"Family members respond!"

In a simple mourning hall, Chen Ying sat stupidly on a futon, mechanically throwing paper money into the brazier in front of her.

Although I don't want her to endure this kind of hardship at such a young age, she is still an eleven-year-old girl after all, and it is obviously not feasible to use the kind of rhetoric that coaxes a child.

Chen Meiyun's death compensation came very quickly. It was obvious that both the military and the government wanted to turn this matter into a trivial matter. Whether it was the destroyed houses, cars or casualties, everything was resolved quickly, in just two days

The compensation was paid in less than a day.

Of course, the reason why the compensation came so quickly is that General Ross also played a lot of role in it. After all, he definitely didn't want this matter to become a stain on his political performance.

Now, those lazy government agencies are really efficient.

However, Li Qingyuan's malicious suspicion should be closely related to the small loss this time, because the total death toll did not exceed one hundred, not even as many people died in a gang fight.

As for the destroyed buildings, they are even less worth mentioning. After hating them for a long time, they destroyed low-rise buildings with three floors or less. Not even a single building was destroyed, which is really disappointing.

"Xiaoying, don't be sad!" Wanda walked to Chen Ying and pulled her arm and said.

"..."

Chen Ying did not answer her, but continued to add paper money to the brazier.

"Big brother!" Wanda walked timidly to Li Qingyuan, tugged at the corner of his clothes and shouted.

"Let Xiaoying calm down for a while. What she needs most now is time to calm down!" Li Qingyuan lovingly touched Wanda's head. No one could help Chen Ying in her current state.

After all, Chen Ying is different from Wanda. Wanda still has a biological brother like Pietro. Although Wanda gets very angry every time she mentions Pietro, in fact she cares about her idiot brother more than anyone else!

Chen Ying and Chen Meiyun have been dependent on each other since she was a child. Now that her mother has suddenly disappeared, it is normal for her to be confused for a while.

Unless he has some bald man's magical memory-changing ability, he can make her cheerful instantly.

But doing that is actually more cruel than killing the other person, because if a person doesn't even have his own personality and memory, can he really be himself?

So, even if a bald man behaves like a saint all day long, when his heart is cut open, it will be black inside!

There were not many people in the mourning hall. Chen Meiyun had no relatives or friends here, so there were only dozens of neighbors. After putting incense sticks, everyone gave Chen Ying a few words of comfort, but she didn't respond at all.

He retreated angrily.

Originally, there were two guys who didn't look like good guys, and they were about to ask about Chen Meiyun's compensation. However, after Li Qingyuan stood in front of them and gestured his rock-hard biceps, the two guys immediately

He ran away with his tail between his legs.

Of course, a trivial matter like two poisonous insects crawling onto those two guys is not worth mentioning!

"Xiaoying, pack up, we should send your mother on her way!" After waiting for about half an hour and no one came to pay homage, Li Qingyuan shouted to Chen Ying.

"Uh." Chen Ying nodded numbly. At such a young age, she already knew that she would no longer be able to act like a spoiled child. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Just as Li Qingyuan ordered people to start preparing to lift the coffin, he saw a guy wearing black-rimmed glasses and a mouth full of big gold teeth rushing in from outside.

"Don't rush to retreat. Our boss is coming to offer incense, why don't you hurry up!" Da Jinya quickly scolded the workers to put down the coffin, as if he was taking over the host's place.

"Don't!" Seeing that Jill was about to step forward to teach her a lesson, Li Qingyuan pulled her back.

Although the other party's attitude is a bit arrogant, no matter what, they are here to worship. As long as they are not malicious and causing trouble, they can still be tolerated.

Da Jinya set up the incense burner, and then ran out of the door, probably to pick up the boss he talked about!

After a while, a hale and hearty old man walked in from the door with a cane, and Big Gold Tooth stood beside him like a dog, supporting him.

"Sorry, I'm late!" When the old man entered, he nodded slightly and said hello to Li Qingyuan. It was obvious that he could see that he was the one making the final decision here.

"It doesn't matter, it's not the right time yet." Li Qingyuan also nodded slightly, feeling a little curious about the relationship between the old man and Chen Meiyun.

The old man walked to Chen Meiyun's coffin and looked at it silently, then lit three sticks of incense and bowed gently.

"My name is Lei Gong. The old neighbors on the street call me Uncle Qi to save their dignity. I wonder what I call my little brother?" After paying homage to Chen Meiyun, Lei Gong walked up to Li Qingyuan and asked.

"Li Qingyuan!" Li Qingyuan lowered his head slightly and looked at the old man in front of him. It turned out that this guy was Thunder Lord!

"I asked you how old you are, so I can call you Xiao Li, okay?" Lei Gong was talking to himself and said directly without waiting for his consent.

"Meiyun met me a few times when she first came to Chinatown. At that time, I also arranged for a matchmaker to get her to renew her relationship with a nephew of mine. Although it didn't work out in the end, there was still some romance. Her daughter is now like this

She’s too old to take care of herself, so I’m going to adopt her as my goddaughter, but I don’t know what you want, Xiao Li!”

I see!

Li Qingyuan touched his chin. No wonder Chen Ying in Chinatown Detective was a policeman, but he was so familiar with Lei Gong, a gangster. It turned out that the two of them had such a connection.

Of course, although Lei Gong said he accepted Chen Ying as his goddaughter, he was actually just giving her a protective talisman. Presumably the two of them would only meet once during the holidays, and there would be no contact at all on weekdays.

After all, as an eleven-year-old girl, she suddenly had hundreds of thousands of dollars in her pocket without any relatives. Without the protection of people like Lei Gong, Chen Ying would never have survived to adulthood.

Although the security in Chinatown is much better than that in Hell's Kitchen and Queens, it is not paradise either.

In a place like New York, it is simply impossible to find a neighborhood that has nothing to do with the underworld.

Lei Gong is the godfather of gangsters in Chinatown. As long as Chen Ying has a relationship with him, basically everyone will give him face.

Those who don’t need to give Lei Gong face would not care about the mere 200,000 yuan in compensation!

"I accept Xiaoying's kindness from Uncle Qi, but I have decided to adopt Xiaoying, and she has no objections, so I can only remember this relationship first." Li Qingyuan handed over his hand. Although the other party was kind-hearted,

But he doesn't want to underestimate the other person for several generations out of thin air.

As for adopting Chen Ying?
