Chapter 1100 The means of the mayor of San Francisco
San Francisco, Mayor's Office.
At this moment, the mayor of San Francisco looked solemn, with a look of confusion on his face. It had been nearly half a month since Li Zhen came to San Francisco. Up to now, Li Zhen still showed no sign of leaving San Francisco, or in other words, Li Zhen had not made any move. The mayor of San Francisco found it very strange. The calmer Li Zhen became, the more strange he felt there was.
What's the trick here?
The mayor of San Francisco scratched his head and ears, thinking about Li Zhen's purpose.
"Dong, dong,."
There was a knock on the door and the mayor said: "Come in."
The door opened and a thin middle-aged man walked in.
This person's name was Gullit, who was the mayor's secretary. After Gullit came in, he bowed slightly, then sat down straight in the office, with his chest drawn and his back straight, looking meticulous, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Your Excellency, Mayor , today’s news has come back, Li Zhen is still staying at Dading Restaurant in Chinatown, without any movement or sign of leaving.”
"It's really strange. What's going on?"
The mayor frowned and sighed.
If Li Zhen stays in San Francisco for even one day, the mayor will be under tremendous pressure because Washington has been urging him.
Unfortunately, he didn't find Scott.
Gullit changed the topic and said calmly: "Mayor, I have a guess."
"Say." The mayor nodded.
Gullit's expression was even more serious, and he said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "During this period, I have been thinking about the reason why Li Zhen did not leave. I think that the reason why Li Zhen did not leave is because Mr. Scott has not arrived in San Francisco yet. As for Li Zhen being unable to take action, when Li Zhen and his men took the train to San Francisco, the army had already searched Li Zhen and his party, but Scott was not found."
"Based on the current situation of Li Zhen not leaving San Francisco, when Li Zhen left Washington, his troops were divided into two groups. Among them, Li Zhen and his soldiers were in one group. This group was to attract everyone's attention, including the guidance Mr. President's attention prevented anyone from paying attention to Mr. Scott."
"On the other side is the Scott family."
Gullit said: "Scott did not dare to take the train in order to avoid being caught. Because of this, they were traveling very slowly and have not arrived in San Francisco yet. In this way, they could keep Li Zhen in The reason why Chinatown did not leave was clearly explained, and the whole matter was sorted out."
"yes."
The mayor was beaming and extremely excited.
He waved his hand and said: "Immediately impose martial law on all roads and monitor them closely."
Gullit shook his head and said, "Mayor, you can't do this."
"Why?" the mayor asked.
Gullit said: "If you send soldiers to enforce martial law, Li Zhen will definitely find something abnormal, and Mr. Scott may come sneakily. By then, they may be fooled by them and escape our search. I I believe that the current status quo should remain unchanged, and then secretly send people to monitor the roads from various states to San Francisco. Once Scott enters San Francisco, he can immediately capture it."
The mayor nodded and praised: "Well said, just as it should be."
Both of them were very motivated, thinking that Scott's family had not arrived, but they did not expect that Scott had already arrived.
This was something they could not expect.
Gullit was very happy to be praised and continued: "We secretly arranged to set up spies on various roads leading to San Francisco. At the same time, we also need someone who can help us openly. Let’s find out about Li Zhen.”
"Who?" the mayor asked.
Gullit said: "Former Mayor Mr. Powell."
The mayor frowned and said, "Reason."
Gullit explained: "Powell and Tang Huaide have a very good relationship. As long as you invite Mr. Powell here, show affection and understand him with reason, I believe he will be very willing to help us and be willing to solve the federal problems."
The mayor frowned and said, "Go and make arrangements and ask Powell to come to the office."
"yes."
Gullit turned and left with a smile on his face.
He went to convey the order, but it didn't take long before Powell came in a hurry.
After seeing the mayor, Powell leaned forward slightly to show respect, but his expression was calm and he said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Your Excellency, the mayor invited me here, what can I do for you?"
The mayor handed a glass of water to Powell and said: "Mr. Powell, drink water."
Powell said: "Thank you, Mr. Mayor."
The mayor smiled and said: "There is one thing that needs Mr. Powell's help now. News came from Washington that Li Zhen took the former federal commander Scott away. Now, Scott has not arrived in San Francisco, and Li Zhen Zhen was also waiting for Scott to arrive in San Francisco. After the two sides met, Li Zhen would take people away. Mr. Powell should understand Mr. Scott's identity. It is unreasonable for him to follow Li Zhen to China."
Powell said: "I am just an ordinary citizen now and can't stop it."
The mayor smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Powell, please rest assured. I have no intention of asking you to stop Scott from leaving. The purpose of asking you to come is to let you go to Chinatown to visit your old friend Tang Huaide from time to time. That's all."
Powell heard this and understood.
A smile appeared on his lips and he said: "Your Excellency, Mayor, your idea will definitely fail."
The mayor frowned and said, "Aren't you going to go?"
Powell shook his head and said: "No, the mayor is wrong. I am willing to go, but Tang Huaide is an old fox and very cunning. Even if I am in front of him, there is no way I can get any usable information."
The mayor laughed and said: "It depends on human effort."
Powell said: "Okay, I agree, but there is no guarantee of any results."
After finishing speaking, Powell left the mayor's office and walked towards Chinatown. When he arrived in Chinatown, he went straight into Dading Restaurant. When Tang Huaide saw Powell coming, he was very happy and said with a smile: "Mr. Powell, what?" The wind actually brought you here. Did you get something good and wanted to show it off in front of me?"
Powell hugged Tang Huaide and said: "I want to show off, but unfortunately I don't have anything in my hand." After a pause, Powell said: "The mayor found me and asked me to come to you to inquire about Scott. However, I I don’t intend to get involved in this matter, so I tell you directly, and you just treat me as if I don’t exist and let me stay away when something happens.”
Tang Huaide said: "It's okay, whatever you want."
Immediately, Tang Huaide asked someone to greet Powell, and then went about his business. However, Tang Huaide also had a thought in his mind, asking people to pay attention to Powell's movements. After all, there are people's hearts apart, and what if Powell said one thing and did another.
