To use a familiar saying from Angela's past life to describe her current situation is - guessing the front, but not guessing the end. The repercussions of Miss Genius' street and gangster shootout far exceeded her expectations.
Although the media reports are somewhat exaggerated, they are basically not outrageous. Besides, the TV station is still playing the video of the day repeatedly. Even so, there are still different versions of rumors circulating everywhere.
There is the Rambo version of Miss Genius with an automatic rifle and the gangsters, there is also the Bond version of Angela using various high-tech tools in her bulletproof car to deal with the gangsters, and Angela jumped from the bullets and approached the gangsters with bare hands. Take down their kung fu version and more.
In short, everything was put on her, and the only thing fortunate was that at least she didn't show up. As soon as she took off her clothes, she revealed the Wonder Woman version of the star-spangled suit that threw the gangster to the moon.
The reason why there are so many different sayings that are reasonable at the beginning and then become spoofs is mainly because this kind of thing is so rare, it is like making a movie: the gangsters are ferocious and the police are incompetent, and then in the extreme crisis. At that time, a lone hero appeared to save everyone.
Moreover, in the eyes of many people, Angela is still very strong, not to mention her artistic achievements. Think about it, when she was only a teenager a few years ago, she was able to drive a car in Los Angeles, and no one was injured. ; and then went to Harvard to go to school, and there were rumors of fighting with male classmates, turning over several rumors at a time; even in the movie "The Lord of the Rings", she played the elf prince in reverse, and it was reported that the crew was full of praise for her action scenes.
She was already noticeable enough, plus this kind of plot that almost only appeared in the movie happened in life, so this kind of reaction was natural. Especially on the Internet, the discussion on this matter is particularly intense.
"It's so cool, it's like a real-life John McCarran, and it's a woman. If it were someone else, I would have screamed, Angela always does unexpected things, I love She's dead!" This is a representative message from a netizen on her official website, followed by hundreds of pages of support.
Of course, the voices of opposition are not absent, and the Parents' Association has publicly expressed its concerns: "Miss Angela must consider that her fans have many minors. Although her behavior is commendable, it does not play a more positive role. "Even for adults, the government still discourages facing heavily armed gangsters under limited conditions, and it would be a very bad thing for minors to be harmed against criminals like Miss Angela did."
Although the other party has some unfounded suspicions, this kind of tone is too normal in the United States. So even though most of the public opinion is singing praises, Angela responded on the blog for the first time: "I agree with this, and I absolutely do not support minors fighting against criminals under limited conditions. As for adults , when you can resist when you want to protect yourself has to have your own judgment. I want to say, I'm not that great, I just exercised the power that an American citizen can exercise - protect my own personal safety. That's all."
When most celebrities talked about this matter, except for some very personal people, most of them agreed with Angela's view: support people's right to protect themselves under appropriate circumstances, but discourage minors in unconditional situations. case do so. As for the Los Angeles Police Department, they said at the press conference that both the Parents Association and Miss Genius are not wrong. Although they feel a little silly, they are government agencies after all.
It is worth mentioning that the blog has developed a lot in this firefight. Although the location of the exchange of fire is not a residential area, there are several daring guys who live nearby using binoculars and other tools to pay attention to the battle between the gangster and the police, and at the same time faithfully record what they saw on their blog. everything of. Even though the station soon started broadcasting live, the click-list for their blog continued to grow.
As a result, people finally began to face up to the role of blogging, and its convenience and timeliness gradually began to enter the mainstream society's vision. After Miss Genius officially proposed the word blog, this thing is no longer just a tool for celebrities to show off their words, and began to expand to the grassroots, until…
Of course, this is all for later, and now to answer Angela, who should have returned to Boston, she is still staying in the villa in Beverly Hills. Quite simply, the LAPD wanted her to help with the investigation — or to maintain a positive image of the police. Several press conferences have been held for this purpose, and it is said that there will be several more.
"Their efficiency is too bad. If the reinforcements that day were like this, we would be finished." Angela, who was sitting beside the hospital bed and slicing apples, complained. Zhan waved his arm: "Hey, I'm serious, I can't always stay in Los Angeles, and I have to go to school!"
"I know, but government agencies are like that," Mavis shrugged. "To be honest, sometimes I'd rather deal with criminals than with the media. I'm not like you, born to deal with the media."
"Who? Me? And the media?" Angela rolled her eyes directly, "Come on, if I could, I would definitely rush to the editors of the major media with an automatic rifle and shoot!
"Really?" Maeves looked surprised.
"Of course, look at the reporters who have been surrounding the villa these days, they are like flies that can't be chased away. I have to deal with them after being bombarded by my family and friends! I can't go anywhere without them, Otherwise, I should have come to the hospital to see you the day before yesterday." Angela shook her head and handed the peeled apple to Mavis.
"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry..." Meiweisi held the apple, her eyes became a little complicated.
"Anyway, you were injured to save me, and I have an obligation and a responsibility to come and visit you." Angela waved her hand, then looked at her gauze-covered wound: "How is it now?"
"It's not bad, the injury is not too serious, or the bleeding is too much, and it will take a few days to be discharged from the hospital." Meiweisi became calm, and after a while said: "I may have to go back to resign, Angela. ."
"Resign? Why?" Angela couldn't help frowning.
"Why else? Putting you in a dangerous situation, I'm remiss." Maeves spread her hands.
"Who said you were dereliction of duty? This accident was completely accidental. If you want to say responsibility, you have it and I have it, why should you take it?" Angela's tone was obviously annoyed, "I will explain it to your boss, I I need you by my side."
Meiweisi looked at her in astonishment, and after a while she asked hesitantly, "You—need me by your side?"
"Of course! I can finally accept you completely, but I don't want to have another guy worse than you and get used to it again!" Angela raised her eyebrows.
"Hey, what do you mean worse than me? Am I bad?" the female detective on the hospital bed asked unhappily.
"Isn't it? Extreme self, regardless of other people's feelings, always thinks that they are right and everyone else is wrong." Angela raised her open hands, "However, now I know that your badness is only superficial. ,here-"
She pointed to her heart and smiled slightly: "It's still very good."
After staring at Angela for a while, Meiweis sighed softly: "Do you know what I think of you, Angela? The arrogant, self-willed, domineering, and arrogant star lady, but—"
He also pointed to his own heart, and Mavis showed the same smile: "It's also very good here."
The two laughed out loud, and the estrangement between them completely disappeared.
"That's it, I'm going back," Angela stood up, "recover well, don't worry about me, Dad has increased my bodyguards to six, and I rarely go out now, so I won't be in danger for the time being. So Get well soon, my personal safety is entirely up to you."
"Okay okay, looks like I can't even take a vacation." Maeves shrugged.
Angela smiled and was about to leave, and after taking two steps, she turned around again: "He Dao, Mei Si, I think you should at least keep your hair on your shoulders, that way you will be beautiful. Besides, you It's a nice smile."
"Thank you." Mavis watched Angela leave before pulling the ends of her hair, frowning for a few seconds and then chuckling lightly, and then biting heavily on the cut apple in her hand.
Amid the noise, two dark-black cars drove out of the hospital from the reporter's circle.
"Go back, I can't go anywhere in this situation." Angela sighed, taking her eyes away from the rear window.
"You have to attend the Los Angeles police press conference this afternoon." Sparrow beside him reminded.
"How many more hours will it take?" Angela shook her head, "How many times has this been?"
"Don't worry, you can go back to Boston after this time." Sparrow said comfortingly.
"That's what they said last time—well, I hope so. Otherwise, my poor credits will be over." Angela shrugged helplessly, then looked at her agent, "Thank you for your hard work. Yes, Jack."
Sparrow, who was flipping through the schedule, raised his head in surprise, but then lowered his head with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's right to serve you. Besides, I'm used to this kind of scene."
"Then, before leaving, arrange for me to visit the manor villa I selected earlier," Angela said immediately. "Of course, keep a low profile and be careful not to be surrounded by reporters."
Sparrow smiled and shrugged: "As you wish, miss."
Although Angela said several times that she was going to move out and asked Sparrow to help her find a suitable villa, no specific time has been set.
But this incident made her feel that she really needed to take action, because the behavior of the reporters had greatly affected the lives of her family.
Because of the protection of the law and parents, the younger brother and sister have not leaked photos so far. But as long as the reporters gather outside the villa because of Angela, every time they get out of school and leave, it seems like they are breaking through. Ike and Willie are not afraid of them but hate them very much.
But now, those guys not only clicked and patted every car coming in and out, but they even had the audacity to stop their mother and younger siblings from asking this and that. A few days ago, after she came back from a press conference, she caused a big stir at the door. If it wasn't for the security guards of the villa firing shots at the sky, it's not certain that these guys would rush in.
A little reluctant, but in order not to worry and be disturbed by her family, Angela decided to put the move on the agenda. She had already picked out several of the manor villas provided by Sparrow before. As long as she took the time to check it out, she could buy it if she was still satisfied.
The car quickly returned to the villa. Of course, the reporters who were waiting at the door had to take pictures. When Angela and the maids came to the living room saying hello, she was stunned before she could speak. Because, a familiar person is sitting on the sofa smiling and chatting with her mother, Kate!
"Hi, Mom, Kate." Angela tried her best to keep her face calm.
"Hi dear, how is Miss Mavis?" Mother's demeanor was as perfect as ever.
"She's fine, she didn't hurt her vitals, and the doctor said she'll be discharged in a few days." Angela said, but her eyes were squinting back and forth on her mother and Kate.
"That's good," the mother smiled, her face expressionless, "Kate has been waiting for you for half an hour."
"Really? How are you... chatting?" Angela took a deep breath.
"It's a normal thing, the same as before." Kate answered first, and smiled apologetically at Elena at the same time.
Elena didn't care and stood up with a smile: "I think you must have a lot to say, so don't bother."
After her mother left, Angela looked around, then turned her head towards Kate: "Let's...let's go up and talk."
All the way to the bedroom without a word, Angela was about to ask questions when the door was closed, when suddenly she was heavily pressed against the wall. With his lips blocked tightly, his teeth were easily pried open.
Kate hugged her tightly without saying anything, fiddling in her mouth like a fragrant tongue. Angela was a little resisted at first, but she was immediately melted by the other party's enthusiasm. The two kissed again and again like this, and they separated in a gasp after each other's enthusiasm was exhausted.
"You seem to have gained a lot of weight." Angela, who was leaning on Kate's arms after a long while, said this, her hands always wrapping around the other's waist and never letting go.
"It's not because of you!" Kate said angrily, then held Angela's face and comforted her with some distress: "Angie, Angie, what do you want me to say about you."
She took Angela into her arms again and hugged her tightly: "I can finally feel you by my side."
Angela, who silently listened to Kate's words, sighed in her heart, and her hands around her waist tightened because of this: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again, I promise."
"Your guarantee is not reliable!" Although Kate said bitterly, she couldn't hide the feeling of relief.
Angela couldn't help laughing: "Don't be like this, dear—what did you say to my mother?"
The topic changed just fine, and Kate immediately became a little embarrassed: "Um... nothing, it's a normal thing."
"Really?" Angela's mouth curled up, "Are you sure there is nothing else?"
"Okay, Mrs. Elena asked me... when did we start dating." Kate smiled wryly.
"Did you tell her?" Angela suddenly became a little nervous.
"Of course not, I just told her that this question is best for you to answer, after all, you were just then..." Kate paused here, stared into Angela's eyes for a while, and then sighed softly: "I When... committing a crime."
After a moment of silence, Angela smiled and kissed the corner of her mouth: "Not now."
The phone on the table rang at this time, and Angela walked over and picked up the handset: "Who? It's me, really... Really?! Well, I... I'll be down right away."
"What's the matter?" Kate, who noticed that Angela's face changed slightly, asked hurriedly.
"Well... It's nothing, someone is coming so I have to go down first and come up in a few minutes, don't worry." Angela pinched her nose and still said with a smile.
Kate opened her mouth and closed it again, before nodding a few seconds later: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After leaving her bedroom, Angela's smile turned into a wry smile, and when she reached the stairs, the wry smile changed back to a smile. After a few steps downstairs, the girl who was standing in the living room talking to the maid suddenly turned her head and showed a bright smile.
"Hi, Jesse." Angela raised her hand and waved.
"Angie!" Jessica took a few steps forward and stopped in front of her, her eyes fixed on Angela as if she didn't want to leave for a moment. If it wasn't for someone else here, Jessica would definitely rush into her arms and hold her tightly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now, except for those annoying flies outside." Angela smiled and spread her hands, looking at the excitement and joy in Jesse's pure eyes, her heart couldn't help feeling a little Disturbance - then suddenly sank, as excitement and joy suddenly turned into wonder and disbelief.
"What's the matter, Jesse?" Angela's heart skipped a beat.
Jessica didn't speak, and watched her right hand unconsciously put to her lips.
Could it be... a lip print? ! Angela's heart suddenly tightened, and before she had time to speak, Kate's voice came from behind: "Yes... Jesse is here?"
She walked to Angela's side step by step, looked at Jesse and then at Angela, with no expression on her face, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, the maid walked in with another person: "Miss, your friend is here."
"Angie, I know I may be a little impulsive, but..." Before the words were finished, Natalie, who was rushing just now, lost her voice, and her eyes turned around on the three of them.
She had a dusty look, with beads of sweat hanging from the tip of her nose, as if she had just gotten off the plane. Suddenly, the hall of the villa fell into silence for someone.
