Chapter 137 Falling in love with the man who doesn't come home

Tony Scott looked at the audition footage of Tom Cruise and Sophie Marceau in the camera and snapped his fingers in satisfaction!
Jerry Bruckheimer saw Sophie Marceau looking at him, and Jerry quickly gave Sophie a thumbs up. This is the young lady, he has to take good care of her!

"Sophie! Your camera sense is great!"

"Cruise, you are also great, but can you properly adjust your line of sight when shooting?"

As soon as Tony Scott looked up, he saw Tom Cruise looking at Sophie Marceau standing opposite him with a smile on his face. Tony Scott lowered his head and coughed deliberately.

Only then did Tom Cruise come to his senses and realize that the director called him.

Sophie Marceau has long been used to the eyes of those men always focusing on her from time to time. Jerry Bruckheimer dragged Sophie Marceau aside with an embarrassed look on his face and exhorted: "The character's The matter is so confirmed, we will officially start filming tomorrow, and our main shots will focus on Hawaii, is your time okay?"

As soon as Sophie Marceau heard that the location was in Hawaii, her expression changed immediately.

All kinds of battles between heaven and man began in her mind very quickly, but Jerry Bruckheimer didn't notice that these were still sorting out the documents and passports that Sophie Marceau needed to prepare for filming.

"Ah~"

Hearing Sophie Marceau's sigh, Jerry Bruckheimer hurriedly stopped the conversation with Sophie Marceau's agent and asked concerned: "Ms. Sophie, what's the matter? Is it Mr. Tausi? Is there any other arrangement?" ? The filming of [Top Gun] may have ended in 2 months."

"fine!"

Sophie Marceau looked around at the staff serving her and found a place to rest sadly.

Sophie signed, signed to MGM Pictures.

It's just that her contract at MGM is very generous. Not only does she have the autonomy of her own schedule, but she also has the right to terminate the contract at any time.

Sophie didn't know how Tao Xi got her such a harsh contract!

You must know that this kind of contract can be regarded as an [A-level contract] that has never been seen before in MGM. There are as many as four brokerage assistants around her, and there are even two bodyguards. She had never felt treated in France.

But why is she unhappy?

Because Sophie found that she seemed to be in love with a man who would rather squat on the curb and eat hot dogs than go home!

She came back from Kenya to rest for a week, and Tao Xi stayed with her for one night. She wanted to talk to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi took her to sign the economic artist contract that night.

Sophie Marceau, who got up early in the morning, touched Taoxi's bed and it was cold. If Nilta hadn't leaked her words, Sophie would not have known that Taoxi and Marco moved into the sewer again.

But fortunately, Sophie Marceau no longer needs a motorhome.

In a rich man's villa located behind Harvard Westlake High School, a top private high school, there are three properties belonging to Tao Xi, one of which was lived in by her, and next door is the residence of Hill's good boy.

"Okay! You can go to rest, just remember to come to the scene on time tomorrow."

Sophie Marceau, who got in the nanny's car, turned to the assistant and said, "Let's go to Chinatown first, and prepare some ingredients first. I'm going to see Tao Xi."
-
The centipede-like scar on Leo's chest did not affect other people's perception of him. On the contrary, several sewer residents would unconsciously stop and leave here when they saw Leo, who was shirtless and applying medicine.

"You take these medicines away! Remember to change your own medicine every day, don't get infected, and if you don't get the $30 reward, I don't want you to die."

"Why are these medicines for pets?"

After hearing this, Marco suppressed a smile and turned around, but Tao Xi asked solemnly: "Don't you know that anti-inflammatory drugs are prescription drugs? Do you think you can use prescription drugs with your status?"

Leo frowned and glanced at Marco, who turned around and kept shrugging his shoulders, muttering to himself: "Crazy."

On the contrary, Tao Xi didn't do anything but kept recalling what Leo had said to him after he woke up.

Leo is a Mexican. The Mexicans in the United States cannot be said to be 100%. 70% of them are immigrants, and 70% of these 40% are smuggled immigrants.

But Leo is not, he is in that 30%.

A house in San Francisco and a stable job made Leo think that their family of three's little days in the United States have just passed away. After all, they are black, and the smooth sailing you think is impossible.

The Great Depression in the 70s caused Leo to lose his job in the boxing gym. Leo, who only had brute strength, could do nothing but join gangs.

At that time, the Lame Gang was just emerging, and Leo also climbed quickly in the Lame Gang by relying on his tallness. Speaking of this, I have to talk about the legendary Stanley Williams of the Lame Gang!
1979 was the most glorious time for Stanley Williams, and it was also the time when Stanley Williams led the lame gang and the East Los Angeles gang to fight inextricably. Even the mafia that could reach the sky in the United States at that time had to stay away.

Leo also became an "assistant" of Stanley Williams that year. Leo, who was admired by Stanley Williams, was indeed very popular in the Lame Gang at the time, but he was also affected by Stanley Williams' decision-making. Made a lot of enemies.

The United States allows the existence of gangs, but does not allow the gangs to become big. The spiritual leader of the blood gang and Tao Xi's godfather, Bolton, punished himself with three cups and ran to Los Angeles Prison 86 to squat.

The disintegration of the blood gang made the lame gang, but it hurt Stanley Williams. As the gang leader at the time, Stanley Williams could lead thousands of people to burn, kill and loot at night with a single call.

Although Stanley Williams didn't do this, he has this kind of strength.

Once the FBI decides to clean up you, it will definitely clean up one. In 1981, Stanley Williams was closed in San Quentin Prison, San Quentin, the largest death penalty prison in San Francisco, after just three days of trial.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Stanley Williams' imprisonment first affected the group of people around him. They either died on the way home or had a heart attack for no reason. Leo, who was deeply disturbed, was talking with him His wife hid in the sewer after a hasty divorce.

Bolton's imprisonment can be said to be premeditated and planned. After Bolton was imprisoned, he still had Kushner.

But when Stanley Williams was imprisoned, the Cripple Gang had only one name left, and because of the infighting and fragmentation of the Cripple Gang, Stanley Williams who stayed in prison was tortured conservatively!
Why do you say the lame gang? The problem is with the lame gang.

Although their core figures are in prison, those small gangs are still rushing to join the lame gang.

All this is because there is a practice in the anti-crime team. If the leader of a certain gang is imprisoned, when the task of arresting the gang is carried out, the punishment will only be based on a single case or a related case, and the entire gang will not be blamed. Being on someone's back!
It was precisely because Stanley Williams was in prison that the leaders of those small gangs joined the lame gang one after another in order not to take the blame.

If the leader of the Cripple Gang stays alive in prison, then these members of the Cripple Gang can act recklessly outside under the name of the Cripple Gang to avoid being targeted by the FBI. Even if they are targeted, it is different.

The same is true for the Blood Gang, except that the Blood Gang has already established momentum because of Kushner and other old-school figures, and it still has some control over the small gangs below.

But the Cripple Gang is miserable. The old, the dead, the running, no one can stand out. Losing the centralized jurisdiction, the Cripple Gang has spread to the whole of the United States in less than a year.

But Leo is still smart. He placed his wife and children in Fremont County in the San Francisco Bay Area. very low.

But since the [Los Angeles Rambler] appeared, there have been many cases of child molestation in this populous county.

At first, the police did not connect the two. It took about four months before Los Angeles State Police Gill announced the discovery in front of the media.

That night, Leo's son was quietly kidnapped by the "Los Angeles Rambler" by opening the window. Although he was sent back the next day, he was a child after all!
Liushen Wuzhu's wife contacted Leo, and Leo, who has not been engaged in drug dealing for almost three months, is trying to avenge his son!
Finally, the opportunity came. A middle-aged couple was killed at home and their money was looted. When the police announced the clues to the public, they also released a list of the missing financial items in the victim's home.

Following the clues, Leo found a black market in Diamond Bar. Unfortunately, the black market in Diamond Bar County was the site of the Lame Gang. Leo, a familiar face, was targeted when he first appeared here.

Tigers don't hurt people, but people hurt tigers' hearts. Under the arrangement of his old friend, Leo finally met the black market businessman who received a lady's gold necklace: "He was a car thief who wandered in San Francisco before! As long as there is him The second-hand car market, there will definitely be lost cars! You can definitely find him in these places."

Leo, who got the clue, was stabbed in the stomach before he could walk out of the black market.

Leo, who didn't dare to go to the hospital, simply took care of his wounds and then started wandering aimlessly throughout the used car market in San Francisco.

"I found him at a used car market in Alameda, California, in the East Bay area of ​​San Francisco, but I was already running a fever."

"That guy looks handsome, but he has big yellow teeth and his clothes are old-fashioned!"

"A tall and thin man in a black robe and a blue navy cap. When he found me, he ran away immediately, and my physical fitness could no longer keep up."

"After the man found out that I was injured, he turned around and punched me in the stomach several times!"

But Tao Xi and Marco looked at each other and said in a very tacit understanding: "The second-hand car market in Alameda?"

"Yes! That's right, I'm sure it's there!"
