"This is South Brighton, the most important area in Brighton, not only the seat of the city government, the state government and the parliament, but also the central area of the north-east recognized by the federal government, where the World Trade Center and the Convention Centre are located, where important financial institutions such as Brighton Bank and North East Bank are also located, and this is completely the most important political and economic center of Brighton. ”

On a bustling street in South Brighton, an American woman points to the surrounding buildings and tells her children.

"This is a poor man's nightmare, a rich man's paradise, do you see that garden-like place under the parliament hill over there? There is a garden restaurant, a very luxurious restaurant, and it is also the magician's pocket, because he will steal your money, and your father's salary for half a year is probably only enough to go once, only those super-rich and incredible big people can go here, they don't care about being stolen by magicians, they only care about the enjoyment of their own food, even the police dare not come here to arrest them openly, it is a paradise of freedom!"

The American woman bowed her head to her children and said, "So you have to study hard in the future, and then earn a lot of money, and bring me and my dad here for dinner, okay?"

His four-year-old child nodded vigorously, which pleased the American woman, and she went on to teach the child: "If you have to work hard, then don't play with those yellow-skinned people who write square words in the future, those guys from Eastern China are poor ghosts, and they can only pick up garbage all their lives, and they will steal your money while you are unprepared, so that you will never be able to fulfill your desire to come here to eat." ”

The child looked up at his mother as if he didn't understand, and then the child pointed to the garden restaurant and asked, "Mom, you see that there are cars coming, are they also here to eat?" Are they the rich people you said mom? But they look very similar to my yellow-skinned classmates, not like poor ghosts who have been picking up garbage all their lives, and they are more like poor ghosts than us. ”

The American woman looked in the direction the child was pointing, dumbfounded, because he saw a minibus stop in front of the garden restaurant she had just touted, and then a group of yellow-skinned Chinese stepped out of the car.

"No," the American woman screamed, "they certainly didn't come to eat, they came to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, it must be so, they are the poor ghosts!"

Then the truth hit the American mother in the face again, because the waiter at the garden restaurant very kindly invited those Chinese in, and if these Chinese were also waiters, there was no reason to be courteous.

The American woman didn't know what to say, she muttered: "Impossible, this must be a dream, the Chinese are a bunch of selfish poor ghosts, they will never come to such a luxurious place to eat in their lifetime, but why is this happening now? Who are these Chinese?"

Of course, these people who can come to the garden restaurant to eat are the students of Zhou Ming and the finance class.

With the investment of Deep Blue Airlines, the assets of Wharton Insurance Company have soared to 100 million US dollars, as a billionaire, Zhou Ming invites the students out for a meal, even if this place is one of the most luxurious restaurants in Brighton, after all, no matter how expensive the restaurant is, there is a limit, it is impossible to eat a billionaire in one meal, right? If this is the case, then this restaurant is afraid that it will not be able to open.

Zhou Ming walked at the front of the line, lawyer Allen was beside him, he didn't know that he had inadvertently slapped an American friend in the face, he just took his classmates in the finance class to follow the waiter's guidance to the park at the foot of Parliament Hill.

It is a very open garden, in the middle of which is an open-air restaurant, surrounded by eight flower beds, a meadow with swings and benches, and a promenade with many evergreen vines climbing on the top, in short, very Western courtyard character, which is very refreshing.

Zhou Ming, Allen and the classmates of the finance class all sat down in their seats, and Allen looked around for a week and said with emotion: "This garden restaurant is a very luxurious restaurant as far as I know, and I have only heard of it before, but I can't bear to spend so much money if I want to eat it once, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to follow Mr. Zhou Ming to open my eyes today." ”

Zhou Ming waved his hand meaninglessly and said: "This money is actually nothing, if it weren't for the legal support you provided to me, lawyer Allen, the money I would have lost would be far more than this meal." ”

Zhou Ming is telling the truth, in this wrestling with Old Brooke, Allen, the legal counsel, is very crucial, after all, the law in the United States is supreme, and at the same time, there are many different laws in the federal and various states, as long as it does not violate the spirit of the Constitution;

For ordinary people, this may be just a financial plan, but in fact, there are many legal issues involved. As a capitalist country, the United States has suffered greatly from the economic crisis in the past, and it is very strict about insider trading, so if there is no lawyer to guide the maze, it is easy to cause the opponent to be arrested by the FBI before he has encountered it.

It can be said that it is with Allen's legal support that Zhou Ming can plan such a perfect plan, and it can be said that Allen is the first hero.

As for confidentiality, Zhou Ming is not worried about this, because American lawyers are self-discipline is their life, once a lawyer leaks the client's information, whether it is out of justice or something else, he will lose trust forever, and a lawyer who is not trusted will not have any more clients, no client will have no income, this will be the most fatal blow to them, so no one will leak secrets.

"Thank you very much Mr. Zhou Ming for your trust in me, but this is my duty, you paid my lawyer's fees, and these are the services I should provide to you. Allen said.

"I know, but this is what you Americans think, but in the eyes of us Chinese, your loyalty to customers is the most praiseworthy!"

Zhou Ming raised his glass as he spoke, and the other students in the finance class also raised their glasses together, and Zhou Ming then said to Allen: "In this financial war, Allen lawyer used his professionalism to avoid a lot of risks for us, let us thank him in a Chinese way, and we will toast Allen lawyer together." ”

After saying that, Zhou Ming and everyone in the finance class raised a glass to Allen together, and Allen also hurriedly stood up to salute Zhou Ming and other finance class classmates.

"The Chinese are so welcoming, and for the first time after I have fulfilled my duties, I can still receive such hospitality, which makes my heart feel like there is a furnace burning!" Allen said with emotion.

"When friends come, there is good wine, and when enemies come, there are shotguns, and this is how we Chinese behave. Zhou Ming said.

"There's a clear distinction between good and evil, and that's much warmer than those damn cold laws. Alan said again.

Then Zhou Ming and Allen sat down together, and Allen said to Zhou Ming: "Since Mr. Zhou Ming is so enthusiastic, then I must not take revenge, I must be worthy of your enthusiasm, there is a situation I think I have to tell you, that is, about Old Brooke, his identity is a senior senator in Massachusetts, so he is very likely to be pardoned by the Massachusetts Assembly." ”

"Pardon?" Zhou Ming muttered the word in his mouth.

"That's right, it's forgiveness. Allen explained, "Under U.S. law, senators are exempt from arrest and prosecution, and under Massachusetts law, although state senators do not have direct immunity, once any senator is arrested, the state legislature can meet on an ad hoc basis to discuss whether to grant a pardon for crimes." ”

"And Mr. Brooke is a senior member of the Massachusetts Council, he has been in the state legislature for more than ten years, and all aspects of the relationship have been opened, will the council definitely pardon him?" Zhou Ming took Allen's words and asked.

Alan nodded and said, "That's right, and as far as I know, Speaker Anthony and Brooke in Massachusetts are still very good friends." ”

"It's all the more certain he's going to be released. Zhou Ming sighed with emotion, "What a fucking law!"

Alan spread his hands and said: "Although I am reluctant, I still have to explain that the law is arranged in this way to avoid parliamentarians being forced by the power of those in power when discussing politics and making laws. ”

"Well, who made this a country of democracy and freedom?"

Zhou Ming teased casually, and at this time, his bodyguard Zhang Lin suddenly leaned sideways to Zhou Ming's ear and said a few words, Zhou Ming sighed and said, "But Lawyer Allen, I'm afraid it's too late for you to think about it now." ”

Alan looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously, not understanding what Zhou Ming meant, Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and pointed outside and said: "My friend told me that someone outside is spying on us, if nothing else, this must be related to Mr. Brooke's acquittal, so I want to know what other power this senior senator has? Can he mobilize violent organs?"

Alan was very surprised, he looked around for a moment before answering Zhou Ming's question: "The senator himself does not have any power, which has nothing to do with whether he is senior or not, but there are many committees in the parliament, and these committees have great powers, if he really mobilized the judicial department, it is very likely that he used the parliament's investigative powers, and he can file a case for investigation of anything." ”

Zhou Ming nodded silently: "Then it seems that this is the case, do you say that if I find a way to run away today and then sue the parliament?"

"Generally speaking, prosecutions are only against certain lawbreakers, and there have never been cases of direct prosecution against Parliament, at least not to the best of my knowledge, because it is pointless. ”

Allen's words came to an abrupt end at this point, because he suddenly thought of another thing: "Mr. Zhou Ming, aren't you going to resist arrest today? This is absolutely unacceptable, resisting arrest is a very serious crime in the United States, and the police even have the right to directly shoot the target." ”

"So I have to tie my hands and catch one way today?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

"Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the only way to go. Allen said.

Zhou Ming wanted to say something, but at this time, the waiter walked into the garden with seven or eight people wearing windbreakers and suits, and the one led by him walked straight to Zhou Ming, took the initiative to show his ID and said: "Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, I am Mueller, the deputy director of the Massachusetts Branch of the FBI, you are suspected of being related to an economic case, please cooperate with us." ”
