Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 110 Lucas's Visit (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

April 21, 1980, the seventh day of the third month in the lunar calendar, Monday.

"Brother Song, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to your house anymore!" Ah Lin felt more tired than going to school this Sunday because of Li Song's antics.

"Okay, I'll prepare a small gift for you next week." Li Song planned to give the pink diamond to Arlene next week.

"What gift?" Arlene asked, her eyes lighting up again.

"This is a secret!" Li Song chuckled. He had been busy all week, and Sunday was the only day he could have fun. If you didn't come, how would he have fun by himself?

The problem is that I want to find someone to play a game with, but there's no one available.

If we could find someone else to play the game, then we wouldn't necessarily choose Arlene.

“Alright then!” Arlene nodded.

Li Song dropped A Lin off at school, and just then someone came to hail a taxi.

In the distance, inside a van, several people quickly lowered their heads.

Li Song was somewhat suspicious, but he did not go forward to check.

After Li Song left in the taxi, the person in the back of the van looked up and shouted, "Brother Dong, he's gone, that guy's gone."

"Damn it!"

"What are you doing?"

"Why is it that bastard again!" It turned out that the person sitting in the van was Ah Dong.

"We need someone surnamed Guan to call back; we can't take this job."

"That's right, the guy surnamed Guan even said he's just an ordinary little boy!"

"Damn it, the boy his daughter found is nowhere near young."

"Are you all idiots? Didn't you recognize that the girl surnamed Guan is the one we saw that night?"

"Dude, it was dark that night, and besides, that woman was hiding behind that bastard!"

"Exactly, but the daughter of the Guan family is really beautiful."

"Damn it, hurry up and drive! Didn't you see that bastard glance at us as he left?" Inside the van, voices of mutual grumbling rose and fell.

It turned out to be Arlene's father. Knowing that his daughter wasn't coming home because she was with a young man, he found some acquaintances to teach the young man a lesson.

These "social figures" are Ah Dong and his group.

After Li Cong got home, he called Liu Jiale.

"Boss, Lucas won't arrive until after 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"He departed at 8:00 AM on Monday, Amer time."

"You can decide how to arrange it then!" Liu Jiale had already made an appointment with Lucas.

"Let him stay at my place then!" The main problem is that there are too many paparazzi in Hong Kong Island, and staying in a hotel would make him easy to be discovered. Besides, Li Song doesn't want to be exposed yet.

"Alright then!" Liu Jiale knew, of course, that Li Song's house was very spacious!
Li Song tidied up the house, threw away the washing machine that needed to be thrown away, and then called the cleaning service.

There were originally two cleaners who came to clean every Wednesday.

Since Lucas is coming tomorrow, we might as well ask them to clean again today.

The cleaning staff arrived quickly. The two cleaning ladies were very efficient and worked quickly without making much noise.

However, Liu Jiale called again at noon: "Boss, do you want to take a look at the list of the inspection team from the mainland?"

"They acted very quickly; they sent over a list of thirty people for inspection today!"

"If there are no objections, they will come to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Song said, "From now on, you'll be in charge of these matters!"

"OK then."

After the two women finished cleaning, Li Song asked, "Can you cook? I have another group of three or four guests coming tomorrow, and I'd like to hire someone to cook!" "What dishes would you like, boss?" the two women, who looked to be in their fifties, asked.

"A sweet and sour pork rib, a poached chicken, a spring roll, a shrimp dumpling, stuffed tofu, and honey-glazed char siu!" Li Song knew that most Westerners would find it difficult to accept some strong flavors at first.

“No problem, boss!” The two aunties nodded.

"Here's the money for groceries. Take it and see what you need in the kitchen. We'll eat this for lunch tomorrow. As for what we'll eat for dinner, we'll talk about that later."

"Also, make a larger portion!"

"I'll pay you double the wages then," Li Song said.

"Thank you, boss. We'll come tomorrow morning." Upon hearing this, the two women accepted the money from Li Song.

In the afternoon, Tian Jiahui delivered the car.

The dark green body and square headlights give it a rugged and domineering feel.

Li Song looked inside the trunk and indeed found a large toolbox welded there.

The toolbox was also full of tools.

Li Song drove around for a while and then dropped Tian Jiahui off at the company.

Then the car was parked in the underground parking garage.

"I don't know when the bodyguards will arrive, but they should be here soon." Li Song knew that the bodyguards he had hired in the mainland would need to settle into their homes, so it would take some time.

The next morning, around 8 a.m., the two aunties arrived with various things to start preparing the meal.

Li Song also went out to pick up Liu Jiale first, and then went to the airport to pick up Lucas.

Actually, the airport is right across from Taikoo Shing, but there is no Eastern Harbour Crossing yet, so you have to go through the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Crossing.

Kai Tak Airport is known as one of the ten most dangerous airports in the world.

"Boss!" Liu Jiale felt a little nervous.

After all, the other party is an internationally renowned director and screenwriter.

"He's not asking you for a single penny, what are you so worried about!"

"He also has a head, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth!"

"It's not like I'm going to bite you!" Li Song teased Liu Jiale with a smile.

"boss!"

"Go and pick them up!" Li Song said.

So Liu Jiale went to pick him up, bringing a piece of cardboard with a big Ace of Spades drawn on it, because Lucas's visit was kept secret.

Lucas was born in 1944 and is now 36 years old. He is wearing a blue-black jacket over a black shirt and a blue tie.

Wearing jeans, black leather shoes, a hat, and sunglasses, he walked towards the car with Liu Jiale.

Liu Jiale was whispering something when Lucas took off his hat, revealing a head of black hair with golden ends; he was a handsome man.

Li Song was waiting in front of the car. When he saw Liu Jiale and Lucas coming over, he quickly went up to them and said, "Welcome, Mr. Lucas!"

"Oh!!!"

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure, because you're so different from what I imagined!" Lucas looked at the tall and handsome Li Song, because in Lucas's mind, people from East Asia were all shorter.

I just didn't expect it to be taller than me, almost five inches taller.

Moreover, the other party was too young, younger than I had imagined.

“Mr. Lucas, my name is Li Song. You are even more handsome than I imagined. I thought you were a pot-bellied old white man!” Li Song chuckled and extended his hand to shake hands.

“Oh! It seems we both have… a smug impression of each other,” Lucas said with a chuckle.
