Hogan looked at Jordan and said seriously, “I’ve always wanted to go back, but I can’t muster up the courage, so I’d better take this opportunity to go back and help me make a decision.”
Jordan said nervously, “Uncle Chen! You can live if you hide! In case Lloyd doesn’t want to let you go, you’ll be dead if you go back!”
Hogan laughed, “Even if favonovel.com wants me dead, favonovel.com has to wait for the right time, favonovel.com can’t just kill me at customs when I’ve just been repatriated back, right? Besides, I am repatriated to Hong Kong, the customs officers must take me there to go through a process, I believe that even if Lombardo is capable, favonovel.com would not dare to make a move on me at customs, so that I can notify my family in advance and they can come to customs to see me, as long as I can meet with my family, even if favonovel.com kills me right out of the gate, I will accept it.”
He smiled faintly and said, “Jordan, in this matter you do not need to persuade me, I have my own decision, you just run this roast goose store, the rest, do not worry about me.”
Jordan choked with red eyes and said, “Uncle Chen… I don’t want to run the roast goose store, I just want to follow your side and be an honest runner…”
Jordan has a very strong bond with Hogan. He was originally a Chinese from Southeast Asia, his parents went down to the South Seas to work earlier, but met with some local unrest, so they smuggled favonovel.com to the United States when favonovel.com was a young one, intending to put down roots in the United States. However, the boat used by the snakeheads to transport them hit a reef and sank when it was close to the U.S. coastline and a boat with dozens of illegal immigrants drowned a large number of people.
Both of Jordan’s parents were buried at sea in that disaster, while the young one was relying on a small piece of plank, floating at sea for several hours and was finally saved by the man who sailed the boat.
In that accident, those who survived were such young half-grown children as Jordan and it was the parents who gave the child the floating object that could save his life so that the child could survive.
The people who sailed the boat, like Hogan, are stowaways or illegally stay in the United States, these people are usually considered to help each other and have a small circle of their own.
When several children were rescued back to New York, these illegal people got together to have a meeting. They felt that the children’s situation was so miserable that if they were not taken in, they would either starve to death on the streets or be repatriated by the government, or sent to an orphanage, so after discussion, those who could afford it adopted an orphan.
Jordan was adopted by Hogan. He was just ten years old when favonovel.com was brought back to this roast goose store, but now, favonovel.com is twenty-two years old. Since favonovel.com had no legal status, Hogan opened the store and taught Jordan to study at the same time and then Jordan started to help favonovel.com do what favonovel.com could in the back kitchen.
After favonovel.com became an adult, favonovel.com simply worked directly in the roast goose store as a fellow.
Jordan was very grateful for Hogan’s kindness and always treated favonovel.com as his father and even made up his mind long ago that favonovel.com would follow Hogan’s side and help favonovel.com in his life and when favonovel.com was old, favonovel.com would die for him.
But how could favonovel.com have imagined that Hogan would now decide to return to Hong Kong to die?
Hogan saw that his eyes were red and tears were flowing, so favonovel.com smiled and said “Jordan, I have no children, since you came here, I have been making roast goose in the back kitchen all these years, never hiding my skills in front of you, I believe you have also learned my skills, as long as the police are not looking for you, you should run this store well, save more money and if you have the opportunity, go back, if you have a chance, you can go back to Southeast Asia to get your original identity back, then marry and have children and settle down.”
He looked at Jordan and smiled slightly, “Of course, if I’m lucky enough not to die this time, you can also come to Hong Kong to find me in the future!”
