So things took a turn here, and the next morning Duan Zetao went to the United Nations headquarters alone to find James. When Howard, his attitude seemed very cold, and last night's enthusiasm was almost like two people, he unceremoniously told Duan Zetao that there are many projects that have been submitted to the United Nations Heritage Committee for World Heritage Sites, and the projects in the ancient town of Xiani will be scheduled for at least a year later, and the situation of the ancient town of Xiani has no advantages compared with other places, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass the preliminary examination.

At this time, Zetao was depressed, he knew that James. What Howard said was completely a pretext, but he couldn't accuse James of going back on his word, after trying his best to mediate with James, James's attitude did not change, and he unceremoniously issued an eviction order, which made Duan Zetao break his head and couldn't figure out what the problem was.

But Duan Zetao has put in so much effort for the application of the Xiani Ancient Town for the World Heritage Project, it is definitely impossible to give up halfway, thinking about it, there is no other way, he has to call Robert and continue to ask him for help.

Robert listened to Duan Zetao on the phone about going to James this morning. Howard's office was silent for a while and said: "I have a friend at home now, it's inconvenient to go out, you can come directly to my manor, and I will send my housekeeper to pick you up ......."

Duan Zetao hurriedly said: "Then what's embarrassing, why don't you tell me the address, I'll go over directly......", Robert smiled, "There is no one to lead the way, you can't find my manor, you just wait in the hotel where you live, someone will pick you up in an hour ......."

An hour later, Duan Zetao got into the Cadillac RV that came to pick him up and left the city, driving on a tree-lined path, and then Duan Zetao understood why Robert said that no one came to pick him up, and Duan Zetao couldn't find his manor at all. It's so remote that there is a checkpoint at the entrance to the tree-lined path, guarded by heavily armed guards, with a sign that reads, "Private territory, trespassing!" ”。

Moreover, Duan Zetao also noticed that there seemed to be hidden whistles along the way, and ordinary people could not approach here without Robert's permission. However, Duan Zetao sat in Robert's special car, and the journey was naturally unimpeded.

The RV drove to the end of the boulevard, and saw the majestic manor gate, Duan Zetao thought that this was done, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to ask him to change to a battery car, Duan Zetao drove along the green road to the manor under the escort of four black bodyguards, and ran for more than ten minutes before it came to the end, which also made Duan Zetao really see what a huge rich family is, there is a villa of several hundred square meters in China, it is almost awesome to death, even if it is just a flower house on the side of the road, it is much more luxurious here, only bodyguards, florists, There are hundreds of horse breeders.

When you come to the inner manor, the guards here are much stricter, and you can't take the battery car anymore. The inner manor is actually built in the style of Suzhou gardens, rockeries and buildings can be seen everywhere, if it weren't for the murderous black bodyguard Duan Zetao around him, he would have thought that he had come to the fairyland on earth.

From time to time, there were bodyguards patrolling with Tibetan mastiffs or wolf dogs, and they showed their white teeth at Duan Zetao, and let out bursts of low roars, as if they were about to tear Duan Zetao to pieces at any time. What surprised Duan Zetao even more was that the roars of large groups of lions and tigers were heard from time to time in the iron houses on both sides.

There was a stone arch bridge to be crossed, and suddenly several bodyguards came over with a big cloth bag, there seemed to be something struggling and writhing in the bag, the bodyguard opened the cloth bag, and a naked person actually rolled out of it, his whole body was tightly bound by a rope, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, his eyes were full of fear, and his mouth tried his best to let out a desperate whisper, the bodyguard threw the man into the river, only to see a few huge crocodiles suddenly burst out from under the bridge, and instantly tore the person to pieces, Duan Zetao almost vomited out the bitter bile water with a "wow" sound, A few black bodyguards were as unresponsive as if they were commonplace.

Coming to a Gothic building, Robert was already waiting at the door, and hugged Duan Zetao with open arms, "My dear friend, your face doesn't seem to be very good, you don't have to worry too much, in country M, there is no ...... that our Rothschild family can't do."

Duan Zetao didn't mention what he saw just now, and put James straight to the point. Howard's sudden change of attitude was said, and Robert thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to make a phone call and ask what's going on......."

After a while, Robert came back and said with a somewhat solemn face: "This matter is a little troublesome, the FBI intervened in this matter, our family has never liked to deal with the FBI very much, they are like a pack of wild dogs, they will not let go when they are targeted, what a group of annoying guys......

Duan Zetao was even more surprised, he couldn't get along with the FBI, why should they get along with him? It's so weird.

At this time, Robert sneered again: "What about the FBI, they know that you are my friend and still want to meddle in this matter, obviously not giving us face to the Rothschild family, I want to help you get this matter done, you come with me, I will introduce you to a friend ......."

Duan Zetao followed Robert to a very luxuriously decorated large living room, a man in his thirties from country M was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar with his legs crossed, he was well-dressed and handsome, but somehow, it always gave people a very gloomy feeling, which made people feel a sense of pressure.

Robert pointed at the man and said, "Duan, this is John. Corleone, the godfather of the new generation of the mafia in country M, your business, he may have a way to help you ......".

Duan Zetao was stunned, Mario? Puzo's "The Godfather" he also read, but he didn't expect to see the prototype in the novel here, although the novel has an element of artistic processing, but there is no doubt that the Corleone family's position in the gangsters of country M is irreplaceable, and its influence in country M is also ubiquitous.

Someone once described the influence of the mafia in the society of country M, "Here, the government is in charge during the day, and the world of the gangsters is at night, and the Corleone family is the 'underground emperor' of the gangsters!" ”。

John. Corleone nodded slightly at Duan Zetao with some arrogance, and smiled at Robert: "Is there anything else that the Rothschild family can't settle and need me to come forward?" ……”。

Robert smiled faintly: "It's not that it's uneven, but I don't like to deal with the FBI, the Corleone family may be able to solve the problem faster and more directly, this Mr. Duan Zetao is a friend of our Rothschild family, you help him settle this matter, and the matter you talk to me about will be no problem......."

John. Seeing Robert say this, Corleone had to look at Duan Zetao with admiration, although the Corleone family dominates the underground forces of country M, but it can't be compared with a behemoth like the Rothschild family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, many things have to look at the face of the Rothschild family, and Robert attaches so much importance to Duan Zetao, he can't take it lightly.

Thinking of this, John. Corleone stood up, shook hands with Duan Zetao warmly, and said: "The friends of the Rothschild family are the friends of the Corleone family, no matter what trouble you have, it will be wrapped up in me, and the FBI group of dog mongrels, I have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye......."

James. When Howard returned home, he opened the door to find his young and beautiful wife tied up and thrown on the floor, with a ball of cloth in her mouth, looking at him with wide eyes in horror, and before he could react, several pistols with black holes were pointed at his head.

When he was pushed into the middle of the living room by several sturdy black men, he saw John sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar with his legs crossed. Corleone, see John. The coat of arms of the Corleone family embroidered on the neckline of the Corleone suit, James. Howard was completely desperate, what kind of bad luck has he been doing recently?! First, the FBI found him, and now he was targeted by the mafia, and asked in horror: "Mr. Corleone, did I do something wrong?!" ……”。

John. Corleone leisurely exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly: "The Corleone family dislikes people who go back on their word the most, now you should know what I am looking for you for......

Next, James. Howard knows very well what choice he should make, offending the FBI, he still has a way to live, at most let his wife and son go abroad to avoid it, but if he offends the mafia, he is really a dead end.

Of course, Duan Zetao didn't know anything about all this, he only received James on the third day. Howard called, and James was on the phone. Howard repeatedly apologized to him, and said that he would make every effort to promote the success of the application of Xiani Ancient Town for World Heritage Status, and would arrange an expert investigation team to visit Shannan as soon as possible.

After completing the application for the World Heritage Site, Duan Zetao could wholeheartedly prepare for the wedding with Jiang Xiaoxue, and after Mike learned about it, he took over the preparations for the wedding in a big way, and generously lent Duan Zetao a manor in the suburbs to Duan Zetao for the wedding ceremony.

Jiang Zuoliang, Zhang Xiaoxian and Zhang Guihua also rushed over from China and lived in Mike's manor, and they were all shocked by the luxurious layout in the manor, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

Ouyang Fang also took Xiaolan and Xiaofang from Southeast Asia, and Sun Miaoke even turned down the invitations of several internationally famous directors to direct movies and flew from Yanjing to country M.

Duan Zetao felt that he owed Jiang Xiaoxue too much, so he naturally wanted to give her an unforgettable wedding, but his identity was special, and he was bound not to be too public, how to hold an unassuming but relatively grand wedding made him painstaking.
