My absurd experiences in North America over the years

The night in Los Angeles is like a thick, impenetrable fog, concealing all the city's filth and dirt.

Li Fu stood in the shadows across the main street in the city center and adjusted his collar.

Tonight, he was no longer that sunny and robust young man, but a middle-aged artist wearing a dark gray trench coat and gold-rimmed glasses, looking somewhat decadent.

This was an identity he adopted, specifically for times when it was inconvenient to reveal his true identity.

For the past three days, he had been secretly watching Winslop's every move.

This patient scoundrel maintained a calm facade, attending school events and business parties as usual, behaving like an impeccable gentleman.

But Li Fu knew that even the best disguiser would eventually slip up.

Tonight, he may witness it with his own eyes.

A black Maybach slowly pulled up in front of a bar called "Blue Cellar".

This is a private club located underground. There is no sign, only a heavy iron door with two doormen in suits standing at the entrance.

This is one of the gathering places for Los Angeles political and entertainment celebrities to go out and relax.

The security facilities are extremely high, and the confidentiality is among the best.

Besides the wealthy and influential regulars, this bar is frequented by brokers from the political and entertainment industries.

They exchange information here, or perhaps they're plotting something. Beneath the glitz and glamour of the bar, there's a power struggle and unspeakable secrets at play.

Of course, Li Fu is unaware of these things yet.

He was just following Winslop.

Winslop got out of the car, straightened his expensive suit, and strode inside with that fake yet confident smile on his face.

Two minutes later, Li Fu slowly emerged from the shadows.

He definitely couldn't force his way in. After observing the area, he chose to go around to the unloading area in the back alley of the bar, where there was a side door responsible for transporting drinks, and the security was relatively lax.

Using the experience left by the original owner and his superb disguise skills, he changed his appearance again and eventually blended in with the waiters who came to change shifts for several nights, swaggering into the bar.

Then, I changed clothes again in the toilet.

The bar was dimly lit, and jazz music played lazily.

The air was filled with the smell of expensive cigars and perfumes.

Li Fu, wearing sunglasses, observed from the shadows.

He quickly found Winslop in a semi-enclosed booth in the corner.

The guy was talking quietly with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a baseball cap with his back to Li Fu. He was dressed in a well-tailored dark black handmade suit, and had a tall and straight figure. He must have been trained in martial arts, or at least worked out regularly.

Judging from Winslop's almost fawning attitude, the middle-aged man's status is definitely not low.

Li Fu took a deep breath, his heartbeat returning to normal.

He pretended to be looking for someone.

As he passed Winthrop, his leather shoes seemed to accidentally tap the edge of the carpet, causing him to stumble and nearly bump into him.

"Excuse me, sir."

Li Fu apologized softly in slightly accented English, leaning his body towards Winslop.

Winslop frowned, instinctively wanting to push away the impetuous stranger.

The mysterious man with his back to Li Fu merely turned his head slightly without reacting much, as if this little incident wasn't worth his attention.

In their extremely brief close contact, Li Fu's fingers darted out like a serpent, precisely attaching a miniature listening device disguised as a black button to the outside pocket of Winslop's suit jacket.

The movements were so fluid that no one noticed.

"Be careful next time," Winslop waved his hand impatiently.

Li Fu nodded and bowed obsequiously before quickly leaving.

He pulled a receiver, no bigger than a matchbox, from his pocket, put on the headphones, and turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

After a buzzing sound, Winslop's voice clearly reached Li Fu's ears.

"Don't worry, she trusts me completely now," Winthrop said with a hint of smugness. "As for her boyfriend, he's already taken the money and left."

"That's good, but are you sure that girl will fall into the trap?" The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and deep, with a metallic quality.

Li Fu couldn't tell the other person's age, but his tone revealed the coldness of someone in a superior position.

"She's heartbroken and in a bad mood. With a little manipulation, she'll definitely go," Winslop was quite confident about this.

If all else fails, Emily can act as an intermediary.

That naive girl would never have noticed anything amiss, and Lucy happened to trust her more.

As Li Fu listened to their conversation, his eyes instantly turned cold, and his fingers unconsciously tightened around the receiver.

"What do you plan to do then?" the mysterious man asked.

"I'll arrange a chance encounter for her. I'll arrange the drinks at that bar beforehand, give her a special deep-sea bomb, and when she's in a daze, I'll have a handsome driver take her home..."

Winslop chuckled slightly as he said this, "It's quite normal for a drunk teenage girl to have something happen with a handsome young man her age, right? It's common among young people to want to take pictures as a memento. Lost computers and leaked videos don't seem to be unusual for celebrities..."

The mysterious man swirled his wine glass and nodded slowly. "Remember to be clean and don't leave any evidence. As long as this doesn't go wrong, the invitation to the White Party will naturally be delivered to you after it's done."

"Understood, understood," Winslop nodded and bowed.

Li Fu stood in the shadows, feeling as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards.

These people are not only psychologically dark, but their methods are also despicable.

But Winslop is definitely a bastard, he deserves to die!

But that mysterious middle-aged man was clearly the mastermind behind it all.

He really wanted to kill him right now.

and many more……

Li Fu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He thought he heard about a white party.

White parties are Sean Combs' trump card.

Could that mysterious middle-aged man have some connection with Sean Combs?

Sean Combs is the same person who later became known globally on the internet as Daddy Didi.

This scumbag was already famous throughout the United States and even the entire West in 2006, and was a major driving force behind hip-hop pop music.

Their identities include rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor, businessman, and fashion designer, among others.

A true billionaire.

The White Party was an annual event he organized from 1998 to 2009. It was originally named "equality" and "charity" and invited fashion stars and others to participate.

Past guest lists include music superstars Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Mariah Carey, as well as film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Other notable figures include the Hilton sisters, members of the Kardashian family, and others.

There are countless business tycoons.

Later came the globally renowned basketball superstar, LeBron James.

Of course, he wasn't a superstar during this period.

As for political figures... to give a simple example, when wildfires ravaged the city of Los Angeles, leaving countless residents homeless and even causing their deaths, many of California's bigwigs were attending Hollywood galas.

Whether it exists or not has never been the issue.

The real question is who has participated.

Li Fu had learned about the White Party in his previous life; when Didi's scandal broke in 2024, it even became a global sensation.

The hallmark of the White Party is the strict all-white dress code, which Diddy explained was to "strip everyone of their image and put us all in the same color, on the same level."

The public events are often described as a social feast for celebrities, and the wealthy and famous consider it an honor to attend the party.

The second half was extremely chaotic, with drugs and sexual activity rampant.

A long time ago, Didi was even photographed telling guests, "It's time to send the kids home," the subtext of which was self-evident.

Participants include victims who are coerced or lured into participating in crazy and extreme party behavior in exchange for record contracts, entry into a certain circle, or certain benefits.

Li Fu remembered clearly that the famous movie star Gal Gadot once revealed that she had attended Didi's party, which led to her getting the role of Wonder Woman.

He really didn't expect Lucy to get involved in this kind of incident.

Winslop sacrifices Lucy as a pledge of allegiance to the mysterious middle-aged man in exchange for a ticket to the White Party.

Only now did he realize that he might not be dealing with a spoiled rich kid.

Instead, it's a giant, indistinct net.

Li Fu carefully left the bar and then disappeared silently into the night.

……

Lucy was still awake in the early hours of the morning.

She heard the knocking and immediately ran out of the bedroom.

For some reason, she was worried about Li Fu, worried that something might really have happened to him.

Although she was well protected by her father and brothers, coming from such a family, she naturally knew some inside stories that outsiders could not know.

She was well aware of the darkness of politics, the cunning of human nature, and the tragic fate of those who were eliminated.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Li Fu dropped his pretense, sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh. His heart was churning, but his appearance was calm.

"I've been waiting for you!" Lucy nestled against him, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"I told you to go to bed early, and not to go to class tomorrow?" Li Fu ruffled her long hair, his tone unusually gentle.

"Isn't it because I was worried about you?" Lucy rubbed her cheek against his chest.

A thought suddenly occurred to her.

Why bother with Winslop's schemes? As long as she attends classes normally and goes back to her apartment after school, nothing will happen.

He couldn't possibly kidnap her openly, could he?

Why put Li Fu in such danger?

"I told you before, I'm a professional. What's there to worry about with such a small matter?" Li Fu said, feigning nonchalance.

But in reality, he was always thinking about the white party.

Who exactly is that mysterious middle-aged man?

"How about we call it quits?" Lucy suddenly looked up, a hint of worry in her eyes.

She didn't know why she felt uneasy tonight.

She was very afraid that something might happen to Li Fuzhen.

"What do you mean, let it go?" Li Fu replied subconsciously.

"I mean, whatever Winslop wants to do, as long as I don't accept his invitation, he won't have a chance!" Lucy said.

North American universities have armed police officers (with full law enforcement powers, including armed arrests) and public safety departments (patrolling, monitoring, and providing security services), making their security measures quite high.

Universities receive hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies, and tuition fees are exorbitantly high, meaning that universities have no shortage of money to hire the best police and security teams.

An accident would be a serious blow to the school.

Take UCLA as an example. Most of its students are either from wealthy or influential families, or at the very least, from the middle class.

As for children from impoverished families...

Unfortunately, the high tuition fees of tens of thousands of dollars per year, along with the equally substantial living expenses, are beyond their means, so they usually choose not to attend university.

Even middle-class families have to rely on student loans to make ends meet, and then have to pay them back for twenty or thirty years after graduation.

If a major safety incident occurs at a school, it will suffer a loss of credibility, a sharp decrease in financial subsidies and donations from all sectors of society (donations can secure a recommendation for admission to a good university), and may also face accountability measures.

Therefore, in theory, Lucy is safe at school.

The apartment she now lives in is in an affluent area with excellent police and security.

Winslop dared not act recklessly in public.

He couldn't do anything reckless; Lucy only has value if she's "willing."

Otherwise, all you'll face is retaliation.

Li Fu could naturally think of this as well, and he understood Lucy's thoughts.

However, if you're a thief every day, how can you guard against thieves every day?

Winslop is a ticking time bomb; I can't sleep or eat in peace until I take him down.

"Well, that's a good idea, it's safer," Li Fu agreed on the surface.

Lucy beamed with joy when he agreed.

She looked up and gently kissed Li Fu.

"It's late at night, time to go to sleep," Li Fu got up, picked up Lucy, and walked towards the bedroom.

The living room lights then went out.

The bedside lamp in the bedroom was also turned off.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone could clearly hear each other's breathing.

However, Li Fu had something on his mind; he was thinking about how to get rid of Winslop without anyone noticing.

Or it could include that mysterious middle-aged man.

He just wanted to live a carefree life, so why did these people have to bother him?

"Feed..." Lucy's voice broke the silence.

"Hmm?" Li Fu looked down at the girl in his arms. Although it was pitch black, he couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Didn't you say that sleeping is a verb in Chinese?" Lucy said irritably.

She was just full of anticipation.

"It can also be a noun!" Li Fu chuckled.

He once said that, but at the time it was just...flirting.

"It can't be a noun," Lucy scoffed.

She figured it out; he was saying whatever was in his own best interest.

She didn't want to discuss academic issues.

"How about using it as a verb for another day?" Li Fu couldn't help but chuckle, while at the same time starting to grope her.

Let's put the murder aside for now.

Spring nights are fleeting, so we should enjoy them while we can!

"Don't... move around..." Lucy immediately started humming.
