Chapter 1395: Tunnel
"It feels like an ordinary casual jacket, boss, is it really bulletproof?"
"Armor-piercing bullets can't be prevented. Ordinary bullets are fine, but they don't have the effect of military hard body armor. When a bullet hits the chest, the impact force is likely to break ribs."
"That's great too."
In a changing room in Southampton's seaside villa, Chen Qing and Yu Xiaomin helped their boss put on a special casual outfit. The black jacket and black trousers looked ordinary on the outside, but they were actually a special kind of casual clothes. A lightweight bulletproof suit made of polymer materials.
Inspired by the "Sweet Life" I just watched, I suddenly want to go out and explore, but I can't just leave.
Safety first.
Even so, the head of the bodyguard who learned that Simon planned to go out late at night in Manhattan still had a bitter face, hoping that his boss would not do so rashly.
Someone is literally more likely to be attacked now than any head of state.
After changing his clothes, Simon went out of the changing room, motioned Chen Qing and Yu Xiaomin to go outside first, and said to the bitter head of the female guard: "Didn't you install a regional monitoring system a while ago, just treat tonight as a drill, Remember to make a special report for me tomorrow."
Seeing her boss like this, the leader of the female guard had no choice but to agree.
It was another arrangement, and the time was past twelve midnight in a blink of an eye.

Simon wanted to drive a cool sports car, but he only got a business-style Maybach from the security team. In fact, there is no shortage of sports cars in the garage of the villa. It was just because of Simon’s impromptu inspection that the cars had not been checked in detail. The team strongly does not recommend using it for your own boss.
Simon didn't insist on that.
Not counting the other two groups of bodyguards in the accompanying car, only Chen Qing was sitting beside her, and she drove out in person, obviously unfamiliar, walking through the narrow asphalt lanes in Southampton's residential area, and directly bumped into a street light pole when turning a corner, and the traffic lights were on the spot. The lights were destroyed, and the Maybach, which was strong enough to resist the bomb attack, had nothing to do with it. It didn't even go around and just pushed it over the fallen street light pole.
The main thing is that I don't know how to reverse the car.
Sitting on the co-pilot, Chen Qing was both worried and excited, and at the same time quietly checked whether the seat belt was fastened.
Simon was somewhat restrained in the urban alleys, and soon entered the highway leading to Manhattan. There were few vehicles in the middle of the night, and he began to gradually release.
All right.
In fact, it can only 'fly' to 60 miles at most, which is about 100 kilometers. It is a world of difference from the driver around you who not only steps on the accelerator to 100 miles but also plays drifting.
From Southampton to Manhattan, nearly a hundred miles away, it took two hours.
Even though it has not been up for the sake of safety, it has been a long time since I have had this kind of experience, and I am still very happy.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning.
For New York, the city that never sleeps, it is certainly not too late.
Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, Simon drove all the way from downtown to No. 220 on 12th Avenue, the westernmost side of Manhattan Island.
There is a famous night market, the tunnel.
On the previous timeline, it was the one that Vin Diesel had seen before he became famous, and it was often mentioned in film and television works related to New York such as "Sex and the City".
The entrance to the Tunnel Nightclub looks like a station entrance, and it is actually a remodeled abandoned train station.
Even though it was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, it was still very lively here.
The calm style of the Maybach luxury car, which is obviously incompatible with this side, stopped, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Simon and Chen Qing got out of the car, and four security guards, half men and half women, got off from the two Land Rover behind the Maybach all the time.
When some spectators vaguely felt that the man getting on and off the Maybach seemed to be a big man, a group of people had already greeted him.
The leader was a woman, wearing a black suspender dress that barely covered her thighs, but it was Madonna.
Even with the memory of two lifetimes, it's been a long time since I had such an experience, and it's inevitable that I'm as unfamiliar as driving, so I just grabbed a guide and came over. Among the acquaintances on this side of Manhattan, McQueen is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Her Lady Queen trotted forward, jumped directly onto Simon, and hugged the man in front of her with her hands and feet like a koala: "Simon, you are finally willing to come out of your castle to relax, come, kiss... ah, it hurts so much!" , hateful man, I managed to go to bed early once, and you woke me up and beat me."
Simon saw that he had no intention of letting the woman let go of the two 50 cents just now, but entangled him even tighter. He said helplessly, "Maggie, if you keep doing this, we will be in the headlines tomorrow?"
"It's good to be on the headlines. I haven't been on the headlines for a long time, and the sales of the latest record are not good. You just help me."
"The problem is, you seem to have lost everything behind you. Could this be pajamas?"
"Just treat it as a welfare for everyone, and, of course, this is not pajamas. I never wear clothes when I sleep."
"Hmm, no need to explain so clearly."
"Haha, feel it, I don't have anything in it now."
Simon simply refused to answer these words, and motioned to Chen Qing beside him: "This is Chen."
"Hello."
Queen Mai reached out to shake hands with Chen Qing, and after all she got off Simon's body, took the man's arm and walked towards the gate of the tunnel night scene, while not forgetting to introduce the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses who just greeted him together: "This is Peter Gatty Ann, boss of the tunnel, oh," the Queen
As the man spoke, he did not forget to help explain: "Peter is missing one eye. He was wearing a blindfold, like a pirate. He changed his sunglasses when he knew you were coming."
Simon noticed the other party just now. He was curious about why he was wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, and he also thought of a certain fake filmmaker. He only understood after listening to Queen Mai's introduction, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Gatien."
"Call me Peter, Mr. Westeros, Peter is fine," Peter Gatien shook hands with Simon as he walked, obviously reluctant to let go, but had to let go, and continued with him: "Westeros Sir, it is a real honor for you to come here, can you take a group photo later?"
Simon shook his head with a smile.
Peter Gatien didn't show any disappointment on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just hope Mr. Westeros can have a good time."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome."
Chen Qing followed behind her boss, and whispered to the head of the female guard who followed, and after Peter Gatien had greeted her boss, she was about to enter the door and called to him: "Mr. Gatien?"
Peter Gatien heard Chen Qing calling himself, and slowed down: "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Chen Qing signaled to the female guard of her boss next to her: "About the matter of security, can you help me coordinate?"
Peter Gatien nodded readily: "Of course."
As he spoke, he called for a follower of his own, and quickly explained something to let the other party cooperate.
Seeing that her boss and Queen Mai had entered the door arm in arm, Chen Qing said to the head waitress, "Follow me, I'm here to help."
Regarding her own position, Chen Qing has always been very upright.
Doing things is still the first.
Especially tonight, her boss brought her out together. If there were any mistakes, Cape Dumei Manor would blame her 100% and did not run away.
Hearing what Chen Qing said, the leader of the female guard hesitated a little, but still nodded, and called the other three to follow in.
The idea is the same as Chen Qingyi.
Chen Qing joined the remaining group of bodyguards and began to strengthen security measures with the security team of the tunnel.
At the same time, the crowd who were coming and going at the gate of the tunnel night show finally reacted.
The battle just now, as well as the appearance of Madonna and the personal appearance of the tunnel boss Peter Gatien, it must be Simon Westeros!
O Simon Westeros!
After confirming this, everyone flocked to the gate immediately, and no one planned to leave.
It's a pity that the security at the gate has also been suddenly strengthened. It is no longer possible to enter and exit unimpeded because of the late night, and the queuing scene during popular hours has reappeared.
Furthermore, all the people waiting in line basically took out their mobile phones and started dialing.
Peter Gatien just hoped that Simon would leave a video but was rejected, but he was not disappointed at all, because he knew that even if there were no photos, the news of Simon Westeros appearing in the tunnel night scene after dawn would spread throughout the city, making this The prestige of the nightclub, which was already very famous, was raised to a higher level.
The reality is that Peter Gatien is clearly underestimated.
Because there was no need to wait until dawn, within half an hour, the news had already spread throughout the Big Apple. Countless people flocked here for the first time, including Peter Gatien from the tunnel above. The mobile phones of all the staff were also exploded by calls to confirm the news.
The security and intelligence team of the Westeros family just installed an area monitoring system a few days ago. Simply put, it monitors all wireless electronic communications in a demarcated area, including telephones, landlines, and even ancient telegraph signals. Capture and filter out sensitive and targeted information in a timely manner around the protection target, and respond in advance.
It seems like a sci-fi technology, but it is not.
In recent years, with the continuous upgrading of technology, the security teams around many heads of state are using similar systems.
As for larger-scale national-level surveillance, it started in the two world wars and reached its peak during the Cold War, and it did not disappear with the end of the Cold War, but continued to strengthen with the advancement of technology. The "Public Enemy", which is being filmed by Daenerys and Westinghouse Electric Entertainment, which has previously won Sony Pictures, is about the state-level surveillance system in the pre-information age. In the current information age, monitoring is increasingly inclined to mobile communications and the Internet.
Before Simon arrived in Manhattan, a surveillance team originally deployed in Manhattan had already arrived near the tunnel night scene in advance.
The sudden outburst of telecommunication information related to the big boss near the tunnel night scene made the monitoring team in a hurry. Fortunately, the team in the van here is only the receiving terminal, and a larger team and corresponding equipment are responsible for information processing. until no errors occurred.
However, considering that the report will be submitted tomorrow, the team leader immediately noted this phenomenon in the memo.
the other side.
Because of Simon's arrival, the inside of the tunnel night scene, which was no longer as lively as it was in the first half of the night due to time, boiled again.
Simon was not stingy, and directly filled out a check for 1 million US dollars to Peter Gatien, and booked the room for a treat. When the news was announced, it caused another scream.
Queen Mai pulled Simon into a round of dancing amidst the blaring music, and ran to the stage again, and took the initiative to "confess" to someone, and sang the "bad romance" that Simon wrote to her back then.
It's a pity that after singing, there is some extreme joy and sorrow.
Go back to the VIP stand on the second floor where Simon is, man
In a blink of an eye, there were a group of goblins around her, and one of them, a little bitch who was cooler than her vacuum sling, was already straddling the man's leg, writhing like a snake with a thin waist.
When he got close, there was no place to attack, so Queen Mai could only grab the little fairy by her hair and drag her aside.
The girl with thick smoky makeup but good enough body and fair enough skin to fit Simon's aesthetics was roughly dragged away by Madonna. She didn't resist, but looked at a certain man with a pitiful expression. Responding, he picked up a large t-shirt next to him and put it on his body, and tried to squeeze in the man's side without any trace, but was blocked by the girl on Simon's left, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and pushed the second girl away roughly. , Sit on it by yourself, still leaning towards Simon, looking for opportunities to talk to him at any time.
Madonna ignored the eyes of a group of goblins, stepped onto Simon's lap, put her arms around the man's neck and complained, "Simon, I'm singing to you on stage, but you're here to pick up girls, it's disgusting."
Simon held Madonna's waist to prevent Her Lady Queen from rubbing against his lap, and said with a smile, "No, the problem is that I'm too attractive, there's nothing I can do about it."
Of course, Madonna wouldn't bother with this, so she turned around after saying a word: "How do you feel here?"
"great."
"It was almost closing."
"No way, business is so good?"
Queen McQueen immediately gasped again: "It's all Giuliani's bitch, what kind of new life movement, in recent years, many famous venues in the Big Apple have been forcibly closed by him, and the tunnel has been investigated since 1996, dragging on for a whole year More than a year before it's over. Oh, how can there be such a jerk."
When Madonna mentioned it, combined with the memory of the previous life, Simon remembered it.
It did happen once, and this time, with the election of Rudy Giuliani as mayor of New York in 1993, it happened again.
Roughly speaking, after Giuliani tasted the sweetness of accumulating political capital by fighting crime in the prosecutor era, he succeeded in becoming the mayor of New York and continued. The Mafia family in New York was swept away in the 1980s. In 1996, Giuliani created a new life movement.
This time the spearhead is mainly directed at New York's thriving nightclub market.
Through tax inspections, anti-narcotics and other measures, countless large and small nightclubs were closed, many of which were famous and popular. After a successful re-election last year, things continued.
In my memory, I found that this fact can really accumulate political capital. Bloomberg came to power after Giuliani and continued to do the same. As for the nightclubs in New York, to be honest, few of them can stand the inspection. After the firefighting, taxation, and sanitation are messed up, even if a very small number of them pass all of them, they can't escape the drug test.
The results are closed down.
The current tunnel escaped the catastrophe of 1996, but in my memory, it was forcibly closed down a few years later.
As for the reason, to put it bluntly, the United States as a whole is actually a very conservative Puritan country, far less open than outsiders imagined, and things like night shows are very damaging to many conservative Americans. Therefore, Whoever hits will benefit.
But none of this has anything to do with Simon.
I just come out to play occasionally.
Madonna, who was leaning on Simon's lap, just said casually. Of course, she knew that the man in front of her was capable of intervening. However, Queen Mai was also very smart, and she encouraged the man to intervene because of her own minor dissatisfaction.
She was just out to play.
Even if the tunnel is really closed, just go to other night spots, it is impossible to close all of them.
After chatting for a few words, seeing a group of goblins around them ready to move, Queen Mai got up and pulled Simon up at the same time: "Come with me, Simon, there is a very interesting VIP box here, let's go and have a look."
Simon didn't refuse either, and got up.
There is no nostalgia for a group of eager goblins around him.
It doesn't matter if there are a bunch of them in Southampton's seaside manor, let alone here.
However, McQueen's plan fell through.
As soon as the two got up, a group of tall goblins rushed in from the corner of the stairs. They knew their occupations just by their height. During the recent fashion week, New York was full of supermodels. The first pair was Roberta Chilco and Annelise Thurbert, whom Simon had put together at random, and the others were familiar.
The female guard guarding the stairs also knew the identities of Roberta and the two, and signaled to her boss with her eyes, and let them come over.
It was another intimate greeting.
Just chatting a few words, someone came over again, this time the growth was even bigger.
The group led by Roberta is the old Ford gang. This time, Fernanda Lima, Eva Herzigova, Heidi Klum, Karen Mulder, etc., standard current fashion The most powerful elite group in the circle, but the oldest or top ones did not come to join in the fun for various reasons, and the Eastern Legion, which has quickly gained a place in the circle in recent years, such as Zhu Momo, is also in Manhattan now , probably did not integrate into this circle in private after all.
Anyway, it's still fun enough.
Simon and a group of big goblins exchanged greetings on the second-floor VIP stand, but the crowd in the hall below the stage feasted their eyes.
Even if you can only watch from a distance, a group of the most popular top models in the circle are enough to catch the eye, and, frankly speaking, in most cases, they really can't attract the patronage of this group of stunners. It can be regarded as borrowing the light of Simon Westeros to experience a visual feast outside the catwalk.
Others are envious
Mu envy and hate, only Queen Mai is the most depressed.
She is not afraid of aura, but compared with her height, the 162cm Queen Mai suddenly pales in comparison in front of a group of big goblins. She can't even wear high heels. After all, who can't wear high heels.
Then I went to the VIP box with unique tunnel style.
Singing, dancing, chatting and playing games, it wasn't until dawn that Simon summoned three stretched luxury cars and took a group of big goblins out of the tunnel, but just crossed Twelfth Avenue next to it and stopped at the Hudson River. Boarded two helicopters on the ground, and flew to the nearby mansion in Sandian City together, intending to go there to catch up on sleep.
No work in the morning.
Queen Mai didn't follow, and returned to her apartment in the Upper West Side nearby. She was really hurt by a group of big goblins and wanted to be alone.
