Chapter 32: The Car Accident
Mr. Lee's new lawyer didn't stay long, and after a few words of greeting with a check, he hurried away, eager to complete the task given to him by his employer, not even touching the filet mignon (tenderloin) cooked by the chef of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant on the table.
This is a good thing, complete the formalities as soon as possible, and after the manor is repaired, he can also move in as soon as possible, and take advantage of the situation, and lay out the formation to make it a blessed land conducive to cultivation.
Leon slowly chews on five ripe tenderloins, savoring the smooth touch of the rich sauce between his lips and teeth, the warm fat of the tender meat reduces the bitterness of the wine, and the tannins in the red wine in turn subtract the greasy flavor of the steak.
A tremor from Duzhong's mobile phone interrupted Leon's meal, and the caller ID was Christina.
"Hello? Leon? It was Christina's voice, which sounded like she had drunk and was a little excited.
"Well, what's the matter at this late hour?" Leon asked casually, pulling his phone away and summoning the waiter for another fully cooked sirloin steak.
"That ......" Christina hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "I like you, can you be my boyfriend?" ”
"Oh?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows, put the french fries as a side dish into his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "The background sound on the other end of the phone is a little noisy, and you can vaguely hear the slight roar of the car engine, it sounds like a luxury off-road vehicle, a Cadillac Escalade or a Lincoln Navigator?"
Of course, no matter which brand, its owner is either rich or expensive, and combined with the list of people who are partying with you, it can only be that Mike Seaver, the captain of the school basketball team, is driving, and the car should still be his dad's.
You're obviously on hands-free mode, and while none of the men and women around you are talking, the lady sitting next to you with her head resting on your shoulder is visibly overdrunk and breathing heavily. So you teenagers should have been on the back road from Somerset back to Gotham, sipping beer and playing a game of truth or dare in the car.
And I, this cold otaku who doesn't like to socialize, was lucky enough to be chosen as a spice for boring times to be your amusement meme, right? ”
There was only a terrible silence on the other end of the phone, and then there was a burst of laughter from five or six people in unison, and a certain drunken girl put her mouth on the microphone and shouted: "For God's sake, Christina, you lose, drink!" ”
Teenagers.....
Li Ang was still a little angry, at this time he could only sit in his seat and shake his head and smile bitterly, these high school students in the United States were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they wantonly squandered their youth in line with the principle of timely pleasure, and the carnival of joy was the right reason, and they who did not like to be noisy became an outlier.
Christina, who was sitting in the car, snatched the mobile phone from her best friend's hand, turned off the hands-free mode viciously, glared at her blind companions, and then leaned over to the microphone and said, "I'm sorry Leon, they asked me to close my eyes and find a boy from the address book to confess......"
"It's okay." Leon interrupted Christina's apology, "I can understand the effect of alcohol and adrenaline. It's just that next time, please find a time when it's not dinner, I don't like to be disturbed during dinner. ”
“.... All right. Christina said cautiously, "I'll pay attention next time." ”
And next time? Li Ang is also happy, this stupid girl is really a child from the middle and lower class in the United States, and her IQ line is definitely hovering around the average value of 101 in the United States.
He just wanted to say a few words and hang up the phone, but he heard the exclamations of the boys and girls on the other end, "Oh my God, what is that?" ”
In the sight of Christina and others, a bright silver lady's sedan sped by, whirling and crashing into a big tree not far ahead, and in an instant the car bell rang, parts flew sideways, and the front of the sedan crashed into a smash, billowing black smoke and fire, and the driver inside did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The flying disaster in front of him directly made the teenagers who drank the wine wake up instantly, and cold sweat covered their backs.
Mike Seaver, who acted as the driver, slammed on the brakes and watched the tragic scene in amazement.
This is just a wilderness without a village or a store, and there are very few vehicles coming and going, but after drinking, the moral standards of these high school students have been improved, and several teenagers took out flashlights from the toolbox in the trunk to check, while the girls panicked and could only lie on the car window to watch,
The flames on the head of the car were still burning, and the driver's door was broken and deformed and could not be opened, so he could only pass through the back door.
Seeing the blood, several people were even more panicked, but they still had the most basic first-aid knowledge, and knew not to mess with the patient casually to avoid secondary injury, so they just moved her to the lawn a little away from the vehicle and lay there flat.
“..... She's okay, right? A teenager hesitated.
"She's bleeding all over her face, do you think it's okay?" Mike turned to the girls and said, "Call 911, what do you want?" ”
The girls rummaged through their phones in a flash of enlightenment, while Christina hurriedly unfastened the screensaver and said to Leon, "I'm sorry I'm going to hang up first, I'll call you later." ”
The moment she turned off the call, Leon heard a sentence from the other end of the phone,
"Hey, wait, my brother works in the District Attorney's Office, I've seen this woman, her name is Rachel Dawes...."
The phone turned off, and Leon's pupils contracted suddenly, and he quickly redialed Christina, but only "The person you are calling is on a call." ”
Rachel Dawes, the District Attorney's Office's rising star, Bruce Wayne's childhood best friend, and..... Targeted by the Gotham Gang.
Turning back to Christina, as she busily calls 911, five black-out cars silently drive from the back of the road, and the cold headlights envelop the confused and nervous teenagers.
The doors of the sedan opened neatly, and from above, more than a dozen cold-faced strong men in suits and leather shoes came down, faintly surrounding Christina and the others with a corner momentum.
Mike, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately raised his hands in the air and said to the people in black, "Hey, man, we're just here for an outing....."
A strong man in a suit coldly took an iron rod out of his coat pocket and slammed it on Mike's stomach, snatched Christina's mobile phone, pulled out a pistol amid the screams of a crowd of teenagers and girls, drove everyone into the middle of the road, and made them fall to their knees.
The man in black checked Rachel Dawes on the lawn, looked at the panicked high school students, and took out his phone to call Richard Sapa.
"Boss, Rachel Dawes caught it, but there were several witnesses at the scene, all of them teenagers, what should I do?"
