Chapter 39 Employment

boom--

Faced with the brutality that is so close to our eyes.

Mrs. Connie turned her head away subconsciously, and tightened her fingers on her husband's sleeves. She closed her eyes and couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene that followed.

However, a few seconds later, Mrs. Connie opened her eyes, and the scene in front of her was very different from what she had imagined.

Someone was injured, but the injured person was not Li Ran as expected.

Instead, it was the black man who made the first move.

In the Chinese restaurant, Li Ran kept her legs raised.

On the wall, a black man holding a baseball bat was slowly sliding down the wall.

"Boy, you messed with the wrong person!"

Looking at their companion who was kicked off the wall by Li Ran, the remaining black men looked at each other silently. The leading black man then raised the baseball bat in his hand and hit him hard.

Click.

Li Ran flicked his calf and kicked off the oncoming wooden stick. Then he changed his stance and kicked the black man in front of him out of the Chinese restaurant. On the sidelines, witnessing Li Ran easily dispatching his accomplices with just a few clicks, another black man quickly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at him.

However, before he could pull the trigger.

Li Ran suddenly stepped on his feet, and the powerful force of the Vajra Leg left a shallow crack on the ground of the Chinese restaurant. In the next moment, he had rushed in front of the black man holding the gun, and kicked him sideways and knocked the gun out of his hand. The pistol was kicked into a ball of parts. With the scattered gun parts, Li Ran kept moving and kicked away the black man on the opposite side.

After dealing with several black people who rushed towards him, Li Ran slowly retracted his legs and turned to look at the only black person still standing in the Chinese restaurant.

The black man who survived looked down at his fallen accomplices, then looked up at Li Ran across from him. He decisively gave in and ran out of the Chinese restaurant while waving his hands: "Actually, I have nothing to do with them. Relationship, I’m just here to join in the fun, I didn’t really like these niggas from the beginning, man.”

"Who are you anyway? Where did you come from?"

After coming back to her senses, Mrs. Connie looked at the prospects in the Chinese restaurant and asked Li Ran.

"My name is A Xing, from the legendary Penglai."

[Legendary +5 from Connie]

[Legendary from Gith +5]

Sure enough, Chinese people are better able to understand the meaning of Penglai.

…

After being shocked, Ji Si, the male owner of the Chinese restaurant, seemed to have thought of something. He quickly opened the restaurant's cash register and took out a thick stack of bills and handed it to Li Ran.

"for you."

"What?"

Li Ran lowered his head, looked at the money delivered to his door, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"I know these people. They won't give up so easily. They will definitely call people to find you again, so take the money and leave Harlem quickly."

The male host Jisi did this not only out of concern for Li Ran, but also because he was worried that more people would come to trouble his Chinese restaurant. After all, the couple are just ordinary people. They opened the restaurant just to make a living, and they did not want to get involved in the fight between Li Ran and the gangsters.

This approach may be a bit selfish, but it is also helpless.

"I understand." The attitude of Ji Si, the male owner of the restaurant, was actually very clear. Li Ran had nothing to be angry about, because from another perspective, if he were an ordinary person facing such a situation, he would actually be very happy. You may choose this attitude of retreating from doing more than doing less.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person like Jisi who has no ability to resist and can only accept the situation.

Nodding, Li Ran pushed the banknotes in front of him: "I will leave, but I will not accept the money. If I accept the money, then what difference will there be between me and the gang of gangsters before?"

He took off his uniform and put it on the table nearby.

Li Ran nodded to Mrs. Connie and Mrs. Connie in the Chinese restaurant, then turned and walked towards the door of the Chinese restaurant.

Whether he works in a Chinese restaurant or not actually has little impact on him. After all, Li Ran didn't come to Harlem just to work.

"Wait a moment!"

Mrs. Connie lowered her head and glanced at Li Ran's uniform folded in the Chinese restaurant, and then at his back as he left.

There was struggling and hesitation on his face for a few seconds, and he quickly called out to Li Ran who had already reached the door of the store.

"You don't need to leave, Axing." She reached out and patted her husband's arm. Mrs. Connie looked at Li Ran's surprised face and said, "We plan to hire you to protect the safety of the Chinese restaurant."

…

Harlem paradise.

Second floor, in the office.

"In the barber shop?"

When Cornell heard the name announced by Shamik, he frowned slightly and felt a little troubled.

When he was young, he worked under his father Henry and received a lot of care from him. Therefore, he had great respect for his former boss. Even though he was no longer vicious after he came out of prison, he still maintained his respect. , and respect the other party's request and let the barber shop it opens exist as the "Switzerland" (neutral zone) of Harlem.

"Are you sure he's in the barber shop?"

"Absolutely not wrong." Shamik nodded hurriedly. He did not dare to lie in front of the water viper: "The yellow man wearing a red sweatshirt. When I went to the barber shop in the morning, I saw him sitting there cutting his hair. , I even had a quarrel with my father about this."

"..."

After hearing this, Cornell sat in his chair and was silent for a moment.

Then he slowly said: "Since the matter involves dad..."

However, before Connell could finish speaking, the door to the room was pushed open again.

"Hey, Willis, haven't you ever learned a thing called manners, haven't you seen what I'm talking about?"

Cornell frowned and looked at the intruding 'Rattlesnake' Willis Stryker and asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"That guy showed up again!" Ignoring the accusation, Willis glanced at Martin and Shamik who were kneeling in the office and said to Cornell who was sitting on the chair: "That man in the red undershirt, we A group of his men were attacked by him while collecting money."

"It's him again!"

Although Cornell still has respect for his father, it does not mean that he can accept others sabotaging him again and again.

"Where is it this time?" Cornell asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"It's the Chinese couple's Chinese restaurant."

When he heard that the place of the accident was not in the barber shop, Cornell's frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed. He stood up from where he was sitting and came to the side of the Rattlesnake: "Before tomorrow, I hope to see That guy, life or death, let him know what Harlem, the rules of the Negro area are.”
