(Not finished, there will be another paragraph later)

new York.

Manhattan, on Park Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets.

The Waldorf Astoria Hotel is one of the most luxurious and famous five-star hotels in New York, the United States, and even the world.

This 42-story building has a dedicated suite for the President of the United States on the 35th floor.

Every time the President of the United States comes to New York, he basically stays in the presidential guest room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

This has made Waldorf Astoria the first choice hotel for presidents and dignitaries from many countries when they come to New York, USA.

. . .

In front of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

David got off his car, looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind above the hotel entrance, and sighed in his heart.

Livlyn G. Cheroff and Leslie Rockefeller, both of whom owned multiple properties in New York.

But after the two became a couple, they loved staying in various hotels in New York. .

What the hell kind of quirk is this?

David had a hard time understanding this. . !

. . .

ten minutes later.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel, in a suite on the 32nd floor.

Leslie, neatly dressed, opened the door and warmly invited David into the room.

in the room.

David looked around, sat down on the sofa in the living room, raised his eyebrows at Livlin, who came out of the bedroom wearing a long home dress, and said.

"When we were on the phone, you didn't say Leslie was with you..."

Livlin waved her hand nonchalantly, curled up her legs and sat on the sofa next to David, and handed over a check.

"This is 1000 million dollars~"

David took the check, flicked it, shook his head and smiled: "I think now... is it still too late to ask for support?"

"fxxx!"

Riley brought David a glass of juice and scolded him with a smile: "You kid, why are you here to steal business?"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Hahaha~"

Livlin and David looked at each other and laughed.

David really admires Livlin's ability to win over men!

Before, Leslie resisted Livlin's approach unwillingly.

What now?

Has the true fragrance theory been verified again?

David put the check away and gave Livlin a thumbs up: "Shall we go golfing again on the weekend?"

"I just happened to take the opportunity to ask you for advice~"

"Oh? ~Hehe~"

"Well, not on weekends~"

"It's Halloween soon~ Leslie and I are going to visit some elders' homes and bring some holiday gifts to the children~"

David was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Yes, it will be the end of the month soon!"

"Hmm~"

"How long do you plan to stay in New York? Are you going to California?"

Livlin smiled and shook her head, looking at Leslie with tender eyes.

Leslie crossed her legs, thought for a moment, then suppressed her smile and said, "Because of the unexpected death of my great grandfather, our family has changed some party rules."

"Every Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, the whole family must spend time together~"

"So this year, Grandpa Lois invites everyone to San Francisco to spend these holidays."

"Livlin and I are already together, so we should take her to meet her family and let everyone get to know each other!!"

"Understood~"

This is what juniors should do, and David understands this very well.

He turned to Livlin and smiled: "Christmas... we are going to spend it in New York~"

"Can you two still attend my engagement ceremony with Lilith this time?"

Livlin smiled nonchalantly and said: "It only takes a few hours to go back and forth from San Francisco to New York... Of course we will participate!"

"Don't worry! We have already thought about what gifts to give!"

"It's a surprise!"

David rolled his eyes, shook his head and waved his hands: "Thank you first!"

"Leave your surprise to Leslie~ I can't bear it~!"

"Hahahaha~"

. . .

After chatting for a while.

David stood up and left knowingly.

Livlin gave him a big hug as she walked him to the door, smiling slyly and teasingly.

"When will you figure it out? Be sure to contact me!"

David smiled and kissed her gently on both cheeks, shrugged and said with a smile: "I like the smell of you~!"

"Cut~"

"Haha~ Let Leslie give it to you."

"ok~bye!"

David and Leslie walked side by side to the elevator door.

Leslie looked back at the closed door of the room and said with a smile: "Tell me about it~ You came here not just to pick up the check, right?"

David glanced at the indicator light of the elevator, nodded and said, "Before I come, I really want to ask you for some news~"

"But they are no longer important to me now."

"Man, I'm so happy that you two actually get to be together~!"

Leslie teased: "Isn't this a good match made by you?"

"Hahaha~"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

David could clearly feel that Leslie was smiling happily from the bottom of her heart.

Leslie also seemed to know what the question David didn't ask was, and said, "Grandpa David has always wanted to talk to you again after you met the elders of my family last time."

"If you have any questions, you can go to Manhattan Bank and see him every morning~"

David raised his eyebrows in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay, I will!"

"Haha~ We will be back on November 11nd and 2rd~"

"ok~bye buddy~"

----

Manhattan.

The bank at the corner of 12th Avenue and 41st Street.

Officer Alston, who had just returned from investigating a case in New Jersey, parked his car on the street, said a few words to his colleague who was driving, and got out of the car.

He was going to withdraw some cash for tonight's date.

in the bank.

When Officer Alston, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in, there were not many people in the bank, and three counters were vacant.

Among the several female tellers, some were sorting out accounts with their heads down, while others were answering the phone.

Auston glanced at the bank manager who was on the phone, with a smile on his face, shook his head, walked aside and wrote a withdrawal form.

After a few minutes.

Auston wrote the order, took out his ID from his wallet, and was about to walk to the counter to withdraw money.

The bank manager suddenly walked up to him and said enthusiastically: "This... police officer? We must have met before! Right?"

Auston shrugged and said with a smile: "That's right~"

"Last month, when your bank was robbed..."

"Ah~ yes, yes! You were the first to arrive at the door and took control of the situation!"

"We would like to contact you later to express our gratitude."

Officer Alston gently shook the withdrawal slip in his hand and said with a smile, "Maybe you can do me a small favor first?"

"Um... do you want to withdraw money? No problem!"

"This way please~"

The bank manager enthusiastically pulled Auston to a counter, handed the withdrawal slip in Auston's hand to the female teller, and introduced Officer Auston's glorious deeds. .

in the counter.

After a few words of introduction from the manager, the two female tellers who had experienced the bank robbery that day also recognized Officer Alston.

They all came over, greeted Auston warmly, and said words of thanks~

at this time.

Three men in a hurry walked in from the door of the bank.

The leader, wearing a black hat, looked around at everyone in the bank, took out a pistol from the bag on his shoulder, and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

"Robbery!~"

The two people who followed him in quickly pulled out pistols from their arms and waists, pointed them at the security guard at the door and the people in front of the counter, and shouted: "Robbery!"

"Everyone, please stay away from those sirens, raise your hands above your head, and come out of them slowly!"

"Don't make any small moves!"

"We're not trying to hurt anyone, so don't do anything stupid!"

by the counter.

The female teller who was counting the money for Officer Allston stood up with her mouth open and her hands raised in surprise. Her big eyes flickered at Allston in front of her and outside the counter. .

Officer Alston, who was facing the robber sideways, also felt the gaze of the bank manager next to him. He raised his hands helplessly and whispered.

"Your place... is really lively~"

The bank manager raised his hands with a bitter look on his face and complained: "It's okay, today is the first robbery of the month~"

"Still... just?"

"fxxx!"

Officer Allston felt speechless.

He looked at the three robbers running around, moved his lips slightly and whispered: "Do as they say!"

"I will find an opportunity to save everyone!"

"..ok~"

Everyone in the bank followed the robber's instructions cooperatively and gathered in a corner away from the counter and the main entrance.

The leading little black hat robber pointed at the bank manager and asked him to open the bank safe.

The manager hesitated for two seconds, then walked slowly past Alston calmly. He was held at gunpoint by the robber and walked into the bank vault behind the counter.

Officer Alston was secretly glad that he had buttoned his coat when he was filling out the withdrawal form just now.

The robbers did not search anyone, and they did not know that the black police officer Alston in the crowd had a police gun under his arm!

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the vault behind the counter, the bank manager opened the safe very cooperatively and put neatly arranged bundles of banknotes into the bag thrown by the little black hat robber.

The two robbers who were guarding the hostages pointed their guns at the hostages. They kept turning their heads nervously to look in the direction of the gate and the vault.

Finally, in a few minutes.

The little black hat robber walked out of the vault carrying two large bags of banknotes, and locked the bank manager inside.

With a proud smile on his face, he threw a bag of money to his two accomplices and pointed the gun at the hostage.

"Everyone, slowly kneel down and lie down!"

"Put your hands on the back of your head and count to 100 loudly!"

"hurry up!"

"Don't let him play tricks on me!"

Officer Alston, who was standing among the hostages, took the lead and took a slight step forward. Following the robber's instructions, he slowly squatted down and lay on the ground. He put his head in his hands and started counting in a medium voice: "1, 2 ,3...”

The hostages also followed Officer Allston's example, slowly lying on the ground and counting loudly.

Little Black Hat turned around and motioned for his accomplices to go out, and shouted with a proud smile: "Yes! Don't do any tricks!"

"We stole the money, and the insurance company will compensate you!"

"Don't risk your life to be a hero!"

With that said, the little black hat robber, after making sure that the hostages were all cooperative and lying on the ground, quickly ran towards the door sideways.

But when the first robber walked out of the bank door and wanted to put away his gun and walked towards the car on the street, several gunshots rang out.

"Bang bang, bang bang~"

"fxxx!"

"Bang bang bang~"

The little black hat robber and his accomplices saw the man walking towards the car being shot down by the man hiding behind the street car. They fired back in panic and tried to retreat into the bank.

But behind them.

Officer Alston, who had been observing the situation silently, had already quietly gotten up, took out his police gun, pointed it at the two robbers who were retreating, and shouted: "Police!"

"lay down your weapon!"

"fxxx~!"

The two little black hat robbers, who had just been shocked that their companions were knocked down at the door of the bank, suddenly heard the sound behind them, and quickly turned around and raised their guns, trying to kill Officer Alston behind them first.

at this time.

Officer Alston decisively fired two shots at the two robbers who were less than ten meters apart, killing each other directly.

"Bang bang, bang bang~"

After a second.

The two robbers, with angry and unwilling expressions on their faces, slowly fell into a pool of blood.

Officer Allston didn't relax just because the two men were on the ground.

He cautiously stepped forward with his gun raised, kicked away the pistols that the two robbers had dropped on the ground, and only let out a long breath after making sure that they would not cause violence and hurt anyone again.

Outside the bank, on the street.

Alston's colleague, who had been waiting in the car, poked his head from behind the car with his gun raised and shouted.

"Hey~ How's it going in there?"

Officer Allston slowly put down his gun, looked at the little black hat robber who was still spitting out blood, turned off the gun safety, and shouted to his companions.

"Safety!"

"It's all done!"

. . .

ten minutes later.
