Chapter 7: The Divine Perspective
The Nissan GT-R cruised around the city of Rio for half a day before finally locating the filming location of the movie.
Before Brian and Mia could react, Zhao Ze pulled out a thick stack of US dollars from his pocket, "This money is my sponsorship for you. By the way, when will you introduce me to Boss Tang?"
Vince's pupils constricted, and he instinctively reached for the gun behind him
I bet you!" Brian said without hesitation, "Let's first talk about where we are going next.
Zhao Ze chuckled, "You are preparing to seek refuge with Vince, but he lives in the slums, a place that is very unfriendly to strangers. Once you get there, you will understand. Anyway, Vince's life is not easy either; relying on him is definitely not a viable option. Therefore, Vince will tell you about a job, a big deal, hoping that you can join..." Anyway, Vince's life is not easy either; relying on him is definitely not a viable option. Therefore, Vince will tell you about a job, a big deal, hoping that you can join..."
"How do you know ... ..." Mia's expression changed.
Brian and Mia exchanged glances for a while, and in the end, they decided to include Zhao Ze.
As a man, being unable to bring happiness to his woman is something that Brian cannot accept
Vince took a step back and leaned closer to Brian and Mia, asking, "What is this kid's background? He seems to know something..."
Brian and Mia exchanged glances for a while, both feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
Chris? Regardless of what you are called, who permitted you to join the family
After getting off the car, Zhao Ze followed behind Brian and Mia, keenly observing the surrounding environment.
Zhao Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Whether it is allowed or not, it is not up to you to decide. Let's wait until we see Dominic tomorrow, and let him make the decision."
"I bet whether I can guess what will happen next. If I get it wrong just once, I will leave with the money; if everything I say comes true, you must persuade Dominic to let me join the team"
Zhao Ze chuckled, perhaps in the future he truly has the hope of mastering the ability to become invisible, but for now ... ...
Brian did not believe what Zhao Ze said at all, and he did not have the time to beat around the bush with Zhao Ze. He pointed directly at the car door and said: "No matter who you are, you better leave my car immediately"
With my hard-earned money, I sleep with my wife and beat my children—just thinking about the unfortunate fate that Vince is about to face makes Zhao Ze unable to help but sigh for him
Although Mia is a woman, she grew up alongside her brother Dominic, and being soft-hearted has never been her style
Mia did not possess the same level of vigilance as Brian; after all, from any perspective, the other party was merely a teenager of Asian descent. However, this did not mean that she would accept the money that Zhao Ze had presented. She gave Brian a glance and then asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Brian and Mia were clearly famished, as they devoured a full plate of food with great eagerness, their unrefined eating habits startling Vince's wife, Rosa
Vince felt a chill run down his spine under Zhao Ze's peculiar gaze, and despite the hot weather, he couldn't help but shiver
"Don't be nervous, I'm not American, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Ze waved his hand, with both hands in his pockets, swaying as he walked ahead, "Hurry up and lead the way, how would I know where you live if you don't guide me?"
Upon hearing Vince's inquiry, both Brian and Mia were at a loss for how to respond, and in the end, it was Zhao Ze who took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself
"How did you get in? Don't tell me you can turn invisible." After all, Brian came from a police background, and it was only natural for his suspicions to arise
At this point, Zhao Ze paused for a moment, mainly because the expressions of these two individuals, which fluctuated between joy and gloom, were simply too amusing
Unlike watching a movie, Zhao Ze, standing in front of the slum, experienced a different kind of feeling. The buildings constructed on the hillside were small and dilapidated, and the air was occasionally filled with the unpleasant smell of garbage. Every local person he encountered along the way looked at him with unfriendly eyes
"Brian?" Mia looked at Brian in surprise, as if she couldn't believe he said that.
What nonsense are you talking about
After filling their stomachs, Rosa took the children to rest, while Brian and Mia sat together, and Vince sat opposite them. The three of them turned their attention to Zhao Ze.
Vince remained silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I didn't intend to tell you so soon, but there is a task that is ... ... "
Brian and Mia were hesitant; reason told them they should agree with Vince's viewpoint, but everything that had happened before had already overturned their thoughts
The苦笑 on Brian and Mia's faces deepened, "Let's go to your house to discuss this, as this is not a suitable place for such a conversation"
Brian signaled to Mia with his eyes not to panic, then turned his gaze to Zhao Ze in the back seat
Mia also asked, "Brian and I just want to live a peaceful life, and we are not interested in the big business you mentioned."
What can I tell you? You must be under quite a bit of pressure during this time, right? Mia just doesn't want to burden you any longer. Zhao Ze spoke Mia's thoughts out loud, but it also made Brian's expression rather unpleasant
Brian asked back, "Are you so sure that we will definitely take the train tomorrow?"
Brian and Mia's expressions changed dramatically; they were already at the end of their rope, and if the FBI were to catch up with them, the outcome would surely be no better.
Zhao Ze rolled his eyes, fully aware that it was necessary to present some substantial evidence. He then got straight to the point and said: "I know more than you can imagine! So, how about a bet?"
Zhao Ze smacked his lips and said, "My background is difficult to explain; even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Instead, let me first explain what will happen tomorrow."
Zhao Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "Think whatever you want, you just need to choose whether to gamble or not."
Mia suddenly found it somewhat amusing, "Don't tell me you're a prophet who can predict the future, or maybe a seer?"
Oh, don't worry about those details. Aren't you short on money lately? You can use this money freely, and if it's not enough, I have more here.
My name is Chris, and I am a new member of the family. Zhao Ze chuckled lightly, looking at Vince with a gaze that carried a hint of pity. In the film, this fellow inexplicably got shot and died; although he left a substantial sum of money for his wife and children, it is undoubtedly going to benefit some other man in the future
I understand that it is difficult to trust a stranger, but you have no other choice. Either let me join you, or drive me away, but the FBI will soon find out your whereabouts.
"Why are you doing this?" Mia furrowed her brows, instinctively covering her abdomen with both hands— for a pregnant woman, any bad news would only deepen her feelings of depression
"Now we can have a proper conversation. Who exactly are you, what is your background and purpose, and how do you know about us?" Brian asked first.
Zhao Ze sighed softly, he had known it would be like this long ago
After the meeting and exchange, Vince, accompanied by Brian and Mia, headed towards his residence. However, after taking only a few steps, he noticed Zhao Ze following behind.
Who is he? Vince appeared very cautious; at first, he thought Zhao Ze was just a passerby. However, judging by Brian and Mia's reactions, it was clearly not the case
As for what will happen later... we'll talk about it when we get on the train tomorrow.
Vince was taken aback, "How did you know? Did Dom contact you?"
Don't be so absolute in what you say. Zhao Ze glanced at Mia's belly and said with a smile that was not quite a smile: "A peaceful life requires money as support. If you don't have money, I'm afraid even the little life in your belly won't be guaranteed."
Vince directly took out the gun and placed it on the table
However, Zhao Ze knows that these people are actually just for show, scaring newcomers who have just arrived. In the movie, Brian and Mia were scared and turned around to leave, but when "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson, who played Hobbs, pulled out his gun, these people immediately backed off.
Brian gave Mia a comforting look and then asked, "What do you want to bet on?"
However, speaking of it, this feeling of having a God's eye view is not bad at all. Especially when you know exactly what will happen next, but still pretend to be a guru and fool the protagonist of the movie.
You can call me Chris, I am here specifically to assist you.
Brian and Mia exchanged a glance and slowly said, "I don't understand what you mean by joining in. What exactly do you want to do?"
What happened next was completely in line with the plot of the movie. Brian was just about to turn and leave with Mia when Vince appeared just in time. Mia stepped forward to embrace him, and the expression on Brian's face, as Vince's "former rival," was undoubtedly particularly remarkable
I don't want to do it either," Zhao Ze shrugged. "You can also choose to let me join in, it all depends on how you choose."
Zhao Ze pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "One could say that; after all, for matters that cannot be explained, it is not incorrect to refer to them as prophecies."
Zhao Ze glanced at it and showed no interest in these so-called Brazilian dishes
Brian was taken aback at first, but then he was overjoyed, "You are pregnant? Mia, why didn't you tell me?"
Is this kid a madman? Vince thought he had grasped the truth
In any case, the ten thousand US dollars in Zhao Ze's hands is indeed what they urgently need at the moment. As for Zhao Ze himself, neither Brian nor Mia believes that this Asian teenager, who is only in his teens, could pull off any tricks right under their noses
Zhao Ze snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, let's put an end to the nonsense! Since the bet has come into effect, it is now time to verify whether what I said is true or false."
Vince nodded without hesitation, quickly caught up with Zhao Ze, and brought the three of them back home.
If Zhao Ze is a madman, then how does he know - or rather, how does he predict what will happen in the future?
"Is it a prophecy?" Mia asked.
"It is a huge deal!" Brian and Mia said in unison
Brian and Mia shook their heads helplessly, "He does know a lot, at least about the situation here, he got it all right. Will Dom really show up tomorrow?"
