Chapter 43 Escape from New York

After the three left the police station, they temporarily separated.

Alone, Lu Nian hurried back to Mrs. Henry's home.

Tom and Jerry went straight to the construction site to explain the situation to Smith and asked for help by the way.

Lu Nian didn't take the car, but ran back home directly.

When Lu Nian returned home, it was past six o'clock.

Mrs. Henry was sitting on a chair with a worried face, waiting for Lu Nian to come back.

"Squeak!"

Hearing the door open, Mrs. Henry gave a "squeak" and stood up from her seat.

"Xiao Nian, is that you?"

"Mrs. Henry! I'm back!"

"Xiao Nian, why did you come back so late today?"

"Mrs. Henry, I'm coming back to say goodbye to you! In the future, I will be on a business trip, not in New York."

"Ah!? Didn't you just tell me that you resigned? Why are you going on a business trip again?"

"I thought about it, and I'd rather not resign for the time being. Mr. Smith arranged for me to have a more important job, so I need to travel for a while. Mrs. Henry, you must take care of yourself during my absence."

"Alright! Xiao Nian, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"If it's fast, it's one month! If it's slow, it's hard to say. After all, I get a high salary, and I need to do more things."

"I see. Do you need to prepare anything? Your clothes..."

"No need to prepare anything! Mrs. Henry, I'm leaving now! You must take care of yourself!"

"Xiao Nian, are you in such a hurry?"

"Well! My partners are still waiting for me! I'm going to join them right now!"

"Okay! Xiao Nian, pay attention to safety on the road! If possible, come back early!"

"I will! Mrs. Henry, I'm leaving, you... take care of yourself!"

When Lu Nian said this, her nose turned sour, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Henry tightly.

"Xiao Nian! What's wrong with you?"

"No! Nothing!"

Lu Nian let go of Mrs. Henry, wiped away her tears, then turned around and left Mrs. Henry's house without looking back.

Lu Nian didn't know when he would come back after leaving tonight.

Mrs. Henry seemed to feel something, but before she could say it, Lu Nian had disappeared into the night.

Lu Nian rushed to the construction site as quickly as possible.

Tom and Jerry managed to stop Smith before he got off work.

However, the communication between the two parties was not very harmonious.

When Lu Nian felt it, he clearly felt the tense atmosphere at the scene.

"Mr Smith!"

"Lu Nian? You're here!"

"Mr. Smith, Tom and Jerry should have told you what happened. Mr. Smith, can you help us?"

"Sorry, I can't."

"why?"

"You three escaped from the police station. If I help you, I will get into trouble."

"Mr. Smith, I don't want to embarrass you either. We just want to find a safe place to hide for a while. We will come out after the limelight passes."

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"Mr. Smith, please look at..."

"Lu Nian, don't say anything! I know everything! But I really can't help you! I have a wife and children, and I absolutely can't ruin my future because of this!"

"Mr. Smith, we don't ask for much! You just need to provide us with a hiding place!"

"impossible."

"Mr Smith......"

"Lv Nian, Tom, Jerry, the three of you are no longer from the construction site, please leave immediately! I'm going home from get off work too!"

"Mr. Smith, do you really want to be so heartless?"

"It's not that I'm unfeeling, but that the three of you have caused trouble that shouldn't be caused."

Smith wanted to be wise and safe, and refused to help Lu Nian and others no matter what.

"Boss, forget it! It is impossible for him to help us."

"But......"

"Boss, let's act according to the original plan."

Lu Nian glanced at Smith with complicated emotions, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Hey! All right! Tom, Jerry, let's go!"

Smith looked at the backs of Lu Nian, Tom, and Jerry who were going away, feeling very uncomfortable.

"If you didn't offend the police, I really want to help you! Hey! I'm sorry, Lu Nian, please forgive my selfishness! I'm a family man!"

Outside the construction site, the three started a negotiation.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"Let's go! Leave New York temporarily! I still have tens of thousands of dollars with me, enough for us to find a place to live peacefully for a while."

"Great!"

After hearing Lu Nian's words, Tom and Jerry immediately felt relieved.

The three of them left as soon as they said they would, without any delay.

The closest city to New York is Newark in the southwest.

However, considering that Newark is too close to New York, Lu Nian did not choose this place as his foothold.

There are two cities a little farther away from New York, one is Philadelphia in the southwest of New York, and the other is New Haven in the northeast of New York.

After some deliberation, the three decided to take refuge in Kenton County, Philadelphia.

But before leaving New York, the three of them had one more thing to do.

"What???!!! Kill Xx? Are you two crazy?"

"Boss, this is what we agreed at the beginning. Lincoln gave us the key, and we will help him kill Aix."

"Boss, how about this, you go to Kenton County alone to arrange a place to live, and Tom and I will arrive later!"

"No! I can't let you two go!"

"Boss, there are rules on the road. Since Lincoln helped us, we must pay him back this time."

"Yes! So boss, you should go alone first!"

"He's inside the police station, so it's impossible for him to know what's going on outside!"

"Boss, Lincoln stayed in the police, and he arranged it himself."

"what???!!!"

"Boss, you don't understand the things on the road. In short, we must kill Aix, otherwise, our end will be worse than jailbreak!"

Hearing this, Lu Nian pondered for a moment.

"Tom, Jerry, I'm going with you two!"

"Boss! No! You must not do it! This kind of thing, let the two of us do it!"

"Who said I was going to do it?"

"Then what are you doing with us?"

"I'll be your bodyguard for the two of you. I won't take the initiative. But if someone wants to kill you, I will protect your safety."

Lu Nian used this method in exchange for his own peace of mind.

When Tom and Jerry heard this, their expressions of gratitude were beyond words.
