When we arrived in Los Angeles, someone came to pick us up, but they were only Hong Kong residents from the Hong Kong office in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles government only sent a foreign representative to welcome us.

Levi's has no experience in protecting political figures in Hong Kong. I don't know if this is a rule or an exception. But after all, Hong Kong is just a city. If the financial secretary of a city is invited to visit, the standards should not be much higher, right?

At the airport, the staff who came to greet him reported the situation to Zhou Yufu’s secretary and talked about some arrangements for the itinerary, vehicles, hotels, etc. Everyone had rested on the plane and was not in a bad state of mind due to jet lag.

good.

Levis and Ye Tan stood behind Zhou Yufu, keeping a certain distance so as not to affect his communication with others and to be able to take action in time when there was danger. Qin Yao followed the secretary and reception staff,

She needs to understand the actual arrangements so that she can make adjustments to the information.

Just when everything was in order, several Americans hurried over.

Their appearance made a group of Hong Kong people pay more attention, and they were also attracted by this group of Hong Kong people.

Seeing them coming, at first some people thought they were people arranged by the Los Angeles City Council, but when they saw that the representative looked confused at first and these people seemed to be coming with bad intentions, they all became quiet.

Soon, the staff who came to pick up the plane, including representatives from the Los Angeles City Council, started negotiating with this group of people. Most of the Hong Kong people spoke English and listened carefully, without the need for translation, and they all understood what was going on.

"Are you Chinese or Taiwanese? Please show your passport, we want to check it."

"Who are you? We have all passed the customs and immigration police."

Levis saw that during the negotiation, only one person was left. The others had separated and came among everyone to ask for questioning.

"CTU, anti-terrorism team, please cooperate!" A burly old American said expressionlessly, seeming a little dissatisfied with everyone's delay.

These people claimed to be from the Los Angeles branch of the anti-terrorism team CTU, and they were just doing a routine check with suspicion. As for their identities, after checking, there was no problem. However, the city staff also brought their IDs. The time was not maintained.

After a while, municipal staff participated in the negotiations and explained clearly to these counter-terrorism personnel.

After understanding the situation, they were not embarrassed to say anything, and the leader asked the others to leave.

This was just a small episode, and it did not affect everyone for a long time, but everyone had a knot in their hearts. What is this? Discrimination against Chinese people? Should Chinese people who gather in crowds be treated with suspicion?

From beginning to end, Levis, like Ye Tan, did not say a word. They all paid attention to these American CTU team members, and he also felt that these people seemed to pay special attention to him, although they did not directly talk to him.

This is the first time he has come to the United States since returning to the 21st century. Regarding the attitude of these American anti-terrorism agents, he hopes it is because of his connections. Although the CTU and CIA are different systems, they are both from the United States.

It is very normal for intelligence agencies to have contacts. It is just a "coincidence" created because of him. He can accept it better, which is better than the discrimination against Chinese people.

On the surface, no one was affected. They quickly got into the car that picked them up and rushed to the arranged hotel. They completed the check-in procedures.

According to the itinerary, there is no official reception event in the afternoon. Everyone is allowed to rest in the hotel to catch up on jet lag and make preparations. There will be a small welcome banquet in the evening. Tomorrow morning will be a formal business exchange and negotiation meeting, as well as a series of

Visits, negotiations, etc. However, Zhou Yufu has also arranged to meet with two guests in the afternoon.

Levis and Ye Tan live in a guest room, right next to the suite where Zhou Yufu lives. According to regulations, they must keep Zhou Yufu within sight at all times without disturbing him in his office and meeting guests. Of course, this kind of range is more

What's more, when they go out and stay in a hotel room, they don't necessarily have to be in the room for personal protection.

Although it was rest time in the afternoon, no one actually took a rest. Except for Levi's and the others, who had to protect Zhou Yufu's safety, Zhou Yufu had a tight schedule and had to meet guests. The accompanying staff also had no time to rest and were preparing.

The welcome dinner to be attended tonight and the various affairs tomorrow. The accompanying businessmen are basically here with commercial tasks. Until the work is completed, they are no more relaxed than the government workers.

After Zhou Yufu received the guests, they rested in the guest room for a while. Levis, Ye Tan, and Qin Yao had a short meeting. Qin Yao got the latest information about tonight's welcome banquet, which you can see tonight

The welcome banquet is really just a small party. Some of the city officials participating, others are local businessmen who focus on investment in Hong Kong, and representatives of Hong Kong businessmen in Los Angeles.

What Qin Yao got, he already had a partial list and photos, which he put on his laptop for everyone to familiarize themselves with and memorize.

The meeting between the three people was very brief because no one had much to say. Basically, Qin Yao gave a brief introduction, then read the information, and finally briefly communicated the key points that had questions.

When we arrived at the banquet venue, although the scene was relatively simple and there were not many people, there were dozens of people from both sides combined.

Since this is a welcome dinner for foreign guests, it is also a social gathering to warm up for many upcoming activities. Although it is the Los Angeles Finance Bureau that invited Zhou Yufu, even the mayor of Los Angeles is here tonight.

The scene is very harmonious. Business cooperation and the like will be launched at a formal meeting tomorrow. Tonight is just a place for everyone to get to know each other. However, these are only for government officials. The accompanying Hong Kong businessmen and Los Angeles port businessmen

Representatives, businessmen from Los Angeles, have already known each other about the identities of the participants. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and time is life. For projects that they are interested in, they are all rushing to find targets to negotiate with and test their intentions.

The confrontations, contests, and courtesy of these people had no impact on Levis and the others. Although there were no safety issues in such an occasion, they did not relax at all. The three of them stood in three different places.

I am not always following Director Zhou, but I can notice any of his movements at any time.

The dinner didn't last long, and it ended at 9:30 in the evening. Then there were private activities. Many businessmen who had expressed interest in each other at the banquet just now would find another place to discuss in detail.

They were not within the protection range, so Zhou Yufu and others took the car directly back to the hotel.

It was very safe along the way.

Even Levi, who believed that the CIA had ulterior motives, had no doubts about this. After all, if a business delegation visits when there are no sensitive economic issues, there will be no terrorists targeting the government's Financial Secretary.

However, he is still very careful. Since the Americans are likely to seek revenge on him, causing trouble to the Financial Secretary is also a very good way for Levis, one of the people assigned to protect him.

Today's activities are over. Zhou Yufu didn't waste any time. He returned to the hotel and started to rest. There are still many things to do starting tomorrow, and he must maintain his energy.

It is easier for bodyguards to not go out or receive visitors.

Levi's and Ye Tan took turns to protect Ye Tan. A few hours in front of Ye Tan, Levi's in the next few hours. So at this moment, Levi's should have taken the time to rest, but at this moment, he appeared outside the hotel and got into a car.

Cars parked outside.

The black car started driving immediately after he got in and quickly disappeared in front of the hotel.

Qin Yao, who followed from a distance, looked at the car going away, thoughtfully, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

Levi's man was in the car, he was the only one in the back seat, and there was a driver in front. There were no lights on in the car, so it might be difficult for ordinary people to see the person in front of him clearly, but he could basically confirm the appearance of the person driving in front of him.

"Where to go?"

After hearing Levi's question in English, the black man driving the car gave him a cold look in the rearview mirror. After more than ten seconds, he slowly replied: "You'll know when you get there."

Lai Driving was just a small person, and he wouldn't learn anything useful from him. Levis closed his eyes, didn't look at him, didn't talk anymore, and didn't even look at the streets on both sides.

His attitude surprised the black driver in front of him. He didn't expect him to be so calm. As a foreigner who had just arrived in Los Angeles, even if he dared to follow him boldly, he should always pay attention to the driving route outside.

Bar?

Of course he didn't know that before Levis came here, he had carefully looked at the most detailed map of Los Angeles that he could find. Now whether he could look at the streets outside would have no impact on Levis, just by the speed of driving.
