Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

It was already late in the night, the dark hour before dawn.

Old Malkin stood at the door of Bonini's restaurant and watched lawyer George's car disappear into the street in the distance.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, put a stack of files under his arm, and walked into the restaurant.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Ludy took the document from Old Malkin under his arm at the door of the restaurant and distributed it to everyone.

In the Bonini restaurant, all the core members of the Sidrich family were sitting.

They are the representatives of the family and the present and future of the entire family.

Nearly two hours ago.

Old Malkin got up from his warm bed and answered a phone call.

He recognized it from the voice. It was Hardman's voice.

The content of the call is very simple!

In accordance with the Anti-Racketeer and Corrupt Organizations Crime Act promulgated by the government in 1970, New York City Hall and the State Assembly negotiated and investigated the current security situation in New York, as well as family gangs that have been entrenched for many years, new drug smuggling gangs, and historical problems in the police files, etc.

It was decided to implement a new revised bill "Anti-Fraud and Corruption Syndicate Crime Act" based on the current situation in New York City!

Malkin Sr. didn't know what Hardman wanted to get from the phone call he gave him.

However, with this call, he had to accept Hardman's love!

in the restaurant.

Old Malkin found a brightly lit place to sit down and flipped through the "Anti-Fraud and Corruption Organizations and Group Crimes Act" promulgated in 1970.

This old bill will certainly be different from the new bill to be implemented in New York City, the Racketeer and Corruption Syndicate Act.

However, the old bill that serves as the basis for the new bill is urgently needed to be understood in detail by the old Malkin and Sidrich families.

George was a big help in this regard!

Old Malkin ignored the mumblings and noises of other members of the family in the restaurant, and calmed down to read the bill carefully, word for word.

After nearly an hour.

Old Malkin put down the document in his hand and looked at the family lawyer who had been sitting next to him.

"We are going to be in big trouble this time!"

The family lawyer nodded and looked at the document in his hand: "This thing has been left to eat dust in the reference room for eight years after it was promulgated. I don't know who dug it out now and caused us such a big trouble."

Old Malkin waved his hand and said: "You should tell everyone what it says. I don't think they can understand this document!"

"Ok!"

The family lawyer stood up, walked to the center of everyone, stood up, cleared his throat, and told everyone the main contents of the bill in the order of the documents.

"What everyone has in hand is an old bill. The new bill that is about to be implemented should not deviate from the scope of the old bill, so there will not be a big difference in content!"

"Let's keep it simple."

"This bill recognizes that behind many seemingly unrelated cases and crimes, there may be a common family gang, or gang forces are behind the scenes."

"Those families and gangs that rely on illegal crimes to gain profits, if the police find evidence that can prove that the family leaders, bosses, supervisors, and leaders hiding behind the scenes are involved in the crime, they will arrest everyone involved. Go to jail for interrogation and investigation.”

Among the people present at Sidrich, one person didn't quite understand what the family lawyer meant. He asked if you could put it more simply.

The lawyer shook the document in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided to explain it in more straightforward terms.

"Let's give an example."

"The police were called to one of your men who was in the middle of a robbery."

"This is the police catching a low-level gang member who is illegally obtaining benefits."

"Then the police only need to prove that this subordinate is yours, and they can come to arrest you and assist them in their investigation."

"If your subordinate was persuaded and induced by them, accepted the favorable guarantee conditions provided by the police, and became a tainted witness."

"You may face the risk of being betrayed, you may be prosecuted by the procuratorate, and you may face dozens or hundreds of years in prison."

"fxxx! My men robbed, why did they arrest me? They have no evidence that the robbery has anything to do with me!"

"That's right! This guy is just messing around! Don't the police follow the law?"

"That's right~ We have no idea what those bastards are going to do. Why should we be blamed?!"

Old Malkin looked at the lawyer standing speechless in the middle, stood up and walked next to him, motioning for him to sit down first.

"Quiet!"

"I called you here in the middle of the night, not to hear you complain and curse the police!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

The Bonini restaurant suddenly became quiet because of old Malkin's voice.

Some people who were still confused just now were also woken up by the shouts.

Old Malkin looked at everyone one by one, raised the bill document in his hand, and whispered: "The lawyer has made it very clear just now."

"Let me reiterate to you the key points here."

"In the future, if the police catch one of your men committing crimes and making profits, and they have enough evidence to prove that this man is one of yours, the police will determine that this is an organized crime, and you will be the boss of the criminal group. ,leader!"

"They will go directly to your home and take you to the police station for interrogation. They can also find more evidence of your crime from your other subordinates to prove your illegal and criminal behavior and send you to prison. inside!"

"You have to listen clearly!"

"One thing that is very important here is that they must have enough evidence to prove that the person caught by the police is your subordinate!"

"Understand?"

"Evidence! That's the point!"

"That's right!" The family lawyer nodded and responded.

Old Malkin adjusted and continued: "The old law has been promulgated for so many years, and the police have been unable to do anything to us. That's why they will come up with a new law this time and use more tricks to collect evidence to prove that we criminal behavior!"

"Also, there is another point I want to say!"

"That means knowing that there are your illegal subordinates, will there be police undercovers among them?"

"If so, it might be difficult for you to escape being captured!"

Old Malkin looked at the lawyer, who nodded and continued: "Because legally speaking, witness is more legally binding than physical evidence."

"If an undercover agent obtains tangible evidence of your crime and you are involved in a certain criminal case, and it can be proven that you are the main messenger and participant in this case, it will be difficult for you to escape!"

"Undercover? I can't have police undercovers under my command!"

"fxxx! Do you mean that every time we do business, we need to check and verify the true identity of our subordinates first?"

Old Malkin rubbed his aching temples with his hands, raised his hands and pressed them down and said to everyone: "I asked you to come here alone in the middle of the night to avoid possible undercover agents among my men. Spying.”

"As for whether you have any undercover agents, you can only find out for yourself!"

"However, from now on, we will suspend all illegal businesses and first look at the future development trend of New York."

"During this period, you must carefully search for evidence of your past violations, deal with them, and do not mention tonight's party to anyone."

"Remember, it's anyone!"

"You can't even talk about this in your sleep!"

"Our Sidrich family will do legitimate business from now on. Didn't David find a good business for everyone, Popular Entertainment Company?"

"If we do this small film business well, we can earn at least tens of millions of dollars in revenue every year. It can make money much faster than taking risks and doing illegal things."

"David once said to me, if you can make a lot of money by doing good things, who will do illegal things?"

"I think this sentence is very reasonable!"

"Also, our stores in the franchise area are all legal businesses!"

"From now on, we will put all our funds and energy into making short films and opening stores. We will not do any other illegal business. The police will not be able to do anything to us!"

Everyone in the restaurant nodded silently.

Ludy stood up, walked to old Malkin, and asked him to sit down and rest first.

Old Malkin is also several decades old.

He stayed up most of the night, following these family relatives who only had age but no brains, telling them earnestly to avoid danger and take the right path. Lu Di felt heartbroken watching from the side!

Lu Di looked around at the silent crowd and said solemnly: "Everyone understands what old Malkin said just now, and I won't repeat it again."

"As for the matter of asking everyone to go back and investigate undercover agents today, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me for help."

"Remember, if you really find undercover agents after you go back, don't rush to kill them. Tell me and I will help you deal with them!"

"From now on, our hands of the Sidrich family can no longer be stained with blood!"

Someone raised their hands and shouted: "What if someone knocks on the door?"

Lu Di bared his teeth and sneered: "Da Security Company is a legal security company, and it now undertakes all legal security businesses!"

"So, if someone wants to cause trouble for us, as long as everyone comes up with some money, the security company will take care of all the trouble."

"And I guarantee that we will use reasonable and legal means to deal with them!"

"You are all shareholders of Popular Entertainment Company now, and the stores in the franchise area are also future money-making machines!"

"As long as you develop these two businesses well, you can be sure to make more money than before without any trouble."

"Be a legitimate businessman and make money openly. In this way, our next generation will also become clean people!"

Everyone kept nodding.

It's exactly what Ludy said.

Now, because of the gradual development of Volkswagen Entertainment Company and the continuous increase in income, everyone sees a bright future for the development of the small film industry!

No one wants to go to jail, and no one wants to go into their old profession and make risky quick money.

Like. .Tom was killed a while ago~!

Is there money to be made from selling drugs?

Nonsense, that’s a huge profit!

But it is also a life-threatening talisman!

Whoever gets involved will die quickly!

----

After more than half an hour.

The sun in the east has risen above the ground.

Old Malkin sat in Ludy's car, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked at the empty street, feeling much better.

"Ludy, over there with David, go and tell him about this."

"If the family really encounters any trouble because of this matter, you tell him that he doesn't need to take care of it!"

"Ok!"

Lu Di nodded in agreement and continued to look at the car ahead.

David, boy, has done enough for the Sidrich family!

He can no longer ask for help and owe favors to solve troubles because of these things.

If these people in the Sidrich family can't solve the troubles around and behind them after today's meeting.

Old Malkin and Ludy will not care about them.

As a family with the same surname, they did everything they should and could do.

The rest is up to them!

Lu Di looked at the rising sun in front of the car and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation in his heart.

The big stone that had been weighing on his heart seemed to disappear in an instant when the rising sun illuminated it.

----

Blue Crystal Hotel.

Laura and Lilith sat on opposite sides of the window sill, covered with thin blankets, looking sideways at the rising sun in the distance.

The two of them sat here all night and talked all night.

They talked about interesting stories about their childhood, about Panaris and Elder, about Giles and Pine, about the old Morgans, about the old butler, and about David Coleman.

But, he didn’t say anything about the future!

The golden-red morning sun spreads the morning light and shines on their faces.

Laura’s still swollen eyes narrowed as she looked directly at the sun.

"Look! It's been a long time since we watched the sunrise together! It's so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it's so beautiful!"

"Lilith, you said we would be together, right?"

"Yeah. No one can keep us apart!"

"Then... will you fall in love with David during these few years when I am not with you?"

"Haha~ What are you thinking about in that little head of yours? David and I are friends, and we will only be friends!"

"Well...he is the friend we want to thank, right Lilith?"

"Yeah~ But I will help him. His plans are very good. Maybe when you graduate, he will really be able to sell you a private jet!"

"Private jet~! That would be a nice gift. Then we can go wherever we want to go!"

"Well, after you graduate, we will take the plane sent by David and travel around the world!"

"Then...is it just the two of us?"

"Yes, just the two of us!"

"That's great!"

"So, we must work hard for this goal, okay?"

"Okay! I'll prove it to you Lilith!"

"No, Laura, you will prove it to everyone!"

"Well, I will definitely surprise David and everyone by then!"

"Okay! I will always be here waiting for you!"

"Lilith, look, the sun is going to be covered by dark clouds."

"It doesn't matter, that cloud just blocked it temporarily, it will pass!"

"Yes~ It will pass. No matter how hard that dark cloud tries, the sun will still rise as usual!"

Lilith turned her head and looked at Laura, gently smoothing the hair around her ears with her hands. A ray of golden-red sunshine shone on Laura's face, making her look particularly charming. .

Lilith's eyes were full of tenderness, and she said silently in her heart: "Grow up quickly, my love! I will always stay by your side!"

----

Manhattan area.

The intersection of 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue.

The lights were still bright in the Wildfire Bar.

Susan, Erica and Martha, all three of them were so tired that they sat slumped in front of the bar, carefully looking at every corner of the bar, giggling.

They really did!

yesterday.

Old Rhett, that bastard black old man, slapped his chest in front of David and promised that the Wildfire Bar could open today.

After Susan called Erica and Martha, the three of them walked around the bar and checked out the missing necessary furnishings, furniture, and supporting facilities. They were speechless for a while. . .

They complained to the boastful Old Rhett, and sent the black old man to run errands and buy a new karaoke machine, new bartending equipment, new bar hygiene products, new bathroom supplies, and new ones. . .

All right. .All the newly purchased things were paid for by Old Rhett, the black old man. .

A total of more than 7000 knives~

When the old man took out the money, the somewhat resentful look in his eyes made Susan, Erica, and Martha wonder how happy and relieved they were!

Live it!

Who allowed him to talk nonsense and not reach out to David for money? !

Susan sat at the edge of the bar, looked at Martha who was so limp on the stool, and then at Erica who was lying on the bar in the bar. Her pair of big white and bright car lights plus her Lying there, she looks like a lazy young woman, which is very tempting~

The Wildfire Bar has reopened, and Susan is ready to talk to her two friends.

"Erica, do you remember that night when the three of us slept together on the bed in David's apartment?"

"Huh? How do you talk about this?"

Martha's eyes darted from side to side, and the flames of gossip began to burn brightly!

Susan supported her head on her elbows and smiled at Erica: "I haven't slept since I came back from David that night. You... too, right?"

Erica opened her eyes slightly, looked at Susan for a while, sighed, shrugged and said, "Well, I didn't sleep either!"

"Then... after I went to the sofa and fell asleep in David's arms, you got up and saw us?"

"Well, I saw it. I saw it when I came back from the bathroom. Martha got up and saw it too."

"Ok?"

Martha's eyes widened. She was a melon-eater, so why did she have anything to do with her?

She hurriedly waved to Susan and said, "Susan, don't get me wrong, I didn't..."

"Haha~ I know Martha~ If I hadn't been one step ahead of you and got into David's arms and became his girlfriend, maybe you would be with him now, wouldn't it?"

"Um...this...that..."

"Okay, you are indeed one step ahead of me! But that doesn't mean you win!~"

Martha's competitive spirit was aroused by Susan's words. She stared directly at Susan without blinking.

Elaka looked at the sisters from side to side in a funny way, playing a cross-eyed game. She waved her hand between the two of them a few times, interrupting their childish behavior.

"Okay, Susan!"

"Well... let's put it this way, in the city of New York, there may be someone who is better at making money than David, is more handsome than David, is more talented than David, and is more popular with women than David."

"But no one can give people a stronger sense of security than him, Susan."

"This kid has been with us for three years. The three of us know very well what kind of person he is!"

"Susan, judging from the way he is infatuated with you, there will never be a better man in New York."

"Of course, there may be men who are better than him, but the chances of us meeting him are so low that they almost don't exist."

When Erica said this, her eyes were as bright as searchlights: "So, I haven't given up yet, Susan!"

"You must keep an eye on David!"

Martha was beside her, indicating that she was on Erica's side, and said to Susan: "I haven't given up yet! You should be more careful!"

Susan looked at the performance of the two people and laughed happily.

"Okay~ I'm waiting for you to snatch him away! Haha~"

The three of them raised their eyebrows at each other and laughed.

They didn't want to lose two friends and partners because of David.

What will happen to them in the future is left to the future.

Now, they have regained the trust of their friends and solved the knot!

So, they are happy now!

After a while.

The three of them left the Wildfire Bar and went back to their respective houses to rest. Erica and Martha were also responsible for the opening of the bar in the evening.

Susan stood on the side of the street, glanced at the leaving figures of Erica and Martha, then turned and walked in the direction of the apartment, still thinking about her advantages over her two friends.

Um. .

Erica, a young woman, as a single mother, has maintained her figure very well, especially her pair of big and round headlights, which she has always been proud of.

She understands men, and she knows how to use her own advantages to seduce and seduce men. She is a strong enemy!

Well Martha. .

Her smile can make people feel happy and warm, and is very unforgettable. However, her figure is not as plump and attractive as Erica. In terms of appearance, David probably won't like her like this.

Thinking of David, Susan walked downstairs to the apartment.

Facing the morning sun, she lowered her head to take a closer look at her long legs, and nodded with a satisfied smile.

David is still very obsessed with long legs, and Susan's long leg treatment has always been David's favorite.

Maybe she can take advantage of this and step up her attack on Boy David!

Um. .

It’s a new day~!

Then start over, a new life!

The golden-red morning light shone on her smiling face, reflecting a fiery red sunrise in her eyes.
