Chapter 662: Peach Blossom 4350 Words. Please Give Me a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month!!

SHIELD's efficiency is really amazing. It's clear that everyone in the Continental Hotel has disappeared, but the outside news media didn't report it at all. Not only that, the Continental Hotel, which was supposed to be empty, was actually open again!

When Kai passed by, he deliberately entered once and found that... all the people inside were replaced by SHIELD people...

These people are really good at playing. →

But Kai didn't say anything about this. Kai guessed that these people were planning to fish. If they could lure Hannibal out again, they would make a fortune. At worst, they could catch some killers who didn't know the truth, which was not a loss.

This way Kai could have less trouble.

Today Kai went to work as usual, but just as he sat down in the office, Misty kicked Kai's office door open with a 100-meter sprint.

"Director! Director! Director!" The black girl yelled with a red face as if she had seen a ghost: "Outside! Outside! Outside!"

Kai's first reaction was that someone came to attack the police station. Kai's first reaction was to pull out his gun.

"What happened?! Are terrorists here?"

Misty was shocked by her chief's reaction. Just as she was about to say something, a slightly hoarse but sexy voice came from behind her: "What's wrong?"

Kai heard this voice and immediately knew who was coming.

"Natalie?"

The person who came was Natalie who had just taken a car from the airport to the 15th Precinct. She was wearing sunglasses and a black coat on her arm. She was wearing a black and white business suit. The business suit, which was originally used to highlight her efficiency, became extremely charming on Natalie. After all, her figure was really great!

"I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane, and you greeted me with a gun like this?"

Looking at Natalie holding a suitcase in her other hand, Kai immediately put away the pistol, and then glared at Misty fiercely, blaming her for not explaining clearly.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! You came back today? Didn't you say it would take some time to come back?" Kai said as he took the coat and suitcase from Natalie. Then he said to Misty, "Go make some coffee... Being such a stupid secretary, you'll be fired sooner or later."

"Humph!" Misty arched her nose, not afraid of Kai at all, but she still walked out looking back every few steps, and forgot to close the door...

Kai shook his head. They were all secretaries, why was there such a big difference? The other person was still a fool!

Kai was quite curious about what Natalie was doing when she suddenly appeared. Kai completely forgot about the sudden change in his attitude towards SHIELD a few days ago. Well, it's not Kai's fault. He just felt it was troublesome, so he threw it to SHIELD. His attitude towards SHIELD has always been like that. This is a pretty bad organization, and Kai is sure that if the world encounters a crisis next time, it will definitely be the fault of this organization, no escape!

"I miss you!" Thanks to Natalie's good memory, she still remembered what Kai had just said. →

"Uh..." So aggressive right at the beginning? Kai was a little stunned.

"What? Are you unhappy?" Natalie immediately seized the opportunity and took the initiative. This is not a pure love novel. Natalie knows very well that a man like Kai, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, is actually very accommodating to women, who represent the weak. If Natalie continues to play ambiguity, this man may never take the initiative to take that step in this life. Instead, he will take the initiative and will not say anything embarrassing to embarrass the lady.

"No, no!" Kai didn't think Natalie would really fall in love with him... That's too much. Kai has never been a love expert from his previous life to now. The limited number of love experiences were not considered proactive. After all, his first girlfriend was a blind date arranged by his old company commander...

But Natalie was right about one thing. Kai would not say anything inappropriate to embarrass the woman. That was not in line with his education. Whether in his previous life or in the knight education he received in Camelot, he was not allowed to do that.

And, to be honest, Kai is also a man. Would he really be unhappy if a woman of Natalie's level confessed to him?

Of course not!

Kai is super happy now!

Men, every one of them is really serious!

Even though he knew that the other party was a spy of SHIELD, he was still secretly happy.

Seeing Kai was a little at a loss, Natalie also compared her heart. At the same time, she also knew that she couldn't force Kai. SHIELD had very detailed information about Kai and knew that this man had a girlfriend, so Natalie couldn't force Kai to make a choice now.

The reason is simple, how can Natalie guarantee that her beauty can really compete with the love between Kai and his girlfriend?

As an agent, you can't just believe in feelings, but if you don't believe it at all, it means that this agent is definitely a third-rate stuff.

Human beings have always been complicated. No one can accurately classify people. One kind of person has only one specific personality. This kind of thing only happens in novels.

So what Natalie has to do is to increase her weight in Kai's mind.

As for letting Kai kick his girlfriend and choose her?

What a joke!

She is not really here to fall in love!

"I'm hungry! You have to treat me to a meal!"

Natalie said a little arrogantly. For Natalie, she can halve any woman with any personality, so a little bit of arrogance is fine, and a tsundere loli is no problem!

“No problem!” Kai did not hesitate. It’s not a bad thing to have a beautiful woman accompany you.

When Keshi calmly took Natalie's hand and walked out of the 15th Precinct, the entire police station was boiling.

The director’s girlfriend is so beautiful! ! ! !

You know, a lot of male police officers almost couldn't help but whistle just now! It’s really awesome!

…

While Kemei was with him, Matt was also encountering the same situation. →

No.

It should be said that it is even more extreme than Kai, he has two!

This kind of thing is really not a good thing for Matt.

Because one of them is an ex-girlfriend, and the latter one... is almost his current girlfriend.

Fergie felt that he couldn't stay in the law firm anymore, the atmosphere was so terrible. But Fergie wanted to sneak out but couldn't. Because they are handling the largest case since the establishment of the law firm.

A joint action case.

The cause also starts with United Construction Company, the company that framed Karen Page. Because of this case, United Construction Company was investigated, but in the end this investigation was dropped. The reason is very simple. United Construction Company The chief accountant is dead!

He died at the most critical moment of the investigation. The cause of death was a heart attack.

Now the family of the deceased is suing the New York police and the prosecutor's office because they suspect that the deceased suffered a heart attack due to torture by the prosecutors and police.

The police and prosecutors are sickened to death.

Although a lot of evidence points to the chief accountant, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this person is just a white glove, and the black hand behind it has not yet appeared!

But now everyone is so pissed off, it’s useless to say anything, the clues are gone.

After several months of review, United Construction Company is back on track intact and is still proceeding with their real estate development projects in an orderly manner. Among them is an old apartment renovation plan in Clinton District. To put it bluntly, it is to demolish an apartment in Hell's Kitchen and convert it into a comprehensive commercial building. But the residents inside are unwilling to move.

And since the apartment is rent-controlled, United Buildings has no reason to evict them.

The so-called rent control refers to the rent control law and the rent stabilization law. The U.S. government's rent control policy has been in place since the 1940s. It was originally intended to control wartime inflation. Afterwards, it has changed several times, sometimes tightening and sometimes loosening, and the control methods have changed. There are also various names and names, but the housing rental market is booming amid the changes of management and control. In 1969, in order to cope with the housing crisis at the time, New York passed the "Rent Stabilization Act" to bring more houses into the control area so that low-income people would not become homeless. These laws essentially placed a large number of apartments built between February 1, 1947, and January 1, 1974 under rent control, making tenants who had been living in these rent-controlled apartments since January 1, 1971 Don't worry about skyrocketing rent.

"Continuous residence" can basically be understood as "children can inherit". Even if the younger generation no longer belongs to the low-income group, as long as they continue to live in the old house, they will enjoy the protection of rent increases. The so-called protection means that the landlord cannot make the final decision on the annual housing increase. Instead, a government-appointed rent-setting committee makes specific regulations based on the inflation of the previous year. Generally speaking, this kind of rent increase is very, very small, basically at the level of 2% to 4%.

This has led to skyrocketing housing prices in some places in Manhattan, New York. For example, in SoHo, where fashionistas gather in downtown, housing prices are shocking. However, in Clinton District, rents are very cheap. This is why, obviously, in Manhattan , why does Clinton still become the notorious Hell's Kitchen? Because the rent is cheap!

Anyway, these tenants were evicted from the joint building and used some bad tactics, so the tenants hired Matt and Foggy to fight their case. This is definitely a big case!

Now that we are talking about Lianhe Jiazhou Road, we have to mention Karen Page.

This girl's narrow escape was a blessing in disguise. She was required by United Construction to sign a confidentiality agreement, which prohibited her from revealing any information about the United Construction case. For this reason, United Construction Company gave a seven-figure compensation!

That's a lot of money.

Then Peggy, who became a millionaire, joined Matt and Fergie's law firm... and became a free clerk, accountant, secretary, cleaning, logistics and other non-lawyer positions.

Fergie initially had a crush on such a girl and originally planned to take action.

But I soon discovered that this woman had bad intentions!

She's just here for Matt!

But it’s normal to think about it. If someone works in this shabby law firm for no money and works hard without complaint, is it really promoting the spirit of internationalism?

Fergie didn't even have time to feel sad. His love affair was over before it even started, and Matt's romance came again.

Foggy really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of mess, but this case is very difficult and he can't handle it alone!

…

Kai and Natalie had a wonderful meal here, and planned to send Natalie back. But Natalie proposed to visit Kai's new home.

Natalie hasn't been there yet, but Tony and Pepper have visited together, and Tony also praised Afu's cooking skills.

Kai did not comment on this. Afu and Merlin built the small building so perfectly that they were confident that no one would be able to spot anything wrong. In this case, Kai has no reason to refuse Natalie to go to his house. Besides, refusal is the only problem, right?

One thing I forgot to mention here is that Kai’s house is very close to Matt’s law firm, and the straight-line distance is no more than a hundred meters.

When Kai passed by, he saw Matt arguing with a woman next to the building, and then they parted unhappily. Kai didn't care at first.

Instead, he took Natalie to his home.

Natalie was very honest and just took a normal tour. She didn't do anything, but she was very curious about Ah Fu and Merlin, and asked some random questions, but what were Merlin and Ah Fu? She was in the same industry as Natalie, so she kept her mouth shut.

And Natalie didn't plan to get to the point in one step, and didn't go into it.

After staying happily for two hours, Natalie left. She rejected Kai's suggestion to send her home, because Kai's work time was about to end. In order to accompany her, Kai skipped work in the morning, and it would be a bit bad if he didn't go in the afternoon.

Look, how considerate he is.

Kai really planned to accompany her for a day.

So after Natalie went back, Kai really had nowhere to go for a while.

After thinking about it, he went to Matt's law firm to sit down.

When I arrived at the office, I ran into Fergie. Thinking of the scene I saw before, I asked casually, "What's wrong with Matt? I saw him just now. He seemed very busy."

Fergie pushed away the documents on the table, sighed deeply, and looked in the direction of Karen outside the office: "Nothing, he has some personal matters to deal with."

Kai didn't care too much, so he asked casually, "Why, someone is competing with Karen for Matt?"

Fergie turned his head and looked at him in surprise: "How do you know?"

Kai was also a little surprised and asked him, "Is there anyone who doesn't know that Karen likes Matt? Karen is a millionaire who works for you for nothing. You don't really think she just wants to express her gratitude?"

Because Matt's office often goes to the 15th Precinct to take cases, they are quite familiar with the people in the police station, so everyone's actions are generally known to everyone.

"Then how did you guess that Karen had anything to do with Matt?"

"Who told you to look at Karen when you spoke? I guess it's a relationship problem."

Fergie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Anyway, it's a bit troublesome. That woman is an old acquaintance of Matt, so I can't say anything."

"Yeah, you also have an old acquaintance, so you must understand Matt's difficulties."

Fergie looked at Kai in shock: "How did you know?"

Kai was puzzled, with an expression on his face that asked what you were talking about.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!" Fergie realized that he was a little nervous.

But this aroused Kai's interest: "Tsk... I didn't expect that you, a little fat guy, are quite romantic."

"No, no!"

"You deny it, I can smell the woman's perfume on you from such a distance."

Kai didn't come to inspect the work, he just chatted casually, and naturally talked about whatever he wanted to talk about. As a result, I don't know how, he talked about the current predicament of the firm.

Matt's ex-girlfriend was involved.

Matt's ex-girlfriend was a rich woman. Not long ago, she wrote a large check to Matt to help her fight a lawsuit.

Of course, Fergie supported this kind of thing. Why not take it if he had the money?

Fergie knew their financial situation very well. If Karen hadn't helped them pay the rent privately, their firm, which had only been open for a few months, would have faced the situation of closing down.

But Matt refused to take it! Matt returned the check with backbone, which made Fergie very angry. Even if he had a grudge with his ex-girlfriend, he shouldn't be so hard on the money. He didn't even know what Matt's ex-girlfriend's commission was.

So Fergie was very unhappy.
