I didn't expect that I would have such an unexpected gain when I came to Chinatown for a meal today.
If what this guy said is true, then this family might really be the real martial artists of this era.
However, from the guy's words, Fang Lang also discovered that this family must be in trouble now.
His son will definitely not give up easily after injuring the white man.
That’s why there are situations where white people come to people’s homes to smash and destroy things.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
“Brother, you can do more than just introduce a female bodyguard to me!
From what you said, you want me to help this family?
You should be a member of the Hongmen, right? Why don't you help them?"
...
...
After hearing Fang Lang's words, the guy didn't feel embarrassed about being seen through.
He smiled and said:
"Mr. Fang, you are joking!
I'm just a small person, there are many things that we cannot interfere with.
What we can do is to throw those troublemakers out of Chinatown.
But you should also know that their problem is not those punks."
Fang Lang understood what the other party meant. The real problem of this family was obviously the family of the white boy who was beaten by their son.
If they can't deal with the other party, their family will be harassed endlessly.
"I am really interested in what you said. Aren't they from your Hongmen?"
The guy waved his hands and said:
“Of course not, if it were, we wouldn’t just throw those white bastards out of Chinatown.
Those white thugs wouldn't dare to attack us Hongmen members."
The guy obviously knew that Fang Lang didn't want to recruit a member of the Hongmen to be a bodyguard for his woman.
"Then you can go to that house and see if they are home. We will go over to check after we finish our meal."
Seeing that Fang Lang really wanted to go to the Chinese medicine clinic, the guy was very happy.
He believed that with the strength Fang Lang had shown, he would be able to handle the problems encountered by this family.
In fact, he was sure that if Fang Lang really recruited the two girls from this family as bodyguards.
There is no need for Fang Lang to take action, as their hall master Fang Jinao can take the initiative to step forward and settle the matter for the other party.
Don't underestimate the influence of the Hongmen in the United States, even though the little people under them don't have much influence.
However, the influence of the hall masters, mountain masters and the like is enormous.
Even Roosevelt was once Mr. Situ’s legal adviser.
"Okay! Master Fang, take your time eating. I'll go and see if Master Li and his family are here right away."
After saying that, he bowed like a slave in the Qing Dynasty.
Fang Lang shook his head when he saw this.
It seems that this guy's original family must be a group of old people from the old city.
Fang Lang didn't mean to look down on the other party. He just felt that since he had already arrived in the United States, he should change his servile habits to avoid being looked down upon by foreigners.
This guy might be the kind of person that others often say, the one whose braids on his head have been cut off, but the braids in his heart are still there!
However, this guy is not a bad person. He is able to find opportunities to help his compatriots solve problems.
After the waiter left, Fang Lang and the others finally began to concentrate on enjoying this authentic Chinese meal.
Fang Lang felt that the taste of these dishes was actually not as delicious as people in later generations said.
I don’t know if it’s because there weren’t that many suitable ingredients in the United States at that time, or for some other reason.
However, Lilith and Ophelia Berg ate with gusto.
While Fang Lang was picking up dishes for Lilith, he explained to him the legends about the origins of these dishes that were heard from later generations.
In fact, the dishes Fang Lang ordered today were not big dishes, and were far from being as exquisite as a Manchu-Han banquet.
But it is the most common dish in later generations, and it can often test the true level of the chef.
Fang Lang felt that today's meal was just average.
But Fang Lang didn't care, as long as the two girls liked to eat it.
The meal didn't take long, mainly because the two girls didn't have big appetites.
As soon as I finished my meal, the waiter was already waiting at the door.
"Mr. Fang, I've just checked, Mr. Li and his family are all at home!
Look, how about I take you there now?"
Fang Lang looked up and saw that it was already dark, and the street lights were on.
Although it didn't snow in New York in April, the weather was still very cold.
Fang Lang grabbed Lilith's hand, rubbed it a few times, put it in his pocket, and waved his hand:
"Let's go and see if there really is such a powerful martial arts master as you said."
Then, the group of people did not get on the bus, but came to the Chinese medicine clinic that the waiter mentioned, under the curious gazes of people on the street.
It was not the Chinese-style building in Fang Lang's mind. It looked like a two-story Tang-style house. The frontage was not big and it was not on the main street, but in a small alley.
At first glance, one sees a spacious living room converted into a Chinese-style pharmacy. The row of large medicine cabinets exudes the familiar aroma of medicinal herbs that Fang Lang is familiar with.
Maybe it was because the waiter had greeted them in advance, at this moment, a family of five was standing neatly inside.
Seeing Fang Lang and others coming to the door under the guidance of the waiter.
Mr. Li, the host, stepped out. The Mr. Li referred to by the waiter did not look old at all. Fang Lang felt that he looked even younger than his own father.
I don't know why the waiters call me Mr. Li.
This is a middle-aged man who looks very energetic. Judging from his appearance, he definitely doesn't seem to have the ability that the guy said, that would lose the ability to resist if he were to touch someone.
However, Fang Lang could sense a dangerous aura from the other party. Although the other party was trying his best to restrain himself, Fang Lang's sixth sense could still clearly capture the power of this carnivore.
Fang Lang did not sense any danger from the middle-aged man and stretched out his right hand with a smile.
I noticed that the other person raised his hands, apparently preparing to bow.
As a result, he noticed Fang Lang's outstretched right hand, put his hand down again, and quickly stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Fang Lang.
The other person's palms were very rough, completely different from the impression Fang Lang had of a doctor.
I understand that the opponent's Kung Fu must be very powerful.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you with your visit."
Li Yun said very politely:
“You’re welcome. Xiaolin told me your thoughts.
To be honest, if you had come a few days earlier, I would have definitely rejected you directly.
However, the current situation is somewhat special.
Don’t you know how dangerous the person you want my daughter to protect is?”
Fang Lang understood what Mr. Li meant and smiled:
"Mr. Li, don't be anxious. How about we sit down and have a good chat?"
Li Yunze smiled embarrassedly and quickly moved aside to let Fang Lang into the house.
Before Fang Lang entered, several guards around him had already walked in. Li Yunze was slightly stunned before he reacted.
He smiled and didn't say much.
Fang Lang followed Li Yunze into the Chinese medicine clinic. The clinic was not very large and there was no one else inside.
There was only a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. They should be about the same age as Fang Lang. This was beyond Fang Lang's expectation that this young man was still studying at such an old age.
Could it be going to college? That’s rare!
The other two girls actually looked like twins.
As for her appearance, although she cannot be considered particularly beautiful, she is in line with the aesthetic standards of Oriental people.
What is striking is that the two sisters have well-proportioned figures and are 1.7 meters tall.
You can tell at first glance that she is a sporty girl.
Fang Lang nodded to each of them one by one as a greeting.
Li Yunze guided Fang Lang to sit at an eight-person table in the middle of the living room, and introduced him:
"Mr. Fang, please take a seat!
These are my family.”
Li Yunze's lover took the initiative to come forward and serve tea to Fang Lang.
Fang Lang patted the stool beside him, motioning Lilith to sit next to him.
He said to Li Yunze:
"I heard that Mr. Li escaped from Tianjin after being involved in a murder case.
Would you mind telling me about it?"
Li Yunze obviously did not expect Fang Lang to ask this question, and his face turned bitter.
Mrs. Li, who was pouring tea for everyone, was also shocked and spilled some of the tea without realizing it.
The three young men behind him seemed to want to talk but hesitated, but it was obvious that they were brought up in a strict family, so they held back and did not utter a word.
After a long while, Li Yunze said:
"Since Mr. Fang asked, I have nothing to hide. This happened a long time ago.
At that time, my family had just settled in Tianjin. When my wife and I were walking on the street, we were stopped by two Japanese wanderers who wanted to touch my wife. I hit her too hard and the two bastards died on the spot.
At that time, the Japanese were rampant and the police did not dare to offend them. We could only take our families and flee Tianjin overnight.
Finally, I settled down in Chinatown in New York."
Hearing the other party downplay it, Fang Lang felt that it might not be that simple.
However, after knowing that the other party killed Japanese, Fang Lang laughed and said:
“Good killing, I like to make friends with people who kill Japanese.
Your husband may not know that I killed too many Japanese.
So, the Japanese now want to play dirty tricks on me.
I don’t care about it myself, but I’m worried that these bastards won’t be able to find a way out of me and will attack my woman.
I was just thinking about whether I could find a bodyguard for my woman.
Of course, my guards could have done the job, too.
However, sometimes some places are still not very convenient.
That's why I said I wanted to find a girl with better skills to stay with my woman.
Don’t let the Japanese succeed.”
Li Yunze understood what Fang Lang meant as soon as he heard it, which was that the armed guards around Fang Lang were in charge of the periphery, and her daughter only needed to follow closely.
This job is not dangerous at all. He believes that with his daughter's skills, this kind of work will not be difficult at all.
What surprised Li Yunze the most was that the other party actually said that he was targeted by the Japanese because he killed too many Japanese.
Looking at the foreign guards around Fang Lang, Li Yun became a little confused.
When Fang Lang saw the other party's expression, he realized that the other party didn't know what he meant by killing the Japanese.
He smiled and said:
"Mr. Li may not know me, my name is Fang Lang, and I am currently a colonel in the Brazilian Navy.
I took my men to participate in the Pacific Campaign. Although we entered the battlefield relatively late, we were not able to kill many Japanese on the battlefield.
However, as the Osaka occupation force, I led my men and set several fires in Osaka and Kyoto, Japan."
Fang Lang's words made Li Yunze, his family behind him, and even Lilith and others look shocked.
