When he heard Uncle Ben mention Gwen, Peter quickly said:

"Gwen is back home now. She probably won't come to see me today. She is also tired from the few days of hiking and needs a good rest."

This set of words was something Peter and Gwen had discussed with each other a long time ago.

In order to avoid being noticed by Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei, they began to worry about whether Peter had secrets to hide from them.

At this moment, Aunt Mei also walked out of the kitchen.

When she saw that Peter had returned home safely, Aunt Mei also had a very warm smile on her face.

"Why didn't you say hello to us in advance when you came back? I haven't even started cooking dinner yet!"

Peter put down his backpack, took out a bottle of frozen mineral water from the refrigerator and drank it.

It wasn't until he drank all the mineral water in one breath that Peter finally felt that his dry throat was moisturized again.

"I was in a hurry to get back to drink water, but I forgot to tell Aunt Mei in advance. Why don't we order takeout tonight? Anyway, we haven't had authentic Italian pizza for a long time."

Uncle Ben, who was about to continue reading the newspaper, immediately put down the newspaper when he heard that Peter wanted to order takeout.

"No, Peter, you must be starving after being out for so many days. Let's eat something good today."

nice one?

Aunt Mei looked at Uncle Ben in confusion, not knowing what he was referring to.

With a mysterious smile on his face, Uncle Ben took out a leaflet with many folding marks from behind his back.

"This Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown happens to be having an anniversary event. If you go to eat today, you can get a 30% discount. Don't cook tonight, just go there to eat!"

Looking at the flyer in Uncle Ben's hand, Peter's eyes showed a hint of understanding.

Therefore, Peter also said to Uncle Ben with a hint of ridicule:

"Uncle Ben, have you already prepared to go there with Aunt Mei for dinner tonight and spend time together? It seems like I'm going to be a light bulb today!"

Aunt Mei also glanced at Uncle Ben with a strange look.

When did this stupid piece of wood become so sentimental?

Uncle Ben also coughed twice quickly, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"What do children know? Don't talk nonsense. I picked up the flyer from the roadside. It was just a coincidence."

"Okay, okay! It's whatever Uncle Ben says. It's just a coincidence, not a deliberate arrangement."

"It's good that you know. Why don't you go back to your room and change clothes quickly? We are about to leave for Chinatown. Fortunately, I have booked a place in advance."

…

When Uncle Ben drove his rather dilapidated Ford car to Chinatown in Queens.

It’s already time for the lanterns to start lighting up.

Both sides of the road are lined with distinctive Chinese restaurant signs, with neon lights flashing constantly.

Seeing these familiar street scenes through the car window, Peter felt a little nostalgic.

Soon, the Ford sedan stopped in front of a rather large Chinese restaurant.

Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant has arrived.

The luxurious decoration of this Chinese restaurant should be considered one of the best in the entire Chinatown.

I just don't know how the food here tastes.

Peter is quite picky about the taste of Chinese food.

If it is the kind of American Chinese food that deliberately caters to local tastes and loses the soul and essence of Chinese food.

For example, Peter didn't even bother to eat things like Zuo Zongtang chicken.

However, when Peter entered the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant, he immediately gave up this small worry.

Because most of the customers here have black hair and dark eyes, this is the best proof of authentic Chinese food.

And the seats were almost packed, and business was extremely good.

Soon, Uncle Ben was brought to the table he had reserved.

The dining table is located close to the window, and you can see the street view. You can tell at a glance that it was a specially selected location.

Peter and Aunt May took their seats one by one, and Uncle Ben began to order.

During this period, Peter was also skillfully pouring tea and washing dishes, which attracted the attention of the waiters who were placing orders.

After ordering the dishes, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei also started chatting.

Peter played with his mobile phone for a while, then looked up and looked around in boredom.

Suddenly, Peter's eyes stopped on a dining table in the far corner.

There were two people sitting at that dining table, a man and a woman. The woman among them looked quite young, probably only in her early twenties.

The man looked much older, about forty years old, with a slicked back hair, a beard, and a purple-black suit.

But the golden watch deliberately exposed from the man's wrist, as well as the very gloomy gaze.

The first impression I made on Peter was not a good one!

However, it was not the man who deserved Peter's attention, but the woman.

The young woman has long, shiny black hair, which makes her skin extremely fair.

She has beautiful facial features and a hint of heroism.

Wearing a black jacket and denim trousers, he looked very smart.

However, what Peter is concerned about is not the appearance of this woman, because compared to Gwen, this woman is obviously far inferior.

What Peter paid attention to was actually the look in this woman's eyes.

Although the young woman looked like everything was normal, there was a hint of confusion in her dark brown eyes.

Even when he was eating, his eyes didn't feel focused at all.

Only when the man opposite speaks, the young woman's eyes will turn to look at the man.

And Peter always felt that this young woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her for a while.

Therefore, Peter couldn't help but feel a little abnormal in his heart.

"It's really strange! With such eyes, he doesn't look like a normal person at all!"

"More like a puppet without a mind of its own."

Intuition was telling Peter that there was something wrong with that man, very wrong.

While Aunt May and Uncle Ben were still chatting next to them, Peter continued to observe secretly.

After a few minutes, the man and young woman seemed to have had enough to eat and drink.

The man raised his arm and waved to a waiter.

The waiter walked up to the man and saw the man whispering something to the waiter.

Peter guessed what the man had just said through the changes in his mouth movements.

"I've already paid."

The waiter's eyes instantly became blank, and then he watched the man and the young woman get up and leave.

Peter's eyes flickered and he stood up.

"Hypnosis? And it's instant hypnosis, without any props or psychological preparation. It's almost impossible to achieve!"

"Unless he has super powers...it seems necessary to investigate. This guy is probably not a good person."

Uncle Ben looked at Peter who stood up and left a little strangely.

"The food is about to be served, Peter, where are you going?"

"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Uncle Ben, you eat first and don't worry about me!"

Peter nodded apologetically to Uncle Ben, turned around and walked out of the door of the Chinese restaurant.
