Chapter 657: Reasonable Means

"Definitely not. This time the other party openly broke into a private residence. According to the Castle Law, there is no problem even if you beat them to death on the spot." Connor said with a smile.

"Then let's do this today. I have other things to do." Eric nodded and left the police station with his daughter and son.

Although Johnny, who was responsible for leading the team, was still in a coma, whether he could survive was an unknown.

However, in Eric's heart, he already had a suspect.

He called a subordinate and whispered in his ear: "Go and check Hancock's recent situation and see if he has been in contact with the Vester Group."

"Dad, do you know who did it?" Luo Quan looked at her father. She only knew that this matter was related to the Vester Group and was caused by the business war with the Albert Group.

However, her father just mentioned the name Hancock, and she also had some impression of this name.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with it, it will be clear after checking." Eric shook his head gently, took a deep breath and exhaled again.

When he rushed home just now, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, fearing that his wife and children would have something wrong.

Fortunately, his daughter happened to be home today, and she beat all thirty big men down by herself.

He has traveled all over the world for decades and has seen many strange people, but he has never seen anyone with such combat power as his daughter.

"By the way, daughter, where did you learn this fighting skill? How is it so powerful?" Eric asked his daughter this question after getting in the car.

"Self-taught. Just watching videos and listening to various fighting classes, and then I learned it after practicing." Luo Quan raised her hand and clenched her fist. "Plus I have great strength in the sky, and it became even greater after practicing martial arts, so my combat power is stronger than ordinary people."

"More than just a little bit stronger." Gao Liang laughed. "Those big men are all tall and big. I feel it's not easy to deal with them with two guns in my hand... Is this Chinese Kung Fu? I heard others say that China has many close-combat masters like you, such as Tai Chi, Five-Link Whip..."

"Those are all nonsense." Luo Quan was speechless. "Although there may indeed be some masters, at least I haven't met any of them yet. As for those who appear on the Internet, nine out of ten are liars."

"No matter what, it is a good thing to have such skills." Eric looked at his daughter with relief, and then said: "But you have to live in an independent manor in the future, and security must be increased."

"There are many idle manors near Mia's house, and you can move there." Gao Liang suddenly remembered this and immediately suggested.

"That's a good suggestion, you are responsible for asking about it." Eric patted his son on the shoulder and gave him the task.

The two families are very supportive of the relationship between his son and Mia, almost quasi-in-laws, and it's not bad to move there and be neighbors.

After returning home, the living room has been cleaned up.

Thirty-something bodyguards in black suits stood with their hands behind their backs and patrolled outside the house, their eyes watching every creature passing by.

Luo Ni has taken Luo Xi upstairs for a nap. The little baby is quite obedient and was not scared by this incident, and was very quiet throughout.

After returning to the second floor, Luo Quan went to see Wen Xia and others. These big-hearted girls didn't have any emotions like lingering fear, and were even quite excited.

"Boss, is life in the United States so exciting? Have you encountered such things often before?" Ai Wei asked, holding Luo Quan's hand after seeing her come in.

She had studied in Europe for a while before, and usually stayed at school and rarely went out. Although Europe is not a peaceful place, compared with the United States, it is simply simple folk customs.

Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, that's because New York's public security is considered good, and this area is a rich area. If you change to Chicago or Miami, it would have been gunshots long ago. Do you think it's a joke that everyone holds guns?"

"But you are also too fierce, 1v30 and won!" Wen Xia's voice suddenly raised a tone. "When those people were carried away by doctors, they were miserable, especially the one who was hit on the wall... tsk tsk tsk, I guess let his mother come over, I guess she wouldn't recognize that this is her son."

"So I am so fierce, do you still dare to bully me in the future?" Luo Quan raised her fist to Wen Xia, taking this opportunity to carry out a military threat.

"I don't dare anymore." Wen Xia shook her head hurriedly.

"It's fine if you don't dare." Luo Quan's mouth curled up. "This incident today is almost solved, and none of the culprits can escape. Everyone should rest at ease."

"We will move tomorrow, so don't rush to hang clothes in the cabinet first, so as not to have to clean up tomorrow."

After explaining, Luo Quan returned to her room.

Seeing the lit computer, she remembered that she was still live broadcasting when she left.

After leaving for an hour, the popularity of the live broadcast room did not decrease but increased, but everyone didn't worry because of Luo Quan, but were discussing what to eat for lunch today.

"I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time. Let's order this for lunch today."

"Preserved vegetable pork is more rice-friendly, braised pork is too greasy."

"Do these two dishes still need to compare who is more greasy? Are you kidding me?"

"By the way, why are you all so calm, not worried about Luo Quan at all?"

"What's there to worry about? Our Luo Bao is invincible in the world, only she has the share of killing the enemy."

"Indeed, what really needs to be worried about is those who make

"Those who defy Miss Luo Quan are in trouble!"

"Luo Sect!"

………………

These bullet comments are just ridiculously absurd; Luo Quan was speechless after taking two glances at them.

She reached out to straighten the crooked camera and aimed it at herself: "My goodness, you guys started making up stories about me after I was gone for just a little while, didn't you?"

"Congratulations on General Luo's triumphant return."

"What on earth happened?"

"You were gone for so long, it seems the opponents were not easy to deal with."

"This time, won't it be like before, where you have to go to the police station and then face a triple interrogation?"

………………

Seeing the fans' worries in the bullet comments, Luo Quan gave a summarized explanation: "My grandfather's company had some commercial disputes, so a group of people came to our house to cause trouble, but I sent them packing soon after I went down."

"I was gone for so long mainly because I had to give a statement afterward, but since it happened at home and counts as self-defense, there's no trouble."

"As long as you're safe, that's all that matters."

After hearing Luo Quan's reply, the fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they said they weren't worried, they certainly had some concerns after she suddenly left for such a long time.

However, they didn't know that the real situation this time was much more intense and spectacular than Luo Quan's understated words.

And the exposure of this incident didn't take too long, after all, a reporter from the New York Daily was on the scene at the time.

Soon, Twitter exploded, and the trending searches were all "Luo Quan," "Albert," and "Vester."

The New York Daily issued a report directly on major platforms:

"Today, employees of the Onalson Group who were laid off gathered at the home of the company's new president, Eric Albert, to protest."

"During this, because they lost control of their emotions, some employees broke Eric's front door and broke into the house."

"However, Eric himself was not inside; his daughter, the well-known international star Luo Quan, greeted them."

"Luo Quan initially advised them to stay calm, but the protesters, who had already lost control of their emotions, did not listen; some began to loot, and others attacked Luo Quan, leading to a fierce battle between the two sides. The following is the situation recorded by the reporter on the scene..."

The article has a video here, which can be played by clicking on it.

The news said it was a battle, but in reality, it was Luo Quan's one-sided rampage; she, alone with two hands, beat thirty strong, sturdy men until they were flying everywhere.

This scene is something even the most exaggerated Hollywood action movies wouldn't dare to film; it can only be seen in science fiction movies.

Because it was truly too abstract and absurd, if they hadn't seen that the New York police also issued a similar news announcement, a group of netizens would have thought this was a promotion for Luo Quan's new movie, a new hype method she had come up with.

It wasn't until multiple official media outlets characterized this incident as a heinous criminal event that public opinion finally surged into a frenzy.

First, a large number of fans or passersby directly offered their knees to Luo Quan by recording videos; they knelt on the ground and performed the five-body-prostration ritual to Luo Quan.

Of course, kneeling abroad doesn't have as many rules as it does domestically; the foreign netizens doing this this time were simply expressing their inner admiration for Luo Quan.

On Twitter, countless netizens commented:

"My God, I always thought Luo Quan was an angel reincarnated, until now I realized she is actually a Valkyrie reincarnated!"

"Valkyries aren't necessarily pretty, let's just go with Athena; from now on, Luo Quan is my guardian goddess."

"How can this girl be so fierce? My combat coach told me that such a scene could only happen in a matchup between a 200-kilogram super-heavyweight and a 40-plus-kilogram flyweight."

"Flyweight? That's ridiculous, maggot-weight is more like it."

"You guys are killing me with laughter, but Luo Quan is fiercer than I imagined. I'm starting to worry about who I should turn to for justice if I encounter domestic violence from her in the future."

"Keep dreaming your daydreams!"

"If Luo Quan were really my wife, I wouldn't mind being domestically abused every day."

"I'm afraid your body wouldn't be able to take it."

"It's fine, just take more medicine."

………………

Sure enough, Taobao users are not divided by nationality; there are just as many fans abroad who covet Luo Quan's body.

They don't care much about how this matter is handled; they are more concerned about the super-strong martial arts Luo Quan displayed this time.

And the onlookers are more rational; while exclaiming that this was magical Chinese Kung Fu, they also began to analyze the cause of the incident.

Protests are a traditional skill in America, but most protests have a bottom line, and according to the footage, the employees didn't encounter any factors that would make them emotional during the protest at all.

So what was it that made them rush into the house?

It was clearly driven by the organizers, especially the big man who smashed the door, and the dozens of tall, strong men who rushed into the house afterward.

And soon someone revealed that the so-called protest was just a superficial factor, and the real reason was very likely a business war.

The business war between the Albert Group and the Vester Group was immediately exposed by some insiders.

And the head of the Vester Group, Fremini Vester, is said to be facing an investigation; if it is confirmed, it won't be as simple as losing money this time, but will involve jail time.

If it were just dealing with ordinary people, it wouldn't matter even if it were exposed; in a capitalist country, many things are easy to handle if you have money.

But the target this time was an important member of the Albert family; they have power and influence, and they are not short of money. As long as they have the evidence, it's impossible to be protected even if they find the best legal team in the world.

And the key to the problem lies in Johnny, the protest organizer who was beaten by Luo Quan and received three critical condition notices from the hospital in a row.

He is currently being resuscitated in the best hospital in New York, but whether he can survive is still an unknown.

Eric has already sent people to protect the ward; this is to protect the witness to prevent any silencing.

On the other side, Eric also found Hancock.

Originally, there was no plan to take direct action, but Hancock probably saw that the matter had failed and would be known sooner or later, so he simply spilled the beans himself.

This time, it was indeed his planning, and then Fremini cooperated in the implementation.

After the last attempt to frame Luo Quan failed, Hancock faced multiple charges of perjury, but they were all taken on by one of his relatives.

Although his own business suffered a huge blow, it was big enough to survive, and he still had some left in the end.

If managed well, he could still live very comfortably.

However, just a week ago, his son, who was almost a vegetable, suffered respiratory failure, and the hospital immediately issued a critical condition notice.

Although he was finally resuscitated, he was told that the chance of his son waking up was very slim.

And this became the last straw that broke Hancock.

It just so happened that he heard about the layoffs at Eric's company, so he immediately found Fremini and told him he had a way to alleviate his company's predicament.

Hancock's rhetoric to Fremini was to use protests to plunge Eric's company into media criticism and then guide it toward the Albert Group.

Defeat him using media methods, just like he dealt with Luo Quan before.

And Fremini needed to mobilize manpower and funds to help him deal with the security guards in the wealthy residential area and the streets outside, creating an opportunity for him to succeed.

And Hancock's own plan was to have his thirty subordinates kidnap Eric's family for revenge.

This was clearly someone who had lost hope for his son's awakening and had fallen into madness.

After confessing everything, Hancock even took advantage of everyone's inattention to pull out a pistol, intending to make a desperate struggle.

Even at this moment, Hancock was still thinking about revenge and counter-killing; he was truly a ruthless person.

However, Eric was always vigilant; although Hancock moved first, Eric's speed in drawing his gun was faster.

Just as Hancock's hand pulled the gun out of the drawer, Eric pulled the trigger.

This shot hit Hancock's palm directly, knocking the gun to the ground.
