Chapter 494: Asking for help

In the days that followed, everything went on as Lyla remembered. With a catastrophic sell-off in the stock market, the airline industry battered after a three-day shutdown, Americans are no longer as confident in their safety as they once were......

Originally, when he took office, many people were not very optimistic about him, but after this incident, his approval rating suddenly rose a lot, and it is no wonder that some people in later generations believed that this tragedy happened under the control of the United States.

Because of Leila's "hunch" and Janet's "strength", Channing's shares were all sold long before the incident. At that time, he felt that he had lost a lot, but now he is simply lucky. If it weren't for knowing Leila's identity, Channing would have almost wondered if she had anything to do with it.

He was not the only one who was shocked, but Old Man Auswid was also one of the lucky ones. The words that Leila had spoken to him that night made his heart uneasy, both as a sign of trust in his granddaughter and out of caution, as he shifted most of his money from the stock market, which was easily vulnerable.

However, compared to Leila, the action is still too light, but fortunately, the loss is much less than the original, which is finally a blessing in misfortune. And the whole family also decided to put it in their stomachs and never say anything outside.

Investors like them will be noticed by the outside world about any action, and I believe that some people may also have doubts about their investment changes before it happens, and when the time comes, they can just say "change the direction of investment". No one would think they were really connected to a terrorist organization.

What they didn't know was that their transfer of investment had really been secretly investigated, but no evidence was found, and many of the results of the investigation could only be described as "coincidence", and finally the investigation was quietly withdrawn.

Come to think of it, it wasn't a little money, but a lot of money, just before the disaster happened, he went to a safe place, and he just escaped a huge loss.

Fortunately, Moran Group has an "innocent family background" and is a high-quality taxpayer with good roots, so it is only secretly investigated and not opened in front of the public. Otherwise, whether it is true or not, before a conclusion is given, the Moran Group will definitely fall into the predicament of everyone shouting and beating. Even if it is whitewashed by then, what has been lost has already been lost.

Thankfully, fortunately.

In the chaotic moment outside, the filming of movies and everything must have been suspended. The movies that are being released are out of luck, and not many people want to go to the theater at all. There is time to watch a movie, and people want to sit in front of the TV and watch the events unfold. When people can't even guarantee the safety of their own lives, who else has the leisure to go to the cinema to relax?

Under Roy's "entanglement", Leila got a soft vacation, and she didn't even touch the computer every day except for eating and sleeping. However, such days came to an abrupt end two days before her birthday.

At about four o'clock in the morning, Leila, who was sleeping, was awakened by a mobile phone ringtone, this number is a number that only relatives and acquaintances know, so it is turned on 24 hours a day. Normally, if there is no situation, no one will choose such a time to call. Looking out the window at the unlit sky, she looked solemnly at the phone with no number.

"I'm Leila. ”

"Leila, I'm Jia Xiaoming. After the phone was connected, Jia Xiaoming's tired voice came from there.

Leila frowned, "What's wrong?"

She could hear his exhaustion and weakness in his voice, as if he hadn't slept in a long time, as if he had just crawled out of hell, without any vitality. Since the completion of Pirates of the Caribbean, he has returned to his original place, and this is the first call in half a year. And his profession is very sensitive, so it will definitely not be a good thing to call at this time.

"You still owe me a favor, and now you pay it back, can you?" Jia Xiaoming's voice was full of apologies. "I can't find anyone else to help with this matter other than you. ”

Leila narrowed her eyes, "Am I in danger?"

"No! I promise there will be no problems as long as it's arranged, but I need your identity. It's at stake in the lives of several of my friends!"

Leila was silent for a moment: "Okay, I promise you. ”

She knew she shouldn't have said yes. He said that there would be no problem, so there was really no problem? Do what he does, if even he can't do it, can she really do it without any problem?

"Thank you, Leila! Thank you! Even if you ask me to make up the donkey in your movie, I will never refuse!" Jia Xiaoming thanked excitedly. He had already thought of many ways to persuade her, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily. Now those people are saved!

"You don't need to put on the donkey's makeup!" Leila's forehead popped up with a few black lines, "I owe you a favor, as long as I can do it." Tell me what I need to do. ”

Jia Xiaoming didn't say any more words of gratitude, in short, he kept this matter in his heart, as long as she was in need in the future, he would help her complete it even if he lost his life!

"That's right. You know 911, right?"

"Do you think there will be anyone who doesn't know?" Leila sneered angrily, "Don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say." ”

"It's not convenient to say on the phone, can you open the window?"

Leila was stunned for a moment, then put on a pajama jacket and walked barefoot to the window, where she saw a man in black squatting on a large branch outside, with only two eyes exposed.

If ...... hadn't guessed that he might be outside, she felt that no matter how much she paid attention, she would not have been able to identify him from the shadows of the trees.

Walking over and opening the window, she waved at him angrily: "Come in." ”

"Hey, thanks. Jia Xiaoming took off her shoes with some embarrassment, lest the soil-stained soles of her shoes leave stains on the expensive woolly carpet in her room. Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt that the carpet under his feet might not be a high-end item that he couldn't buy with a year's salary.

Leila looked at him, "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, I'm here to ask for your help. Jia Xiaoming carried his shoes, and after looking for two laps, he couldn't find a place to put shoes in this girly, soft and cute room, so he had to continue to carry them in his hand awkwardly.

Leila guessed what he had in mind after watching him spin around twice, and was amused enough to pull out a few pieces of manuscript paper from the cabinet and place them on top.

Jia Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief and put his shoes on the paper.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on. Leila gestured to a convenient chair for him to sit down.
