Chapter 5827
The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Chapter 5827
At noon, when Charlie was sitting alone in a Sichuan restaurant in
Chinatown eating,
Two Immigration Bureau police cars suddenly stopped in front of the hotel with their lights flashing
silently.
Charlie saw everything but pretended not to care and continued to eat with his head down.
At this time, several police officers rushed in quickly,
Took a photo to compare the guests in the hotel,
And suddenly rushed to Charlie and asked loudly:
âAre you Yechen who smuggled himself to the United States from Malaysia?â
Charlie raised his head, shook his head innocently, and said,
âNoâ¦â
The policeman checked the photo again,
Then sneered and said to his colleagues next to him,
âThatâs him, take him away!â
As soon as he finished speaking, several policemen rushed towards him.
He came forward, twisted Charlieâs arms to his back, and then cuffed him.
Charlie pretended to struggle for a few times.
When the other party made a gesture of touching the gun,
He quickly calmed down and stopped struggling.
The police then handcuffed him,
Took him out of the hotel and put him in the back of one of the police cars.
The police car roared all the way and headed straight to the immigration office.
At this time, the police officers did not know anything about Charlie.
They only knew that their superiors informed them that a Malaysian illegal immigrant,
Suspected of multiple thefts appeared in a restaurant in Chinatown,
And asked them to seize the opportunity to arrest him.
After several people took Charlie back to the immigration office,
They confiscated his Malaysian passport,
A worthless old mobile phone and more than two hundred US dollars in cash.
After checking the identity information in the passport,
The Immigration Bureau confirmed Yechenâs identity as an illegal immigrant in Malaysia.
Afterward, Charlie was temporarily put into the detention room of the
Immigration Bureau,
Waiting for the next step.
When Charlie came to the detention room, there were already at least twenty people in the small
detention room.
These people had different skin colors, and each one looked very decadent and frightened.
Seeing Charlie come in, these people all looked at him.
Then, an Asian man with a scruffy beard asked him in English with a strong accent:
âAre you Japanese?â
Charlie shook his head:
âI am Malaysian, my parents are Chinese.â
Another Asian-looking man with short hair immediately asked excitedly when he heard this:
âBrother, I am Chinese, we are half-compatriots!â
Charlie nodded and asked, âHow did you get in?â
The short-haired man smiled and laughed at himself:
âHow else could I have gotten in?â
âI was caught cheating. Have no identity, have no income,â
âPeople robbed me of everything on the road.â
âI didnât have a place to stay when I came to the United States.â
âI set up a tent in the park every day, and the tent was stolen too.â
âI wanted to steal a bicycle to deliver food, but I was caught by the police and now I am here.â
Charlie frowned: âYou came in through the wires.â
âLogically, you should go to Los Angeles,â
âWhich is closer to Mexico. Why did you come to New York?â
The short-haired man patted his thigh:
âBrother, you know the stuff too!â
âDid you also come in through a wire?â
Charlie shook his head: âI came by boat.â
The short-haired man was a little disappointed and sighed:
âItâs better for you to take the boat.â
âYou boarded the boat from your hometown and wandered around for a few months.â
âUnlike us who are walking the line, this journey has been so damn hard.â
âItâs not an exaggeration to say, buddy, itâs not an exaggeration to say that I will lose my skin even if
I donât die.â
At this time, someone in the crowd muttered:
âItâs a waste to take a boat, walking the line.â
âAt least you have to stand on the ground the whole time.â
âYou may have to swim the last kilometer of the boat.â
âThere were more than 60 people on the boat, and only half of them made it ashore.â
âThe rest donât know where the waves took them.â
When the short-haired man heard this, shrank his neck and sighed:
âAnyway, I really regret it.â
âThis place is not a fcking paradise on earth.â
âIt is simply a purgatory on earth.â
âThe liar agent told me before I came that I would just wash dishes when I arrive here.â
âJust by doing that, I can earn seven to eight thousand dollars a month.â
âWhen I came here, in the Chinese restaurant,â
âEight people rush to wash a bowl.â
After that, he said to Charlie: âBrother, didnât you ask me why I didnât go to Los Angeles?â
âIn fact, it was Los Angeles that I first went to.â
âAfter arriving from Mexico, a large group of us rushed to Los Angeles first.â
âAfter we arrived, we discovered that there were no jobs with such high wages.â
âAll the agencies were full. I slept on the street there for more than ten days.â
âI could only eat some relief food every day. The relief food was barely enough to make me one-
third full.â
âThen I slept on the street. A guy I met said the competition in Los Angeles is so dmn fierce,â
âWhy not come to New York and try your luck.â
Charlie asked curiously: âItâs so far from the west coast to the east coast,â
âHow did you get here?â
The short-haired man chuckled: âI came by train. , itâs so dmn far away,â
âThanks to following a few homeless Americans,â
âThey ran around on the train all day long,â
âSo we followed all the way to New York, and our hands were all empty;â
âAfter coming to New York, I really lamented how prosperous New York is.â
âIn such a big city, there is always a place for me to stay, right?â
âThen I thought about finding a job in Chinatown, and I found a job,â
âDelivering food from a Chinese restaurant.â
âBut I didnât have a car, so I couldnât deliver it on my legs,â
âSo I tried stealing a bicycle, and I got arrested.â
Charlie smiled slightly and said, âThen what are your plans next?â
The short-haired man said melancholy: âHow do I know?â
âItâs not worth being imprisoned for what Iâve done.â
âDonât you know that prisons are almost overcrowded?â
âIf illegal immigrants commit petty theft, they will most likely be imprisoned for a few days.â
âI am released. I originally thought they could send me back,â
âBut it turns out they are too lazy to take care of it now.â
âAfter I am released, I have to sleep on the streetâ¦â
âI wish I had known that this place was such a sgumbag.â
âI would have been killed. I wonât come either.â
