Chapter 316 317, off-the-field chores

The whole party lasted until the second half of the night, and everyone dispersed one after another, Cheng Lei returned home and slept until noon the next day before waking up.

Looking at his phone, there was a text message from Hicks, he went to the airport to check the surveillance, and he was the only one at home, Wu Chunlei and they were taking exams for the past two days, so they would not go home during the day.

I went out alone, ate something casually, and then went back home.

The All-Star Game voting is about to start, Cheng Lei opened his social media, which has always been the account that Zhuo Jiayue helps him manage, recently, she is busy with exams and has little time to get on the number, Cheng Lei is on the number by himself and canvass for himself.

I don't know if I don't see it, there are still quite a lot of fans who pay attention to him, which makes Cheng Lei feel very gratified.

In the afternoon, Hicks returned to the store from the airport, called Cheng Lei, and by checking the video of the airport, he did find Morgan's figure, there was a stranger who contacted Morgan at the airport first, and then the two left.

Listening to Hicks say this, this matter, I'm afraid it's not so simple, Morgan came to Houston, even if he met an acquaintance, he should have made a phone call and talked to Hicks, now the phone has been turned off, there must be something wrong.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Lei went directly to the store, made a copy of the video, and sent it to Pete, asking him to see if anyone knew the person who came into contact with Morgan.

It stands to reason that if Houston is really a person who mixes up on the road, he is a little famous, and Pete should know almost everyone about it.

You can't always ask Paul to help you every time you encounter something, let Pete start to check first, and if you can't find out anything later, ask Paul for help.

Not to mention, Pete is really efficient, and in the evening, he gave Cheng Lei an accurate answer, someone knows this person who picked up Morgan, it is a person under Henry, and he should be at the Leskell Hotel in normal times.

The big hotel is the inside line of their gang, and this Henry is the second-in-command of the gang, mainly responsible for managing the Leskell Hotel.

Henry? It's a familiar name, I think I've heard it somewhere.

Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Lei reacted, Morgan knew Henry and had a very good relationship with Henry, didn't he ask Henry for help in the last Crown Bar, although he didn't help much in the end.

Les Cays Grand Hotel?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Cheng Lei's mind, as if Johnson was also in that hotel now? The spearhead of everything was pointed at the Leskell Hotel at once.

Since Henry and Morgan have a good relationship, at least Morgan is not in danger of his life at the moment, but I don't know what Henry is looking for Morgan, and why Morgan turned off his mobile phone.

After knowing who Morgan was in contact with, Cheng Lei was not as worried as before, and after chatting with Hicks for a few words, he hung up the phone.

Early the next morning, the clerk took a letter and handed it to Hicks, saying that someone had stuffed it in the crack of the door, and after opening it, Hicks's whole face changed, and he was relaxed when he heard Cheng Lei say this all day, and now, the whole person was even more worried.

There are only a few very simple lines on it, if you want to see Morgan, let Cheng Lei carry one million cash alone, and three days later, come to the repair shop in the eastern suburbs alone, if you call the police, you will bear the consequences!

This is a naked threat, Hicks hurriedly talked to Cheng Lei on the phone.

Is this coming for you? Since he let himself go alone, then he will go over and take a look, anyway, he will go alone, as long as there is no one else, Cheng Lei is still sure that he will leave with his whole body, so he is not so worried.

Special advice Hicks, this matter, don't let anyone else know, especially Wu Chunlei, Zhuo Jiayue them.

In three days, the other party asked him to raise one million cash in three days in disguise, and the abacus was just right.

Qian Chenglei was not very worried, and he didn't plan to give them the money, so he asked Hicks to prepare 100,000 cash, put it on the top, and put all the paper below.

After the matter was dealt with, Cheng Lei devoted himself to today's training.

......

The Rockets' opponent in this year's Christmas game will be Harden's old club, the Thunder, this game is also full of highlights, the Thunder's Wesburuk, this year is unusually ferocious, and getting a triple-double is as easy as eating.

The two teams will face off against each other, which will be a highlight of this year's Christmas war.

Before the Christmas game, the Rockets have six opponents, home to the Hornets on the 14th, home to the Spurs on the 16th, home to the Bucks on the 17th, home to the Jazz on the 19th, and the Los Angeles Twins, home to the Lakers on the 21st, and home to the Clippers on the 23rd.

Although the overall record of the Rockets is good now, the schedule is too dense, and the fans will be more or less tired in such a dense game, which is not a good phenomenon, and the coach has to consider letting the players start to rest.

The more you go to the back, the more you can't let the players get injured, the Rockets' goal is to compete for the championship, and if at this time, the main team is injured, it will be more than worth the loss.

In the next game, the opponent was the Hornets, which was not very strong, so De Shuai decisively took turns to rest Harden and Paul, and let Cheng Lei lead the team to play this game, and said to Capela before the game that he would only give him twenty minutes of playing time in this game.

Cheng Lei was not in a very good mood because of Morgan's affairs, and several stunned young people of the Hornets kept mocking Cheng Lei, and in this game, Cheng Lei was stunned.

He scored 52 points, 7 of 12 three-point shots, 10 of 15 shots, and 11 free throws.

"Ray is going crazy today!" Harden is like a fan of Cheng Lei, sitting on the sidelines and waving a towel.

Paul was dressed in a crisp suit and clapped his hands vigorously.

The fans at home, as long as they saw Cheng Lei score, consciously stood up and shouted.

After this game, the sports news was overwhelming with news about Cheng Lei, and there was a news that exaggerated the evaluation of Cheng Lei as the best rookie in recent years, of course, he was not optimistic about Cheng Lei, and compared him with Jennings and Evans, who were at the peak of their debut.

However, Cheng Lei didn't care about these at all, and he appeared on his social account, taking advantage of this craze, to canvass for himself again.

All-star voting will begin on Christmas Day, and many players are already canvassing for votes in advance.

"Lei, I saw you canvassing for yourself yesterday, this is too immoral!" After the game, Paul patted Cheng Lei on the shoulder and said.

"It's just, it's too inauthentic!" Harden also ran over and said.

"Do you have anything to tell the two big guys?"

"Canvassing for the two of us, you have such a big market behind you, one vote per person is enough to scare others to death!" Harden blinked and said.

"I'll help the two bigwigs get a ticket right away!" Cheng Lei showed a look of relief to him.
