Chapter 7 Parting Ways

Asking Frank to rent a single room in this building, Li Changheng went to the school that night, took away the photos of Frank and himself, as well as the materials of many classmates, and burned them.

He went to the orphanage again, and took away the only photo in his memory from two years ago. As for the photos and materials when he was a child, he did not move.

As for the photos when he was adopted, he took them away when he left the orphanage a month ago.

In the newly rented house, Li Changheng, who observed how efficient the American police were, was disappointed again.

Two days later, the homeless men seemed to be living comfortably in the small apartment he and Frank had rented before.

Seeing that it's not a problem to wait like this, from the third day onwards, Frank was left to monitor the rental house.

Li Changheng climbed into the school from a remote place by himself, and stared at the school gate, his classroom, and the Academic Affairs Office from the top of the building.

After school was over at 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Changheng waited for more than an hour, and then walked into his classroom. He wanted to express his feelings, but suddenly found that it was only three days, and his desk was gone.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I was just an orphan who had gone through the formalities and officially left the orphanage. No one was responsible or cared about.

He left the school helplessly. On the fourth day, he really waited until two men in suits wanted to enter the school during class, but they didn't show their IDs to the security guard.

After the security guard refused to let him in, he surrounded the security guard to inquire about something.

Fortunately, these two people were probably drivers, or bodyguards or something. The only clues they got from their employers were two names and middle school student status.

There are no photos, no specific description of his appearance, and he is not a policeman, so he did not get useful information so quickly.

Moreover, a large number of student data disappeared in the school. As long as the relevant person in charge of the school is not stupid, he will never let two people of unknown origin come into the school to ask questions before he has dealt with his own troubles.

Seeing the two leave, Li Changheng knew that he and Frank were fine for the time being, but he still had to avoid the limelight during the safe period, and it was best to leave San Francisco directly.

Since you want to leave, why don't you go to Los Angeles, which is nearby, or simply go to New York, or other big cities on the East Coast.

It's easy to take a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles, 5 dollars per person is enough, but it's difficult to go to New York.

The first choice for the 4,700-kilometer journey is of course the plane, but the air ticket of a few hundred dollars is worth a month's income of a middle-class person.

The second choice is the train, or the Greyhound bus, and the third is to take a ride along the way.

But the train and Greyhound are slow, and they are very slow. If you take a train along the way, if you don’t want to fall asleep and disappear, you should consider a plane, or even buy a car for a few hundred dollars.

Fortunately, according to the memory in my mind, if I handle it properly, I should be able to get on a free plane.

Li Changheng, who decided to go to New York to avoid the limelight, returned to his residence and asked Frank with a smile, "Man, has your mother returned to France to live with your grandmother?"

Frank was taken aback, and then asked in surprise, "Even if we are suspected, there is no need to hide in France, right?

And it has been so many days since I started writing checks, maybe those rich people who only lost a few hundred dollars each think they are unlucky? "

"In your dreams".

Telling what he saw at school today, Frank was immediately overwhelmed with fright.

"But we don't have enough money, how can we go to France?"

"Then you can go back to your father's house to hide for a while, and I will transfer to Los Angeles to start again. If I work hard, I might be able to get into Stanford."

"Working to go to college?" Frank looked at Li Changheng like an idiot and said, "As far as I know, I want to graduate from UC Berkeley and Stanford, with at least 20,000 US dollars in four years.

How hard did you work to graduate?

For four years, we partnered together, and we might have become millionaires already."

Upon hearing this, Li Changheng couldn't help but patted his forehead.

This is the United States, all good universities are private, and the tuition fees are not generally expensive compared to the working class.

In other words, regardless of whether he can be admitted to a good university, the prerequisite is to get some money.

In addition to the tuition fees for college, I have to spend money to change my high school information before I can transfer to another state and apply for college qualifications as a high school student.

While deciding to make money by himself, Li Changheng silently thought about whether to take Frank with him.

But then he thought if it wasn't for this guy, why would he need to leave San Francisco?

Feeling that Frank was unreliable, he pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Frank, what are your plans for the future?"

"Plan?" Frank, who was stopped by this question and had no thought about what he would do in the future, scratched his head and asked, "What do you want to do, I'll just follow you."

Li Changheng was choked for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he deliberately said, "I still want to go back to school, and find a job that pays well and is safe after graduation.

Then marry a virtuous and beautiful wife and have a few lovely children."

"That's not bad," Frank looked forward to for a while, and then, as Li Changheng expected, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "I can't. If you want me to go back to study now, you might as well kill me."

After finishing speaking, he thought that Li Changheng was too timid, and he couldn't go to university with him, right?

Are you separated from Lee Jang Hyung?

In order not to implicate him again in the future like this time, and end up not even having to be friends.

Thinking of this, Frank hesitated for a while, then suddenly said, "I want to visit my father and mother, do you want to come together, Henry?"

"NO", Li Changheng shook his head without thinking, not to mention that he had a premonition in his heart that Frank wanted to leave, and he also wished to be separated from Frank.

If the reality is the same as in the movie, Frank's father has always had no place to vent his grievances after bankruptcy and divorce.

Going to meet a cynical middle-aged man whose wife puts on a prairie hat now is definitely not a good thing for Li Changheng.

You must know that it was his father who actually encouraged Frank to continue cheating when Frank wanted to stop.

Directly regard what Frank is doing as helping his father to seek justice from the bank.

Once Frank's father knew of Li Changheng's existence, when Frank encountered any troubles in the future, the old guy would definitely lead clues to Li Changheng, disrupting the sight of law enforcement agencies.

And Frank's mother is definitely a model who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. She married her husband's friend just three months after her husband went bankrupt.

What's so good about this kind of woman.

Seeing Frank put on his backpack and carrying his handbag, Li Changheng pretended not to notice anything unusual and asked, "Are you coming back tomorrow? If you do, I'll prepare dinner for you."

"Of course." Frank was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "If possible, I would like to eat steak with tomatoes and scrambled eggs."

"This,," Li Changheng, who was worried that Frank would really come back, hesitated for a while, and then said with a shy and embarrassed expression,

"Okay, I'll go to the nearby market to see if there are any discounted steaks, and we will have dinner on time at 7 pm tomorrow."

"Thank you," Frank looked at Li Changheng for a while, and said again in a reluctant tone, "Thank you, Henry, thank you for taking care of me this month."

"Okay buddy, take me to say hello to your parents".

"I will," Frank showed a big smile, waved and said, "See you tomorrow."

Then he turned around and left the room, full of reluctance and confusion about the future, and left the building.
