Chapter 9: The End of the World
Seattle. Citibank.
Escorted by federal SWAT, the Williams finally entered the bank lobby.
Seeing Ike surrounded by everyone, Mrs. Williams hurriedly rushed forward and hugged her son.
Tears flowed outward in strings......
"Ike, why are you stealing everyone's money? It's against the law, don't you know? ”
At this time, Mrs. Williams was both angry and worried.
Angry: The son was disobedient and committed such a big thing.
And the concern is: what if the government takes the little guy to jail?
Hearing his mother's words, Ike looked aggrieved: "Mom, I have no money to eat!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at the Williams in disbelief, their eyes full of anger.
Such a talented genius child, you don't even give him food?
What is this behavior?
This is an extremely serious crime of child abuse!
If there are serious consequences, the police can even bring first-degree murder charges to the court, accusing the guardian of murdering the child......
This is not a joke, but a real real law.
There is a saying that has been circulated around the world that sums up the United States like this:
America is a paradise for children, a battlefield for adults, and a cemetery for the elderly.
For adults, life in the United States is brutal, and the pressure of competition is the highest in the world. But for underage children, it's the complete opposite.
Feeling the angry gaze of the audience, the Williams panicked.
Because:
The term "abuse" in U.S. law covers a very large area.
It is not only physical injury that counts as abuse, but also the absence of necessary care and supervision of children. Don't give your child food, don't take care of your child...... Even not playing with children is considered abuse.
(Readers, you can't imagine that not playing with you is also abuse!) )
At this moment, the two couples hurriedly shook their heads and said loudly: "No, we didn't do such a thing!" ”
"Then why doesn't little Ike have money to eat? Shut up you two and let little Ike talk! The mayor yelled.
Hearing this, Ike lowered his head and replied aggrievedly: "Last month, a senior sister in the third year of junior high school at the school asked me to kiss her, and I kissed her. As a result, the senior sister said: kiss one kiss, more than three hundred. ”
"I gave all the money my mother gave to my senior sister."
Burst! Burst! Burst!
Everyone vomited blood and almost died on the spot.
Kiss a kiss, more than three hundred?
Little Ike, are you stupid? People are lying to you!
"No, no! Grandpa Mayor, that senior sister didn't lie to me. She also said that after kissing her, she would be my girlfriend. I want money to raise my girlfriend! ”
Mr. Mayor: "......"
Mr. and Mrs. Williams: "......"
Onlookers: "......"
One kiss, more than three hundred; If you touch it, will it cost more than 30,000?
This reason is awesome, really awesome!
At this moment, footsteps rang out.
A SWAT officer hurried in from outside.
"Report: Child protection is here!"
As soon as these words came out, the mayor of Seattle and the federal SWAT were collectively shocked.
It's over, things are going to get bigger.
"Mrs. Williams, please take little Ike back to the Seattle police department with us!" The mayor hurriedly said.
Hearing this, the two couples both nodded.
"Sir, what about the people from the child protection organization? They claimed to have received information ......"
Before the police officer could finish his words, a female voice sounded loudly.
"We have received information that children have been abused. So I immediately led the people from the CPS department to arrive. ”
As the voice fell, a woman about 30 years old, under the protection of two dignitaries, walked quickly into the bank hall.
No one dares to stop you!
"Hello, Mayor 'Murray'! I'm a valued member of the Warsington Children's Protection Association: Emma DuPont, and it's a pleasure to meet you! The woman stretched out her jade hand to the mayor of Seattle.
Mr. Mayor hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it: "Miss Dupont, hello! Your message is wrong, and there are no children being abused here. ”
"Oh, is it? Then let's go back to the police station to find out! The woman said softly.
"This, this ......," the mayor of Seattle suddenly turned embarrassed, "This is the White House's arrangement." ”
The woman smiled: "I'm sorry, the White House can't control me, CPS belongs to the Jersey State Department of Social Services." Under the U.S. Constitution, the White House has no right to interfere in state and county affairs; Under the state Child Protection Act, CPS has the authority to intervene in any case involving a minor child. ”
In other words, it is:
The old lady is only in the governor's charge, and the president of the White House is out of the way.
Such domineering words instantly shocked the audience, and even Ike raised his head and looked at the woman deeply.
At this moment, the mayor of Seattle was silent.
He was bogged down in deep deliberations, and he needed to choose between the president and the governor.
However, before he could finish thinking about it, there was a roar from the outside world.
Countless onlookers were cursing......
"Report: The Ninth Division of the Federal Army has entered the city and is dispersing the crowd. In addition......" Speaking of this, the officer paused, and quietly looked at the new woman with a very surprised look.
"What else? Say! The mayor said solemnly.
"In addition, the people of the National State Guard are also here, and the number is at least 1,000!"
What the?!
The mayor was startled and looked at Ms. Emma, "You...... You even called the National Guard? ”
"Huh! Now can we go together? ”
At this point, what else could the mayor of Seattle say, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
To this end, the group quickly walked out of the bank and, with the help of SWAT and the military, drove to the Seattle police station......
……
At the same time. Xia Guo. Presidential palace.
The high-ranking officials of various ministries and the generals of the three armed services arrived en masse, and a confidential meeting was urgently convened.
"The Network Monitoring Department reports: the national banking system is still irreparable!"
"The Ministry of Commerce reports: the world financial system is about to collapse, and the Russian economic system is about to be destroyed!"
The Ministry of Civil Affairs reported that due to various factors such as resources and transportation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was unable to establish adequate food distribution points in major cities. More than 500 million people are no longer able to eat. ”
"The Ministry of Public Security reported: In some third-tier cities, there were beatings, smashing, and robbing, and the police were fully dispatched to arrest 3,808 criminals. However, this situation cannot be stopped, and society is about to fall into turmoil. ”
……
Hearing these words, Lu Anbang, the president of Xia State, turned pale and was about to speak.
However, it was at this moment that the most heavyweight voice appeared.
The Minister of Defense stood up and said solemnly: "The military has issued a Level 1 red alert: our military system is already in extreme danger, and all weapons systems, including nuclear facilities, are no longer safe. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
"What?" President Lu Anbang suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "What did you say?" ”
"Report to President Lui: The military system of the whole country and the world is no longer safe. A program capable of hacking into the central banking system is also enough to hack into the military system. The security level of both of them is almost the same. ”
"Once, that kind of process that destroys the global financial system, moves to the military level, it will be a great disaster for the country."
"And if it could also control the nuclear weapons system, it would be ......"
"The end of the earth, the end of the world, the end of the world!"
