No one forced Liu Handong, after all, it was just a little girl's whim. Professor Lindbergh even explained to his assistant: "Leon really can't act in movies. His personality is introverted and low-key, and he lacks the strong performance required by an actor. **
Miss Bella, please don't make things difficult for him."
We are all well-educated people. Since the person concerned is not interested, we will not say anything. Liu Handong took off his military uniform, put on his own dress, and put on his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses. He changed from a mighty Beiyang general to a dull brother.
The assistant of the institute went downstairs together. Lindbergh praised his assistant for being proficient in Chinese history, and lamented that to study modern history, we still have to rely on Taiwanese. Liu Handong laughed and said nothing.
Ms. Chen Jiao is already over seventy years old and looks like a lady in her fifties. She has been to Taiwan many times, so she talked with Liu Handong about Taiwan's customs and customs. However, Liu Handong was a fake Taiwanese and could not deal with it.
He had no choice but to hum and deal with it, which confirmed his unsociable character and lack of desire to perform.
However, if actors are not good enough, screenwriters can always make a cameo. Originally, Chen Jiao invited Professor Lindbergh to serve as the film's historical consultant, and Li Ang was the professor's assistant, so naturally he had to take the lead.
The Chen family is a prominent New York family, truly upper class. Unlike the Chinese in Chinatown who speak Chaoshan dialect and open laundries and Chinese restaurants, they have fully integrated into American society and become international Chinese. Liu Handong has long heard of Chen Zikun's work in
Descendants of the United States can't help but sigh after a brief contact with us. They are already people from two completely different worlds from us.
Before the party was over, Liu Handong made an excuse to leave. It was getting dark outside and it was going to rain. He walked quickly along the sidewalk and heard the rapid footsteps behind him. It was Lucy chasing him.
"I guess you don't like that kind of situation, and I don't like it either." Lucy caught up with Liu Handong and walked side by side with him. They had nothing to say along the way. Liu Handong knew that Lucy had a crush on him. This girl from New Jersey
Cheerful and generous, strong and open-minded, but I don't want to act on occasion and hurt other people's feelings.
It was raining, and the icy rain in New York was extremely cold. Both of them were wearing rented dresses, so they had to hide in a small supermarket on the roadside to take shelter from the rain.
On a cold rainy evening, a melancholy blues song came from the radio at the checkout counter, which made people feel extremely depressed.
"Hey, Li Ang, why are you always so deep? It doesn't suit your age." Lucy said, Liu Handong's age on his passport is twenty-six years old, but in fact he is thirty-two years old and has experienced countless hardships.
Inconsistent with frustration, nature and so-called actual age.
"Nothing." Liu Handong said. He looked at the rain outside and thought of his hometown.
…
It was also raining in Omi, with the same continuous autumn rain. Ma Ling had been pushed into the delivery room of the Municipal Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital for six hours. She was rushed to the hospital by her neighbors only after her water broke. Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan quickly heard about it
Came here, paid the fee, and waited for the birth of my grandson.
He Jian and Shui Qin also came. After receiving the news, they dropped what they were doing and rushed to the train station. They took the nearest train and rushed there. It was raining and dark, and there were no taxis available, so they took the risk.
The one who walked through the rain had mud on his feet, water all over his body, and was anxious.
The doctor left the delivery room, dropped his mask and said, "Where are the family members?"
The four people immediately came forward to meet him, their faces full of panic.
"The situation is more complicated. The umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck and the position is wrong. Should we keep it big or small?"
"Keep it safe, keep it safe!" the four of them said in unison.
Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan really wanted to protect their daughter, but He Jian and Shui Qin just didn't mean what they said. They longed to keep their son's flesh and blood, but they couldn't go against their conscience because they had to sacrifice the daughter of the old Ma family for their own needs, so they also wanted to protect their daughter.
.
The doctor didn't say anything, but took out the surgical risk liability form for them to sign. Ma Guoqing signed with trembling hands, and the doctor went back.
The operation was continuing, and the four people outside were living like a year, and every second was suffering.
Shuiqin began to cry, for the sake of her miserable son, wife, and unborn grandson. Although she had been unwilling to admit it, she knew in her heart that her son would probably never come back. Now even her grandson's life was hanging by a thread.
What on earth could he have done to cause so much misfortune?
He Jian patted Shui Qin on the shoulder and told her not to affect other people's emotions. Ever since Liu Handong disappeared, Ma Guoqing and his wife had had strong opinions on the old Liu family and spread their dissatisfaction with their daughter on them. At this moment,
Nor can it intensify conflicts.
Shui Qin nodded and walked to the balcony holding back her sadness. Suddenly the door of the delivery room opened and the doctor called to Ma Guoqing: "Master, come here."
Ma Guoqing was so frightened that he walked over and did not dare to speak.
The doctor said: "Maternal bleeding may be life-threatening."
Ma Guoqing said: "Please save my daughter. If I don't have any blood, I can donate it. Use my blood."
The doctor said: "Blood from immediate family members cannot be used, and there is no shortage of blood in the blood bank. I just want to inform you to be mentally prepared." After saying that, he went back.
Ma Guoqing sat down on the chair, with tears in his eyes, and kept muttering: "What a sin, what a sin."
Wang Yulan also beat her chest and said: "I told her to abort her a long time ago. Abort her, but she just won't listen. This child is a debt collector. I don't want to do this!"
He Jian and Shui Qin couldn't persuade them, and they couldn't say anything. They could only stay far away and timidly wait for the bad news to come.
Another hour later, the midwife came out, and everyone's hearts were in suspense, like a death row prisoner waiting for the final verdict.
The midwife shouted expressionlessly: "It's a boy from the Ma Ling family, eight pounds and eight ounces."
Ma Guoqing was the first to react and rushed over to ask, "How is my daughter?"
"The mother is still in a critical period, but the problem is not serious." The midwife said, "The newborn is in the intensive care unit and cannot see her family for the time being."
Ma Guoqing cried with joy. For such a grown man, his face actually burst into tears.
Wang Yulan also wiped away tears: "My daughter, my life is miserable."
He Jian and Shui Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. They would rather not have a grandson than watch Ma Ling die in childbirth. Fortunately, God bless the mother and child.
It's just that one person is missing in front of me. It would be nice if the child's father was here.
…
In New York, there is a small 7-11 supermarket near Central Park. The rain is still falling and has no intention of stopping. There are only a few customers in the supermarket, and Liu Handong and Lucy are among them.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, and two black customers came in with metal chains hanging around their necks and wearing hip-hop style clothes. They pulled out guns as soon as they entered the door. One held a silver chrome-plated M9 and forced the cashier to use it. The other used a saw to cut off the cashier.
The butt of the shotgun threatened the customers in the store, shouting: "Everyone, take out your wallets!"
The cashier opened the cash register tremblingly and took out the banknotes. The customers took out their wallets one after another under the threat of shotguns.
Liu Handong was tall and the most threatening person. In order to show off his authority, the robber, who was fierce and soft-hearted, smashed the barrel of his gun into his stomach. He bent down with a painful expression. In fact, he was resisting the urge to take action. Doing so would definitely cause trouble. There were people in the store.
Monitor, he doesn't want to cause trouble.
The black robber was actually very nervous. After grabbing the money, he was about to escape. Suddenly, the boy with the shotgun saw the orange-circled Omega on Liu Handong's wrist. His eyes lit up and he ordered him to take off his watch.
Liu Handong remained motionless and stared into the robber's eyes.
The robber was furious and hit him on the eyebrow with the butt of his gun, causing blood to flow all over his face.
Lucy was frightened, fearing that Liu Handong would suffer a big loss if he didn't know what he was doing. Most of these black robbers were drug addicts and they killed without blinking an eye. It would not be easy to offend them.
Liu Handong was very sensible and obediently took off his watch and handed it over. The robber succeeded and left quickly.
The store clerk called the police, and the NYPD police car quickly arrived at the scene and registered the victim. Liu Handong was also carried into the ambulance and taken to the hospital for bandaging. Lucy accompanied him throughout the process.
This kind of robbery is a common and small case in New York, just like stolen bicycles in China. There is no high detection rate, so you can only consider yourself unlucky.
In the evening, Liu Handong returned to his rented apartment and was silent for a long time in front of himself in the mirror. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lucy, asking her to ask for leave on his behalf and not go to work at the institute tomorrow.
Lucy called immediately and asked with concern: "Poor, do you want me to accompany you?"
Liu Handong declined politely: "I want to be alone."
Lucy said very understandingly: "Most people have never experienced a robbery. I have been in New York for so long and this is my first time being robbed. It's okay to be afraid. It's a normal reaction. You can rest and see you the day after tomorrow."
Liu Handong hung up the phone and began to think about tomorrow's plan. He knew that black people in New York generally did not commit crimes across districts. The robbers should be one of several black gangs entrenched in Central Park. They were either great people or ordinary gangsters.
Central Park is a 340-hectare rectangular green space in the center of Manhattan. It has 9,000 benches and 6,000 trees. It is a good place for New Yorkers to entertain and relax. However, no one dares to go to Central Park at night. It is a hotbed of crime. Black people
and a paradise for homeless people.
The next day, Liu Handong put on a pullover and sweatpants and rode a fixedgea bicycle around Central Park for a whole day. The images of the two thieves were firmly etched in his mind, but he wanted to find these two thieves in Central Park.
Personally, it's similar to finding a needle in a haystack.
Liu Handong had a solution. He didn't know the two thieves, but the black people definitely knew each other.
As evening came, Central Park closed at 4:30 p.m., but there were still a large number of people stranded in the park. Liu Handong lurked among the trees, pulled on his mask, put on another outfit, and walked towards a group of bored gangsters.
When the black people discovered the stranger, they were as excited as a child who found a new toy, and gathered around him eagerly.
"Hey man, are you here to have fun?" a black man shouted.
Liu Handong remained silent and casually pulled out his stick and shook it away. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the black men also took out their sticks, chains, razors, and daggers, filled with murderous intent.
Three minutes later, the nigger broke his leg and tendons and lay on the ground, wailing repeatedly. Liu Handong grabbed the leader and asked: "At this time yesterday, two niggas robbed a 7-11 on 78th Street. I
