Chapter 410: Bad News
"Mr. Mu, you're here." Gao Yunliang's voice was a little hoarse, but he still greeted Muyang very politely, showing good recuperation.
Gao Yunliang, 26, after graduating from a university in China, later applied for a scholarship to study engineering at the University of Houston a year ago.
Gao Yunliang was born in rural Hebei, his family is an honest farmer, Gao Yunliang is very sensible, he wants to change the state of himself and his family through his studies, his original grades can actually go to higher institutions to go to school, but the University of Houston can apply for higher scholarships, and other schools, he can't afford such high tuition, so he finally chose this university ranked 128th in the world, fortunately, the ranking of engineering majors here is not bad, ranked 69th in the world, which is a good university.
After Gao Yunliang came to the United States, he has been studying hard, studying with Professor Anderson, his scholarship is enough for him to live, and later he found a part-time job, and sometimes he can even send some money back to his family to improve his family's living environment.
With some money in his hand, of course he wanted to improve his life, the United States is known as a country on wheels, and it is very inconvenient to not have a car, so he saved up and spent more than $3,000 to buy a second-hand car.
But there were unforeseen circumstances, he had a car accident, the other party was a drunk, but Gao Yunliang was also responsible, the drunk died, and Gao Yunliang was sentenced to 10 months in prison.
In fact, Gao Yunliang could reach a settlement with the other party's family, but the other party's asking price was too high, and he opened his mouth to 500,000 US dollars. Now Americans think that all Chinese who come to the United States. All of them are nouveau riche, and naturally they want to squeeze out a sum of money.
But Gao Yunliang is just a poor student. The money for his studies is all on scholarships, how can he get 500,000 US dollars, so in the end he can only be sentenced to prison.
Gao Yunliang is not afraid of going to prison, but if he delays his studies, his life will be ruined, his parents are in China, and they are farmers, so they can't count on it at all, even if they come to the United States. I can't help myself at all.
During the trial, the court assigned Gao Yunliang a lawyer named Bor, who asked the lawyer Bol what he should do, and Bol told him that you can try with your country's embassy to see if they can help you.
Gao Yunliang tried to make a phone call to the Houston Consulate General, but got a result that he didn't expect.
Muyang took out the suspension certificate from his briefcase and handed it to Gao Yunliang, who took the paper. After reading it, my hands trembled, and I couldn't help crying at the end.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you so much." Gao Yunliang cried and said.
"I just did what I could. Your supervisor, Professor Anderson, also asked me to tell you that when you get out of prison, you can still study with him. ”
"That's right. I've also brought you something. Mu Yang said as he picked up a package on the ground and put it on the table.
The guards came over and checked. found out that they were all books, and then handed them to Gao Yunliang.
"These have your original books. There is also a list of books that Professor Anderson has given you, I have brought them all, you will be in prison for 10 months, don't waste this time, read more books, I think, time will pass soon. Muyang said.
"As a Chinese diplomat, I also met with the prison director and asked them to take care of your foreigners' food in accordance with international regulations, and they promised to arrange two Chinese meals a week."
As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, Gao Yunliang stood up suddenly, and the prison guard thought that he was going to make trouble, so he quickly touched the pistol on his waist, who knew that Gao Yunliang knelt down straight and straight like that in the next second, which made Mu Yang also stunned.
"What are you doing, stand up quickly." Mu Yang said, but this is a prison, and it is not good for Mu Yang to come forward and have physical contact with Gao Yunliang, which is not allowed.
"Mr. Mu, I don't know how to thank you, you saved the rest of my life." Gao Yunliang said.
"The man has gold under his knees, there is no need for you to kneel down these things, you get up first, don't let the prison guards misunderstand." Muyang said.
At this time, the prison guards had already rang the alarm bell and were calling others over, because Gao Yunliang's action was a more radical behavior in their eyes.
Gao Yunliang also knew the severity and stood up.
When Gao Yunliang was taken back by the prison guards, when he arrived at the door, he turned around and bowed deeply to Muyang.
Watching Gao Yunliang's figure disappear at the end of the fence gate, Muyang felt that his efforts these days were not in vain, maybe he could save a person's life by spending a little more time and energy, and it was meaningful to do these things by himself.
Muyang returned to the embassy, after dinner, the time was just right, and then called Xu Youshan, Houston and the capital have a time difference of about 14 hours, Houston is evening, Beijing is morning, Muyang and Xu Youshan made an appointment, as long as there is time, the two of them will talk, and the evening is too affecting the rest, so it is set in the morning of Beijing time, Xu Youshan said, this is to start a pleasant day.
"Husband, it's snowing in the capital, is it snowing there?" Xu Youshan said.
"Houston is on the Gulf Coast, it belongs to the subtropical climate, it is very rare to see snow here, the average temperature during the day is about 16 or 7 degrees, and the coldest at night is only seven or eight degrees, I am only wearing autumn clothes and pants now." Mu Yang said with a smile.
"I really envy you, you don't have to wear winter clothes, the house is cold, our house has been renovated more than half, I think it may not be completed before the New Year." Xu Youshan said.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, do you work slowly?"
The two of them chatted like this, most of them were inconsequential little things, some about the family, some about the house, and about the unit, occasionally Xu Youshan would ask some things about the translation, anyway, the two of them had endless topics, many times, it was Xu Youshan who went to the unit to get ready to go to work, and the two hung up the phone.
Transatlantic phone calls are very expensive, Mu Yang calculated, every month he just paid for the phone, his salary plus subsidies were not enough, but Mu Yang still cared about this money.
Recently, Muyang has been busy integrating into the role at work, so he hasn't paid too much attention to the things of the mission time and space, but occasionally he will enter the mission time and space, go around the place, hoping to receive the task, but he has never released the second mission of this world, which makes Mu Yang a little suspicious, is the task of this world completed, but why didn't he receive a system prompt.
Muyang entered the mission time and space again today, and woke up in a hotel in San Marino, but received an unexpected phone call and heard bad news. (To be continued.) )
