Chapter 68 The Truth Revealed
Gao Fangfang stared at Gao Dongxu with a scrutinizing glint in her eyes and said, "You must be hiding something from me, kid. Never mind, you're not a child anymore. But don't do anything dangerous. You're the only one left in the Gao family..."

"Don't worry, I haven't enjoyed enough of the wealth and glory in this world, so I won't take any risks." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"You understand best." Gao Fangfang nodded, then checked the time and said, "We've been flying for 16 hours. Take a shower and change your clothes first. Then we'll go have a nice meal."

"Okay——" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

In the bathroom, Gao Dongxu looked at the neatly folded, brand new, white bath towels, towels, and bathrobes, and couldn't help but feel warmed by his cousin's attentiveness and meticulousness. At the same time, he felt even more disgusted with the Hou family who was trying to climb up the social ladder.

If Gao Fangfang hadn't been heartbroken, she wouldn't have left the country.

Dabiel, a French restaurant located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, where rich people and celebrities gather, is run by Dabiel, one of New York's most famous celebrity chefs.

"...He's also New York's longest-serving four-star chef. To welcome you home, I even contacted my teacher and managed to jump the queue and book a table here..."

While admiring the restaurant's decoration, which was like a French bistro, gorgeous but not ostentatious, I listened to Gao Fangfang's deliberate bragging.

"Sister, you've taken the trouble." Gao Dongxu was very grateful and tactfully picked up the joke, "It seems that you're really doing a good job here, sister."

"That's for sure, otherwise your sister and I wouldn't have been able to enter the Puruganan laboratory right after graduation."

Gao Fangfang was really happy that Gao Dongxu could come to New York. She completely took off her disguise and showed off her achievements to her family.

"Haha, sister, since you are so good, can you take me to the gun store tomorrow to play? I want to play with guns and have some fun--" Gao Dongxu first put Gao Fangfang on the stand, and then put forward his request.

"You little brat, are you trying to embarrass me?" Gao Fangfang glanced at Gao Dongxu unhappily, then raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smug smile, "This really can't embarrass me. I actually know a gun shop owner..."

"Huh? Really?" Gao Dongxu showed a surprised expression.

"Of course, that was a year ago. There were 11 shootings in Brooklyn in one day, making everyone in New York feel insecure. My mentor advised me to buy a gun for self-defense and personally took me to a gun store called Westside Rifle & Pistol Range.

My mentor told me that this gun shop is one of only 21 licensed gun dealers in New York City, one of only two gun shops that legally sell handguns, and the only privately owned shooting range. And the owner of this gun shop is Chinese, and he's also the king of guns in New York...

At this time, the restaurant waiter began to serve the dishes, and Gao Fangfang smiled and spoke to Gao Dongxu in Mandarin.

"Then I must go and see it tomorrow." A glint of light flashed in Gao Dongxu's eyes. To be known as the Gun King in New York, which owns the Continental Hotel and countless underground forces, this gun shop owner is definitely not an ordinary person. The way to buy guns, which he had no idea about at first, might fall on this Gun King.

"Well, okay, I'll give him a call later. Manager Liang is a very enthusiastic person. However, although he is of Chinese descent, he is a native New Yorker. He doesn't speak Cantonese, let alone Mandarin. But there is a Cantonese phrase he speaks very "standard", which is "Tangren help Tangren." Gao Fangfang introduced with a smile.

"Haha, this guy is quite interesting." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, while frantically searching in his mind to see if there was a character in a movie or American TV series that fits the description.

Unfortunately, after racking my brains, I still couldn’t find a suitable identity image. I can only wait and see after meeting the person in person tomorrow.

"Well, all my gun skills were taught to me by Manager Liang, from the basics like washing your hands after shooting to prevent lead poisoning, to advanced tips on how to use a gun for self-defense in dangerous situations. Manager Liang even taught me a few tricks specifically. Only then did I realize that even if you have a gun, if you don't know how to use it, you won't necessarily be able to protect yourself..."

Hearing this, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and teased: "Sister, is he interested in you?"

"What nonsense—" Gao Fangfang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Manager Liang's eldest son is already in college. He has a happy family and is very happy. He's just a warm-hearted and loyal person, a lot like the big brother next door in those Hong Kong dramas we used to watch..."

"Okay, it seems that I misunderstood. But, sister, has no one pursued you in these years?" Gao Dongxu picked up the knife and fork, and while enjoying the food prepared by the Michelin three-star chef, he asked Gao Fangfang about her relationship status.

"Yes, but after dating for a while, I felt that we were not suitable. Love is a matter of fate..." Gao Fangfang said with a smile.

Gao Dongxu knew that his cousin had not completely forgotten the man surnamed Hou, but she had already moved on. Who doesn't have a past that is hard to let go of?

"What about you? Haven't you got a new girlfriend recently?"

"Well, I got a flight attendant. She is not only beautiful, but also has a perfect figure. I like her very much." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Oh? What's your name? Do you have a photo? Let me see..." Gao Fangfang's beautiful eyes lit up, and her gossipy spirit was ignited.

"Shang Youyou..." As he said that, he took out his cell phone, found a photo of Shang Youyou and handed it to Gao Fangfang.

"She is really pretty. Wow, with such a fierce figure, what did she eat to grow it... I'm going to make you unhappy... Hehe..." Gao Fangfang commented in a somewhat exaggerated and joking manner.

Gao Dongxu shook his head and laughed, then said seriously, "Although I'm not very picky about food, I still love things that I can't hold in one hand."

"You hooligan, you're still such a scumbag - hehe..." Gao Fangfang complained unhappily, then laughed happily with Gao Dongxu.

"Dongxu, I haven't been this happy in a long time..."

After the big meal, Gao Fangfang was a little tipsy because she drank an extra bottle of red wine out of joy. She sat in the back seat of the taxi with Gao Dongxu. She leaned on Gao Dongxu's shoulder and smiled softly with a smile on her lips.

"Sister, don't be hard on yourself. Living a happy life is more important than anything else. Don't think about or care about annoying things that are beyond your control. Live your life well, so that your life in this world will not be in vain..." Gao Dongxu looked at the brilliant neon lights outside the taxi window and comforted her softly.

Hearing the implication in Gao Dongxu's words, Gao Fangfang was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head and smiled bitterly, "You know it too?"

"Well, in the past two years, I not only collected antiques everywhere, but also hired a top private detective... After all, we all need him as a big tree to shelter us from the wind and rain. I don't want him to get into trouble, and then find out some problems..." Gao Dongxu did not hide it and spoke in a low voice in Mandarin.

"I never thought he would be that kind of person..." Gao Fangfang was extremely depressed, with resentment and sadness in her eyes, and she choked with tears.

"It's not his fault. He doesn't know that he is being plotted against—" Gao Dongxu dropped a bombshell.

"What?!" Gao Fangfang sat up suddenly, her tearful eyes filled with shock and anger.

"who is it?!"

Gao Dongxu looked at the somewhat excited Gao Fangfang, pondered for a moment and said, "I'll tell you in detail when we get home."

"Okay..." Gao Fangfang quickly reached out and wiped away her tears. She said to the driver in English, "Drive faster. Thank you."

The black driver raised his eyebrows and winked at Gao Dongxu in the rearview mirror with an ambiguous look on his face, as if he had misunderstood the relationship between the two siblings, making Gao Dongxu laugh and cry.

 Due to force majeure, the characters in "In the Name" can only be understood, not written down. I hope everyone understands. Of course, understanding will not affect your reading experience, after all, the plot is well known. Of course, you should not comment by name. Thank you for your cooperation. Once again, I beg for collection, monthly tickets, follow-up reading, recommendation tickets, and all kinds of requests!!!
