Chapter 1654: Chapter 1633: The Consequences Are Serious Gao Yang didn’t know how big this event was, but he knew it would definitely be sensational. Chapters fırst released on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 If this were a regular terrorist attack, one that resulted in only a few casualties, it would still cause a global sensation in the news. If there were a dozen or even dozens of casualties, then it would definitely be the headline of global media. But now, four gunmen were shooting into the crowd, and just as the attack began, someone stopped them. What is this? This is super sensational, super eye-catching news, and moreover, it’s the kind of iconic event that people love to talk about and can be discussed for decades without becoming outdated. The world needs heroes, America needs heroes, but true heroes are too few, and now, in front of many people, in an era where social media is highly developed and images are captured everywhere, Gao Yang has freshly crafted a true hero in the eyes of the world. The most critical part is that Gao Yang has molded himself into the kind of hero seen in blockbuster movies. He brought the heroes from blockbusters into reality, and at least he has saved over a dozen lives. What do you think Americans would make of such a hero? Thinking of this, Gao Yang felt cold all over, with sweat, cold sweat from fear, covering his back. Everyone can become famous, but Gao Yang cannot. Gao Yang has many identities in America, but without exception, all are fake. If no one looks into it, he can wander around America freely, but none of his fake identities can withstand scrutiny. If he becomes a hero highlighted by a halo of glory, it would definitely lead to his entire family history being dug up, which would be very serious, and since Gao Yang thwarted a terrorist attack, the FBI will absolutely take on this case. Now comes the problem: if Gao Yang is an immigrant, then when did he come to America? What visa did he use? Who was his visa officer? Is he a technical immigrant or an investor immigrant? All of this can be verified, and whether it be by the FBI or just enthusiastic citizens worshiping heroes, it would be very easy to find evident loopholes. If Gao Yang is a descendant of immigrants, then who is his father, and where does his family live? What industries are they involved in? No one can appear out of thin air. There’s always a growth trajectory, a life track, but for Gao Yang, all of this is blank unless he exposes his true identity. If he were simply exposed as a fugitive, it would be one thing, but Gao Yang is a mercenary, and one who has been involved in many major events, the kind where exposure equals death. Although he absolutely cannot reveal his identity, Gao Yang has no choice. He can only be a hero because if he hadn’t killed those four gunmen, both Yelena and he would have died, so no matter how serious the consequences, he had to be this truly life-threatening hero. Sitting in the police car, Gao Yang’s mind was in chaos. The police officer next to him was rambling on with a face full of admiration, but he didn’t hear a word. But such a reaction was normal; after killing several people, experiencing some psychological fluctuations was quite reasonable. Gao Yang’s mind was working furiously, thinking about strategies, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Soon, they arrived at the nearest police station, which was also chaotic. As Gao Yang was pushed inside by the police, he noticed that every officer, though urgent and hurried, would pause upon seeing him, then nod with gratitude or excitement. Some would even come up to Gao Yang, press a hand to his shoulder, gratefully say “thank you,” then rush off again. When led into an office and seated, the officer guiding him apologized, “I’m sorry, you’re a hero, but until we have concrete evidence, we can’t release you. I’m really sorry for handcuffing you.” Gao Yang nodded and whispered, “It’s okay, I understand.” The officer asked, puzzled, “Your voice?” Gao Yang replied with confusion, “I don’t know, I just shouted once, and then it ended up .” Just then, a police officer rushed over, loudly saying, “Unlock the handcuffs, unlock the handcuffs, it’s confirmed he’s a hero, not a suspect. We have received two videos, and there are many eyewitnesses.” The officer quickly removed Gao Yang’s handcuffs. The policeman immediately extended a hand to Gao Yang and said seriously, “Sir, on behalf of all my colleagues and the people present, I thank you. You’ve saved many lives!” Gao Yang had to respond emphatically, “It’s what I should do.” The officer asked in bewilderment, “What happened to your voice?” “Sir, he shouted once. I think maybe it’s a throat injury?” The policeman suddenly understood and immediately said, “Got it, I saw the video, and that shout was really loud!” After that, the officer warmly said, “Sit down, please. We need you to help with a statement. Our chief went to the scene, but he will definitely return soon. He wants to thank you personally. The FBI people are arriving soon, so you’ll have to wait a bit. I’m sorry. We should be taking you to a hospital instead.” Gao Yang nodded, whispering, “It’s okay, doesn’t matter. Where’s my girlfriend?” The officer immediately said, “Oh, my mistake, I’ll fetch your girlfriend right away. By the way, I must say, your girlfriend is really beautiful, and you two are a perfect match.” Soon, Yelena hurried over, and she immediately embraced Gao Yang. At this moment, Gao Yang, as if to comfort Yelena, murmured in an almost inaudible voice, “Cry, don’t say anything.” Yelena burst into tears, and she indeed only cried without saying a word. The policeman comforted them for a while, then said to Gao Yang, “Sir, I think your girlfriend might need psychological counseling. I suggest that she sees a psychologist.” Gao Yang patted Yelena; she just shook her head, clinging to Gao Yang, who smiled apologetically, then whispered, “Can I comfort her for a bit and make a phone call?” The officer immediately said, “Oh, of course, you can. Of course, you can, sir. You’re a hero, not a suspect. I must tell you that you can do anything you want. You and your girlfriend can stay here alone for a while, no problem at all.” The police officer left, and Gao Yang immediately said, “Just cry, act scared, and stay with me. Whatever you do, don’t say anything inconsistent with what I say. Now I need to make a phone call.” Yelena whispered, “I am scared, no need to act. Go ahead and make the call, Gao. You’re going to be famous this time; isn’t this a problem? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought you along…”
