Chapter 559: Temple

"Oh, God, Amos, what's wrong with you?" Barty was startled.

Jiang Qilan and the other three members also looked at Amos in shock.

Unexpectedly, Amos's appearance at this moment was even more terrifying.

His face was gray, his eyes were slightly bulging, and his pale lips were trembling violently. He seemed to be trying to say something, but failed.

Jiang Qilan walked down from his seat, grabbed Amos's arm slightly to prevent Amos from slipping from his seat, and asked with concern: "Mr. Amos, are you okay? Do you want me to call you?" doctor?"

Amos opened his mouth, and a vague sound came from his throat.

The bartender took a bottle of smelling salts from the bar and handed it over.

Barty took the smelling salts, opened the bottle, and put it under Amos's hooked nose.

The spicy smell instantly flowed down the nose and rushed into the chest.

Amos's eyes were filled with physiological tears, but he had recovered from the previous state.

"I, cough, I'm fine..." Amos coughed violently and took a few deep breaths.

A thought flashed through the minds of everyone present: the rumors were true. It seems that Amos is really old. sick.

Only Jiang Qilan understood: Amos was frightened like this because he heard Cheng Ling's name.

"It's better to go see a doctor. Your health is urgent, Mr. Amos." Jiang Qilan said seriously.

"Yes, do you have any underlying disease? Do you need to take some medicine?"

"There is a doctor in the White Club. I can ask the attendant to take you there..."

"No need!" Amos raised his voice.

If he goes to see a doctor today, he will be impeached by his political opponents tomorrow, and he may be kicked out of the governor's office if he is not satisfied with his term.

"I've just been too tired these past few days, haven't had a good rest, and haven't eaten much, so I'm suffering from low blood sugar," Amos explained.

"This is my poor hospitality," Batty said. He immediately picked up the phone from the bar and dialed a few numbers. After someone picked up the phone, he said, "I'm at the bar, bring us some food." down."

Then he made a few gestures to the bartender.

The bartender nodded, bent down and opened the cabinet below, took out a few boxes of exquisite unopened dried fruits, and took out a few clean small plates. He poured the dried fruits into categories on the plates, and then placed the plates on the bar.

Amos said gratefully: "Thank you, my Barty."

He picked up a few dried fruits, put them in his mouth, and chewed them.

The bartender came out of the bar and wiped the wine on the carpet with a rag. Fortunately, there was a blanket on the floor and the wine glass was not broken. The bartender picked up the wine glass and ice cubes and threw them into the trash can.

The previous topic is temporarily suspended.

Amos was unwell, so it was obviously inappropriate for them to talk and laugh.

It was Amos who took the initiative and said, "Did I disappoint everyone... I'm fine. You can continue talking."

Barty frowned and carefully observed Amos's face to see if he was forcing himself.

Amos's face regained some color, and he indeed looked as if nothing was wrong.

So, Batty said: "Old man, don't force it, tell me if you have anything."

"OK." Amos pinched the dried fruit.

He pinched the dried fruit and felt anxious - was the name Buddy just said [Cheng Ling]?

——Well done, why did you mention Cheng Ling?

Amos didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and listened to their conversation with full concentration.

But this time, their topic revolved around the recent stock market shock on Wall Street.

Amos listened for a while, but didn't hear any words related to [Cheng Ling].

Could it be that I heard it wrong? Did he mention something related to Cheng Ling?

[Cheng Ling] This pronunciation has almost no similar words in English...

But he must not take the initiative to mention the word "Cheng Ling".

That way, others will know the reason for his gaffe.

He also wanted to explain why he was interested in the word "Cheng Ling"... These cunning foxes from the United Economic Society immediately knew what they were afraid of...

They will secretly laugh at themselves for being weak chickens without eggs!

Amos gritted his teeth.

Amos didn't hear the name that frightened him again until all the members arrived and they left the bar to go to the temple.

*

The temple is located at the innermost side of White Hall.

They walked out of the house where the banquet hall was located and walked deeper inside along the path.

It was getting late and the stars were clearly visible in the sky.

Everyone stopped talking and walked towards the temple in silence.

The sound of their leather shoes on the marble and each other's breathing were very clear.

Among the many breathing sounds, Jiang Qilan could distinguish Amos's breathing, which was getting heavier and heavier.

——On both sides of the path are large trees more than ten meters high, standing in shadow, and the north wind is blowing, making a rustling sound.

Is Amos' heart disease so serious? Jiang Qilan thought.

At this time, the path came to an end, and the vision suddenly opened up.

In front of him was a large piece of soft grass. A church with a very classical architectural style, red roof, white doors, and stained glass stood in the center of the grass.

When Jiang Qilan heard this, Amos, who was walking in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so far away from the hustle and bustle that you can't even hear the whistle.

It is hard to imagine that in the bustling and most expensive neighborhood of Los Angeles, there is such a quiet place.

Their footsteps startled a dozen crows roosting on the top of the church.

The crows made dissatisfied cawing sounds and rushed into the sky.

Amos took a step back in fear and stepped on Jiang Qilan's foot.

Amos didn't notice that he was terrified.
