Chapter 3374 A Familiar Man
After a night, Chi Feichi recovered his energy and started a new day's task. In the morning, he visited Chi's former partners, and at noon, he took Nanatsuki Yueshui to dinner with several partners.
After the dinner, Chi Feichi originally wanted to accompany Nanatsuki Yueshui to visit a New York attraction, but at Nanatsuki Yueshui's suggestion, he finally chose to go home and rest.
At the same time, Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko arrived in New York one after another, but the two had just got off the plane and needed to rest. Chi Feichi and Nanatsuki Yueshui had a dinner to attend, so the two sides only contacted each other by phone and did not meet.
That afternoon, Chi Feichi took medicine and slept for three hours. After waking up, he and Nanatsuki Yueshui changed into evening gowns and took a car to attend the banquet together.
The banquet was still held in the hotel last night. The heirs and important backbones of the two major interests in the United States would attend. It was regarded as a "welcome party" jointly held by the two forces.
The two alliances usually have a lot of competition and their relationship is not harmonious, but when there is an invasion by external forces or when they need to join forces to rob, the two alliances don't mind joining together, and they are not absolute enemies. The two alliances have not had new people join for a long time, and the other alliance also feels it is necessary to get familiar with the newcomers, so there is this banquet.
Compared with the banquet the night before, the two interest alliances only had the heirs of each family and the two or three most important people of each family to attend the dinner this time, with a total of just over a hundred people, plus these people brought male and female companions, the number of people is about 200.
In addition, the two alliances also invited celebrities from all walks of life to come, such as well-known athletes, well-known artists, well-known actors and singers, well-known scholars, ambassadors to the United States from other countries, and wealthy businessmen, the number of people is also about 200, which makes the atmosphere of the banquet a lot more lively.
During the banquet, the heirs of both sides can still get together and chat for a while, but the backbones of each family have been divided into two teams early, keeping a distance from the people of the other alliance. Even if they need to chat occasionally, their attitude is polite and distant. Some people who have too deep grudges in the past will even sneer at each other.
Fortunately, the banquet planners of the two alliances had foresight and invited many celebrities in advance to liven up the atmosphere, so that the atmosphere at the banquet would not be too stiff.
After the heirs and important backbones of the other alliance gradually got to know Chi Feichi, the people of the two alliances began to move freely, greeted the people they knew, and got to know the new faces introduced by the familiar faces.
After the banquet lasted for three hours, some people left one after another.
Since the purpose of this banquet was to "welcome the new", Chi Feichi and other heirs of the two interest alliances stayed until the end. After the backbones of their own forces left, they greeted each other and left the banquet hall one after another.
At 10:30 in the evening, Chi Feichi and Yueshui Nanatsuki arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
In order to hold today's dinner, the two alliances booked the entire hotel. Now there are only guests who are about to leave, hotel staff, and bodyguards brought by each family in the hotel lobby.
After Chi Feichi got off the elevator, he immediately called the driver on his mobile phone to confirm that the driver had driven over from the parking lot. Then he took Yueshui Nanatsuki to the gate and said, "It's cold outside. Please wait at the entrance of the lobby. I'll get you the coat in the car."
"Is this too much trouble for you?" Yueshui Nanatsuki touched her arm exposed outside her dress and looked at the open space outside the glass door of the lobby. "It's only a few steps from the gate to the car. I'll walk faster and I won't be frozen..."
??????55.??????
Chi Feichi noticed a cold gaze not far away on him and turned to look over.
Near the entrance of the safety passage, a man in a black suit, who looked like a bodyguard, stood behind the crowd with a pair of sunglasses on his face. When he found that Chi Feichi was looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look at the elevator as if nothing had happened.
Chi Feichi followed the man's line of sight and found two groups of people talking together near the elevator. He could not see anything unusual, so he turned his sight to the man again, looking at the man's braided hair.
The sight that was staring at him just now should come from this man.
And he seemed to have seen this man somewhere...
Yueshui Nanatsuki found that Chi Feichi had stopped, and looked up at Chi Feichi with a puzzled look, "Mr. Chi?"
"It's okay," Chi Feichi retracted his sight and continued to walk to the door, "I thought I saw someone I knew before, but after a closer look, it was very strange. It should not be someone I know."
"So that's the case..." Yueshui Nanatsuki curiously looked in the direction Chi Feichi had just looked at, and saw a pair of men and women in luxurious dresses passing by, and several bodyguards standing around the hall. He was not sure who Chi Feichi had seen before, so he quickly retracted his sight and followed Chi Feichi to the door of the hall.
On the way back to the apartment by car, Chi Feichi edited an email on his mobile phone and sent it to Rum.
Seven years ago, the original consciousness went to London to reunite with Ike Kana, and found that Ike Kana had rejected the invitation to enroll in a British school. He realized that Ike Kana didn't want to live with him at all, and ran to Hyde Park alone in grief, and his consciousness suddenly gained control of his body.
At that time, Rum and his men were performing a mission near Hyde Park and happened to meet him. He remembered that when Rum left, among the people who took the initiative to find Rum to report the situation, there was a tall man with dreadlocks.
Although this kind of dreadlock hairstyle is not rare in the United States, there are thousands of tall men with dreadlocks in New York, and seven years ago, the distance between him and the tall man was a bit far, and the other person was wearing sunglasses, so he didn’t see the other person’s face very clearly, but...
The man standing at the entrance of the security passage tonight and looking at him, both in terms of body shape and temperament, is exactly the same as the tall man seven years ago. The other person also took the initiative to stare at him for two seconds. The more he recalled, the more he felt that the man was the tall man he had seen seven years ago, and he wanted to ask Rum for confirmation.
In addition, he also wanted to find out whether the man stared at him tonight because he recognized him...
...
Chi Feichi received Rum’s reply when he returned to the apartment and took the elevator upstairs.
[He is indeed my man. He was on a mission outside tonight. It was a coincidence that he met you. Since you can be sure that he was staring at you, he may have recognized you. After all, your eye color is very rare. But it doesn’t matter if he recognized you. He doesn’t know your identity. If he asks about the encounter seven years ago, I will find a random reason to explain it. ——Rum]
