Chapter 0248 - Where are there no surprises in life
The hostages had arrived, and Zeng Zhi didn't plan to stay here any longer, plus it was not too early, so he decided to go back to the hotel.
However, before that, there is one more thing to deal with, and that is to send away the young man who had helped him before.
Although this little guy didn't really help him, after all, people have the heart to help, and if there is no expression, it is really a little unreasonable.
Seriously, until now, Zeng Zhi didn't know what this guy's name was.
Zeng Zhi called the young man aside and said, "Little brother, thank you just now." ”
The young man smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Sir, you are so polite, I didn't actually help you much. ”
Zeng Zhi said with a smile: "No matter what, you have good intentions." By the way, I don't know what to call you yet...... Also, what do you do? ”
The young man touched his head and said with a smile: "My name is Jesse Lingard, you can call me Jesse, sir." I'm a professional footballer and I'm part of the Manchester United team. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Zeng Zhi coughed violently again.
Life is really full of surprises anytime and anywhere, at least in Zeng Zhi's opinion. He is a Red Devils fan who came to Manchester with his new wife just to watch a game against his favourite team. A moment ago, he was still a little unhappy about his bad luck, after all, when he first came here, he encountered a gang of gangsters looking for trouble, which is really a bit unlucky. But the next moment, he learned that a young man who helped out was actually a player from his favorite team, which was really unexpected.
Zeng Zhi asked with some curiosity: "Are you really a Manchester United player?" Why haven't I heard of you? You know, I'm a Manchester United fan, although I haven't been to the UK to watch Manchester United before, but on the Internet, I basically watched all the Manchester United games. ”
Lingard said with some embarrassment: "Maybe it's because I'm just a fringe player at Manchester United, I've basically been on loan to other teams for years, and I basically don't have much chance to play at Manchester United. ”
"Yes......" Hearing what Lingard said, Zeng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. It wasn't until this moment that he noticed that Lingard's face was indeed a little familiar, at first he just subconsciously thought that the faces of Westerners were similar in appearance, but now it seems that this is not the case, obviously the face he has seen on Manchester United's official website.
In fact, this is just one reason, Zeng Zhi has an impression of Lingard, mainly because this guy played in the Premier League opener this season, which was also Lingard's first team debut for Manchester United. It's a pity that this guy is more tragic, he only played for 24 minutes, and then left the field because of an injury in the scramble, and then he has been out of action and has not been given a chance to play until now.
In order not to waste time, he is in talks with Dutchman Louis van Gaal to seek a loan move to another team and get a chance to play on the pitch.
After getting to know each other, both of them were very happy, Zeng Zhi was happy because he met a player from his favorite team, while Lingard was happy that he met a very powerful person. Through what happened just now, he knew that Zeng Zhi was not an ordinary person, and it was his luck that he knew such a powerful person.
However, the two didn't talk much, firstly, because Lingard still has to participate in the team's training tomorrow and must go back to rest early, and secondly, Zeng Zhi has to deal with the things that have not yet been dealt with.
So, the two said goodbye quickly, but they made an appointment that Lingard would accompany Zeng Zhi to Old Trafford to watch the game tomorrow in Manchester United.
……………………
On the way back to the car, Melina, who had not spoken much, stroked the hair of her daughter who had fallen asleep, and asked Zeng Zhi softly, "Mr. Zeng, can you tell me what happened between you and my husband?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I just hope you can walk around with us these days." Zeng Zhi shook his head and said, no matter what, Zeng Zhi still has a lot of respect for people in the education field, although he can't understand how Melina would marry Husky, but this does not prevent Zeng Zhi from trying his best to avoid any psychological panic to Melina's mother and daughter.
Melina was silent for a moment before she asked faintly, "Will you kill us?" ”
Without waiting for Zeng Zhi to speak, she said to herself again: "No, you won't do this, so can you tell me, what happened between you and my husband?" ”
Zeng Zhi shook his head with a smile and said, "Melina, I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Can you please be honest with me?" Melina didn't think much of Zeng Zhi's pretending to be stupid, but her tone was calm, "Please don't underestimate the IQ of a university lecturer. ”
Being able to become a teacher of an ace major like the University of Manchester, even if it is just a lecturer, is enough to mean that Melina's IQ is definitely not low, and not everyone can be a lecturer in a world-famous university. In ancient times, Mr. Nan Guo could pretend to mix in the band and fill up the numbers, but in today's information age, it is not so easy.
Although Husky said that he was offering some help to Zeng Zhi, through the analysis of a little details, Melina had long determined that the matter between her husband and this Mr. Zeng was definitely not as easy as they said.
"Okay," Zeng Zhi hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, something unpleasant happened between me and your husband, and it may be a trivial matter to end with an apology to ordinary people, but considering your husband's special status...... I think you should be able to get it? ”
"I see," Melina nodded faintly, whispering, "My daughter and I are your hostages. ”
Zeng Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Although I don't want to use this word, if you insist on saying it...... That's up to you, too. Rest assured, as soon as we get on the plane leaving Manchester, this 'cooperation' will be over, and we will all be 'friends' during this period. ”
Friends? Melina's smile is as bitter as she gets: she knows what her husband does, and she has been awakened by her own dreams countless times, although her husband never lets herself participate in his "business", and never even talks to herself about his business, but Melina is not stupid, combined with all the clues she has observed, she is really worried that her husband will one day die on the street.
Is today's event the rhythm of my long-standing nightmare about to come true?
