This drunk man is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, and he doesn't say anything about his full name, only Sandro. He's a bit of a craft, he's gardening, he's a gardener. This work is still very popular in the wealthy areas, because the land in the rich areas is private property, and houses can be built in various ways, but the greening is subject to local laws. For example, if you plant an evergreen bush as a fence, you have to keep the shrubs alive and pruned or you will be fined by the municipality.

Sandro got a part-time job in a wealthy neighborhood on Long Island, where he regularly trimmed trees, flowers and lawns for several families. After working for 2 years, he also had some money in his hand, so he wanted to take his wife who was far away in Mexico first, and then take his family over when he had a stable place to live. This is not to go through the normal procedures at the border, but to smuggle in, and he has to pay a lot of money to the smugglers on the other side of the border.

However, this smuggling was unsuccessful, and the tunnel suddenly collapsed, and 7 or 8 people, including his wife, were suffocated inside. Sandro became addicted to alcohol, drank dizzily all day, and was fired by two employers. On the evening of the day Hong Shan was kidnapped, he was settling his wages at the home of his last employer, who could not stand his alcoholic habits.

When he went out, in order to thank his employer for overpaying him part of his salary, he decided to do his employer a small favor while he was still drunk, and finally did his employer a small favor, which was to prune the branch of the big tree behind his yard. Just as he had just climbed the branch and was about to start work, he saw a black car coming in from his neighbor's house. At first he didn't care. Just a casual glance, but the person who came out of the car made him a little alert. When the first person comes out. There was actually a white hood on his head, and the second person came out with a mask on his face. There was still a little boy with black hair in his arms, and the three of them hurried into the house and never came out.

As an illegal immigrant, Sandro didn't want to care about these things, and when he went to the police station, whether the other party was a kidnapper or not, he had to be detained first anyway. In order not to attract the attention of his neighbors, he made an excuse, saying that it was a little dark and it was not safe to work in the trees. Come back another day to trim the branches for the employer and leave. Who knew that this trip would be more than a year, and that night he got drunk again, and quarreled with the landlord who rented it, and was reported to the police by the landlord and thrown directly into the police station. Just in time for the car to be sent to the immigration office the next morning, he was sent away, and he didn't know what was going on behind him.

At the end of last year, he found it boring to stay in Mexico. So he smuggled back and continued to make a living as a florist in New York. But as soon as I have some money in hand, the addiction to alcohol comes back again, no. I drank last night, and I only woke up at noon today. In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, just because there were 5 blacks. He didn't dare to open his eyes, for fear of being beaten in vain. So I've been pretending to be asleep all the time. I happened to hear the conversation between Hong Tao and the black people, and then secretly glanced at Hong Tao's appearance. The more he thought about it, the more he looked like the kid he saw at the beginning, and after hearing the reward of tens of thousands of dollars, he couldn't help but open his mouth. With tens of thousands of dollars, he will not mix in New York, but return to his hometown to buy an agave farm, which is still delicious and spicy, and maybe he can find a daughter-in-law.

In the evening, the lawyer called and told Hong Tao two news, one good and one bad. The good thing is that what the drunk said is basically true, and his two employers have confirmed that he did work in their house, and the timing coincides. As for his deportation record and the owner of that house, the lawyer is investigating through personal connections. The bad thing is that the drunk man is an illegal immigrant, and if he is the only witness to the lawsuit, the chances of the judge accepting the testimony are very small. Moreover, he himself did not agree to testify in court, he just wanted to take the prize money and go back to his hometown to live.

"Don't be embarrassed for him, give him the bonus, help him transfer the money back to his hometown, he doesn't even have an identity, and he goes out with tens of thousands of yuan to be robbed or confiscated. Hong Tao is still very willing to help this Mexican more, but he is willing to go home, and he can't stop him, so he can only do his best to help him, no matter how he goes back, at least let his prize money be safe first.

Then Hong Tao began to wait for the results of the lawyer's investigation with apprehension, why was he worried, because he had a feeling that the possibility that Melinda said at the beginning was not true, and the kidnapping case might really involve people around him. The villa area was a high-end residential area, and it was certainly not a hiding place for gangsters and street gangsters. Hong Tao is very reluctant to see this kind of person around him, because no matter who it is, there is only one purpose for kidnapping Hong Shan, and that is money. Because the money hurts the feelings, it's too worthless, if you are ruthless, you are very sorry that this person is not worth it, if he or she asks for money directly with him, maybe he can give it, so Hong Tao regrets it a little now, it is better not to investigate this matter.

"Why are you here alone?Is something going on?" I don't know how long later, the door of the conference room opened, and Ah Shan led Hong Shan in, almost smoked out by a room of smoke.

"Well, it's a bit of a hassle, I'm going to be prosecuted by the NYPD, and it's a bit of a toss this time. Oh, it's so late, let's go, go home first, come to Hongshan, Dad will let you be a mouse superman!" "Glancing at his watch, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, Hong Tao moved his body, got up and walked out of the small conference room, picked up Hong Shan, put his belly on his head, and strode towards the elevator with his son who stretched out his limbs and entered the flight state.

"I've spoken to the police chief on the phone, and the prosecution can't be changed, but they're going to pick a young prosecutor and a less obnoxious judge. The lawyer is preparing your case, try to delay the court session as much as possible, so that public opinion can calm down first, so that the jury will not be affected. They estimate that you will definitely be found guilty in the end, but they will not let you actually go to prison, and it is more likely that you will serve your sentence outside of prison. When she got to the car, Ah Shan had already called all the way and gave Hong Tao an approximate result.

"Well, yes, this time it's a bit too much. Let's try it, I can stop and rest, and tomorrow help me contact the company where Crystal Orchid Capital holds voting shares, and if I have time, I have a meeting at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel these days, and I have something to discuss with them. Let me explain to them that I can't leave New York while I'm on bail, so I can only ask them to come over. "Hong Tao's mood is not too high, but not because he is going to court, but because of the Mexican.

"Do we need any more materials to prepare?" Ah Shan was not very happy when she saw Hong Tao, and she didn't dare to ask more, but just added.

"No, I just want to ask them something, if they agree, I want Crystal Orchid Capital to go public, and take advantage of the Internet investment boom to gather more strength. I can't help you with anything about going public, and Joseph is gone, so you can discuss with Jon first and see who is willing to join in. Although Hong Tao was not very comfortable, he still remembered how to withdraw funds from the US stock market, and he did not want to advance and retreat with the Americans, and spit back the blood that he had sucked into his mouth in vain.

"Listing! You—Haven't you always been reluctant to go public?" Hong Tao said a bit of a large amount of information, and Ah Shan was shocked.

"I need a lot of money to build my temple, not only in Belize, but also in southern Mexico, Guatemala, the Maya homeland. And I'm not interested in investing anymore, so it's better to let more professional people join in and become a shareholder in a down-to-earth manner. The position of the chairman is reserved for you, it is easier to be a supervisor than to do things in person, try it with Crystal Orchid Capital first, if it is no problem, Aigo Company will also be listed in two years, so that you and Tan Jing can rest and rest, and we will go to my kingdom of God to live together on a big boat. Hong Tao felt that Ouyang Qing's evaluation of himself was really appropriate, and now that he was talking nonsense, he really had entered the highest realm, and he almost believed in the story he made, so that the tone, expression, and demeanor were very matched.

"Do you really think there is a god?" Ah Shan was a little worried about Hong Tao's state, and the rumors that Hong Tao was crazy were not a day or two, she never believed it, but now she herself was a little skeptical.

"If you want to have it, you can have it, it's very beautiful, I already have tens of thousands of believers, and I'm still very religious, isn't that a god?" Hong Tao didn't specifically guard against Ah Shan, his sun plan didn't even say anything about Han Xue except for the necessary executors, not because he didn't trust it, but because it was unnecessary. They just have to wait for their results, and they don't need to mix them all, which is too dangerous.

Five days later, Hong Tao reappeared at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, this time in the news again, the news that he was going to be prosecuted by the New York Police Department had already spread, and the video of him driving a large warship-like ship, flying the flag of the former Soviet Navy, and shooting at the Statue of Liberty with fake naval guns was also on television. This time he did a bit out of line, although the naval guns were fake, and the ship was not a Soviet warship, it was a prank, but most Americans still could not accept this kind of behavior, at least they would not be on his side.

He can't stand if he wants to, this matter can't be debated, in any case, his behavior is disrespectful to the United States, and coupled with his status as a foreigner, it is even more unflattering. However, this public opinion attack was very strange, the first day or two was fine, but on the third day, it suddenly escalated, and the caliber of many media became unified, no longer mentioning any pranks, but turning to Hong Tao.
