Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 878 American Side Story 4: Storm! Chaos erupts within America! Guan Zu: Such an exhilarating battle is truly a joy in this world.
quickly,

Happiness Property in New York and Umbrella Property in California, having received instructions from the Presidential Office, were 'forced' to begin mobilizing to investigate the church.

In fact, the Umbrella Corporation in California has accumulated even more cases involving churches.

Once the investigation was launched, information on various church-related sexual assault cases began to be rapidly compiled.

……

The news, of course, could not be kept from the church and the Republican Party.

……

In a private club meeting room in New York,

The heavy mahogany door was tightly closed, isolating it from all outside noise.

The room was packed with people, including Bernard Law, president of the American Diocese, and cardinals from the three core dioceses of Washington, Los Angeles, and Chicago…

Besides church members, there were also Republicans, such as House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert and Senate Whip Trent Lott…

A group of people were cursing.
"This is clearly aimed at us! What right do these private companies have to investigate the church?"

"It was those Democrats who did this!"

“We just found out that both Happiness Property and Umbrella Property received ‘instructions’ from the White House last week. This is clearly at the behest of Croton and the Democrats! They just want to use our case to their advantage!”

"Curton? He's still dealing with his impeachment trial in the Senate, and he still has the mind to resort to such underhanded tactics?"

"It's precisely because he's in such a mess that he's trying to drag us down with him!"

"He's trying to drag us down with him and divert public attention from his impeachment!"

There was a lot of cursing and swearing in the meeting room.

In the end, no solution was found.

They were just criticizing President Croton for lacking martial ethics.

"And those two property management companies, Happiness Property Management... they're always going against us Republicans, fuck!"

"Can't you Republicans investigate them?"

"Investigate? Of course we've investigated, but the problem is these people are too clean; we can't find any evidence against them."

"Can't I just frame someone?"

"If you're framing them, do you think the Democratic Party is just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Can't I just take a stake?"

"No, the Democrats won't allow it."

"........."

The church members were silenced by the Republican Party.

You Republicans are so useless!

In fact, the church has always paid attention to Umbrella Property and Happiness Property. In their view, this place is definitely a good place to develop believers.

This time, however, the property management company, which acted as a protective shield, hit them on the head with a brick.

……

……

Guan Zu's side.

He dragged Ruan Mei, along with Xu Xi, Abu, and a group of others, to a nearby coffee shop to experience American life.

Actually, American life is more about bars, like Rudy's, but since there are women around, they go to coffee shops instead.

Push the door open and go in.

Wow, there are so many people...

Guan Zu glanced at it and was satisfied: "I like a lively atmosphere~~"

Then he was stunned for a moment.

He saw an orange sofa, and then he saw a group of familiar people.

Guan Zu emmm~~~~
Wow, what a coincidence!

Friends.

In college English classes, teachers always liked to play "Friends" for them. It was just playing the show without any explanation of vocabulary or grammar. As for the effect on learning English... it was less than satisfactory.

Guan Zu pulled Ruan Mei to a nearby seat, where they sat down and ordered coffee. Abu and the others also found a place to sit.

Monica: "I'm going out to dinner with my colleagues tomorrow?"

Everyone: "Huh? A man?"

Monica shrugged: "He's just my colleague."

Joey: "You're actually going on a date with this guy? Is there something wrong with him?!"

Monica: "…………"

Chandler: "Hold on, Joey, be friendly. So he's a hunchback? Or a hunchbacked man wearing a wig?"

Phoebe: "Wait, does he eat chalk?"

Monica: "…………"

Damn it, what a bunch of pig friends!

"Relax, everyone. This isn't even a date. It's just two people going out for dinner together, and no sex."

Chandler: "It sounds like you're dating me."

Soon, the coffee shop waiter brought coffee to Guan Zu and Ruan Mei's table.

At this moment,
A woman in a wedding dress ran in.

"Monica, Monica~~~"

It's Rachel.

Looking at him, Guan Zu thought, "No wonder she's America's sweetheart, she's really good-looking. At 25, she's at the peak of her beauty."

Rachel was running away from her wedding at this time.

"Oh my god, Monica, this is great! I just went to your house but you weren't there. A guy with a big sledgehammer said you might be here, and you really are here!"

The two hugged.

Monica: "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Rachel: "Caffeine-free."

Waiter: "…………"

Is there any coffee without caffeine?

Monica: "Everyone, this is Rachel, another survivor from Lincoln High School. And here you are, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey, and my brother Ross..."

Guan Zu remembers this scene; it was the first episode of the first season, when Rachel ran away from her wedding and came to New York to join Friends.

As for why he ran away from the wedding?

When Rachel got married, she suddenly realized that the excitement her new husband brought her was not even as great as a can of sauce. Then she began to doubt the marriage and ran away from it.

……

……

the other side,
Hammondon, headquarters of Happiness Property Management.

Rudy got up early in the morning to go to work here, and then he ran into Jordan, the God of Rice Carrying, who was carrying a stack of documents.

"Hi, Mr. Jordan."

"Good morning, Rudy."

"Mr. Jordan, have you been very busy lately?"

"I'm quite busy..."

Jordan knew Rudy was someone the higher-ups valued, so he whispered to Rudy, "We've been collecting information on some cases of sexual assault within the church recently, and the legal department may need to follow up..."

Rudy was shocked: "What? The church is abducting?" Jordan casually pulled out a document from the stack of documents he was holding and handed it to Rudy.

"You should take a look; I guarantee it will broaden your horizons."

Rudy took it and opened it.

This is a self-reported whistleblower statement.

“I was born into a family with eight children. When I was seven, my eldest brother was killed in the Vietnam War. My father was traumatized and completely neglected his family and children. My mother, a devout Christian, sent me to the local church to assist the priest in carrying out sacramental activities so that I could receive more care.”

“In 1974, Father Clintonhagenbach was transferred to the church where I was assigned. At first, he was extremely kind and quickly gained the trust of the parishioners, and he was especially kind to me: he would take me out for ice cream and camping in the nearby mountains almost every weekend…”

“When I was 12, he gave me a brand new multi-speed bicycle. For someone who had long lacked a father’s love, his care made me dependent on him, and I even regarded him as a substitute for my father.”

"However, it was at this time that Father Hagenbach began to touch my sensitive areas without restraint when we were alone. He then showed me pornographic books and videos and induced me to drink alcohol. Because I had never received such intensive 'care' before and because I coveted the gifts he gave me, I ultimately chose to endure it."

"Soon afterward, his abuse escalated, and he forced me onto the bed in the church at night..."

Rudy was deeply shocked when he read the contents.

Jordan chuckled beside him, “Aren’t you surprised? This is just one of many cases… In New York alone, we investigated 189 cases.”

Rudy, a lawyer with a natural sense of justice, quickly replied upon hearing this.

"Mr. Jordan, may I be involved in these cases?"

"Of course you can, but not right now."

"why?"

"It's still under investigation... We received an invitation from the White House. The president is very disgusted by this kind of behavior and wants us to assist them in investigating these kinds of cases."

Rudy: "Wow~"

Despite being embroiled in the Lewinsky scandal, President Croton was, after all, the President of the United States.

Jordan: "Once the investigation is complete, we'll be handling some of the cases... You'll be busy then, how about it? Interested?"

Rudy perked up: "Of course!!"

Career and ideals, both fulfilled!
This job is a perfect match for him!

……

quickly,

Under President Clinton's impetus,

Major media outlets across the United States received information about the church-related sexual assault case.

Immediately, major American media outlets reported on it extensively.

Major newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times have been publishing in-depth reports on the church sexual assault case every day.

Television media were not to be outdone, with CNN, ABC, NBC and other stations launching 24/7 coverage.

Many of the parties involved came forward and accepted media interviews.

The American public was outraged.

Anger and shock.

"How could the church do such a thing? Where is the morality and justice they always preach?"

"Those evil priests must be severely punished, and justice must be served for the victims!"

As public opinion continued to escalate, large numbers of people spontaneously organized themselves and went to churches in various places to protest and demonstrate.

In Los Angeles, a group of victims and their families united to form the "Justice League," and they took to the streets for a large-scale march.

Angry crowds surrounded churches in Chicago, holding banners that read "The sins of the church are unforgivable."

Nationwide, normal religious activities in churches were forced to cease.

Believers: "…………"

I feel like I've cracked open.

I never imagined that the church I admire and believe in would do such a disgusting thing.

The church is in a complete mess.

Admit it, who will take the blame for such a huge crime?

Isn't it normal for godfathers to love young boys? It's not just in America, it's in Britain, Sweden…where in Europe isn't this happening?

If you don't admit it, the truth has already been revealed.

Both ends are blocked.

The Republican Party is also divided.

They were also thinking of using the Lewinsky scandal to attack President Croton.

Now look what's happened, our own backyard is on fire!
The Croton family is truly born evil!
With continued media exposure and the raging anger of the public,
Things are getting bigger.

Conflicts are increasing.

In Boston, an angry mob, carrying torches, stormed a historic church. Chanting "Justice! Justice!", they hurled torches at the church's wooden structure.

In an instant, flames shot up and quickly engulfed the church walls and roof.

Soon, the church was reduced to ashes in the fire.

Some people applauded the destruction of the church, while others wept, heartbroken by the collapse of their faith.

In Detroit.

A middle-aged man who had been sexually assaulted by a priest suffered psychological trauma as a child. After seeing the overwhelming reports of sexual assault in the church, his anger and hatred, which had been building up for many years, finally erupted.

He stormed into a local church, armed with an assault rifle.

They fired wildly.

The shooting ultimately resulted in 12 deaths and more than 20 injuries.

Finally, the man escaped.

Across the United States, protests have devolved into large-scale violent clashes.

In many cities, various conflicts between police and civilians, races and churches began to emerge, with thick smoke billowing from the streets, vehicles overturned, and shop windows smashed to pieces.

Meanwhile, many night elves began to awaken their genes, taking the opportunity to steal things and then run away.

This situation has occurred in many cities across the United States, especially in cities with large African American populations.

On the political level,

Democrats seized the opportunity to demand a thorough investigation into the political patronage network behind the church, claiming that Republicans turned a blind eye to the church's disgraceful practices for votes and political gain.

The Republicans vehemently denied the allegations, accusing the Democrats of using the issue for political manipulation and attempting to divert public attention from their own policy failures.

Capitol Hill was bustling with activity.

They argue every day, and even throw shoes and socks at each other.

Many bills that were originally progressing smoothly have been stalled due to this dispute, and the government's administrative efficiency has dropped significantly.

……

White House,

President Ketton breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, with this chaos, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Republic stubbornly took the blame.

The Democratic Party has a better chance of winning the next presidential election!
As for the chaos?

The more chaotic things get, the more the Democrats benefit, and the more the Republicans are blamed!
……

Guan Zu's side,

A group of people were eating dinner while watching news on TV that was constantly broadcasting about violent clashes and fighting in Congress.

Everyone excitedly watched the spectacle.

"Such an exhilarating battle is truly a joy to behold!"
