The river was shining with starlight, and it was bone-chillingly cold. Cannes at the end of January had a different kind of beauty. After Yan Zheke drove out of Brandon's manor, she slowed down and wandered in the peaceful night, brewing A feeling of leisure and relaxation.
"There are no cars here. Let me teach you how to drive. It's automatic. It's super easy to learn!" She suggested with great interest.
"Okay." Lou Cheng replied without hesitation, unbuckled his seat belt, and walked around to the other side of the car door.
With my body control, hand and foot coordination, and head reflexes, learning to drive shouldn't be difficult, right
After the girl sat in the passenger seat, he got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and closed the door.
"Don't you feel awkward?" At this moment, Yan Zheke looked sideways and asked with a smile.
"A little bit..." Lou Cheng replied honestly.
So restrained!
"We are different in height and body shape, and the most suitable height and distance of the seat must be different. Student Lou Xiaocheng, what is the difference between your current appearance and forcing my T-shirt on?" Yan Zheke's eyes Guang pointed out the problem brightly, and taught Lou Cheng how to adjust the seat and rearview mirror.
After that, she enthusiastically introduced the application of brakes, accelerator, steering wheel, lights, gearbox joystick and handbrake.
Automatic transmission is relatively simple, and it didn't take long for Lou Cheng to get on the road successfully, maintaining a stable speed, and operating the "ice mirror" carefully, eliminating tension and apprehension.
Satisfied, Yan Zheke, who had tried again what it was like to be a coach, boasted a few words, casually picked up her phone, and swiped the webpage.
"Hey, there's another 'Takeaway Man' in the Big Apple City." She said cheerfully with a soft cry.
"How many imitators is this?" Lou Cheng asked amusedly, his eyes still looking straight ahead.
The "superhero" culture in the United States really pervades every place, with far-reaching influence!
"One, two... six, seven..." Yan Zheke turned her eyes upwards and counted with her fingers, "There are probably five, six, seven, eight or nine!"
Before Lou Cheng pointed out the difference between this and not saying anything, she tactfully changed the topic: "This is a good thing for you!"
"Yeah." Lou Cheng nodded easily, "otherwise most of the 'superheroes' would have been exposed long ago."
In recent months, some people in the Big Apple City, Los Angeles City and other places have imitated the "Takeaway Man" to punish criminals. Some of them were rough and were directly seen through, while others were lifelike. They were quite close in style and strength, and were considered by public opinion to be "Takeaway Man". The "Takeaway Man" took action again. It is said that a certain federal bureau has dealt with them together and expanded the scope of the investigation. It is also suspected that before and after the two incidents in Cannes, the takeaway man was not in the local area, but came from a long distance. Once he succeeds, he will leave immediately .
This is completely capable for a strong fighter at the senior fighter level, and it is not without precedent in the past.
True and false, false and true, this is the soil where the "superheroes" in the United States are active. Different countries have different situations. If you use your own country to match the other party, the difference is often a thousand miles away. Smith has long foreseen this. And did a detailed analysis for myself.
Regardless of the United States or China, the most difficult case to solve is the same, that is, someone came to a different place on a whim, casually killed an unrelated passerby, and left no clues such as fingerprints, DNA, or surveillance video. , then the investigators can only look for a needle in a haystack by luck.
The police should not be underestimated, nor should they be mythologized. There are too many unsolved cases related to "superheroes" in the United States!
"The 'clown' reappears in the Big Apple City, causing another tragic murder..." Yan Zheke read the news headlines, and said with emotion, "Compared to that, the security in Cannes can be rated five stars!"
Although there are also gangs and dangerous criminals, they are relatively small in number, and they have no anti-social personality, and they will not actively provoke the government.
"No way, after all, it is the most prosperous city in the country of America, and the outsiders and inhuman masters like to gather there, and once the number of strong people increases, we know from probability that it is very easy for a few scum and a few perverts to emerge. Normally, places like Imperial Capital, Huahai, Huacheng, Moshang, etc., have there been masters who retaliated against the society? Haven’t there also been vicious cases that have had a huge impact but have not been solved? Don’t our Ice God Sect and Shushanzhai occasionally hand over their disciples to the judicial organs? "Lou Cheng comforted his daughter-in-law.
As the financial sub-center of the United States, Cannes is a high-ranking big city with the super school of "Gluka", a religious order that can fight against it, and a stable government. There are nearly ten strong outsiders. Not to mention the number of people, so far, only two dangerous criminals have appeared, which shows that the security environment is not bad. Of course, it is limited to some areas.
Similar to this, places such as the imperial capital, Huahai, and Moshang of the Hua Kingdom are also places where the strong are enriched, but the control is stricter, so there are not many vicious cases.
For the residents of Cannes or the Big Apple, super criminals are not the biggest threat. In a modern society where once exposed and the evidence is solid, they will definitely be arrested and dealt with. Like Majewski, relying on temptation, relying on gradual corrosion, or like a "butcher", choosing places with insufficient monitoring resources, as long as you don't go to places you shouldn't go, you can survive in the face of temptation, and the risk factor is actually very low , of course, after Lou Cheng cleaned it up, it was close to zero.
For ordinary people, the biggest threat is terrorists, people who want to retaliate against the society, and novices who commit crimes on a whim and feel that they can escape surveillance casually. Yan Zheke's own strength can probably deal with it, let alone There is also a full-time bodyguard, Aunt Du.
"I'll just say this casually~ I live in classrooms, libraries, homes, and supermarkets every day. I hardly attend parties and gatherings. Who will stare at me?" Yan Zheke suddenly frowned as she spoke. Mei, looking forward, paused for a moment and said, "Chengzi, do you not know the way..."
Seems like it might have gone wrong...
Lou Cheng replied calmly: "That's right, it's my first time here, how can I know the way, and when I'm in the car, who will remember the way?"
So confident... Yan Zheke was stunned for a few seconds and said, "We probably made a mistake at some point. We should have turned left at the intersection with the bridge."
"Before you said 'clown', you passed that intersection." Lou Cheng thought about it, and said with a strange expression.
"When should I count the 'Takeaway Man'?" Yan Zheke entered the map, intending to navigate, and asked casually.
"No, it's still earlier..." Lou Cheng replied honestly.
"I said there will be a time when 'Takeaway Man' reappears in the Big Apple City?" Yan Zheke blinked.
"Earlier..." Lou Cheng reminded "tremblingly".
"Even earlier, wouldn't it be time to teach you how to drive!" Yan Zheke laughed aloud. If there was an emoji, she would definitely choose to "throw the table".
"It's still a little early." Lou Cheng drove the car with a "serious" expression.
"It's still early? That's not me driving..." Yan Zheke paused, thought for a moment, raised the phone, and cheered, "Just take it for a ride, how good it is!"
But I'm hungry... Lou Cheng remained silent and nodded in agreement.
...
In the manor by the river, Brandon cheered up and chatted and laughed with the guests. Although he didn't know the phrase "victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs", he acted very aptly.
After finishing the process, he made an excuse to change clothes and went back to the second floor, where he saw his father, Adrian, standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor, looking at the flowing water.
"How do you feel?" Adrian turned around and asked.
Brandon took a breath and slowly exhaled: "Better than me."
Adrian nodded slightly, and added calmly: "And he seems to be experimenting and proficient in the new 'Ice Department' technique."
Although Brandon didn't want to admit it, he still answered honestly:
"yes… "
Adrian showed a smile, and said quietly:
"You have to remember that there are not many fighters who can become 'enemies' for life, and there must be arrogance and arrogance among them."
...
On February 1st, Sunday afternoon, Lou Cheng, who had finished his daily exercise, and Yan Zheke, who had written his report homework, drove to the largest Chinese supermarket nearby to buy Chinese New Year ingredients and daily consumables.
Two more carts were full, they stopped in front of the cashier, took out items one by one, and paid at the checkout.
Yan Zheke looked at her husband busy, sometimes helping to take it down, looking very relaxed and comfortable, and even began to think about the dishes for the "New Year's Eve dinner".
At this moment, she caught sight of Lou Cheng taking out six boxes of things with a calm expression and handing them to the cashier. It was an unknown number of condoms.
When did he get it... How could he just buy it like this... Yan Zheke froze for a moment, her cheeks were on fire, she quickly turned her head and looked to the side, pretending that she didn't know the guy in front of her.
He, can't he just sneak around and buy it by himself like before!
After paying the bill and leaving the supermarket, Yan Zheke glared at Lou Cheng in shame and indignation:
"You're getting more proficient now!"
"What?" Lou Cheng looked bewildered.
"That, that!" Yan Zheke pointed to the boxes of things placed on it.
Lou Cheng suddenly laughed, and the old god was answering:
"It's not the first time I've bought one, and it's normal for a married man with a wife to buy this. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
You didn't say that before! You said that when you went shopping for the first time, you were embarrassed to death! Yan Zheke discovered "sadly" that a man's face is really the easiest thing to thicken!
After joking about it, they put the "trophies" in the car, and when Yan Zheke was about to start the ignition, her cell phone rang suddenly, and a call came in.
After communicating for a while, the girl held down the receiver and looked sideways at Lou Cheng:
"The consulate and the international students here always want to organize everyone to celebrate the New Year. Do you want to participate?"
"Chinese New Year is also my birthday..." Lou Cheng took the initiative to express his opinion.
Of course two people world!
Yan Zheke smiled, didn't say any more, and declined the invitation over there.
