"You mean Ranran asks you for help?"

The girl said in surprise. She looked Zhou Ming up and down a few times, obviously not believing Zhou Ming's words, because when she thought that Tang Ran had chosen to ask for help, even if the person to ask for help was not an elder, he should at least be a capable person. Moreover, Tang Ran also told her that person was a very powerful person, but no matter how Zhou Ming looked at him, he was just a young man under 30 years old. What could he do?

With Zhou Ming's experience, he certainly understood what the girl was suspicious, so he then said, "My name is Zhou Ming. Ranran did ask me for help through others. You don't need to doubt this, or the police don't believe it anyway, so it's okay for you to tell me the matter, what do you think?"

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, the girl realized that it was impolite for him to be so suspicious, so she immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, my name is Xiaoxue. Actually, I don't doubt you."

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "I believe in this very much, so let's find a place to talk about it first."

Xiaoxue nodded and said yes. Then they came to a teahouse at the intersection of the street. Zhou Ming asked for a private room. When they sat down, Xiaoxue immediately said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I am really sorry, but I really don't mean to doubt you. I just think that such an important thing may tell her family first. I don't know what your relationship is with her?"

This question really stumbled Zhou Ming because he and Tang Ran didn't seem to have a deep relationship.

But this was not a problem. Zhou Ming immediately said: "My relationship with her is a bit complicated, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. But you can just believe that I am the person she trusts the most. Otherwise, she would not first remember to ask me for help after she encounters trouble, and I would not immediately find your address by the number when I receive her help."

Xiaoxue was stunned at first when she said Zhou Ming's answer, then her eyes lit up and said, "Yes! She looked for you without even notifying her family. She must trust you very much. And you can find my house based on a phone number, which proves that you are not an ordinary person either!"

As he said that, Xiaoxue was embarrassed and threw up her tongue and said, "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have suspected you just now, but I believe in you 100% now!"

Zhou Ming was a little helpless. It turned out that birds of a feather flocked to each other. The girl with Tang Ran’s best is indeed a bit cute. Doesn’t she remember what she said just now that she didn’t doubt?

However, Zhou Ming didn't care. He said: "It doesn't matter. Just be honest, why are you so sure that Ranran was kidnapped? Just because I woke up this morning and found out that she was not in her room?"

"This is only one aspect, because although Ranran has been to San Francisco, she is still unfamiliar with the place here. It is impossible to walk around alone. At most, she just walks and runs nearby. But she seems to have never come back when she went out to run last night." Xiaoxue became very upset when she said this, "It's all my fault. I know she is not familiar with her here. I should turn off my job and come back to run with her. Maybe this will not happen. It's all my fault!"

"Xiaoxue is not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself. You have your job, and you can't expect that she didn't come back just after going out for a run, right?" Zhou Ming comforted her and said.

But facing Zhou Ming's comfort, Xiaoxue shook her head desperately and said, "No, it's not like this. I have obviously guessed that something might happen to her, and she has asked you for help, right? I should be able to think of it, or at least I shouldn't let her go out, because I have a gun at home. According to San Francisco law, if someone dares to come in, we have the right to kill him!"

Zhou Ming frowned seriously. It wasn't that he would blame her after listening to Xiaoxue's words. After all, she also has her job, so it makes no sense to ask her to look at Tang Ran 24 hours a day. But what surprised Zhou Ming was another point: How could they have a premonition that something was going to happen? Tang Ran also sent a message of help from Su Han.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Xiaoxue: "Wait for Xiaoxue, I'm very curious here if you know someone is going to be unfavorable to Ranran?"

Xiaoxue nodded and said yes. This answer made Zhou Ming frown even more powerful, but Zhou Ming restrained his emotions and just asked: "What happened? Can you tell me the whole book after finishing it?"

"No problem." Xiaoxue sorted out her thoughts and said, "Actually, this matter will start from last week. At that time, Ranran ran away from home and went to San Francisco. I wanted to take her to relax, so we went to Fisherman's Wharf in the north, but I never thought that it was the worst decision I had ever made in my life, and it also made Ranran kidnapped!"

"Fisherman's Wharf is a very famous attraction in San Francisco. There is no problem with your decision. Is something happening?" Zhou Ming asked.

"We met gangs there," Xiaoxue said.

This answer surprised Zhou Ming, but he did not interrupt Xiaoxue's memories, but just raised his hand to signal her to continue.

"That morning, I took Ranran to Anchorage Plaza to go shopping and ate Dengjies crabs at noon, but I felt that her interest was not high, so in the afternoon I took her to Pier 39 to see the sea lion. I originally thought that the stupid sea lion would make her feel better, but I didn't expect that on Pier 39, we met people from the gang."

Recalling what happened that day, Xiaoxue felt very regretful. She continued: "We were watching the sea lion that day, and someone came to chat with Tang Ran and said he wanted her contact information. I didn't want to pay attention to such a person, but he kept chasing Tang Ran. I couldn't bear it and scolded him, but he said that even if we didn't give it to him today, he would definitely find us."

"What then? Have you left Fisherman's Wharf?" Zhou Ming asked.

Xiaoxue nodded and replied: "Yes, that day, the atmosphere brought by the sea lions was completely destroyed by the disgusting person. Later, I took Ranran back, but who knew that when Ranran and I were running nearby that night, we met that person again. He said he was looking for Ranran."

"He is looking for Ranran? Is it here in this entire Chinatown?" Zhou Ming asked in surprise.

"I think he should be a gang on Chinatown. He saw that we are also Chinese, so he wanted to keep looking for Ranran here. Isn't his purpose just to find Ranran?" Xiaoxue said, "That day, Ranran and I went back in fear, but the next day, Ranran met him again. I don't know what he said to Ranran, so when Ranran came back, he called you for help."

"The things have reached this point, and that person must be evil with Ranran. I shouldn't let Ranran go out for a run alone. I shouldn't have it. It's all my fault. I think Ranran must have been bullied now! But if she is really bullied, then I will be the biggest bad guy and the one who is most sorry for her!" Xiaoxue said and cried sadly.

After listening to the whole thing, Zhou Ming felt confused. Although it sounded like a story where they met a gang member, and that gang member fell in love with Tang Ran and then looked for Tang Ran every day to kidnap her, as long as he thought about it, it seemed that it was not like this. In short, Zhou Ming's head was filled with mud, as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point.

In the end, Zhou Ming had no choice but to comfort him: "Xiaoxue, don't be sad first, maybe things are not as bad as you thought."

After Xiaoxue stopped crying, Zhou Ming continued to ask her: "Do you still remember any other clues? For example, the name or something."

"Name?" Xiaoxue frowned and thought for a while and suddenly said, "I remember, his name is Hoover!"

But after saying the name, Xiaoxue seemed to suddenly remember something and asked tentatively: "But what can I do if I know the name? Mr. Zhou Ming, can you know the local gang?"

Regarding this question, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and replied: "This is my first time in San Francisco. I definitely don't know the local gang, but I really know one of the Chinese people named Hoover. But that guy doesn't seem to be a gang, but from the financial system."

Zhou Ming's answer made Xiaoxue very discouraged, but the second half made her overjoyed: "So do you know Mr. Zhou Ming? That's great. Then Mr. Zhou Ming, please give it a try first. Maybe it's that Hoover? Do you know that gangs nowadays are lending loans, so maybe they themselves claim to be a financial system?"

Xiaoxue's words made Zhou Ming a little amused. I think that Tangren Bank is also a very influential Chinese Bank in the United States. Mr. Hoover is also the branch president of the Brighton Branch of Tangren Bank. When Xiaoxue's mouth became a gang who gave usury loans. I believe that if Hoover himself knew about this, he would probably have the heart to kill him.

But on the other hand, Xiaoxue is right. No matter whether it is Hoover or not, it is always right to ask first. Moreover, it seems that the headquarters of the Tangren Bank is in San Francisco. With his status as the branch president, perhaps there may be some tricks here, but it is always right to ask.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Xiaoxue: "You are right. Maybe it's really like you said. If I know this, I will deal with it immediately. You go back first. If there is anything else, you can call me. This is my mobile phone number."

Zhou Ming said and wrote his cell phone number to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue was surprised to find out, "So you have a cell phone? Then, if you have a cell phone, why don't you call the Hoover you know directly? Ranran is still in his hands! Don't let Ranran be bullied!"

Zhou Ming was originally planning to call after Xiaoxue left, but now Xiaoxue has said that, and it would be a bit unpleasant for Zhou Ming to drive her away, so Zhou Ming had to take out his cell phone and dial Hoover's number on the spot.

"Hello, President Hu, I am Zhou Ming. I am now in San Francisco. I remember the last time you said you went back to the headquarters to report your work, right? So when I thought of you, I called you, are you going back to Brighton now?" Zhou Ming asked.

Hoover was a little surprised when he received a call from Zhou Ming: "Is that so good? It turns out that you are in San Francisco. I am still in San Francisco now, but I may be a little busy recently. I don't know how long you will stay here. After I have been busy for a while, I will definitely invite you to drink. You may not know that the bar at Fisherman's Wharf is very good!"

Zhou Ming laughed and said yes, but Xiaoxue was very anxious because Zhou Ming did not mention Tang Ran’s incident at all on the phone, so she gently pulled Zhou Ming’s sleeve.

Zhou Ming made a gesture to reassure her, and then asked: "President Hu, since you are also in San Francisco, I will be in the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. I hope you can help."

"I think it must be a very troublesome thing to let Zhou Ming call you. Tell me what's wrong. As long as it's not too difficult, I can solve it for you." Hoover said readily.

"That's right. I have a friend named Tang Ran. She seems to have caused some trouble..."
