Chapter 161: Tang Ran is in the Financial Building
"Great! It seems that Ran Ran pinned all her hopes on you, and regarded you as her biggest savior, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really a very powerful person, I just said one name, and you will find Ran Ran immediately, this is a thousand times more powerful than any detective!" Xiao Xue said very excitedly, she looked at Zhou Ming's eyes bright, as if she could see stars emerging from her eyes.
Obviously, Xiao Xue's demeanor or her words show that she admires Zhou Ming very much, but it's no wonder, after all, when she got up in the morning and found that Tang Ran was missing, she was in a hurry, and the police didn't believe it;
However, for Zhou Ming, this is a coincidence that makes him helpless, because he just heard the name Hoover a little familiar, and he just made this call as a dead horse doctor, who knows that the rogue Hoover he Xiaoxue said is the president Hoover he knows? If you just rely on Xiaoxue's description, you can't imagine that this Hoover is the other Hoover!
It's a good thing to find it, but at the same time, it's not a good thing, it's a good thing to have a very direct clue, just now on the phone, Hoover has admitted that Tang Ran was taken away by him, but it is not a kidnapping, and said that if Zhou Ming needs him, he can also arrange to meet him.
But at the same time, Hoover also said that he had a very important matter to take Tang Ran away, as for what it was, as long as Zhou Ming went to him, he could see Tang Ran, and he could also know what was going on, and he couldn't make it clear on the phone.
Hoover said this, he can't help but make Zhou Ming think more, after all, Zhou Ming will not be as simple as Xiaoxue, he will not think that Hoover is a gang member, and he took Tang Ran away because he coveted her beauty, as the president of the Brighton branch of Tang Bank, he is a person who may enter the bank's board of directors in the future, it can be said that the future is immeasurable, and it is impossible to do such a thing in San Francisco, where the headquarters is located.
But if it weren't for this reason, Zhou Ming would have no idea why he would take Tang Ran away.
This question made Zhou Ming feel very confused, and then Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, now that we know where Ran Ran is, let's go find her quickly." ”
Zhou Ming nodded silently, he thought to himself: Now when he doesn't understand anything, he can only take one step at a time like this.
Zhou Ming then looked at Xiaoxue and said, "I'll go find her right away, but Xiaoxue, you have to go home first." ”
"What are you going to do when you go home, do you call the police to arrest that Hoover?" asked.
Zhou Ming shook his head a little crying and laughing: "Of course not, it's just that you go back, you should go to work, you should go to sleep, don't let this matter affect your normal life, and I will solve the matter alone." ”
Xiaoxue wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming said to her in front of her: "I know you are also very concerned about Ran Ran, I thank you very much for this, I believe that Ran Ran will be very moved when she knows, but this matter may not be as simple as you think, first of all, we can't call the police, we can only rely on ourselves to solve it little by little, and you can't help in the past, so you better go back and wait for the news first......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming thought for a moment and then asked: "Xiaoxue, do you know why Ran Ran is so likeable? It's because she is very sensible and knows what to do when and when to do." ”
Xiaoxue nodded suddenly: "I understand, I'll go back now, I won't trouble you, but Mr. Zhou Ming, if you have anything you want me to help with, you must inform me! I will definitely help if I do my best, who let Ran Ran do this thing to my fault!"
Zhou Ming wanted to say that it had nothing to do with her, but in order to avoid extraneous complications, Zhou Ming just nodded and said yes in the end.
After sending off Xiaoxue, Zhou Ming and his bodyguard Zhang Lin took a taxi to the very famous Montgomery Street in San Francisco, which is the financial district of San Francisco, with the headquarters of 40 banks, the business halls of more than 100 banks, and countless insurance companies and other investment companies here, making Montgomery Street also known as Wall Street in the West.
On this famous West Wall Street, there are also two landmarks, one is the Pan American Pyramid and the other is the Chinabank Building.
The Panamericana Pyramid is famous for its breathtaking postmodernist architecture, while the Donny Bank Tower is ordinary in height and design, and his fame comes only from the bank itself.
Today's destination for Zhou Ming is the Tang Bank Building, Zhou Ming got out of the car and looked up at the entire financial building, if Zhou Ming was still suspicious before, now he is completely convinced that Hoover did not kidnap Tang Ran, because if he is really kidnapped, at least he should choose a secluded place, right? Why can't it be placed in the most prosperous financial building in the financial district?
The most dangerous place is the safest place, and this is for special circumstances, if Hoover really kidnapped people to the Chinabank building, I am afraid that someone will call the police that day.
But if it wasn't kidnapping, then why did Hoover look for Tang Ran?
This question made Zhou Ming more and more incomprehensible, and it seemed that this mystery could only be solved when he met Hoover and Tang Ran.
Zhou Ming thought so, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, the first time the call was not answered, Zhou Ming felt strange and dialed again, this time Zhou Ming dialed out, and immediately someone came over and asked him: "Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Ming?"
Zhou Ming nodded yes, and the man said, "Mr. Hoover has been waiting for a long time, please follow me upstairs." ”
Following this person, Zhou Ming entered the Tang Bank Building, he took Zhou Ming to the door of an office on the 30th floor, he knocked on the door first and went in to report, and then went out to tell Zhou Ming that he could go in, and after getting permission, Zhou Ming entered the office.
This is a very large office, as far as the eye can see, the size of a basketball court, divided into several rooms by several glass partitions, Zhou Ming bypassed the partition and walked into the office inside, and sure enough, he saw Hoover sitting in the boss's chair.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, I really didn't expect you to come to San Francisco, but it would be too interesting for you to come to San Francisco without contacting me in advance. ”
Hoover came up and gave Zhou Ming a warm hug, and pretended to be angry and blamed Zhou Ming for not telling him in advance, but Zhou Ming smiled and said: "I'm sorry President Hu, but I didn't expect us to meet in such a situation, I didn't even expect you to be in San Francisco, I thought you were still in Brighton! No way, who made you the branch president of Brighton? If it weren't for Tang Ran's matter." ”
Before the words, Hoover still faced it with a smile, and it wasn't until Zhou Ming said Tang Ran's name that Hoover frowned.
Hoover first asked the person who had brought Zhou Ming up just now to go out, and then he glanced at Zhang Lin again, and looked at Zhou Ming with some inquiry.
Of course, Zhou Ming understood what he meant, so he explained to him: "This is my personal bodyguard, I trust him very much, and I don't have to hide my affairs from him." ”
Hoover wanted to say something, but then he shook his head and gave up, he took Zhou Ming to sit on the sofa next to him, and then asked: "Please forgive me, I don't know where you are from, and who told you the name Tang Ran, but I hope you don't ask as much as possible, so as not to be involved." ”
Zhou Ming's expression moved slightly: "What's the matter?"
"It's very complicated, not as complicated as ordinary people can imagine!" Hoover replied very seriously, and then he said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, I will only tell you this because of our relationship, if it is someone else, I will just let him get out of here without any explanation." ”
Zhou Ming suddenly laughed, and he said to Hoover: "But it's a pity, I'm such a fucked person, I still need to understand, or if Hoover you don't have it convenient to say, you can also take me to meet her, I'll ask her face to face." ”
Hoover frowned, and reminded in a very unhappy tone: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I only told you this because I took you as a friend, and I hope you can also respect me appropriately." ”
Zhou Ming's smile remained unchanged: "I think Governor Hu, you may have misunderstood something, I don't mean to disrespect you or make fun of you when I say this, but there are some things I have to know." ”
"Why? I don't think this has anything to do with you. Hoover said.
"Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with me. Zhou Ming then changed his casual words and continued, "It's just that Tang Ran called me on the pager a few days ago and said that he wanted me to come over to save her, may I ask Mr. Hoover, is this reason enough?"
Zhou Ming's tone was sonorous and powerful, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Hoover, especially the question Zhou Ming asked at the last word, which made Hoover feel that at that moment, the air around him suddenly froze, making him almost suffocate. Of course, Zhou Ming didn't come over today to put pressure on Hoover, and he diluted his momentum after speaking.
Hoover breathed a sigh of relief, just now at that moment, Hoover experienced for the first time what it means to be a real pins and needles, he didn't understand how a young man could have such momentum, but he definitely didn't want to experience it a second time.
So Hoover said to Zhou Ming: "Of course it is enough, I can also arrange for you to meet her, Mr. Zhou Ming, but there are two things that I think it is necessary to tell you in advance." ”
Zhou Ming's hand nodded: "Say." ”
"The first thing is that Tang Ran can't leave this Tang Dynasty Bank Building!" Hoover then said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, don't ask me why, I can't tell you if I ask, but what I can tell you is that the involvement behind this is very big!"
Hoover said: "The second thing is that I want to remind you, Mr. Zhou Ming, that many things are very complicated, and even Miss Tang Ran herself doesn't know, so even if you meet her, you may not be able to understand anything." ”
Zhou Ming nodded silently and said, "I think I understand, if Mr. Hoover doesn't have a third thing to say, please take the trouble to arrange for me to meet Tang Ran." ”
Hoover said that he was willing to serve you, then he stood up and went to his desk to make a call, and when he hung up the phone, he said to Zhou Ming, "I think I can take you over now." ”
Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, and then followed Hoover out of his office, they took a special elevator all the way up to the forty-third floor, Hoover took Zhou Ming to a room inside that did not close the door, the room seemed to be divided into inside and outside, the outer room was a living room, there were two dark-skinned, strong-looking Chinese women sitting on the sofa, according to Hoover, they were here to take care of and protect Tang Ran.
Seeing Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin coming in, the two bodyguards subconsciously stood up, obviously Zhang Lin made them feel something, and they didn't let go until Hoover's explanation, but they still looked at Zhang Lin vigilantly.
Tang Ran was in the room inside, and Zhou Ming didn't bother to care about the vigilance of the two female bodyguards, he followed Hoover and knocked directly on the door and entered the inner room, and Zhou Ming finally saw Tang Ran.
