Chapter 266 Peace Talks?

"Nick, why are you in such unpleasant circumstances every time I see you?"

Sitting in the garden of his home in Chicago, the servants are taking advantage of the nice weather to prepare a barbecue on the lawn, and Adelaide is preparing freshly squeezed juice for him.

It is said that this is a secret formula she learned from a certain duchess, and the taste is very unique.

"Charlie, I have good news for you!" Seeing his performance this time, Nick felt gratified for his growth.

No one wants their friend to be a butcher who will draw a gun at the slightest disagreement.

"Good news? Finding the murderer is the best news for me." Li Zitao is suffering from the pain of killing a tiger instead of killing him!

"Before coming, Roosevelt came to see me. I want to invite you to sit down and talk with Joseph." After Nick finished speaking, he took the cup and walked towards the oven.

"Peace talks?" Li Zitao sat there thinking.

"Honey, your secret juice." Adelaide came with the juice and interrupted his train of thought.

"Thank you." After taking a sip of the juice, Li Zitao looked up at her and asked, "Joseph wants to talk to me, what do you think?"

"Why not?" Adelaide sat down, looked at him and said, "You can't go on like this forever, no matter whether he did it or not, this matter should end here."

"Let's forget it?" Li Zitao was a little unwilling, but he had no evidence, and it was even more impossible for him to send someone to Kendy Manor, set up a heavy machine gun and sweep the whole manor to the ground.

If it were in Africa, he would be happy to do it.

"Do you want to continue?" Adelaide asked while looking at him.

"..." Who wants to be missed by the gunman every day, there is something wrong with his head!

"Okay, I'll talk to him, it's in New York." Li Zitao said in a relaxed tone, and then saw the white juice in the glass in his hand.

"It tastes good, did you add yogurt?" There was a sour feeling in his mouth, which made him feel his appetite increased.

"No, that's—" Adelaide said mysteriously close to his ear.

"Pfft, people—well, where did you come from?" Li Zitao, who was drinking juice, sprayed it out on the spot, which was a bit too much information.

"A very well-retired lady who has a family situation and needs to earn some allowance, and she has only one child."

Very good, very powerful, Li Zitao's three views have been refreshed again.

"Hey, Charlie, Sasha, come and taste it, it tastes great." Seeing the two talking and laughing, Nick standing by the oven waved his arms and said.

...

West Africa, somewhere.

"Why do you want to return to the United States, what are you going to do, why don't you take me with you?" Lilith asked suspiciously.

"Just dealing with minor annoyances, it's not for a lady to know, you should go on vacation with your beau, India is nice."

Two months is enough for Hogan to become a qualified captain, and now his word is an order.

"Pay attention to safety, and remember your mission." Wang Dagou patted the car door and retreated; "Let's go."

"Let's go." Hearing Hogan's order, the car drove forward quickly. They will board the speedboat in the sea ahead, and then take the "fly boat" to return to the mainland.

"I think Hogan's suggestion is good. You can consider going to India for vacation, and I will approve it." Seeing the car disappearing from sight, Wang Dagou patted the monk on the shoulder, laughed and walked towards the forest behind him.

"Monk, do you know what they are going to do?" Lilith felt more and more uneasy.

As a member of the ghost team, she was excluded from this mission, and the mission location was the native United States.

"I don't know, I just know, that's not what I should care about." The monk stepped forward and put his arms around her shoulders, and said in a relaxed tone: "What do you think of Hogan and the instructor's suggestion? Are you familiar with India?"

...

...

At night, after an in-depth "academic" exchange with his fiancée,

Li Zitao came to the study alone, picked up the phone and dialed a certain number.

"Mike, I need the inhibin you mentioned, let Wang Kui personally—" About 10 minutes later, Li Zitao hung up the phone and sat on the chair without moving.

Before you know it, it's dawn.

Click!

The door of the study was opened, and the cleaning maid was about to walk in with a bucket when she saw Li Zitao sitting on a chair in a daze.

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. Manager Hogg didn't tell me." The maid who saw this scene panicked.

She didn't know if she bumped into her master, if she would lose her job, and she still had children and a family to support.

"Don't worry, no one knows I'm here—what's the matter with the injury on your face?" Li Zitao, who was awakened, smiled, and suddenly saw the bruise at the corner of her eye.

"I accidentally ran into it." The maid shrank back and said while bending over.

"I remember your name, Francis, right?" Li Zitao moved his buttocks to make himself sit more comfortably, "Come in and sit, maybe you can talk to me."

Somewhat cautiously, she placed the bucket in the double-layered wooden frame at the door, and the maid came to the table with half of her butt touching the chair, as if she was about to jump up at any time.

"Is it an outsider, or your husband?" Seeing the obvious bruises from the beating, Li Zitao asked with certainty.

"Wow, this is so bad—" Francis covered her face and sobbed softly, talking about what happened to her.

In this era, chauvinism is prevalent in Europe and the United States. Spain, country F, Austria, Canada, and dozens of other countries have a contradiction in their families.

Domestic violence!

"You don't even dare to beat your own wife and children, what kind of man are you?" Such a weird theory is actually a mainstream thought in this era.

Hitting women, beating children, disagreeing with each other, even throwing children out of the window on the second floor, even if it breaks their hands and feet.

The number of female deaths due to domestic violence is increasing at a rate of 5% every year.

The United States is a diverse and multi-ethnic immigrant country filled with immigrants from all over the world.

Therefore, domestic violence is an unavoidable problem.

Now is not the era when the feminist movement of later generations was successful. Domestic violence is the most common 'family dispute' at this time. '

The police won't get involved, not even at the door, unless there's a fatality.

And women are also intimidated by this deformed social form and their husbands, so they can only choose to bear it silently.

They can only try to cater to their husbands' preferences, change their own good and evil, preferences and values, and become what their husbands expect, so as to avoid more severe beatings.

Now, sitting in front of him is such a poor woman, while silently bearing the beatings of her husband, she still has to earn money to support her family and children.
