Chapter 1 The rough start
With the rumbling engine roaring, a small passenger plane landed at Charles Long Island Airport. As the cabin door opened, Zhou Ming and Caitlin got off the plane one after another.
Feeling the hot wind blowing outside, Zhou Ming said to Caitlin: Virginia is worthy of being a southern state. It is much hotter than the cooler than the one in Brighton. This place makes me feel like I’m back to my hometown in Jingchu.
Caitlin's statement about this is simple: maybe it's just because of the similar latitudes.
Then they walked out of the airport and called a taxi. Perhaps because there were fewer tourists here, the young black driver said enthusiastically: Welcome to the beautiful Long Island of Charles, please believe me, the beach here is definitely more satisfying than the large bathtub of ten thousand people in the south, especially the honeymoon trip of newlyweds. You are so talented.
Listening to the enthusiastic words of the black driver made Zhou Ming and Caitlin a little embarrassed. Although they both expressed their thoughts to each other, they were still embarrassed to really talk about marriage and started chatting with the black driver enthusiastically.
Later, the black driver stopped talking about honeymoon trip, and Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he was about to speak, Caitlin spoke first. She also said with emotion: I thought we would set off at the end of the month as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to go now.
This is the best portrayal of the plan not keeping up with the changes. I didn't expect that President Walsh would come to me yesterday. In fact, I also wanted to learn more about the outside world before going to go, so now I have to take a step by step. Zhou Ming said.
Their purpose of coming to Charles Long Island was to go to that outside world, and according to Caitlyn, there was a dedicated port leading there from here.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ming is going to the outside world today, it is indeed beyond the plan. Perhaps since his rebirth, Zhou Ming has become more and more confident in doing anything due to his cross-age relationship, but he has not been blindly arrogant to this point. The reason for this is nothing more than President Walsh's initiative to visit yesterday, and the domestic call from Mr. Yang in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Yesterday, President Walsh basically didn't talk about anything else. He pointed directly at the outside world from the beginning and condemned the rich people who belonged to the church in front of him to rotate wealth between the church and his pockets through charity, and asked about his and Caitlyn's future plans.
This performance is no longer too obvious. Zhou Ming probably can make Walsh so anxious. Obviously, some changes are happening in the outside world, and he urgently needs to join this variable as soon as possible.
So what changes will happen to the outside world
Zhou Ming guessed that the most likely targeted the church and the rich and nobles affiliated with the church. After all, the church occupied too many resources and enjoyed too many privileges, which made the later rich and powerful people very dissatisfied and wanted them to give up their positions.
To put it in the simplest analogy, wealth is a sweet cake. Everyone wants to taste it, but the table with the cake has been filled with the church and his confidants, making it impossible for those who later come to be late. If you want to eat, you can only turn the table over and the other way, either stop eating, or add another person to give up some cakes.
Of course, this may also be a trap. Walsh deliberately told himself that he could enter the outside world early.
However, this possibility is very low. It is not that the church does not have this ability. Zhou Ming believes that if the church is really like Caitlin introduced, he will definitely have the ability to let the US president preach this, but there is no need for this. Zhou Ming can't figure out what the purpose of Zhou's ceremonies is as big as the church fee.
Perhaps he hindered the Dota plan, changed the direction of the Gulf War, sniped the pound, taught the Big Wood family a lesson, and even alarmed the US president.
These things are amazing for ordinary people, but they are only for ordinary people. In the eyes of organizations like the church that controls the world, they are still not enough. Maybe just by just a few tricks, they are not as good as their agents. Why do they have to specifically set traps for themselves? Besides, their wealth is not attractive enough to them.
Therefore, Zhou Ming thought about it and thought that he should go to the outside world as soon as possible. After all, Zhou Ming was confident but not blind. With the size of the church, without the help of others, Zhou Ming believed that he would not have any chance.
So last night, Zhou Ming called Caitlin and asked about how to go to the outside world. Then this morning, Caitlin took Zhou Ming on the first flight to Charles Long Island. This Long Island is a city and a region. It is a long and narrow peninsula in Virginia. According to Caitlin, there is a port here, and there is a boat here that allows you to go to the outside world.
The airport was built by the sea, so in just half an hour, they arrived at the port that Caitlin mentioned.
This Charles Port looks no different from an ordinary small port, but after seeing Quan'an Island of the Tang family, Zhou Ming would not underestimate this so-called small port that is not very good-looking.
Perhaps the Tang family is imitating this place, because there is a special passage here, and it is not allowed to enter here. However, when Caitlin took out a cross, the security guard immediately let it go.
This is a special medal of our Harrusburg family, used to represent our identity. Caitlin said to Zhou Ming.
Then Zhou Ming and Caitlin were taken to the lounge. After this, Zhou Ming was convinced that the San Francisco Tang family had learned the trick from the outside world.
But at this time, a tall white man in a suit walked in with several security guards and walked straight to Zhou Ming and Caitlin: Dear gentleman, beautiful lady, hello, I'm very sorry to bother you, I'm the port manager Albert, are you going to the outside world by boat?
Caitlin nodded and said yes, Albert stretched out his hand again: I know you all have proof, I don’t know if you can show it and let me verify it again
Caitlin frowned and asked strangely: Why have many people pretended to be 26 nobles recently taken a boat outside from here?
Albert smiled and replied: Of course not. In fact, if it is not for the Thirteenth Descent or the 26th Noble, it is difficult to know here. Those who know here do not need to pretend. I am just for the sake of safety. Here I can say sorry to you first. I believe that beautiful ladies will definitely have a tolerant heart. Can they understand it?
Although Caitlin was still confused about Albert's behavior, he had already put it to this point, and it was just a check. Caitlin took out his medal and handed it to Albert.
Albert took the medal and kept it in his hand and recognized his identity with just a glance: it was the medal of the Harrusburg family.
That's right, I'm the first heir to the Harrusburg family. My name is Theresia Caitlin f Harrusburg. Caitlin specifically said his name to remind him.
If it wasn't an accident, it would be enough here, but I didn't expect that after Albert listened to Caitlin's words, his gentle expression immediately became cold: the medal is real, and the hidden letters of the Harrusburg family are also f, but that is already a thing of the past. Now, you are no longer qualified. Beautiful lady, please leave here immediately.
This sudden change made Caitlin confused at the time. She couldn't understand what happened: What happened? Why did I lose my qualifications?
Sorry, beautiful lady, I am just the manager of the port. My duty is to identify every gentleman who goes outside, without giving each gentleman the answer. Albert then raised his hand and pointed at the door, and now he only asked you to leave. You are all noble gentlemen and beautiful ladies. I think we should be more elegant.
Caitlin wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming shook his head at her. Obviously, judging from Albert's performance, he could not be able to be compatible.
Caitlin gave up, and she also extended her hand to Albert: Please return the medal to me.
Albert shook his head and said: I'm sorry, this is not possible, because you have been disqualified, so we will naturally take back this medal.
Before Albert finished speaking, he was replaced by a heart-wrenching scream because he had already grasped his wrist and then pressed his fingers, and the medal fell from Albert's hand, and was caught and handed over to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming handed over the medal to Caitlin, and then said to Albert: I don’t know who you are instructed. You can stop us from boarding the ship, but you can’t just take other people’s things casually. I don’t know what this is for you, but in some countries, you are going to be sold out.
I don't know what you are saying, I'm just performing my duties, why do you dare to do this to me, and I will not let you go, Albert shouted.
Although Albert did not admit it, Zhou Ming could see the panic in his eyes clearly. Then Zhou Ming took Caitlin to leave. Albert wanted to shout something, but he let go of his hand and sat on the sofa, saying to him: Don’t move randomly, your hand will regain consciousness in ten minutes, but if you move randomly, your hand will only be amputated from now on. This is Chinese Kung Fu.
Leaving this sentence also followed Zhou Ming and Caitlin's footsteps, leaving Albert sitting there and not daring to move. He didn't know if what he said was true, but he could feel his arm was paralyzed and he was about to lose consciousness.
Outside, Zhou Ming and Caitlin had left the special passage, and the security guards were at a loss because they did not have Albert's orders and didn't know what to do.
Unexpectedly, you really scared that guy. Zhou Ming smiled and said to him.
He also smiled and said: It's a small matter, he doesn't understand the acupoints at all. I just pressed down his numb tendons.
Well, it seems that the unknown fear is still very useful. Zhou Ming said.
However, our journey was also very bumpy, and it was just now that we had such a big situation. Caitlin also said.
