Chapter 388 Arrival in the United States

The next morning, two big news happened in the city of Syracuse. The city's dentist had all his teeth pulled out and his legs broken, and the dentist's wife had her tongue cut off and both arms broken.

As for the lawyer, he was castrated and his ears were cut off.

I have to say that these gang members are very professional when it comes to doing bad things.

At noon, Malena returned from the city, looking obviously unhappy.

Afterwards, Malena went directly to Lu Cheng's house. After seeing Lu Cheng, she threw herself into Lu Cheng's arms with grievance.

"What's going on? Did anyone make you angry?"

"My father...he changed the locks on the door of our house and didn't want to see me."

"Marlena, don't be sad. Tell me what happened first. Do you know what the reason is?"

"I heard from some people in the city that someone went to the school and delivered a letter to my father, saying that it was... it was... "

Lu Cheng patted Marlena on the back and said, "Leave it to me. I'll take care of it."

"Ah."

After comforting Malena and having lunch with her, Lu Cheng went out, turned into an alley, changed into Ezio's identity, and came to a courtyard on the east side.

A few guys who were sitting together drinking and chatting in the yard saw Lu Cheng coming over, and they quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Sir."

Lu Cheng nodded, and then ordered: "Go to the city to investigate a matter... Find out who sent the letter to the Latin teacher, find the person behind it, and deal with it directly."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, have Camilo and the others come here to see me in the evening."

After giving the instructions, Lu Cheng got up and left.

This contact point was established not long ago to make it easier for Lu Cheng to arrange his subordinates' work.

This investigation task was not difficult. The subordinates submitted the news and the results the next day. It turned out that the postman in the city sent a letter to Malena's father, slandering Malena for having affairs with many men in the city, and spread the matter.

As for the purpose, it is to push Malena into the abyss so that he can take the opportunity to succeed.

Last night, Lu Cheng's men sneaked into the postman's house and slit the postman's throat.

Several incidents happened in the city one after another. The police investigated everywhere but found nothing.

For a time, the people of Syracuse were in panic. At night, everyone turned off the lights early, closed the doors and windows, and dared not make the slightest movement.

Even the police patrolling the streets were divided into groups of seven or eight and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Lu Cheng didn't care about Malena's father, the deaf and stubborn old man for the time being, but Malena would visit him from time to time.

As a father, he did not stand up to protect his daughter when she was in trouble, and he even believed in slander and cut off ties with his daughter. It was only because Malena was more filial, otherwise who would care about his life or death?

The turmoil in the city soon faded away, and people's fear did not last long.

In this era, it is normal for several people to die every month. That is, the postman, dentist, and lawyer all had accidents at home, which is why they made such a big fuss.

On the other hand, Lu Cheng also mobilized his subordinates and quickly arranged for the first group of people to go to the United States to prepare the way.

At the same time, the factory has been working overtime to complete previous orders.

Lu Cheng and Malena also sold the two houses here at a low price.

When Mrs. Moore heard that Lu Cheng was leaving, she also offered to follow Lu Cheng.

There was no one else in Mrs. Moore's house, and since Mrs. Moore was quite efficient and had recently learned some Chinese cooking, Lu Cheng decided to take her along.

Anyway, when I get there I will have to find someone to do the laundry, cooking and housework.

In December 1940, Lu Cheng, who had lived in Sicily for half a year, boarded a cargo ship bound for the United States with Malena.

At the same time, Malena's old father was also tied up by Lu Cheng's men and sent on board.

It was not until the ship sailed out of Sicily that Malena saw her father and explained everything to him.

Of course, Lu Cheng did not go to see the old man, and the old man was not worthy of his respect.

Lu Cheng's original identity was to go to the United States as a friend of "Ezio" under the escort of a dozen younger brothers.

As for the secondary "Ezio", he will go to the United States alone to join his younger brothers. The younger brothers all went to the United States with their families in batches.

Among the more than 120 younger brothers, more than half were willing to leave with Lu Cheng, and only about thirty people remained on Sicily.

Before leaving, a few of the younger brothers went to greet the toothless dentist and the castrated lawyer again, and beat the two guys half to death. They would have to stay in bed for at least a year and a half.

At the same time, the younger brothers who stayed in Sicily also received a task, which was to teach those two guys a lesson every six months, and first arrange for them to be paralyzed for three years and suffer from dementia for five years.

As it was a time of war and Mexico had already declared war on Britain and France, Lu Cheng and others took a merchant ship and traveled several times before finally boarding a plane to the United States.

By the time we arrived in New York, the United States, it was already the beginning of 41.

After arriving in New York, Lu Cheng took Malena directly to Chinatown in New York.

In fact, as early as 1890, Chinatown was formed in Manhattan. A large number of Chinese people gathered here, mainly from Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong and other places. The main languages ​​are Mandarin, Minnan dialect and Cantonese.

Lu Cheng quickly became one of the local residents with his authentic Mandarin, fluent Cantonese and Minnan dialect, and opened a Chinese medicine clinic.

Of course, Lu Cheng’s Chinese medicine clinic is only open 4 days a week, and he often goes out the rest of the time.

As for the reason for going out, it was naturally because he switched to another account. Under the name "Ezio", he re-established a cosmetics company, built a factory, and began to produce various cosmetics.

Although the two identities cannot appear at the same time, Lu Cheng has arranged everything quite well with his superb time management skills.

As for Ezio, Lu Cheng does not show up often. Most of the time, he leaves the management to his younger brothers and he only needs to sit behind the scenes.

Not long after, "Ezio's" lawyer signed a formula purchase contract with Lu Cheng, and transferred a sum of money to Lu Cheng through transfers from one hand to the other. This also established a channel for the flow of funds between his two identities.

Of course, since both identities are Lu Cheng, it is easy to launder some money. Buying and selling antiques, secret recipes, etc. is all possible.

After arriving in the United States, Lu Cheng initially established a foothold here in just two or three months.

Since it was a time of war, a large number of immigrants entered the United States almost every day. It was not difficult to obtain a legal identity, as long as you had money.

After everything settled down, Lu Cheng, with his extraordinary medical skills, quickly made friends with a group of people from all walks of life. Among them were legitimate businessmen, gang leaders in Chinatown, and even some mafia figures in the United States.

At this time, the American Mafia had grown stronger, not only engaging in various illegal transactions, but also getting involved in politics. Gang fights and gun battles were also common.

Those gang members who were shot could not go to the hospital for treatment, so they needed a special black clinic...
