Chapter XXVII

Manhattan's Upper East Side, where every inch of land is at a premium, many celebrities, supermodels, political dignitaries, and the emerging class of the fintech industry choose to live here, unlike the beautiful scenery of Long Island, where transportation is convenient, shopping malls are numerous, and the famous Madison Avenue is a mecca for fashion fans, and almost every day, there will be stars of all colors lingering here.

At night, the Upper East Side is covered with a veil of glamour, with neon-lit streets and a quiet Central Park, where Sheriff Kelly's home is a high-rise residential neighborhood near Central Park.

Every unit here has a market price of more than $5 million, Kelly's house is a four-bedroom house, worth about $10 million, of course, Kelly is twenty-five years old, it is impossible for her to still live with her parents, near the police station, she has a small apartment of her own, today just because she is really unsure, she thinks it is necessary to consult her father, so she called home and agreed to have dinner together.

On the one hand, she felt that Mu Qingcheng was used by the FBI for no reason, and it was very likely to be killed, quite pitiful and innocent, this is not to say that she is soft-hearted, soft-hearted cannot be a policeman, nor does it mean that she has a good impression of Mu Qingcheng, the key is that Mu Qingcheng is the first person rescued from the gunmen since she joined the police, which has special significance for her, and she does not want Mu Qingcheng to die in vain.

On the other hand, the pressure in the police station is also very great, and the police officers all want to make great achievements, get promoted and make a fortune, and now they have such a good opportunity, how can they let it go?

It's just that once the police station cuts off the beard, it is equivalent to tearing up her face with the FBI, and she has to be cautious and listen to her father's opinion.

Kelly's father, Kingston, is a senior senator in New York City, although nominally, the senator is equivalent to a representative of the people's congress, but unlike the people's congress deputies, the political and economic resources, social influence and power of the senators are much greater, especially the senior senators, who have been in office for several consecutive terms, behind him, there is a large group of voters and the community of interests, and has already woven a huge network of social relations, and many important matters, the mayor of New York City must fully communicate with him before making decisions.

Kelly's mother, Allen, is a well-known lawyer in New York, runs a law firm, has a sympathetic political stance on immigrants, and has won several immigration lawsuits, so she is very influential among immigrants.

Kelly's family of three, her father is a senator, her mother is a lawyer, and her daughter is a sheriff, in fact, such a family is very scary in the United States, although it is not as good as most of the rich class in terms of money, but its influence is far beyond it, such a family is professionally engaged in politics, once the opportunity comes, it is the mayor of New York, the governor of New York, and even the president of the United States is not impossible.

Kelly's dinner was an American standard family dinner, with butter milk bread, fried rice with meat cubes, boiled green beans and beef fillet, creamy corn, mushroom chicken and cheese baked rice, garden salad, chocolate cake, and a bottle of aperitif.

"During this time, you rarely come back, your mother always uses takeout to fool my stomach, today I heard that you came back for dinner, but she was very happy, from noon she drove to Long Island to buy green and fresh ingredients, and it took an afternoon to put out this table of food, all of which you love to eat, you must eat more. Kingston was at home, playing the role of a loving father, and although he was nearly fifty years old, he was still handsome and in good shape, and greeted with a smile.

The corners of Kelly's eyes showed a hint of apology, and she nodded and said, "There are too many things at the police station, I will arrange a time in the future and come back as much as possible." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chocolate cake and took a small bite gently, the familiar taste seemed to be never tired of eating, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!"

Alan is in his forties, lean and neat, and Kelly is fifty or sixty percent similar in appearance, but his body is thinner, and then his face is full of love, and he said with a smile: "Work is important, but don't exhaust yourself, come back more when you have time, and eat more if you like." “

"Hmm~~" Kelly puffed out her cheeks and nodded violently.

It's rare for a family of three to get together for dinner, and the atmosphere is still very good, but Kelly always looks like she wants to talk and stops, and Alan can't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, Mom!" Kelly sorted out her words and said, "I found a very interesting person in the precinct who always causes trouble......"

Kelly told the story as it was, and finally added, "Dad, I want to hear from you. “

Kingston pondered for a long time and asked, "Kelly, you actually already have an idea, but you're just worried about a conflict with the FBI, aren't you?"

"Yes. Kelly nodded and said: "I only know when I am a sheriff, many times, I have to refer to the following opinions, if I don't agree, the whole police department will be dissatisfied with me, and it is very unfair to Mu Qingcheng, but I also have my difficulties, after all, the police only need to be responsible for me, and if the police department participates in the encirclement and suppression of Mexican drug lords, they will face the accusations of the FBI, and I will bear the brunt." “

Alan smiled with relief: "Kelly, if you can think like this, it means that you are mature enough to be a sheriff." “

"Thank you~~" Kelly reluctantly smiled: "What the hell should I do?"

Kingston said solemnly: "I will personally participate in this matter!"

"What?" Kelly looked at in surprise.

"Yes!" Kingston said seriously: "If I wasn't there, even if I caught the drug lord, you might not be able to withstand the pressure of the FBI, and you would probably work in vain, but I'm different, I don't have to worry about the FBI, and the FBI has to be cautious about my opinion."

And the arrest of drug lords is also of great significance to me, because you are my daughter, so this will become my political achievement, and I can use this to introduce an anti-drug bill, which will help improve my positive image, I have been a senator for ten years, and I have accumulated enough, now I only need an opportunity, once I have the right opportunity, maybe I can run for the next mayor of New York. “

"That's right. Kelly felt like she was being taken advantage of, and there was a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Alan couldn't help laughing and said: "Kelly, you should be glad that your father can tell you the truth, after all, you are our relative, we don't need to hide it from you, and you don't blame your father, he is a senator, and he must consider the problem from the perspective of interests."

If this thing is done, it will be good for you, the police department, Mu Qingcheng, and your father, and it will be a win-win result, so why not do it?

In fact, you are also going to enter politics in the future, and my mother hopes that you can learn more from your father, not necessarily to learn from him, but you must learn the way of thinking in politics. “

Kelly suddenly felt a headache, she was not interested in politics, she would rather dance with a knife and a gun, but now is not the time to discuss this topic, she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so she said: "I understand Dad, I won't have any ideas, and I have a request, the FBI will inevitably retaliate against Mu Qingcheng in the future, I hope Dad can come forward to protect him." “

"I see. Kingston was silent for a long time before he spoke.
