Chapter 114: The Return (Medium)
That night, Chinatown.
After returning to New York. Luo Yang had also met a group of friends, and he remembered that Uncle Fang hadn't been there for a long time. Fang Deyan is a good friend of his father, and treats him like his own son.
When he first came to New York, the house was rented by Uncle Fang, and the community college was also contacted by him.... It's time to go to Uncle Fang's shop and talk to him. After all, he's been away from New York for half a year.
Luo Yang came alone to the Hing Leong Hotel on Kinny Street in the Chinatown neighborhood.
It's late afternoon, and it's the busiest time for the hotel.
Inside the restaurant, all the tables are filled, and it is very lively. Most of the local Chinese eat here, but there are also a considerable number of white families who also choose to eat at Chinese restaurants.
Luo Yang quietly approached the middle-aged man with white hair on his temples, he was slightly chubby and slightly fat.
"Pack a rice bowl with shredded pork with green peppers! Boss Fang. ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Uncle Fang raised his head and squinted to identify who it was.
"Roy?! It's been a long time since you've been here! Quick, come over here. ”
Uncle Fang, who unexpectedly saw Luo Yang appear, was extremely excited!
Uncle Fang pulled Little Roy to sit on the empty seat near the cash register, which had just been vacated.
Uncle Fang shouted while bringing Sprite:
"Stir-fry a few dishes for me."
"—but remember, there must be shredded pork with green peppers!"
Fang Deyan turned his head:
"Roy, Principal Adrian told me three months ago that you applied for a leave of absence and didn't go to school? Why? ”
Luo Yang guessed that Uncle Fang would talk about this, and he definitely couldn't say that he went to Kathmandu to study.
"I went out on a trip for a few months. Mainly in Asia, but also went to China. ”
Uncle Fang looked confused, hesitated, and then continued:
"I went to ask your friend Calvin, and I found out that you left New York and haven't come back. I didn't expect you to go for so long this time. ”
"I'm back now, and everything is normal." Luo Yang took a sip of chilled Sprite, "By the way, it seems that the hotel business has been doing well recently!" ”
Uncle Fang looked around with satisfaction, and the guests all greeted him cordially and called out his name.
"Generally average. It's pretty much the same as before!"
Uncle Fang got up and brought his wine glass: "Roy, accompany me for a few drinks!" ”
After a while, the food was served from the back kitchen.
Luo Yang and Uncle Fang drank together and ate authentic Chinese dishes. The wine I drank was a mellow taste, but it was also very punchy. Uncle Fang forced him to drink liquor, and the young man who had just turned 20 could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
After three rounds of drinking, time flew by, and gradually, most of the guests in Xinglong Hotel finished their meal and left the hotel after checking out. There were only a few Chinese men left, who continued to drink, eat peanuts, and chat.
The air was filled with the smell of food, and the electric fan overhead swayed with difficulty, making an embarrassing cracking sound.
Wow!
The door to the hotel was slammed open.
Generally, few people come to the Chinese restaurant after the meal.
Luo Yang looked up and saw that there were several Asian men with cigarettes in their mouths and black vests, with strong figures.
The four of them pushed the door open and walked into the hotel with a big grin.
"Brother Aaron of the Triad! Why are you here today? ”
Uncle Fang immediately got up and greeted him. He drank heavily, only half-drunk,
The triad, known as Aaron, sat down at the table by the door. He looked like a Chinese-American half-breed, with a green dragon tattooed on his neck.
"I've been short of money lately, so I've come to Kenny Street early to collect money."
"Hmm..... Understood, I'm ready. Uncle Fang smiled awkwardly and answered.
Uncle Fang was about to get up and get the money, but he whispered to Luo Yang, "This is Aaron of the Triad. Week. He's in charge of collecting conservation money for this part of Chinatown...."
From what he knew about the night operation in New York, he knew that the triads had been collecting protection money.
Luo Yang looked at Aaron and his followers coldly: "How often do they come to collect protection money?" ”
"Probably once a month."
These people are just like the big aunt...
Uncle Fang walked to the cash register, and Aaron added:
"By the way, New York has been getting more and more chaotic recently, and all kinds of cats and dogs have come out. Our triad covers you, and the protection fee is naturally rising. ”
Uncle Fang snorted, not knowing how much money Aaron wanted to extort.
"Now the protection fee for our triad is at least $1,200 at a time. Don't take less, Boss Fang. ”
These scum come once a month, sometimes earlier. Demanding up to $1,000 or more every time? Why are they?
There is no way these gangsters would want to protect the shop. They are just using their own power to squeeze every penny of hard-earned money from these ordinary businessmen in Chinatown.
And to really protect their street heroes, it is absolutely impossible to charge anything.
Don't give them money! Luo Yang was eager to say this.
However, I have to use my brain first, and I can't harm the future survival of Uncle Fang Hotel.
Beat up the triads in this restaurant, or kill all four? The next to suffer will definitely be Uncle Fang and Xinglong Hotel.
Luo Yang watched Uncle Fang count out the money and hand it to Aaron.
And Aaron. Zhou praised the boss Fang for his good management, and left satisfied and went to the next store.
"Uncle Fang, I'll go out first, and I'll come back when I do good things."
Without waiting for Uncle Fang to agree, Luo Yang pushed open the door and walked out.
... He followed behind the Aaron Four.
After following and observing for a long time, these four members of the triad pretended to be and shouted back and forth to collect protection money from at least five Chinese shops.
There was a shop that specialized in buying and selling clothes and small goods, and it was impossible to come up with cash for a while. And Aaron. Zhou was not ambiguous, took out a gun directly, pointed at the other party's head and asked him to pay the money.
In the end, after a threat, Aaron and his men were offered $500 and a valuable watch. He kicked the door of the shop hard and threw it away.
Aaron..... This man speaks broken Mandarin and is more like a Southeast Asian race.
His ugly face made Luo Yang extremely annoyed, and the three Asian men around him were even more wanton, in order to collect protection money, they could say anything.
The four members of the triad left Chinatown and went to the parking lot to pick up their cars.
Royan followed closely all the way.
Aaron and his three brothers drive out of Chinatown to the nearest red-light district, squandering the money they have earned tonight, which may allow them to find four top Eastern European babies.
Luo Yang waited patiently until the four of them finished their entertainment and walked out of the bright lights.
Aaron and his brother came out of the fancy clubhouse, drank some wine, and staggered down the deserted streets.
At the empty street entrance, Luo Yang flashed out and shouted with full anger:
"Aaron. Week. ”
Hearing the shout, the four of them turned their heads together.
They saw a tall boy in a regular student coat, wearing a black mask, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He was standing not far away.
