#525 - Chapter 12 A Small Interlude

Intuition told him this thing was useful, and Liu Yuan became interested in the glasses. He said, "Let's go with this one! Its design is very unique, and I like it a lot. However, it seems a bit expensive to accept it as a gift. How about this, I'll give you $200 for it, consider it buying it." After speaking, he took out two Franklin bills from his pocket and handed them to Sam.

Sam originally wanted to refuse the money, but thinking of his own empty wallet, he accepted it. He gratefully bowed deeply to Liu Yuan and thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu. Rest assured, I will work hard for you."

After seeing Sam off, Liu Yuan returned to the restaurant. The news about the U.S. military's Sancoson base that he had seen on the computer earlier was no longer there. In its place were reports about finance and real estate. It turned out that the United States had already begun to control the internet from now on.

Liu Yuan thought that he had nothing to do today, so he decided to call the female police officer named Tracy. He had promised to invite her to dinner, and several days had passed. It was time to fulfill his promise.

Tracy was applying nail polish and answered the phone casually, "Hello~ This is me. Oh, it's you!" She seemed particularly happy after receiving Liu Yuan's call and quickly stood up.

Liu Yuan said, "Officer Tracy, I promised to contact you before. I've been busy with moving these past few days, so I was delayed. Are you free today? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"Yay!" Tracy covered the phone and jumped up and down excitedly, "Ahem, I have a day off today, so of course I'm free tonight."

Liu Yuan: "That's great. Can you tell me your address? I'm going to buy a car this afternoon and then pick you up directly."

Tracy: "You're buying a car? I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway, so I'll go with you."

Liu Yuan: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Tracy: "Not at all, I have nothing to do at home anyway. I can help you check things out. There are a lot of tricks when buying a car. It's easy for a foreigner like you to get scammed."

Liu Yuan: "Okay, then where should we meet? I'll take a taxi to pick you up." He felt that having a police officer present could avoid some unnecessary trouble.

In the end, they agreed to meet directly at the Porsche dealership. After hanging up the phone, Tracy began rummaging through her wardrobe, looking for the most beautiful clothes to wear on her date.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia border, local time 4:00 PM.

A group of soldiers traveled through the desert, covered in dust. There were about 20 of them, led by a local boy.

They arrived at a wrecked U.S. military tank. An officer-like figure ordered the soldiers, "Everyone, rest here! Epps, go take a look at the tank, can it still be operated?"

Black soldier Epps: "Yes, sir! Dees, come help me!"

A soldier with glasses followed him into the tank, and after a while, he poked his head out and said, "Sir, this thing is completely scrapped. The communication device inside has also been removed."

The officer asked, "Mamou, how far is your home from here?"

The little boy pointed in one direction and said, "If we go west from here, following the telephone poles, it's not far to Selerwa. There's a communication company's base station there."

The officer looked at his watch and said, "Everyone, rest for a while longer, and we'll set off in two hours. Ryan, is there any food left? Distribute it to everyone."

"Captain Lennox~ I think you should take a look at this." Epps poked his head out of the tank, holding a camera in his hand. "There's still power in the tank, this thing can be turned on."

William Lennox took the camera and carefully inspected it. Epps pointed to it and explained, "This thing is very advanced. Do you see those clusters of light circles on top? Those are our weapons, hitting the thermal imaging effect on top. I guess this is a kind of force field shield."

Some soldiers retorted, "Impossible, how can there be such nonsense as an invisible force field? This isn't a movie."

Someone else said, "How is that impossible? You've seen the attack of that thing! It directly blew three tanks away with one shot. Even science fiction movies aren't that exaggerated."

William Lennox: "Alright, these arguments are meaningless. Our mission is to leave here alive and then hand this thing over to the Pentagon. Everyone, hurry up and rest, we have to leave half an hour early."

Los Angeles, 3:00 PM. When Liu Yuan arrived at the car dealership by taxi, Tracy had already been waiting for a long time. She was wearing a high-slit dress, revealing her beautiful figure.

Liu Yuan said, "Tracy, it's nice to see you. You look really beautiful today!"

Tracy was secretly delighted: "Thank you for the compliment. Let's go in!"

After a brief exchange, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Their behavior became more and more intimate, and Tracy's hand had inadvertently taken his arm.

Under the salesperson's enthusiastic introduction, after careful selection, they finally settled on a silver-gray Boxster S. This model is not only stylish in appearance but also relatively affordable, costing less than $100,000.

Liu Yuan was also very generous and paid directly in cash. License plates, insurance, etc., could all be handled in the store. At this time, the staff in the store were carrying out a comprehensive maintenance of the vehicle. Liu Yuan and Tracy stood at the door chatting, discussing where to dine tonight.

Then he heard a boy exclaim excitedly, "Oh! No~ No~ No~ No~ God! Dad, you're not kidding, are you!"

Liu Yuan saw Ronald and Sam in a green Ford car.

Ronald smiled with a teasing expression: "Hahaha, of course, I'm kidding! I'm not going to buy you a Porsche. Hahaha~"

Liu Yuan saw the lifeless look on Sam's face and laughed unkindly. He actively greeted, "Hi, Ronald!"

"Hi, Liu, what a coincidence! Is this beautiful lady a friend of yours?" Ronald stopped the car, his eyes moved to Tracy's arm, and he said jokingly.

Liu Yuan: "Let me introduce you, this is Officer Tracy, my friend, who helped me a lot when I first arrived in Los Angeles. This is my neighbor Ronald Witwicky, and that is his son Sam."

Sam was sullen, but still politely responded, "Ms. Tracy, it's nice to meet you."

Liu Yuan asked knowingly, "What's wrong, Sam?"

Ronald laughed: "Hahaha, just a little joke from a father to his son. Sam really thought just now that I would buy him a new car here."
