Volume 2 1999 Chapter 94 The Chinese need to be self-reliant

Anne Lee's residence is located on 59th Avenue in Flushing, Queens.

Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban district in the world, with Flushing being home to Asians, especially Chinese, and the largest Chinatown in New York, where you can live a normal life even if you don't know English.

"It's a bit like Lethven here. ”

Avril looked out the car window and saw shops with signs in Chinese characters everywhere.

The Lethman she said is located in the Vancouver area of Canada, which is also a place where Chinese people gather.

Speaking of which, overseas Chinese always like to get together, giving people the feeling of not being able to integrate into the mainstream life of the West.

At the same time, because of the "introverted" lifestyle of the Chinese, it has also left the impression of weakness and bullying on other ethnic groups, so the law and order environment in Flushing has always been worrisome, and it has the highest crime rate in New York except for a few slums such as the Bronx.

Unlike the frequent civil strife in several slums, most of the chaos in Flushing comes from the outside, in other words, it is a good place to "fight the autumn breeze".

……

Rolls-Royce stopped at the corner of 59th Avenue and 138th Street in Flushing, Queens.

Avril asked, "Arrived?"

Chen Chen said: "It's just in front, I suggest not getting out of the car yet." ”

She said, gesturing ahead.

In front of a villa not far away, a group of people gathered.

Standing or crouching, the men gathered on the sidewalk opposite the villa, most of them empty-handed, a few holding baseball bats.

Obviously, they're not here to play.

Li Yuan took advantage of the street lights and counted the number of people, about twenty.

The number of people alone can feel tricky.

Li Yuan asked Avril for Anne Lee's phone number and dialed her.

“……”

The phone was connected, but the other party did not speak, and from the rapid breathing, it could be heard that the other party was nervous.

"Hello, is it Anne Lee?"

"Hello, who are you?"

Li Yuan said in Chinese: "I am a friend of Avril's, and we are near your house now. ”

Anne Lee asked, "Are you also Chinese?"

"Yes. Li Yuan said: "Don't be too nervous, listen to me." ”

"Hmm. ”

"I can see your house now, but there are a lot of people on the other side, I want to ask, do you have a gun in your house?"

"Yes, no, no ......"

"Is there any?"

"Yes. But, I won't use ......."

"Are you at home by yourself?"

"And my grandma, just the two of us. ”

"Hmm. Who bought the gun?"

"My dad. ”

"What guns, pistols?"

"No, I heard him say, it's supposed to be a shotgun, probably. ”

"Okay, listen to me, now get the gun out, don't forget the bullets. I'll have someone teach you how to use it, and when you do, I'll tell you how to do it. ”

"......" Li Annie was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll go now, don't hang up the phone......"

"Good. ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he handed the phone to Chen Chen and said, "Next, please leave it to you." ”

Chen Chen nodded and took the phone.

……

"What are you going to do?" What did you say to Anne?"

Avril couldn't understand Chinese and didn't know what Li Yuan was planning.

Li Yuan explained: "Those people obviously only dare to bully the weak, otherwise they would have broken in a long time ago, I asked her to shoot and scare, if it can't be solved, then you can only call the police." ”

Avril pouted, "I thought you had a good idea, I thought you were going to go out and fight them." ”

Are you kidding.

Li Yuan rolled his eyes. Even if there were ten more of him

No, even if there were ten more Bruce Lee, he wouldn't risk it. This is not a domestic country, who knows if those guys have guns, in case they get shot, it is no joke.

Avril instigated, "You don't think about it anymore? ”

Li Yuan joked: "If it were a beauty like you, I would definitely not hesitate." ”

Avril sarcastically said, "Your taste is so strong. ”

Li Yuan smiled and asked, "You also admit that your dress is scary?"

"I mean, I'm still a minor, and besides, I'm not interested in men, and I'm not interested in foreign men, so if you want to fish me, you'd better save it. Besides, aren't you in a relationship with that woman named Paris?"

"Huh?"

"Don't look at me like that. ”

Avril picked up the newspaper next to her, pointed to the photo on it and asked, "Isn't this you?"

Li Yuan said helplessly: "I always thought that Asian faces were difficult for you to recognize. ”

"But your name is not hard to recognize. Avril said, "If I can't see such a big headline, unless I'm blind." ”

She said, warily asking, "So what is the purpose of you approaching me?"

"We just happened to meet, okay?"

"But you took me to the car. ”

"You said you wanted a ride, how can you blame me?"

……

"Can you be quiet!"

Chen Chen shouted, and then said softly to the phone: "I'm not talking about you...... Okay, remember what I just taught you, yes, you must stand on your feet, your left hand straight, your joints relaxed, and your shoulders tightened......"

After teaching for nearly five minutes, he felt that there should be no problem, and Chen Chen handed the mobile phone to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan asked, "How is it?

Li Anne replied nervously: "Yes, maybe, I don't know ......"

"Hey, you can't do this, relax, it's easier to shoot than to set off firecrackers......"

"I'm most afraid of firecrackers......"

"......" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Listen, if you don't want to be stuck at home all the time, then do as I say...... Open the window and shoot outside. ”

Chen Chen reminded: "Remember to remind her to shoot at the sky." ”

Li Yuan nodded: "Remember to aim for the ...... you hate the most Forget it, you don't have that good marksmanship anyway, just remember to shoot at the crowd. ”

Chen Chen didn't react for a while, and when she realized that something was wrong, she suddenly leaned over and grabbed the phone, Li Yuan had already hung up the phone.

Chen Chen hurriedly dialed the phone and said to Li Yuan with an angry face: "You"

"Bang!"

As soon as she began to speak, she was interrupted by the sound of gunshots.

Chen Chen turned his head mechanically and found that the crowd that had originally gathered outside the gate of the villa was scattered and fled like startled sparrows, and only one person remained in place, falling to the ground and writhing in pain.

Li Yuan also saw it.

He whistled and boasted, "The marksmanship is good, and he really hit one." ”

"What are you doing?!I'm warning you, don't hurt anyone......"

Chen Chen poured his anger on Li Yuan like a cannon. Yes, it was Annie Li who shot, but Li Yuan, who instructed her to shoot at the crowd, was the culprit.

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the American law will protect a person who lives in a villa? Or is it a thug who will only cause trouble on the street? Even if you don't believe in the law, can't the consulate even settle this kind of thing?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, while Chen Chen was distracted, he snatched his mobile phone, opened the car door and walked down.

"Annie, put the gun away, I don't want to be killed by you!"

Li Yuan shouted and walked towards the villa.

Passing by that was shot

Li Yuan stopped and looked. The other party seems to have been hit in the thigh and looks very painful, but judging from the strength he still has the strength to struggle and writhe, he should not be able to die for a while.

Of course, Li Yuan is not a doctor, so there is no way to judge the specific injury.

He thought about it and called 911.

"59 Flushing Avenue 13608...... Yes, there were criminals who tried to burglocate, one of them was knocked down and wounded in the leg. No injuries ...... the occupants"

Li Yuan explained the situation and hung up the phone.

At this time, the door of the villa just opened, and a girl ran out in a hurry with a shotgun.

"Are you Li Yuan?" the girl asked.

"It's me, can you put the gun down first, you're pointing at me like this, I'm under a lot of pressure. ”

"Ah, okay......"

The girl ran back into the house, put the gun away, and ran out again.

"He ......" The girl glanced at the man on the ground, flashed to Li Yuan's side in fright, grabbed his arm and asked, "He, is he okay?"

"As long as you're not too lucky, you shouldn't be able to die. Li Yuan complained: "You should be accurate, and remember to aim at your head next time......"

"Li Yuan, you're enough!" Chen Chen shouted.

"Enough? no, not at all. ”

Li Yuan turned to Chen Chen and said coldly: "We are all Chinese, but this is the United States, so we can't do things according to Chinese standards, otherwise we ......"

Li Yuan looked at the empty street and said, "There should be a lot of Chinese living around here, but this kind of thing happened, and no one came out." Yes, even consulates are afraid of trouble, and ordinary immigrants naturally dare not cause trouble. But because of this, Chinese are bullied abroad. Don't always tell me that only when a country is strong can it have confidence, because confidence is not given by others, but earned by yourself!"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Chen Chen, who had an ugly face, and called again.

"Lawyer Huang, I'm Li Yuan, I need your help with something here...... Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

Li Yuan finished making the phone call and waited for two minutes before the police car and ambulance arrived.

"It's slow. ”

Li Yuan walked towards the police car.

"Stop, don't move, put your hands up!"

The two policemen raised their pistols and shouted at Li Yuan as if they were facing a great enemy.

Li Yuan slowly raised his hands and said, "Relax, I am the police, and I am an eyewitness." ”

The two policemen did not speak, one of them was on guard with a gun, and the other stepped forward to search his body to make sure that Li Yuan did not have firearms and other dangerous items on him, and then relaxed.

The policeman in charge of the body search said to Li Yuan: "I am a police officer from the 109 precinct, my name is Connors Miller, please wait a moment, we need to take pictures of the scene first, and we will learn from you about the process ......of the crime later."

……

Farther away, Hartman Cat was behind the green belt, shaking his head and saying to the black man, "It looks like my judgment is wrong." ”

The black man was silent, and the blind could see that Li Yuan was not in a hurry to sleep with the girl he had just met.

Hartman asked again, "Do you think I'm going to report to the higher-ups?"

"I said, are you really the FBI?"

"Why are you still here?" Hartman turned his head to find that the taxi driver was also on the side.

"Nonsense, you haven't paid for the car yet!" the driver said with a puff.

"Take it!" Hartman took out his wallet, counted out a few bills and stuffed them into the driver, and said, "It's none of your business now, take the money and leave quickly!"

"Say as much as you want, don't even tip ......"

The driver counted the bills and muttered to the taxi parked on the street.

After getting into the car, the complaint on his face disappeared suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone, and said excitedly to the other end of the phone: "Hey, Smith, do you know what just happened?"
