American Comics: BOSS Invasion
#805 - Remote town
At the entrance of a cafe, Qi Shan picked up Alicia in his car.
In the sunlight, the girl was wearing a snow-white down jacket. Although she was wrapped up tightly, one could still make out her graceful figure. Her long boots reached her knees, making her look like a snow elf.
The two met again, and the naturalness of the previous night seemed to have disappeared. The girl tried her best to appear generous, but one could still see a hint of shyness.
"Thank you for coming!" Alicia gave a sweet smile.
Qi Shan smiled and said, "You've already thanked me before! What happened? You know I'm a police officer, right? You can tell me anything!"
Alicia waved her hand: "It's not about that, it's about my parents!
My father is Chinese, so he's a bit concerned about his children's marriage and love life. Since last year, he's been asking me to bring a boyfriend home for Christmas.
This year, he issued an ultimatum. I've been trying hard, but I haven't found a suitable candidate.
So I decided not to go home this Christmas, but this morning I received a call from my parents..."
Alicia said, looking at Qi Shan with some embarrassment.
Qi Shan nodded: "I understand a little. You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend? To help you alleviate the pressure of being urged to marry?"
"That's what I mean!" Alicia showed a wry smile.
Qi Shan was a little surprised: "I always thought that urging marriage was a patent of Chinese parents. Western parents are much more open-minded, and 90% of them don't care about their children's affairs."
"Your data is not accurate. Actually, we are about the same!" Alicia shook her head, with a hint of helplessness on her face.
It seemed that she had been urged to marry quite a bit in the past.
Qi Shan thought for a while: "I don't have anything to do, so I can go back with you. Where is it?"
"That's great! Actually, my home is not too far from New York. Just get on Route 66 and drive about 50 kilometers, then follow the fork in the road for another ten kilometers or so, and you'll find a small village.
That area was originally a farm bought by my grandfather, but unfortunately, it was later discovered that the geology didn't seem to be suitable for grazing, so they moved to Montana.
The remaining land, after decades of construction and population flow, has become a somewhat remote small town, but don't worry, the people in the town are very nice, everyone loves each other, and we have a customized agreement for the delivery of daily necessities, so we don't lack anything!"
Qi Shan waved his hand: "I'm not worried about these things. I'm happy to help you!"
Although he said that, after a brief contact, Qi Shan gradually became suspicious.
Undeniably, Alicia is very beautiful and fits his aesthetic standards.
But he always felt that there was something wrong with the conversation between the two.
Qi Shan knew his own affairs. After all, he had been in a high position for many years, and with a wave of his hand, he could decide the life and death of millions of people. He could even travel through different planes, as if he were an immortal jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements.
In addition, he had repelled so many plane invaders in the early days, so his combat power was beyond doubt.
It was a bit strange that such a strong person would be moved by a weak woman he had only met once, wasn't it?
Moreover, there was always a deliberate feeling in Alicia's words.
What exactly was wrong?
With doubts in his heart, Qi Shan remained calm on the surface.
He always played the role of a man caught in the whirlpool of love.
Alicia's home was not too far away, only about 100 kilometers in total. With the spaciousness of American roads, it took less than three hours to drive to this remote town.
It was indeed very remote, located deep in the Rocky Mountains.
Simply looking at the map, the vast Rocky Mountains were behind it, with uninhabited areas for about dozens of kilometers. On the other side, there was only a fork in the road, and it would take more than ten kilometers to reach Route 66.
It even had to pass through a small underground tunnel in the middle.
Qi Shan was a little confused. Who was so rich that they built an underground tunnel at the entrance of their village?
Didn't they know that this thing cost a lot?
The village was indeed built very beautifully, with careful landscaping, blooming flowers everywhere, small gardens, and quiet streets.
The houses here were all very large, and the designs were unique.
Each house had at least three floors, with a floor area of about several hundred square meters, and the perimeter either had a swimming pool or a spacious garden.
Qi Shan felt like he was in a paradise like in a movie.
Moreover, according to common sense, such a remote and somewhat closed small village should be controlled by white people and very exclusive to outsiders.
But here, there were all kinds of races, all kinds of colors and appearances, and everyone got along very happily, like the United Nations.
You could see them greeting each other when you walked down the street.
They were as enthusiastic as if they were performing in an opera!
"This is my home!"
Under Alicia's guidance, Qi Shan slowly parked the car on the open space in front of a three-story villa.
As soon as Alicia got out of the car, a large group of people rushed out.
The leader was a middle-aged Asian man who looked a bit like Li Dazui from "The Legendary Twins," with a very exaggeratedly large mouth, but he was wearing a woolen sweater and gold-rimmed glasses, adding a bit of artistic flair.
Beside him was a beautiful middle-aged white woman, who still had her charm despite being over middle age.
However, she looked very different from Alicia, and there was not even a trace of similarity between her eyebrows.
Alicia enthusiastically introduced Qi Shan. In addition to her parents and four elders, there were also three servants, two men and one woman. The men were slightly older, around 50 years old, and the woman was younger, at most under 30.
Their skin was dark and reddish, feeling like a mixed race of African and Indian descent.
After introducing the names, Qi Shan only remembered the old man lying in the wheelchair, not because of his unique shape, but because his name was really surprising.
His name was Deng Lijun!
His father was even more localized, named Johnson, and his mother was named Laura.
Qi Shan was warmly welcomed into the living room. The servants served tea and water, and Laura kept asking about the relationship between the two, nodding from time to time, and asking about Qi Shan's own situation.
When they heard that he didn't have any relatives, a hint of joy flashed in several people's eyes at the same time, as if they were particularly satisfied.
