At four o'clock in the morning, the sky in New York is still gray, but the sea and sky are already starting to turn a little white, and in about 40 minutes to an hour, the sun will rise above the sea level, and the people living in the city will have a new and busy day.

Lu Li, who came out of the strip club, glanced at the drunkard and homeless man who fell on the side of the road, and then saw the red lip prints on his face, neck and chest through the glass window, and couldn't help but recall the restricted scene in the champagne room just now, shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "I didn't expect me to fall too......

Because of the fact that there have been too many and too sudden things in the recent period, a lot of pressure has accumulated in his heart, so he consciously indulges himself.

Although nothing really happened with the dancers in the end, some of the "mini-games" were not much less exciting than naked hand-to-hand combat, as can be seen from the lip prints scattered all over the sensitive areas.

Just as Lu Li was about to return to the apartment to take a shower and sleep, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting at him, "Hey, sir, wait." ”

He subconsciously turned around in pain, and found that it was the Asian female college student named Sarah who was waving at him, and immediately stopped and greeted with a smile: "Good morning, beauty, is there anything you need help with?"

"No, nothing, I happened to be off work and saw that you also seemed to be walking in the direction of Carmel's apartment, so wanted to ask if we were on our way. Sarah explained with a playful wink.

Because she washed off the heavy makeup on her face and changed into a decent casual dress, she was not as glamorous as before, but showed a trace of pure temperament.

I'm afraid it's hard for ordinary people to believe that such a cute girl in her early twenties would be a dancer working in a strip club.

"That's right, I also live in that apartment, do you want to be together?" Lu Li politely invited.

Sarah nodded happily, "Of course! it's always good to have a man to keep you company." Although the security in the surrounding streets is not bad, from the second half of the night to the early hours of the morning, there are occasional armed robbers. Especially the dancers who get off work late are their key targets. My colleague was robbed by a black man last month, and not only did he lose his money, but he was also pressed to the trash can and ravaged for half an hour, which was a nightmare. ”

"Is there still such a situation?, have you called the police?" Lu Li asked casually.

"Call the police, hah! You must have only been in New York for a short time, right?"

At the mention of the police, Sarah's eyes were filled with contempt and mockery.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly: "Almost, I've been here a few times before, and the time is not too long, and I usually leave after a few days." Why, are the New York police very poor?"

Sarah sneered and responded, "If you stay in this place for a while, I'm sure you'll soon be shocked by the level of corruption in the New York police department."

To put it simply, they will only behave like a policeman when they are in a rich neighborhood, and once they enter a poor neighborhood, they are basically no different from gangsters.

Beating, shooting, accepting bribes, and forcing street women to serve them for free are almost nothing they dare not do, and many of them are connected to gangs.

According to the FBI report, the New York police have been the hardest hit by embezzlement, corruption, and money laundering.

If my colleague called the police, the only thing the police would do would be to take her to the hospital for a full check-up and then give her a medical bill worth tens of thousands of dollars.

What's more, she is still an illegal immigrant, and she doesn't dare to deal with the police at all, so she can only consider herself unlucky. ”

"Well, it seems that I shouldn't have any hope for the American police......" Lu Li complained as the corners of his mouth twitched.

But it's no wonder, after all, the main income of the American police comes from real estate taxes, so high-end residential areas are their food and clothing parents, so they naturally have to serve well and show their most civilized side.

But the poor neighborhood is just the opposite, not only does it not have much tax revenue, but every time you enter, you have to risk being shot at the bottom of the gun, and the law enforcement attitude will inevitably become rough.

In fact, more than 80 percent of the police shootings and killings in the United States occur in poor residential areas, and the poor basically cannot afford to hire a good lawyer to fight a lawsuit, so even if they do something illegal, they don't have to worry too much about going to court.

"Are you a newcomer?" asked Sarah, curious.

"Well, I only came to the United States a few months ago, but not in New York, but in Miami. Lu Li replied as he walked down the narrow alley.

"Then I guess you must be from Chinese mainland, right?" Sarah suddenly changed her English to Mandarin.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked rhetorically in Mandarin as well, "Yes, how do you see that?"

"It's temperament!" replied Sarah, curling the corners of her mouth as if she were smiling.

"Temperament, what temperament, why can't I feel it?" Lu Li felt a little inexplicable.

It was the first time he had heard someone evaluate his temperament since he was a child......

"Of course you can't feel it, but in the eyes of a third-generation Chinese immigrant like me, it's quite obvious. To put it in one word, it's self-confidence. Sha stretched out a finger and commented.

Lu Li touched his chin thoughtfully: "Really, I don't feel anything." By the way, you just said that you are a third-generation immigrant?"

"That's right, my grandfather immigrated from Hong Kong to settle in the United States in the 60s, and by the time I was the third generation. Speaking of which, we are still compatriots. To reacquaint myself, my Chinese name is Zhang Ling, a student majoring in finance at New York University. As she spoke, the girl who called herself Zhang Ling stretched out her right hand.

"My name is Lu Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. Lu Li hurriedly reported his name as well.

Anyway, it's always a pleasure to talk in your native language in a foreign country.

After a simple handshake, both of them felt that the distance between them had narrowed a lot, and they began to chat without a word.

Zhang Ling, who had a cheerful personality, was the first to speak and laugh at herself: "I believe you must be very strange, why do I work in a place like a strip club, right?"

"Is it to earn tuition?" Lu Li guessed casually.

"It's tuition and living expenses. Housing prices and prices in New York are so expensive that the meager salary and tips of a waitress alone are not enough to last until graduation. And I didn't want my parents to be burdened with heavy debts for me to go to college, so I followed the introduction of my classmates and came to this strip club as a dancer. Don't get me wrong, I only dance, I don't do those special services. Of course, all this must be hidden from the family, otherwise if the parents and grandfather find out, they will definitely be angry and have a heart attack......"
