Chapter 49: Hard to Distinguish True from False
It was already dark when they passed through customs.
Gao Yi had told Sean that after the customs, they would head straight to Los Angeles overnight, as Los Angeles, being a large city close to Mexico, was a sensible place to settle.
However, in reality, after clearing customs, Gao Yi's first act was to find a motel.
Gao Yi had told a little lie about this matter.
No harm meant, yet precaution needed—despite Sean's insistence on him joining the Garden, Gao Yi had made his refusal clear.
People, harboring the intent to destroy what they couldn't possess, were not few, and given Sean's underworld connections and the precarious situation of the Garden, Gao Yi certainly had to be wary.
