"Why is the governor of Arkansas playing the saxophone on TV again? Is he involved in the professional entertainment industry now?"
The plane arrived in New York, and Ronald and Douglas Jr. met up. At the airport, they discovered that the young and handsome governor was on the evening show again, performing a saxophone solo for the audience...
"Hey, I understand now that a politician's job is not to formulate policies, but to please the people and win the next election." Little Doug shook his head and laughed. Not only the governor has begun to prepare for the general election four years later,
And George Sr. is also building momentum for re-election.
No, this time the DEA under the rule of George Sr. has successfully cracked down on the FourteenK drug trafficking group in Xiangjiang, and now it has asked George Sr. to contact Ronald to continue to expand its influence among the people.
All people related to FourteenK will be monitored by the DEA and other powerful agencies. These people entering America, or countries that have close cooperation with America, such as Canada, Britain, etc., must undergo strict scrutiny and are often refused visas.
This executive order issued by the Commander-in-Chief is a marketing project that Ronald wants to do - "Commander George Sr. makes American communities safer." Not only did he dismantle a billion-dollar drug smuggling ring, he also eliminated
The possibility of these criminal gangs entering America to cause trouble in the future.
This is the subject of one promotional video, and another is about banning guns to make communities safer.
Strong supporters of General George Sr. are veterans and the military-industrial complex. One of their demands is the monopoly of the arms manufacturing industry in America and its allies. NATO's bullet standards were formulated by America.
This time, the commander-in-chief took advantage of the major FourteenK case and cooperated with members of Congress who also represent the interests of the military-industrial complex to pass legislation that prohibits the sale of foreign-made automatic rifles to the domestic market.
This is not an easy thing to do in America with the Second Amendment.
Therefore, there must be a reason to implement this bill in order for members of Congress to raise their hands to pass it. Otherwise, passing a bill that is suspected of violating the Second Amendment will make them appear incompetent under the attacks of gun owners’ interest groups.
How glorious.
This amendment was passed very early, and was finalized by Thomas Jefferson, the founding father who was then secretary of state. He compiled the text like this: "A well organized militia is necessary to the security of a free country.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms (the right of the people to keep and bear arms) shall not be infringed.”
In order to pass this bill banning the import of firearms and feeding domestic firearms manufacturers, it was necessary to go through the interpretation of the Supreme Court justices, and then it was determined that the Arms mentioned in the Second Amendment were used by the militiamen back then, and
A single-shot rifle that is about as long as an arm, rather than an automatic rifle that can splash water as soon as you press the trigger. (America has always called machine guns automatic rifles.)
The commander-in-chief and senators, who were short of excuses, were overjoyed when they saw FourteenK's case file. Didn't this come to their doorstep?
Immediately, this bill will be proposed on the grounds of protecting DEA agents and maintaining community safety. Because these foreign organized criminal organizations smuggle imported illegal drugs, they are escorted with automatic weapons produced by foreign countries, and these are prohibited.
The emergence of weapons in the country is just conducive to the increase in the firepower of the American people, and weakening the force of these foreign criminals is a win-win legislation.
Therefore, the theme of the second advertisement that George Jr. asked Ronald to produce was the automatic weapons that the commander-in-chief banned from importing to make your community safer.
When Ronald heard Douglas Jr.'s explanation, he burst into laughter. The minds and logic of these politicians were really flawed. But the people didn't understand these twists and turns, and thought they were doing it for their own good.
It doesn’t matter how much effort politicians put into legislation, as long as it is widely spread among the people, who allows them to enjoy the protection of legislation?
Anyway, little George suggested to Barbara that the generous sum of money and government allocation budget sent to Ronald could be regarded as a small reward for Ronald's great help during the election.
Ronald didn't think much about it, so he invited Eddie, the general manager in New York, and asked him to negotiate with several directors from Daydream, one for each of them, and they could use it as a training practice to earn extra money.
…
After his father entered the White House, little George became a popular figure in Barbara's eyes, and he was almost as trusted as his younger brother Jeb.
He will have to wait a few days this time before coming to New York to officially sign a contract with Ronald's Daydream.
Ronald just went home to rest for a few days and had a family dinner with little Doug and Donna. Aunt Karen was laughing from ear to ear. Her daughter's boyfriend was Ronald's high school classmate, a local squire.
Isn’t it just the ideal marriage that a white mother in the countryside dreams of?
"I'm going to stay in my apartment in Manhattan for a few days. I still have some company matters waiting for me..." After a day of rest, Ronald proposed to go back to Manhattan. Donna rolled her eyes and flew over, definitely to find Helen Slay.
Very special. Alas, I pity my good friend Diane.
"Go, child, you come back to visit aunt from time to time. I'm already very happy." Aunt Karen didn't care about Ronald's female friends. They were all big directors nominated for Oscars twice, and there were several female stars.
What's wrong with my female friend? She has read a lot of Hollywood celebrity biographies recently. Which person's love history doesn't take up more than half of the biography?
Anyway, Ronald is not married yet...
"By the way, the New York mayoral election is about to begin. My grandfather asked me to ask you, which candidate will you support?" Seeing Donna's expression, little Doug deliberately interrupted and asked Ronald about the upcoming election.
Perspectives on the mayoral election.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My personal lawyer, the teacher of the partner of Lindsay Dole's law firm, and the Attorney General of New York, Mr. Rudy, are also running for election.
I will support him..."
"Great, our Staten Island Chamber of Commerce has also decided to support his candidacy..." Douglas Jr. was very happy that Ronald stood with him. Anyway, Staten Island has always supported Elephant Party candidates.
…
"Helen..."
"Ronnie..."
Helen was dressed very smartly today, wearing a white sports coat around her waist, tight sports pants, a pair of white running shoes, and a headband on her head. She has paid more attention to her body shape recently, in order to prevent recurrence
I tend to be anorexic, so I use jogging more to burn calories.
When a couple has been together for a long time, they always find something to do. This evening, she and Ronald went for a jog and a walk. The two had a great time along the trails in Central Park.
The accelerated heartbeat and secretion of endorphins caused by running made the two of them look at each other more passionately.
"Hey... do you want a videotape?" A black man's voice sounded, but he was not wearing the kind of coat that people who sell pirated videotapes often wear.
Central Park is a sacred place for exercise for surrounding residents. Many rich girls from the Upper East Side and rich kids from expensive penthouses in the south often come here to jog.
But in recent years, the upper-class parks that were supposed to be quiet and safe have gradually become filled with people selling illegal drugs, selling pirated video tapes, and some black or Latino teenagers who came from nowhere.
Angry, the kind who also whistles at pretty girls.
"Beep..." A very loud whistle sounded as expected. The black guy, with his muscles all tense and his eyes red with anger, made an obscene move towards Helen.
"Hey, blonde girl, come here and try mine...it's much better than your boyfriend..."
"Be careful with your words..." Ronald stared at him and stepped forward to protect Helen, asking her to leave the center of the conflict first and lower the heat.
"Hey, where are you from? You are not nobler than us, white man!..." As he said this, the black man came up and pushed Ronald.
"Hey... don't cross the line..." Ronald pushed against the opponent and used wrestling techniques to control the direction of his force. Then he looked back and saw that Helen was far away from here. He quickly pushed out and stepped back.
You and Helen must leave the place of right and wrong.
The black man staggered when Ronald pushed him, and immediately whistled, attracting several companions.
"We don't have any grudges, okay?" Ronald looked around and looked at the black accomplices gathering from behind him. He quickly took a few steps back. The sky was dark and there were big trees blocking him. Ronald was very careful.
Look around and don't be flanked by anyone from behind the tree.
"Are you scared now? Why don't you let your girlfriend play with us?" Seeing that there were so many people on his side, the black man immediately rushed up to beat Ronald.
Seeing that something was not going well, Ronald quickly ran a few steps towards Helen, picked her up and started to run away.
"Hey..." The black man rushed forward and approached Ronald.
"Run...", there was a dull sound, the sound of metal rebounding after being squeezed, and the sound of friction between the blade and the handguard...
"Shxt!" When Ronald heard this sound, he knew something was wrong. It was the sound of a switchblade. He took off Helen's coat from her body, put it on his hand, and went towards her.
"Pfft..." The blade of the knife tore through the jacket, and was stirred up by Ronald's hands before getting tangled in the jacket. The opponent couldn't close the knife in time, so he stabbed it randomly a few times, but Ronald used his strength and the knife was tightened.
The tightly wrapped coat was snatched away.
"Pa..." Ronald exerted force on the opponent's ankle, and then pulled on the opponent's shoulders with both hands, causing the opponent to fall to the ground. This fall was not light.
"Run..." Ronald didn't dare to fight with these little bastards. He didn't deserve to get into trouble by fighting with these underage and bloody rotten people who were destined to die.
"Ah..." Helen saw that Ronald's hand seemed to be injured and bleeding, and she screamed in fright, then picked up Ronald and ran away.
…
"Are you okay?" After getting the news, little Doug and Donna hurried to Ronald's apartment on Fifth Avenue. Ronald was being questioned by a black NYPD detective there.
On his side was Helen Slater, and on the other side were private attorney Lindsay Dole and several senior attorneys from her law firm.
"I'm fine..." Ronald waved to them.
"Oh, Ronald..." Donna's sharp eyes saw the bandage on Ronald's hand.
"It's okay. When I grabbed the knife, I was slightly scratched by the blade..." Ronald smiled to himself. The move just now was made by him at Shichahai Sports School and Hua Hua there.
A veteran of Chinese wrestling learned it, and unexpectedly used it to save his life today.
However, I had not practiced this kind of street fighting technique for many years. When I used it, I did not protect my palms. My coat was cut by the opponent's blade and my palms were injured.
"Oh my God, Ronald. You should hire a bodyguard..." Little Doug said seriously. With Ronald's wealth and status, there should really be some professionals to protect him now.
"I'm a movie director, why do I bring bodyguards with me when filming..." Ronald thought I was fine, "Why are there so many aggressive and aggressive young people in Central Park now?"
"Hey, many illegal immigrants in the south have no jobs or income when they arrive here, and they can only sleep in the free Central Park at night. There are also many illegal drug dealers who also use this place as their place of business..."
"Hey...", Ronald thought to himself, it seems that the policies of the old General George are really needed.
"My client still needs to undergo a medical examination. In addition, he has said enough and is a model citizen who cooperates with your work. What you need now is to catch the criminal suspect, not harass my client here..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lawyer Lindsay saw that the NYPD was endless and continued to ask Ronald the same questions over and over again, and immediately interrupted to intervene.
"Okay...please don't leave New York in the near future..."
"My client is a famous director in Hollywood, and the nature of his work does not allow for a long-term stay..."
"I'm just following the rules..." the black detective shrugged.
"Do I need to apply for a court order?" Lindsay Dole knew that after hearing Ronald say that a black young man had attacked him, he began to understand all the details in detail, and immediately responded professionally to let him
Get lost.
"Thank you, Lindsay..." Ronald was bleeding, and he was a little tired after another high-intensity fight and running.
"No, this is the service you deserve for paying the legal fees... We will go to the NYPD to continue to pursue this matter, and we will also file a complaint with the Attorney General of the Southern District of Manhattan."
"You scared me to death..." After the lawyer and the detective left, Doug sat down and looked at Ronald from side to side before letting out a sigh of relief.
"My mother is worried to death..." Donna looked at the hospital's diagnosis and let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ronald didn't hurt any muscles or bones, only a very shallow cut.
"You have a good rest..." They both saw that Ronald was very tired, so they also said goodbye and left.
"Ronnie..." Helen came over and hugged Ronald's head into her arms, "I'm so scared..." There were still tears in the corners of her eyes from crying just now.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Ronald touched Helen's arm with his uninjured hand to comfort her.
"I'm worried about you... Wuwu..." Helen's eyes turned red again, "What should I do if something happens to you?"
"I want to be your Katharine Hepburn, but you can't die early like Spencer Tracy... Oooh... you scared me to death..." Helen hugged Ronald and started crying again.
"Hey..." Ronald understood what Helen meant. She wanted to maintain a relationship with another star Tracy like Hepburn did back then, even if Tracy was married. When they were in New York, they would live together.
Together, but not staying together forever.
This is a unique Hollywood-style relationship in which the woman maintains the relationship quietly and does not seek marriage.
It seems that Helen has high expectations for herself and wants to be the successor of Katharine Hepburn, who has won the Best Actress title many times.
But Ronald knew that she didn't have this talent.
The two of them are indeed not suitable for marriage. If they live together for a long time, they will argue because of their differences in opinions about performances and movies. But if they don't see each other for a long time, they will miss each other again.
It's another thing if you can't find a bodyguard, but Helen and Diane, your two female friends, still have to find bodyguards to protect them. What if something happens?
After a rare opportunity, she helped Ronald wash up and then helped him go to bed to rest. Helen sat on the edge of the bed and watched Ronald without saying a word.
"By the way, you have to change your house. You can't go jogging in Central Park anymore. It's become very unsafe there now..."
"I won't go back, but why do you want me to move?" Helen's current small apartment was bought with her own salary, and she likes this house very much.
"Stop arguing, I don't want you to take any more risks. Midtown Manhattan (where Helen's apartment is located) is not very safe now. Times Square is full of fireflies, and there are more and more drug dealers appearing. They are all dangerous.
I don’t know what the mayor did with the taxes we paid..."
"But……"
"ah……"
Helen, who was still arguing, saw Ronald screaming because of the wound, and swallowed her words again. This is nothing... isn't it just living in a good house?
"Some time ago, the developer here called me and said that there was a low-rise high-rise apartment for sale, so I bought it and you can live here. There are many fitness facilities here, and you don't have to go downstairs.
You can buy a lot of food and clothes..."
"But..." Helen was startled, the houses here are not cheap.
"Please don't say no, Helen. You can live here first, and then you can move to another safer house, otherwise I won't worry..."
Although Helen was moved, she still didn't want to live in such a luxurious house. She didn't object now, she just hugged Ronald's back until he fell asleep first.
"Ring ring ring..." The phone rang, and Helen answered the call outside.
"It's okay, Diane, he's okay, he's asleep now..."
The call was from Diane. She heard about Ronald's accident and was frightened to death.
"Is this how you take care of him? It scares me to death... As long as it's okay..."
…
Ronald woke up the next day and heard the sound of Helen watching TV outside.
"Yesterday, a young female runner was attacked in Central Park. It is believed that the police believe that she was attacked and violated by multiple people.
She was knocked down while running at night, dragged nearly 300 feet off the road, and violently assaulted. About four hours later, she was found naked, covered in mud and blood, lying on 102nd Street in Park Grove.
In a shallow ditch about 300 feet north of the intersection.
The first police officer who saw her said: "She was beaten worse than anyone I've ever seen beaten. She looked like she had been tortured.
The victim suffered severe brain injury and may be unconscious. The NYPD has not yet confirmed the identity of the victim. Anyone with clues can call the phone number at the bottom of the screen..."
"Shxt!" Ronald pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom, "You'd better move quickly..." Ronald picked up the phone and was about to call the real estate developer to buy the empty house.
"Oh..." Helen stopped talking. If she had gone running alone yesterday, she might have suffered a similar tragedy.
"It is believed that many joggers and cyclists were attacked by multiple people yesterday. The NYPD is launching an investigation. They want to know who the victim is and whether other cases are related to this intentional injury..."
Ronald put down the phone and heard this piece of news again. No wonder the NYPD detective asked so detailed questions yesterday. It turned out that it might have been done by the same group of people.
He and Helen looked at each other. Why is the security in Manhattan, the center of the universe, so bad now?
"Okay, I'll move right away..." Helen didn't dare to live in a small apartment anymore. When she thought of what happened yesterday, she trembled all over. It was better to move into this high-rise residence with strict security measures as soon as possible.
