Chapter 347: The Last Song
"The movie just now is amazing, those meteorites and outer space creatures are almost right in front of me, as if I can touch them as long as I reach out my hand, and I am obviously only in one room, but I feel like I have traveled tens of thousands of light years, and I can go up and down, it's incredible! But it's a pity that my mother didn't come, if she came, she would definitely be happier!"
Zhou Ming took Julia to walk on the bank avenue of the Itley River, and Julia jumped up and down excitedly saying that they had just come out of the Itley Science Center, and Zhou Ming had just taken her to see a 4D movie.
You know, even after 20 years, there are still many people who think 4D movies are magical, let alone now, many people don't know what 4D movies are, and it naturally feels magical when they look at it, especially a curious little girl like Julia.
"But unfortunately, your mother's physical condition does not allow it for the time being. Zhou Ming said, "But it doesn't matter, anyway, the science center is here and won't move, there will be a chance in the future." ”
Julia nodded heavily, and said in a firm tone: "In the future, when I grow up and make money, I will definitely bring my mother to see it!"
Zhou Ming touched Julia's head and praised her well, Zhou Ming specially took Julia out to play, after all, I just heard Margaret talk about their heavy past, and they always have to take them out to relax, otherwise it is easy to be depressed, but because Margaret is weak and needs to recuperate after just dialysis, Zhou Ming took Julia out alone.
Of course, in addition to letting Julia relax, Zhou Ming himself also needs to digest the information he got today, the patriarch of the Tefu family, Richard, wants to join forces with him to deal with the Big Wood family, and Mayor Martin lets himself save the black race that Itley is being used by, and later due to Martin's intention, Margaret told Zhou Ming that she is the third heir to the Great Wood family.
Originally, each of these things was for people to think about carefully, but now that these three things happen in one day, it is even more necessary to think about it carefully.
However, after these two hours, his mind was still a mess, only knowing that the situation in Eitley was very complicated now, the three major car families wanted to get rid of the control of the Big Wood family, and the black people were involved because of the struggle between the three major car families and the Big Wood family, and they hated to use their three major car families and the Big Wood family to drive away their own real independence.
Originally, in the past few decades, these three forces have been constantly fighting and compromising with each other, and they have reached a point of relative balance, but their sudden addition has obviously broken this rare balance.
Knowing that he should have called Omar from Brighton to help, the future Mr. President, apparently had the political wisdom to use the contradictions between the three forces to achieve his own goals, and more importantly, he was still a black man, who could better communicate with the black community and build trust with each other.
Zhou Ming said with a smile in his heart, but Zhou Ming also understood that this was just a thought, and now that he was here, there was a way to solve it. And it's only been two days, and I have so much information, so what if it's a few more days?
It was already afternoon when Zhou Ming and Julia came out, and now it was evening, Zhou Ming took Julia to dinner, and they finally chose a high-end French restaurant with an elegant environment, but they didn't finish eating here, because the little girl thought about her mother who was still at home, so they ordered some dishes that nourished the kidneys or were not so burdensome to the kidneys, and then packed them and took them back.
Originally, this was a very warm and normal thing, but when they returned to the villa, everything was wrong, because the villa was already on fire.
The little girl Julia was stunned, the steak bar in her hand fell to the ground, and she muttered, "How can this be?"
But then the muttering in her mouth turned into a cry: "Mom, my mom is still in the house, I'm going to get her out!"
The little girl cried and was about to run towards the room, but was stopped by Zhou Ming, the little girl turned back to Zhou Ming and said: "Brother Zhou Ming, I beg you to save my mother, she must still be in the house, otherwise she will definitely come to me, I can't live without my mother, Brother Zhou Ming, I beg you to save her, I will be your slave in the future to listen to all your orders and let me do whatever I do, I will definitely repay you!"
Saying that, the little girl knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming helped her and said to her: "It's useless, there is a strong smell of gasoline near your house, there must be a lot of gasoline poured near your home, such a fire, whoever enters it will be burned immediately, we can only wait for the fire brigade to come, I have already helped you call the police." ”
The little girl raised her head, looked at Zhou Ming with teary eyes and said, "But my mother is still inside, she is still inside, can she wait for the fire brigade to come?"
"She can, she can!" Zhou Ming encouraged her, "Have you forgotten? At the beginning, your mother had no money for uremia treatment, and even her credit card was overdrawn, and your house couldn't be saved, didn't God send me over to help you? So now that I'm an angel here, there will definitely be more miracles happening, and your mother is so smart that she must know how to protect herself, and wait for the fire brigade!"
Although Zhou Ming had already said so, the little girl still couldn't calm down completely, she looked at the raging flames in her house, and could only keep sobbing and said: "Mom, you must survive, you will definitely survive, but a good home...... Why is it on fire?"
Zhou Ming had no way to answer the little girl's questions, so he could only hold her from a distance and watch, waiting for the arrival of the fire brigade.
That's all Zhou Ming can do, but there is always no shortage of bastards in this world, so at this time, a very annoying voice suddenly sounded: "Yo yo, why is there a fire here?"
Zhou Ming was no stranger to this voice, he turned his head and said, "Wood, I didn't expect you guy to come back too." ”
The person beside him was Wood, the current first heir of the Great Wood family, and he looked at Zhou Ming and said, "My family is in Yatley, why can't I come back?" ”
Wood said and sighed deliberately: "It's just that Mr. Zhou Ming should probably be called Mr. Disaster would be more appropriate, otherwise why would there be a fire here? If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Zhou Ming should live here, right?"
When Wood said this, he deliberately stepped forward to Zhou Ming and whispered: "It's just that now Mr. Zhou Ming, you are not burned to death in the house, what a pity!"
The little girl Julia reacted immediately when she heard his words: "You set this fire, right? You murderer, go and save my mother, I will call the police to arrest you bastard!"
The little girl shouted loudly, and raised her little pink fist to hit Wood, but Wood was not a good stubble, so he shook off the little girl's hand casually, and stretched out his hand to hit her: "Where did this little bitch come from, I'll beat you to death here!"
Of course, Wood's slap did not hit the little girl, but was stopped by Zhou Ming, who grabbed his hand and said to him: "Mr. Wood, it is very ungentlemanly to bully a thirteen-year-old girl. ”
Wood squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhou Ming with disdain, and said, "Then according to Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you mean is that I will throw you into the fire over there and burn you to death, so I can be regarded as a gentleman, right?"
With Wood's words, several strong bodyguards surrounded him in an instant, but at this time, Zhang Lin's reaction was faster, he pulled out the pistol on his waist, and quickly circled Wood's back and pressed it on his waist.
Zhang Lin's actions were completed in one go, so that Wood was an agitated spirit at that time, shouting to let his bodyguards not move, and at the same time turned back to Zhou Ming and said: "The action is quite skilled, it seems that your people have not done this kind of hijacking and murder business?
Zhou Ming smiled, of course he could see that Wood was just bluffing, in fact, he was afraid of death at the moment.
"If I were you, I would never say that, because it would only make you look useless!" Zhou Ming continued, "and...... Even if you're a bastard, I don't plan to trade you for a scumbag, I think that's too unworthy for me. ”
Zhou Ming's words made Wood very angry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, who do you think you are?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know you're the one who started this fire. Zhou Ming said.
Wood was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed: "What do you say? I'm a criminal, do you know that your words carry a serious slander against me? I can go to court to sue you, this fire was obviously caused by two black gangs, how can it be counted on my head? There are so many eyewitnesses here. ”
"You're really a bastard!" Zhou Ming said, "Do you know that the person in that villa is named Margaret Wood, and she is your aunt?"
"What a joke!" said Wood, "my aunt had died in the Itley riot thirteen years ago, and where was there any aunt? ”
Wood then said, "Oh yes, I forgot to remind you, this family hasn't paid the fire bill for two years, so the fire brigade will refuse to rescue them even if they come, so if there is someone inside, she will die!"
Looking at the extremely hideous smile on Wood's face, Zhou Ming scolded: "You are really a wolf-hearted bastard!"
At this time, behind Zhou Ming, the little girl suddenly looked in the direction of the villa: "It's Mom, it's her talking to me, she's still alive, she's still in the house!"
Zhou Ming immediately turned around and looked along the little girl's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Margaret standing by the window looking here, in the flames, it seemed that she could still see her smiling, she was saying to the little girl: "Julia, you have to be brave and don't cry, in fact, I should have died a long time ago, it was God who let me stay in this world for another thirteen years before I could see your growth." ”
"Julia, don't you cry, remember the song we sang together when we were kids?" Margaret then sang, "Julia is a strong girl, nothing can be defeated, don't cry, cowardice is the temptation of the devil, mother will always be by your side, no matter rain or snow or fire, nothing can stop it, mother will make Julia the most beautiful princess......"
The little girl Julia stared blankly at the burning villa, and muttered along with her mother's last song, singing the ballad together, and tears fell from her eyes as if she had burst the embankment.
