No one forced Liu Handong, after all, this is just a little girl's whim, Professor Lindbergh even helped his assistant explain: "Li Ang really can't act in movies, he has a more introverted and low-key personality, and lacks the strong performance that actors must have**, Miss Isabella, don't be embarrassed for him." ”

Liu Handong took off his military uniform, changed into his own dress, put on his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and changed from a mighty Beiyang general to an assistant at the Columbia University Research Institute, and went downstairs together, Lindbergh praised his assistant for being proficient in Chinese history, and sighed that the study of modern history has to rely on the Taiwanese, Liu Handong smiled and said without saying a word.

Ms. Chen Jiao is already in her late teens, and she is maintained like a lady in her fifties, she has been to Taiwan many times, so she talked about Taiwan's customs with Liu Handong, but Liu Handong is an imposter Taiwanese, and he has no way to deal with it, so he has to hum and haha to deal with the past, but he is not sociable and has no desire to perform.

Originally, Chen Jiao invited Professor Lindbergh to ask him to serve as the film's historical consultant, and Li Ang was the professor's assistant, so he naturally had to take the lead.

The Chen family is a prominent family in New York, the real upper class, and those Chinese in Chinatown who speak Chaoshan dialect, open laundries and Chinese restaurants, they have completely integrated into American society and become international Chinese, Liu Handong has long heard of Chen Zikun's descendants in the United States, and after a short contact, I can't help but feel that they and we are completely different people from two worlds.

Before the party was over, Liu Handong excused himself to leave, it was cloudy outside, it was going to rain, he walked quickly along the sidewalk, and heard hurried footsteps behind him, it was Lucy chasing after him.

"I guess you don't like that kind of occasion, and I don't like it either." Lucy caught up with Liu Handong and walked side by side with him, there was nothing to say all the way, Liu Handong knew that Lucy had a good impression of him, this girl from New Jersey was cheerful and generous, fit and open-minded, but she didn't want to act on the scene and hurt other people's feelings.

It was raining, and the freezing rain in New York was extremely cold, and both of them were wearing rented dresses, so they had to hide in a small market on the side of the road to avoid the rain.

On a cold rainy evening, a melancholy blues came out of the cash register radio, which made people feel extremely depressed.

"Hey, Leon, why are you always so deep, not for your age?" Lucy said that Liu Handong's age on his passport was 26 years old, but in fact he was 32 years old, and he had experienced countless hardships and setbacks, which naturally did not match the so-called actual age.

"Nothing." Mr. Liu said he looked at the rain outside and remembered his hometown.

……

Omi is also raining, the same autumn rain continues, the delivery room of the city obstetrics and gynecology hospital, Ma Ling has been pushed for six hours, she was rushed to the hospital by her neighbors after the water broke, Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan heard about it and rushed to pay the fee, waiting for the birth of their grandson.

He Jian and Shui Cress also came, the two received the news, dropped their work and immediately rushed to the train station, took the nearest train to run over, caught up with the rain and dark, there was no taxi to call, the two of them came in the rain, a foot of mud, covered with water, anxious.

The doctor came out of the delivery room, dropped his mask and said, "What about the family?" ”

The four of them immediately caught up with them, their faces full of panic.

"The situation is more complicated, the umbilical cord is around the neck, and the position is not right, is it big or small?"

"Baoda, Baoda!" The four of them spoke in unison.

Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan really want to protect their daughter, He Jian and Shui Qin are insincere, they are eager to leave their son's blood and blood, but they can't violate their conscience, because their own needs to lose the daughter of the old Ma family, so they also want to protect the big.

The doctor didn't speak, took out the surgical risk responsibility letter and asked them to sign it, Ma Guoqing signed it with trembling hands, and the doctor went back.

The operation continues, and the four people outside are living like years, and every second is tormenting.

Shui Cress began to cry, for her hard-working son and daughter-in-law, as well as her unborn grandson, although she has always been reluctant to admit it, but she understands in her heart that her son will never come back, and now even her grandson's life is hanging by a thread.

He Jian patted Shui Qin's shoulder and asked her not to affect other people's feelings, since Liu Handong disappeared, Ma Guoqing and his family have a lot of opinions about the old Liu family, and they spread their dissatisfaction with their daughter on their heads, and at this moment, they can't intensify the conflict.

Shui Qin nodded, endured her sadness and walked to the balcony, and suddenly the door of the delivery room opened, and the doctor beckoned Ma Guoqing: "Master, come over for a moment." ”

Ma Guoqing was so frightened that he walked over and didn't dare to speak.

The doctor said, "Maternal bleeding is profuse, and it can be life-threatening. ”

Ma Guoqing said: "Please save my daughter, I can donate no blood, use my blood." ”

The doctor said: "The blood of the immediate family members cannot be used, and there is no shortage of blood in the blood bank, so I just want to inform you and be mentally prepared." Then he went back again.

Ma Guoqing sat on the chair with tears in his eyes, and kept muttering: "Evil, evil." ”

Wang Yulan also beat her chest: "Let her beat it early, beat it down, but she just didn't listen, this kid is a debt collector, or not!" ”

He Jian and Shui Cress couldn't persuade them, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only wait for the bad news to come from a distance and timidly.

After another hour, the midwife came out, and everyone's hearts hung in the air, like a condemned prisoner waiting for the final verdict.

The midwife shouted expressionlessly: "Ma Ling's family, eight pounds and eight taels, boy." ”

Ma Guoqing was the first to react, pounced over and asked, "How is my daughter?" ”

"The mother is still in danger, but it's not a big problem." The midwife said, "The newborn is in the intensive care unit and cannot see his family for a while. ”

Ma Guoqing cried with joy, a big man, and he actually burst into tears.

Wang Yulan also wiped away her tears: "My daughter, my life is miserable." ”

He Jian and Shui Cress finally breathed a sigh of relief, they would rather not hold their grandson than watch Ma Ling die in childbirth, fortunately, God bless, the mother and child are safe.

It's just that there is one missing in front of him, and it would be nice if the child's father was here.

……

New York, a small 7-Eleven city near Central Park, the rain is still falling, and there is no tendency to stop, and there are only a few customers in the city, including Liu Handong and Lucy.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and two black customers with big shoulders and round waists, wearing metal chains around their necks and hip-hop clothes, pulled out their guns as soon as they entered the door, one with a silver chrome M9 to force the cashier, and the other with a shotgun with a sawn butt to threaten the customers in the store, shouting: "Take out your wallet!" ”

The cashier shuddered, opened the cash drawer, took out the banknotes inside, and the customers, threatened by shotguns, took out their wallets one after another.

Liu Handong is tall, threatening Cheng Dù the highest, and the robber who is fierce and inward-looking, in order to show his majesty, smashed the barrel of a gun on his stomach, he bent down, his expression was painful, in fact, he was resisting the urge to do it, and it would definitely make a big fuss, and there was monitoring in the store, so he didn't want to cause trouble.

The black robber was actually very nervous, and after looting the money, he was about to flash people, and suddenly the kid with the shotgun saw the orange circle omega on Liu Handong's wrist, his eyes lit up, and he ordered him to take off his watch.

Liu Handong did not move, staring at the robber's eyes.

The robber was furious and smashed the butt of his rifle on the arch of his eyebrows, and immediately bled profusely.

Lucy was frightened, for fear that Liu Handong would suffer a big loss if he didn't know each other, most of these black robbers were addicts, and they didn't blink an eye when they killed people, and there was no good fruit to eat if they were angry.

Liu Handong was very sensible, obediently took off his watch and handed it over, the robbers succeeded, and left quickly.

The clerk called the police, and the NYPD police car quickly arrived at the scene, registered the victim, and Liu Handong was also carried into the ambulance and pulled to the hospital for bandaging, accompanied by Lucy throughout the process.

This kind of robbery is a common small case in New York, just like the theft of bicycles in China.

In the evening, Liu Handong returned to the rented apartment, was silent for a long time in the mirror, picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lucy, asking her to ask for leave on his behalf, and not to go to work at the institute tomorrow.

Lucy immediately called and asked with concern, "Poor, do you want me to accompany you?" ”

Liu Handong politely declined: "I want to be alone." ”

Lucy was very empathetic and said: "Most people have never experienced robbery, I have been in New York for so long, and it is the first time I have been robbed, I am afraid that it is nothing, it is a normal reaction, you rest, see you the day after tomorrow." ”

Liu Handong hung up the phone and began to think about tomorrow's plan, he knew that black people in New York generally do not commit crimes across districts, and the robbers should be one of the several black gangs entrenched in Central Park, not some cattle people, or ordinary gangsters.

Central Park is a 34o hectare rectangular green space in the middle of Manhattan, with 9ooo benches and 6ooo trees, which is a good place for New Yorkers to have fun and relax, but no one dares to go to Central Park at night, where it is a hotbed of crime, a paradise for blacks and vagabonds.

The next day, Liu Handong put on a jumper and sweatpants, and walked around Central Park on a fixedgea bicycle for a whole day, the image of the two little thieves was already firmly imprinted in his mind, but trying to find these two people in Central Park was similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Liu Handong has a way, he doesn't know the two thieves, but the blacks definitely know each other.

When evening came, Central Park closed at half past four in the afternoon, but there were still a large number of people stranded in the park, Liu Handong lurked in the bushes, pulled on his mask, changed into another costume, and walked towards a group of bored black buddies.

The blacks were strangers, and they were excited like children with new toys, and they came around.

"Hey, man, are you here for fun?" A black man shouted.

Liu Handong was silent, and casually pulled out his throwing stick and shook it away, and the black people saw that the situation was not good, and they also took out their dicks, chains, razors, and daggers, which were full of murderous aura.

Three minutes later, the black buddy broke his leg and broke his tendons, lying on the ground, wailing again and again, Liu Handong pulled the leading guy and asked: "At this time yesterday, two robbed a 7-11 on 78th Street, and I have something to do with them." ”
