Chapter 0002 Approaching Little Li Zi

Having said that, Li Changheng patted his pockets and said, "I am so poor now that I don't even have a single dollar

Li Changheng secretly smiled to himself, but put on a thoughtful expression on his face. After about ten seconds, he finally revealed a look of sudden realization

The convenience of traveling around the world without any real travel records has defrauded at least 4.5 million dollars in cash from various places around the globe

Listening to Li Changheng's words, Frank, who had never thought about making money despite the family's impending bankruptcy, murmured with a gloomy expression, "I also want to make money"

Sixteen-year-old Frank has a premonition that if the family's financial situation does not improve, his parents may suddenly get divorced one day

Taking Li Changheng to a quieter part of the school, I asked softly, "What do you need to borrow money for to go to Chinatown?"

In just over two years, one could produce genuine checks that are identical to those issued by banks.

Thinking of this, as soon as school was dismissed at 3:00 PM, Li Changheng shouldered his backpack and intended to visit Chinatown in San Francisco

Frank looked up and down at Li Changheng a few times, and saw that the tall, somewhat thin man with black hair, although he appeared quite handsome like himself, was indeed dressed very ordinarily

Li Changheng smiled as he released Frank, took a step back, and formally introduced himself, saying, "Henry Li, with the Chinese name Changheng Li"

Moreover, in 5 months I will turn 18, and I must move out of the welfare institution to make a living on my own

Although newly immigrated Chinese may not have a high income, having a job at least ensures that they will not go hungry

However, looking at Frank on the podium, who was wearing a serious expression and continuing to play the role of a teacher, Li Changheng suddenly thought that although his appearance was that of a foreigner, he had no issues with reading and writing in Chinese.

As I walked to the school gate, looking at the bus stop not far away, I reached into my empty pockets and suddenly cursed inwardly.

Although borrowing money is unpleasant, if it is repaid promptly and with interest, it becomes a different matter. Moreover, as Frank said, it is the protagonist's life at stake; who knows when it might be needed in the future

Li Changheng secretly laughed to himself, just by looking at your face that doesn't even have a beard, I can tell.

Even if your family goes bankrupt, at least you do not have to worry about food, do not have to worry about pocket money, and certainly do not have to worry about being kicked out by welfare officials when you turn 18, ultimately ending up with no place to live

Ding ding ding ... ...

"Are you treating me like a fool, or are you the fool for being an unpaid substitute teacher?"

Frank quickly extended his hand to shake hands with Li Changheng, "Frank Abagnale"

Even though there are very few Chinese tutoring classes these days, and there may not even be any specialized Chinese training institutions in San Francisco, many Chinese immigrants definitely have a need to learn English

Since the family's financial situation deteriorated, they moved from a large villa with a garden to a 50 square meter two-bedroom apartment. His father took on a part-time job, doing any work that paid, while his mother, overwhelmed by the drastic change in lifestyle, spent her days smoking and drinking in despair

As for now, not only do I lack the funds to hire a lawyer, but even if I had the money for legal fees and the time and energy to engage in a lawsuit, it would be better to consider using that money to start a business

Borrow from Frank

It was not right. Seeing the rolled-up sleeves and the noticeably long hem of the garment, Frank suddenly understood that this outfit must have been donated to the orphanage by someone else

Frank was taken aback, and then he became angry as if someone had touched a nerve.

It would also be better to move out of the orphanage earlier, to avoid having one's soul changed and being discovered by others.

Until one reaches a point of desperation, who would think of engaging in illegal activities such as counterfeiting checks

Being able to speak Chinese is a significant advantage, and since my late adoptive parents were of Chinese descent, there is no need to find reasons to explain why I speak Chinese

However, Frank is still a 16-year-old boy whose life, although not affluent, appears to be quite fulfilling, with no worries about food and drink.

With a hint of embarrassment on her face, she said, "I apologize, I... I did not know you were an orphan"

Are you an orphan

Rather than thinking about the house, it is better to consider how to earn some money for food

Indeed, upon hearing the mention of money, Frank fixed a wary gaze on Li Changheng; however, with leverage in someone else's hands, he did not dare to refuse outright

Moreover, if he were not genuinely white, he would likely have been driven away at around the age of 16

Li Changheng smiled and took the initiative to explain, "It is probably because I have a head of black hair; I was adopted by a pair of Chinese elderly couple from the age of 5 to 10."

In just over a year, Frank scammed approximately 1.2 million dollars in cash on both the East and West Coasts of the United States

Unfortunately, after the passing of my adoptive parents, I was informed that the adoption procedures were incomplete, and I was not qualified to inherit their estate, and could only return to the welfare institution

"What can a ten-year-old orphan do?" Li Changheng shrugged indifferently, "It would be good enough to return safely to the welfare home."

Frank was taken aback and asked in surprise, "How did you know I am a student?"

What do you know again

Then have you never considered hiring a lawyer

Unfortunately, Frank pondered for a long time, and Li Changheng also anticipated for a long time, yet neither of them heard about Frank's plan to create a counterfeit check, which led them to shake their heads in quiet regret

Then, out of curiosity, I took a few glances at Li Changheng's face, wondering in my heart why a person with a Caucasian appearance had an Asian name

I did not mean to mock you, after all, I am an orphan who can only attend school and eat through the support of welfare institutions and social assistance

Li Changheng bent down to look at the middle-aged woman in the car and immediately recognized her as Frank's mother. She must have come to pick him up from school out of concern that he would not adapt well on his first day of transferring.

I suddenly felt that I was much happier than this person in front of me who could see right through me

Thus, upon being reminded by Li Changheng, he also began to think about earning money to supplement household expenses or to have pocket money without having to ask his parents.

Wait a moment, buddy, you really have some nerve, transferring schools and daring to impersonate a teacher, then playing tricks on that fat school bully who mocked you as a 'rich kid'

Frank kindly said, "What if someone else is bullying you because you are too small and is deceiving you for your inheritance"

After noticing him at FB1, he was able to fly for free on various airlines by disguising himself as an airline pilot

Is there any need to guess this?

I definitely have to go, take a look around, and see if I can borrow one dollar from that classmate. Then I saw Frank walking out of the school, waving at a car by the roadside

Walking to Chinatown, a distance of about 10 kilometers, would take at least two hours on foot. The round trip would require four hours, and when adding the time spent looking for part-time work in Chinatown, it indicates that he would miss the dinner at the welfare home

As Frank just exited the teaching building, Li Changheng quickly walked into the school and quietly asked him, "Hey, Frank, can you lend me some money for the bus to Chinatown?"

It does not matter, we did not know each other before

"Relax, buddy," Li Changheng said with a smile, using his height advantage of 178 centimeters to place his hand on Frank's shoulder, who is 170 centimeters tall

Yet they said, "Wearing the uniform of a private school to our place, you must be a transfer student, and moreover, a transfer student whose family is facing financial difficulties"

As the class bell rang, the two individuals had no choice but to hurry back to the classroom
