Chapter 341: Touching the porcelain

Since the room had already been booked in advance, Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin only needed to check in at the front desk, and then they were escorted to their room by the waiter.

As a precaution, Zhou Ming still chose an ordinary room. After arriving at his room and putting down his luggage, Zhou Ming gave a tip according to the hotel's rules.

I don't know if it was because of Zhou Ming's generosity or the hotel's rules, but after receiving the tip, the waiter did not leave immediately, but instead reminded Zhou Ming, 'Dear guest, If you need to go out, it is best to avoid the city centre, especially the old city centre, unless it is absolutely necessary. That is a black neighbourhood, with drugs and violence, very dangerous.'

The waiter added, 'If you want to go to the northeast industrial area, it is recommended that you take a detour from the suburbs. The hotel also offers a car rental service, with a wide range of vehicles available. The attractions of Ittly are also basically in the suburbs, with the Telfs Motor Museum, as well as the Fishermen's Building and the central street where the Fuxing Centre is located, all of which are very safe.'

Zhou Ming thanked him and gave him a little extra tip, and the waiter left with thanks.

After seeing the waiter off, Zhou Ming closed the door and turned around to ask, 'Zhang Lin, is there a problem outside?'

After entering the room just now, Zhou Ming noticed that Zhang Lin immediately went to the window to observe the outside. Although Zhang Lin has always been highly vigilant as a bodyguard, generally speaking, he would just check things in the room or look outside, but never like this, always looking outside for no reason. This made Zhou Ming curious.

'I don't know what to say, I always feel that there is something wrong with the taxi driver we just took,' Zhang Lin told Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming also went over and looked out the window. He saw a taxi pull up at the entrance, and judging from the model, it looked very similar to the one that had just dropped them off.

Zhou Ming thought about it for a while before saying, 'The worst that can happen is that we've been exposed. I'm prepared for that. The situation now is that we need to find out more about this Itely first. If we get caught, we can just let our hair down.'

With that Zhou Ming pushed open the window. 'Anyway, we're already in Itlay. Let's rent a car and look around. Some things can't be understood without seeing them for yourself. And we should also prepare the guns. After all, the taxi driver and the waiter both warned us to be careful.'

Zhou Ming In the past, Zhou Ming's knowledge of Itly stopped at the NBA team. He only knew that the team had just won the previous year's championship and that the city went bankrupt twenty years later.

Now Zhou Ming has learned a lot more information. He knows that Etrile is also a heavy industry city centered on the automobile manufacturing industry, and that the black community is constantly eroding the city. Now in the city more than 65% of the population are black, which has led to the city being filled with drugs and violence. This was the most important reason why the taxi driver and hotel receptionist had warned Zhou Ming so much.

Soon After renting a car at the hotel, Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin set off. They first went to the Great Wood Hotel, a very grand castle-style building, which made Zhou Ming feel that it was indeed the Wood family's flagship property.

In addition in addition to being a facade, Zhou Ming also knew that the Great Wood Hotel was also the location of the Wood family. Therefore, the hotel generally only has the front castle open to the public, and the large manor in the back is all reserved for the Wood family, just like the Quan'an of the Tang family and the Baishan Forest of the Adams family. It is the location of the family's central ancestral hall.

Just it took Zhou Ming a minute to drive around the entire Great Wood Hotel, so you can see the scale of the place.

Subsequently Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin drove towards the city centre. Although it was already late, they did not actually drive into the urban area, and they only drove around the outskirts of Orlando. Even so, it was still possible to see the extremely obvious line dividing the rich from the poor.

On the side the side closer to Orlando County, the streets are clean, the roads are tidy, and the houses are all arranged in an orderly manner. However, on the side closer to the city centre, there are only a few unoccupied houses standing standing alone by the roadside. There were all kinds of strange graffiti on the outside walls of the houses, and the road surface was also dirty. The rubbish on the road was blowing in the wind, and piles of rubbish had accumulated under many utility poles.

In addition there were also several cracks in the road surface, which looked like huge black pythons and were frightening to look at. It seemed like no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Continuing driving on, according to the markings on the map, they had already arrived at Kansas Commercial Street.

However the so-called 'commercial street' was just a name from the past. Most of the shops on this street are now closed, and only a few bars are still open. are invariably lined with black men, who stare unkindly at everyone who passes by. It is not difficult to judge from the noise coming from the bar what kind of place it is.

Suddenly the sound of gunshots came from not far away. The black men next to the bar door also immediately took off their guns and started shooting into the air while excitedly screaming.

Watching this apocalyptic scene, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. He remembered that in his previous life, he had read many articles saying that blacks had destroyed the city of Itely. At the time, Zhou Ming had just laughed, and he had not had the same intuitive feeling as he did now. You have to know that this is still Yatley, a place close to Orlando with relatively few blacks, and it has already become like this, so what about downtown Yatley? I'm afraid it's even more impossible to think about.

But at Zhou Ming had another question in his mind at this time, and that was what the Wood family was actually doing? How could they just let the blacks destroy the city of Itley like this? Or was there some other hidden reason for this?

Zhou Ming instinctively sensed the existence of a problem, but he had no idea what it was.

In the end Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. Faced with the late hour, he had no choice but to let Zhang Lin drive home first.

Zhou Ming was speeding along, and just as they were approaching the river that marks the boundary between Orlando and Itly, a shadow suddenly darted out from the roadside. Although Zhang Lin saw it in time and braked, they still hit each other.

'What's going on? Did we hit someone?'

Zhou Ming were both very surprised. They got out of the car one after the other and went to the front of the car. Sure enough, they saw a little black girl lying in front of the car, moaning.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Zhou Ming, who had past life memories. Zhou Ming then smiled helplessly. It seemed that he had also encountered a car accident, and it was on the other side of the ocean, caused by a little black girl.

With no choice, Zhou Ming said to her, 'How are you feeling? If if you're not hurt, get up quickly, I'll give you money.'

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, the little girl immediately got up and held out her hand to Zhou Ming, saying, 'I'm not hurt, just give me the money.'

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere became awkward. The little girl seemed to have woken up to the situation, so she immediately said, 'No, I'm hurt. you must compensate me at least 1,000 dollars, otherwise I will sue you. No matter how rich you are, you will go bankrupt then!'

Zhou Ming words made Zhou Ming laugh, but before he could say anything, the shrill sound of a police siren came from not far away. Zhou Ming looked around and saw two police cars driving out of Orlando.

Seeing the police car, the little girl obviously became scared. She said to Ming Zhou, 'Give me the money quickly, so I won't call the police!'

Ming Zhou asked meaningfully, 'Why don't you call the police? I think it's best to follow the procedure for everything, right? If I really hit you, it's not a big deal for me to pay you compensation...'

Zhou Ming hadn't finished speaking, the little black girl had already run off, and the police car arrived shortly after. Four white policemen jumped out of the car, shouting 'Stop!' as they drew their pistols from their belts and fired in the direction of the little girl's escape.

'Damn it! damn it, we let that little black bitch get away again!'

The four white police officers cursed and then put away their guns and walked back to Zhou Ming's side. The one in the lead looked up and down at Zhou Ming a few times and asked, 'What do you do for a living? What is your relationship with that little black bitch?'

'I I don't know her, I just drove back and she suddenly collapsed in front of my car.' Zhou Ming told the truth.

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, a white police officer immediately said with a smile: 'Asian, you should just drive over her, then we won't have to think of ways to catch that little black bitch!'

The lead the white police officer in charge also said, 'That little girl is a repeat offender here. She blackmails passing cars in this way every day. She is a very bad criminal! Next time you see something like this, please arrest her immediately and call the police.'

Zhou Ming nodded and said he understood, but when he and Zhang Lin got into the car and were about to go back to Orlando, they were stopped again by the four white police officers.

Facing Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin's confusion, the lead police officer said: 'What do you want? Please turn around immediately. No vehicles are allowed in Orlando at night. This is to protect the safety of Orlando.'

'Officer Officer, I think you must have misunderstood. I am not a criminal. In fact, I only arrived in Orlando during the day. I didn't know there was such a rule. Even my car belongs to the Gross Hotel. So I just need to go back. Officer, if you don't believe me, you can call the Gross Hotel and ask.

But the the white policeman waved impatiently and said, 'I said you can't go in, so what's the point of asking for proof? What's the point of that?'

Zhou Ming wanted to say something more, but at that moment the white policeman, even more impatiently, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Zhou Ming: 'I said you can't go in. If you still want to say something, I don't mind using this to communicate with you!'
