Zhou Ming's black car was driving on the road outside Harvard University, and the trees on both sides of the road were constantly retreating, and Lin Muqing was sitting next to Zhou Ming.

This familiar scene at first glance looks the same as when they came, but in fact it is in the opposite direction, in the previous chapter, Zhou Ming came to Harvard University at the invitation of Governor Edward, but now he is leaving Harvard.

In the car, Lin Muqing raised her hand and looked at the time, twisted her eyebrows and said: "It's only less than half an hour, and it has only taken less than half an hour since we came to Harvard University to leave us, which is a little too fast! Zhou Ming said seriously, I don't understand why you are in such a hurry to agree to them, so anxious to leave, you obviously know that they are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

In the face of Lin Muqing's complaints, Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Sister Muqing, of course I know that they are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but I don't think it has anything to do with the length of time, because they have clearly stated their attitudes, in this case, I don't think that if I continue to drag on with them, I will gain any advantages, on the contrary, I may lose a lot of benefits......

Zhou Ming thought for a while and added: "Maybe they won't give me the $200 million, that's a lot of income, whether it's for me or for Wharton Insurance Company." ”

"Zhou Ming, you know that what I said is not this!" Lin Muqing said with some annoyance, obviously she was not satisfied with Zhou Ming's explanation, "The alliance with them was facilitated by Zhou Ming, the way to deal with Adams is Zhou Ming, you came up with it and realized it step by step, when Zhou Ming started to lay out, why weren't the three major families so enthusiastic?" Now with Zhou Ming's efforts, the Addams family has been forced to a dead end, at this time they jumped out to pick peaches, and Zhou Ming, you don't interfere in the things behind, it's too much to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this!"

Lin Muqing's emotions became more and more angry, and in the end, she couldn't help but even wave her little pink fist a few times.

But then she saw that Zhou Ming seemed to have a calm face, and said with a little hatred: "Zhou Ming, in fact, it doesn't matter if we can defeat the Addams family, or how much we can profit from this matter, it's just that it's too unfair to you!"

Zhou Ming smiled helplessly and nodded: "This is indeed very unfair, but Sister Mu Qing, we should have been prepared for this, shouldn't we?"

Lin Muqing was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Ming continued: "Actually, this is what you said, Sister Muqing, that was when I proposed to unite the three major families, you told me that the three major families are all in control of the Brighton consortium, even if they all have conflicts with the Addams family, their identity determines that they cannot be our loyal allies, and it is very likely that they will only use us to achieve his goals." ”

"I did say that, but that's just a point we need to guard against, or since we expected this, we should reason with them after the incident, and we can't let them cross the river and tear down the bridge so easily!" Lin Muqing said.

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we also list them as enemies, and directly add more than 100 investment companies to this lawsuit, and involve all these three major families, so that no one can think about it?" Zhou Ming asked.

"This ......"

Lin Muqing hesitated, he couldn't answer this question, because now they are dealing with one Adams family alone with the help of the three major families, it is already so difficult, not only Tong Gang Li Cheng and Ilbedov are under house arrest, even they have to leave Brighton to live on Rhode Island for more than half a month, and now they have to add the three major families, then I am afraid that they will not be able to stay in the city of Brighton today.

Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing's little hand and put it in his palm and said: "So, my sister Muqing, since they have dared to tell us to cross the river and demolish the bridge so directly, it proves that they must have no fear, and it would be even more unwise for us to clash with them again at this time, then we can only choose to compromise, this is no way." ”

"But Zhou Ming ......"

Lin Muqing wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming asked her first: "Sister Muqing, and at this time, I don't think they are doing anything bad to us crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, just so that we can do what we want to do." ”

"Zhou Ming, are you talking about Ran Ran running away from home?" Lin Muqing asked tentatively, and after getting Zhou Ming's affirmative answer, she was helpless, "How can these two things be compared?"

Lin Muqing is really a little broken, although her cousin ran away from home and went to a strange country, she is also very worried, but if she wants to exchange the results of Zhou Ming's efforts, then Lin Muqing can't agree no matter what, not to mention that Ran Ran has her friends over there who can help her in San Francisco, at least in a short period of time, there is no need to worry, but the meaning of Zhou Ming's side is completely different.

"Of course, this can't be compared, at least in my opinion, money can never be earned, and as long as I'm alive, there will always be a chance to make it again, but there is only one person, isn't it?" Zhou Ming said.

After listening to Zhou Ming's enlightenment, Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming very strangely and asked, "I'm really strange, why do you care so much about Ran Ran's affairs, Zhou Ming?"

This made Zhou Ming's heart beat wildly, and then he snorted: "I don't care very much, it's just that now it's a fact that the three major families have crossed the river and demolished the bridge, I have to find something else to do for myself, I can't take these funds and put them in my hands to get moldy! Besides, Sister Mu Qing, when we went to Hong Kong City for the first time, we were taken care of a lot by Ran Ran in Nanjiang, and now that she has run away from home, we always have to show something!"

Regarding Zhou Ming's explanation, although Lin Muqing did not speak, she still looked at Zhou Ming with suspicion.

About forty minutes later, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing returned to the hotel, and Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov came over to inquire about the situation as soon as possible.

"Little Brother Zhou Ming, why did you come back so soon? It can't be that there is something wrong with the plan, is it still that the Addams family has used some new means, or is there something wrong with these three families?"

The three of them asked in surprise, it was obvious from their expressions that they had guessed something, and then when Zhou Ming told them the facts, they were all so annoyed: "How can this be?

"Although the three major families crossed the river and demolished the bridge, we also got what we wanted, not only will the mortgaged property we have been given will be secured, our business in Brighton will not be affected, and even they will agree to give us an interest-free loan of 10 billion, so I think if we can take advantage of this, we will still make a lot of money. ”

After leaving these words to Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov, Zhou Ming went back to his room.

In the face of Zhou Ming's departure, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov all looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Lin Muqing stood up and said: "Actually, what Zhou Ming said is right, since the three major families crossing the river and demolishing the bridge are already an established fact, instead of dwelling on this, it is better to find a way to make good use of the compensation they give us first." ”

Saying that, Lin Muqing turned his head and glanced at the direction where Zhou Ming left, and said, "I think Zhou Ming may have been hit, but he will definitely cheer up, we have to have confidence in him!"

......

The time soon came to the evening, Zhang Lin came to Zhou Ming's room with the instrument, this is what Zhang Lin must do every day as Zhou Ming's bodyguard, what he is holding in his hand is a complex radio detection device, in addition to detecting the normality of the alarm device in the room, but also whether there are abnormal radio signals and special substances in the room, only when Zhang Lin ensures the absolute safety of the room, he can rest assured that Zhou Ming can sleep here.

After taking a turn in the room, Zhang Lin said to Zhou Ming: "There is nothing abnormal in the room, then I will go out, if there is any situation here, you can press the alarm at any time, and I will be able to arrive immediately." ”

This is also a cliché confession, after saying that, Zhang Lin was about to go out, but Zhou Ming stopped him and asked: "Zhang Lin, do you think I did the right thing today?"

Zhang Lin looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously, and Zhou Ming added: "What I'm talking about is my decision today." ”

Zhang Lin nodded and said, "I know it's about the three major families' decision to cross the river and tear down the bridge and you want to go to San Francisco to find that girl named Tang Ran, to be honest, I can't tell you whether this decision is right or wrong." ”

"Is it because you don't know my relationship with Tang Ran?" Zhou Ming asked.

"That's one thing, but there's also another thing, and it's because in my opinion, there's no right or wrong decision, only priorities and do's and don'ts. Zhang Lin replied.

"I kind of get it, but I don't seem to understand it very well. Zhou Ming said.

Zhang Lin shook his head: "Then I don't know how to explain it." ”

Zhang Lin twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while and said: "Actually, Zhou Ming, it's not a good direction for you to ask me this question, because if it were me, I would think that as long as I want to do it, I will definitely do it, rather than let myself regret it later, I might as well do it directly, I think a man's choice should be spontaneous, as long as he can be worthy of his conscience, he will do it!"

In the end, Zhang Lin looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "Then Zhou Ming, do you think you should go to San Francisco?"

Regarding Zhang Lin's last sudden rhetorical question, Zhou Ming smiled: "I didn't expect Zhang Lin that you started questioning me, so are you the freedom of a soldier king?"

Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "Maybe, but this is more of my own personal experience, when I was in the jungle of Southeast Asia, it was because of my hesitation that I buried my brother's life, that incident is one thing that I can never forget in my life, and it is also something that makes me feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”

Saying that, Zhang Lin lowered his head and shed painful tears, although it was only one drop, but it also surprised Zhou Ming, he never thought that Zhang Lin, the king of soldiers, would have such a history, but this is also in line with his style of valuing love and righteousness. Maybe it was because of this that he became so crazy when his wife was forced to have a miscarriage.

"So you don't want me to repeat your mistakes, do you?" Zhou Ming asked.

Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "I don't know if it's right to persuade you like this, but I think men still have to make their own decisions, even if they make a mistake in the end, it's good to find a way to make up for it, if you regret it when you lose it, it's too late." ”

"But if I make a decision, you're going to come with me to San Francisco, I've heard that the security there isn't very good, and your bodyguard job may be a lot heavier. Zhou Ming said.

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "As long as you are not going to destroy a certain US military base, I think it should be fine." ”

"Okay, I think I've made a decision, a man's decision!" Zhou Ming said.
