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

"I think it is still necessary for you to listen to what Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov said just now, Zhou Ming, after all, you rescued them, with this matter, the relationship between you and them is no longer a pure interest relationship, and they are really thinking about you and the current situation. ”

Lin Muqing said to Zhou Ming: "Even Zhou Ming said that after you filed a lawsuit against the forty-five investment companies and claimed 100 billion yuan, the whole chess game is about to enter the closing stage, but as far as I know, the closing stage is also very important, because if this last official is not closed, then the previous series of layouts and other efforts will be in vain, is this what you want to see?"

"And," Lin Muqing continued, "our alliance with the three major families is not so strong, the three of them and the Addams family have been in charge of the Brighton consortium for two hundred years, what storms have not been seen in such a long time? ”

"Now Zhou Ming, if you help them wrest power from the Addams family, they will support you wholeheartedly, but once the situation is clear, will they still support you like that? Or will they try their best to take the situation into their own hands?" Lin Muqing said.

Zhou Ming knew that the rhetorical questions that Lin Muqing was talking about now were what Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov had said when they were in the hotel just now, Zhou Ming didn't know that this was their heartfelt words, nor did he not think of the current situation. Even Zhou Ming's reason kept reminding him that it would definitely be a stupid thing to give up here to help Lin Muqing's aunt and uncle find Tang Ran, but faintly Zhou Ming always felt that there was a voice telling him that he should do this thing, for Tang Ran, for Lin Muqing, and for himself as a man.

However, Zhou Ming had no way to explain these words to Lin Muqing, he could only retreat and say: "Sister Muqing, I understand what you said, and I am not a person who ignores the overall situation, but for now we still have to go to Edward, listen to what Mr. Governor is looking for me, and talk about other things when we go back, maybe Mr. Governor will give me some new tasks that I can't get out of." ”

"That's all there is to it. Lin Muqing sighed helplessly, but her next words scared Zhou Ming into a cold sweat, Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously and said, "I really don't know why Zhou Ming is so persistent in going to Ran Ran, even my cousin is not as nervous as you, as if she is your girlfriend, it's too strange." ”

"Maybe when I find her, she'll be grateful and marry me. Zhou Ming said with a haha, in exchange for Lin Muqing's angry eyes.

Seeing that Lin Muqing didn't continue to entangle, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ming took the car and continued to drive in the direction of Harvard University, this is Governor Edward's arrangement, just now when the hotel, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing and Tong Gang Li Cheng Ilbedov chatted, suddenly received a call from Edward, he said that there was something important to discuss with Zhou Ming, about the prosecution, so he asked him to go to Harvard University as soon as possible to meet, he will be there today because of the itinerary.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ming's car arrived at Harvard, and drove directly into a quiet church in the north courtyard of Harvard, which was arranged by Edward, saying that he would worship here and discuss things together by the way.

Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing walked into the church through the inspection at the door, the inside was very clean, the Catholic choir was singing on the stage, only Governor Edward, Harvard President Lawrence, and Louie, the patriarch of the Lowell family, sat down in the back seat, their hands folded as if in prayer.

Zhou Ming had never been to the church, but he had also watched a lot of foreign movies, so he didn't speak, just walked over silently and finally sat down next to Edward.

After a long while, Edward opened his eyes, he turned to look at Zhou Ming and asked, "Don't you pray?"

"As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like it's a Sunday, and our beliefs may not be the same. Zhou Ming replied.

"Then you should be glad that it was not 400 years ago, otherwise you would be a heretic to whom the Church is hostile and will be burned at the stake. Louis joked.

"It's worthy of the royal family of the French Empire in the past, and it seems that you have done this kind of thing in the past. ”

After teasing, Zhou Ming then asked: "But I'm not here to discuss the medieval Inquisition with you today, compared to this, I'm more interested in knowing what you are looking for me." ”

Faced with Zhou Ming's question, Lawrence and Louis both focused on Edward, and he stood up and said to Zhou Ming: "Before talking about things, I want to ask Mr. Zhou Ming a question about you, I know that you went to the court with your lawyer and Congressman Brooke, and submitted a lawsuit to the court against 45 investment companies in the Caribbean, right?"

"Of course, isn't that what we've all agreed upon? Zhou Ming said.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, please rest assured, since we have already decided something, we will not go back, but I want to confirm with Mr. Zhou Ming that the lawsuit has been successful, right?" Edward asked again.

Zhou Ming subconsciously frowned, feeling that Edward's words were a little strange, but he still replied: "It can only be said that it has been submitted, and whether it is successful or not depends on the later trial debate." ”

"As long as it can be successfully submitted, I believe that the rest of the matter will be fine. And then as the news spreads, the whole market will know about the fraud of investment companies on CDS contracts, which will further hit the subprime mortgage market, and since these companies are more or less related to the Addams family, this lawsuit will put a lot of pressure on the Addams family whether it succeeds or not. Then in the end, as long as we make a little effort in the middle of Brighton Bank, we can quickly take down the Addams family. Edward said.

What Edward said was what Zhou Ming had discussed with him at the beginning, but now that Zhou Ming listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Governor, what do you mean by saying this?" Zhou Ming asked.

"I'm wondering if you're too tired and need a break, Mr. Zhou Ming, after you've done so much?" asked Edward.

Hearing Edward's rhetorical question, Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment and then said, "Mr. Governor, I don't know if I misunderstood, are you saying that you want to kick me out of this matter?"

Edward shook his head and said: "How can this be? We are allies, and all the strategies for the Addams family are Zhou Ming, you came up with it alone, otherwise I don't think we can even find out where the weaknesses of the Addams family are, how can we do this kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? It's just that people's energy is limited, we think Zhou Ming, you have already done so many things, you must be tired, let us help you complete the rest." ”

Then Edward added: "Of course, we will still fulfill all the promises we made to Zhou Ming and you, whether it is your personal safety, your business status in Brighton, or other cash rewards, etc." ”

Almost before Edward's words fell, Lin Muqing was very dissatisfied and said: "Hey, Mr. Governor, just what you just said, no matter how you listen to it, you still don't let us continue to participate, didn't our alliance have already said before, no matter what, we have to advance and retreat together? But what do you mean by this? You didn't help us when we were thinking about a plan before, but now that our plan has begun to be implemented and has achieved results, you came to let us go, don't you think your approach is very immoral?"

Lin Muqing's angry voice was a little loud, so that the God's choir in front of the stage couldn't help but stop.

In response, Louis waved the choir to continue, and then said to Lin Muqing: "Ms. Lin Muqing, as a lady, you should not behave like this. Because of what you just said, I think you seem to have misunderstood us a lot, as Edward just said, we didn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, just for the sake of Mr. Zhou Ming, you are his lover, I think you should also consider his health, right?"

"Monsieur Louis can rest assured that I must be the one who cares most about him besides his parents. Lin Muqing said.

"If Ms. Lin Muqing cares so much, then why bother him to be sad again? Anyway, things have already come to an end, wouldn't it be better to taste what you have gained?" Lawrence also said.

Lin Muqing wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming stopped in front of her and said, "I can feel your concern, but are you really sure that you know what to do next?" Although I have filed a lawsuit against the forty-five investment companies now, this is not yet decisive, and the situation is not so clear. ”

"But I think Mr. Zhou Ming, you may be overly careful, because at least in our opinion, as long as this lawsuit is filed, regardless of the final outcome, our purpose for subprime loans and Brighton Bank has been achieved, and the Addams family is also under a lot of pressure in it, and he has been consulting us about countermeasures recently, as can be seen from this. Louie said.

Taking over Louis's words, Edward also said: "And on the other hand, we are also all directors of Brighton Bank, and the subprime loan has also had a great impact on Brighton Bank, so how to deal with it next, we will also know better than Zhou Ming, after all, we are just going to teach the Addams family a lesson, not to destroy this Brighton Bank that has been around for more than a hundred years, can you understand what I say?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Of course I can, because if it were me, I would do the same." ”

"So Zhou Ming, what do you think? Today we are looking for you for this. Lawrence asked.

"What do I think?" Zhou Ming said, "I think, I have been busy with this matter for so long, and the lawsuit is also an application submitted by me to the court, so it can be said that there are both merit and hard work, so at least I have no problem asking for an interest-free loan of 10 billion yuan for my Wharton Insurance Company, right? And if my company has any problems in the future, you must also help, what do you think?"

With Zhou Ming's question, Edward Lawrence and Louis all laughed, and after they looked at each other, Edward said: "Of course no problem, ten billion dollars of interest-free loans, in addition, the three of us can also give you an additional 200 million dollars, in the words of you Chinese, this is called red envelopes." ”

"If that's the case, then I'm so grateful. Zhou Ming stood up and stretched as he spoke, "Then I can enjoy my vacation to the fullest and squander this huge fortune!"

Then Zhou Ming left, but before leaving, Zhou Ming also left a sentence for Edward: "I just hope you don't regret today's decision, because I don't think the Addams family has nothing to do." ”
