Chapter 395: The Worst Encounter

At 10 o'clock on the morning of May 20, 1991, Zhou Ming was driving his car on the highway towards Harvard University. Although it had been a long time since Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin had left Brighton, , but all the routes in Brighton were still clearly etched in Zhang Lin's mind. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ming arrived at Harvard University, but he did not stop and drove directly to the Quincy restaurant.

On the way, he passed the Business School and looked at this great college, which is known as the jewel in the crown of Harvard University. Zhou Ming felt a little emotional, because if he had been born in a previous life, he would have been able to enter here to study and get a Harvard University diploma, which would have been a beautiful thing to dream about. However, now, it is all dispensable.

Indeed, when one is in a different position, the scenery one sees and the thoughts one has naturally change as well.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Ming arrived at the Quincy Restaurant ten minutes later. The Quincy Restaurant is the oldest building on Harvard University's campus and was the legacy of a certain lord. As a former Harvard student, this was not the first time that Zhou Ming had been here. Once, Zhou Ming and his female homeroom teacher, Jie La, had also been here, and they had met a 'Nordleiman'. Zhou Ming still felt suspicious about that encounter.

However what concerns Zhou Ming more than the past is the present, because Zhou Ming is not sure whether his guess is correct.

The reason Zhou Ming is here today is the answer he deduced from the Adams family's targeting of Co-Yi Company.

First is the word 'Ke Yi', which is the same as the one you chose, 'Trefen'. Both are coded words that are pronounced, and 'Ke Yi' is pronounced 'ke yi' in Mandarin, which means Caitlin agrees to meet.

Since agreed to meet, the next thing to figure out is the location and time. However, this kind of operational code obviously cannot be used too many times, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, the best way is for Caitlin to hide all of this in the answer.

In fact is exactly what Caitlin did. Quincy's Restaurant, as Coe's largest and most important customer, would undoubtedly be the location given by Caitlin; as for as for the two court summonses from the Addams family that seemed to have gone wrong, one for $520 and one for $1,200 in debt, it was time, 12:00 noon on May 20th.

This was Zhou Ming first reaction after getting the answer, and after repeatedly considering this answer and constantly verifying the whole thing, Zhou Ming could not find a second answer.

It has been four years. he wondered what it would be like to see the doll-like girl again. Could it be a trap? Had she prepared someone to arrest me? Or had she simply recruited me as a concubine? Like the monk Xuanzang?

Zhou Ming thought . Suddenly, a commotion broke out nearby. Zhang Lin hurriedly took Zhou Ming under his wing, which made Zhou Ming a little confused, but then Zhang Lin's next words made Zhou Ming's heart sink: 'Governor Edwards is over there, it seems to be some kind of event.'

'Shit! Could it be that unlucky? Shouldn't he be at MIT for an event today? Why did he suddenly change his schedule? This is the worst encounter ever!'

Zhou Ming whispered and cursed. Today, Ming Zhou knew that Edward was going to come to the university town to attend an event, but according to the itinerary, he was supposed to be at MIT. Ming Zhou felt that he shouldn't be so unlucky, and now it seems that he was just thinking too much. And more is that Ming and Lin are right in front of the Quincy Diner. It's an open area, and there's nowhere for them to hide.

The first reaction was to hide, for sure. This was like a meeting with an ex-girlfriend: if you can hide it from your current girlfriend, you should. It wasn't about betrayal, but about avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings. Not to mention that Edward had been so adamant and strongly opposed to it before, and Zhou Ming had never expected to run into him, so the encounter here now was naturally the worst thing that could happen.

'What do we do? He must not have seen us yet, so should I go first to protect you? There are so many reporters, so we'll be lucky if he notices us,' asked Zhang Lin.

Zhou Ming shook his head: 'Look, there's absolutely no cover here. Do you expect our governor to be blind? Besides, can't gamble on luck with something so important!'

Zhou Ming said, stood in front of Zhang Lin, took a deep breath, then stood there with a smile waiting for Edward to come over.

He was very clear that if he turned around and sneaked away with Zhang Lin, Edward would see it and suspect that he was up to no good. Although Zhou Ming knew that he hadn't betrayed him, he couldn't let Edward think that either.

Moreover, the most important was that he was acting with integrity, so why would he need to sneak around?

It was this thought that made Zhou Ming feel that instead of sneaking away, he might as well face Edward head-on. After all, Edward was attending the event, and he probably wouldn't care about the details.

Zhou Ming slowly calmed down, and even took the initiative to wave to Edward, saying, 'Honourable Governor, I am very honoured to meet you here.'

In fact, Edward had seen Zhou Ming in the first place, but he pretended not to see him on purpose. First, as the governor attending the event, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for him to take the initiative to say hello? Second, he wanted to see Zhou Ming's reaction. After all, it is the instinctive reaction of every evil person to feel guilty, and Zhou Ming's sudden appearance without saying hello to him was too strange, so Edward couldn't help but think more.

However, now Zhou Ming's initiative to greet him was clearly unexpected, and it made him unable to pretend any longer.

'Hey! Isn't this Mr. Zhou Ming? I never expected to run into you here, this is really a surprise!'

Edward responded to Zhou Ming responded to Ming, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Edward was surprised to suddenly encounter an old friend, but in Ming's eyes, the acting of this governor was a bit clumsy.

It seems that he did notice me. Fortunately, I didn't chicken out at the critical moment. If I had really run away, I would have been in big trouble!

Zhou Ming secretly rejoiced in his heart. After all, no matter when, trust between teammates is very important. Once trust is lost, then really anything can fly out. Perhaps now Brighton's situation may not be that important to Zhou Ming anymore, but to fail so inexplicably and then return to San Francisco with his tail between his legs is definitely not Zhou Ming's style.

After sorting out his own thoughts, his thoughts, Ming was also surprised and said, 'So that's it? I didn't expect it either, because I came here to keep an appointment. Governor, as you probably know, I studied at Harvard University in the past.'

Edward then expressed a look of 'so that's why'. He then explained to the person next to him that Ming Zhou was a friend of his. After all, Edward, as the governor of Massachusetts, would be surprised to suddenly run into someone he knew when attending an event.

'Governor seemed to be very busy, so I won't disturb you. We can get in touch again after our respective engagements are over.'

Zhou Ming was about to leave after saying this, but Edward suddenly stopped him: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, please wait. How about we have lunch together?'

When Edward Edward's words not only stunned Ming Zhou, but also surprised all the accompanying staff there, because no one expected Edward to say such things.

'Governor should be attending some event over there, which seems inappropriate,' said Zhou Ming.

One of the accompanying staff members there also said, 'Yes, Mr. Governor, although I understand that it is very rare for you to meet your very good friends here, but haven't we already made an appointment for lunch? And you promised. Here I can assure you that as soon as our event is over, we can reserve plenty of time for you and your friends. What do you say?'

Despite all the persuasion, Edward remained stubborn: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, is there something inconvenient about you?'

Zhou Ming kind of seen that this Mr. Governor is not going to give up until he gets what he wants. Although when Ming Chow thinks about it, he doesn't think he's said anything that would give him cause for such such a big suspicion, but now that he has already said this much, if I still don't promise, I won't believe it myself, so let's just play the part to the end!

Having strengthened this confidence, Zhou Ming spread out his hands: 'There is no inconvenience on my side, as long as your activities don't get delayed.'

Over there, Edward Edward gave Zhou Ming a reassuring look, and then Edward turned his head and said, 'I'm very sorry, teachers from the education sector. I suddenly thought of something very important to discuss with my friends, so our lunch will be cancelled for the time being.'

When Edward said this, there was an instant uproar, and everyone looked at Edward in disbelief, thinking that this was simply unthinkable.

Edward then then said, 'Of course I know that this is very wrong, so I have decided to promise you that I can make an appointment in the near future to give a speech in each of your schools as compensation. Is that okay?'

This remark once again took everyone by surprise, because they didn't expect Edward to offer this in exchange. They knew that this was a rare opportunity to hear a speech by the governor, so what was the big deal about a lunch?

So the immediately nodded in agreement, one after the other. Compliments such as 'Mr Governor, you're too kind', 'this is a rare gathering for you and your friends, so it must be more important for you' and 'Mr Governor, I look forward to your speech' were flying about.

Zhou Ming was very helpless. He didn't expect Edward to be so determined, and he didn't expect those entourage members who had obviously been stood up by Edward to were so easily bought. At least you should have been more determined, then things would have been different for me, wouldn't they?

Zhang Lin next to him also looked at Zhou Ming, his eyes seemingly asking him with some concern what he should do.

As Zhou Ming bodyguard, Zhang Lin was smart enough to know the situation Ming was in. He also knew that if Edward saw Ming secretly meeting Caitlin, it would be very bad for Ming.

Ming smiled and whispered to him, 'Never mind, since he is so determined to attend this lunch, let him come. Anyway, I've never thought that I could rely on people I don't know to help me out of a difficult situation, because I feel that I'm more reliable than they are!'

Zhang Lin was stunned. Compared to Edward's determination, he never imagined that Zhou Ming would be even more determined. Without thinking of any other solutions, he just took Edward to meet Caitlin? He simply didn't dare to think about what the outcome would be.

In the end, Zhang Lin could only let out a long breath and take things one step at a time. After all, he could not read Ming's mind, and Ming was always capable of doing unpredictable and amazing things. No matter no matter how difficult the situation is, he can always rely on his wisdom and courage to turn it around. This time, it is clear that he will continue his legend.

In short, no matter what happens, I will always protect his safety!

This is Zhang Lin's very simple and honest thought.
