Chapter 35 Gifts and 640 million
On Christmas Eve on December 24th, Jennifer went out to the company early in the morning, and she needed to report to the company in advance to prepare for the company's cocktail party, mainly to follow the regular employees and the party company to connect with various chores for the evening cocktail party, and arrange the venue.
Locke can only come to the library alone to read books, which is also a habit he has developed, compared to reading novels and playing games in his previous life, Locke is obviously more active in this life.
Until the evening, Locke drove his rented car to the underground garage, took the elevator to the lobby reception, and chatted with the receptionist.
In the past few days, he came to pick up Jennifer from work, and the front desk was also familiar with Locke, so he let him go after asking a few words.
Arriving on the thirtieth floor, the elevator door opened with a clang, and a noisy scene was presented in front of Locke.
Stepping out of the elevator and looking for the person he was looking for in the crowd, Locke soon saw Jennifer, who was acting as a makeshift waiter.
Seeing Jennifer's dress, Rock whistled: "Looks like there's going to be an exciting Christmas night tonight." ”
Smiling and muttering to himself, Locke walked over to Jennifer and put his arms around her.
"Ahh Jennifer screamed softly, turned her head and recognized Locke: "Scared me to death!" ”
Holding Jennifer's hand so that the tray in her hand would not fall, Locke smiled, "This is a surprise." ”
Jennifer and Locke came to the thirty-fourth floor, which was the chairman's reception room, and at this time, the employees were enjoying the party on the thirty floor, and there was no one here.
"You bastard, can't you wait?"
Locke didn't answer, blocking Jennifer's fiery lips, and the two of them exchanged views here.
Jennifer was wearing a slim-fitting women's suit on her upper body, and the suit skirt below was about ten centimeters above her knees, dressed as a standard professional woman, and Locke lifted the skirt with a little force, and her hands were dishonest.
For men, uniforms are indeed a catalyst, and Locke is in high spirits at this time.
Jennifer also seemed to be infected, her legs clamped around Locke's waist, and he held her up, the two lingered for a while, Locke chuckled and said, "My big beauty is so sweet, my stockings are worth it." ”
Jennifer was glaring, breathing heavily, and did not answer his words.
She was obviously prepared, whether it was this dress or stockings, it was the type that Locke liked.
More than an hour later, Jennifer leaned limply on the plush sofa in the reception room, her eyes were foggy, and Locke packed up and went to the window, looking out at the street scene of Los Angeles.
"How many more days can you stay?" After a while, Jennifer's voice came from behind him.
"Three or four days, when your father comes, I don't want to face his face."
Jennifer's father didn't have a good face every time he saw Locke, and he couldn't do anything about it, after all, he arched the cabbage in other people's houses.
As he spoke, Locke pulled out a gift box from the inside pocket of his jacket and sat down next to Jennifer.
"Christmas presents?" Jennifer smiled and took it, opening the outer package, which was a jewelry box with Tiffany's logo.
"This can't be a ring, is it?!" Jennifer looked at Locke with a smile.
"You'll know when you open it."
"Okay." Jennifer opened the box, revealing a pair of diamond earrings.
Glancing at the price tag, Jennifer was slightly stunned: "Six thousand dollars? It's too precious! ”
"Trust me, it's nothing." Locke smiled and took out the earrings: "I'll bring them to you." ”
Naturally, the label can't be removed, otherwise who knows if the jewelry is six thousand dollars or six dollars, Locke has always been upright.
Jennifer was pleasantly surprised and had some complications, she and Locke weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend, and the relationship between the two had actually ended since she graduated.
For a girl like her, there is never a shortage of suitors around her, especially in the university environment of the United States, and it is not uncommon for beautiful girls to seamlessly transition after a breakup.
After going to college, perhaps Locke was too impressed, and for a long time, she did not respond to the pursuit of other male classmates.
Finally, a few days ago, she agreed to have dinner with a classmate who had been pursuing her and had a good impression, but she got the news that Rock had come to Los Angeles to participate in the competition.
She almost didn't hesitate to show up, because Locke always had a charm that she couldn't refuse, even knowing that he was a playboy.
When Locke left again, she didn't know how long it would take for her to force herself to stop thinking about this bastard again.
"Worthy of you."
Locke's words recalled Jennifer's thoughts, since it's all like this, it's better to enjoy this moment, thinking of this, she put her hands on Locke's shoulders and greeted her with red lips.
"Boom !!"
At this moment, a violent explosion was heard, and both men stopped moving.
"What's going on?" Jennifer was slightly stunned.
The sound came from across the street, and Locke quickly came to the window, and immediately saw the fire and billowing smoke coming from the building across the street.
"It's not like a gas line explosion or something." Looking at the aftermath of the explosion, Locke said in his heart: "It's more like a bomb." ”
"Oh God, it's Zhongfu Building, what the hell is going on?!" Jennifer came to Locke's side and couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
"Zhongfu Building?!" Locke felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and he thought about it randomly and quickly, and finally found a movie in his memory, which seemed to be an action movie in which a police detective named John faced dozens of gun-wielding men alone.
"How much do you know about that Zhongfu Building, and who is their boss?" Locke asked.
"It's a Japanese-owned company, and the owner is called Aoki or something, and Oriental names are always a bit strange." Jennifer recalled, then pointed to the street below and said:
"Look, there's police there, oh my God, they're even driving armored cars."
Sure enough, it is worthy of the United States, the police can take out this kind of thing at will, and ordinary gangsters have no way to take this kind of armored car.
Locke was thinking so, and the next moment, with a whoosh, a line of fire shot out from the second floor of the building.
"Boom!" The armored car, which was driving up the steps, was hit by a rocket and completely turned into a pile of burning scrap metal.
It seems like there's more to the world than just sitcoms, but there's no need for me to be involved in that. ’
A familiar scene made Locke let this be exactly what he had seen in the movie, he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in things, and his first thought was not to cause trouble, but he quickly thought of one thing.
The robbers appear to have targeted $640 million in bearer bonds held in the vaults of Zhongfu.
The name bearer bond sounds quite lofty, but in fact it is the treasury bills of the East Country, that is, the national debt, but the figure of 640 million US dollars makes Locke can't help but be moved fiercely.
"It's probably something big happened, let's go back first." Locke proposed.
Jennifer nodded, and the two of them cleaned up their traces and returned to the thirtieth floor, where they saw almost everyone gathered by the window to watch the movement across the street, and some people held binoculars that they didn't know where to find to observe, reporting in real time.
Locke followed and stood by the window for a while, took the initiative to chat with a few other people, and then quietly left while everyone's attention was attracted by the building opposite.
Quickly came downstairs from the safe passage, Locke performed a stealth technique, and according to the plot in his memory, he came to the parking lot, and then took the elevator to the twenty-ninth floor.
The $640 million bearer bond is really fragrant, and according to the plot in his memory, the chance of getting it is very high, and the chance of being found afterwards is also very small.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Locke heard a loud explosion, and he quickly ran upstairs, where he soon saw a man in a suit with two people holding a woman hostage and leaving quickly.
Locke's main concern was the bag carried by a robber who followed the man in a suit, which contained $640 million worth of bonds.
"Bang!" The robber's younger brother, who was walking behind with a bag, was knocked down by Detective John McLean, who was hiding around the corner, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the $640 million worth of bonds inside were also scattered on the ground.
"Hans!" John McLean ignored the bonds, shouting the name of the robber leader, and stood in front of Hans and his younger brother with a UMP.
John could be seen badly injured, limping forward for a short while: "You're here for this, for a fucking robbery!" ”
"Put the gun down!"
"Why blow up the whole building, Hans."
"If you steal 600 yuan, you can disappear immediately, if you steal 600 million, they will definitely find you at all costs, unless they think you are dead."
Hans put the gun in the head of John McLean's wife, Holly: "Now put down the gun and raise your hands, Detective McLean." ”
John laughed miserably, slowly lowered the UMP in his hand, and finally threw it aside.
Watching the confrontation between the two sides, Locke, who was still using invisibility, came behind John and put the bonds that fell on the ground into the storage space.
After the bond was in hand, Locke did not stop, left quickly, and returned to the building opposite, all the way to the stealth technique, not to mention that the police and reporters surrounding the building could not see, even if there was surveillance, it was impossible to detect his movements.
