After talking with Frank, Sherron quickly understood the current situation.
Until now, Frank still has not gained Benjamin's true trust. The reason why he was able to become the deputy security captain was because of Mrs. Audrey's strong recommendation and Jerry's trust in Frank.
And from just now, Xie Lun could also feel that the Benjamins were repulsive to him.
Although it was nominally because of Jerry, in fact Sherron knew very well that it was the Benjamins and the Jameses who had something to say. What he has to say is nothing more than trying to win people's hearts.
It is obvious to the naked eye that James is the next minister of state. Hollis is also the deputy director of the NIA, and the couple has successfully squeezed into the upper class of American politics. Coupled with the fact that Xie Lun is very popular at a young age, the future is obviously bright.
After Benjamin was announced as taking office, even if he wanted to promote reform in the United States, he would have to rely on young people like James in the early stage. After all, his main opponents are old guys like the Speaker of Congress and William who firmly control the American political scene. Before defeating these old guys, Benjamin needs the support of James and others.
As for why you didn’t talk to Sherron alone
Quite simply, Sherron is not qualified right now.
No matter what he is, he is just a senior NIA detective, and he is not qualified to let a dignified president of the United States and a polite corporal talk to him in his study.
Even inviting him to the manor this time was just for James' sake.
As for saving the speaker's daughter, Benjamin didn't take it to heart at all.
Anyway, it was not his daughter who was saved.
Oh, of course, Sherron had saved Jerry once, but in Benjamin's heart, Frank had done the most and had the greatest credit.
On the contrary, because of Sherron's previous resume, Benjamin was full of distrust of Sherron and suspected that he had been bribed by William and other old guys.
Although Sherron didn't care at all whether Benjamin trusted him or not, Benjamin's attitude made Sherron very unhappy.
Since he is unhappy, then Sherron will make Benjamin unhappy.
After more than half an hour, the Benjamins and James finally finished talking.
Of course, it might also be because it was almost time for the dinner to start and they had to leave for the White House.
Although Benjamin has not yet been sworn in and entered the White House, the Secret Service, which is specifically responsible for the security of the president, has taken over the security of Benjamin and his family. Unfortunately, the famous presidential car "Beast" is still used by President Robert, and Benjamin and his party can only use other bulletproof vehicles.
Ten Cadillac bulletproof vehicles, almost indistinguishable from the outside, formed a mighty convoy, roared out of the manor, and rushed to the White House in the wind and snow.
As if the conversation in the study hadn't finished yet, Benjamin took James and sat in car No. 3 with Banning. Audrey took Jerry and sat in Car No. 4 with Hollis and Frank. As for Sherron, he didn't even sit in the car, so he could only drive James' Lincoln SUV and follow the convoy.
"You even took James and Hollis with you when you got in the car." Sherron muttered silently in his heart as he drove the car, "I have no choice but to let them go."
At this time, communications were coming from the headsets of the Secret Service agents in the convoy:
"The wind and snow are increasing, everyone, be careful!"
"Route 341 is clear!"
“We’re about to pass the Bilt Bridge ahead!”
"There is ice on the road, reduce your speed!"
"No, we are about to miss the start time of the banquet. President Benjamin asked us to speed up!"
"Uh... Okay, let's keep distance between car No. 3 and No. 1 and No. 2 to prevent accidents... "
Soon, a stone pier bridge with a total length of about one hundred meters appeared in front. Cars No. 1 and 2 roared through without any incident. However, just as Car No. 3 entered the bridge, there was a loud "click" sound from the side. A tree trunk as thick as a bowl suddenly fell down under the strong wind and hit the front hood of Car No. 3 hard. .
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the airbags on the driver's seat and the passenger seat deployed at the same time. The driver and Banning, who was sitting on the passenger seat, were knocked unconscious by the airbags. The car slid on the ground, and the trunk was suddenly installed on the bridge guardrail. How could the wooden guardrail, which was in disrepair, stop the heavy bulletproof car
Benjamin and James, who were sitting in the back, were startled and clung to the armrests. Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts and did not fly around in the car due to inertia.
Feeling the slightly swaying car body, James said urgently: "Mr. President, hold on tight, don't move, otherwise the car may fall..."
Before he finished speaking, the No. 4 car behind him rushed over from the dark wind and snow.
Frank had already stepped on the brakes hard and turned the steering wheel in an attempt to avoid car No. 3. However, the road was icy and the wheels were slipping. After the car made a semicircle on the road, the trunk happened to be installed on the front of car No. 3.
Car No. 3, which was maintaining a delicate balance, fell off the bridge due to this impact and hit the ice heavily.
The ice was very thick, but no matter how thick the ice was, it could not stop the bulletproof car from falling from a height of ten meters. After the ice surface made a muffled "click-click" sound, a big hole was revealed with a roar, and the car leaked through it.
The No. 4 car on the bridge was not spared, because it hit the No. 3 car, and the car suddenly jumped forward. As a result, the front of the car smashed the guardrail, and the whole car got stuck on the bridge, turning into the No. 3 car. previous situation.
"Creak... bang bang bang..."
The car behind him quickly braked, but because of the icy road, several cars rear-ended him one after another. Fortunately, no car hit the No. 4 car this time, but the cars behind were crowded together, and most of the agents were trapped in the car and could not get out in a short time.
The agent who was able to crawl out of the car was also seriously injured. It was good for him to be able to stagger around, let alone rescue people from car No. 4.
For a moment, the internal communication of the agents exploded:
"Orange Alert! Orange Alert!!!"
"There is a car accident in the transport convoy, crisis number one, emergency number two!"
"Recently, support has been on the road and helicopters have taken off. However, the weather is too bad and we may need to hold on for a few minutes..."
Just as the agents collapsed, a roaring sound of a car engine came from behind. In everyone's horrified eyes, a Lincoln SUV roared towards them, drifted on the ground, and crashed into car No. 4.
Just when everyone thought that this car was going to knock Car No. 4 off the bridge, the SUV stopped steadily, and the distance between its body and Car No. 4 was only about one centimeter.
Then a figure jumped out of the car and put his hand on the raised butt of car No. 4. Just hearing the sound of "creaking" metal friction, the bulletproof car weighing at least five tons was forcefully pulled up.
Then before anyone could react, the man ran to the position where Car No. 3 hit the bridge, jumped off the bridge, and like a sharp sword, penetrated into the ice hole on the river.
"Sheron!"
Hollis, who was still trapped in car No. 4, threw herself in front of the rear window and shouted anxiously.
