52 Rescue the Man in the Iron Mask
Quinn and Sarah were indeed on their way to the Los Angeles Music Center. Due to heavy traffic, they had to get out of the taxi three blocks away and walk there.
Taking a taxi to the venue is something even an eighth-tier star cannot do. No matter how poor you are, you have to rent a cheap Mercedes-Benz from a car rental company to take you there.
It's a pity that this pair really did it.
The two of them have no assistants, and their agent is no longer around. Quinn Bai's agent Mike Kirk can't take care of her, and Sarah's CAA agent is still in New York.
No one reminded them how to do it. They each rented a dress, put on their own makeup at home, and rushed to the Oscar dinner.
After the two got out of the car, they followed the direction pointed by the taxi driver and walked through Grand Park to the entrance of the music center.
Not long after walking, Bai Quinn found many people gathered on both sides of the park trail, many of them holding cardboard placards and small rainbow flags.
After walking a little further, I saw a large group of people queuing up again. The people queuing up were mainly black people, with a few Latinos and Asians occasionally included.
A guy with a microphone was maintaining order. Someone at the end of the line was carrying a black bag, and he was constantly taking out scattered cash from it and giving it to people in line. Another person was asking people who had received money to sign and register, and there were also
Several strong black men protected them and drove away those who wanted to approach from other directions.
Bai Quinn only took a second look when a strong black man ran over angrily and shouted to drive him away.
Bai Quinn, who was confused about the situation, was too lazy to argue with him, and quickly left along the trail while protecting Sarah.
After walking for a while and almost leaving the park, there were faint sounds of arguing and shouting from behind the trees beside the trail.
In line with the mentality that more is worse than less, Bai Quinn still protected Sarah and moved forward, but just as the two of them were throwing the bushes behind them, two women's screams came from behind the bushes.
Bai Quinn stopped, hesitated for two seconds, and said to Sarah: "Follow me, I'll go see what's going on."
Sarah nodded, grabbed the hem of Bai Quinn's dress, and followed him around behind the trees.
"Does anyone need help? Hey! Is anyone there?"
Before Bai Kuin's people arrived, the sound came first.
"Help, come and help him!" A female voice with a strange accent came from behind the tree.
Then another woman cried: "Help!"
Chinese?
Bai Quinn quickened his pace and walked around the bushes. He saw four people beating a young man beside the park wall. The beaten man fell to the ground and covered his head with his hands. Two Asian women dressed in ordinary clothes were hiding behind them.
The people on the wall not far away were crying in panic, but they couldn't help. The cry for help just now was made by them.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Bai Quinn and Sarah, the attacker temporarily stopped. A shirtless, thin black man walked towards Bai Quinn with arrogant steps and yelled at him, telling him to get out.
The two Asian women saw the person coming and wanted to sneak away along the wall, but were stopped by another attacker who took a few steps forward.
Bai Quinn first protected Sarah behind him and said loudly: "What happened here?"
Then he turned around and whispered: "Sarah, call the police!"
One of the Asian women was in a relatively stable mood and shouted to Quinn in heavily accented English: "They are robbing, that gentleman, help us and get beaten!"
Sarah hid behind Bai Quinn, tremblingly opened her small handbag, took out her Motorola, and pressed 911.
The shirtless black young man saw Sarah's actions and rushed over with a single stride, trying to snatch Sarah's cell phone.
Seeing this, Bai Quinn hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and hit the black man on the chin with a swing of his left arm.
This place was sandwiched between the trees on the roadside and the backlight of the park wall. The lights were dim at night. The other three people only saw the shirtless black young man suddenly stop. It was not until he staggered down that they realized that their companion had been beaten.
At this time, Bai Quinn had already started to move, first rushing towards the guy closest to him who was intercepting two Asian girls.
A "jaw-crushing kick" learned from "Heartbreak Kid" Sean Michael accurately hit the chin of the black man who was still in a daze. In addition to a crunching sound, there was also a sound of clothes tearing.
Bai Quinn ignored the coldness in her crotch and immediately turned around and rushed towards the other two people.
The guy standing in the front stretched his hand to his lower back, which was a gesture of drawing a gun. Bai Quinn knew that only by leaning forward would he have a chance of winning. He took two steps on the ground, jumped up suddenly, and grabbed the gun-drawing man's shoulders with both hands.
Legs and knees raised...
Before the man took out the gun, his shoulders suddenly sank and he was held down by Bai Quinn, and then his flying knee hit his chest.
Bai Quinn landed, pushed him to the ground, put his knee on his back, and reached for the gun hidden in his waist...
Unexpectedly, when I touched it with my hand, I only found a switchblade in the back pocket of my jeans.
Phew...a false alarm.
Looking at the fourth person again, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He didn't dare to go around the bushes from the direction of Bai Quinn. He could only bite the bullet and dive into the bushes, and screamed strangely when he was pricked by sharp branches.
Bai Quinn took control of the situation within a few seconds. As the screams faded away, Sarah's alarm call had just been connected.
The two Asian girls had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape, so Bai Quinn had no choice but to lift up the beaten white young man and let him sit in the corner to rest.
The beaten guy gradually recovered, struggled to stand up, and thanked Bai Quinn.
It turned out that the white young man who was beaten, like Bai Quinn and others, heard the girl's cry for help and came to help, but instead he was surrounded by four people.
Four black youths had just snatched the wallets of two girls before he arrived.
There were many police officers outside the Los Angeles Music Hall not far from the park to maintain order. After receiving the call, they rushed over very quickly. After only 5 minutes of waiting, two teams of police officers arrived.
The police first checked the injuries of the three black men and found that one of them was more serious. They called an ambulance for them, then separated the family and asked what happened.
At this time, Bai Kui found out that his dress had been torn in many places. The dress was too slim and the threads had exploded under Bai Kui's violent arm swings and kicks. How should he attend the award ceremony now?
The party afterward!
However, he soon learned that he would definitely not be able to go to the party. Two of the three black youths were slightly injured and one was seriously injured. The guy with the knife had broken ribs and punctured his lung.
This is considered a serious injury. Until the situation is understood, none of them can leave. They will all be taken to the police station for investigation.
The reporters squatting at the entrance of the Los Angeles Music Center, before waiting for the breaking entertainment news, caught up with a social news, chasing police cars and ambulances and filming wildly.
Bai Quinn and the beaten white young man were placed in the same police car. The young man sighed and spoke slightly, "Oh, my first night in Hollywood is gone. I was looking forward to meeting a certain girl."
It’s time for a romantic encounter.”
Looking at Bai Quinn, who was also wearing a dress, the young man said: "It seems that you are the same, my name is Edward Norton, thank you for your help!"
Hearing this, another memory fragment flashed in Bai Quinn's mind:
A man with a metal mask covering his whole body tightly, riding on a horse, raising his chin slightly. Although his face cannot be seen, people can still feel his pride and majesty. Behind him, there is an endless stretch of the Middle Ages.
Dressed up army.
