North American riot police: Start by arresting P. Diddy!

Chapter 162 The Godfather Harlem Who's Seeking Death (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the chaotic Liberty Island, Ginny is hurrying towards the Statue of Liberty area on the edge of the island.

She voluntarily applied to be transferred to this small island from the Upper East Side two days ago.

Although it is part of New York City, this man-made island, covering only fourteen acres, is almost completely isolated from the outside world.

Aside from the world-famous Statue of Liberty, there's almost nothing on the island. The only people you see daily are tourists, Hollywood film crews shooting scenes, or politicians putting on a show.

Forget about gangsters or drug dealers, Ginny has been encountering pickpockets and thieves the most these past few days.

Although the work was a bit boring, it was her own choice.

She simply couldn't stand the environment in Manhattan and Brooklyn, which was rife with gangs and corrupt police, and her father, Jack, was very supportive of her decision.

After all—it's just guarding the Statue of Liberty, what great danger could it possibly encounter?
结果
While evacuating the panicked tourists, Ginny quickly headed towards the base of the statue.

Not far away, the statue that symbolized the American spirit was completely destroyed; all the metal on its surface had disappeared, and the torch representing freedom had crashed heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, it wasn't a holiday today, so there weren't many tourists; otherwise, this sudden collapse would have certainly caused serious casualties.

What shocked her even more was that the cars parked around her and the metal fences seemed to be corroded by some kind of strange magic, turning into dust at a visible speed and dissipating into the air like yellow sand.

"What the hell is this?"

Ginny was completely baffled, but a secret excitement was rising within her.

Judging from the situation, it is very likely a terrorist attack, and the target is the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the American spirit!

I never expected to encounter such a major case so soon after my transfer!
Perhaps because there were no casualties, Ginny unconsciously showed an excited smile on her face, and her pace quickened involuntarily.

She needed to investigate the scene immediately, then collect evidence, and then...
Just as Ginny was fantasizing about how to solve the case and catch the mastermind, the mastermind came knocking on her door.

As she passed a typical blue portable toilet, a large hand suddenly reached out from inside, covered her mouth before she could react, and pulled her inside.

"Hmm."

Ginny was startled and quickly drew her sidearm from her waist, pressing it directly against the man's neck!
"Your speed in drawing your gun is quite good. It seems you've practiced a lot while I was away."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ginny, who had been panicking, widened her eyes in disbelief and looked up at Rorschach, who was grinning mischievously at her.

"Surprise!!!"

Rorschach released her hand, opened his arms, and gave her his signature roguish grin.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Ginny came to her senses and slapped him across the face!

"Snapped--!"

"Watfa"

Luo Xia, clutching his burning chin, stared at her incredulously.

How dare this girl hit me?
"You damn bastard!"

Ginny was furious and raised her hand again, but this time Rorschach was quick and grabbed her wrist.

“If you hit me again, I’ll get angry!” Luo Xia warned her, raising an eyebrow.

"How dare you get angry at me?!"

Upon hearing this, Ginny's anger flared even more. She pounded his chest with both fists in frustration, growling through gritted teeth as she punched him: "You've been in New York for so long and didn't tell me! What do you take me for?! A stranger you can just brush off with a few words?!"

Rorschach, who had originally intended to make up an excuse, felt a pang of tenderness when he saw Ginny's reddened eyes. He sighed and patiently explained, "I'm wanted throughout the United States right now, and you're a police officer. Meeting you would only implicate you, and I don't want you to get involved."

To increase credibility, he deliberately exaggerated, saying, "I've been hiding since I arrived in New York, rarely going out, relying entirely on takeout for meals, and I don't even dare to open the windows. I've risked coming here today just to see you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Ginny immediately raised her head, glaring at him sharply. "The photos of you having sex with that European princess on the streets of Manhattan have spread to every police station. Is this how you keep a low profile?!"

"Watfak? Field combat?!"

Rorschach's brain immediately started working at lightning speed.

He remembered that he and Mia had only kissed at the back door of the hotel.

Of course, the two of them also explored each other's bodies and lingered for more than half an hour, but they definitely didn't go to the point of "going in"!
Where did this talk of field combat come from?
Ginny seemed to have been waiting for the chance to confront Rorschach directly, and she actually pulled out the photo from her pocket of him carrying Mia as they rappelled down from the apartment balcony.

In the photo, Rorschach is shirtless, gripping the balcony railing with both arms, while Mia opposite him is wrapped around his neck like an octopus, with her legs tightly wrapped around his waist, her whole face buried in his bare chest – a scene straight out of a Hollywood action movie.

"this."

Rorschach was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't very well tell Ginny about his secret operation with Harold to save innocent citizens in New York using the backdoor of the machine.

This girl's dad is Jack. If he accidentally lets it slip, his and Harold's biggest trump card will be exposed.

“Say it!” Ginny puffed out her cheeks, squinting at him aggressively. “Now you have no excuse? You womanizing bastard!”

As she spoke, Ginny's voice began to tremble with tears.

She glanced at Luo Xia, then turned to push the door open and leave.

Even when Rorschach was framed and imprisoned in Chicago, she waited patiently. Even after learning of his escape, she never gave up hope.

But to her heartbreak, this guy not only kept it a secret from her after coming to New York, but also found a princess as his girlfriend!

She pushed the door open forcefully, ready to rush out.

But then, Rorschach slammed the door shut again with even greater speed.

He looked at Ginny, who had turned her face away and refused to look at him, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

This girl's personality has changed a lot since she came to New York. She would never have dared to be mean to him back in Chicago, let alone hit him.

Hmm. It's also possible that their true nature was revealed after they became closer.

"Ginny, you've really misunderstood me!"

Despite the pain, Luo Xia forcefully straightened the girl's body, which was lying on her side, and explained earnestly, "The reason I went to that apartment is because I ran into Maria on the street one day. Do you remember her? The girl who killed her own father."

Seeing that Ginny remained silent, he coughed lightly and continued, "That girl is a dangerous individual. I wanted to follow her and see if she had done anything illegal again. But by sheer coincidence, I ran into a group of terrorists capturing that princess from a small country. You know my nature of hating evil, so I had no choice but to help her escape."

"hehe."

Ginny scoffed, "You'd be better off fooling a little girl like Maria with that kind of nonsense! That princess in the photo looks like she's practically melded into your body!"

“Honey, believe me.” Luo Xia put his arm around Ginny’s waist and said seriously, “I swear, she and I aren’t in the kind of relationship you’re thinking.” Looking into Luo Xia’s sincere and determined eyes, Ginny took a few deep breaths and punched him hard in the chest: “If you dare lie to me, I’ll have my dad come and arrest you!”

After saying that, she stopped pretending to be angry, opened her arms and hugged Luo Xia tightly, burying her face in his chest.

Since arriving in New York, she has felt depressed in both her work and life. This loneliness and helplessness makes her miss Rorschach, whom she could rely on in Chicago, even more.

After a brief embrace, Ginny nuzzled against Rorschach's chest, just like she always did, making soft, kitten-like whimpering sounds.

Despite the pain from her newly set bones, Luo Xia smiled and gently stroked her hair, listening to her ramble on about her troubles over the past few days.

When Rorschach heard about the rampant corruption among New York police and how Ginny had been publicly humiliated by gangsters, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Harlem Godfather? The second-in-command who split off from Puff Daddy's gang after he died?"

“Yes, more than half of the police officers in the department take bribes from them. And it’s said,” Ginny recalled what Frosco had told her, and chuckled, “that they even have connections in the city government, so even if you expose corrupt cops, it will be suppressed immediately.”

Luo Xia nodded slightly.

With so many corrupt police officers, even if Harlem had no connections within the government, the higher-ups wouldn't dare expose this matter—the reason is simple: no one dares to take responsibility for something that affects the government's credibility.

However, exposing the issue or taking legal action is what civilized people do, and Luo Xia doesn't consider himself a civilized person.

"Don't worry, once I've fully recovered from my injuries in a couple of days, I'll go and have a good 'chat' with this Harlem godfather. And that black guy named James too."

Rorschach stroked Ginny's hair, gave a cold laugh, and didn't continue speaking.

At this moment, Ginny couldn't help but grin and chuckle as she listened to her boyfriend, whom she had chosen, looking like he was going to stand up for her.

Ultimately, perhaps influenced by her family environment, although she has always longed for independence, under Jack's influence, this girl is still used to having someone to rely on.

At least when something happens, she always knows that someone can support her.

However, now that I'm getting older, it's really not right to ask my dad to solve every problem I encounter.

But it's okay, I have a more reliable boyfriend now.

Thinking of this, Ginny smiled even more brightly, showing no trace of her previous anger.

"Oh, right." She suddenly looked up at Luo Xia's cast and bandages and asked anxiously, "I just noticed, what happened to you? Are you injured again?"

"It's nothing, just a car accident, I was hit by a truck."

Rorschach waved his hand dismissively.

Looking at Ginny's concerned eyes, with lingering tears on her long eyelashes, her sweet dimples and full lips, Rorschach couldn't help but lift her chin, as if to kiss her.

Ginny felt his hot breath and involuntarily closed her eyes.

But just as their lips were about to touch, she suddenly woke up and pushed Luo Xia away!

"no!"

Ginny, fighting back her racing heart, said angrily, "How could our first kiss have to be in a place like this! It's all your fault, why did you have to choose the toilet of all places!"

Luo Xia glanced around at the surroundings and shrugged noncommittally; the environment was indeed less than ideal.

“I still have five hours before I get off work.” Ginny flashed her little tiger teeth and suggested mischievously, “Or I could ask for leave in advance. I’ll give you my home address, you can go up first, take a shower, and wait for me at home, okay?”

After hearing this, Luo Xia awkwardly tugged at his tight crotch and coughed lightly: "It's possible, but you have to figure out a way to get me off the island first. I just made a bit of a commotion."

Ginny blinked in confusion, then her eyes widened as if she suddenly understood:

"You again."

----------

It's getting dark.

As evening fell, Rorschach and Ginny still hadn't managed to return to the apartment for a passionate reunion after so long apart.

It wasn't because he couldn't get away from Liberty Island. In fact, even without Ginny, Rorschach could have blended in with the crowd and sneaked out.

The reason was that Ginny had an uninvited guest at her Manhattan apartment—a guy who could come and go as he pleased.

"Ginny~"

Jack carried a cup of freshly brewed hot cocoa from the kitchen to the bedroom and gently knocked on the door. "I prepared a hot drink for you. It's your favorite Swiss flavor from when you were a child. I specially asked someone to buy it from Geneva."

The faint sound of a phone call could be heard coming from the bedroom, but Jack made no attempt to eavesdrop.

Although he has always paid close attention to his beloved daughter's friendships, he has always respected her privacy.

After waiting for a while without a response, he knocked on the door again.

Ginny finally opened the door with a sigh: "I don't want to drink it now, just put it on the table, Dad."

“But it won’t taste good when it’s cold,” Jack advised with concern. “You’ve been in a bad mood lately, drinking something sweet can cheer you up.”

“Dad,” Ginny sighed, rubbing her forehead. “Have you forgotten that I’m already in my twenties? I’m way past the age of loving sweets.”

"Ok."

Jack shrugged, looking at Ginny with affection and smiling, "But I'll always remember how you wished for a chocolate house at Christmas."

Upon hearing this, Ginny couldn't help but laugh and said in a conciliatory tone, "I'll come and drink it in a bit, is that alright?"

After saying that, she quickly closed the door and continued to talk quietly on the other end of the phone.

Jack smiled and shook his head.

Since separating from his wife, Ginny has become his only concern in the world. Therefore, no matter how busy he is with work, he will always make time to come and see his daughter.

In the room, Ginny was complaining to Rorschach on the phone that her father had come at the worst possible time. He had been missing in New York for the past few days, and now he had to come and bother her at this crucial moment.

Not long after, Jack's voice came from outside again.

The Statue of Liberty attack today has garnered global attention, and he took some time to visit Ginny. Now he's about to head out again to search for Rorschach's location.

After hanging up the phone, Ginny looked through the photos of Harlem gang leaders she had taken on her phone, put on her coat, and prepared to go to the print shop to print them all out.

Ten minutes later.

Outside a print shop.

A black thug stared at Ginny, who was intently selecting photos in the store, and pulled out his phone to call his boss.
