Chapter 421: Looking for Mickey (6)
This Chinese American is Hood!
Everyone exchanged pleasantries as they entered the villa and sat on the sofa. The hostess also appeared to greet the guests, handing each person a cup of hot coffee and a plate of fruit...
"Come, both you and your wife, sit down. I'll make a formal introduction." Heath now acted like the host.
"These two are police officers from China. This is Captain Liu Shan, and this is Officer Gu Dun." It was not until now that Heath revealed the true identities of Liu Shan and the others, for fear of scaring the Chinese couple.
"police?"
"Police from China?"
The couple's faces changed color.
"Sheriff, we haven't been to China for many years and we don't have any relatives in Province X. Why would the Chinese police come to us?" Hood asked.
From a distance, Hood looks quite young, but up close, this man over fifty is indeed not young anymore!
His hair was probably dyed;
The corners of his eyes were covered with crow's feet;
Several deep lines have already appeared on his forehead...
The small eyes were filled with weathered mist... It seemed that there were many unspeakable stories hidden behind the mist!
Of course, his attire is exquisite, well-tailored, and designer from head to toe...
Then there was his wife, beautiful and dignified. She had all the graces, manners, expressions, and even the look of a wealthy woman, all displaying her elegance and refinement.
Heath said his wife was an international student studying fashion design. To earn a living, she worked at Hood's factory during the summer vacation. Unexpectedly, she ran into the boss, Hood, who had just lost his wife. He fell in love with this girl in her early twenties at first sight and began to pursue her madly... At first, she was a little hesitant. After all, Hood was twenty years older than her and could be her father. But then she thought again, Hood owned a clothing factory that exported overseas. Marrying Hood would not only mean a worry-free career, but also a worry-free life... So, this female college student married Hood as soon as she graduated. At first, she worked as a fashion designer for a year, but later she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, so she stayed at home to take care of her husband and raise her daughter...
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to what I have to say first!" Heath said slowly.
"Captain Liu, this is Mr. Hood. This is Mr. Hood's wife, Ye Liya."
Heath continued speaking along his own lines.
"These two Chinese policemen are looking for you today because of a little boy named Mickey. According to the human traffickers they arrested, the little boy was abducted, sent to the United States, and sold to your family..." Heath said.
"Mr. Hood, you have to tell me the truth, did you spend money to buy a little boy recently?" Heath, who had been smiling just now, suddenly frowned... He stared at Hood sternly. Hood was a little overwhelmed by his glare and quickly said:
"Sheriff Heath, here's what happened..."
"You said..." Heath still stared at him.
"Ever since my wife gave birth to a girl, I have always wanted a boy... But for some reason, no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't get pregnant!" said Hood.
"We Chinese people attach great importance to the continuation of the family line. The family business must be passed on to a male child. In the future, my company will also be passed on to my son. We don't have a male child, so we can only adopt..." said Hood.
