Hogan looked at Jordan and said seriously, “I’ve always wanted to go back, but I can’t muster up thecourage, so I’d better take this opportunity to go back and help me make a decision.”
Jordan said nervously, “Uncle Chen! You can live if you hide! In case Lloyd doesn’t want to let you go,you’ll be dead if you go back!”
Hogan laughed, “Even if he wants me dead, he has to wait for the right time, he can’t just kill me atcustoms when I’ve just been repatriated back, right? Besides, I am repatriated to Hong Kong, thecustoms officers must take me there to go through a process, I believe that even if Lombardo iscapable, he would not dare to make a move on me at customs, so that I can notify my family inadvance and they can come to customs to see me, as long as I can meet with my family, even if he killsme right out of the gate, I will accept it.”
He smiled faintly and said, “Jordan, in this matter you do not need to persuade me, I have my owndecision, you just run this roast goose store, the rest, do not worry about me.”
Jordan choked with red eyes and said, “Uncle Chen… I don’t want to run the roast goose store, I justwant to follow your side and be an honest runner…”
Jordan has a very strong bond with Hogan.
He was originally a Chinese from Southeast Asia, his parents went down to the South Seas to workearlier, but met with some local unrest, so they smuggled him to the United States when he was ayoung one, intending to put down roots in the United States.
However, the boat used by the snakeheads to transport them hit a reef and sank when it was close tothe U.S.
coastline and a boat with dozens of illegal immigrants drowned a large number of people.
Both of Jordan’s parents were buried at sea in that disaster, while the young one was relying on a smallpiece of plank, floating at sea for several hours and was finally saved by the man who sailed the boat.
In that accident, those who survived were such young half-grown children as Jordan and it was theparents who gave the child the floating object that could save his life so that the child could survive.
The people who sailed the boat, like Hogan, are stowaways or illegally stay in the United States, thesepeople are usually considered to help each other and have a small circle of their own.
When several children were rescued back to New York, these illegal people got together to have ameeting. They felt that the children’s situation was so miserable that if they were not taken in, theywould either starve to death on the streets or be repatriated by the government, or sent to anorphanage, so after discussion, those who could afford it adopted an orphan.
Jordan was adopted by Hogan. He was just ten years old when he was brought back to this roastgoose store, but now, he is twenty-two years old. Since he had no legal status, Hogan opened the storeand taught Jordan to study at the same time and then Jordan started to help him do what he could inthe back kitchen.
After he became an adult, he simply worked directly in the roast goose store as a fellow.novelbin
Jordan was very grateful for Hogan’s kindness and always treated him as his father and even made uphis mind long ago that he would follow Hogan’s side and help him in his life and when he was old, hewould die for him.
But how could he have imagined that Hogan would now decide to return to Hong Kong to die?
Hogan saw that his eyes were red and tears were flowing, so he smiled and said “Jordan, I have nochildren, since you came here, I have been making roast goose in the back kitchen all these years,
never hiding my skills in front of you, I believe you have also learned my skills, as long as the police arenot looking for you, you should run this store well, save more money and if you have the opportunity, goback, if you have a chance, you can go back to Southeast Asia to get your original identity back, thenmarry and have children and settle down.”
