Chapter 0007: Parting Ways

Here in the United States, all the good universities are private, and the tuition fees are extraordinarily high for the working class

The photo taken at the time of adoption was taken when he left the orphanage a month ago

Then you should go back to your father's house to hide for a while, while I transfer to Los Angeles to start anew. If I work hard, I might be able to get into Stanford

To avoid a repeat of this incident, I hope that in the future, he will not be implicated again, ultimately leaving him without even friends.

This ... ... , but Frank's heart truly belongs to Li Changheng. After a moment of hesitation, he revealed a difficult expression of being financially constrained and said,

After being denied entry by the security personnel, they gathered around to inquire about something.

Moreover, in the event of a significant number of student records going missing at the school, the relevant authorities at the school, provided they are not foolish, would never allow two unknown individuals to enter the school and inquire about matters before resolving their own issues

Then she turned and left the room, filled with reluctance and confusion about the future, and exited the building

Frank's mother is undoubtedly a paragon of snobbery, having married her husband's friend merely three months after her husband went bankrupt

Two days have passed, and those homeless individuals seem to be living quite comfortably in the small apartment that he and Frank rented before.

Working while attending university? Frank looked at Li Changheng as if he were a fool and said, "As far as I know, graduating from the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford costs at least 20,000 dollars over four years.

He, who found Frank unreliable, feigned a relaxed demeanor and asked, "Frank, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Changheng climbed into the school from a remote area, watching the school gate, his classroom, and the academic affairs office from the rooftop

Having said that, I thought that Li Changheng was too timid, and besides, I couldn't possibly follow him to university

Is it that you have separated from Li Changheng

Let Frank rent a single room in this building, and that night, Li Changheng went to the school, took away Frank's photo along with many classmates' information, and burned them.

Alright, buddy, send my regards to your parents

Upon a moment's reflection, I came to understand that I was merely an orphan who had completed the formalities to officially leave the orphanage, an orphan for whom no one felt responsible and no one cared.

Reluctantly leaving the school on the fourth day, he was indeed met by two men in suits. When they attempted to enter the school during class hours, they did not present their identification to the security guard

Thank you, Frank looked at Li Changheng for a while, and with a reluctant tone, said again, "Thank you, Henry, thank you for taking care of me over the past month"

Deciding to go to New York to avoid the storm, Li Changheng returned to his residence and asked Frank with a smile, "Buddy, has your mother gone back to France to live with your grandmother?"

Of course, Frank was taken aback for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "If possible, I would like to have steak with scrambled eggs and tomatoes"

Li Changheng was momentarily taken aback. After pondering for a few seconds, he deliberately said, "I still want to go back to school, graduate from university, and find a well-paying and stable job."

After school at 2:30 PM, Li Changheng waited for more than an hour, then walked into his classroom. He originally wanted to express some sentiments, but suddenly realized that in just three days, his desk had actually disappeared.

However, both the train and the Greyhound are slow, and very slow at that. If you are planning to hitch a ride along the way, you might not want to fall asleep and end up missing your stop. It would be better to consider flying, or even purchasing a car for a few hundred dollars.

Thinking of this, Frank hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "I want to go see my father and mother. Would you like to come with me, Henry?"

Fortunately, these two individuals are likely drivers or bodyguards, and the only clues they received from their employer are two names and the identity of a middle school student

In other words, regardless of whether he can get into a good university, the prerequisite is to secure some money

Without a photo and a specific description of the appearance, and not being the police, it is unlikely to obtain useful information quickly

How much effort do you have to put in to graduate

Taking a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles is indeed easy, costing only 5 dollars per person, but getting to New York is a different story

But we do not have enough money, how can we go to France

In four years, we could have partnered together and perhaps already become millionaires

It is important to note that his father, when Frank showed signs of wanting to stop, actually encouraged him to continue his deceitful ways

Seeing two people leave, Li Changheng knew that he and Frank were temporarily safe, but during this period of safety, it was still necessary to avoid the limelight, and it would be best to leave San Francisco directly

The second option is to take the train, or alternatively, the Greyhound bus, with hitchhiking being the third choice

What is so good about meeting such a woman

He went to the orphanage again and took away the only photo from two years ago that he had in his memory, while he left the childhood photos and documents untouched

While deciding to make money on his own, Li Changheng silently contemplated whether to bring Frank along

Fortunately, if handled properly according to the memories in my mind, I should be able to board a free flight

One may want to leave San Francisco for reasons unrelated to this individual, but there is no necessity to do so

Since we are leaving, we might as well go to nearby Los Angeles, or simply head to New York, or to other major cities on the East Coast

Meeting a somewhat cynical middle-aged man, who is also wearing a prairie hat put on by his wife, is certainly not a good thing for Li Changheng

If reality were the same as in the movies, Frank's father would have harbored a lingering resentment after the bankruptcy and divorce, with no outlet for his frustrations

For a distance of 4,700 kilometers, the first choice is undoubtedly an airplane, but a ticket costing several hundred U.S. dollars is equivalent to a month's income for a middle-class individual

"I will," Frank said with a big smile, waving his hand and saying, "See you tomorrow"

The beauty you envision

Frank was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Even if we are suspected by others, is it really necessary to hide in France?"

Seeing Frank with his backpack and carrying his own tote bag, Li Changheng pretended not to notice anything unusual and asked, "Are you coming back tomorrow? If you do, I will prepare dinner for you"

Once Frank's father becomes aware of Li Changheng's existence, whenever Frank encounters any trouble in the future, that old man will surely divert the clues towards Li Changheng, disrupting the focus of the law enforcement agencies

Alright, I will check the nearby market to see if there are any discounted steaks. We will have dinner on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening

Upon hearing this, Li Changheng couldn't help but slap his forehead

It is not a viable solution to just wait like this; starting from the third day, Frank will be assigned to monitor the rental property

then marry a virtuous and beautiful wife, and have a few lovely children

Directly consider what Frank is doing as a means of helping his father seek justice from the bank

"No," Li Changheng shook his head without a second thought. Not only did he have a premonition that Frank wanted to leave, but he also wished to part ways with Frank.

This is not bad either, Frank mused for a moment, and then, just as Li Changheng had anticipated, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I can't do it. If you ask me to go back to studying now, it would be better to kill me."

Upon hearing what was seen at school today, Frank was instantly taken aback and left speechless

Moreover, it has been so many days since I started cashing checks, perhaps those few wealthy individuals who each lost only a few hundred dollars consider themselves unfortunate

Moreover, in addition to the tuition fees for university, one must also spend money to change the high school records in order to transfer to another state and apply for university admission qualifications as a high school student

In the newly rented house, Li Changheng, observing the efficiency of the American police, felt disappointed once again

Frank, caught off guard by the question, who had never really thought about what he wanted to do in the future, scratched his head and replied, "What do you want to do? I will just follow you."
