Now that they have decided to leave, Xu Yun and Bai Xiaoye still don't want to leave any regrets, and they really can't go on the road after drinking so much.
As a country on wheels, the United States has indeed accumulated a lot of experience in preventing traffic accidents. Severe punishment of drunk driving is definitely a top priority. In addition to on-the-spot license revocation and one year in jail, drunk drivers who cause life-threatening injuries can be punished.
Charged with second-degree murder, the maximum penalty is the death penalty.
In recent years, the blood alcohol concentration standard for drunk driving has become increasingly strict, dropping from 0.08% to 0.05%. Since a higher proportion of young people drive under the influence, for drivers under the age of 21, the blood alcohol concentration is 0.01%.
Even if you drive after drinking.
Strict traffic law enforcement even prevents Americans from drinking hard liquor at parties. Since the 1990s, the death rate per 10,000 vehicles in the United States has dropped to 1.7. Compared with China’s figure which is higher than 9, the U.S. Empire has been less successful in this regard.
The experience is really worth reference.
To put it bluntly, it is still a question of whether "traffic law enforcement" is strict enough. A common saying at the Huaxia wine table is "Don't worry about drinking. I asked the traffic police team in the afternoon and they didn't check it tonight." Then they start eating and drinking.
Of course, being drunk can also be traced back to China’s drinking culture. If you don’t drink, you can’t talk. This is really ridiculous.
You need to drink to make friends, you need to drink to discuss business, you need to drink to accompany your boss, you need to drink to show loyalty, you need to drink to collect debts... Anyway, 80% of things cannot be done without the catalyst of alcohol.
Because he did not want to get into trouble for drunk driving and jailed, Xu Yun decided to wait with Bai Xiaoye until the alcohol dissipated before hitting the road, which was safe and secure.
Of course, during this period of stay, they could not leave any regrets in Seattle. Xu Yun and Bai Xiaoye went straight to Pike Place Market. There were always so many people in front of the first Starbucks. After buying two cups of coffee, the two of them
Start hanging out.
Strolling around every corner of Pike Place Market, you can see buckets of flowers, flying fish shows, fresh pastries and fruits and vegetables, handmade cheeses, local honey, wine, restaurants with international flavors, imported goods, antiques, collectibles and a large number of them can be found at any time.
Unexpected products.
When I was hungry, I found a small restaurant and ate fried fish fingers and oysters. Then I went to ride the Ferris wheel at Bai Xiaoye's request, overlooking Puget Sound and the city center. The scenery was beautiful.
After riding the Ferris wheel, the two went to visit the Seattle Art Museum... In the evening, Xu Yun took Bai Xiaoye to Mount Kerry Park, overlooking the Space Tower. The exquisiteness and quietness of Seattle were really nostalgic.
It is a worthwhile trip if you have time to visit this place.
Finally, Xu Yun used the breathalyzer he bought at Pike Place Market to test the alcohol content of his breath. It was completely zero. Now he could finally go on the road with peace of mind.
Now they no longer have to drive late at night. They just drive at once, and when they are tired, they will work in shifts. The earlier they arrive in New York, the less danger Gu will have for a day.
…
However, Gu Guolong has been doing well since he was brought to New York. He has seen the agents of the US empire, and he has seen even more the Gambino family, which is definitely of Italian Mafia origin. They do things much more ruthlessly than the big circle.
Much darker.
The difference between Gu Guolong and Randolph is definitely not a matter of one or two blocks, it is simply a matter of being thrown away by more than ten blocks.
However, Randolph has always been very kind to Gu Guolong these days. Not only is he not disrespectful to him, but he is also very polite to him. This makes Gu Guolong a little confused.
In the United States, no matter whether they are people who eat on this road or not, when they meet Randolph, they must respectfully call him "Godfather". Gu Guolong knows his identity very well, so he is very polite to Randolph: "Godfather, I have been taking care of you these days."
, but I really don’t understand what use I, an old man of half a hundred years, can do to you and your family.
"Mr. Gu, you're welcome." Randolph sat on the lambskin sofa opposite Gu Guolong, smiled slightly, and took a sip of coffee: "Since the government values you so much, I will definitely not treat Mr. Gu badly. As long as the government agrees to pay me
If the conditions are met, I will naturally hand Mr. Gu over to the government myself."
After a pause, Randolph added: "I'm still curious about what Mr. Gu has to do with the government. Even when I asked for a billion dollars, the government didn't blink an eye. Hahaha, Mr. Gu, you are quite capable.
.I’m afraid the head on the lower neck is not worth a billion dollars, right?”
"The godfather is joking." Gu Guolong shook his head helplessly. To be honest, until now, he still doesn't understand why such a big disaster hit Daquan's head, just because Matthew left through their merchant ship.
, the US government is also making a fuss out of a molehill, right?
"Mr. Gu, if I guess correctly, you must have a very close connection with Kevin Matthews, right?" Randolph smiled slightly: "Hahaha, otherwise how could it be so miserable."
Gu Guolong still shook his head helplessly: "Godfather, if Mr. Matthew and I really had such a close connection, I would have left with him."
"Hahaha, whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter to me." Randolph said with a smile: "I just need to get what I want. As for Kevin Matthew, he wants to become a weapon for the Americans.
It doesn’t matter to me whether it becomes a weapon for the Chinese people.”
Gu Guolong really has nothing to say to Randolph. After all, he is not from the same place. He is being polite to him now just to make more conditions for him in the hands of the US government. If he is of no use at all, I'm afraid Randolph
He had long been thrown into the Deep River to feed the fish.
In a private villa on Manhattan Bay at the southern end of Brooklyn, the conversation between the two people was not pleasant, but there was no major conflict.
"Mr. Gu, you haven't been going out recently, so you probably don't have much news." Randolph said, "I heard some news, and I don't know if I should tell you."
Gu Guolong frowned. He had indeed blocked the news now, but apart from his family's information, he was not interested in other news.
"Where the Japanese Sea enters the Pacific Ocean, an arms merchant ship passing through Canada was sunk by a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force frigate." Randolph said: "I don't know if this matter will be related to Mr. Gu's big circle
Does it matter?"
Gu Guolong couldn't sit still for a moment. He stood up and his mind went blank. At this moment, he just wanted to know about his daughter's safety!
Randolph raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disapproving smile. The little arms business that Daquan did was really not worth mentioning to Randolph. The ban on guns in Eastern countries was so serious that only people in America and Europe had no way out.
, will go to Asia to sell arms.
Of course, this also proves that the control of the five major families over the entire American arms industry is beyond the reach of Gu Guolong's circle.
"Anyone on the ship...do you have any news?" Gu Guolong waited for a while before asking this question.
Randolph smiled slightly: "I can help Mr. Gu with inquiries, as long as Mr. Gu stays here and cooperates with me."
"Godfather, I won't leave." Gu Guolong said: "I just ask you to help me find out the whereabouts of my daughter. As long as you help me, I can stay here forever."
"No, no, no, how can I keep forcing Mr. Gu to stay? Hahaha, as long as the US government agrees to my request, I can send Mr. Gu to leave at any time." Randolph said: "Of course, Mr. Gu needs information now, and I also
You can arrange for someone to help you inquire about it, so you can rest assured. I will definitely inform Mr. Gu as soon as I have any news about Miss Ling."
After that, Randolph stood up and left. This luxurious villa was just the residence where he used to place Gu Guolong under house arrest.
