Chapter 197: Falling from the Tower
I'm afraid that she will become the enemy's person, and I am afraid that she will become a member of another faction.
Father Zhong: "As long as I am here, she will not betray the country, and if I die, she will not betray the country." ”
It is said that father and daughter are bound by each other, and this sentence is not bad at all.
For the safety of Father Zhong, it is absolutely impossible for Zhong Li to interfere in these struggles.
But things can't go as planned, and the Zhong family is targeted by the enemy in the end.
"President Zhong, as the president of the Concession Chamber of Commerce, you must be admired by everyone, if you are willing to cooperate with us in reform, we will definitely praise you as our guest."
Father Zhong looked at the person who came, with a thief's eyebrow, and said quietly: "You look at Zhong Mou, but the Chamber of Commerce is not my word hall in the end, what you say, Zhong Mou can't do anything." ”
The officer was not angry when he heard the refusal, but said calmly: "You might as well think about it, I heard that Miss Zhong has returned to China after completing her studies, I wonder if Miss Zhong will take the time to come to tonight's banquet?" ”
Father Zhong saw that the man was quite fluent in Chinese, but he still had a foreign accent: "The little girl doesn't like to socialize, so she won't go tonight." ”
Zhong Li on the other end didn't go home as Father Zhong thought, because someone came to the door in both ways.
Zhong Li, who was threatened by his father, had to change into a fancy dress and drive to the banquet.
Tonight's banquet was very lively, and Father Zhong was cautiously entertaining at the banquet for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce and the tasks behind him, but he turned his head and saw his daughter walking in in a cheongsam, and behind him was a person wearing a foreign military uniform, and he understood everything at once.
The father and daughter stood tightly together, and Zhong Li began to intimidate those people in fluent foreign languages, and the words were full of contacts they had met abroad.
The other party was much more polite.
Also, such a person is just a bunch of licking dogs to others.
Halfway through the banquet, seeing that Zhong Li was at ease, Father Zhong went to the bathroom with confidence.
In a moment, the banquet fell into darkness, and Zhong Li quickly hid himself by the walls and pillars on one side.
The gunshots rang out, and Zhong Li half-squatted to find Zhong's father, but was hit several times by people running around the banquet.
She stomped her foot unwillingly and ran past the gunfire and light.
Suddenly, someone fell outside the window, and Zhong Li looked at the high-ranking foreign officer who had appeared in the newspaper.
It instantly became clear that this was a targeted assassination.
The hall lit up again, and Zhong Li immediately found that he was looking for his father, and at the same time, someone found the dead officer outside.
The screams continued, and Father Zhong walked up to her and held her hand tightly.
The father and daughter had a good heart, and they didn't say much.
The banquet ended hastily, and the crisis of the Zhong family was not officially resolved, and the father and daughter of the Zhong family returned to the study with a calm face.
"Father, are they gone? Why do you need to be a helpless person to take risks? What is your mission? Isn't it enough for our Zhong family to contribute money and medicine? ”
The reason why Zhong Li has not stopped him is just that he thinks that the money and goods that disappeared from the account are his support, and now he is in danger.
Father Zhong knew that he was scared of his daughter, and hurriedly said, "I didn't do anything, I just helped turn off the lights." ”
"What if you get caught?" Zhong Li asked rhetorically.
"I remember you said, the more chaotic the world, the more stable the Zhong family must be, because the Zhong family is the last line of defense in the lives of the common people, we have to hold the business, we can't be taken away by those people, we can't let them hurt the people and can't even afford to eat, you are now in danger, what should the Chamber of Commerce do, won't it fall into the hands of those people?"
Zhong Li came back and saw clearly that the concession and the surrounding areas were still able to barely maintain their lives without starvation, and the chambers of commerce in the concession were stable, and most of the people did not make a fortune.
Professional people do professional things.
Father Zhong sighed, the cigarette in his hand kept turning, worried that his daughter was stunned in the study and did not light a cigarette.
"Now that the world is different, the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to keep it."
The world is difficult, and the first difficulty is the common people.
"You go to your grandfather's house, your uncles will definitely protect you, there is no chaos there, and when the world is stable, you will come back."
Zhong Li paused, and came to this trick again.
Father Zhong didn't say much, and drove Zhong Li back to the room, and the light in the study was on all night that night.
Zhong Li at the other end was still trying to find a way to keep the Chamber of Commerce and the Zhong family in this kind of world, but because of her maternal grandfather's family, the Zhong family might be fine, but the other families of the Chamber of Commerce didn't have such good luck.
On this day, Zhong Li was inspecting the industry outside, and the housekeeper stumbled in.
When Zhong Li rushed back to the company, he could only see Father Zhong who jumped down, and the officers who came out of it.
Zhong Li's eyes were bloody, she quietly approached Father Zhong, and she didn't even know what was going on?
The whole person didn't even cry sadly, and soon an employee rushed out.
Zhong Li went back to learn that the Zhong family had lost a batch of goods yesterday, and the Zhong family's financial cash flow was directly swept away.
"Impossible," Zhong Li said immediately, she looked at the housekeeper, "What else are you hiding from me?" ”
The goods and cash were simply not enough for Father Zhong to jump off the building.
Their Zhong family doesn't just have that little bit of money.
The butler lowered his head and did not speak, and Zhong Li began to prepare the mourning hall with his help.
The night was very quiet, Zhong Li knelt below and said nothing, until midnight, when the candle burned to the sound of the horn, it was extremely loud in the empty mourning hall.
A tear suddenly fell, and Zhong Li knelt on the ground and cried.
Cheng Li walked in, he came back today to find out about the tragedy of the Zhong family: "I will find out." ”
Zhong Li didn't speak.
"Mr. Zhong resists the pressure of the military, and the chamber of commerce with him is a hard stone that cannot be gnawed, and they will not let Mr. Zhong continue to lead the business community to oppose them."
Cheng Li and Zhong Li are very clear that no one in the concession can unify the Chamber of Commerce except for Zhong's father, and the business community is afraid that it will be lost next.
"Mr. Zhong was going to let you go abroad before, you decide the time, and we will help you leave."
Zhong Li said calmly: "You can still have foreign channels?" ”
What she didn't say was that as long as she wanted to go, it wouldn't be a problem to survive with a broken tail, but at this moment, she didn't want to leave.
"What did my father do for you before?"
Cheng Li didn't speak, Zhong Li didn't force it, and it was not surprising that there was something to be embarrassed about.
Zhong Li silently sent away his father and a group of friends who came to pay respects, sitting quietly on the chaise longue in the courtyard alone, the sun shining on her, but she still felt very desolate.
The Zhong family's business is still running, but it has sunset.
She also has no intention of tidying up the business and letting them continue to mess around.
Everything was so sudden, Zhong Li now just wanted to know how her father died?
Suddenly, she thought of something and stood up violently.
