Chapter 53 Accident
The two stop and go, New York as a whole is very inclusive, diverse and inclusive, especially here at New York University, the location is very good, there is a literary and lively atmosphere.

When they passed Washington Park, they saw many musical instrument performances. Long Xiaoman said it was freestyle, and there were also some weird performance arts. It opened Gatsby's eyes. Not counting this life, he had never been abroad. Country bumpkin.

The two were tired from shopping, so they went to the side to eat some delicious food. There are too many choices here, including Chinese, Japanese, Thai, French, and Mexican.

Long Xiaoman also took Gatsby to watch an opera. The Broadway Opera House was nearby. Although Gatsby didn't understand much, the atmosphere felt good.

"That's great, I'm very happy today, thank you, Xiaoman!" Gatsby thanked Long Xiaoman very sincerely, this was the first time since he was reborn that he had a good time visiting New York.

The night had already darkened, and the nightlife in the city that never sleeps in Manhattan had officially begun. The flow of people was a little more than during the day, and the two walked side by side under the night, talking to each other in low voices.

"Boom!" There was a sudden gunshot not far away.

The frightened crowd suddenly started to commotion. Gatsby quickly put his arms around Long Xiaoman's shoulders and held her in his arms to protect her so as not to be knocked down by the fleeing crowd. He used his height to observe the place where the gunshots occurred.

The place where the gunshot happened was a gold store. Following two more gunshots, a black man with a gun opened the door and ran out. The nearby police cars had already rushed over, blocking the street one after the other. .

The black man ran past Gatsby, saw that the road was blocked, turned back, and pointed a gun at Gatsby: "Let go of the girl in your arms!"

Long Xiaoman was startled and wanted to get out of Gatsby's arms, but Gatsby protected him behind him. The black man said angrily: "Do you want to die? Give her to me!"

Gatsby shook his head slowly, the black man was furious, and wanted to come up and forcefully pull Long Xiaoman as a hostage.

The nearby police officers arrived quickly, but they did not dare to act rashly when they saw a hostage next to the armed suspect.

The black man held a gun in his right hand, and his left hand stretched out to grab Long Xiaoman. Gatsby pretended to protect Long Xiaoman, and quietly approached the black man's right hand. Hold the ball holder of the black man and hold the black man's arm tightly with his hand.

Gatsby is thin and thin in the NBA, but not in real life. Although the black man is tall, he can't move when Gatsby clamps his arm. Gatsby is afraid that the black man will break free, so he exerts all his strength. He only hears With a click, the black man's arm was dislocated!

When the police saw that Gatsby was controlling the black man, they rushed over and held down the suspect. When Gatsby got away, he was hugged tightly by Long Xiaoman.

"Gatsby, I was scared to death. Why didn't you run away just now? What if he shoots you? Are you stupid? He is a desperado who dares to shoot in the store!" Long Xiao Manlihua cried in the rain, scolding Gatsby for scaring her enough just now.

Gatsby patted Long Xiaoman's back and comforted him: "It will be very dangerous if you are taken as a hostage, as long as you are fine."

A middle-aged policeman came over and asked, "Is this Mr. Gatsby?"

Gatsby nodded, and the policeman was pleasantly surprised: "It really is Gatsby, I am James, a Knicks fan, Mr. Gatsby is not injured, right?"

Gatsby shook his head: "No, thank you, but luckily you came in time, otherwise it would be dangerous."

James laughed and said, "Mr. Gatsby has learned Chinese Kungfu, so he is so agile that he took off the suspect's arm in one fell swoop." He made a few gestures and let out a strange cry, making Long Xiao Man was amused.

Gatsby laughed loudly: "No, I'm an athlete after all, it's normal to move faster, can we go now?"

James smiled and said: "I was going to the police station to record the statement, but Mr. Gatsby's words are unnecessary. I will call you some time to ask about the situation."

Gatsby saw more and more people coming around, and nodded: "Thank you James, then let's go first."

Gatsby took Long Xiaoman out of the crowd, sent Long Xiaoman back to the apartment, and then went home by himself. He didn't know that there was already a video about the Manhattan shooting incident circulating on the Internet.

The video circulating is very clear, it was shot with professional equipment, there is an open-air cafe next to the street, and a photographer happened to be shooting on the street, and when he heard the gunshots, he immediately turned the camera around, just in time to capture this scene.

In the video, Gatsby not only refuses to hand over his female partner to black men, but also puffs up his chest to protect her. This behavior moved many girls very much. This is a real man!

"When you marry, marry Gatsby!"

"A real man Gatsby!"

"The girl in the video is really happy, I really hope it's me!"

……

The boys paid attention to Gatsby's action of subduing the black man, and they all praised him: "The action is too neat, this is Chinese Kung Fu! Sure enough, every Chinese has Chinese Kung Fu, it's amazing!"

"It's amazing. Gatsby is so brave and resourceful. He doesn't change his face when faced with guns. He also seizes the opportunity to subdue the robbers. He really has a big heart!"

The news followed up the next day, and the news that Gatsby subdued the gunman spread throughout North America, once again creating a wave of enthusiasm.

Even during the game between the Knicks and the Utah Jazz, the reporters on the sidelines caught Gatsby to interview this matter before the game even started.

"Mr. Gatsby, I heard that when you were shopping in Manhattan two days ago, you were threatened by robbers at gunpoint?" Christine Laidlow asked.

Gatsby looked at Kristen Ledlow, the most beautiful reporter in the NBA. Ledlow is one of the hosts of the American basketball program "Slam Dunk". The other host who partners with her is the former "Jordan" Successor” Grant Hill.

Ledlow is not only well-known among fans, but also very popular among stars. She is friends with superstars such as Kobe and James. She also interviews these stars. This Gatsby incident is both interesting. It was hot again, and Laidlow rushed to Utah to interview Gatsby.

The first time I saw Gatsby's real Laidlow, I was really amazed. She is a host and has a lot of knowledge. I have never seen a handsome guy or a beautiful woman, but it is the first time I have seen someone who is as handsome as Gatsby.

"Yes, there is such a thing. My luck is not very good. I just ran into it. Fortunately, nothing happened." Gatsby smiled.

Gatsby's smile was very warm, and little stars appeared in Christine Laidlaw's eyes: "Wow, Mr. Gatsby is so brave. Is that female companion Mr. Gatsby's girlfriend?"

Gatsby smiled: "No, that's just my friend."

Very good!
Kristen Laidlow secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
