Secret Agent Nguyen: Central Park's Secrets

by pingponghua

Liên Thi Nguyen has been a member of the CIA since she was 8 years old. As a young child, Liên learned self-defense (karate and kendo), how to handle various guns, and many branches of science. Her main goal was to capture the head of the Chinese mafia. Now an undercover student in New York, Liên has to watch over someone, yet there's something unusual about the student.

4. Chapter 4

CIA Tip #4: Act as if you have nothing to hide, act as if nothing is wrong. That's the best way to adapt to your current environment.

After school, I decided to go get a cup of Lee's coffee to help me as I do my homework and do more thorough research for my current target, Mei Wang, along with the Chinese mafia. I typed in 'Vietnamese coffee shops in New York." A couple of results appeared. Nam café, Paris Sandwich, An Choi...I'll go with An Choi. Even if it's slightly far away, I can still travel around; Alfred gave me a Metro card as soon as I landed.

My plans were interrupted by a girl about the same height as me. She tapped my shoulder, greeting me with an unknown phrase. "Szia Liên!" The girl had sandy brown hair and cool green eyes. An orange flower was clipped to her right side.

"I'm sorry?" My attention shifted from the coffee shops to the girl. The girl gave me a sheepish smile at my confusion.

"Ah, sorry. Earlier, I said 'hello' in Hungarian," she answered. "My name's Elizaveta Héderváry."

"Hello, I'm...wait, I don't need to introduce myself. You just said my name earlier. How do you know my name?" I asked. I was quite shocked by how quickly news spread. I just hope I don't get noticed.

"The news of a foreign exchange student spread like wildfire! Usually, when someone comes from a different country, we're always excited! In fact, we all fight over for attention from the new student!" Elizaveta beamed with joy while she spoke. Oh my gosh, no. I don't want to get noticed. Even being in a karaoke bar in Hong Kong is better than being here.

"Elizaveta! Where were you?" A girl with a large pink plum blossom sat was on her head, with a curl touching her forehead. She had round chocolate eyes and wavy chestnut hair.

"Oh, just talking to the new student." Elizaveta pointed at me. I waved shyly at the girl.

Wait! Chestnut hair? Round chocolate hair? Pink plum blossom? No doubt this is Mei Wang! Yes, this is splendid! I've met my current target today.

"New student? Oh my gosh, Xin chào!" 'Mei' bowed slightly at me, which I did so in return.

"Hello, I'm Liên, as most of you already know." I held out my hand to shake with Elizaveta and Mei Wang.

After brief greetings, Elizaveta asked, "Hey, Liên. Would you like to come with us to Starbucks? Then we can go to Forever 21 and shop!"

"Err...umm..." The thought of going to Forever 21 sickened me a little. However, I knew I could refuse no offer to get closer to my target.

"Why not?"
