「You said you can take us to see him.

The question is why should I trust you.」

The girl couldn’t believe the stranger in front of her.

After all, her brother had been missing for a long time, and how did she find this man.

「We are his friends.

There is something I want to find him.」

Tom had no choice but to lie, just to make the girl in front of him trust him.

「I do not believe.

Do you have any evidence to prove it.」

The girl is still very defensive.

She didn’t let her guard down just because the man knew her brother.

「This is his photo.

Why don’t you take a look.」

In order to gain the trust of these family members, Tom really did not scrutinize any means, and even took out secret photos.

「Yes, that’s right.

He is my brother.

But my parents are not at home now.

How about you waiting outside.」

Although the girl glanced at the photo, she closed the door directly, and the person who appeared in front of her couldn’t completely believe it anyway.

「Oh my God, I’m so exhausted.

I didn’t expect this woman to be so defensive.

And Alex doesn’t have two younger brothers.

How could it be a younger sister.」

Tom muttered to himself as he walked back to the car, he also began to suspect that part of Alex’s personal information was flawed.

「 Maybe I don’t want everyone to know his family.

Besides, he is a successful cook.」

Andy seems right to say that, besides, he doesn’t belong to this country.

「I didn’t expect it.

I think maybe even his experience of winning the prize may be problematic.」

Tom seems to be suspicious of Alex’s cooking skills, because if even his family can cheat.

「of course.

And the investigation must be clear.」

Andy has already been investigating, but there is no definite news yet.

「They are coming.

We better solve the current problem first.」

Just after Tom and Andy discussed things, Alex’s so-called family has returned.

「right here.

get off.」

Tom and the others stopped in front of a beautiful bungalow after several hours.

「Is the address written right?」

Andy still seems reluctant to open the door, even if he has already been to the place where Alex lived.

「 certainly.

Don’t you believe me.」

Tom has already surveyed here once, how could he be unfamiliar with it.

「Because you don’t seem to take this matter to heart.」

Of course Andy doesn’t worry about handing it over to this younger brother, after all, he is also easy to make mistakes sometimes.

「 It’s better for me to ring the bell.」

Tom had no choice but to open the driver’s door, and Andy was reluctant to get out of the car anyway.

「That’s fine too.

I’m waiting for you.」

Andy thinks that if he finds the wrong house, he will look for it elsewhere, so that he won’t waste time.

「 Ding Dong

Are you?」

It was a girl who opened the door, or a girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

「Are you Alex’s family?」

Although Tom was surprised, he didn’t say anything.

After all, business is more important.

「Yes, he is my brother.」

The girl obviously feels strange to this older brother who has been missing for many years, and that’s what happened when she was a child.

「Do you want to see him?

Maybe I can take you there.」

Tom knew that such a question was a bit strange, but he chose to speak up.

Just because they want to find a clue.

「Please, don’t be nervous.

Let’s take it slowly.

You should relax at this time.」

Tom was still washing his face with mineral water over there, not at all worried about the waiting journey.

「Take your time like you do.

May I ask when we can arrive.」

Andy seems to regret coming over with Tom, after all, this journey is not here for fun.

「Hi, what are you doing here.

Do you want to play with us?」

At this time, a car came, or a red convertible, with all beautiful women in the car.

It was obvious that they were just hitting up a conversation.

「no, thank you.

We are very busy now.」

Tom consciously refuses, and if he really agrees, it will be himself who will suffer later.

「You can get in the car now.

I can guarantee that you will never get in the car again.

I will leave you here.」

Andy’s threat is obviously very useful, because Tom is finally willing to get in the car.

「Of course, we are leaving now.

What are you waiting for.」

Tom really didn’t dare to delay for a moment, because he was really worried that he would be left behind, and Andy was a person who really did what he said.

「 你找到地址了嗎？

畢竟還要找去那裡的交通工具。」

這時的俊朋他們已經上了飛機，現正是在等候起飛的時間。

「這個我要再確認一下。」

阿望也不能隨便就給一個答案，畢竟他們現在可是在趕時間。

「那你調查到後再告訴我。

現在到目的地之前，都不要吵醒我。

我要睡覺了。」

俊朋飛了好幾個鐘頭的飛機，但是其實都沒怎麼睡覺，現在才終於能休息一下。

「知道了，先生。」

阿望基本上沒有重要的事情，是不可能叫醒俊朋的，畢竟他真的都沒有什麼睡。

名利跑馬燈〈暗中〉363利

「這真好吃。

這個叫什麼。」

俊朋現在的注意力只集中在食物身上，老實說他根本就不擔心Alex 的問題。

「三明治。」

阿望看俊朋好像很喜歡的樣子，他也樂的很，反正這本來就是要給先生吃的。

「你剛剛不是說要去找他的家人。

資料上應該有地址。

等我們吃完後就過去。

而且必須要暗中過去。」

俊朋吃的差不多了，才終於開始進入正題，畢竟該做的事情，還是要解決。

「那需要訂機票。」

阿望想著這裡離艾力克斯的故鄉還有好長一段距離。

先生應該是無法忍受長時間在車子的顛簸。

「嗯，沒錯。

我們最好趕快去趕快回來。

不然我怕那位大小姐就要衝過來了。」

俊朋純粹是害怕娜麗的壞脾氣，才如此，不然其實他也很想要慢慢來。

「好的。

那我現在馬上打電話預訂。」

阿望也不想先生遭殃，再說大小姐的脾氣，可是連他自己都知道的。

也虧先生還能忍得住，也只有先生才有辦法待在大小姐身邊。

While they were relaxing in New York, Andy and the others were already on the road, on their way to Alex’s hometown, and they were almost there.

After driving in a jeep for several days, I can only wash it briefly.

「It’s so refreshing.

Sure enough, it still has to be like this.」

Early in the morning, Tom started brushing his teeth again.

Anyway, if he doesn’t tidy up his appearance, he will never go on the road.

「Please get in the car quickly.

If you drag on like this, when will you reach your destination?」

Andy had been in the car early, and the most important thing was that he couldn’t stand Tom’s exaggerated movements.

「先生，我去買。

你找一個地方坐著等。」

阿望馬上就注意到俊朋正在看的方向，他當然也很樂意為自己的主人效勞。

「謝了。

呼，可以休息了。」

俊朋一坐在長椅，腦袋就馬上往後面放鬆，雙手也是往兩邊攤平。

「Next person.」

When Awang entered, the clerk was already calling for the next customer, and business seemed to be very good here.

It’s a cafe called Barco, which sells not only coffee, but also desserts and sandwiches.

I don’t know how much it will cost.

「I don’t know if my husband likes to serve sandwiches.

But the owner has never had coffee and food.」

As the guests in front moved forward one by one, Ngawang was still struggling.

「Sir, what would you like to order.」

The clerk turned to Ngawang impatiently, because he was obviously still thinking about it and didn’t plan to order.

「I want two beef sandwiches and two cups of coffee latte.」

Ngawang decided to take a gamble.

Besides, there are still many customers waiting, so it is always good for him to continue to hesitate.

「The total is $6.44.

Waiting by the side after ordering.」

The clerk went to work on his own business, and after receiving the money, he was busy taking orders for the next customer.

「This should be right.

Anyway, if the husband doesn’t eat it, he will just give it to me.」

While Awang was waiting next to him, he was fantasizing about what he was expecting could happen.

「來了啊。

你還真是久。」

俊朋等到都快睡著了，才終於看到阿望瘦弱的身影。

「我還買了三明治。

如果先生你不想吃的話也可以。」

阿望的手中是一個已經有點皺褶的牛皮紙袋，同時也是他拿來要效敬自己的。

「怎麼會。

正好可以配咖啡。

我們一人一個。」

誰知道俊朋很樂意的接過紙袋，反正剛剛的午餐，他吃的也不是很習慣。

「先生，那我們現在該怎麼辦。

難道你是想要去找他的家人。」

阿望吃的也是很好，但是他還不忘要討論剛剛未結束的話題。

名利跑馬燈〈污點〉361利

「 You are Mr. Lawrence.

Want to know about Alex.

Maybe I can tell you.」

It was actually a chef who came out, who happened to be a former colleague of Alex.

「That’s fine too.

how should I address you.」

Junpeng didn’t dare to stretch out his hand at will, lest he would be embarrassed again.

「My name is Hansen, the chef of this restaurant.

So what do you want to know about Alex.」

It turned out that this tall man was Hansen, and now it is better not to ask questions that would make him unhappy.

「How do you think Alex treats you colleagues.」

Of course, what Junpeng asked was not the question why reporters would normally ask why he succeeded.

He was not a reporter anyway.

「very good.」

Although he is very strict, he always teaches us juniors after get off work.

Unexpectedly, this Alex has such a good reputation in New York, it seems that it is impossible to start from here.

「So what do you think is the reason for Alex’s success.」

Junpeng immediately asked the next question, thinking that it was time to leave here.

「It’s hard work and talent.」

Hansen actually really thinks it is like this, because a chef needs it.

「Then I understand.

That’s it for today’s visit.

Thank you for accepting the interview of our magazine.」

Junpeng thought that he could not find the stain on Alex’s body, so it’s better to end this topic sooner.

「先生，我們不是要打聽他的弱點。

現在就出來的話，就什麼都問不到。」

阿望對於先生的意思，倒是很令人不解，畢竟這是目前最有利的證據。

「你不要擔心。

你沒看到他們都是站在Alex那邊。

我看從他們身上是挖不出什麼來的。」

俊朋就是深知這點，才趕緊從餐廳出來，再說他再待下去也只是浪費時間。

「這樣子要怎麼辦。

你肯定沒辦法向大小姐交代。」

阿望倒是很替這個主人擔心，畢竟他也見識過大小姐的壞脾氣。

「那可不一定。

也許我們可以從別的地方下手。

只是先去找喝的。

我剛剛講的，我很渴。」

俊朋看著旁邊的咖啡廳，注意力早就不在方才的對話上。

名利跑馬燈〈把柄〉360利

「先生，在這邊。

就是這間了。」

阿望他們照著資料上的地址，如願來到艾力克斯曾經駐足的痕跡。

「等一下你什麼都不用說。

我自已來問就好。」

俊朋可能是怕阿望會破壞他的事情，乾脆先一步給予警告。

「A few.

It’s together.」

The waiter didn’t mean to say hello, but rather said unceremoniously.

「Two people.」

Junpeng wouldn’t care too much, anyway, today’s focus is not to come to dinner.

「Sir, what would you like to order.」

Of course, Awang asked Junpeng to order him first, after all, he is his master.

「I want a vegetable salad for the appetizer.

The main dish is Wellington beef tenderloin.

Dessert to a Baked Alaska.」

Junpeng did not directly wave his hand to call the waiter over as usual in Taiwan, because in the West, this is very impolite behavior.

He can only gesture with his eyes.

「What to do.

Outsiders should not be allowed in the kitchen.

Old man.」

The waiters all stood in front of the kitchen because of Junpeng’s rude behavior.

「No, I’m a reporter from the Klein newspaper.

this is my name card.

I want to interview Alex, the award-winning chef.」

Junpeng has even designed a business card.

After all, his identity cannot be found by these people.

「Reporter?

To interview Alex.

But he has resigned.

I gonna go see.」

Someone really came out in the kitchen, but of course it was not Alex, but someone who knew Alex.

「Excuse me, I want to know about Alex

matter.

As long as it is anything.」

Junpeng just wanted to speak out from these people’s hands to see if he could catch Alex’s handle.

「What are you going to do now?

We shouldn’t wait for them here.」

Tom thought he was going to sabotage their plan in New York, so that the eldest lady would go crazy.

「don’t need to .

Let’s go directly to the place where Alex used to live.」

But Andy had a different plan.

He planned to go to the state of Asam, where Alex grew up.

「What are we going there?

Andy, did you make a mistake.

Here is Alex’s fatal injury.」

Of course Tom didn’t understand Andy’s meaning, instead he thought it was Andy’s wrong judgment.

「No, then you are wrong.

There is his most important fatal injury.

Things in New York are not enough to blow him.」

Andy insists on going to the hometown of Alex, because that is where everything comes from.

「Whatever you say, let’s go quickly anyway.

So as not to be preempted by them.」

Anyway, Andy’s opinion has never been wrong, so this time Tom also chose to believe it.

「How about driving.

Anyway, it will take at least several days.

Besides, it’s a little far away.」

Andy has prepared the car next to him, it’s just an old jeep.

「那現在要幹什麼。

我們不是應該在這裡等他們。

湯以為是要在紐約破壞他們的計劃，好讓那位大小姐氣的發瘋。

不用。

我們直接去艾力克斯曾經生活的地方就好。

安迪卻有不一樣的打算，他打算去的是亞桑州，也就是艾力克斯曾經長大的地方。」

我們去那裡幹嘛。

安迪，你是不是搞錯了。

這裡才是艾力克斯的致命傷。

湯當然不明白安迪的意思，他反而認為是安迪判斷錯誤。

不，那你就錯了。

那裡才是他最重要的致命傷。

紐約的事情不足以打擊到他。

安迪卻堅持要去艾力克斯曾經的故鄉，就因為那裡才是一切事情的源頭。」

隨便你怎麼說，反正我們快點走。

免得被他們搶先一步。

反正安迪的意見一直以來都沒有出過差錯，所以這次湯也選擇相信。

開車去如何。

反正至少需要好幾天的時間。

再說有點遠。

安迪已經在旁邊準備好車子，只不過是一臺已經有年代的吉普車。」

就在俊朋他們搭飛機的時間，安迪他們已經先一步前往下個地方。

「他們可能永遠也不會知道，這一切只是個陷阱，還是一個已經準備好的陷阱。

「先生，我們現在該去哪裡。」

當他們到達時，已經是隔天中午的11:20分，正好還能趕上吃飯的時間。

「先去吃飯。

就去Alex曾經工作的那間餐廳。」

俊朋認為先去那裡，也許會找到什麼有用的東西也說不定

名利跑馬燈〈找人〉358利

「不用，直接去那裡買。

反正我也不是去那裡玩的。」

俊朋說什麼也不願意改變心意，就因為娜麗肯定會一再阻止。

「那我們快走吧。

還要去訂機票。」

阿望知道改變不了，既然如此就只能跟在先生的身邊。

「 喂，娜麗。

我已經在機場了。

我打算去美國一趟。」

俊朋還真的到了機場才打電話，而現在的他已經在等著登機。

「什麼，這件事你怎麼能不和我討論。

為什麼突然就這樣子決定。」

娜麗氣到直接從沙發上起來，她恨不得現在就到機場去抓他回來。

「 先生，我們該登機了。」

阿望的手上已經拿好兩張機票了，就等著先生一起登機。

「好，我知道了。

就這樣子。

娜麗，我回來再和你說。」

俊朋想也不想的就掛掉電話，畢竟再繼續講下去也只是浪費時間。

「 先生，我們該走了。」

登機的廣播聲已經隨之響起，他們買的還是最快的一班。

「嗯。」

這趟去美國不單單只是查證而已，甚至還必須找到與Alex相關的人。

「They have already set off.

Master, what shall we do now. 」

Just as Junpeng and the others boarded the plane, there was a man staring at them in the distance, still holding a phone mysteriously.

「Leave the rest to me.

You just stay there. 」

There is also a man in the United States who is quietly waiting for their arrival.

It seemed that even if they had been allowed to come, the smile on his face was especially permeating.

「How is the matter handled.

Did you go in the direction you predicted? 」

Another man walked up to him and asked how things were going.

「Of course it is very good.

Tang, how can you question my ability to do things. 」

At this time, Andy and the others are just boys, and their faces are obviously immature.

名利跑馬燈〈前往美國〉357利

「 娜麗，你先回去。

我還有事情要處理。」

俊朋雖然已經走出店門外，但卻沒有想要往停車場的意思。

「那好。

我們回去再討論。」

娜麗倒也沒有捨不得的意思，也許俊朋他真的是有重要的事情需要處理。

「你說的是真的。

他的資料是誰給的，有看到人嗎？」

俊朋在咖啡廳內見了一個人，不過看起來好像很激動的模樣。

「沒有，先生。

但是他的資料看起來不像是假的。

就是這個，您看看。」

神秘人馬上拿出資料袋，裡面都是與Alex有關的內容。

「 這不是你來決定的。

先等我看完再說。」

俊朋還真的就翻開了資料，裡面寫的都是Alex在紐約的經歷，還有他長大的家鄉。

「這個資料也許是打敗Alex的關鍵。

先生，你看上面還有寫他贏的料理比賽是作弊來的。」

神秘男人倒是很相信這份資料的內容，畢竟都已經寫的這麼詳細。

「這是真的。

確定沒有造假。」

俊朋還想要再三確認，再說這個事情可不能隨便亂說的。

「這我就不確定了。

只是有人把資料寄到我這裡。」

神秘男人只不過是負責送資料，至於是誰給的，他還真的沒有看到。

「好，我現在馬上出發去美國。

阿望，你跟我過去機場。」

俊朋想也不想，直接就把資料收進去，準備去美國一趟。

「咦，先生您不打算先和大小姐商量嗎？」

阿望第一反應就是大小姐肯定會生氣，而且還是非常生氣。

「我等不及了。

反正到了美國再打電話好了。」

俊朋覺得查證事實似乎比較重要，娜麗生氣只是其次而已。

「好，那行李要如何是好。

需要回去拿，還是。」

阿望希望先生再考慮一下，畢竟是臨時決定，肯定會引起大小姐的不滿。
