Chapter 25 The Soldier Who Died Two Years Ago—David
The two spent an hour touring the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and then Chen Lu asked Zhou Feng to take her to other tourist attractions in Los Angeles.
Examples include Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, and Disneyland in California.
It took the two of them a full eight hours to finally visit all the tourist attractions.
evening.
Chen Lu stopped at a street-facing milk tea shop with an inflatable snowman doll in front and a red sign that read "Mixue Ice Cream & Tea".
Looking at the familiar, eye-catching decoration, she couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"No, I'm already abroad, so why am I still seeing Mixue Ice Cream?"
"Maybe it's because there's a Luckin Coffee shop across the street."
Zhou Feng was also a little nervous. He pointed to the opposite side of Xue Wang's shop, where there was a coffee shop with a deer logo.
"Hahahaha, you know what, I'm starting to ship them both."
Chen Lu laughed out loud.
Just then, as they were talking, a sound of cursing and hitting suddenly came from not far away.
The two glanced over and saw a female LAPD officer harassing a homeless man.
The policewoman kept patting the homeless man's hat off his head, saying in a disdainful tone:
"I have to get up early to work every day, and what about you? You have hands and feet, yet you choose to beg here? If you really want to eat your fill, get the hell out there and find a job!"
The homeless man sat on the ground, shaking his head with a bitter expression: "I understand, sir, but I have also contributed to this country, I have made sacrifices, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, the policewoman impatiently kicked him, muttering curses as she left.
"FUCK! You're a disgrace to society! You ungrateful wretch! Everything you have is given to you by America, and you don't even know how to be grateful!"
The homeless man took the kick without uttering a sound, but his eyes welled up with tears, and he lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, another man dressed in hippie attire walked over, carrying a box of fast food.
Seeing this, the homeless man earnestly asked, "Sir, could you give me some food? I haven't eaten for three days, and I'm starving."
The man stopped, an incredulous expression on his face.
"What?! What did you say? I didn't hear you."
The homeless man could only speak again, but his voice was much weaker.
"Sir, could you please give me some food? I already have..."
But before he could finish speaking, the hippie poured the scalding hot lunchbox over the homeless man's head with a mocking expression.
"Fuck you! Still hungry? Hmm? I've seen plenty of lazybones like you. You think you deserve a full meal? Get lost, hahahahaha!"
Then he drove off.
Chen Lu's phone captured the entire process.
She was utterly shocked, because such a terrible thing could never happen in the country.
She didn't understand; it wasn't about money, the other person just wanted some food.
That was a living, breathing person!
Are they unwilling to even give them a little food? Why are they so indifferent to their fellow countrymen?
Chen Lu's upbringing did not allow her to pretend not to see it.
So she walked over quickly, with Zhou Feng following closely behind.
The homeless man was leaning against the wall, silently cleaning the food scraps off his body.
This wasn't his first day begging here, nor was it the first time he'd been treated this way; he was already numb to it.
He could almost foresee that death awaited him in the near future, but he would rather die than live like this.
Suddenly, the homeless man felt two more people in front of him.
Looking up, he saw an Asian woman looking at him with concern, and behind her stood a very imposing man in a suit.
His intuition, honed from years of military service, told him that this man was not someone to be trifled with.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The homeless man was taken aback, and asked incredulously, "Madam, are you talking to me?"
Chen Lu found it somewhat amusing upon hearing this.
"What else, sir? Is there anyone else here? You seem to need help. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Upon hearing this, the homeless man couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, and his eyes began to redden.
He could silently endure the beatings, insults, and ridicule from others.
But he instantly broke down when faced with kindness from strangers.
The homeless man said in a choked voice, "Yes, ma'am, I'm so hungry right now, could you give me some food?"
Seeing this, Chen Lu quickly looked around for a convenience store and instructed Zhou Feng:
"Bodyguard, could you please stay here and keep watch? I'm going to the convenience store to buy some food and I'll be right back."
Zhou Feng nodded, watching Chen Lu leave, while simultaneously scanning the homeless man with his snobbish gaze.
[Name: David Jones, Wealth: 0 Gold Coins (Viewable)]
[Personality Tags: (Unyielding) (Perseverance) (Courage)]
[Biography: Originally a U.S. Marine, he fell into a coma during a battle. When he awoke, his unit had already withdrawn. He risked his life to return to the United States, only to find that he had been issued a death certificate by the military, all his identity information was invalid, and he became an undocumented immigrant, currently unable to find work and homeless.]
Zhou Feng was somewhat surprised, not because of his dramatic experiences, since he was no longer surprised by anything that happened in the United States.
What truly surprised him was that this person, who had fallen to such a state of destitution, had never had any thoughts of committing a crime.
You have very sound values, young man.
After learning all about David, Zhou Feng decided to recruit him into his company.
After all, given the other person's resume and character, it would be difficult to find someone like that even in a talent market like Skid Row.
At this moment, Chen Lu also returned with a large pile of food she had bought from the convenience store. She placed it next to David and smiled at him.
"Sir, I think this should be enough for you to last for a while."
David was starving. After saying thank you, he immediately grabbed the food with his hands and stuffed it into his stomach without any regard for his image.
Chen Lu thoughtfully bought him a few bottles of mineral water so he wouldn't choke if he ate too fast.
Seeing the other person wolfing down their food, Zhou Feng, who hadn't spoken for a while, frowned and spoke up:
"Eat slowly. You haven't eaten in a long time, and eating too much at once will make your stomach bloated."
Upon hearing this, David indeed ate much slower.
Seeing him eating so heartily, Chen Lu couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, I don't think you're the kind of person who's too lazy to look for a job, so why are you wandering around here?"
David visibly paused when the topic was brought up.
He quickly swallowed the food in his hand, then thought for a moment before slowly saying:
"You might not believe it, but strictly speaking, I've actually been dead in the U.S. federal system for almost two years."
