Vincent glanced at the number and nodded immediately.
It seems that this young man definitely has a deep memory of this number. A normal person would need to look at it twice to confirm it is a number of about ten digits, but he just glanced at it and already confirmed the number.
"That's the number."
After thorough confirmation, Cheng Yu said: "Vincent, I have someone helping me locate this number. If I find his location but cannot confirm his identity, can you..."
Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Vincent nodded one after another and said solemnly: "Finding this person is my greatest wish. Even if you don't make this request, I will do my best to find him, even if I know
, even if I find him, I can't do anything about him, but I must remember his appearance."
Cheng Yu actually knew the danger hidden in this matter, but he could only do this now.
This young man may help Cheng Yu save a lot of time. Otherwise, even if Xiao Nie locates Lawrence Bill's location, it will not be easy for Cheng Yu to confirm his identity among a group of people.
"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, we will go to your house."
Cheng Yu was making calculations while talking.
Before, he just wanted to give Vincent enough money so that he could take his mother to see a doctor, but now, if Cheng Yu really needs Vincent's help, it seems not safe enough.
After Cheng Yu found Li Dali, he would definitely try to take him away. Once Cheng Yu left, those people would easily follow the clues to find Vincent and his mother. When Cheng Yu left, the mother and son would definitely not
What a happy ending, after all, Lawrence Bill didn't kill them back then, just because he felt that the orphans and widowers were not a threat. That guy would never be afraid of a few more lives in his hands.
Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that he should probably find a way to move Vincent and his son to a safe place.
At least, send Vincent's mother to the United States first. The name is very simple, just to treat illnesses and perform surgeries. The medical level in the United States is obviously much higher than that in San Diego.
Of course, there is a better way. The one-and-done solution is for Cheng Yu to directly kill Lawrence Bill and put an end to his criminal group.
However, Cheng Yu is not Iron Man. Even if he is Iron Man, he may not have enough ability to do this.
Cheng Yu is just an ordinary second-generation rich man. Even with the blessing of various abilities that can be redeemed in the Shenhu system, he is definitely not someone who dares to kill people.
He ordered two more dishes and asked the waiter to pack them up. Vincent held them in his arms with some excitement and sat in Cheng Yu's rented car. From getting in to getting off, he hugged the food tightly.
Yes, I was afraid that the soup in the dish would spill out due to the bumps of the vehicle.
The place where Vincent lives, like many movies about South America, is a complete slum.
I don’t know why, but it seems that the slums in South America always have a special liking for hillside areas. The houses here are all built on the mountains. Each house is different in size, shape and color. Put together, it is like giving a piece of land.
The hillside was covered in all kinds of ugly patches.
The houses are almost completely connected together, one next to the other. Many houses have no walls at all, just a few broken boards made of polyethylene as the main raw material.
Many houses, even the roofs, are made of this type of material.
Rather than saying that this is a house, it is better to say that it is just some ruins that can barely protect against wind and rain.
Following Vincent up the steps, Cheng Yu gradually began to understand why these houses were built on the mountain, and they must be on the side facing away from the water.
This is probably to protect the house from wind and rain. In this position, the damage caused by wind and rain to the house will be minimal.
Most of the houses still had walls and roofs, but Vincent and Cheng Yu stood between the two houses.
Turning around, Vincent said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, the conditions at my home are so bad. I just wanted to tell you not to come, but I was afraid that you would worry about me not coming."
I asked you to come just to distract you. You should stand outside, the inside is broken and messy, and there is almost no place for you to step down..."
Cheng Yu gently rubbed the head of Vincent, who was actually still a child, and smiled as gently as possible and said: "It's okay, let's go in together, I also want to meet your mother."
Seeing Cheng Yu's persistence, Vincent had no other choice but to duck down and get into the low house between the two houses.
Rather than saying this is a house, it is better to say that this is simply a doghouse.
Cheng Yu didn't mean to look down on Vincent and his son at all. After all, their so-called home didn't even have its own walls.
On the left and right are the walls of other people's homes. They put some torn paper on the walls to prevent the exposed concrete from scratching their skin. Above their heads is the kind of polyethylene that Cheng Yu has seen along the way.
The main material is broken boards, and behind it is another wall piled up with some worn-out furniture, leaking air everywhere.
Lifting the relatively clean curtain on the door, Cheng Yu followed Vincent and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman who looked to be at least sixty years old lying on a dilapidated plank bed. She looked haggard, and all the pain in the world was locked between her brows. Even if she heard someone entering the room, she would not hear anything.
any reaction.
"Mom, I'm back and I brought you something to eat. Please get up and eat some."
Vincent rushed to the bedside, hugged tightly, and placed the still warm food on the head of his mother's bed.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, like a sloth, very slowly. Cheng Yu knew that this was because she was too weak to even open her eyelids.
Shaking his head, Cheng Yu thought to himself that with this look, it would be difficult even if he wanted to send her to the United States. Her current physical condition could not withstand the turbulence of a long-distance flight.
It seems that we still need to find a place for them in San Diego now, at least a location that can protect their safety.
The woman opened her eyes and saw Cheng Yu. She was surprised that there was someone other than her son in her home.
"Vincent, is this...?" Even though she was very weak, the woman still used very polite words, and her native language must be Spanish, but she switched to using Spanish because she discovered Cheng Yu's Asian face.
English, obviously not wanting Cheng Yu to misunderstand what she and Vincent were doing and trying to hide his communication.
"He is a kind-hearted person and a friend of one of Dad's former clients. He bought these meals for us. Mom, please eat some first."
The woman struggled and tried to sit up. Vincent quickly stuffed a worn pillow behind the woman, and then carefully supported his mother to sit up.
"Kind sir, thank you. Vincent, please ask the guest to sit down and pour some tea for the guest."
Vincent quickly turned around and searched for a long time before he found a suitable place. He put down the bench in his hand, found a cloth and wiped it again, and then said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, please sit down."
Cheng Yu smiled and rubbed Vincent's head again. He said to the woman: "Mrs. Benjamin, I take the liberty to disturb you. I originally wanted to ask Mr. Benjamin about something, but I didn't expect... I'm sorry, but okay
I met Vincent. Vincent is a very nice kid, and he handles things very decently. I know that he has been working hard to pay for your medical expenses and surgery expenses recently. If you allow me, I would like to give it to you.
I will pay for your surgery and medical expenses."
The woman waved her hands anxiously and coughed violently. Vincent rushed over and patted the woman's back gently, then gave her a glass of water and let her take a sip.
"How can this be done? Although the situation between our mother and son is very bad, but..." The woman tried her best to find her own dignity in front of Cheng Yu. After all, she was once the wife of a successful businessman.
Cheng Yu glanced at Vincent and said, "Madam, the meals Vincent packed back were carefully kept in his arms for fear of getting cold.
I think you might want to eat some first so as not to disappoint Vincent's filial piety.
As for what I want to help you, you don’t have to worry too much. In fact, this is not entirely an aid. My friend learned that I came to San Diego and asked me to find Mr. Benjamin. When he was here, Benjamin
My husband also helped him.
My friend has developed very well in these years. He learned about your family's situation and asked me to help you and Vincent. This is also his reward for Mr. Benjamin's help to him back then.
This is just a belated repayment, please accept it."
For the sake of the woman's self-esteem, Cheng Yu told a little lie. Vincent looked at her gratefully and at the same time very obediently placed the food in his mother's hands.
"Mrs. Benjamin, I need to make a call to find my friend in San Diego to see where I can help you recover. So, I need your medical certificate..."
The woman was embarrassed to speak, but Vincent quickly found a small notebook in a dilapidated cabinet. After opening it, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu opened his eyes and walked out of this room that could not be called a room. He found that the date on the medical certificate was more than a year ago. This showed that the woman had been diagnosed with the disease for a long time.
More than a year.
Presumably, she has never received any effective treatment for more than a year, and her ability to survive until now is entirely dependent on her personal recovery mechanism.
In fact, it is not a serious illness, otherwise it would not be possible. The cost of the surgery is only a few hundred dollars. Even a few hundred dollars is considered a considerable expense in a country like Chile.
Although Chile is a relatively wealthy country in South America, even in the United States and Germany, the differences between high- and low-income groups are quite obvious.
The average monthly income in Chile is more than 4,000 dollars, but for low-income people, especially families like Vincent, their monthly income of 2,000 dollars is considered quite good. And these
They need money to provide for their own food and drink. Vincent's mother's illness, even if she does not go to the hospital, always requires some cheap drugs to help maintain her condition.
They spent the whole year, not to mention saving hundreds of dollars for surgical treatment, and even if they wanted to eat a little better, they couldn't do it. The only thing they could do was to keep their clothes and shoes as clean as possible, so that
Maintain what's left of your dignity.
When he was at the University of Southern California, Cheng Yu had a classmate who was from Chile. He didn't have a very good relationship with Cheng Yu, but he could probably recommend some better local doctors. After all, he could do it.
That classmate is considered a wealthy class in San Diego. The wealthy class are familiar with doctors and lawyers.
The call was quickly connected, and since it was an unfamiliar San Diego number, the caller had no idea who the caller was.
"Hello, who is this?" Although he used honorifics, Morris did not use Spanish, and the call came from Santiago. He should have spoken in his native language. This has fully demonstrated that Mo
Rhys doesn't seem to be very friendly towards his own countrymen.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Hey, Morris, I'm Cheng Yu."
Morris was obviously stunned and said: "Cheng Yu? Why did you run to San Diego?"
"I have some business matters to deal with. I'm in your hometown now. I encountered something..."
Before Cheng Yu could finish his words, Morris suddenly remembered something and said in a fuss: "Hey, Cheng, you guy, you actually rejected Professor Rogers' doctoral student. Do you know that this has caused a stir here?"
There was an uproar, and everyone couldn't understand your behavior. Later we found out that you were actually the son of the richest man in China. We were classmates for three years, and it was so hard for you to hide it from me..."
Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly and said: "It's not that exaggerated. There is no such thing as the richest man. The family situation is indeed not bad. Let's talk about this when we have time. I may return to Los Angeles in a few days. Now, I need your help.
.”
"Hey, what are you talking about? We are classmates, so there's no way we can help. If you need anything, just ask and I can ask my family to help you make arrangements throughout the process."
"That's not necessary. That's it. I have a friend here. He passed away due to an accident. He left behind a child and a widow. He is living a very bad life now."
"Do you need me to help them find a job? This is very simple. People who can be your friends must have no problem with their academic qualifications."
"No, no, my friend's widow is sick, but I don't know any good doctors in San Diego. I want you to recommend a good doctor for me. Her health has been delayed for too long, and I don't want anything to go wrong again.
.”
"My father's personal health doctor has many connections in Santiago. Not only in Santiago, but in all of Chile, almost all good doctors are his friends. How about I tell him and let him contact you?"
"Thank you very much." Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Morris added: "Hey, Cheng, I remember what you said. When you return to Los Angeles, you must remember to find me!"
"Absolutely. If you are not in a hurry when you leave, I will also contact you and try to visit your home to say thank you."
"I told you that you don't need to be so polite, but my father is a really hospitable person. He will be very happy if he knows that my classmates are visiting him. I won't tell you more. I will contact my family for you.
health care practitioner."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu returned to the room and told Vincent: "I have a classmate who should be considered a good family in San Diego. He promised to help me contact the doctor, and the doctor will contact me soon."
"Mr. Cheng, thank you." Vincent lowered his head, full of gratitude.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry about money matters. After you recover, I hope to let Vincent go to the United States to study. I don't have much contact with him, but I found that he is
A very smart child, I think as long as he is given a suitable environment, he will definitely restore your family to its former glory."
When the woman heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She could rather bear the burden than ask for help, but when it came to her son, she still hoped that Vincent would develop well.
But she was still a little uneasy after all. She said: "But, sir, will this embarrass you? After all, you have seen our conditions..."
Cheng Yu interrupted her with a smile and said: "Help you treat your illness, this is a feedback from Mr. Benjamin's friend, but helping Vincent go to school is an investment. First of all, tuition fees and everything else, this
They all need to be returned, and secondly, after he graduates, he must work in my company for a period of time until I think he has repaid everything I helped him."
After hearing this, the woman suddenly felt a lot more calm. She nodded and said, "This is what it should be."
Cheng Yu smiled and looked at Vincent, but found that the young man did not have any excitement. On the contrary, he seemed unhappy.
"What's wrong, Vincent?"
Vincent opened his mouth and hesitated, but still said: "Mr. Cheng, I thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to go to the United States to study."
When the woman heard this, she became anxious and said quickly: "Vincent, don't talk nonsense, tell Mr. Cheng quickly, you are willing, you are willing..." As she said that, she kept coughing due to emotion.
Cheng Yu blinked and asked, "Vincent, can you tell me why you don't want to go to the United States?"
"My mother is at home. Even if she recovers, I can't leave her here alone. I have grown up and I have to take care of her."
The woman was so angry that she kept coughing, and she said angrily: "Vincent, I don't want your care, as long as you can... ahem... I..."
Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Madam, you don't have to be too anxious. Maybe I didn't speak clearly just now. Through your conversation and demeanor, I believe you should also be a well-educated person. Therefore, I will let you and Vincent
Let’s go to the United States together and provide you with a job opportunity. In this way, Vincent shouldn’t have any worries, and you can take care of Vincent’s life after work.”
After hearing this, the mother and son were both stunned, and then said in unison: "Really?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Just as he was talking, the phone rang, Cheng Yu said: "It should be the doctor calling, I'll go pick it up."
