Chapter 135 Good Father, Old Memories

"Should I say that it is indeed the largest espionage organization, it has pushed Umbrella to this level so quickly!" Zhou Yi held up a sign and raised the price of the goods being auctioned. Said casually.

And Coulson just smiled implicitly. "They have too many problems of their own, expose them a little bit, and put some pressure on the European side. It will soon put some investors off. These problems pile up, and problems in the capital chain are almost certain."

"With our ability, isn't it easy to make him feel uncomfortable for a while?"

How much influence S.H.I.E.L.D. has in this world can be seen from this matter. A large multinational corporation is in trouble almost without knowing it. This method is enough to make anyone face him.

Maybe he can't match those destructive guys in real power, but his potential energy is enough to image more things. This is a swarm society where they are far more powerful than any superpower.

"Contact me directly when you're ready. I should be very free recently." He directly raised the price to two million dollars, and Zhou Yi took Aretha and prepared to leave. He has already given almost five million dollars here this time, which is more than enough for charity.

Coulson blinked quietly, but did not say goodbye to Zhou Yi. He is still playing a strange guest, and if he negotiates too much with Zhou Yi, it will only attract the attention of some caring people. That's not a good thing for their cooperation.

After saying goodbye to Director Stacy, Zhou Yi drove away with Aretha.

On the way, he glanced at Aretha, who was a little listless, and slowed down slightly. At the same time, he lowered his head and asked.

"Sorry, dear. For taking you to such a boring place."

"It's okay, Dad." Aretha raised her head, a reluctant smile appeared on her cute little face. "I just feel a little tired."

Aretha, who has been frozen for several years, has long had blurred memories of her childhood, and it is precisely because of this that she can accept Zhou Yi as a father so quickly. For her, Zhou Yi is actually just a role to fill the vacancy in her heart.

Gently rubbing the long black hair of this poor girl, Zhou Yi felt a little guilty. He was only thinking about the plan, ignoring the child's psychology. Everything this evening is obviously not suitable for her, especially if they are not real father and daughter.

"Sorry, dear. I promise not to be like this in the future." He began to solemnly promise that if he was not a qualified father before, he will develop in the direction of a good father now and in the future. Now that you have chosen to take on this responsibility, you must take this responsibility to the end no matter what.

It is not easy to be a qualified father, let alone a good father.

Seeing the forced smile on Aretha's face, Zhou Yi thought for a while before asking.

"Honey, if I send you to school, do you think it will be better than having a teacher at home?"

"School?" Aretha, who was forced to suffer a tragic fate before school age, has a natural yearning for this term, perhaps this is what she yearns most before everything happens. "Really, Dad!"

"Of course, but you may have to wait a few days. You know that there is a lot of schoolwork between children of Nick's age. Maybe you should ask Serana to give you a good tutorial."

"No problem!" Aretha, who became full of energy in an instant, replied immediately. "I'll go back to Serana and ask her for help!"

"Oh, really? Aren't you afraid that Serana will bite you?" Seeing the girl's reaction, Zhou Yi joked with Aretha's embarrassment at the right time.

Ever since she watched a movie about vampires, Aretha was completely afraid of Serana, and even asked to turn on the lights when she went to bed at night to prevent Serana from sneaking in in the dark to suck her. Blood.

"I'm not afraid of her, and she won't really bite me?" Aretha retorted with a small mouth, but she quickly asked again hesitantly. "Will she bite me?"

"I don't know about that." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Yi began to scare things. "Maybe you should ask Serana yourself if there's a young girl in her recipe."

Aretha's face immediately showed a look of fear. Being alone at night with Serana can be a huge psychological challenge for her. What to do in the end, the girl who can't tell the joke and the truth is caught in her own little tangle.

Looking at the adopted daughter's appearance, Zhou Yi immediately had an inexplicable smile in his heart. At this time, he suddenly regained the feeling of molesting Sharis when he was a child. Both of them had a frightening night in a ghost story that he made up.

The car went smoothly all the way, and soon came to the neighborhood of Queens. Looking at the familiar streets around him, Zhou Yi suddenly remembered when he first came to New York.

At that time, he got the first cheerleader he met in New York in a cold drink shop on this street. Of course, they also broke up soon after.

Turning around casually, he quickly found the sign that looked a little old. This surprised him a bit. It was a bit unexpected for a cold drink shop next to the most chaotic speakeasy to open for so long. However, it may also have something to do with the craftsmanship of the owner of the cold drink shop.

At that time, many girls liked to stay here all day, just to collect the owner's unique snacks and ice cream.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhou Yi asked the girl who was still struggling.

"Honey, would you like some more ice cream and dessert? Vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate?"

After hearing the ice cream and dessert, Aretha immediately put down the small tangle in her heart. For this kind of thing, she has no resistance at all.

"Strawberry flavored, I want sweet jam and pretty strawberries!"

"I'm happy to serve you, my dear little princess." After opening the car door, Zhou Yi did not forget to tell the girl. "Stay in the car. Don't just walk around, and don't pay attention to strangers."

He didn't leave with confidence until he saw Aretha nodded obediently. As a new father who joined the ranks, he always had some doubts about his existence. This is a common problem in parenting.

Although the cold drink shop is not open 24 hours a day, it is usually open until late because of the bar next to it. And now, it's far from closing time.

Just like more than ten years ago, the boss is still the same person. Although he looks a lot older, he is still in good spirits and full of enthusiasm for every customer.

He didn't care about Zhou Yisheng's expensive suits that were out of tune with this kind of small shop, as always, he said in an enthusiastic tone with a strong French accent.

"Welcome, distinguished guest. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Of course, please give me a special strawberry ice cream and the best strawberry cake. Also, please give me another hot cocoa." Although more than ten years have passed, Zhou Yi is still familiar with this place. For him, being here is also a part of his youth. Although this part seems absurd and ridiculous now. But as the capital of memory, it is always difficult to give up.

A large part of the reason why the owner can make this small shop survive more than ten years of ups and downs is that everything is handmade by him. This limited his size, but also allowed him to retain more customers. Especially when his skills are still very good.

While skillfully making exquisite desserts, he chatted with Zhou Yi.

"This gentleman looks familiar to me here, but please forgive me. My impression of you is really vague."

"I used to take girls here a lot when I was in high school, but I haven't been here for a long time. I remember it was just opening."

"Oh, that's been almost ten years. Listening to you say that, I really want to have some impressions. At that time, sir, you seemed to be frequenting the shop with a blond lady."

"Your memory is really good. Most people don't remember the customers in their store more than ten years ago." Listening to the boss's memories, Zhou Yi began to admire. And this also makes the boss very proud, which makes him find a young feeling.

"You must know that there were very few high school students at that time who could ride a Harley-Davidson with a beautiful girl. Is that your daughter? Are you married to that beautiful girl?"

"Aretha is my daughter, but the girl at the time probably didn't know me long ago."

"Oh, I see. This is youth, especially for men, there is always a good memory." The boss acted like I understood and put the packaged snacks and drinks in front of Zhou Yi.

"It's really nice to see a regular customer like you. I only charge you for snacks, drinks and ice cream are my invitations. I hope you don't mind. Although it's nothing to you!" Bentley, who was parked outside the door, pursed his lips. "But it's just a little thought for the little princess in the car."

Looking at Aretha, who was drooling over the car window, Zhou Yi laughed a little dumbly. He paid for the dim sum, but he didn't force a refusal on anything else. This is a piece of people's mind, and there is no need to calculate it so clearly.

"Thank you, boss. Good luck with your business!"

"I wish you a happy life, sir. I look forward to your next visit." The boss said goodbye to Zhou Yi with a smile and sent his own blessings. This is the way of life for this simple man, and it is because of this that he can be remembered by so many people.

Seeing Zhou Yi walking back with dessert, Aretha couldn't wait to roll down the car window. Whether it is a woman or a child, the resistance to this kind of thing is very small. As for the little girl, the resistance directly became a negative number.

Handing the cake to Aretha through the car window, Zhou Yi did not rush to drive. He looked at Aretha holding a spoon and munching, standing outside the car and lighting a cigarette.

Serana has been implementing a no-smoking campaign at home since she had a child, citing the impact on Aretha's development. For this reason, Zhou Yi couldn't refute anything, so he had to put the hobby of smoking outside.

Like now, it's a good opportunity to smoke to pass the time. However, a gunshot interrupted his rare leisure time.

On the street opposite him, an old man fell to the ground clutching his stomach, and two guys who looked flustered quickly ran towards the street. It seemed that they wanted to grab the car and escape, and Zhou Yi, the guy with the car door wide open, became their target.

As soon as a tall Mexican-American came up, he aimed the pistol in his hand at Zhou Yi, and shouted while beckoning his panicked companion.

"Get out of the way, you yellow-skinned monkey. Otherwise, watch out for your head to bloom."

"You are really unlucky enough." Zhou Yi put the hot cocoa in his hand on the roof of the car, and looked at the two guys with a playful eye while blowing smoke rings.

"What the hell are you talking about, are you courting death?" With the pistol in his hand, he walked up directly, as if he wanted to hit Zhou Yi with the muzzle more directly.

But as soon as he took two steps, he found that Zhou Yi had posted it all over. This sudden move made him subconsciously want to shoot, but he couldn't pull the trigger on his finger. Taking a closer look, I found that the guy opposite actually reached out and stuck the gap between the triggers with his thumb.

Without the space to move, shooting with a pistol becomes empty talk. The Mexican man wanted to grab the pistol with all his strength, but Zhou Yi had already slapped him on the jaw.

Although the strength is not large, it is enough to knock a normal person unconscious. As for whether he will have concussion or other symptoms, it has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

Watching Zhou Yi get his partner in an instant, even the gun was robbed. The other guy obviously lost his courage to go forward, especially after seeing that someone around him started to make calls, he didn't even look back and ran towards the alley between the streets.

He knew very well that the police would come soon. Only in such a small alley could he have a chance to escape.

Ignoring the thief who escaped, Zhou Yi turned around and said to Aretha, stay here and don't move, and ran to the other side of the street. He hadn't forgotten the old man who was shot. Compared with chasing a small hairy thief, it was more important to save people.

"Are you alright, how are you feeling?" The old man lay on the ground, black blood starting to seep from his shirt. It can be seen that the old man's condition is very serious. But Zhou Yi still pretended to be concerned and asked.

This is nonsense to him. Because under the effect of super vision, he has already seen the inside of the old man clearly.

To a certain extent, it has been regarded as hopeless. The bullet pierced the internal organs, causing considerable internal bleeding. Unless there is immediate access to cutting-edge medicine, there can be no hope. But looking at the old man's clothes, he knew that he could not enjoy this kind of treatment.

However, he can enjoy the treatment that the top rich man may not be able to enjoy, the gift from the gods.
