At this moment, Wu Zhengfu smelled the complex stench emanating from the trash can, and he felt extremely depressed.
He never dreamed that after arriving in the United States, not only did he not see the dream of flying freely as he had expected, but he would be targeted and tracked by American gangsters as soon as he got off the plane.
Don’t they all say that the United States is a paradise and pure land, don’t they all talk about the American dream? Why is it so painful and unbearable for me? Is it true that I have tried so hard to escape to the United States like what Li Tianyi said in the video?
Do I live in fear every day like those corrupt officials who fled abroad? Do I really want to be the fat in the eyes of those American gangsters?
Why, I, Wu Zhengfu, fled to the United States to enjoy my life. I am rich, I have tens of millions, and I should live a comfortable, luxurious life.
Wu Zhengfu suffered until two o'clock in the morning. Then he climbed out of the trash can and shook off the garbage on his body. However, his whole body was already filthy.
And the briefcase he carried with him was always held tightly in his arms, so it was not contaminated by garbage.
He quickly took off his coat and threw it directly into the trash can. Carrying the briefcase in his hand, he wandered in the bright night light of Washington. He wanted to see if there were any stores that were still open and buy a set of clothes.
But at this moment, the roar of a motorcycle came from far and near, coming from behind him. The driver of the car was a white man, and a black man was sitting behind the white man. Both of them were wearing sunglasses.
Just as their car was speeding past Hu Zhengfu, the black man behind him reached out and grabbed the briefcase in Wu Zhengfu's hand, and the motorcycle accelerated and disappeared into the vast night.
Wu Zhengfu was dumbfounded.
The passport and some cash and other items he applied for using the second ID card obtained through the relationship were all placed in the briefcase, including bank cards.
Wu Zhengfu's reaction was not slow. After discovering that his briefcase had been robbed, he immediately shouted loudly and chased him forward desperately. After the opponent drove forward for a while, he suddenly stopped and waited until Wu Zhengfu caught up with him out of breath.
, the black man behind him suddenly took out a shining dagger from his arms and made several gestures at Wu Zhengfu.
Wu Zhengfu was so frightened that he quickly backed away.
The black man glanced at Wu Zhengfu with disdain, put the dagger back into his waist, Bai Yun stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle roared forward.
Wu Zhengfu collapsed on the side of the road, looking at the disappeared motorcycle and the two foreigners on the car, with a look of despair on his face.
Without his passport, ID card, and cash, he has now become a gangster with no personnel.
If ordinary people lose their passports and ID cards abroad, they can go to the Chinese embassy to get new documents, but Wu Zhengfu is a corrupt official who has fled the country, so he does not dare to go.
what to do?
For a moment, Wu Zhengfu lay on the cold streets of Washington, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness about the future.
At this moment, he remembered his mobile phone, reached out to touch it, and found that it was still there. He quickly took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to his wife and ask her to pick him up.
But at this moment, a drunk man with a bottle of wine in his hand walked past him. When he saw that he was holding a mobile phone, without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed it and staggered forward.
When Wu Zhengfu saw this, his face turned livid with anger. He roared and rushed to the drunk man's side, intending to snatch his cell phone.
However, Wu Zhengfu was a whole head shorter than his opponent, and the drunk man was strong and seemed to have practiced boxing. Although he was very drunk, when he saw Wu Zhengfu rushing towards him, he subconsciously thought that he was a
The uppercut hit Wu Zhengfu's chin. At that moment, Wu Zhengfu felt a heartbreaking pain, his vision went dark, and his body fell limply to the ground.
When he woke up in a daze, it was already raining heavily in the sky. He was woken up by the cold rain.
At this moment, Wu Zhengfu was thinly dressed and penniless. Even his only communication tool, his mobile phone, had been taken away by the drunkard.
The nights in Washington are bleak.
Wu Zhengfu had nothing left, so in order to avoid the rain, he could only find a place to sit in front of a shop for a while.
But at this moment, a white homeless man with a large piece of cardboard covering his head rushed over in a hurry. He was also carrying a big bag in his hand. He saw the dirty Wu Zhengfu planning to sit in this house.
Taking shelter from the rain in front of the shop, he immediately shouted angrily in English: "getoutofhere.thisismyplot."
Although Wu Zhengfu couldn't understand what the other party said, when he saw the angry expression on the other party's face and the gesture telling him to get out, Wu Zhengfu vaguely understood something.
He pointed to the drizzle falling outside with a gesture, and then pointed to this place, making a squatting posture. She wanted to tell the foreigner that I just wanted to sit here for a while to avoid the rain.
The white homeless man seemed to understand what Wu Zhengfu meant, but he shook his head firmly and at the same time took out a large piece of cardboard and a blanket wrapped in a plastic bag from the bag he was carrying.
After placing the cardboard on the ground, he took out a dirty pillow from the bag and placed it underneath, covered himself with a blanket, and lay down gently.
Then he pointed his hand outside and shouted again: "getthehelloutofhererightnow.i'mtheonlyownerhere.."
Listening to the white homeless man speaking English that he didn't understand at all, Wu Zhengfu smiled sadly, walked away from this relatively large shelter from the wind and rain, and walked forward in the drizzle.
The night wind was desolate, blowing the continuous drizzle, blowing Wu Zhengfu's heart full of vicissitudes of life.
Looking at the bright neon lights of Washington and the row upon row of tall buildings, Wu Zhengfu suddenly had a dreamlike feeling at this moment. This place seemed like a fairyland on earth, but in this fairyland on earth, he couldn't even get along.
Worse than the beggars in the paradise on earth.
If he were in China, if he were in Taozhou City, at this moment he would definitely be the master of all things. In the most luxurious entertainment club in Taozhou City, he could lie on the leather sofa worth hundreds of thousands, with his arms around Seventeen and Eighteen
A 20-year-old girl listened to music from all over the world played on a stereo worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, ate delicacies from all over the world, and drank 1982 Lafite.
As long as you say a few words casually, you can hear a chorus of echoing voices.
In Taozhou City, Wu Zhengfu lived like an emperor. But at this moment, in the drizzle, in a foreign country, Wu Zhengfu felt what it meant to be alone and lonely, and what it meant to be surrounded on all sides.
Wu Zhengfu was walking on the streets of Washington. There was no romance or sentiment, only a broken and homeless heart.
At around three o'clock in the morning, after being expelled by homeless people again and again, he finally found a place where he could take shelter from the wind and rain. He just leaned on the cold ground in front of the shop and fell asleep in a daze.
go.
At six o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhengfu was woken up by someone shaking him. The person pointed to the street outside and said with a cold expression: "please get out of here., we're opening up..."
Wu Zhengfu saw a series of Chinese characters hanging in front of the store, and then saw that the person shaking him was a person with an Asian face. He asked: "Are you Chinese?"
When the other party heard his question, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am from Jiangnan, China."
At this moment, after a series of struggles, Wu Zhengfu felt weak and weak all over. He touched his forehead and it was very hot. He must have had a fever.
He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Can you give me a bite to eat? I haven't eaten anything for a day and a night, and I still have a fever."
At this time, the shop owner's wife came out of the shop, glanced at Wu Zhengfu, and suddenly said with some shock: "Is your name Wu Zhengfu? You look like that guy who is very popular in the Chinese circle in Washington.
The Wu Zhengfu in the video really looks like him?"
When he heard that the shopkeeper's wife recognized him, the hunger in Wu Zhengfu's heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of panic. He quickly stood up and ran out staggeringly.
At this moment, Wu Zhengfu really experienced the intense uneasiness and pain in the heart of a corrupt official who had fled.
Because of the red notice, he was always worried about being recognized and arrested.
Now, even if he has a fever, even if he is hungry, even if he meets a fellow from China, when his wife recognizes his identity, he can only run away.
But as soon as he ran a dozen steps, he felt faint and fell to the ground.
The shop owner's wife said: "This man is really Wu Zhengfu. I didn't expect that he really came to the United States."
The shop owner said: "If he is really Wu Zhengfu, he can be regarded as one of our fellow villagers. He seems to be sick and hungry. Let's help him. As for what he chooses, that is his business."
, we can just call the embassy and inform them then."
The shop owner’s wife nodded: “Yes, the video shot by our Jiangnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Li Tianyi was so touching. Every word he said was full of sincerity, especially the last video. I cried while watching it.
, Husband, let’s go back to our hometown after a while. Our parents are not young anymore. Although we can make money in Washington, we can’t live without support for our parents at home.”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, I agree."
Wu Zhengfu was carried into the store by the shop owner and his wife, and the door was closed. They found him some fever-reducing medicine and called the embassy.
People from the embassy rushed over quickly. At this moment, Wu Zhengfu was lying on the bed, drinking the porridge cooked for him by the shop owner and his wife.
When Wu Zhengfu saw the embassy staff showing their identity documents, his face showed a hint of bitterness, and he looked at the embassy staff and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I am willing to return to China and face legal justice."
Although the colorful world abroad is good, it is not as good as the plants and trees in my hometown. After tonight's tossing, I finally understand that the moon is the brightness of my hometown."
Two days later, Wu Zhengfu was escorted by embassy staff and boarded a plane back to Jiangnan Province.
In Taozhou City, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yao Jianguo suddenly received a phone call. When he heard what the other party said, he turned pale with fright and said in a trembling voice: "What, Wu Zhengfu is back from the United States? Hasn't he already escaped?
?Why do you want to come back? Isn’t he seeking death?”
