Ivasal International Kindergarten is the best private kindergarten in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It has always provided bilingual teaching and has a lot of outdoor activities. It has always been the first choice for children of Manila's wealthy class to go to school.
It was almost 4:30 in the afternoon, and the kindergarten would be out of school in a little while, but the children on the playground had no intention of leaving at all. They all looked at the entrance of the kindergarten expectantly, as if they were expecting something.
The teachers did not rush when they saw the children. Today is Thursday, which is a special day for the children. Every Thursday, a long-term cooperative ice cream truck comes to the campus, and the children can use their usual ice cream.
The little red flowers earned through good performance can be exchanged for ice cream at the ice cream truck. This can be said to be the most anticipated thing for the children every week.
"Didi~~~"
A few car horns honked, and a van passed through the school gate and drove into the kindergarten. When the children saw the familiar car, they immediately burst into cheers.
The car stopped skillfully in the middle of the playground, and the children immediately rushed up. The driver jumped out of the car, greeted the children with a smile on his face, and made all kinds of funny moves, making the children giggle with joy.
"Okay, kids, wait a moment, I'll do it. Soon everyone will be able to eat delicious ice cream. Do you want to eat it?"
"Think~~~"
The children said in unison, and the teachers all smiled. It seems that the ice cream boy has been replaced today, but he seems to be doing well. At least the interaction with the children is better than before.
The driver quickly removed the compartment cover, and after a few operations, the compartment turned into a window, inside which was an ice cream machine and a woman responsible for operating it.
When they saw the ice cream machine, the children cheered and rushed around it, blocking the entire window. Anyone could feel the children's sincere joy, but no one noticed that the person operating the ice cream machine was
The smile on the girl's face was a little stiff.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd, everyone has a share..."
The driver greeted the children, but the children were too happy and chattered into a mess. The driver had no choice but to shake his head and quietly retreated outside.
There are children constantly getting their favorite ice cream, leaving happily, and then gathering in small groups to enjoy their food. The satisfied smiles are like magic and infect the people around them. In Li Ice Cream
A little further away from the shower car, some children from well-off families were greedy as they watched their classmates eating ice cream.
They are all the children of rich people or politicians. This kind of cheap ice cream does not interest them, and their family's usual education does not allow them to join in the fun. However, this atmosphere is very contagious. After all,
They are all children, and many of them are already a little eager to try it.
At this time, a Cadillac sedan with an American flag on the front of the car drove into the kindergarten. From the American flag on the front of the car and the hanging photo, it could be seen that this car was the car of the U.S. Embassy.
The person in the car was none other than Harrison Campas, the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines. His children attended this kindergarten. On this day every week, he would finish his work in advance and make a special trip to pick up his children from school.
The embassy car stopped at the other end of the playground. Two bodyguards got out of the car. After confirming the surrounding situation, one of them knocked on the car window and Ambassador Campas got out.
"Evan, we should go..."
The ambassador waved to his son from the side of the car, but his usually well-behaved son unexpectedly did not respond to him this time. Instead, he looked expectantly at the ice cream truck in the distance.
"Evan, we are leaving, mom is still waiting for us at home..."
Seeing that his son was indifferent, the ambassador walked up to the child and took his hand, but the child still did not move. Instead, he looked at his father with big watery eyes.
"Dad, I got straight A's this week. I have six little red flowers, which are more than anyone else's. I can exchange them for two ice creams. Can you go with me?"
The child's immature language sounded timid, and his father usually didn't let him eat these, but he really wanted to eat it this time, and he got all A's this time. He wanted to exchange his own efforts for an ice cream for his father.
Ambassador Campas understood the child's thoughts immediately, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart. The child's request was so simple, and he just wanted to exchange his outstanding performance for a reward.
Although the ambassador generally did not allow children to eat randomly outside, looking at his son's expectant eyes, Ambassador Campas couldn't bear to refuse. Forget it, this was also an affirmation of the child, and the ambassador nodded.
"Wow~~~~"
Seeing his usually stern father nodding, the child jumped up happily, pulling his father eagerly towards the crowd.
Ambassador Campas happily enjoyed this rare parent-child time, surrounded by the laughter of children. Seeing the smile on his son's face, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he should spend more time with his children.
Seeing Ambassador Campas being pulled into the water by the child, the teachers around him covered their mouths and chuckled. This scene was so heartwarming. Just as the child was pulling the ambassador towards the crowd, the driver who had been getting along with the child turned around and faced
Walk outside the campus.
The laughter of the children in the back continued. In the distance, the bodyguards saw that the ambassador was surrounded by children and relaxed their vigilance. Not far from the school gate, a school policeman looked at the driver who was walking out with some confusion.
Makarov didn't care about the school police's doubts. He took off the mask on his face as he walked out, revealing his true face. When passing the school gate, Makarov deliberately stopped in front of the surveillance camera.
He smiled at the monitor, then took out a small device from his arms and pressed it gently.
"Boom~~~~"
Following his actions, the lively and illegal ice cream truck and the children around it were instantly swallowed up by a fireball. The children's laughter disappeared, and everything within a radius of 20 meters was blown up. The scene became a Shura hell.
, even the campus policeman who was farthest away was knocked down by the shock wave, his face full of confusion.
Under surveillance, Makarov smiled evilly again, and then strode away without looking back.
…
Early the next morning, Owen was curled up in bed and sleeping soundly when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Owen didn't want to answer it, but the phone seemed to be competing with him. Owen opened his eyes angrily when he woke up. The suicide farce next door last night kept him awake for half the night. Who knew that he would wake up not long after he fell asleep?
I was woken up by the phone again.
"No matter who you are, if there is nothing important, you are dead..."
Owen answered the phone angrily, but his eyes were still closed. The voice on the other end of the phone was Jack Bauer's voice: "Owen, something serious has happened. You should come over right away..."
Jack successfully dispelled Owen's sleepiness with one sentence. If the police said it was a big deal, it might not seem like a big deal to Tu, but if Tu said it was a big deal, then it would really be a big deal...
