In a private clinic, a somewhat elegant doctor with glasses walked in from the outside with a report in his hand, sat behind his desk, looked at Dietrich in front of him, and whispered, "Miss Duffy, your guess is correct, you are indeed pregnant!"

Dietrich's face turned pale in an instant, and she was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, she said with some bitterness: "Will this test be wrong?"

"No, I don't think so. The doctor looked at the girl in front of him with some sympathy, although this matter was not satisfactory, it could only be so.

"Thank you. After thanking her, Dietrich picked up her handbag and coat and walked out.

Outside the gate, Barbus had been waiting for Dietrich, and when she saw her come out, she quickly asked, "How is it?"

Dietrich's face was pale, and she just glanced at Barbass before walking out. Seeing her best friend's appearance, Barbass already knew the answer, and after a moment of silence, she whispered: "If you want to do that, I have someone I know." ”

Standing in the middle of the street, Dietrich sighed for a long time, without saying a word, looking at the passing vehicles, Barbaas hurriedly helped her through the street, for fear that she would not be able to think about anything for a while.

When Liang Dong left the police station and came to Old Paton's house, the old housekeeper had already sent Rosemary away, and at this time, Liang Dong was brought in.

"Mr. Parton. Liang Dong glanced at the housekeeper standing at the door and said, "We need to talk alone." ”

Old Patton hesitated a little, then said to the butler, "Monk, let us be alone for a while." ”

The butler had always been unhesitant to carry out Old Paton's orders, he glanced at Liang Dong and closed the door directly. But through the gaps in the doors and windows, you can still see the back of the monk standing in the doorway.

Liang Dong walked to Old Paton and sat down, lit the cigar in his hand, and asked with some curiosity: "Is the monk really dumb, does he have a time to speak?"

Old Patton smiled, looked at Liang Dong deeply, and then said: "The monk is not dumb, he only speaks to me, so he makes him very valuable." ”

No one could have imagined that this was the case, almost everyone thought that the monk was mute, and sometimes he spoke a little unscrupulously in front of him, but he did not expect that the truth turned out to be the opposite, and the old Paton's scheming was really deep.

Liang Dong turned a few thoughts in his mind, but his face was still calm, and he even chuckled and said, "If you say too much, you will lose, right?"

"Almost!" Old Parton looked at Liang Dong, and suddenly felt interested in speaking, and he asked, "Have you ever joined the army, Terry?"

"Navy, what about you?" Liang Dong unbuttoned his shirt and looked at Old Parton with some curiosity.

"In the Second World War, I was in the 69th combat detachment. Speaking of this, old Parton looked proud.

"Just like James Carnig?" Liang Dong smiled lightly, James Carnig is the actor in the movie "Battle Sixty-Six".

"We did have a guy like Plunkitt here, but he didn't end up being a hero, and we made sure of that. Old Paton's last words meant a lot.

Liang Dong was not surprised by this, he smiled and said, "I think so." So you must know Father Duffy?"

"He's a hero indeed!" said Old Parton with reverence, "I still have a part to put his statue on Times Square!"

Father Duffy was a military priest in the U.S. Army during World War II and played an important role in the army's victory.

"Always doing good deeds for the neighbors!" Liang Dong looked at Old Paton's eyes, mixed with a hint of abuse and ridicule.

Perhaps because of his age, old Paton was a little sensitive, and he sneered and said, "Of course, young man, don't forget. ”

Sensing that there was something wrong with his attitude, the smile on Liang Dong's face retracted, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not joking, I'm sincere." Remember, I was a student at Holy Cross High School when the Catholic Youth Organization donated the new uniforms, and over the years I saw you distribute local chickens on Thanksgiving and gifts on Christmas. Like most people who live here, I admire your good deeds. ”

Although Old Parton is the gang boss of the Lower Forest District, he is really good in some aspects, at least in the entire Lower Forest District, except for some crazy madmen, most people are working hard to make money, even the underworld. There's no bullet in the streets in broad daylight, and it's so much better here than on the Lower East Side.

Hearing Liang Dong say this, Old Parton couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart, but this emotion was quickly restrained by him, and he only heard him say in a deep voice: "Terese, you didn't come to me today just for this, tell me how much you admire me?"

"Partially. Liang Dong nodded, and said sincerely: "I know that you are a very smart person, you have been in business for a long time, and you have hardly made any mistakes, which is why you have been able not to be arrested, and everyone else has more or less had the experience of being locked up." ”

"Stop talking nonsense. Old Parton interrupted what Liang Dong was saying, looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Let's get down to business, Mulden, why did you come to me?"

"Because of your son Rasti. Liang Dong stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Unlike you, he made some very serious mistakes. ”

"Mind going into details?" said Old Paton, looking impatient, "I don't want you to mention that fictional war again. ”

"In addition to the other things he does, he also hides some business from us, and I hide it from you. Liang Dong said in a cold voice: "We found a gay bar he opened, and we know that it has two other places, and I know that he must have other actions in private." So before we arrest him, I thought, out of respect for you, that I should tell you. ”

"You're wrong, I know about gay bars, and I told Rasti to tell you and add them to the list. At this point, Old Parton looked apologetic, and he said sincerely: "I think it was my mistake, and I should have talked to you about it personally." Okay, you tell me how much the two bars are going to take a cut, and I'll take care of it. ”

"Hehe!" Hearing Old Paton's words, Liang Dong couldn't help laughing angrily, and said coldly: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense, believe that you know the existence of those gay bars, but you don't mind?"

Old Parton nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I want you to believe it, because it's true." ”

This old fox, Liang Dong scolded fiercely in his heart, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Paton, let me tell you what the facts are. The fact is that from now on, the cooperation between us will end, and the cooperation between you and your organization and me, as well as the police department, will also end. I came over today, hoping to talk to a sane person, but it's clear that I misjudged you. ”

"Yes. Old Parton looked straight at Liang Dong and said very calmly: "This is true, you really misjudged me." ”
