Chapter 39 Helping Others
With a bang, the door of Karen's house was kicked open, and a man in trousers, a floral shirt, and a revolver in his hand walked in first, followed by several fierce men with weapons.
Faced with the people who suddenly broke into the house, Sheila and Karen, who were sitting on the sofa watching TV, hugged each other in fright.
"Shut up or I'll kill you." After the flower shirt finished speaking, she sat on the sofa and looked at Karen and Sheila, after the mother and daughter heard the man's words, they were frightened and covered their mouths, and several other people quickly searched the other rooms upstairs and downstairs, and after a while, the few people who did not gain returned to the living room and made a gesture to the flower shirt, indicating that no one was found.
"Where's Frank? Frank. Gallagher. Flower Shirt asked, pointing a revolver at the mother and daughter.
Seeing that they didn't mean to hurt themselves for the time being, Karen, who was a little calm, said: "We don't know where he is, he's a drunkard who often doesn't come back for a long time. ”
"Okay, then now I'll officially inform you that Frank took our two kilos of goods and disappeared, I'll give you three days to find him and send the goods back, after that time..."Flower Shirt pointed around with a pistol and Karen's mother and daughter, "All of you will disappear, of course, you can call the police, but that won't change anything, you will still disappear." Okay, let's go. ”
After saying that, the flower shirt took the others out of the house and drove away.
Sheila panicked and said, "Oh my God, what are we going to do? Damn Frank, he's just going to get us in trouble. ”
Karen hugged her mom and said, "Calm down, Mom." You stay at home, and I'll go to Frank's house and ask Fiona and Debbie to see if I can find him. ”
When Karen arrives at Frank's house, she finds Fiona and Ian and the others also flustered, as the gang had also come here to look for Frank and told them a deadline.
Everyone went with Karen to all the nearby bars and parks under the overpass and other places frequented by homeless people, but there was still no news of him, and Karen, who had been looking for him for a day, dragged her tired body back to her home.
Facing her crying mother, thinking that there was still a two-day deadline, Karen's heart came up with a person's name - Chen Chong.
But Karen was very hesitant in his heart, Chen Zhong didn't need to wade into this muddy water, he had already saved himself once, and he had nothing to repay him.
After another day of searching, a disappointed Karen looked at her mother, who had no choice but to summon up the courage to call Chen Chong.
"Is it heavy? I'm Karen, do you remember me? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm Alexis, wait a minute, Chen is taking a shower."
A few minutes later, Chen Chong's voice came, "Karen? How have you been at home lately? Is everything alright? ”
Karen's hand holding the phone kept straining, wondering whether she wanted to talk to him.
Looking at Sheila, Karen finally mustered up the courage to say, "Chen, I actually have something to ask you for." ”
"Oh, is there trouble? Say, I'll listen. ”
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and when he says the words asking for help, the words that follow are much smoother, "You remember Frank, it's my drunkard stepfather, he seems to have taken two kilograms of poison from someone else. Pin, now the gang came to him and said that if Frank didn't hand over the shipment within three days, he would make us all disappear. Frank's children and I have been looking for him for two days, but he seems to be missing, and there is only one day until the deadline, and I am afraid ......"
"Okay, I see, New York is about 1,200 kilometers from Chicago, I won't be there in a plane for long, you can wait for me at home." We'll talk more about it when I get there. ”
Karen said movingly: "Chen, thank you, thank you very much, I don't know what to say." ”
"Okay, I'll hang up first, don't worry, I'll be there soon."
Chen Zhong hung up the phone and saw Alexis staring at him, and his mouth pursed.
He kissed the little beauty on the lips, hugged her and said, "Karen may be in big trouble, I have to go." ”
Alexis hugged Chen Chong's arm and said coquettishly: "Then I'm going too, I'm going to follow you to watch out for Karen, I have long found out that she is looking at you wrong." ”
"Honey, I'm here to help, trust me, okay?"
After calming Alexis and asking for leave from the head of the forensic department, Chen Zhong rushed to the airport and boarded a plane to Chicago.
Karen's family gathered all of Frank's relatives, and everyone was discussing how to deal with it.
Ian's boyfriend Mitch suggested that everyone fight the gang with weapons, but his suggestion was rejected by everyone, and it was unrealistic for most of the people in the house to be women and children fighting with the gang.
Lip advises everyone to leave the place before the deadline, even if the gang burns down the house, but Fiona and Sheila strongly oppose it, they do not want to leave their home and start fleeing.
Just when everyone was arguing, Chen Chong came to Karen's house.
Seeing Chen Chong, Karen threw herself into his arms in surprise and hugged him tightly, "Chen, you are finally here, I miss you so much." ”
Sheila saw her daughter's excited expression and found that Karen's feelings for Chen Chong seemed to be more than grateful, and her little baby might have fallen in love with this man.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him and Karen, Chen Chong tried to take Karen's hand away, but she still hugged herself very hard, and Chen Chong reluctantly picked her up and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"How's it going? Still no news from Frank? ”
Hearing Chen Chong ask about serious things, Karen calmed down her emotions, sat up and said: "All my friends are helping, and I have searched all the places where Frank frequents nearby, but I still haven't found him, he seems to have disappeared out of thin air." ”
Chen Zhong said to everyone: "Since you can't find Frank, then you go to a friend's house for a few days first, and I will stay here for the night, and I will deal with them tomorrow morning." ”
Fiona and the others knew that Chen Chong was a forensic doctor, but they didn't understand why he was so confident, they grew up in the slums, and they deeply knew how fierce the gangsters engaged in drug trading were.
Only Karen completely believed in Chen Chong, and she also knew Chen Chong's ability, and after her persuasion, the others went to Veronica's house to hide first, and Chen Chong and Karen stayed here.
After everyone left, Karen said softly, "Dear Chen, are you hungry, I'll go make you some sandwiches, what flavor do you like?" Do you have to cut off the crust? ”
"Thank you, peanut butter is fine, no crust."
Seeing Chen Da eating the sandwich, Karen smiled and reached out to wipe the peanut butter stuck to the corner of his mouth, put his finger in his mouth and sucked it.
Karen's actions were a little too ambiguous, Chen Chong dodged back, but unexpectedly touched the knife and fork placed on the table, Karen said to Chen Chong: "You eat, I'll pick it up." ”
Karen, who went under the table to pick up knives and forks, moved, and Chen Zhong hurriedly said, "Karen, don't do this, I'm just here to help." ”
Karen stretched out a hand and brought the bottle full of peanut butter to the bottom of the table, and smiled coquettishly: "I know, but I'm hungry too, I want to eat peanut butter hot dogs, no, no, it's delicious......"
