Chapter 1454: Disaster

"Please show me your ID." The bright light of the flashlight made it difficult for Ma Wenji to open his eyes, but he was still familiar with this process. He gestured and handed over his driver's license and passport.

Another policeman took his ID and went to the police car to verify his identity information. The policeman looked at the situation in the car through the open window and saw three adult men. He was obviously suspicious.

But Fat An’s photography equipment helped. “Officer, we are Chinese tourists who have just arrived in Silicon Valley,” Ma Wenzhuo explained.

The policeman who verified the documents came back and whispered a few words to this person. It was probably nothing more than that the documents were genuine and they had just entered the country today.

"First of all, your driver's license can drive in China, but not in California. And you don't have an international driver's license, so you can't drive in California,"

Ma Wenzhen knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart.

In fact, it doesn't matter at all - as long as you don't encounter the police.

Fortunately, it was not impossible. His passport was newly issued and there was no record of previous visas entering and exiting the United States. "I'm sorry, officer, I don't know the laws of California. After the car rental company saw my driver's license, they took the car." Rented to me,"

"The rental contract is not a legal document that allows you to legally drive on the road," the police officer choked out.

How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves? Ma Wenji apologized again. His attitude was good. As long as there were no substantive problems, the American police were actually easy to talk to. The police did not bother with him too much on this issue. "Do you know what problems you have?"

Ma Wenji shook his head.

"This is a disabled parking space," the policeman pointed to the ground.

Done! Only then did Ma Wenji remember this.

The United States is the first country in the world to pass a law to protect persons with disabilities, so it is also ahead of other countries in the world in protecting the rights and interests of persons with disabilities.

Let’s talk about parking spaces. In public parking lots, the most convenient places for entry and exit are usually parking spaces for disabled people, which have the internationally accepted symbol for disabled people, “blue wheelchair,” painted on them.

When he was in the United States, Ma Wenzheng knew about it and completely abided by it. However, in the past few years in China, he was used to being a big man. For example, when he made a fuss about Jin Ling, he stopped the BMW directly. In the square in front of the office building.

Once such a bad habit is formed, it is difficult to change. When he parked his car just now, he parked directly in the most prime parking space at the end of the exit without thinking.

The policeman had already taken out the ticket and walked around to the car to take a look. "The front wheel also ran over the divider and invaded the disabled parking space next to it,"

I glanced at the old Ford again. Why do you still have to park here when the parking space is so empty? I quickly wrote a ticket, but it was the maximum fine for similar behavior, $500.

Ma Wenji didn't feel sad about this, "Thank you, police officer,"

In fact, he should ask for some love, even if he knew it was useless.

The policeman was stunned for a moment, "Pay attention to the traffic rules and drive safely," waved his hand, "You can go,"

…………

Although it was a bit of a hassle, it ended well.

"I'm sweating all over." After the car started to move, Pang An touched his head. "I really shouldn't be in a hurry to come here today."

Relying on his seniority and the fact that there were not many professionals like him in front of Mr. Wang, Pang An was not too polite in front of Ma Wenzhuo.

"American police seem to be pretty easy to talk to," Yang Shan said, looking at the police car over there.

Ma Wenzhuo, who had been having a rough afternoon, finally couldn't hold it back and gave Fat An a small reply, "I found Feng Yiping's other car. Today is not without success."

"He will definitely take this car tomorrow?" Fat An retorted.

"Mr. Ma, why is that police car following us again?" Yang Shan asked.

"He is patrolling in this area," Ma Wenzhen said without even looking at him. He was eager to retaliate against Fat An, "When he comes early tomorrow morning, he just changed to another car. Couldn't you see clearly just now? "

While the two of them were bickering, the Escalade easily drove a few hundred meters away.

"I said, can you please stop arguing?" Yang Shan's voice became louder, "Mr. Ma, it seems that the police car behind you is not what you said,"

Ma Wenji finally took a look. Damn it, right? He was about to pull over, but it was already too late. The police car that had been ignored for a long time no longer only flashed its lights and honked in front of the Escalade. This time it was not as easy to talk to as before, "Get out of the car!"

Fat An, who had not yet decided whether to win or lose in the car, was about to argue a few words. Without putting his hands on the car, he immediately made a "pang" sound and was pinned down on the car.

To be honest, their indifference to the $500 fine made the two policemen a little unhappy. Are you so awesome?

"Don't move, don't resist," Ma Wenzhuo quickly warned him, "Officer, what's going on?"

"Driving without a license," the question they just ignored was raised again. "Severe speeding, ignoring warnings, and intending to escape," the policeman said coldly.

At this time, Ma Wenzhuo wanted to hit his head against the car. Damn it, he was careless again. It was all because of that fat guy who wanted to quarrel with him.

In the United States, sometimes speeding is not a big deal. For example, on ordinary highways, although the speed limit is 55 miles per hour, basically everyone is speeding, at least around 60 miles per hour. This is not a big problem.

But in towns or places close to towns, the number next to it is 15 or 25, so you must strictly abide by it at this time.

And it is best to be about 5 miles lower than the speed limit, because unlike in China, the actual speed will be lower than the speedometer in the car. For American cars, the actual speed is consistent with the speedometer.

Otherwise, it is easy for you to step on the accelerator and exceed the speed limit by several miles to more than ten miles in a short period of time, but even in such a short time, you cannot escape the sharp eyes of the well-equipped American police.

The speed limit here is 25. When I was arguing with Fat An just now, the speed was not 45, but 40.

…………

Before dawn on the 4th, Florida was being ravaged by Hurricane Frances. From Miami Beach to Kennedy Space Center, in the heavy rain, the strong wind uprooted many trees, and the roofs of many houses were also blown off. The streets were in a mess, and the power supply of nearly 2 million residents was cut off.

This is the first time in 100 years that two Category 3 hurricanes have jointly hit the same state, but the last time, there was a 6-week interval between the two hurricanes, and both were Category 3. This time, there was only a 3-week interval, and both were Category 4.

But at this time, Silicon Valley is still calm.

However, the detention room of the Mountain View Police Department was not peaceful.

Ma Wenxi and Fatty An, still sitting on both sides, you dislike me, I dislike you, Yang Shan sat in the middle helplessly. If he had known this, he would have come alone, but who told him not to understand English?

Ma Wenxi was so depressed that he couldn't be more depressed. Why is it like this?

At this time, a very frivolous whistle sounded in the small detention room, "Asian boy, come here,"

Ma Wenxi heard the sound and looked at it, and immediately got goose bumps all over his body.

The bearded man who occupied half of the wall and wore a black leather vest on his upper body was looking at him with lustful eyes, yes, that kind of eyes, with an expression of I really want you.

He held back his nausea and said, "go/f%uck/yourself,"

"Hahaha," Fatty An couldn't help laughing, "He is indeed a handsome man, and he is loved by everyone,"

Ma Wenzhe glared at him, but the two of them did not fight. The strong man with good vision felt insulted by three thin Asian men and rushed over angrily.

"Fuck you," Yang Shan, who was also furious, went up to him without hesitation, dodged the opponent's fist, and elbowed him. The strong man screamed "Ah" and punched Fatty An to another group of people. As for Ma Wenzhe, he still couldn't bear to do it.

Among the innocent people affected, several of them were not good people, so with that "Ah", the detention room quickly turned into a melee...

…………

On the morning of the 4th, Ma Wenzhe and the other three, followed by a lawyer, finally walked out of the police station.

It's just that this time, the three of them didn't look good. Let's not talk about the clothes. Including Ma Wenxi, all three of them had bruises on their faces.

The most annoying thing is that the police station can't give any explanation for this matter, and the beating was in vain.

"Hiss," Fat An touched his eyes and pulled Yang Shan, "Beauty is a disaster, what do you think, call him Ma Huoshui?"

Yang Shan shook his head. He really wanted to say that this guy was not beaten enough.

"Boss Ma," he pulled Ma Wenxi, "Are you still going?"

"Let's go back to the hotel first," Ma Wenxi said, covering his mouth.

He covered his mouth today, not to yawn, but because his mouth was swollen, "Let's go back and deal with it first, otherwise it will be too conspicuous to go out like this,"

In fact, what he wanted to say was that it was too damaging to his image.

The matter was not clear, but the people went to the police station first. Boss Wang didn't even bother to call them. All matters, including lawyers, were arranged by Lao Chen.

Ma Wenxi also reflected on himself. He was indeed at fault for the fact that things had developed to this point. He was too impatient and too careless.

He certainly did not think that he was too self-righteous.

In fact, those who came to the United States for the first time would not make the mistakes he made yesterday, because they would be very careful and attentive.

…………

On this day, Ma Wenxi and his team did not go to the clinic in Chinatown to wait, but stayed in the hotel. In fact, they did not miss anything, because Feng Yiping stayed at home with Huang Jingping and her daughter all day, and did not go down the mountain.

"Why are the hurricanes in the United States so powerful? I think they are much more powerful than those typhoons along our coast," said Huang Jingping, watching the violent storm sweeping across the empty Kennedy Space Center on TV, and the towering launch pads seemed to be swaying in the wind.

"Who told it to be on both sides of the sea," Feng Yiping said, "So, this thing,"

"There are always two sides," Huang Jingping said, "Then tell me, such a strong hurricane, in addition to the losses, is there any good side?"

"Of course, for insurance companies and airlines, such a hurricane will bring them huge losses, but for those food retailers, home repair companies, and decoration tool retailers, is this a good opportunity?" Feng Yiping asked.

Of course, when a hurricane comes, residents must prepare food in advance, and the broken house must be repaired.

"You are always right," Huang Jingping stuffed a large piece of apple into his mouth.

"I am the best, right Amanda?" Feng Yiping said to his daughter.

"You are the best, then tell me what other benefits there are besides these obvious ones?"

"There is also," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "If I am not wrong, the areas in Florida that have been frequently hit by hurricanes this year will have a significant increase in the birth rate next year,"

"How is it possible?"

"Think about it, a hurricane is coming, not only will there be no electricity, but everyone will have to stay at home most of the time. At night, they can only light candles, and then, what will they do? They can only choose entertainment methods under the rules of nature, right?"

"What's right, that's what you think,"

"Also, the trees on the roadside have been blown down, the electric poles have fallen down, and the road is filthy. How many housewives are willing to take the risk to go to the pharmacy? Naturally, there will be more pregnant people there during this period of time,"

"It's a far-fetched argument, I don't believe it," Huang Jingping said.

"Then let's make a bet. In June next year, the areas I mentioned will definitely usher in a baby boom. If not, I agree with you on one thing, otherwise, you agree to one thing,"

Huang Jingping was silent for a while, "I won't bet with you,"

Zhang Yan mentioned the bet that Jin Ling made with Feng Yiping in Athens. Sister Jin, it's true. Huang Jingping looked at Feng Yiping lying on the sofa teasing Amanda. Alas, it is said that beauty is a disaster, and men who are excellent to a certain extent are even more of a disaster.

Of course, if she knew that another man was being compared in this way today, she would definitely not think so at this moment.
