The world begins with shameless people

In front of Xiuer Chinese Restaurant, in the car.

After receiving the feedback from Xiao Wu, Ding Xiu smiled, took out her cell phone and called Jimmy.

Jimmy was waiting anxiously in the house. When he heard his cell phone ring, he immediately took out his cell phone. Seeing that it was Ding Xiu calling, he quickly stood up and walked away from Fiona. He answered the phone, "What's going on?"

Fiona immediately pricked up her ears, eager to get an answer.

"Nando was just arrested by the DEA, and one of his men named Beto ran away. Maybe he will come to you in a while, but it doesn't matter, I will handle it," Ding Xiu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jimmy immediately breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

In Jimmy's opinion, as long as the boss Nando was caught, a mere subordinate like Beto would not have much impact at all.

"Thank you," Jimmy said sincerely.

"You're welcome. Contact me again. If you encounter any difficulties, call me as soon as possible," said Ding Xiuru.

"Okay," Jimmy responded.

Ding Xiu didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant, ready to start business in the evening.

In the house Jimmy rented.

Jimmy stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket and turned to Fiona with a bright smile, "Nando has been caught by the DEA. He'll probably have to spend a few decades in prison. Problem solved."

Fiona heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "So, this matter has been completely resolved?"

"Well," Jimmy said with a firm smile, hiding the fact that Beto had escaped.

After getting a positive answer, Fiona smiled a little. Then, not knowing what to say for a moment, she got up and took a can of beer from the refrigerator, and gulped down a few big gulps.

After a few sips of beer, Fiona suddenly knew what to say. She looked at Jimmy decisively and said very seriously, "This is the last time!"

"If we are going to have a life together, from this moment on, you must never lie to me again!"

"Otherwise, I will break up with you immediately!"

"Understand?"

This threat is still very powerful.

Jimmy didn't dare to laugh anymore. He nodded heavily and promised, "I promise, I will never lie to you again!"

The fact is, Jimmy meant what he said, and he really felt he could do it.

but……

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Lying has become part of Jimmy's character, and it is not easy to change it.

The same thing happened to Fiona.

In this regard, two men and women who are habitual liars are quite a good match when they get together.

After getting Jimmy's promise, Fiona's expression eased a little. After thinking about it, she decided not to force Jimmy with this matter for the time being. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Just like that, the atmosphere in the house gradually eased.

……

The DEA had caused such a big commotion in this South Side slum, so it was impossible to conceal this matter.

The news spread quickly. Within half an hour, almost the entire South District knew about it. At the same time, all kinds of rumors naturally emerged one after another.

Beto, who was still running away in a hurry, also heard some rumors. He was so angry that he wanted to rush over and have a good talk with those guys who spread the rumors, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Beto had no choice but to continue running.

Time passes quietly.

The sun sets and evening arrives.

The news that the DEA successfully captured Nando was reported on TV.

In the Elber Bar.

Kevin and a group of drunkards were all watching the TV intently, watching the news with great interest.

"Jesus, what is the Brazilian drug lord doing here?"

"The DEA is awesome!"

"With what the DEA is doing, I'm afraid it will be hard for us to buy exclusive products for some time to come."

"????"

"Haha, all the book vendors in our South District are probably scared to death."

"..."

The drunkards had nothing to do, so they started talking at once and making a lot of noise.

About the same time.

Upstairs at the Ritz Hotel.

Estefania, who was just a vase, was having sex with Marco on the sofa when she suddenly heard Nando's name coming from the TV behind her. She stopped immediately and turned to look at the TV.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Estefania's English had indeed improved a lot. She basically understood the news. She immediately pulled herself out and screamed at the TV, "No! No! Papa! No..."

After screaming for a while, Estefania squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Marco sat on the sofa, watching TV, and couldn't stop laughing because of his disagreement with Nando. He even felt that today was a good day.

As for comforting Estefania... that doesn't exist.

Marco just smiled and watched TV, letting Estefania cry.

After crying for a long time, Estefania stopped, wiped her tears, and then quickly stood up and rushed to Marco, asking for help, "Marco, please save my dad, save him..."

Marco wished that Nando would die in prison. There was no point in saving him.

Of course, it is impossible to say this directly.

"Don't worry, honey. I will. I definitely will," Marco lied.

After a few minutes.

Estefania calmed down a little, so, at Marco's request, she sat back on Marco and continued rocking.

The reality is just so outrageous.
-
In the South Side of Chicago, all kinds of things happen all year round, and most people who live here are used to it.

Therefore, by around eight o'clock in the evening, most people had forgotten about Nando's little affair with the DEA.

Those shameless people easily forgot about this trivial matter and returned to their daily lives.

Grocery store.

The same goes for Kathy and Ian.

The two had already had dinner, and by this time, they were basically counting the time, waiting for nine o'clock.

The two agreed to close the door at nine o'clock, then leave through the back door and head straight to the airport.

"Why does time go so slowly today?" Kathy whispered to Ian after looking at the clock on the wall again.

Ian's love brain was working very efficiently. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled at Kaixi in a gay way, "I think so too. Since there are no customers anyway, why don't we just leave?"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

jingle.

The door of the grocery store was pushed open, and Carl and Mickey, who had just returned from get off work, walked in.

Seeing Carl and Mickey, Ian's expression changed slightly, and he became a little nervous. He quickly took a deep breath and said, "Carl, you just got off work?"

Karl came to buy a drink and went straight to the refrigerator. "Well, it's very busy today. In the evening, many people went to the training ground to practice shooting. It seems that they are ready to fxxk the police."

Ian was speechless after hearing this, "....."

Mickey walked forward, looking at Ian with complicated eyes, but said nothing.

"Be careful over there," Ian said to Carl after a moment of silence.

"Got it," Carl replied nonchalantly. Soon, Carl and Mickey each took a bottle of iced drink and stood at the counter to pay.

Mickey took out the money and hesitated for a moment before he spoke to Ian and asked casually, "How's Frank?"

"I'm dying." Unlike the casualness that Mickey needed to pretend, Ian really had no interest in Mickey, and his tone was really casual.

"Congratulations," Mickey said again.

Ian smiled but said nothing.

Seeing Ian like this, Mickey, who was as arrogant as he was, naturally stopped talking. He took the change that Kathy handed over and walked out quickly.

Ian ignored it and just looked at Carl, struggling.

After struggling for a few seconds, just as Carl was about to walk out, Ian couldn't help but spoke, "Carl."

Carl heard it, stopped, and looked back at Ian, "What's wrong?"

"Be sure to be careful next time and don't get hurt," Ian said in a very complicated tone.

Unfortunately, Karl couldn’t understand this complexity, and replied with a decisive smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Looking at the stupid Carl, Ian couldn't help but smile a little, "Also, get along well with Debbie and Lip."

"Okay," Carl replied casually without thinking about anything else.

"Well, that's it, come home quickly," Ian said.

"I'm going to have dinner and then be back," Carl said and left.

Ian was standing behind the counter. At this moment, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any sadness, but it was just a little bit.

But this bit of sadness came to an abrupt end when Kaixi held his hand.

"Everything will be fine, I promise," Kaixi said tenderly.

Ian nodded and gay smiled.

time flies.

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock.

Kathy and Ian, who were already impatient, did not delay at all. They quickly closed the door and turned off the lights. After that, they picked up their luggage and quietly walked out the back door.

A few minutes later.

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight to the airport.

In a blink of an eye, it was past ten o'clock in the evening. Kathy and Ian checked their tickets and boarded the plane one by one.

This was Ian's first time on a plane since he was a child.

Ian couldn't help being curious and excited, and in a very good mood.

Kathy was also in a very good mood, but it was not because of the plane, but because of Ian.

About twenty minutes passed.

The plane taxied slowly, took off and flew towards New York.

***************
2119 North Wallace Street, the Gallagher home.

11pm.

Business as usual.

Carl, Debbie, Liam, and Sammy's mentally retarded son Chuckie sat side by side on the sofa, watching the movie on TV.

Lip was exhausted after a day's work, so he took a shower and lay down on the bed.

Mandy, who almost lives here, is serving Lip in a verbal battle.

Lip enjoyed it, but at the same time, he couldn't help looking at Ian's bed again and again.

His eyes fell on Ian's bed again. Lip couldn't explain why he felt something was wrong, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling really made Lip a little uneasy.

Lip frowned little by little, looking at Ian's bed, his attention further diverted, and he began to think silently.

For a long time.

Suddenly, it really was a flash of inspiration, and Lip suddenly realized what was wrong, and said decisively, "Mandy, stop, something happened."

Mandy, who was busy, was stunned when she heard it and looked up at Lip, "What happened?"

Lip moved quickly, got out of bed, turned on the light, ran to Ian's bed, leaned over and dragged out all the cardboard boxes under the bed in one breath.

Soon, suspicion became reality. Lip's expression changed drastically. "Almost all of Ian's things are gone... He seems to have run away from home!"

Mandy was shocked. "What? Are you sure?"

Lip's scalp couldn't stop tingling, and he raised his hand to scratch his head fiercely, "It's basically confirmed. He hasn't been normal recently. I knew something was wrong, but unfortunately I didn't expect him to be gone."

After saying that, Lip quickly got up, found his cell phone, and called Ian.

As a result, I heard the tone indicating that the other party's phone was turned off.

"Where might he go?" There was no one else in the room and it was very quiet. Mandy heard the prompt tone and asked a little worriedly.

This question hits the nail on the head.

Lip was startled and turned to Mandy, "It's not where he went, but who he went with. Ian is a weak person, it's almost impossible for him to run away without saying a word. He must have gone with someone."

Lip thought of Mickey, "Mickey's home?"

Mandy didn't know, so she didn't waste any time and quickly reached for her phone to call Mickey.

Mickey was watching TV and drinking beer in bed as usual. When he answered the phone, he said in a bad mood, "What?"

"You're home?" Mandy asked.

Mickey was a little impatient, "What kind of stupid question is that?"

Mandy hesitated, then asked, "Is Ian with you?"

When Mickey heard Ian's name, his heart beat faster subconsciously. "Why is he with me? What nonsense are you talking about?"

This was not a definite answer. Mandy was worried about Lip, so she didn't waste any words and asked more emphatically, "Answer me properly! Is he with you or not?!"

Hearing Mandy's tone, Mickey was stunned at first, then he realized something was wrong and sat up immediately, "He's not here! What happened?"

"Ian seems to have run away from home. Lip said Ian must have left with someone," Mandy replied.

Immediately, Kathy's appearance appeared in Mickey's mind.

Ian actually ran off with Kathy, that obviously stupid idiot?

Mickey couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Kathy from the grocery store," Mickey felt heartbroken for two seconds, gritted his teeth and replied.

As soon as this was said, Mandy immediately understood what it meant. "The grocery store is closed now, right? Do you know where Kathy lives?"

Mickey really knew, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Yeah."

"Come to Gallagher's house to pick us up, we'll go to Kathy's house!" Mandy said firmly.

"Fuck off!" Mickey was heartbroken and didn't want to help. "It's none of my business!"

"Coming right up!" Mandy yelled directly, and when she was done, she immediately hung up the phone and said to Lip, "Let's wait outside, Mickey will be here."

Soon.

Lip and Mandy went down to the first floor.

"Where are you going so late?" Debbie saw it and asked curiously.

Looking at Debbie and the other three, Lip thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Ian seems to have run away from home. We plan to go look for him."

Hear this.

Debbie was stunned: "????"

Carl finally shifted his attention from the TV, turned his head, and there was a clear surprise on his face, "???????" (End of this chapter)
