A farm in Burbank.

Hardy's car was parked outside, and a farmer came out to check it out, looking from Hardy to Richard.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We are friends of Henry and we have contacted him by phone before," said Hardy.

The farmer nodded.

"I'll take you to find him."

The three of them walked into the cowshed. Henry, wearing jeans and big rain boots, was trying hard to fork cow dung. When he heard the shouting, he turned around and saw Hardy and Richard, and happily dropped the fork.

"Hardy, Richard."

Henry ran over and gave Hardy a big hug, then hugged Richard.

“It’s so great to meet you.”

Hadi smiled and said, "Well, follow me now."

Bang~!

Henry stood at attention.

"Report to Sergeant Hardy, Henry has returned to the team!"

Henry greeted his boss, packed his luggage, threw his backpack on the car, got in, and waved goodbye to the rancher.

"Old Logan, I'm going to Los Angeles to hang out."

The rancher waved his hand. "Good luck to you, Henry. It's great to be young."

On the road,

Hardy asked Henry, "Do you know where the crazy guy is? I called him and couldn't get through?"

Henry smiled helplessly, "The madman is now in prison."

The Madman's real name is Matthew Settle. Because that guy fights without regard for his life and fights as bravely as a madman, his comrades gave him the nickname Madman.

Hadi was stunned. "What's going on?"

"He hurt people. He became a transport driver after he came back. We've seen him a few times. Two months ago, he had a conflict with another truck driver in a restaurant. You know, crazy people fight to the death. He beat the other person to a pulp and locked him up."

"He could have been released on bail, but he has no money so he has to stay in prison. He also has no money to pay compensation. He will probably be sentenced to one or two years in prison."

"How much bail?" Hardy asked.

"Two thousand dollars."

Two thousand dollars is equivalent to 10 months' salary for an ordinary person, which is definitely not a small amount of money for an ordinary person. Moreover, Americans generally have no habit of saving, and to be honest, they have no money to save, so Matthew could not take out this money at all and could only stay in prison.

"Which prison?"

"San Marinos Prison."

Hardy turned the steering wheel and drove towards San Marinos Prison. A few hours later, the three met Matthew in the visitor's room.

Matthew was surprised to see the three of them. "Boss Hardy, Henry, Richard, why are you together? Why did you think of visiting me again?"

Hardy stuffed $10 into the guard's pocket and the guard turned away.

Hardy threw a cigarette to Matthew, who immediately lit it up, took two deep puffs, and puffed out the smoke with a look of enjoyment.

"How was your life in there? Were you bullied?" Hardy asked with a smile.

Matthew laughed and said with some pride: "When I first came, there were indeed a few guys who wanted to bully me as a newcomer, but I beat them all down. After that, no one dared to mess with me anymore. Now I eat well and sleep well here, and I have a group of little brothers. I live a very comfortable life."

Hardy smiled and nodded.

"I originally wanted to bail you out, but now it seems that's not necessary."

Matthew's expression changed when he heard this. He grabbed Hardy's hand and said anxiously, "Boss, do you have money to bail me out? Then get me out of here quickly."

"Aren't you living very comfortably here?" Henry said with a smile.

"That's not as comfortable as being outside," said Matthew.

The three men were released from prison. Hardy took out two thousand dollars from his pocket and gave it to Henry, "You are responsible for bailing out Matthew. I have to find someone else."

"Don't worry, Boss. We will get rid of the lunatic in three days."

Matthew's case was simple and not a big one, so it was easy to get him out on bail since he had money.

"Who do we go to next?" Richard asked.

"Bombs."

The Cannonball that Hardy mentioned was also a brother from their previous company. His full name was Neil MacDonald. He was best at using all kinds of mines, including detonators, hand grenades, land mines, and time bombs. He was an expert in blasting, so everyone named him Cannonball.

They found Neil's home according to the address and knocked on the door. Neil opened the door and was surprised to see Hardy and Richard. He hugged his two former brothers tightly.

Walk into the house,

The furnishings in the room are very old.

A woman came out. She looked young and not ugly, but her face was a little pale.

"This is my wife, Jenny," Neil introduced.

Jenny greeted Hardy and Richard, "Neil, your friend is here, I'll go make some coffee, cough cough cough."

He started coughing violently after saying just one sentence.

"No need, you go to bed and rest, I can do it myself." Neil hurriedly supported his wife.

Soon Neil came out with two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Hardy and Richard. Hardy asked, "What's wrong with your wife?"

"Tuberculosis, a lung disease."

Hardy was shocked. Tuberculosis is now a serious disease that can kill people.

“No treatment?”

Neil lowered his head. "I've seen it. The doctor said that it needs to be treated with a drug called penicillin. But that drug is very expensive. I couldn't afford it after just a few uses."

Penicillin was officially put into production in 1942. Because of its miraculous therapeutic effects, penicillin is now more expensive than gold and is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

Even in later times, there are many medicines that cost tens of thousands of yuan per injection, which can drag down an entire family.

Hadi thought for a moment and said, "Neil, you know why I'm here."

"Of course, Boss Hardy, I'd love to do it with you, but I have to take care of Jenny, so I'm afraid I can't help you," Neil whispered.

"But it's not a solution to let the disease drag on without treatment, right?" Hardy said.

"I have no choice either." Neil was very upset and angry at himself for not being able to do it.

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Neil, I have an idea. How about taking Jenny to Los Angeles and finding a hospital for her to receive formal treatment? Let's figure out a solution together."

Neil lowered his head and thought about it. He felt that this was the best way to save Jenny, and immediately made up his mind, "Okay, let's go to Los Angeles."

I packed my things immediately and drove to Los Angeles that day.

Hardy sent Jenny directly to Murphy's clinic. After examining her, Dr. Murphy said that Jenny's condition was not the most serious and that there was a high chance of cure using penicillin, but the cost was very high, so they had to be mentally prepared in advance.

"We will find a way to deal with the money issue. Please ask Dr. Murphy to do his best to treat the patient," said Hardy.

Dr. Murphy left, and a nurse came over soon after. "Mr. Hardy, please pay the $1,000 deposit for treatment first."

To be honest, Hardy has no money now.

The money he got from killing Cook and the money he made from giving away wine this month totaled no more than two thousand dollars. He had previously paid out two thousand dollars to bail out Crazy Matthew, so now he only had a little over three hundred dollars left in his pocket.

Hardy thought about it, said goodbye to Neil, and left. He came back about an hour later and paid the deposit for Neil's wife's treatment.

Neil discovered something.

"Hardy, where's your gold watch?"

Hardy smiled and said, "The watch is just a decoration. I'll find a place to store it for now. Okay, now you don't have to worry about the medical expenses."

Neil was deeply moved.

But he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

brother,

No need to waste time.

He kept it in mind.

After settling his wife down, Neil felt relieved. He looked at Hardy and said, "Boss Hardy, what do you want me to do next?"

Hardy smiled and patted Neil on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Wait a day or two until Henry and Crazy come over. I'm going to take you and Richard to see someone now. He's also in this hospital."

"who?"

"Bill."

When the three of them pushed open the door, they found Bill leaning against the head of the bed, and a beautiful nurse was feeding him fruit. This bastard was living a really comfortable life.

When Bill saw the newcomers, he immediately cheered.

"Richard, Cannonball, why are you here?"

The three of them sat down and reminisced. Hardy said, "I have Richard and Cannonball here. Henry and Matthew will come over in three days. I am planning to look for two more people, two friends I met when I was injured. One is called Leo and the other is called Chris. They are also in the Marine Corps, but they are not in the same company as us. They live near Los Angeles. I have already called them and they will come over tomorrow."

"Once we gather together, we won't have to worry about sneak attacks from those Irish bastards anymore."

Bill immediately started to flatter Hardy.

"As expected of Boss Hardy, you have gathered so many brothers in such a short time. Now that we are reunited, we will definitely beat those guys."

Hardy looked at Bill.

"Please get well soon, or we'll have finished our work by the time you're discharged from the hospital."

Bill chuckled, "I hope I can get better soon and fight alongside my brothers."
