Chapter 50: This Is the Last Chance (Part II)

Without further ado, Zhou Ming and Alan set off immediately, and when Alan contacted his friend who worked in the governor's office, Will Adams on the other side also dialed Old Brooke's phone.

"Congressman Brooke, I hope I didn't disturb your meeting, but I have a message here that you are very concerned about, about the Chinese you hate so much. "It wasn't a big deal, but at noon he invited me to lunch and talk a little bit about the Wharton case." ”

"I see. Old Brooke breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that guy pleading with you, or is he threatening you with the last tape and asking for a new verdict?"

Will Adams nodded, "That's it, but I'm from the Addams family, how can I be threatened by him?" so I told him not to be delusional, and I told him that if he wanted to change his fate, he could go to the governor and use the state treasury to pay the claim for him." ”

Hearing him say this, Old Brooke suddenly became nervous: "What? Will you really say that? Why did you tell him this, don't you know that this is giving him a chance?"

Will Adams disagreed: "What does it matter to tell him, do you still think he is going to go to the governor? Only an idiot would do that, right? I'm just going to tell him, give him a chance, but at the same time it's hopeless, so that it can hit him harder, right? I'm also thinking about you for Councilor Brooke, shouldn't you thank me?"

Old Brooke sighed and said, "I don't want to thank you, Will, because you not only gave him a chance, but also showed him a direction in which he could succeed." ”

Will Adams was a little surprised: "Are you sure you are Congressman Brooke? When did you become so timid and suspicious? If you want me to tell you, our Massachusetts is also a central state in New England, and the governor is not a big connection with us by the Adams family, and is a very noble existence, do you think he is a cashier in a supermarket? He can see him whenever he wants?"

"Also," Will Adams continued, "as far as I know, the governor is not ordinary, a foreigner who has only been in the United States for half a year, or the most despicable Chinese, can see him and talk to him? unless God helps, but unfortunately he does not believe in God!"

"I hope so, but I should have called the state just to be on the safe side. Old Brooke remembered something, and then said, "Though you ought not to tell Will, I still appreciate you for telling me the news, and to-morrow I will send you a check to your house, and it will be the number you want." ”

Then Old Brooke hung up the phone, and Will Adams also hung up the phone, but his face was full of disdain, and his mouth muttered: "It seems that this old guy Brooke is also too persistent, just a Chinese, why be so nervous? If you can't still fund me a little money, I won't bother to care about you!"

......

Back to Zhou Ming's side, under Zhang Lin's superb driving skills, within half an hour, they came to the state government building in South Brighton.

In the car, Alan dialed James's phone, but no one answered, Alan dialed again and still no one answered, Alan dialed the third time and no one answered, so he had to call a pager message to him, at this time a motorcade drove out of the state government building, so that Alan was stunned, and even forgot to say the pager message, because he knew that the convoy was the governor's convoy.

How can this be? Could it be that the governor has already gone out? But didn't James just say that the governor would not go out until an hour later? Now it's only half an hour!

Allen's surprise was quickly explained, and after only a minute, Allen's cell phone rang, and Allen immediately connected.

Hearing that it was James's voice, Alan immediately asked, "James, my brother, what happened, why did I see the governor's motorcade leave just now?"

James, for his part, said, "Brother Allen, that's why I called you, and I'm so sorry to tell you that just now, the governor had left early. ”

"Why did you leave early, Mr. Governor, is there anything important?" Alan asked subconsciously.

James thought for a moment and replied: "Originally, Mr. Governor was going to communicate with the parliament about the new stimulus bill, but Senator Brooke did not attend due to temporary matters, so this meeting was temporarily canceled, and the governor left early. ”

"Senator Brooke again?" Alan surprised.

"What's the point, is there anything wrong with Senator Brook?" asked James, curious.

Alan was shocked to realize that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said to James that there was no problem, and then exchanged with Zhou Ming before asking: "Then do you know where Mr. Governor went?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know that Mr. Governor decided to make the trip, but I can tell you that the Governor said he was going to visit the son of a friend of his. James said.

After telling Zhou Ming the news, James hung up the phone apologetically, and Alan put away his mobile phone and repeated the situation that James had told him just now: "Mr. Zhou Ming, it seems that this time it is Mr. Governor's private trip." But damn it, it's Senator Brooke again, and it must have been that bitch from Will Adams who told him, so he deliberately canceled the meeting today so that the governor could get out early!"

"It's very likely that this is the case, but it can't be helped. Zhou Ming said and turned his head to Zhang Lin and asked, "Can you still keep up with the governor and their convoy now?"

Zhang Lin replied while starting the car: "Now that their convoy is not long, I can try, after all, he is the governor, and the route of his car is likely to choose the main road, so open and safe." ”

"Do your best, I have a hunch that we're going to see the governor today. Zhou Ming said.

Zhang Lin didn't speak, but stepped on the accelerator to the end, quickly overtook several cars, and finally saw the governor's motorcade after crossing an intersection, but they didn't have time to cheer before they were blocked by a traffic light.

"God, why did you give us a red light at this time?" Alan said disappointedly, "Mr. Zhang Lin, can't you just run a red light? I can proceed with this lawsuit for free, or can we also walk through the side path?"

Zhang Lin didn't answer, but pointed to the vehicles on both sides of Allen, they were in the middle of the road, not in front of the stop line, there were vehicles blocking the front and back, left and right, unless they crashed all the way out, it was impossible to quickly catch up with the governor's motorcade, but if they did, they would only attract the police faster, and would not catch up with the governor's motorcade.

Regarding another point, Zhou Ming answered for Zhang Lin: "It is not so simple to go around the path, because the prerequisite for passing from the small road is to know which direction they are going, but this is a fork in the road in front of it, and once you go wrong, you will go in the opposite direction." ”

"But Mr. Zhou Ming, you said this is your last chance, and I think it's worth taking a gamble. "I know this governor's political advocacy is more northern, so he's going to go the way north, and we can try to catch up." ”

Zhou Ming disagreed: "But lawyer Allen, you may have forgotten that your friend Mr. James just said that Mr. Governor did not go out this time because of work, but to visit his friend's son, which is a private matter." ”

Alan was deflated: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what should I do? I finally found the governor, and I lost it like this, it's really unwilling!"

"That's not necessarily, the governor is a convoy after all, and the roads traveled will definitely be slightly different from ordinary roads, such as the distance between cars, etc., as long as you are careful about the separation, you can still distinguish it. Zhou Ming said.

"This ...... Will it work?" asked Allen, uncertain.

"Do your best, have you forgotten what I said? Zhou Ming said.

Alan didn't know where Zhou Ming's confidence came from, but he didn't say anything at this time, and then when the traffic light ended, Zhang Lin drove the car in the direction of the governor's motorcade, and only slowed down until he was close to the fork in the road, he carefully observed the situation on both sides and said to Zhou Ming: "I think the governor's motorteam is likely to go south." ”

Zhou Ming immediately decided: "Then let's go south and see if we can catch up." ”

Zhang Lin nodded silently and sped up again, but at this moment, Zhou Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, Zhou Ming picked it up and connected it, it was actually Omar calling.

As soon as the call was connected, Omar couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Zhou Ming, I want to tell you something very incredible. Just now, the governor's secretary called me and said the governor was coming to my Vida community. ”

In the face of this news, no matter how good Zhou Ming's psychological quality is, he can't help but be surprised, although Zhou Ming does have a hunch that he can meet with the governor, but at least it should be himself and Zhang Lin, the king of soldiers, from the clues on the road to find the governor's progress clues little by little, and finally go through twists and turns to see the governor, but he didn't think that now Omar actually called directly to say that he was there, which made Zhou Ming have a feeling of living in a dream.

However, Zhou Ming also quickly stabilized his mood and confirmed with Omar again, before asking Zhang Lin to speed up and rush towards the Vinda community, and at the same time, Zhou Ming also thought of another question.

"Omar, what's your relationship with the governor? He should be going to see his friend's son now. Zhou Ming asked.

"It's my mother," Omar replied, "and my mother and Mr. Governor have known each other for more than thirty years. ”

This answer made Zhou Ming suddenly realize, this is really an old friend, and it also explains why he can be elected president after 17 years, after all, this world is realistic, a civilian who has nothing, no matter how talented he is, no matter how hard he works, without the efforts of several generations, it is impossible to live in the White House. 'We don't know which kid in the school bus will be the president of the United States' can only fool the ignorant naΓ―ve teenagers.

Zhou Ming knew that now was not the time to think about this, but he couldn't help but think about it, because if the relationship between the governor and Omar was really that good, maybe this would be an opportunity for him, and it would be the best chance for him in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming exhaled a long breath, and then said to Omar: "Omar, now I need you to do me a favor, I will come to the Vinda community immediately, I need a face-to-face communication opportunity with Mr. Governor, can you help me?"

Omar did not hesitate to give the answer: "No problem." ”
