Cheng Hao went to the lounge for the boxers to rest as usual.
In the waiting room, there were several boxers he knew and some boxers he didn't know.
When I came last time, Cheng Hao and Carpenter had a good exchange, and I wanted to find Carpenter this time, but Carpenter was not there, and Gerald and Daisy were not there either.
Cheng Hao didn't know the others well, so he just listened to them chatting. As a result, he just listened for a while, and the boxer who was an insurance salesman that Carpenter specially introduced to him last time came over to chat with him.
This boxer named Nick is very eloquent. He chatted with Cheng Hao, cared about Cheng Hao's life, and then began to sell insurance to Cheng Hao: "People like us, whether it is medical insurance or accident insurance, are It is necessary! Only in this way can we have no worries and our family can have a guarantee... "
He talked at length.
Cheng Hao felt that what he said was very reasonable. He always felt that if he was not short of money, he should spend money to buy some insurance. He had bought a lot of insurance in his previous life.
But he has no money now.
His own money was spent, and all of Lin Yuxun's belongings were left with more than a hundred points... This amount is not enough to buy insurance at all.
Since he couldn't afford it, Cheng Hao didn't want to hear it anymore. He tried to change the subject: "Why didn't you see Daisy and Gerald today?"
"Dace was injured last time, and it must be some days before he comes. As for Gerald... don't you know? He died."
When Nick spoke, he looked very calm, but Cheng Hao was stunned: "Dead?"
Nick said: "Yes, he is dead. He borrowed a lot of money from Black, but he couldn't pay it back. His health is still so bad. It would be a waste of travel expenses to sell him to the black coal mine... Black was very angry, so he let Someone broke his leg, and as a result he had a drug addiction and then hacked himself to death."
The boxers on Old George's side all knew about Gerald. At this time, everyone said: "It's not surprising at all... I knew something would happen to him sooner or later."
"Cheng, the last time Gerald fought with you, he was able to fight for so long because he took medicine, otherwise he would never have been able to last for such a long time."
"Unlucky Gerald, but in a few years, I expect it will be the same."
"He should have shot himself down long ago."
…
When these boxers are chatting, their expressions are relaxed.
Gerald was dead, and none of them really took it seriously.
Cheng Hao was a little absent-minded.
He had little contact with these boxers before, he only knew that Gerald was the weakest among them, but he didn't know Gerald's situation.
Although Gerald had come to this point through his own fault, the sudden death of his opponent not long ago still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
What's more, the people here didn't find it strange that Gerald's leg was broken, and they didn't think that the murderer should be punished at all.
Thinking of the gunshots he would occasionally hear these days, and the people with guns he would occasionally see on the road, Cheng Hao became more determined about one thing—he wanted to take Lin Yuxun and Danny out of here as soon as possible.
Children should not live in such an environment.
When Cheng Hao thought so, Old George came over and discussed with the boxers present the arrangements for the next match.
Cheng Hao's opponent this time is the policeman Cyrus who fought against the insurance salesman Nick last week.
Cyrus was also black, and unlike Nick, he was silent.
The job of the police is enough for him to live well, and he comes here to box, and he doesn't know if it's a hobby or for other reasons.
When Cheng Hao stood on the stage again, his mood was different from before.
He suddenly found out about Gerald's death today, and his mood was a bit complicated.
Although after standing in the arena, he got rid of those emotions that shouldn't be there, but he still accepted the influence to some extent. Probably because his condition is not good, he still can't enter that state of detachment.
When the whistle sounded, Cheng Hao fought back and forth with others on the ring.
Cyrus is an amateur player, but he is very cautious and has a strong body, but Cheng Hao... Cheng Hao has rich skills, but his body is too thin.
The two sides fought evenly in the arena.
At this time, Lin Yuxun had found Old George's bar.
The address was given to him by Chester.
Those who Chester admired and ruled the wind and rain in this community all liked to come to Old George's bar to kill time, so Chester and the others wanted to enter the bar so much.
They even hang out around the bar often... If it weren't for this, Cheng Hao wouldn't bump into them when he came out of the bar on Tuesday.
Lin Yu found the door of the bar and wanted to go in, but was stopped by someone: "Boy, we don't let minors in here!"
In most states of the United States, a driver's license can be tested at the age of sixteen, and even marriage is allowed in some states, but drinking underage has always been discouraged.
Of course, it’s not because of such regulations that minors are not allowed in Old George’s bar, and no one here cares about these regulations... The bar doesn’t allow people to go in casually, mainly because they are afraid that those children will go in and cause trouble.
It was not uncommon for teenage kids in poor neighborhoods to rush into shops, grab things and leave, and if Old George's pub let people in casually, there would probably be chaos inside.
The person who blocked him looked fierce, and Lin Yuxun felt scared from the bottom of his heart.
Before doing it, he would definitely leave in despair.
But now, Cheng Hao is inside.
Thinking of Cheng Hao, Lin Yuxun has endless courage.
And Cheng Hao said that people can't shrink back when they encounter things, they have to face them bravely.
He believed everything Cheng Hao said.
Lin Yuxun plucked up his courage and said, "My brother is inside, I'm here to look for him, can't I go in?"
"Your brother? Are you Cheng's younger brother?" the guard asked.
"Yes, my brother's name is Cheng Hao." Lin Yuxun said.
The guard said: "You go in, but you have to be careful not to offend those guests."
Lin Yuxun was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he would be let through so easily... Obviously Chester said that he couldn't get in no matter what.
But he didn't know that for a bar, a gangster like Chester needed to be stopped, but he was so harmless, it didn't matter if he was let in.
The guard also said: "Your brother is very powerful!"
"Thank you." Lin Yuxun thanked him and was about to go in when a black man stopped him: "Are you Cheng's younger brother? I'll take you in."
Lin Yuxun looked at the man: "Then I will trouble you!"
The black man who appeared later was none other than Carpenter.
Carpenter's source of income basically depends on boxing, so he not only fights here at Old George, but also goes to other places to fight.
He just came back from somewhere else today.
Originally, he planned to rest at home, but when he thought of Cheng Hao, he came here.
"Your brother is a great boxer." Carpenter said to Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun likes to hear others praise Cheng Hao, but such praise is not what he wants.
He was silent and didn't speak, and soon, he saw the ring surrounded by the audience, and he also saw Cheng Hao on the ring.
Both Cheng Hao and the other boxer were wearing only shorts, they were wearing gloves, and you fought with each other.
Lin Yuxun's heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Hao on the ring looks very attractive, and he is also very worried...
"Carpenter, are you here?" Insurance salesman Nick came to greet Carpenter.
"Yeah." Carpenter responded.
And you, Nick, noticed Lin Yuxun at this time: "Oh, a yellow man... came to find Cheng?"
"He is Cheng's younger brother." Carpenter said.
Nick greeted Lin Yuxun: "Hello, Cheng's younger brother."
However, Lin Yuxun didn't respond to him, his eyes fell on the ring, except for the person on the ring, he couldn't hold anyone else in his eyes.
Cheng Hao received another punch!
Lin Yuxun clenched his hands tightly, his face turned pale.
Seeing Lin Yuxun's appearance, Nick shrugged his shoulders, stopped talking, and looked at Carpenter instead.
"Carpenter, who do you think will win today?" Nick asked.
Carpenter has already made a series of wrong predictions, so he doesn't want to talk now.
But Nick insisted: "Carpenter, tell me, who do you think will win?"
Nick insisted on asking, and Carpenter could only say, "I think Cyrus will win."
"Why?" Nick asked.
"Today, Cheng doesn't have the same vigor as last time."
"That's right... In fact, his performance is already very good, which surprised me." Nick said: "Cheng is really still a child. He looked shocked when he heard the news of Gerald's death. I thought he would Couldn't play because of fear."
Carpenter said: "So he's probably going to lose... He's kind of small after all."
While the two were talking, Cheng Hao was accidentally punched on the shoulder by Cyrus and fell down.
Cheng Hao's movements are flexible and he is very good at dodging, so Cyrus has never hit his vitals, but Cyrus has great strength, even if he misses his vitals, he can knock him down.
"Cheng Hao!" Lin Yuxun finally couldn't help shouting.
Cheng Hao did not enter a state of ecstasy this time, and the surrounding voices could naturally be heard.
When Lin Yuxun cried out, he heard this distinctive Chinese sentence even more in his ears.
After hearing this, Cheng Hao was a little confused.
Lin Yu found it
How did Lin Yuxun come
Cheng Hao turned over and got up from the ground, looked around, and saw Lin Yuxun standing beside Carpenter.
While he was in shock, a fist hit him... Cheng Hao dodged subconsciously, but he dodged the vital point, but was hit on the shoulder again, and he staggered for several steps before stopping.
At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly thought of something.
Lin Yuxun would definitely feel very uncomfortable seeing him being beaten, and he knew Lin Yuxun, and he would feel uneasy if he owed others. If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have kept Lin Yuxun's punching matter from him. .
Now Lin Yuxun knows...
Cheng Hao no longer had time to think about Gerald, he felt that he had to win.
Otherwise, Lin Yuxun would definitely not want to spend the money he got back.
In fact, against Cyrus, it's not that he can't win... Cyrus has a good body, but he shouldn't have fought many boxing matches, and his skills are slightly lacking.
He must win!
Cheng Hao rushed towards Cyrus.
Sellers succeeded one after another, and he already felt that he would definitely win. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cheng Hao suddenly made a move, and he was very vicious...
The game was extraordinarily exciting, with countless people cheering around.
Cheng Hao was at a disadvantage at first, but the plot of the Jedi's counterattack later became the audience's favorite.
They shouted with excitement.
When Cyrus was knocked to the ground by Cheng Hao, the cheers seemed to overturn the roof of the bar! Of course, there are not only cheers in this voice, but also curses from those who lost their bets.
Carpenter, who once again failed to predict: "..."
Nick looked at Carpenter: "Carpenter, you're wrong again!"
Carpenter kind of wants to hit someone...
After Lin Yuxun yelled himself, which distracted Cheng Hao and got punched, no matter how worried he was, he didn't make a sound.
When Cheng Hao won, he was finally relieved, but his legs were already weak.
But he wasn't so soft on the ground.
Lin Yuxun gritted his teeth, walked forward, and waited at the place where Cheng Hao got off the ring.
Cheng Hao won. When he left the stage, many audience members came to greet him, and some people asked, "Cheng, do you want a burger?"
If it was in the past, Cheng Hao would definitely want a hamburger, but now... Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun with a guilty conscience.
However, he only felt guilty for a while, and he no longer felt this way.
He likes boxing, and only knows how to box. Lin Yuxun will know about his boxing sooner or later.
It's just that he originally planned to wait for him to be in better condition, to participate in a competition such as the "American Youth Boxing Competition" and win an award, and then talk to Lin Yuxun about it, but in the end... Lin Yuxun was caught before the match was over. Found.
But that's good, at least he can exercise at home in the future.
"Are you okay?" Lin Yuxun rushed towards Cheng Hao to check Cheng Hao's body.
"I'm fine." Cheng Hao said.
Lin Yuxun was not relieved, he checked Cheng Hao's body with a serious expression, the more he checked, the more distressed he felt.
Cheng Hao has bruises on his body.
Lin Yuxun's eyes were red.
Cheng Hao said: "Let's go to the lounge first."
Lin Yuxun nodded, followed Cheng Hao into the lounge.
Lin Yuxun had a lot to say in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.
When he helped Cheng Hao check his body just now, his hands were covered with sweat. Now, the sweat that originally belonged to Cheng Hao seemed to be burning his heart.
Entering the lounge, Lin Yuxun quickly found Cheng Hao's clothes and Cheng Hao's towel. He helped Cheng Hao wipe his sweat, and then took Cheng Hao's clothes for Cheng Hao to put on.
Cheng Hao said: "You don't have to do this, I'm fine."
Lin Yuxun said, "You are injured."
"It's just a minor injury, I'm fine at all." Cheng Hao said with a smile.
Hearing Cheng Hao's words, Lin Yuxun couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and they slipped from the corners of his eyes... He reached out and wiped the tears off his face: "From now on, don't punch me anymore, okay?"
Cheng Hao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "No."
Lin Yuxun asked, "Why?"
Cheng Hao wanted to say something casually to fool Lin Yuxun, but he also knew that sometimes deception can't solve the problem.
"Lin Yuxun, something happened to my family, so now I have no education, no place to live, no savings, and nothing. For a person like me, there are very few options for living a good life, and For me, boxing is a path that I like and can make me famous.” Cheng Hao said very seriously: “Boxing is the earliest professional sport, and it is also the earliest sport to make money. If you walk well on this road, you will be able to live well.”
"But… "
"I know what you're worried about. Boxing will hurt you, but isn't it dangerous for other professions?" Cheng Hao said: "We live in this community, surrounded by people with guns, sometimes more than me It’s even more dangerous to come out and punch.”
"If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't need to fight, you know a lot."
Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun calmly: "Even without you, I would still be able to box. What I know will not allow me to find a good job, and I don't want to live a low-level life in a poor community. A big house of your own, driving your own car, and buying whatever you want. Of course, I also hope that you can live well, go to school, and have a legitimate job."
"I don't have to read."
"If you don't study and find a good job, do you want me to support you for the rest of your life?" Cheng Hao asked.
In fact, Cheng Hao is not very interested in a luxurious life, and he doesn't mind raising Lin Yuxun and Danny for the rest of his life.
But if he really wanted to ignore Lin Yuxun and Danny's studies like this, he would only raise and abolish Lin Yuxun and Danny, and he didn't want to do this.
Lin Yuxun said: "Actually, you don't need to support us..."
Cheng Hao interrupted him: "I have no family anymore. I regard you as my family. You are so separated from me. Do you not want to be my family? Do you not want to be with me?"
Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao, and said without thinking, "I want to be with you!"
And at this time, Nick, who was so confused, finally couldn't help asking: "Cheng, what are you talking about?"
Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun talked in Chinese, and they couldn't understand it!
Cheng Hao looked at Nick: "We speak the language of our country... By the way, how much money can I make today?"
When Cheng Hao said that he had no family and was thinking about the little money he had earned hard from boxing, Cheng Yanqi got on the plane.
He is going to New York.
Because there is no direct flight, Cheng Yanqi has to transfer twice to get to New York this time, and it will take about two days.
This was already the fastest, but Cheng Yanqi still felt it was too slow.
He regretted so much at this time, regretted that he was only concerned about being sad, and even forgot about his child.
After Cheng Yanqi returned home, he found out that his son Cheng Jinhao was sent to the United States by his brother.
As soon as he found out about this, he felt unhappy. His son is too young, and he must have a bad life if he goes to the United States alone.
But he was already in the United States, so there was nothing he could do... Cheng Yanqi didn't quarrel with his brother, he just wanted to contact his son.
As a result, this connection, something went wrong.
He couldn't get in touch with his son.
Forget it, he contacted his friends in the United States and asked his friends to find his son, but he couldn't find his son at the school his brother said... His son never went to that school to report !
Where is his son
Cheng Yanqi has always respected his elder brother, but after discovering this incident, he was furious, and finally had a big fight with his elder brother.
His elder brother was also guilty, but at this point, the quarrel and guilt had no effect... They couldn't find Cheng Jinhao!
Cheng Yanqi realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately booked a ticket, planning to go to the United States to find someone in person.
