"I'm Zhou Ming, something happened to me recently..."

After pressing the answer button, the voice coming from the microphone shocked the host and the audience.

The Rubik's Cube Emperor Zhou Ming appeared.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, where are you now? Can you come over right away to participate in the show? Can you get to the show recording site within half an hour?"

Jiang Changjian said to the microphone that at this time he didn't want to dwell on the reason why this Rubik's Cube master disappeared for nearly a week. He only hoped that he would come to the recording site as soon as possible to participate in the recording of the show.

"I'm very sorry, I'm in Hangzhou now, and I can't make it to NJ in a short time... Today's show challenge, I can't finish it in time, I'm sorry again!"

Zhou Ming said in an apologetic tone, it must be too late to ask him to record the show now, Hangzhou is nearly 300 kilometers away from NJ, and it takes more than two hours to arrive in NJ by any means of transportation... "The Most Powerful Brain" has hundreds of people Would the staff and thousands of spectators wait so long just for him?

However, after the chief director Wang Yunqing grabbed the microphone in the host's hand, what Wang Yunqing said into the microphone surprised not only Zhou Ming on the other side of the phone, but also everyone at the recording site.

"Mr. Zhou, we can wait for you for two to three hours, and wait for you to come to NJ from Hangzhou to participate in the recording of the show! As long as you can come, even if you wait another three or four hours, it's fine, as long as You can come here yourself!"

Jiang Changjian quickly pulled Wang Yunqing, and whispered in his ear: "Director Wang, just now we have announced that he has given up the game automatically, and the four or five thousand spectators at the scene have heard it, so you called him over to the game again, let So many people have been waiting for him for hours, this..."

However, Wang Yunqing gave him a hard look: "We have to wait until dawn! Lao Jiang, this is the only turning point for our "The Most Powerful Brain". Now only the Rubik's Cube King can let the audience give us another chance. ...We can’t mess this up any more! The most important thing now is to save the situation! The paragraph you just said can be cut out, leaving only a small part for the audience. First, arrange for the special guests to go down and have a good rest. The program will continue in a few hours. record!"

As if grasping the last straw, director Wang Yunqing pinned all his hopes on the "Rubik's Cube Emperor" who was ten thousand times more powerful than Jia Liping.

"All right……"

Jiang Changjian nodded and understood that this was indeed the last chance for the show "The Strongest Brain" to turn around, so he explained it to the four to five thousand viewers at the scene. Unexpectedly, most of the viewers, They all expressed their willingness to stay and participate in the recording of the show, waiting for the Rubik's Cube Emperor to come over.

Zhou Ming from Hangzhou said on the phone that he would rush to NJ as soon as possible, then he packed up a little and left the house to find the fastest way to NJ.

It is impossible to take the high-speed train to the train station, because after 10 o'clock in the evening, the high-speed trains will stop running, and the ordinary trains are slow. With the waiting time in between, it will take four or five hours to arrive. Railway transportation should be eliminated first.

Not even taking a plane. Taking a taxi to the airport, waiting in the waiting room to board the plane, and then taking a taxi to the Tianhe Stadium after getting off the plane may take more time than taking a train.

He could only take a taxi on the side of the road and take a taxi directly from Hangzhou to NJ.

Zhou Ming hailed several taxis in a row. When he heard that he was going to NJ, which is 300 kilometers away, the drivers shook their heads. One driver said he could take him there, but he said he would pay 5,000 yuan before doing so.

"Five thousand is five thousand. You'd better drive faster. We'll be there in three hours!"

Zhou Ming got into the taxi. After a while, the cell phone in his pocket rang again. He took it out and saw that it was Su Yuxiang.

Swipe to answer, Zhou Ming said to the phone: "Professor Su, this is Zhou Ming..."

"Zhou Ming—!"

First there was a long scream of more than 100 decibels, and then a rapid voice said: "Zhou Ming, where have you been these past few days? I have called you countless times and no one answered. You go there often. I can't find anyone even if I look for you everywhere... Don't you know that I've been so anxious to find you these past few days?"

"Professor Su, why are you looking for me? Is there anything important?"

Zhou Ming was confused, because the one with the most missed calls on his mobile phone was actually from Su Yuxiang, almost every half an hour. Zhou Ming was not sure why she called him. So many calls.

"you……"

The person on the other side was furious and said in a crying voice with great grievance: "You heartless person, the police called me and said that you were missing recently and asked me if I knew where you were. I didn't know where you lived." I went with the police to look for you everywhere, but couldn’t find you... Do you think there are people like you? You don’t even say hello when something happens, and you don’t take your phone with you. When people look for you, you still ask them Why are we looking for you...you are so annoying!!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it..."

Zhou Ming apologized repeatedly, and it took him a while to calm down the agitated woman on the other side of the phone. After asking about the cause and effect, he found out: Because he could not be contacted for a long time, the "Most Powerful Brain" column team called the police to look for him. The police retrieved his cell phone call records and called Su Yuxiang. After learning about this situation, Su Yuxiang also joined the team looking for Zhou Ming. For four consecutive days, she could not eat or sleep well, and was restless. , I took out my mobile phone and made that call whenever I had free time. I couldn't even concentrate in class, and made several jokes in front of the students.

How did I become like this?

Su Yuxiang, who had never been obsessed with someone to this extent, asked herself this. He was just an ordinary male friend with ordinary appearance, ordinary education, and ordinary financial conditions. But for some reason, when she learned that he suddenly disappeared, she suddenly became so flustered.

Just now, Su Yuxiang was filled with ecstasy when she finally dialed the phone number. After hearing that lukewarm rhetorical question, her ecstasy instantly dissipated, leaving only endless complaints and grievances.

She felt so cold that she just wanted to hang up the phone and cry.

However, seeing that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Su Yuxiang still couldn't bear to hang up the phone and listened to his explanation.

On the phone, I learned that he had recently suffered from a strange "headache". When he was in a coma at home for six days, Su Yuxiang exclaimed: "I have been in a coma for six days, my God! Are you okay? Where is your home? I will go to your home." Look, I'll take you to the hospital!" Six days, most people would have died at home if they were comatose for such a long time, right?

Zhou Ming said that he was fine and was taking a taxi on his way to NJ to participate in the recording of "The Strongest Brain".

"You idiot, why are you participating in "The Strongest Brain" at this time? Where are you? Get off the car and wait for me somewhere, and I will drive you to the hospital! For such a big man, life is more important than money. It doesn't even make sense!"

While complaining on the phone, Su Yuxiang took her car keys, stomped downstairs and walked towards a parking space in the green belt.

Zhou Ming still said no, insisting on going to NJ first to participate in "The Most Powerful Brain". He couldn't keep thousands of people waiting for him. Su Yuxiang heard his insistence and told him to come to her first. If she was sure that there was nothing wrong with his health, , and then she drove him to NJ. If he didn't listen, she would treat him as a friend and would never care about him again.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to obey and asked the taxi driver to turn around. About twenty minutes later, the two met at an intersection under a viaduct.

"Zhou Ming, you, why are you so thin? You..."

When she first saw Zhou Ming, the woman's mouth was half open and she almost didn't recognize him. It had only been seven or eight days since she last saw him, and yet he was so thin.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's leave quickly. We'll talk about it in NJ first. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid the audience across the country will be offended."

Zhou Ming jumped on the spot a few times to show that he was fine. Su Yuxiang couldn't pull him to the hospital many times. Seeing his persistence, she had to say: "Then I will send you to NJ first. After participating in the program, I will take you You go to the hospital for a checkup."

"Hey, young man, you haven't given me the money yet. It's five thousand yuan. Regardless of whether you go to NJ or not, I must pay every cent of this five thousand yuan. This is what we agreed before!"

The taxi driver grabbed Zhou Ming and refused to let him go without paying him!

"Okay, five thousand is five thousand, I'll transfer it to you right away." Zhou Ming, who didn't want to waste time, took out his mobile phone.

"Don't give it to him! I've traveled a total of more than ten kilometers, and you dare to ask for five thousand? You don't even need fifty. I have a hundred here, which is enough for you to burn gas." Su Yuxiang stepped forward and took out the money from her bag. He took out a piece of Grandpa Hong and wanted to send the driver away.

"No, no, absolutely not! It must be five thousand, not a penny less!"

"Why don't you go and grab it? One hundred, do you want it? If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will call the police and complain to your company's customer service, saying that someone is driving a car and ripping off customers!"

"I'm ripping off customers? Do you agree with me? Is this called robbing customers? Anyway, I made an agreement with him, five thousand, it's five thousand! If you want to call the police, call the police, and I'm not afraid of you complaining!" The driver said confidently.

"Okay! Even if it's five thousand, do you have a recording in your hand? Is there any evidence that he is going to NJ? What evidence do you have to prove that he said that?" Su Yuxiang pulled Zhou Ming to the driver and asked.

"you--"

The two quarreled and went back and forth for dozens of rounds. The quarrel got louder and louder, and Zhou Ming's head got bigger and bigger. Watching the time pass by, Zhou Ming quickly took out the only 500 cash he had. He handed it to the driver and said, "Is five hundred dollars enough? Master, please leave quickly. I'm in a hurry. Don't argue with her anymore."

Before the woman intervened, the middle-aged driver snatched the money away like lightning, slammed the car door, stuck his head out and said, "Young man, is this your girlfriend? That's awesome, young man, this kind of woman can live a good life." Hurry up and marry her back home!"

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and left the car behind for the two of them.

Zhou Ming shook his head. He didn't notice the woman's pretty face that was flushed under the dim street lights. He got into her red Porsche with her, sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and the woman also kicked her. I turned on the accelerator and quickly drove the car onto the highway. With a driving style completely unlike that of a female driver, I drove towards NJ City at the maximum speed allowed on each road section in the express lane...

I'll try to write it faster. I'll see if I can get another update tonight.
