Chapter 486 (1/2)
Santa Monica Avenue in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, is crowded with luxury cars. Palm trees on both sides stand straighter than electric poles, as if welcoming distinguished guests with the greatest sincerity.
In a line of luxury cars, there is an insignificant Cadillac, crowded in the middle of the team, crawling forward slowly like a turtle.
Hou Biao drove and carefully observed the situation of each intersection and nearby vehicles.
The Wolff family had a great influence in Los Angeles. With Hong Kui's explanation, the professor and his party were received with great hospitality. They originally arranged a Rolls Royce for Professor Mei, but Hou Biao thought the car was too conspicuous and asked for another one. The professor didn't care. He said he could take a nap. He used to drive an old Cadillac in the United States. He felt very comfortable, so he did as he wanted.
This car is easy to drown in ordinary traffic on the streets of Los Angeles, but it becomes extremely conspicuous at Beverly Hills, especially at this special moment.
Hou Biao knew that the cars around him were rich and stars who were going to attend today's charity dinner, and some of them were bodyguards. The rich and stars just drive luxury cars. What puzzles him is that their bodyguards also drive super cars. Will that make their owners rich? Or do you run faster in danger? But in Hou Biao's view, whether it's running for life or chasing, a 150 pickup truck is definitely more practical than any sports car.
Professor Mei is taking a nap in the back seat of the car. These two days of entertainment have made him dizzy. In his own words, talking to a politician is more tired than talking to a fool. A fool doesn't know what you're talking about, but a politician knows what you're talking about, pretends not to know what you're talking about, and then says something that only he knows what he's talking about, and you can never guess what he's talking about.
Mei Ziqing is very energetic. She opened her eyes wide to see the scenery outside the car, and then guessed which star was sitting in which car. Although she can be called a scientist, women's nature can't help being curious about the real-life appearance of those handsome men and beautiful women in the film.
The car stopped in front of a large building that was a bit like the post office a few decades ago. Hou Biao got out of the car, opened the door and protected the professor from the car. A receptionist who knew the professor warmly welcomed him and walked forward with the professor.
Hou Biao swept him gently with his mental strength, and then consciously fell behind several positions and followed the professor.
Other tycoons and stars also got off the bus one after another, leaving many people in suits and spy headphones on the square. Hou Biao knows that most of these are bodyguards brought by the rich. They can't enter the main venue and can only wait outside.
The police and security personnel are maintaining order and asking them to park their vehicles at the designated position. On the surface, they were polite and smiling at each other, but their eyes were full of disdain. Perhaps the police think these people are redundant. Beverly Hill is one of the safest gathering places for rich people in the world, while the bodyguards probably don't believe in the ability and responsibility of government officials, so they not only disdain, but also smile indifferently.
Hou Biao found a familiar face in the crowd. It was his own person arranged in advance. They can't enter the site, but the external inspection and defense should be done in place. Of course, it also benefits from the help of the wolf family, otherwise it would be very troublesome for him to arrange a large number of people in such a place.
The man nodded at him, then bowed his head and said something to the headset. Hou Biao also said something, looked around again, and walked behind the professor and Mei Ziqing.
The architecture of Wallis Annenberg performance center is very distinctive. It combines tradition and modernity. It looks both rich and spectacular in contemporary times and retro elegance. Walking into the marble hall, you can see eight murals, all of which are the scenes of hungry children and people lining up to get food.
As soon as Hou Biao saw the painting, he became nervous. He remembered Aoki saying that Xia Wenyuan was parasitized because he bought a famous Picasso painting from Ronald Cohen. Although the specific method of parasitism has not been clarified, it is highly possible to parasitize or activate some kind of conscious energy through paintings.
Fortunately, Professor Mei didn't go to see the murals, and Hou Biao heard someone nearby say that this is a project of the public utilities revitalization agency of the federal government, which depicts the scene of the great depression, so that everyone can't forget the past tragedy and don't follow the road of the past.
