Chapter 398: Hot Dogs and Bad Cops (Part I)
What Li Kang needs most now is not family affection or friendship, nor the help of others, what he needs is really luck, and every bit of luck is very important.
The brilliance of the gold sun coin flickered, and compared to it, the appearance of Bob and the others was not so important.
Walking out of the casino, the scorching sun outside, the rare good weather in New York, but the air pollution is serious, the sun is around, showing a strange halo, breathing this air, the chance of developing lung cancer must be more than ten times higher than other places, plus the amount of smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, with the blessing of this double DBUFF, Li Kang calculated, in the whole New York City, he is the one who deserves this disease the most, otherwise there will be no heavenly reason.
It's also quite strange to say, after getting the Sun Gold Coins, Li Kang's whole person became sunny, and his way of thinking became clear and open, not to mention anything else, why did he get cancer, Li Kang complained about the sky for a long, long time, and today this knot in his heart was inexplicably solved.
There was a stall selling hot dogs in front, Li Kang walked over, "Boss, bring me a mustard hot dog, put more cucumbers and less lettuce." β
The hot dog stall owner is an enthusiastic black uncle, and he immediately got a hot dog for Li Kang, "I've been selling hot dogs here for almost twenty years, and many big names are my old customers, you are really lucky today, if you come later, my hot dogs will be all gone." β
All the small traders and vendors are the same, always like to brag about how good their goods are, Li Kang suddenly saw the shadow of his father in the body of the hot dog stall owner, and his father was like this, whenever a guest came to pick up the clothes, his father always said - look at the clothes I washed for you, this craft is the best in New York....
After so many years, Li Kang snorted, he is also a father soon, "Big brother, you must have made a fortune selling hot dogs for so many years." β
Li Kang said jokingly.
The hot dog stall owner smiled honestly, "I haven't heard of it, selling hot dogs can make a fortune, it's just a mix of food, but my children are very promising, the boss is at MIT, do you know? Iron Man Tony Stark, is a graduate of MIT, my boss is his big fan, the second is a rap genius, he is only fifteen years old this year, and there is a company to sign him, that's a big company, Harlem Heaven knows?" Maria personally chose the second child of my family, his future is worry-free, the third child of my family is a girl, beautiful, just like her mother, she is only in high school now, but among the three children, the most sensible one, she wants to be a lawyer in the future. β
Li Kang smiled, looking at the seriously happy father in front of him, he ate a hot dog, and handed over a hundred-dollar bill, "Give me another hot dog, I'm hungry." β
The hot dog stall owner was busy for a while, and he quickly made another hot dog, and when he was looking for money, Li Kang called out to him.
"Don't look for money, the rest should be a tip, I got a big win in the casino today," Li Kang said, "Tell me about your children again, don't hide it from you, in fact, I'm also about to become a father, your children are so promising, I must learn from it." β
After the hot dog stall owner thanked Li Kang for a few words, he took off his hat and rubbed his shiny bald head, "I'm just a rough person, I don't know a few big characters, unlike you Celestial Empire people, we blacks generally don't pay much attention to education... , I'm ashamed to say it, when I was young, I was also a gangster, and I was still a man of the year in the gang. β
The hot dog stall owner rolled up his arm and showed Li Kang the tattoo on his arm, which was a red flame in Harlem, a small gang called the Red Fire Gang, which has now disappeared.
It is said that the leader of the Red Fire Gang offended Cornell the water pit viper, and in the past few years, he was bulldozed by Cornell and others.
"Then why did you quit?"
"Because I have a family, and I heard that Cornell the water viper is back, and he's an ambitious viper, and I didn't feel good at the time, so I quit the gang, and you probably don't know who Cornell is," said the hot dog stall owner, "but if you go to Harlem, everyone knows his name, but unfortunately, he died the other day, and this viper died, and it's good for everyone." β
Li Kang knew who Cornell was, but he pretended not to know, "What about later? Although I don't mix with the gang, I still know a little bit, after joining the gang, it is not easy to quit, how did you quit, and what happened to your gang later?"
A light shot out of the hot dog stall owner's eyes, and he looked at Li Kang vigilantly, and then he smiled with relief, " Don't be frightened by my eyes, this is just a bad habit left back then, in fact, the gang grew stronger and stronger, and finally took a large piece of Harlem Paradise, the gang's life was suddenly better, but the internal hearts became impetuous, everyone thinks that they have a lot of credit, should be the boss, the gang, sooner or later there will be big problems, I am old qualifications, I will become those ambitious people if I don't get it right, the target of clearance, I just got married at the time, for this family, for the sake of my beloved woman, I took the initiative to quit, you may not believe it, they also gave me a sum of money, I think so, when I quit this matter, let them all breathe a sigh of reliefγ β
The hot dog stall owner's eyes suddenly moistened, and he thought that the Red Fire Gang had disappeared, just like he had shed blood and sacrificed for it back then, and all his efforts and youth had been in vain, he said with some sadness, " As far as I know, the water pit viper Cornell personally led the team and besieged the headquarters of the Red Fire Gang, Cornell had someone behind him, the firepower was strong, in Harlem Heaven, he dared to use RPG, anyway, his sister was a councilor, Cornell fired a rocket, and killed most of the Red Fire Gang, followed by a massacre, and afterwards his sister Maria said that it was a gas pipe leak, and the family lost a little money, so it was over. β
Li Kang nodded, this is similar to what he knows, now that Cornell is also dead, Harlem Heaven is the world of that Mary, "You'd better let your second son stay away from that Mary, and you can release records or anything, but as long as you keep business contacts, don't make deep friends." β
The hot dog stall owner's brow furrowed, and he asked again vigilantly, "Sir, tell me the truth, are you from the FBI?"
Li Kang couldn't help laughing, "What? I look like it's from the FBI? Just kidding, there are not a few Celestial Empire people in the FBI, and they won't trust the Celestial Empire people, because the two countries are competing." β
The hot dog stall owner stared at Li Kang carefully for a while, and he said frankly, "It doesn't matter if it's the FBI, the gang I mixed up with is gone, and I haven't dealt with them for twenty years, and I have no value to the FBI." β
"That's right, it's to live so openly. Li Kang gave a thumbs up, "I admire you." β
The hot dog stall owner laughed.
Suddenly, a black beauty high school student with a super good figure came from a distance, and she trotted in front of the hot dog stall owner, "Dad, give me a hot dog, I'm hungry." β
The hot dog stall owner looked at her dotingly, "This is your favorite food, eat it slowly, I won't rob you." β
"Dad, you really hate it, it's still my brothers' trouble, they eat like tigers, if I don't eat quickly, all the food will be eaten by them, so I have developed the problem of eating ugly, it's all their fault," the stall owner's daughter said angrily, "Dad, is this gentleman your friend?"
The hot dog stall owner shook his head and said, "He's just a guest, oh! I don't know your name yet." β
Li Kang stretched out his hand, "My name is Li Kang." β
The hot dog stall owner shook his hand and shook it, "My name is Barton, this is my daughter Leia, Leia is calling uncle." β
Leia said very politely, "Hello uncle. β
Li Kangmo rubbed his chin, although he had some stubble, but he was not much older than Leia, how could he become an uncle?
"Hey, do I look that old? Li Kang said hello and turned to leave.
Li Kang hadn't gone far before he passed by a sturdy white man.
The man, dressed in a police uniform and holding an electric baton in his hand, staggered to the front of the hot dog stand.
