North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 1385 - 749: Accident

Justin is quite reliable. Jimmy marked each point he mentioned on the map, and the distances between them are indeed as he said, completely manageable with a seaplane. However, from Miami out into the open sea, it's nearly a thousand kilometers to the Dominican Republic. There aren't many seaplanes capable of such a journey, as they're generally meant for short-haul takeoffs and landings.

He forgot to inquire about the plane model earlier, but since such a route can be arranged, it should be fine. Maybe they're using one of the few models suitable for long-distance transport.

The Dominican Republic is a rather unique country. Though it's not far from the United States' Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, traveling back and forth by plane or yacht is easy; dealing with checks and customs is troublesome.

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are U.S. territories; traveling to the mainland is considered domestic travel. Justin mentioned that getting an ID allows you to travel, yet Jimmy is unsatisfied with these arrangements. Involving commercial flights ensures surveillance can capture Jimmy's image. Perhaps makeup can prevent some exposure, but there's always a risk.

This time he's dealing with a major tycoon, and such individuals often have powerful connections. If something happens to them, investigations ensue, even if just for self-preservation. Actual exposure means losing everything, and suspicion alone might wield enough power to obliterate one's future or directly attack.

The actions on Justin's side might have been too high-profile. Days later, Jimmy received a call, "Mr. Yang, are you free this weekend?"

Jimmy: "Charon, what's up?"

Charon: "Mr. Winston would like to invite you for golf."

Jimmy: "Hold on... What time?"

Charon: "Saturday morning, perhaps?"

Jimmy: "OK, just send me the address."

After providing the address, Charon quickly hung up. Jimmy, holding his phone, shook his head with a wry smile. He couldn't believe Winston would suddenly, unexpectedly reach out. Justin's side must have leaked something linking Winston back to him, diverging from the original intention of hiring Justin to prevent information leakage.

Nevertheless, it's not the worst scenario since the leak hasn't spread entirely. Conversations with Winston can potentially temporarily contain news.

Over the weekend, after making sandwiches and coffee for Nia in the morning, Jimmy left home. Nia still needs shift rotations, much more tiring than Jimmy could imagine. He finds himself in a cushy position, potentially lazing at the office unless he gives himself tasks.

Shanoke Golf Club is in Long Island, a high-end member-only club Jimmy knows by name but never attended. Golf is unfamiliar territory for him, and unsure of any preparations, he arrived in his usual attire.

Jimmy's car slowly rolled onto the club's exclusive driveway, observing the surrounding environment. Vast, orderly greens sectioned by trees occasionally revealed people standing or strolling, appearing relaxed.

He reached the Victorian-style building's entrance, seeing Charon and a club staff member waiting. After Jimmy parked, the staff took his keys to relocate the car, while Charon stepped down from the stairs saying, "Long time no see, Mr. Yang. Please follow me."

Jimmy shook hands with Charon, following him through the bronze doors into the building. The polished wooden floor and the European chandelier on the tall ceiling exuded warm yellow light. The hallway felt comfortable, devoid of any oppressiveness or solemnity.

With a faint, elusive melody in the air, Charon guided Jimmy to a reception room. Several paintings adorned light blue walls with an expansive window overlooking the golf course. Four single sofas formed a semi-circle nearby, with a wine rack across holding numerous bottles.

Winston with his back towards the door gazed outside. Upon introduction, Charon said, "Sir, Mr. Yang has arrived."

Winston turned, walked over, smiling as he shook Jimmys hand, "Jimmy, long time no see. Please, have a seat."

Jimmy and Winston sat while Charon moved to the liquor rack, giving Jimmy and Winston a pour, then stood silently by with hands before his abdomen.

Jimmy: "Long time no see, Winston. How have things been lately?"

Winston: "Not bad. How does this place strike you?"

Jimmy: "Very nice. Though it's my first time here, I've never played golf."

Winston: "That won't do. A man like you shall ascend, and places like this will become frequent. Charon."

Charon handed Winston a card from his pocket, who passed it to Jimmy, "Take it. Remember to renew later."

Jimmy glanced at the membership card, raised his eyebrows, "Thanks, Winston." He pocketed the card, "Seems familiar around here. Any interesting spots?"
