PFC Chapter 284: Shock 1
Chapter 284: Shock 1
When Gu Jiu heard that this was a new home computer, he said without hesitation: "Buy it!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Lin Shu had just asked the salesperson to issue a receipt and paid the money when he heard several gunshots in the mall.
At first she didn't realize it was a gunshot, she thought it was the sound of firecrackers exploding.
After hearing the woman's scream, the salesperson who was hiding behind the counter finally reacted. He quickly picked up the child and found a place to hide behind the counter under Gu Jiu's protection.
What followed was the sound of glass being smashed and broken.
Lin Shu squatted behind the counter and looked back at the second baby on Gu Jiu's body. He didn't know where Gu Jiu took out a bottle of milk from but stuffed it into the second baby's mouth. The little guy was drinking the milk happily at this time.
"When did you make the milk?"
Gu Jiu let Erbao hold the bottle by himself, took out another bottle from his bag, quickly opened the thermos, poured some warm water into it, mixed the warm water with the milk powder in the bottle, and stuffed it into Dabao's mouth. "I came out for shopping, and I was afraid that they would be hungry, so I prepared this when I was at the hotel."
Dabao is an adult soul, so Lin Shu is not afraid that he will cry out of fear. But when Gu Jiu stuffed the bottle in her hand, she did not stop him and cautiously stuck her head out to look out.
Wow, a group of burly black guys were carrying bags and shopping in the mall. Wherever they passed, they put all the goods into the bags, taking away whatever they could and not picking up anything that fell on the ground.
Seeing the few people leading them holding guns, the others held their heads and did not dare to stop them. No one tried to stop them either, as if this kind of thing was commonplace here.
The people in the mall went from being panicked at first to being silent now, and Lin Shu also shrank his head in silence.
There was another sound of glass breaking. It seemed that the counter was hit again.
"Bah"
There was another shot, followed by a scream and the sound of metal falling to the ground, the clearest sound coming from beneath her feet.
Lin Shu looked down and saw that Dabao's reaction was faster than hers. He bent down, picked up a gold bracelet from the ground, and put it into Lin Shu's hand.
"This is......"
"The robbers robbed the jewelry counter." Gu Jiu shrank back inside the counter and asked Lin Shu to hold Dabao and hide as far as possible.
Rather than doing heroic deeds in a foreign country, Gu Jiu cares more about the personal safety of his family.
The two of them spoke in a very low voice. Gu Jiu thought of something and immediately looked up at the goods in the counter where he was hiding. He saw that they were some accessories for electronic products. He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
This trip to New York was so thrilling on the first day, it really tested his heart's ability to withstand it.
Lin Shu put the gold bracelet on the counter beside him. It was better not to take such ill-gotten gains. After putting it down, he did not forget to look up at the ceiling above his head, fearing that there were cameras installed there.
Dabao seemed to know what he was thinking and whispered in her ear, "At this time, there won't be cameras installed everywhere."
Lin Shu also leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Son, we are here to buy stocks at the bottom. We don't need this little money. Try to avoid trouble as much as possible."
This wave of robberies happened suddenly and ended quickly.
It was over in less than five minutes.
After the robbers left, the tellers in the mall began to come out to maintain order. Gu Jiu's family of four walked out from behind the counter, went to the computer counter, told the salesperson to deliver the goods on time, and then left the mall with his wife and children.
"Are you still buying a watch?" Lin Shu said, and looked towards the watch counter.
The situation over there shocked her, but then she understood. It would be strange if someone didn't rob such a valuable item as a watch.
Due to what happened in the afternoon, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu realized deeply that their personal safety was threatened in a foreign country, so they did not think of going out at night.
We had Western food for dinner at the hotel we stayed in.
The restaurant plays soothing music and has an elegant environment, which makes it easy for people to relax physically and mentally.
The two ordered beef tenderloin. The two children watched them eat and were busy too, so they gave each of them a small piece of toast.
"This is passion fruit jelly. Do you want to give them some?" Gu Jiu asked as he picked up a dessert.
Lin Shu scooped a little to taste first, "Added cheese puree and dried fruits, don't let them eat the dried fruits, be careful not to choke."
The two little guys tasted some of the jelly and couldn't stop eating it. They clapped their hands in excitement. If you don't give them some, they will cry in anxiety.
Lin Shu noticed that some of the foreigners dining there were already looking in their direction, and couldn't help but chuckle, jokingly saying, "This western restaurant is suitable for dating. Did we come to the wrong place with a child?"
Gu Jiu looked up at the people at other tables around him and said, "Don't Caucasians have children? Since we are open for business, we let people come in to eat. There is nothing wrong with us paying for our meals. Why do you care about them?"
Gu Jiu took care of the children. It was his turn to eat after Lin Shu finished eating and took over the care of the children. Fortunately, the children were well fed by him and could stay quietly with just a toy.
Gu Jiu adjusted his tie, picked up his knife and fork and started eating.
Lin Shu smiled and asked, "Does the tie feel uncomfortable to wear?"
Gu Jiu took a bite of beef, looked at her with his drawn eyes, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "After all, I rarely wear this thing in China. Now I am a little uncomfortable here. I always feel that this tie is piercing my neck."
Lin Shu admired the man's handsome face and pursed her lips: "But Westerners buy into this. Look at the two women over there, they keep glancing at you. It's obvious that they are attracted to you."
Gu Jiu followed her gaze and saw the two women opposite him immediately stretched out their hands excitedly to greet them.
Gu Jiu smiled back and turned back to continue eating.
Another person came in at the restaurant entrance. Lin Shu took a casual glance and found that it was another familiar face. "Gu Jiu, let's not talk about whether you and Deng Jiaming have been doomed for generations. You often meet each other in the provincial capital. We are both on the other side of the ocean, met in the hotel, and chose the same restaurant for dinner."
Gu Jiu turned around and looked towards the door, and his eyes met Deng Jiaming's.
"Hi, Gu Jiu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet your family of four here."
Gu Jiu put down his knife and fork, leaned back in his chair, frowned slightly in dissatisfaction: "I suspect you are following me."
Deng Jiaming's smile froze. "Gu Jiu, can you please stop being so narcissistic? What is it about you that's worth me traveling across the ocean to meet you?"
A hint of sneer appeared on Gu Jiu's lips: "Then how do you explain staying in the same hotel with me and eating in the same restaurant?"
"I told you it was a coincidence, but you didn't believe it." Deng Jiaming pulled out a chair and sat at their table.
As if he was afraid that Gu Jiu would chase him away, he turned around and rubbed Dabao's little head, then smiled at Lin Shu: "The two children are very cute."
Don't hit a smiling person. Lin Shu didn't care what grudges Gu Jiu had with him. She smiled back: "Why are you eating alone tonight?"
"My uncle and his family went home, and I stayed in a hotel alone at night."
"Those two middle-aged men today are your uncles?"
"Yes, they have been here for many years and have settled down here long ago."
Lin Shu was very curious. Since he had relatives here, why did he stay in a hotel? "Why didn't you stay at their house? Staying in a hotel is never as comfortable as staying at home."
"Staying in a hotel is comfortable." Deng Jiaming seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore and turned to ask the waiter to take the order.
He whispered a few words to the waiter, and after the waiter left, he asked Lin Shu: "What are you doing here this time? Which project are you interested in?"
During the day, his cousin checked and found out that they came to New York as part of an exchange group, but Gu Jiu was not a regular staff member, so it was impossible for him to come here at public expense.
Since it can't be publicly funded, then he must be here at his own expense to do something important, otherwise who would be so idle as to spend a large sum of money to come here for fun.
Lin Shu: "We are just here for tourism."
Deng Jiaming didn't believe it.
Gu Jiu finished his meal, wiped his mouth with a napkin, wiped his hands, and said calmly: "Before you ask us, shouldn't you tell us why you came here?"
Deng Jiaming: "...I am also here to travel...to visit relatives."
"嘁~"
Gu Jiu sneered.
He can't even be honest with himself, yet he has the nerve to ask about their affairs.
