie gave him, gritted his teeth, handed it to Livlin, and said in a pretentious manner.
"Take it here~ You can spend whatever you want on this street, I'll pay for it!"
"Huh~?" Livlin took the credit card in surprise and asked Elena while holding back a smile.
"Is he...sick?"
"No, right? Do you have a cold or fever? Let me touch it~"
"Tsk~ If I ask you to buy it, just buy it! I'm not sick!"
"Hahahaha~"
Livlin played with the credit card with her fingertips, handed it to Elena, shrugged and smiled.
"Since... your boss has said this, why should we be polite?"
"Haha~ I understand!"
Elena held the credit card between her fingers, waved it in front of David's eyes, laughed and walked into another store. .
David opened his mouth and looked at Livlin's two bodyguards. .
Both of them had expressions of gloating on their faces: "You are really a big injustice." .
This made David, who originally felt very "handsome", instantly "wilt"~
----
Italy.
Sicily is located in southern Italy, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It is shaped like a triangle and faces the Apennine Peninsula across the 3-kilometer-wide Strait of Messina at its northeastern end.
It is the largest island in the Mediterranean, with an area of approximately 2.57 square kilometers, a coastline of 1484 kilometers, and a population of approximately 390 million people.
Sicily has historically been considered a strategically important place.
It is vast and fertile, with a warm climate and beautiful scenery. It is rich in citrus, lemon and olive oil.
Due to its good natural environment for the development of agriculture and forestry, it was historically known as the "Golden Basin".
. . .
The Sidrich family of New York is home to Sicily, Italy.
However, the new generation of the Sidric family, Rosenlo Sidric, did not return directly to Sicily. Instead, he appeared in front of a prison on the outskirts of Cagliari, a city in southern Italy.
Rosenlow came here to complete a "mission" assigned to him by Ludi~
Visiting former Sicilian gang boss Legio who has been in prison for two years!
However, standing at the door of the prison, Rosenlot couldn't help but think again of the "fellow fellow" who picked him up at the Rome airport and told a "glorious deed" belonging to the boss Legio ~
. . .
Decades ago, when the young old Malkin Sidric returned to his hometown of Sicily, he was received by Navarre, the gang leader at the time~
In 1958, when young Ludy Sidric returned to his hometown, he was warmly received by the new gang leader, Lejo~
This "notorious", "heinous" and "cruel" boss in Sicily, in Rosenlow's view, is a "crazy man" who is both simple and complex~
. . .
In 1963, the Italian government saw that the gang leader Legio had almost become the lawless "Turkish Emperor" of Sicily, so it sent a task force to Sicily to rectify the social atmosphere and public security on the island~
The result. .
The day after the task force arrived on the island, the boss Lejo sent someone to install a bomb on the car, and invited everyone in the task force to take an "unforgettable" "unforgettable" trip~
After a loud "boom", the seven task force agents who were still alive only had one finger left in the end. .
The tyranny and ruthlessness of the boss Legio made the Italian government extremely angry and disgraced. .
Subsequently, the government was extremely powerful and sent 1 troops to the island, and ordered a thorough rectification of the gang cancer in Sicily~
The government also issued an announcement, declaring to the islanders: Anyone suspected of committing a crime will be thrown into prison and await a fair trial~
The government's tough attitude, in the view of boss Lejo, is tantamount to a public declaration of war~
Who is the biggest cancer in Sicily? ?
Boss Lejo!
The boss Lejo, whose sensitive nerves were stimulated, made a decision that shocked everyone after some research on the law and careful thinking~
Since the government has said: "Anyone suspected of committing a crime will be thrown into prison" ~
So. .As long as there is no evidence of crime, the boss Lejo is innocent!
There is no evidence or witnesses. In this society ruled by law, no one can do anything to him. .
Therefore, after the boss Lejo was arrested by the military and imprisoned, he ordered his subordinates to set up multiple secret assassination teams, and laid a "Jianghu Jue" to all those who might betray him or report him. "Killing Order"!
As soon as the "killing order" of the boss Legio was issued, Italy was in an uproar in an instant~
Countless people who wanted to put him to death jumped out one after another, intending to hold him to death in prison so that he would never get over~
But everyone underestimated the fighting power and execution ability of Lejo’s men and killers~
What’s more, they ignored the fact that Lejo spent countless real money and secretly supported the spokesperson of the power in the government~
With the cold shots, bomb attacks and various "accidents" happening one after another, the "evidence" and "witnesses" are unwilling to accept it. .Went to see God~
A few months later, which made everyone "scared", the court had no choice but to rule that the boss Lejo was not guilty due to insufficient evidence and released him in court~
However, the boss Lejo, who had accumulated endless anger in prison, did not want to end in such a hasty and low-key way~
After being released from prison, Lejo asked his men to "move" the bodies of the "witnesses" from the morgue and cemetery, and neatly placed them at the door of the police station to "show off" to all the police. Use your own methods~
Moreover, the boss Lejo, who has a "wonderful brain circuit", also moved his home to the building next to the police station. .
He asked his men to occasionally release some false news, and then sat on the balcony "with great interest", drinking intoxicating red wine, eating delicious traditional Italian food, and watching the police scurrying around trying to "capture him." .
. . .
At that time, the "fellow fellow" who told Rosenlow this history was also secretly observing Rosenlow~
However, he didn't find any strange expression on Rosenlow's face. .
But what he didn't know was that "wooden man" Rosenlot had already felt "admiration" for the big boss Legio in his heart~
Trying to commit suicide. .This is the first time Rosenlo has heard of a ruthless person who can reach the pinnacle level of Lejo~
. . .
In the prison on the outskirts of Cagliari.
Rosenlow, who came to visit the prison, successfully met the boss Lejo who was "serving his sentence" in prison.
The place where the two met was the "studio" of the boss Lejo in prison. .
Rosenlow, trying his best to put on a richer expression on his face, told the boss Lejo about his purpose~
The boss Lejo is also very happy that Ludy, who is far away in New York and has not seen him for many years, still remembers and misses him~
He was very excited to have his personal chef in prison prepare a table of sumptuous traditional food, open the 55-year-old Madiego red wine brought by Rosenlot, and meet this young boy who returned from New York. Started eating and drinking~
On the wine table.
Boss Lejo asked in detail about Rudy’s experiences over the years after returning to New York and the current situation of the Sidrich family~
When he heard from Rosenlow's story that Malkin Sr. and Ludy both chose to break away from the family business and withdraw. .
The boss Lejo breathed out a sigh of relief, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Good!"
"I originally thought that the final outcome of joining a gang was... only two!"
"Either die on the street~or die in prison like me..."
"Get out of the way!"
"Hahaha~ I really want to go out and have a drink with them and have a good chat~"
"But they both can see further than me and see clearly~"
. . .
The boss Leon was very prosperous before he was imprisoned. After being imprisoned, he still lived a luxurious life of "good clothes and fine food"~
But behind all the appearances, he lives in fear of "retribution" from being plotted by his enemies every day~
Rosenlow doesn’t know whether this should be considered lucky or unfortunate~
But now the gangster Lejo, who has been in prison for more than two years, has given him more "surprising insights" into this "legendary" figure. .
The boss Legio took Rosenlot to visit his "studio" and "study"~
And he took Rosenlow to sit down, and while sipping red wine, he talked about his in-depth study of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates and many classic works. .
Emm. .
The famous philosophical theory of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was nothing more than a "heavenly book" that he couldn't understand to Rosenthal, who barely graduated from high school~
But the boss Legio didn’t notice any strange expression on the face of “wooden man” Rosenlow~
After he made a "lofty speech", I saw that Rosenlow's face still had the indifferent expression of "Gu Jing Bu Bo". .
In his heart, the boss Legio could not help but admire the composure and maturity shown by the younger generation of the Sidric family~
The Sidrich family has been able to stand in New York for decades without any sign of decline ~ which makes the boss Lejo extremely "admired" ~
With such an outstanding junior, Sidric will continue to prosper for decades~!
. . .
The happy time is always short~
The boss Legio selected a dozen of the most satisfactory oil paintings from among his proud works and gave them to Rosenlot.
Let him take this gift from an old friend back to New York and hand it over to old Malkin and Ludy to express his "love"~
. . .
Prison gate.
Rosenlow, who was holding a lot of "gifts" of oil paintings in his arms, thanked the prison guards who sent him out, then turned to look at the boss Lejo standing inside the iron gate, took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Goodbye, sir!"
"Hahaha~"
The boss, Leqiao, held his hand on the solid iron door and said with a happy smile.
"Go back~"
"Sicily, you don't want to go either!"
"It is now a paradise for betrayers and profit seekers. It is no longer the home we once had!"
"..."
Rosenlow nodded and said nothing. .
The boss Legio looked at "The Wooden Man" Rosenluo, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"If... you, the Sidrich family, and your descendants want to return to your hometown, to Sicily~"
"Remember to help me..."
"Forget it~"
"Let's go, kid!"
"May God bless you and your families!"
"May happiness always be with you!"
"Thank you~!"
Rosenlow nodded again and sent a silent "blessing" to this senior who had given him countless "generous gifts" with his eyes ~
. . .
Rosenlow, let’s go~
His trip back to Sicily ended in such a dramatic way~
Because he trusted the judgment of the boss Lejo and followed his advice~
Sicily is still there, but the people have changed!
If I go back and look again, it becomes meaningless~
----
London, city center.
The Langham Hotel.
I experienced "headache", "meatache", "heartache" and "body aches". . After a “pleasant” shopping trip~
Like an "idiot", David sat on the sofa in his room, watching the three Livlin girls, commanding two bodyguards and five waiters, filling half of the living room with all the "trophies" today. ~
ten minutes later.
A waiter walked in from the outside and looked at his colleagues with "envy" in his eyes. After leaving with a generous tip, he smiled and said to the owner of the room, David.
"Mr. Coleman, you have a visitor downstairs, waiting for your permission to visit~"
"Oh?"
"Did he say anything?"
"Yes~ He said it was Mr. Cremo who arranged for him to meet you."
“I also said... the dishes at Xincheng Restaurant in New York’s Chinatown are very delicious~”
"...ok! Please lead him up~"
David said, lowered his head and groped around for a long time, took out all the change, and brought it to the waiter who came to report the news.
"My pleasure~ Sir!"
The waiter who received the "amazing" tip from David smiled brightly and nodded slightly to several people, then turned around, took big steps, and disappeared at the door~
David glanced at the three women who were arranging the "trophies" and the bodyguards who had expressions of "desperate" on their faces, grinned, shook his head, and walked out of the room~
Consumption is a moment of pleasure, after you sober up. .Want to eat Xiang? ?
hehe~
nonexistent!
On the way back just now, Maggie, the secretary with an amazing memory, secretly told David the total consumption today. .
10,000+ meters. .
The knife penetrates to the bone~
cough~
David raised his hand and pressed the wallet on his chest, silently walked out of the room, closed the door, put his head on the door, and said silently in his heart.
“A thousand pieces of gold have been scattered and come back again~”
"Without wealth, people will be happy. With money gone, people will be happy!!"
A few minutes later.
David finally regained his composure, took a few deep breaths, and turned towards the elevator~
. . .
