"end?"
Zhou Jinru repeated Silver Fox's question and looked at her with a strange look: "I'm not worried about how I'm going to end up. I'm more curious about how you're going to end up."
He clapped his fingers and said: "After the implementation of the Prohibition Act, Mr. Lin has overwhelmed the entire San Martin with the power of one person. His personal power will quickly reach the top in a short period of time. Sitting on a mobile city, it is easy to enter the Colombian political arena. You A former senior executive who has fallen out of power and was dispatched by Rheinland Life may never have a chance to turn around again."
Following Zhou Jinru's voice, Yin Hu's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You don't need to remind me of my current situation! But don't worry, I won't pester you any more. If I can't bring down that Ursus man in St. Martin, , and finally end up in that situation, I would rather commit suicide!"
"What would you like to write on your epitaph?"
Silver Fox's face was as cold as frost: "You don't need to worry about it!"
Zhou Jinru put away the frivolous smile on his face and said seriously: "I need some real support, support from Colombia. You know what I mean. Mr. Lin's implementation of the bill this time is using table-turning tactics, which naturally breaks down. According to many people's rules, Colombian officials will definitely not be willing to let an Ursus control the mobile city."
Silver Fox sneered: "Are you sure that Hugo and the others have failed now?"
"Minister Hugo is overthinking. What he is facing is not a law-abiding Colombian. Under that businessman's skin is an extremely ferocious Ursus bear. The alarm bell of the collector's death did not make them really realize it. Danger!"
While Zhou Jinru was talking, he reached out and turned off the TV that was counting votes, and stared at the dusty window. The dimly lit room seemed a little dull without the sound of the TV.
Just as Zhou Jinru had guessed, Edmond Hugo's face, who was sitting in the parliamentary seat, became increasingly uglier and gloomier. For some reason, the MPs he called for, although they had gathered around him before, were no longer interested in voting. There was an accident during the filming session. The number of votes in favor of the prohibition bill was overwhelming, leaving the opposition votes far behind!
"This is impossible!"
Under those gold-rimmed glasses, Hugo's eyes were red, his nose was slightly open, and his breathing became more rapid.
"Impossible! Why did so many people vote for it?"
Hugo looked at a congressman next to him. The other party also noticed his gaze, but quickly looked away.
That was a colleague who stood firmly by his side. Why were you so anxious to avoid his gaze?
Could it be... betrayal?
A scary word popped into my mind, as if it opened up a direction that I didn't want to guess.
betray!
Absolute betrayal!
With the huge difference in votes, none of the pre-prepared plans were used. Hugo's opposition party had vowed that only a very small number of people were in favor of the bill, and those who were wavering were also on the side of the opposition. , but why is the situation reversed now?
Hugo's eyes could almost spit out flames, and he shouted with all his strength: "Betrayal!"
His loud voice echoed in the venue, and his eyes swept over one former companion after another. Those who looked at him, lowered their heads, and avoided their eyes. The faces were pitiful, regretful, painful, and gloating. of.
"You throw the laws of this country to the ground and trample on them!"
His voice was soon overwhelmed by a louder voice: "Silence! Edmond Hugo, you have disturbed the normal order of the venue. This is not what a high-ranking official should do. Please sit down. What's the problem? Complaints can be made to Parliament later.”
Hugo stared at the lofty speaker opposite him, suddenly felt a tight breath in his chest, and collapsed on his back.
…
The noise on the street spread to the rental house. Zhou Jinru, who was sitting in front of the door, sighed softly. Behind him came the somewhat lonely voice of Yin Hu: "The bill has been passed. There is still some time before it is implemented. This time the opposition lost." It’s miserable.”
When Zhou Jinru confirmed that the collector died in the hands of Mr. Lin, he knew the other party's methods. Four words, cruel and ruthless. This move was a warning to the monkeys. A collector who refused to cooperate died. Who else is left? Are your heads stronger?
The way to deal with these Colombians is simple, tell them the benefits of cooperation, show them the consequences of refusing to cooperate, and the rest will be compromised.
Twenty minutes later, the takeaway ordered by Zhou Jinru arrived. The two of them had a simple meal and discussed what to do next.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the whole city of Saint Martin officially announced that the prohibition bill had been passed and would be officially implemented a week later. The people were in an uproar, and the demonstrations against prohibition intensified. Some people even used bottles filled with alcohol to make Molotov cocktails to attack the local municipal offices.
"The medical records you asked for have been recorded. Most of them did not go to the doctor, and the few that did show common symptoms such as colds."
Zhou Jinru took the phone, roughly scanned the list, and nodded: "It seems that the main target is still the assistant of Mr. Lin's personal doctor."
The sky was gloomy in the afternoon, a cold wind was blowing, and the temperature in early February was still very low. Zhou Jinru moved the chair back, closed the door, looked at the restless Silver Fox, and said curiously: "You just said you lost and committed suicide." Where’s the courage?”
Silver Fox stared: "You are so looking forward to my death?"
"Don't be angry. It's better to die than to live. Most of those who are grudges die early and only add to the laughing stock. I wrote a book when I was in Longmen, Thirty Years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi. Don't bully young people who are poor. Have you heard of the book? , as long as you live, you have a chance.”
It was so shameful that he became a copycat for once. A very small number of readers did not profit from it. It's not impossible, but they just didn't care about it. If they really wanted to engage in cultural invasion, it would be troublesome.
"You can talk about one thing after another. Aren't you very capable? The doctor from Rhode Island is invincible. Come on, show your skills."
Silver Fox hugged his knees and couldn't help complaining when he saw Zhou Jinru boasting.
"Wait a minute. We just need to wait patiently now. News of the passage of the Prohibition Act will soon spread throughout Colombia. Do you remember what I said?"
Zhou Jinru squinted his eyes and murmured: "This is going against the will of heaven. We have only won for a while now, and the wave of counterattack has not really come yet."
At 3 p.m., clashes broke out between small-scale demonstrators and the local police station in two neighborhoods in the outer city of Saint-Martin, resulting in several injuries.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, two originally hostile winemaking families in the Lavender District of Central City set up a long table in the city garden, opened their stocks and invited those who participated in the anti-demonstration to drink. Their actions resonated with more wine merchants and wineries. More drinks were brought to the streets, and people sat on the ground and drank to their heart's content.
At 4:45 pm, a department store in Brave New World in the Sunflower neighborhood of the outer city was ransacked by local Ussians. Their atrocities were quickly stopped, and things had just begun.
…
The inner city of Saint Martin, the center of Brave New World research in the poppy district.
"nailed it!"
Snow Pheasant took two steps back, looked at a hook on the workbench, nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and found that Gunter was in a daze. He had been uneasy since this afternoon, and even the new safety The agreement has not been written yet, and the team members are a little dissatisfied.
"Gunt, what happened to you today?"
The young man Sakaz came to his senses and forced a smile: "I went to bed too late last night. I'm really sorry. I affected the progress of the project by myself."
Xue Zhi closed his eyes, thought for a while, nodded and said: "There is no other way. The safety protocol can only be left to tomorrow. After all, I don't understand it very well. It's almost time to get off work. How about you go to the employee rest area? Rest and pay attention to safety, there is some chaos outside now, it’s best not to go back.”
"Thank you, but I still want to go back and rest, please."
Gunter bowed gratefully and quickly turned around to leave. The team members next to him looked at his leaving figure and said with some dissatisfaction: "He didn't take his work seriously at all. He didn't finish anything this afternoon. Look. What to do with the assessment at the end of the month!”
Xue Pheasant shook his head and consoled him: "It's something difficult. Let him go. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Miss Xue Pheasant, you shouldn't be going back today, right?"
Xue Pheasant sighed: "I won't go back. It's too chaotic outside. The research center is relatively safe. There is food and drinking water, and there is also a rest area for employees. If you can't go back today, don't go back. It's a mess everywhere."
Her call was approved by the team members. After all, no one wanted to be suddenly slapped halfway.
"What happened to Gunter today?"
After exiting the gate of the institute, Gunter hurriedly rode his bicycle towards the Central City. He could not hide his anxiety. He contacted his girlfriend in the afternoon when he learned that the prohibition bill was passed, but did not receive any response. He was always in a state of fear. He thought that he should have brought his girlfriend from that ghost place to the Rose District earlier.
He was deeply disgusted by the mess and bad environment in the outer city, and he did not force Jenny to move here because he respected her personal wishes. Now he felt extremely regretful.
"Don't let anything happen."
Gunter hurriedly crossed between the two districts and came to the Daffodil neighborhood. What he saw was a mess. The shops next to the building were looted. Many shops were smashed into a mess. The Brave New World stall that distributed the fountain was even more deserted, and goods that had not yet been moved away were scattered all over the floor.
Gunter had to get out of the car and walk, kicking away the source of water on the ground. He went to where his girlfriend worked. People pointed at him from time to time, but he didn't care about it.
Although he was very anxious when he came to Daffodil District this time, he still made preparations. Instead of wearing Brave New World work clothes, he put on a set of ordinary clothes, which were no different from those working as a wage earner. He couldn't do anything now. Reveal your identity and God knows what will happen.
"Jenny! Jenny!"
He stood at the door of his girlfriend's dormitory and shouted loudly, but got no response for a long time. But at some point, some malicious guys suddenly appeared in the empty factory area.
By the time Gunter reacted, he was already surrounded.
"Boy, it looks familiar."
Gunter retreated slowly. He was carrying the self-defense weapon issued by the research center, but there were many people on the other side. If he tried, he would be in danger.
"Brother, you have recognized the wrong person, you have recognized the wrong person."
But the other party sneered and said: "I recognize you. You were wearing a Brave New World uniform when you came here last time. Don't think that I don't recognize you after you change your clothes. Why, you banned alcohol and even came here?" "
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Gunter said loudly: "If you have any objections to the prohibition of alcohol, go to the city to talk to me. I am just a wage earner. Can I still get the prohibition bill returned?!"
"I don't care who you are, beat him and let him know who is the boss in this street!"
With a roar, more than a dozen people rushed forward. Gunter quickly pulled out the weapon from his arms, which was a self-defense stun gun, turned on the safety, and pulled the trigger on the first person who rushed up. The other person immediately started to tremble all over, and then collapsed. on the ground.
Although he had not received professional training, he had come out of that hellish place in Kazdale, so he naturally had some means of self-defense. However, it was difficult for him to defeat four people with just two fists. After knocking down two or three people, he was attacked from behind, and then seven Eight legs kicked him continuously, knocking him to the ground, and even the stun gun was taken away.
"Hey, hey, you brat, you think you can scare me with these things..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a strong figure climbing over the fence from the dormitory building opposite, jumping down from the second floor, raising her fists and throwing them at her. Her movements were as fast as a whirlwind, and her punches were even faster than a punch. Like a punch, several people were knocked down one after another. The group left Gunter and ran away without looking back.
"Thank you, thank you."
The young Sakaz man with bruises at the corners of his eyes struggled to get up from the ground and thanked the boxers who came to rescue him.
The other person raised his chin: "Hey, are you Gunter Rex?"
Gunter was stunned and asked, "Do you know me?"
This is an Ursus girl with very obvious features, and her rough way of speaking is also very different from most women.
"I know your girlfriend. She asked me to come here and said that you will definitely come to her. She is safe in the factory now. Since you are already here, I will take you to see him, otherwise you will definitely be arrested again. If you beat me, those people won’t let it go.”
Gunter quickly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you very much, otherwise I would definitely be dead today. Hey, I would like to ask, how do you and Jenny know each other?"
The Ursus girl said as she walked: "Oh, it's nothing. I came out of Sunflower Street and my money was accidentally stolen. Jenny gave me a box of lunch, and I promised to wait for you here for her. It's really fair. I can leave after I send you to the factory."
When Gunter heard this, he ignored the pain and asked quickly: "You have no money now, it will be dark soon, and the road is very unsafe. Can I hire you to take me home? I have a lot of money, you Make a price."
