Chapter 17: Taking a Detour?

  Insufficient balance

  "How are you going to collect protection fees from them, or else who will protect these stall owners? It's not about collecting money, it's about doing favors for people! Don't you understand the rules of the underworld? Everyone has their own priorities and emergencies, when someone is in a tight spot, even if you give them two dollars to buy their favor, that's still good!"

  Wang Gang is recklessly brainwashing two idiots!

  "Hey, boss, what line are you in? I think we've been washed away by the flood and ended up at the Dragon King Temple. We're a family that doesn't recognize each other, it's all just a misunderstanding!" said the second brother dully.

  "Right, boss! What you said is exactly the same as what our boss said. I didn't know he had a relative in Asia!" Old Three chimed in foolishly.

  "Stop giving me nonsense, do you really know what's wrong?! Wang Gang didn't plan to let these two little rascals bleed on Fifth Avenue at the entrance of Central Park. He would just pat his butt and leave, and in the future, it would be the Mexican old man selling goods and those vagrants who would suffer."

  As for handing these two thugs over to the police, it's nothing but a waste of New York taxpayers' money, locking them up for two days and then releasing them, nothing will change in the underclass street society, and the unfortunate ones who suffer retaliation are still the vulnerable groups like Mexican vendors.

  He glanced at the two clumsy thieves kneeling in front of him, looking pitiful and speechless, admitting their mistake. He simply walked up to them, took the dagger from the curly-haired thug's hand, folded it, and put it into his own pocket.

  He also gestured for Lao Er to take down the bundle from the motorcycle and open it!

  Lao Er was at a loss, Lao San's brain suddenly became clearer, and he hastily followed the instructions. The hot dogs and roasted sausages inside were still steaming hot. The two clumsy thieves knelt in front of Wang Geng with their bundles and hot dogs, looking foolish.

  "Bring out four hot dogs and six grilled sausages, and wrap the rest up for me as they are!" Wang Geng said coldly.

  The two thugs didn't dare to slack off, and quickly did as they were told, one hand holding the hot dogs and roasted sausage wrapped in oil paper, their eyes never leaving the gun in Wang Gang's hand, were they going to let them eat their fill before opening fire?

  In the distance, the sound of a police car's siren could be faintly heard. Wang Gang furrowed his brow upon hearing it, while the two thugs in front of him felt a surge of joy in their hearts. Being handed over to the police would at most mean being detained for illegal possession of weapons, but provoking this unpredictable and formidable opponent in front of them might just cost them their lives!

  The sound of police sirens, which normally made these two rascals' hearts skip a beat, now sounded like a lifesaver.

  "Four hot dogs and six meat sausages for two handguns and a dagger, any objections?"

  "Ah?! No opinion, no opinion!" The two guys nodded hastily, being able to keep their lives was better than anything else! And they even had hot dogs to take back and report to their own boss, this matter was simply like a dream.

  Damn it, after waiting for half a day, not a single taxi was willing to stop, Wang Gang's heart was indignant.

  In fact, they didn't think about it, the three of them, one motorcycle, one bag, and one gun, performing on the side of the road. Which taxi driver who wants to die would dare to stop? Maybe even the police car is a kind-hearted taxi driver who reported the alarm!

  "Alright, it's been half a day and no taxi has come. It's freezing outside, and if we delay any further, the hot dogs will become cold dogs! Borrow me your motorcycle, and tomorrow morning you can find it at the parking lot of the Municipal Hospital. I'll leave the key at the service desk!" Wang Gang said with a hum.

  "Alright, alright, we'll do as you say!" The two clumsy thieves looked at the handgun in Wang Gang's hand. At this point, they could only nod their heads, and neither of them had figured out how their knives and guns had suddenly ended up in someone else's hands.

  The only conclusion these two rascals could draw was that, apart from their boss, they didn't take orders from anyone else. But when it came to a real fight, they were no match for this New York hero who dared to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge! They should get rid of this plague as soon as possible! Although Wang Gang's words weren't overly tyrannical, the chill in his eyes made the two brothers shudder.

  Wang Gang hung the package back on the motorcycle handlebars, straddled the bike with one leg, and without seeing any movement in his hands, the pistol had already disappeared from his hand, leaving the two stupid thieves stunned!

  Wang Gang rode this 1914 Harley-Davidson X-8B single-bar motorcycle, revving the throttle and releasing the clutch to speed off. The front wheel lifted high into the air as it accelerated on one wheel for over ten meters before landing back down. Then the motorcycle roared away, disappearing into the streets of Fifth Avenue.

  Two thugs were left behind, holding hot dogs and meat buns, staring at each other in dismay, as the sound of police sirens gradually grew louder in the distance.

  Wang Gang drove the Harley X-8B at high speed on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, late at night, and soon returned to the hospital. The motorcycle was parked in the hospital's parking lot, and the key was handed over to the nurse on duty in the emergency room along with a hot dog.

  When he returned to his own room, he bribed the nurse on duty at the infirmary service desk with the last hot dog hidden in his pocket.

  "But whatever you do, don't tell Miss Carey I just went out for a breath of fresh air!"

  Although the nurse on duty in the fifth floor ward was delighted to share such a small secret with her idol, New York Hero, there is no wall that does not leak, and more than one nurse who had eaten hot dogs brought by Wang Gang that night.

  The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Wang Gang was still snoring loudly and making up for lost sleep when he was pulled out of his dream by Nurse Kelly, who pinched his earlobe.

  "You scoundrel, Wang Gong! You sneaked out in the middle of the night and even bought hot dogs for the nurses! How did you get the money? How did you sneak out? I asked all the nurses on duty, and they only saw you coming back, no one saw you leaving! Where did you get the motorcycle from?"

  Kerry rushed to the hospital early in the morning, apparently unable to accept that Wang Gang had sneaked out of the hospital when she was not around and even brought hot dogs back for other nurses to eat.

  It's all in vain that I've been so good to this guy, and yet he even bought hot dogs without saving one for me. This is the fact that hurts the girl's heart the most. As she spoke, her eyes became red-rimmed!

  Wang Geng was tossing and turning all night, and this morning he was sleeping soundly when his girlfriend pulled him up. He was dreaming of hugging the deputy commander's waist and wanting to do something, but now he was suddenly pulled awake from his dream. For a moment, he was very annoyed! He couldn't help but complain,

  "Hey, hey, what's with the ears? It's not easy for me to come home and visit once in a while, and you're ruining the warmth!" Wang Gang said, rubbing his eyes and yawning reluctantly as he got out of bed.

  "I was going to leave you a hot dog, but you're in the hospital, and that thing can't be eaten cold, I'll buy it for you again at most today! And early in the morning, no one is allowed to sleep a little longer!"

  Wang Gang grumbled and complained as he sleepily walked into the bathroom.

  This guy put the agreement signed with Edison and that check under his pillow last night, but didn't pick them up for a while. Carrie's eyes were sharp, she saw it clearly, pulled out the check and took a look, and was simply stunned.

  "$50,000! Is this for real or fake? Wang Gang! Where did you swindle it from?" The girl thought that this guy was simply too exaggerated. He had been gone for just one night and the front desk said he had an extra motorcycle in the parking lot, which she hadn't even asked him about yet. And now, under his pillow, a check for $50,000 had suddenly appeared!

  "I don't know if it's true or false, you can take a look too. Anyway, it's a check signed by Edison in person in front of me. When the bank opens later, I'll go cash it! Then we'll know whether it's true or not!" Wang Gang said vaguely while brushing his teeth.

  "Edison has gone mad to give you $50,000! He's an inventor, all right, but he's also a greedy and stingy businessman!" The girl exclaimed in disbelief, and then saw the contract under the pillow, hastily pulled it out and read it.

  "You two are crazy! That Edison is 70 years old and still so naive, he actually fell for your trick. This broken design is worth $50,000? Do you know how much money that is?" The girl exclaimed after reading the contract.

  "If it weren't for the fact that yesterday was Sunday and it was evening, Manhattan would have only Edison working overtime in his General Electric lab, and I wouldn't have been able to find anyone else. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold it to him for a mere $50,000 - he's really taken advantage of me!"

  "He must be crazy! What is this, Wang Gang? You actually have a gun under your pillow! Where did the gun come from? Did you use it to coerce him into signing the check and agreement?"

  Kerry girl held the revolver in her hand and jumped up from bed in a panic!

  Wang Gang walked out of the bathroom and stretched out his hand to take the gun from the girl's hand, smiling and saying:

  "Guns can't be moved randomly, this matter is long to say, let me change my clothes first, I'll invite you to have coffee, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's eat together and talk while we eat!"

  Wang Gang's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Kelly had a key hanging from her small hand, wasn't it the key to his own Harley X-8B that he had left at the front desk last night? He excitedly took it over to take a look, and said to the beautiful nurse who still looked shocked:

  "How about we take a walk together and enjoy the breeze? The weather is great today!"
