Chapter 126: Siege and Interception
Zhou Ming sat in the car, he looked at the regressing scenery outside the window in a daze, and didn't say a word.
At this time, Zhou Ming had been away from Governor Edward's vacation villa for a while, but Zhou Ming was still thinking about what Edward had just said in the villa. In fact, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think about it, after all, those words were too curious, especially the outside world...... What would it be? Could it be where the Addams family really lived?
Zhou Ming didn't know, he couldn't even guess, he could only make a very vague judgment based on what Edward said.
Suddenly, Zhou Ming's mobile phone rang, which made Zhou Ming come back to his senses, because Zhou Ming was going to enter Governor Edward's villa before, in order to avoid those electronic detection devices, Zhou Ming put his mobile phone in the car and did not turn it on mute.
Zhou Ming picked up the mobile phone and connected, it was Lin Muqing who called, she was very surprised when she heard Zhou Ming answer the phone: "Zhou Ming, have you come out of Governor Edward? How did you talk to him? Did his Kendini family and the other two major families have any special purpose? Do they really want to help Zhou Ming, and now that the subprime mortgage crisis is not working, do they have any other way?"
Faced with Lin Muqing's inquiries one after another, Zhou Ming just asked rhetorically: "Sister Muqing, do you know what the outside world is?"
Lin Muqing was blinded by Zhou Ming's sudden question: "What is the outside world, why did Zhou Ming suddenly ask such a strange question?"
"Because Governor Edward told me just now that the answer I wanted was there, and it was also the change in the outside world that made them change their attitude and do their best to deal with the Addams family. Zhou Ming said, "I came out of China, so I don't know anything about the outside world, but I think Tong Gang and Li Cheng may know." ”
After getting Zhou Ming's answer, Lin Muqing suddenly realized, she thought about it carefully and then replied: "I do have a little impression, once when we talked about investing in the shares of a mining company in South America, he told me about the outside world. ”
"At that time, he just mentioned it casually, and I also listened to it casually, and I can't remember the specific things, I just remember that it was another world like Xanadu, but unlike Xanadu, only the most powerful people in the world can know and live there. Lin Muqing said, "Because it is outside the world of ordinary people, it is called the outside world." ”
"I see," Zhou Ming muttered to himself, "It seems that my guess is not wrong, the Addams family is the family of the outside world, and the three families of Kendini Lawrence and Lowell also got the news of the outside world, so they made up their minds to press the Addams family at this time." ”
Although Zhou Ming didn't say it very loudly, Lin Muqing still heard it, and she said to Zhou Ming: "I don't think it's impossible, otherwise many of their practices don't make sense at all, and they are too enthusiastic." ”
In the end, Lin Muqing thought of another question, and she immediately asked: "But Zhou Ming, now that the minorities in the Vinda community are unwilling to help us, and the subprime loan market has not yet collapsed no matter how it is calculated, what should we do? If we can't think of any other way, I'm afraid the three families of Kendini Lawrence and Lowell won't necessarily help us so much." ”
"This is the other problem that I have the most headache for me besides the outside world. "My idea is that since the Vida community can't work, I'll stay here in Brighton for a while and try other community ......."
Before Zhou Ming said this, Lin Muqing immediately interrupted him and said: "No! Zhou Ming, you can't stay in Brighton anymore, have you forgotten that the Addams family already knows that you are in Brighton and has already sent someone to look for you? In the Vida community, you almost can't leave, do you know that my heart is going to stop when I hear the news? I don't want to hear it again!"
"And," Lin continued, "there is still Omar in the community to help you, he is there to act as a councillor and has a high level of influence, but he still can't help it, so there are still no such good councillors in other communities to help you, how can you convince those minorities?"
Speaking of this, Lin Muqing paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Zhou Ming, I'm not saying that you don't have the ability to convince people, it's just that Zhou Ming, you don't know those minorities, and you don't have time to slowly contact them, if you want to persuade them to file for personal bankruptcy at the first meeting, and take the risk that your property will be mortgaged and auctioned, no one will agree, so don't take the risk." ”
Lin Muqing's words were full of concern, which reminded Zhou Ming of his previous life, every time after the Spring Festival, when he had to go out to work, his parents were always reluctant to send him to the train station.
Zhou Ming knew that even if he entered the station, his parents still looked at the entrance of the station, as if they could see themselves through the glass of the train station, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time. I have also watched them through the glass of the train station, maybe there are a lot of people at the gate of the train station, but I always look at their figures so lonely, as if my departure has taken away all their company.
Zhou Ming also knew that his parents wanted him to stay and find a stable job at home, instead of the family only seeing each other for a week every year, his parents' care for him at that time was the same as Lin Muqing's concern for him now, but at that time, he never fulfilled his parents' wishes.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming replied to Lin Muqing: "Of course, if Sister Muqing is really so worried, I will promise you that I will go back to Rhode Island today." ”
"Really, Zhou Ming, did you really promise me to come back? You are really the best man in the world," Lin Muqing said, "Then I will wait for you in Rhode Island, and when you come back, you can do whatever you want." ”
Originally, Lin Muqing's previous words only made Zhou Ming very happy, but with Lin Muqing's extremely shy words in the end, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think of those blood-boiling things and postures, or maybe uniforms.
Hung up Lin Muqing's phone, Zhou Ming said to Zhang Lin to go back to Rhode Island, in fact, even if Zhou Ming didn't say so, Zhang Lin heard Zhou Ming's call just now, so he immediately drove the car in the direction of the intercontinental highway. However, at the fork in the road that was about to enter the interstate, Zhang Lin stopped the car again, because there were already many people with signs and tattoos on the fork in the road in front of him, who looked very similar to those he had met in the Vinda community.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get by. Zhang Lin said to Zhou Ming.
"Can't we just rush over there? I don't think they even have guns, and those baseball bats and hammers shouldn't be able to stop us." Zhou Ming asked tentatively.
Zhang Lin shook his head and replied: "They have made preparations, Mr. Zhou Ming, you see that there are barricades on the ground over there, although our car is bulletproof, but the hardness of the tires is still limited, I don't think it will be a good idea to rush over directly." ”
Zhou Ming followed Zhang Lin's words and looked to the opposite side, and sure enough, he saw a barricade on the road in front of those people, with many sharp road spikes on it, because the color of the road spur barricade was about the same as the color of the road, so at the distance Zhou Ming and them, it was really not easy to find if they didn't pay attention. There seemed to be a few cars parked behind the crowd on the other side that had been punctured by the stroke.
"Is this the only way to get on the intercontinental highway at this time?" Zhou Ming asked.
Zhang Lin shook his head and said, "No, but I think with the power of the Addams family, I'm afraid that other key intersections must have been set up with roadblocks." ”
"These guys, I didn't expect that for the sake of my Addams family, they would be willing to spend money to chase and intercept me like this. Zhou Ming said with a smile, "Then Zhang Lin, let's go back to Brighton first, find a random motel to stay in for a day, and take other roads to get on the interstate highway from other places at night." ”
"Mr. Zhou Ming, do you mean to take a small road out of the city, and then go directly from the wild to the next city to get on the intercontinental highway when you go to a desolate place?" Zhang Lin said.
Zhou Ming nodded yes, and then there was a sudden explosion, Zhou Ming saw a bullet mark on the glass in front of him, and then looked at the people opposite, although he was still a considerable distance from the intersection, but his behavior of stopping here all the time aroused their suspicions, maybe they knew what their car looked like, and after confirming that it might be the target, they shot directly.
"These people are so hot-tempered, the police don't care? I used to only know that the underworld in the casino was rampant, but now it seems that Brighton, the city with the highest level of education, is about the same!"
Zhou Ming smiled and said to Zhang Lin: "Since they don't welcome us, let's go first, so as not to be entangled by them." ”
Just when Zhou Ming was talking, Zhang Lin had already taken action, he quickly stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car to turn around quickly, I can't help but say that Zhang Lin's driving skills are very good, when he has gone away, he has just moved away from the roadblock.
Zhang Lin drove the car fast on the road, slowed down after making sure that no one was following behind, and finally came to a remote and empty small motel.
This is where Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin have been staying in Brighton, it is a very special hotel that Zhang Lin has inquired about a long time ago, the owner here never asks customers about anything, and even whether the customer is wanted or not, there is a kind of bounty hunter tavern posture in American Westerns, so it is very suitable for them to stay for one night at this special time.
As soon as I walked into the hotel, I heard a hearty voice: "Hey, the amazing Chinese hero, welcome to you again!"
It was the owner of the hotel who spoke, he was a middle-aged man with a beard, a figure of one meter nine, and about fifty years old, he saw Zhang Lin come in and immediately got up from the chair, and greeted Zhang Lin warmly: "As long as you are here, I am not afraid of any eyeless little mongrels making trouble here, especially those brown-skinned Mexicans, you know that those addicts are very headaches." ”
Then he turned his gaze to Zhou Ming, and his tone became more respectful: "This is your more mysterious Oriental boss, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will definitely keep it secret for you!"
"Thank you very much, but I'm sure you can solve anything without us, boss. ”
Zhou Ming smiled and thanked him, in fact, this boss would be so enthusiastic, all because Zhang Lin was here before, relying on his absolute force value and strategy to help him solve the troubles of several groups of Mexican drug dealers, which opened his eyes.
As for himself, Zhou Ming knew that he was stained with Zhang Lin's light, because he had already seen Zhang Lin's ability, when he knew that Zhang Lin, who was so powerful, but only his bodyguard, he couldn't help but see himself as more mysterious, and at the same time his attitude was more respectful, but in fact, if he really wanted to fight, he couldn't do three tricks in Zhang Lin's hands no matter what, but there was no need for Zhou Ming to explain to him.
Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin went upstairs, but they had just sat down in the hotel room when Zhou Ming's phone rang, it was Omar calling.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, can you come to the Vida community now? Those minorities have agreed to your proposal to file for personal bankruptcy!" Omar said excitedly.
