"Gollum."

Swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Shamik took advantage of the dim lights of the nightclub and cautiously made his way to the second floor of Harlem Paradise.

"Shit, this is the real Harlem Paradise, this is what I want!" Shamik had the courage to look down on the scene on the first floor from the leap on the second floor, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Restrained his excitement and continued to walk inside, standing on the second floor with several men dressed as bodyguards, Shamik subconsciously raised his heart, but he was lucky enough and did not attract the attention of several people. Down the hallway on the second floor, Shamik came to an obvious office.

The Martin he had seen earlier was inside.

"I've never liked to go around the bush, so tell me, what's going on?"

Standing in front of the huge poster of "Mr. Notorious", Cornell looked at Martin and the others with the straps in front of him, and asked with interest.

"We met a guy and he ......"

"Ahh ”

"It's a yellow guy who wears a red jersey and a pair of torn sneakers."

Subconsciously raised his eyebrows, Cornell looked at Martin who was so big in front of him: "So, he is alone, and he will give a group of you guys?" ”

"He's so good that he kicked me away."

Cornell sat back in his chair and was silent for a while before he said, "A kick? ”

"We found a little mouse."

At this moment, the door to the room was opened, and the bodyguard walked in with Shamik in his hand.

Martin: "Shamik? ”

Cornell: "You know him?" ”

Martin: "No, we don't know each other very well. ”

Nodding his head and retracting his gaze, Cornell looked at Shamik in front of him and leaned forward slightly: "So, tell me boy, what are you doing at the door of my office." ”

"I'm just looking around, really, I'm a friend of Dante's and I'm still playing in your team."

Facing Connell's meaningful gaze, Shamik swallowed unconsciously.

"So boy, all I can say is a pity that there are some places in this world that you can't just look at casually, such as me." Stretching out his hand to signal to the bodyguard standing behind Shamik, Cornell returned his gaze to Martin and the others in front of him.

"Wait a minute, I know who that yellow man is, I saw him during the day!"

Anticipating what might happen to him next, Shamik hurriedly struggled in the hands of his bodyguard and shouted.

"Stop for a moment."

Raising his hand, stopping the bodyguard's movements, Cornell turned his gaze back to Shamik.

"Tell me, who the hell is that guy?"

……

"There's a small room on the third floor of the dining room, which used to be a storage room, but you can use it as your bedroom for the time being."

Late at night, Chinese restaurants close.

Mrs. Connie said to Li Ran, who was tidying up in the dining room.

"Also, try not to haunt at night, Harlem is not very safe, especially late at night, a lot of unemployed black people like to roam the streets, they like to rob other people like to rob people like you."

Although she had a straight face, Mrs. Connie also said a few words to Li Ran.

"It's not easy to go abroad alone, although I don't know why you came to the United States, but since you're here, work hard, at least so that you can live here, although the salary in the restaurant is not much, but at least you can ensure three meals and not go hungry."

"Thank you."

Although Li Ran's time working in a Chinese restaurant is not destined to be too long, Mrs. Connie's kindness still makes him feel a little warm.

Bang –

However, the warm moment did not last long, and soon there was a knock from the door, and several black thugs armed with baseball bats broke in.

"I'm sorry, we've ......"

Seeing a few guys who broke in, Li Ran was about to say something, but was pulled down by Mrs. Connie, who was standing beside him.

"What's going on?"

In the kitchen, the male owner of the Chinese restaurant, a middle-aged Chinese man with the same black hair and yellow skin, walked out.

Bang Dong –

A stick smashed the ceramic jar in the store, and a black man who obviously took the lead looked at the three people in the Chinese restaurant and asked in a disdainful tone, "How long have you been in this country, and have you learned to speak English?" ”

"I don't have a problem with English."

Facing the menacing black gangsters, the man took his wife behind him and replied.

"So, say to Cornell Stokes and Maria Dillard, in order to build a new Harlem, you donate money, and we'll go."

On the side, Li Ran had already figured out the situation, and it was obvious that these little thugs who broke in were here to collect money.

It seems that the security situation in Harlem is not very good, and it is a fight with Hell's Kitchen.

Faced with the threat of the black gangsters, the male owner of the Chinese restaurant, although afraid, still firmly refused: "This Chinese restaurant is mine, this building is obtained by my father's hard work, tell Cornell Stokes and Maria Dillard, I will not donate money to them, we voted for Maria Dillard, not for her to do this kind of thing." ”

"Obviously, old fellow, you haven't figured out the situation yet."

Hearing the man's refusal, several black men suddenly changed their faces, and the leader raised the baseball bat in his hand to the two old men, and said word by word: "I don't have the habit of respecting the old and loving the young, so the old guys, while we are still talking, obediently take out the money for me." ”

"I think they've made it clear enough."

has been watching from the side, Li Ran absolutely, it's time for him to appear.

"Ah Xing!"

Hearing Li Ran speak, Mrs. Connie, who was on the side, hurriedly shouted, wanting to stop him.

But, obviously, several black gangsters on the opposite side had noticed Li Ran next to him.

"What are you talking about?" Plucking out his ears, a black man close to Li Ran put the baseball bat behind him and stepped forward and asked, "I didn't know it just now, maybe you can repeat the words again?" ”

"I said, they're already ......" Glancing silently at the baseball bat behind the black man, Li Ran replied with an unchanged face.

Before Li Ran could finish repeating his words, the black man standing opposite him suddenly changed his face, and smashed the baseball bat behind him towards Li Ran opposite.
