Covina, Center Street.
A colorful arch was set up in front of a two-story building facing the street. The staff in front of the door held balloons and distributed them to pedestrians passing by.
At the main entrance of the small building, a bright brass nameplate was hung up by Brian himself.
The nameplate is engraved with a line of words - Bryan Ferguson campaign office.
After hanging the nameplate, Brian personally took some balloons and went to the sidewalk to distribute them to pedestrians.
He handed a balloon that read "Support Brian" to a passing woman.
The woman originally wanted to pick it up, but when she looked up and saw that it was Brian, she immediately retracted her hand: "Do you have AIDS?"
"No, I don't!" Brian He quickly explained, hating the four bastards who spread rumors even more in his heart.
Fortunately, Hawke reminded him. He took out two test certificates from his pocket and placed them in front of the woman for her to see: "This is a medical test from the Irvine Group, and this is a medical test from the University of California School of Medicine. The test showed that I don’t have AIDS!”
The woman glanced at it and took the balloon: “I really don’t have AIDS.”
This is a stupid idea, but Covina has a limited population and they are familiar with each other. As long as one person is willing to believe it, a dozen people around him may believe it.
Brian spent more than an hour sending out more than thirty balloons.
My mouth is almost dry.
On the top of the church diagonally across the road, two men were sitting, looking at Brian curiously.
One of them, Owen's younger brother Fowler, asked curiously: "Such a fool still wants to compete with you?"
Sitting next to him, Irving said: "Don't underestimate anyone. In Covina, we have the final say, but in Los Angeles, we can't compare with the Ferguson family."
At the same time, Edward drove The bulletproof Mercedes-Benz gradually approached Covina.
Driving down the highway, at the three-way intersection into Covina, Hawke saw a huge citrus.
The last time he came over, he hadn't seen it yet and asked Edward: "This thing was just built?"
Edward learned: "Irving built this thing specifically to build momentum for his campaign. It seems like citrus is Covina’s biggest industry.”
Hawke discovered that this huge citrus statue was painted brightly in orange and was a little reflective in the sun.
If nothing else, this thing really makes an impression easily.
The car drove into Center Street and saw a hot air balloon flying into the sky from a long distance, with a line of words written on it: Support Brian Ferguson’s candidacy for mayor!
This is a clear advertisement.
American elections are a show in themselves.
Hawke has been thinking about a problem these days, how to make this show more entertaining.
Although he thought of some different ways for Brian to restore his reputation as much as possible, one thing he had to admit was that in front of Irving, who had been elected mayor of Covina for two terms, Brian was accused of cheating on the test After the media rumors and news attacks about AIDS, its reputation deteriorated a lot.
The Mercedes-Benz quickly stopped in front of the colorful arch gate. Hawke opened the door and got out. Brian came up to him, hugged him and said, "When you come, I have a backbone."
Hoke glanced at the hot air balloon floating in the sky: "This thing is good, you can see it all over Covina."
Brian said: "Come in and chat."
< br>
The two entered the office building together. There were more than a dozen people inside, all members of the regular campaign team. The leaders were Bacon and Sandra.
The former serves as Brian's campaign manager.
The two men came over to greet Hawke one after another. They had cooperated with Hawke during the Waglen incident and knew that he was the key.
Now that Brian's reputation has been messed up, normal publicity can only play a limited role, so he can only find another way.
Suddenly, someone walked in quickly from outside and whispered to Brian: "Boss, Owen and his brother Fowler are here."
Brian walked out quickly, and as soon as he reached the door of the office, he saw Owen's big belly.
The two of them were smiling and shaking hands.
Irving looked past Brian and landed on Hawke, and he couldn't help but look at him quickly.
This man was wearing high-end casual clothes of an indistinguishable brand, a gold Rolex watch on his wrist, and was making a call with the latest Nokia mobile phone in his hand.
The appearance is not too outstanding, but the temperament is gentle and elegant.
Irving said to Brian: "Wouldn't you like to introduce me?"
"This is Hawk Osment, my good friend and the founder and CEO of Twitter." Brian was the two The person introduced: "This is Owen Nestor, the mayor of Covina."
Hoke confirmed that this was the target and took the initiative to step forward He took a step forward and shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Mayor."
Irving said with a smile: "I have heard a lot of people talk about you." He pointed to his somewhat vicious-looking brother: " Fowler is also your Twitter user."
Hoke nodded to Fowler: "Thank you for your support on Twitter."
There was a noise at the door, and Edward walked in carrying a bag and dragging a suitcase.
Hoke said to Bacon: "Help make arrangements."
Bacon hurried over to help.
Irving noticed it and asked tentatively: "Mr. Osmond is planning to live in Covina for a long time?"
Hoke said: "I particularly like citrus."
"I'll have someone give you some later." Owen achieved his goal and quickly said goodbye without stopping.
Coming out of the office building, he and Fowler walked towards the distance. Fowler said: "That guy looks ordinary..."
"If your brain is not working well, don't talk nonsense!" Owen knew that his brother was brave and foolhardy, so he reminded him : "How can an ordinary person develop Twitter to this extent? Chang Think about it."
He took out his cell phone, dialed a number, waited for the call, and said: "Grant, it's me, Owen, I just met Hawk Osment in Covina. He came here with his luggage and is obviously going to stay here for a long time.”
Grant on the other side asked: "He has passed?"
Irving said: "Not only are people coming, they are also helping Brian eliminate the negative impact of public opinion." He urged: "When will you come over?"
A little bit about Grant He pondered: "Now that Hawke Osmond has shown up, we will rush to Covina immediately. You prepare your accommodation in advance, and we will move in with our bags."
Irving responded: "I'll prepare it for you. Villa. ”
Downtown Los Angeles, Financial District.
The four of Grant simply packed up the office, brought computers and other office supplies, went to the hotel to pick up their luggage, and drove into the Toyota Alfa.
The car left the financial district and drove towards the entrance of the highway.
Not too far behind, to the left and behind it, several cars, including Campos, were mixed in the traffic and were following each other.

The news quickly spread to Hawke.
In the office on the second floor, Hawke said: "They will enter the highway in ten minutes."
Brian did not reply or hesitate, and picked up his spare mobile phone.
This is a life-and-death political struggle.
The deaths of Wallglen and Raiford last time had made him realize the cruelty of political struggle, and he could not be merciful in the slightest.
Otherwise, you will be the unlucky one.
Brian dialed a number: "Start taking action, chase them at the highway intersection, and kill them!"
Hoke saw him put down the phone, took it over and removed the signal card, took out the scissors, cut it into pieces, and threw it into the office He flushed it away in the toilet, wiped off the fingerprints on the phone, put it in a plastic bag, and threw it to Brian: "Dispose of it."
Brian nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that he was uneasy, Hawke said: "Gather people together and have a meeting. We must unify our minds on some things."
< br>Brian informed Bacon: "You, Sandra and Hubbard come to the conference room on the second floor to prepare for the meeting."
Hawke went out, called Edward, and asked him to go to the conference room.
On the other side, near the highway intersection, the Toyota Alphard was a little slower.
"Last time, our strategy failed. We didn't get rid of Hawke Osmond, and we also lost the chess piece Bella Thain." Sitting in the car, Grant warmed up in advance: "According to What we know is that Hawke is good at conspiracy, so we must be careful, but do a good job While taking precautions, we must also destroy him completely."
Hai Li is very worried about the previous failure: "Let me say, it would be best for him to be like Wallgren and Rayford."
One of the two men was shot dead by the FBI, the other committed suicide in Nassau, and both of them saw God.
Augusto said: "Let's find a good way to solve the problem once and for all."
Madison thought of a way: "Find his car, destroy his brake pipe, and make another one. He must quickly Rush back to Los Angeles."
Grant nodded: "Come with a complete plan."
The Toyota Alpha turned onto the highway, and there were slightly fewer vehicles at this time. , the speed gradually increased.
This expressway was built very early, the facilities are relatively old, and the number of monitors is very few.
A Western Star truck towing a heavy carriage also entered the highway and caught up with the Toyota Alphard in front of it.
The driver is an illegal immigrant. He has driven a bus in Guatemala for many years and has rich driving experience.
Under his control, this heavy truck flew at soaring speeds.
Soon, a Toyota Alfa appeared in front.
The two cars in front slowed down, and the Toyota Alfa left the express lane and came to the empty outermost lane.
The driver of the Western Star pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the car roared towards Alpha.
On Alpha, four people were still discussing how to get rid of Hawk Osment.
Hailey Field thought of a good idea: "Hoke attaches great importance to Twitter's director of operations, Caroline Jones. This woman is also said to be involved in the Waglen incident. We can help Caroline create A car accident caused her to..."
Before she could finish her words, a huge impact came from behind. Hailey Field, who was sitting in the back seat and forgot to fasten her seat belt, was thrown directly out. The man rolled and fell from the air, landing on the hard road with a clatter.
The Western Star heavy truck hit the Toyota Alpha from a specific angle. The Alpha was no different from paper. The A/B/C pillars of the vehicle were all deformed, and the car rolled off the road. There was also a The individual becomes a trapeze artist.
The car was like a crushed cardboard box, completely deformed by the collision and rollover.
The three people still in the car were all bleeding and unconscious.
Western Star drove forward for a while before stopping.
On the side of the road, the door of a Ford sedan, which is very common in California, opened.
The driver of the Western Star jumped out of the car and got into the Ford.
The car drove away at lightning speed, turned off the highway from the front, changed cars in a warehouse under an overpass, and pulled the driver all the way south, exiting California from Chula Vista and entering Tijuana.
The driver withdrew the remaining balance in cash and gave him a ticket that he had already prepared. He waited until the driver's flight to Argentina took off before taking another flight to Japan and South Korea for a vacation. (End of this chapter)
