A Secret Meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel

The Unusual Instructions

First-person reports and court papers describe a man being instructed to utter “banana peel” at the Four Seasons Hotel front desk in central Manhattan.

After that, the concierge gives him an envelope containing instructions to go around the block twice before getting more details. When he returns, he is escorted to the penthouse room via a secret elevator that isn’t even used for celebrities but rather just for visiting dignitaries who are thought to be assassination threats.

A Familiar Face

After fifteen minutes, Sun Lijun walks in and starts a cigarette. The fact that Sun is the third-highest-ranked official in China is not the only reason the man knows him. They had really met while the man was visiting Hong Kong, where he was chased into mainland China by Chinese Communist Party agents, who also snatched his passport and blinded him.

A Discussion About Detained Americans

At the Four Seasons, the man seated on a soft couch is not greeted by the sun. Instead, the CCP leader cites Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ communication about three American captives being detained in China.

One is a lady who is pregnant. Sun queries the man on what needs to be done with the woman. It is his sincere opinion that she ought to be set free. After calling, Sun gives the guy an itinerary, which serves as evidence that the lady would be released and flown back to the United States.

The Aftermath

The guy enters Lure, his favorite SoHo hangout, and is apprehended by the federal authorities a week later, at the end of 2018.
