My absurd experiences in North America over the years

The mornings in the affluent neighborhood are exceptionally quiet.

The tall palm trees and neatly trimmed hedges blocked out the sunlight, and there were very few cars on the street, only the melodious chirping of birds.

The sound of a car engine can only be heard occasionally.

Winslop sat in the back seat of a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class parked in the hotel's underground garage.

His fingers tapped lightly on his knees, without rhythm, just a habitual little movement.

His expression was calm, even a little lazy. He leaned back in the leather seat, his tie hanging loosely, and the top two buttons of his shirt collar undone.

But if you look closely at his eyes, you'll find they're very clear-headed, not like someone who's been at a party until 3 a.m.

He doesn't seem like a spoiled rich kid at all.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the front seat of the Mercedes.

He was wearing a baseball cap pulled low, his hair was shaved very short, and he was dressed in dark blue casual clothes without a tie and nothing on his wrist.

This may be to reduce the number of features that make someone easily identifiable.

The middle-aged man took out a cell phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and seemed to have received a message.

"How's it going?"

He suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if it had been smoked.

Chad paused in his tapping, "It's progressing steadily."

"Proceed steadily?"

"Well, at least she's willing to come to the party. If she comes a few more times, I'll definitely have a chance," Winslop shifted his sitting position. "The tricky thing now is that she always comes with a boyfriend who's more like a bodyguard."

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged.

He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, but didn't light it; he just twirled it between his fingers. "Like a bodyguard's boyfriend... why does that sound so incongruous?"

"He claims to be your boyfriend, but it's probably just a cover," Winslop said with a slight smirk. "I've looked into him; he doesn't have much of a background, and he seems to be an undocumented immigrant. He posted a few videos on YouTube a few days ago, and they got pretty good views."

"Why not just bribe him or kill him?" The middle-aged man had little interest in Li Fu's background.

If this person is after money, then it's easy to handle.

If someone is difficult to bribe, no one in Los Angeles will care if an undocumented person disappears.

"It might be difficult to get rid of him," Winslop thought, deciding it would be better to bribe him with money or a green card.

Aren't these the two things that illegal immigrants lack?

The middle-aged man put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff. "What's so hard about getting rid of it?"

In his eyes, he was just a bodyguard.

Countless bodies have been thrown into the Los Angeles River.

"He might be a real martial artist. A while ago, he took on multiple opponents in an alley and killed them all with a dagger," Winslop knew this since he had investigated Li Fu.

"Then spend more money and get this done as soon as possible, lest things get complicated," the middle-aged man still didn't take Li Fu seriously.

What are martial artists? No matter how skilled they are, can they outrun a bullet?

"I'll get on it as soon as possible," Winslop thought to himself.

No illegal immigrant can resist the temptation of money and a green card.

He believed that with just a little manipulation, Li Fu would not only not become an obstacle, but could even become an inside agent.

"Hurry up," the middle-aged man's tone became serious. "I don't care what method you use, get her done as soon as possible, and then record the video."

This will be a significant bargaining chip.

It could be used for political deals or as a means of coercion in the future.

Even offensive weapons.

Upon hearing this, Winslop tightened his grip on his knees. "I'll definitely get it done within a month."

"Too slow, half a month!" The middle-aged man turned to look at Winslop, his eyes like emotionless glass beads. "You need to understand, this isn't about picking up girls, it's a legitimate business deal."

Lucy's father is a conservative flag bearer from Tennessee, a typical conservative older white man who calls daily in Congress for the protection of cultural conservatism and the white historical narrative.

If someone films his daughter engaging in promiscuous sex or taking drugs at a party.

This will be a significant blow.

Winslop undoubtedly knew about Lucy's family background, and the reason he was still willing to do this was simply to offer a pledge of allegiance.

A pledge of allegiance to the White Party.

Almost all the celebrities and elites in Los Angeles knew the name of that party.

Many people even consider it an honor to be invited.

The host of this party is the famous Sean Combs.

Of course, most people are more used to his nickname.

Bragging Daddy.

The white party will be completely infamous in a decade or so.

However, at the beginning of 2006, it was rumored to be incredibly amazing and extremely attractive.

Everyone in the industry knows that it represents a certain social circle to some extent.

The White Party was not just the orgies that later generations knew.

The various circles surrounding the White Party encompass more than just the cultural and entertainment industries.

This may also include political and business figures.

Winslop was desperate to get in.

The middle-aged man he was talking to was a broker in the political and entertainment industries.

He moved between the legitimate and criminal worlds, responsible for relaying messages and facilitating certain shady dealings.

His current goal is to "win over" Lucy.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely deliver it to you within half a month," Winslop said respectfully.

Lucy, who lives several kilometers away, is completely unaware of this.

She went to school early in the morning and asked Li Fu to pick her up at 5 pm.

Li Fu did not rush back after leaving the school.

He was far more vigilant than Lucy, and he secretly observed Winslop whether in nightclubs or parties.

He keenly sensed that this guy might not be just after Lucy's beauty.

So-called gentlemanly behavior is nothing more than a wolf with more patience.

He decided to investigate Winslop.

Although he had wasted some time in a foreign land, he still possessed the instincts of a top-notch reconnaissance soldier.

Based on the information Lucy provided and through on-site investigations, he quickly identified Winthrop as a wealthy young man from a prestigious family.

The only son of Los Angeles tycoon Winslop II, whose uncle is a rising star in California politics and a San Francisco senator.

This readily available information is easy to find.

Li Fu didn't actually want this information; he used hacking techniques to infiltrate the police station's information network.

Having come from a major internet company in the 2020s, he knew that the network firewall in 2006 was full of vulnerabilities, and he could fix it without much effort.

The reason for checking the police station's information is quite simple.

If Winslop is indeed a deeply hidden playboy and evil person, he has most likely committed crimes before.

Even if it ultimately comes to nothing, there should still be a record.

As Li Fu had predicted, the facts were indeed as he had expected.

He quickly discovered that Winslop himself had abused more than one maid in his family years ago, taking advantage of his family background.

But it was quickly suppressed.

There were also two or three cases of fights resulting in injuries or disabilities.

Following this trail, Li Fu continued his investigation and soon discovered that some of the journalists who had reported on the incident had been bribed to retract their reports, while others had simply been dismissed from their newspapers.

In the past two years, he has toned down his personality a lot, but it's not because he's had a change of heart, but because he's become better at hiding his evil.

In other words, they are more patient.

"What does he want from Lucy? Just to pick her up? It doesn't seem so. The way he sometimes looks at Lucy isn't love or predation; it's more complicated than that."

Li Fu fell into deep thought.

He has no idea that he has been caught up in a "political conspiracy".
