Chapter 29 end

The Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok has been reopened to the public for more than two months, but until now it is still full of soldiers from the "peacekeeping force" patrolling around. Rachel saw soldiers with light machine guns coming and going every minute outside the glass doors of the special waiting room.She didn't feel nervous, and their black uniforms gave her a strong sense of security—she would always remember how she survived that day. Rachel took a sip of the coffee in the paper cup, closed her eyes and felt the warm liquid flow into her stomach, and the pleasure of caffeine rising into her head.A simple cup of coffee has already brought happiness like ascension to heaven.Just because you have experienced too much, you will know how to be grateful.

She looked at the familiar yet distant green logo on the paper cup.After the airport reopened, there were very few restaurants, and Starbucks was one of the first to recover.You have to admire the strong vitality of the chain store.Like a soldier's uniform, the chain's logo gave Rachel a sense of reassurance: regularity, no surprises—a life she thought she'd never have the chance to enjoy again. Rachel put down the coffee cup, picked up the cookie and carefully tore open the package, and handed it to Jizi's mouth.Ji Zai took a bite, without looking at her, his eyes were fixed on the screen of the laptop, and his fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard.

"It's amazing." Vice President Ma, who was sitting on the other side of Jizai, said in Mandarin, smiling at the line of code written by Jizai.Beside the three of them stood five burly men in black suits, who looked like bodyguards no matter what. They are waiting for the plane of "Guangxiang Technology Group" to land and take them to the headquarters in Beijing. "Guangxiang" hired Jizi as a special consultant for the network technology department with an eight-figure annual salary.Their legal team successfully bypassed many legal difficulties and let Rachel, as a partner, sign all relevant documents on behalf of Jizi. Rachel has long learned from the Internet that the "Guangxiang Group" is a private company on the surface, but it is actually a military industrial unit of the Chinese military. After Jizi entered, it is likely that he will be responsible for deciphering military codes.But she doesn't care.As long as I can get out of this damn place.What's more, "Guang Xiang" promised to hire the best medical team and psychotherapist to treat Jizi with all his strength. This condition alone is already irresistible.

It will take a while. Rachel turns on her iPad 4 to check the latest news.Entertainment news dominated the pages, still reporting Hollywood and Beijing scrambling to make "Hong Kong Shutdown" feature films.Although American companies have the advantages of digital special effects, Beijing China Film Group has locked in all the most popular Chinese stars, which is quite a headache for Hollywood. Director James Cameron announced the solution yesterday. He simply used unknown American actors for all the actors, and only later used digital special effects to "transform" them into Chinese.

Rachel was totally uninterested and turned to another page. Hong Kong’s reconstruction plan is still under discussion. According to sources in Beijing, the current mainstream opinion is that it is impossible to completely restore the previous Hong Kong. The reason is that it involves too large an immigration plan. Therefore, only four areas are designated: upper middle and upper Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok each set up an "autonomous economic zone", which is open to any corporate consortium to bid for and operate. As long as the bidder pays the royalties, he will have a high degree of autonomy including immigration and security.To put it bluntly, these areas are "outsourced" to private companies, and the government has completely given up participation.

When Rachel read the news, she found that the content kept avoiding the fact that if this plan comes true, there will be no "Hong Kong" in the future. She was not in the mood to continue reading, so she played the game "Push the Silver Boy" to pass the time.She doesn't particularly like the game, it's just that she doesn't have to think about it while playing. "It's here, we can get on the plane." One of the bodyguards said after listening to the headset call. The six of them stepped out of the waiting room and walked along the aisle.Jizi kept dragging Rachel's hand, looking like an idiot.

Rachel didn't know what he was thinking.May never know.At this time, a voice came from behind: "Hello!" Before turning around, Rachel just heard the voice, and a chill rose up Rachel's spine. Even though Double Eagle Dragon had dyed his hair back to black and grown a beard, Rachel still recognized him at a glance—how could he not?Brother Long was just like Rachel and the others, surrounded by bodyguards and a guy who looked like an administrator.The difference is that all the people around him are foreigners. "What a coincidence..." Brother Long wanted to get closer, but when he looked at Rachel's bodyguard, he stopped and raised his hands to signal that he was not malicious.

Rachel felt that Jizi's palm was full of sweat, and it hurt to hold her hand. "We can meet again before leaving Hong Kong, we are really destined..." Long Ge said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you still angry? Come on, Rachel, I just did what I had to, it's not personal. ——Haha, In order to prepare to live in the United States, I have been practicing English for a while, do you speak well?" Rachel didn't answer, but just stared at Brother Long fiercely. "In fact, I should say 'Thank You' to you. If it weren't for what you brought me, I would still stay in this ruined city." Long Ge said proudly.

The "things" he was talking about were the investigative report materials written by the reporter Lao Ma, as well as the recording of Professor Lai's speech at the Victoria Park Conference.He used these sensitive materials to make a deal with the US intelligence agencies and obtained political asylum. Not only was he not subject to any prosecution, but he also received US citizenship and a large sum of money. They'd even pay for laser surgery to remove the pair of flying eagle tattoos on his chest—in short, to start a new, comfortable life with another identity, where no one knew him.

Seeing that Rachel didn't respond, Brother Long shrugged and walked to the tarmac with the bodyguards first. Rachel watched his back.She knew that this was not the last time she saw Brother Long.Will see him often in the future. in a nightmare.
