Woman Under The Pagoda

Staying in a crowded Chinese restaurant wearing a pair of magical eyeglasses, you’ll be able to see what ordinary people cannot see.
Ren, the owner and the chef at the grill, is smiling and nodding at the customers. He is almost forty. At seventeen, he sneaked into the USA led by a Snakehead. He has killed more than once, is currently breaking many laws, and planning to expand his empire as the King of Chinatown.
Yin-yin, Ren’s wife and the hostess, is standing by the door greeting people. She is thirty. At eighteen, she entered America by way of a fake marriage with a Professional Spouse. She has survived rape, torture, betrayal, and is now trying to free herself from a pagoda under which she and many other women are buried alive.
Scott, an American sitting alone, is in love with Yin-yin. He is also thirty. He has worked hard to finish college then become a social worker. Pretending to be a mere customer, he is staring at Yin-yin admiringly, eager to rescue her then spend the rest of his life with her.
Two American gentlemen, a detective and a police officer in plain clothes, are sharing a corner table. Eating slowly, observing all the happenings cautiously, they are exchanging their findings in whispers, and taking mental notes of Ren’s evil doings.
Four Chinese young men, all dressed in black, are sharing another corner table. Reaching for tea, they reveal the tattoo of red dragons on their forearms. They have not ordered food, because they are Ren’s cronies, paid well to carry out his every order.
