Chapter 456: The Media Gets Moved

Lu Chong knew that with the ubiquitous surveillance system in the United States and the confessions of the people involved at the scene, this issue would be raised sooner or later.

However, he was not ready to answer, just spread his hands and said: "Maybe their driving skills are too poor, or maybe the modified car has been tampered with, God knows what's going on." In your words, thank God that this is a miracle!"

The reason why Lu Chong opened the car window when he was singing the war song was to let the noise outside suppress the sound of his singing war song, so as not to cause trouble afterwards, after all, there was an unfamiliar driver in the car at that time.

Hanks knew that the people who went to surround Lu Chong were all extremely trained soldiers, and there would never be a low-level driving mistake, let alone a few people making mistakes at the same time.

F.B.I. experts have conducted mock tests based on footage from on-site surveillance, but have not been able to find the cause of that situation anyway. According to their calculations, if it weren't for the fact that five of the cars suddenly lost control at the same time, Lu Chong's nanny car would have been destroyed at most if they could only hold on for a few more minutes.

Hanks is a devout Christian, but that doesn't mean he will believe Lu Chong's words, when will God bless an Oriental who doesn't believe in him?

However, Lu Chong's current identity is a victim, and he still has the aura of an American people's superhero, Hanks can't force him to answer any questions at all.

And the strangeness in this may not necessarily be Lu Chong's doing, Hanks can only give up, and leave this suspicion to the technical experts to study.

"Mr. Lu, the higher-ups are very shocked that such a heroic figure as you was attacked on American soil. In order to ensure your safety, please cooperate with us for the time being, live in our designated place, and the senior management will give you an explanation as soon as possible after consultation!"

"However, until a final decision is made at the top, please remain silent to the media for the time being. ”

It didn't take long for Hanks to answer a phone call, but he couldn't give Lu Chong a solution on the spot.

It seems that even the top management of the FBI is very hesitant about this matter, and it is unfair to him to prohibit Lu Chong from continuing to carry out propaganda activities. However, it is irresponsible for Lu Chong's safety to let him continue his propaganda trip, and it may also bring great hidden dangers to public safety.

Lu Chong didn't urge, it was already nearly two o'clock in the morning, and there was no need to rush it.

The FBI prepared an independent villa for Lu Chong and his entourage, and a large number of armed personnel were arranged around to defend it, so there was no need to worry about being attacked for the time being.

However, he and Avril had scheduled a romantic night tonight, but it had to be canceled, and he was not in a hurry to do something inappropriate under the guard of a group of soldiers.

However, when Joanna was about to go to her room to sleep, Lu Chong stopped her and whispered to her.

Joanna, who was originally depressed, listened to Lu Chong's words, but her eyes lit up, and she gave Lu Chong a thumbs up, and her face returned to relaxation.

Early the next morning, a tired Hanks appeared in front of Lu Chong and the others again, but there was an extremely dissatisfied look on his face.

"Mr. Lu, I think I stressed to you yesterday that you can't leak yesterday's events to the media without our permission. As a sign of respect for a hero, I didn't confiscate your communications equipment, but it looks like I made the wrong decision!"

As soon as the sky was dark, the outside of this villa was already surrounded by a reporting team sent by major media outlets. It's just that the soldiers who are in charge of defense outside have forcefully refused the media's request for an interview without receiving orders from the top.

And Lu Chong and the four of them were also forbidden to go out to contact the outside media, and Hanks rushed over after knowing about the situation.

Lu Chong smiled silently, but Joanna stood up and said to Hanks with a sneer: "Mr. Detective, we have already scheduled today's itinerary, and now we are just following your FBI's request to inform you that these activities are being cancelled." Since we have to cancel the trip, we have to give a reason, as for whether the organizer who receives the news will notify the media, this is beyond our control!"

Joanna did not notify any of the media, Lu Chong only told her last night to leak the news to the venues that were scheduled to hold the event today, and she did the same.

For well-known reasons, Americans are extremely sensitive to terrorist attacks, and it is only natural that those organizers who have received the news will leak the information to the media.

Hanks was choked by Joanna and didn't know how to refute it for a while. He did just emphasize yesterday that they should not inform the media, but he didn't expect that Joanna caught this loophole.

Now that the matter has come to this, and there are even TV stations outside that have begun to broadcast the footage live, the FBI's insistence on keeping everything secret will definitely provoke a strong backlash from the media.

In the United States, the word freedom of the press is not just a rhetoric, and the powerful power of the media is something that even the president and Congress are afraid of, after all, they cannot do without the help of the major media when they are elected.

"Mr. Lu, after learning that the news has been leaked, the senior management has made a decision, I will inform you first, I hope that when facing the media for a while, you can keep the same tone with us!"

Lu Chong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, as long as the news of his attack by the terrorists spread, his goal had already been achieved. As for what to do next, it won't hurt him, it will only increase his influence.

However, when Hanks told the decision of the high-level, Lu Chong's face still changed, but he didn't expect these guys to react quite quickly, and the decision was ...... What a surprise!

But that's what he wants!

The closed door of the villa was finally opened, and Lu Chong and Avril, accompanied by Hanks, appeared in front of the media with a smile on their faces, and waved their hands in the direction of the camera easily.

Immediately there was a burst of cheers from the direction of the media, as if to welcome the arrival of a hero.

"Mr. Lu, there is news that you were attacked on the road last night, and this attack was in retaliation for you in the last hijacking, is this news true?

"Lu Chong, since you are safe and sound, does it mean that those attackers have been subdued by you again?"

"Mr. Lu......"

As soon as they left the door, the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed up, and dozens of microphones with the logos of major media also stretched out in the direction of Lu Chong as much as possible through the cordon surrounded by the soldiers.

Among the reporters, Lu Chong also found an old acquaintance, Diana, a reporter and location host of his "Good Morning, America" program who had interviewed him in a small café in New York.
