Chapter 1,289: Incident

Chapter 1160 Accident

"Pamora is not close to here. If you live there, you will spend all your time in the car going back and forth these days."

When Holly heard John's words, she was a little amused that he misremembered the place name, and happened to see him wiping his body again.

I have to say that although John's figure is a little out of shape, he is not small, which is relatively rare especially for his age.

"Let's keep it simple. I have an extra spare room at home in Luojishan. Although the room is not big, you can spend more time with the children."

Holly didn't know whether she saw John's big body or thought that it would be difficult for him to come over and travel a long way.

Anyway, she hesitated for a moment and made another suggestion.

"Will the children let me accompany you?"

When John heard Holly mention the children, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face for the first time.

As a policeman who had a bad relationship with his superiors, John always stood aside for the good things in the police station and could not avoid the drudgery, so he rarely had free time to spend with his children.

In the past, children preferred to be with their mother rather than playing with him.

John's heart suddenly melted when he heard that the children wanted him to accompany them.

"Why not, in fact, I would too"

Although Holly is already considering divorcing John, they have been together for more than ten years, so it is impossible to say that they have no feelings at all.

Not to mention they have two children.

Hearing that Holly seemed to want to ease their relationship, John couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Wow, your boobs are so big!"

"Haha, isn't it much bigger than Holly's!"

Just when John was about to say something nice, suddenly two voices, a man and a woman, came from outside the door.

Bang——

Then the bathroom door was opened, and Ellis broke in from the outside holding a woman.

"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!"

The two were making waves passionately, and Ellis was touching the woman. After seeing someone in the bathroom, they apologized and left.

After hearing and seeing this scene, John's mood, which had just improved, suddenly took a turn for the worse.

"By the way, why didn't I know when did your surname change?"

John suddenly brought up Holly's last name change.

"Why--"

Holly and John have been together for more than ten years. When they saw each other like this, they knew that he was ready to cause trouble.

So she sighed, and then explained helplessly.

"I remember telling you many times before that this is a small company and they believe that married women are unreliable."

But before Holly could finish the reason she had said many times before, John was still feeling very uncomfortable.

"Is it a sin for you to marry me or is it difficult for you to accept the last name of McLean? Holly, even when you are not at work, we still get through life."

John also started talking about the same thing.

Holly interrupted equally impatiently: "Why are you talking about this again? This job opportunity is very rare for me."

When John heard what Holly said, he immediately became angry: "So you can accept it no matter what the consequences, right? Maybe it's because of it that it changed your understanding of marriage."

Holly: "You don't even know me!"

John: “You don’t understand marriage either!”

The two of them became excited for a moment.

Da da da--

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Ms. Yoshinaro, Mr. Aoki is looking for you!"

Aoki's secretary suddenly appeared, interrupting the quarrel between the two.

"I'll be back in a while, please calm down first."

Holly took a deep breath again, controlled her temper, then turned and walked out.

John, who was originally angry, immediately calmed down after being interrupted like this. He immediately regretted and banged his head against the wall.

Dong dong dong——

"Well done, John, you are so mature!"

While John tortured himself, he couldn't help but secretly regret it.

John obviously regretted that Holly had already taken the initiative to ease the relationship, but his temporary jealousy had brought the relationship to a standstill.

Click——

Just when John banged his head against the wall, Zhang Pin walked in from outside.

His purpose of coming here has been achieved. Aoki specially arranged for a few young girls to toast Zhang Pin while he was checking the accounts.

Sir Zhang originally had expectations for these so-called well-known entertainers in their childhood.

But after taking a look, Sir Zhang suddenly discovered that several of them were actually "teachers" in the entertainment industry that he was familiar with.

After confirming, he naturally lost interest, so after being casually polite, he excused himself to wash his hands and walked out.

He had already made plans to leave directly after using the bathroom.

Although in his previous life, he had watched the performances of several of these teachers, and even in some midnight dreams, these teachers had become the heroines in his stories.

But in this life, Sir Zhang obviously had no idea of ​​anything happening with these teachers.

Unexpectedly, he pushed open the bathroom door and saw John banging his head against the wall.

When he heard the door opening, John also turned his head and looked over.

The two looked at each other, and John immediately curled up his toes subconsciously in embarrassment.

"I didn't see anything."

Zhang Pin shook his head and spoke without waiting for John to explain.

He didn't know John, and he had no interest in understanding why the other party banged his head against the wall, and of course he had no interest in laughing at the other party's weird behavior.

"Don't get me wrong, I just had a headache just now."

John also explained at this time, although this explanation sounded unreliable.

But when John curled up his toes in embarrassment, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to be so nervous.

It seems that the guy's nine years of flying experience is actually true.

An idea flashed through John's mind.

Da Da Da——

Bang Bang Bang——

Just at this time, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.

"What's going on, is someone setting off firecrackers?"

Sir Zhang's first reaction to the noise was that the people outside were too excited and someone set off firecrackers in the building.

"No, it's gunshots!"

Unlike Zhang Pin, John, a native American who has been a policeman for more than ten years, would not think that it was the sound of firecrackers, but the sound of bullets being fired.

As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk to the door and opened a gap.

Zhang Pin saw John's move and followed him. When they looked out, they found that there were seven or eight gunmen standing in the hall, and several of them were holding guns and shooting at the ceiling.

"Ah!"

Hearing the gunshots, the originally excited people were immediately scared and fled like birds and beasts.

And these gunmen who fired the guns quickly took the initiative to attack and drove all the fleeing people back to the hall one by one.

Seeing this scene, Sir Zhang was a little stunned for a while. He didn't expect that he would encounter robbers just by attending a banquet casually. In the middle of the night, these guys didn't sleep and were so dedicated. They really deserved to be American.

"Run!"

Just when Zhang Sir was stunned, John did not hesitate. He chose to run away while the gunmen in the hall were scattered to catch people.

"Isn't the woman being dragged your wife?"

Zhang Sir looked at John in shock, who was running towards the fire escape next to the bathroom with his body lowered, his butt raised, and without even wearing shoes, and hurriedly reminded him.

The two met at the elevator entrance before, and Zhang Sir knew that the other party was also an invited guest at the banquet tonight.

The reason why Holly was not there at that time was that she went to prepare the information of Zhongfu Group for Zhang Pin, so Zhang Pin also knew Holly.

"They are many people, and they have guns."

Hearing Zhang Pin's question, John did not stop and did not look back, but ran faster.

Zhang Sir didn't care much about the appearance of several gunmen. With his ability and unexpectedness, it was not difficult to deal with these gunmen.

But he was more curious about the purpose of these gunmen coming here.

Looking at the number of people and weapons and equipment of the other party, it was obvious that they were preparing to make a big move.

It just so happened that Zhang Pin knew that Zhongfu Group had just recently acquired a bearer bond worth 640 million US dollars.

It stands to reason that for an investment like this bond, even if it is within Zhongfu Group, only a very small number of people would know about it, but it just happened that a robbery occurred.

In this case, it is hard not to think that there is an insider.

That is why Sir Zhang thought about not coming forward for the time being and wait and see what happens.

Of course, in addition to worrying about the insider, he is also interested in the bond.

After all, it is a bearer bond worth 640 million US dollars, which is higher than 640 million in cash in terms of value.

Because bonds still have maturity returns, and it is difficult for ordinary institutions to give safe deposit returns for such a large amount of cash.

As for whether Zhongfu Group will affect the fundraising due at the end of the month and thus affect the valuation of the entire company if it loses this bond, Sir Zhang naturally does not need to worry about this.

First of all, Zhang Pin must know that Zhongfu Group must have insured such a large bearer bond.

And now is the critical moment when Daqiao Bank wants to acquire a stake in Zhongfu Group.

If the other party is short of money, it is actually good news for Daqiao Bank.

After all, since the other party is short of money, the investment in Daqiao Bank is more urgent, and Daqiao Group can take the initiative and have more say.

As for whether Daqiao Group can make up the gap of 1 billion US dollars, and how to operate Zhongfu Group after making up this gap, Zhang Pin doesn't need to worry about it.

He believes that since Chen Tianqiao chose Zhongfu Group, he must have made the worst plan.

After all, Zhongfu Group has been able to operate for so many years, and the people inside can't all be fools.

The other party must also know the real purpose of Daqiao Group's investment.

Because there were people fleeing everywhere in the hall, Zhang Pin and John's departure did not attract the attention of the gunmen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, first of all, I am very sorry to disturb your party, but please rest assured that we are here just to seek money. As long as everyone cooperates, I guarantee that your life safety will not be threatened, but if you don't cooperate, then we have to pray that you can block the bullet."

Just when the gunmen had brought most of the people into the hall, the professor among the gunmen stood up.

The professor himself looked elegant and his voice was very magnetic.

Coupled with what he said, many people calmed down immediately.

Seeking money rather than life is simply the best news for most workers.

Not to mention that America has always been popular with the trend of pre-consumption, these workers don’t look bright and beautiful, but in fact, they don’t have much money in their pockets.

Even many people may have overdue credit cards for the month if their wages are paid a few days late.

So they are not afraid of being robbed.

And even for those who have savings, it is completely acceptable for them to lose money and eliminate disasters when they encounter such a situation.

After all, the world is big, and your life is the most important.

So soon, the originally chaotic crowd quickly quieted down, and even some people who were hiding in various office meeting rooms took the initiative to stand up.

The room is so small, instead of being found by the gunmen and being beaten, they would rather cooperate with the other party to rob and leave quickly, maybe they can continue to play the second half.

Ellis, who had just taken off his pants, wanted to take the initiative to talk to the professor.

"Very good, thank you for your cooperation."

However, the professor obviously ignored the other party's intention at this time.

Without waiting for Ellis to get close, one of the strong gunmen gave Ellis, who was still standing, a gun butt.

"Everyone is worthy of being a social elite. I hope everyone can cooperate like this in the next time. I sincerely hope that everyone can have a pleasant dream tonight."

The professor was very satisfied with everyone's cooperation, so he didn't mind showing some goodwill to everyone.

Then he took out a notebook and looked at several men around him.

These men quickly reported a number one by one.

"Very good, everyone is here."

The professor heard the number reported by his men and nodded with satisfaction.

They obviously came prepared, and even had the list of the number of employees of Zhongfu Group who would attend the party tonight.

"Then let's start today's first question. Mr. Aoki, the president of the American branch of the Nakatomi Group, who is Mr. Aoki?"

The professor looked down at his notebook. When he heard the question, the crowd all lowered their heads, just like the students who hid themselves when the teacher called their names in class.

"Aoki Matsushita, born in 1937, immigrated to San Pedro, California with his family in 1939, spent time in the detention camp from 1942 to 1943, was admitted to college in 1955, received a scholarship from the University of California, and obtained a law degree from the university seven years later. In 1970, he received a master's degree in business administration from Harvard. He has a happy family and is the father of five children."

The professor saw the performance of the crowd and started reading the information he had obtained.

While reading, he focused on the older Asians in the crowd.

"Enough, who are you and what is your purpose here? I am Aoki."

Aoki heard that the other party was so familiar with his information, how could he not know that the other party came prepared.

Besides, now that the entire company has been caught in one fell swoop, it is only a matter of time before he is found.

So he just stood up and wanted to see if he could talk to the other party.

"Mr. Aoki, I have heard of your name for a long time. It's nice to meet you!"

Seeing Aoki stand up, the professor smiled.

"You can call me Hans!"

He also introduced himself.
