Chapter 41: I’m familiar with this job!
_
After spending over a month in prison in May, Lyndon Schneider carried his luggage and walked out of the prison’s steel gate. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Dix leaning against a car on the other side of the road, smoking.
“Welcome home, Doc!” Dix put out his cigarette and threw it away before walking up to Lyndon Schneider.
“Hey, Dix, how dare you appear here so openly? Aren’t you wanted by the police?” Lyndon Schneider asked in surprise.
More than a month ago, on the night he was sent to prison, he saw another accomplice, Goss, and the broker, Cobby, being taken into custody by the police. He also learned that Cobby had betrayed everyone. Therefore, Dix should also be wanted by the police. Now, he actually appeared so brazenly outside the prison gate. This was too bold, wasn’t it?
“Hahaha, wanted? That was a long time ago. My warrant was withdrawn more than half a month ago,” Dix said proudly as he took Lyndon Schneider’s suitcase.
“What happened?” Lyndon Schneider was confused.
“It’s simple. Cobby confessed, Goss took all the blame, so I’m fine,” Dix said with a hint of sadness. Although he was fine, his good friend Goss had to spend two more years in prison because of this. He still felt uneasy about it.
“Mr. Kane did this?” Lyndon Schneider immediately understood upon hearing Dix’s words. There was probably no one else with such great power besides Josh, who had made him turn himself in.
In fact, he knew very well that he could get out so quickly because of Josh’s help, and he could also eat and drink well in prison.
Originally, he thought it was because he was a friend of Josh’s father, so he received Josh’s care.
Now he knew that Dix also received care.
If that was the case, there were other reasons why this son of his old acquaintance was helping him so much.
“Of course, besides Mr. Kane, who else could it be? He asked me to come pick you up today. Let’s go! Get in the car; I’ll take you to see your new home!” Dix patted Lyndon Schneider’s shoulder and pulled him into the car.
“New home? What new home?” Lyndon Schneider was puzzled.
“Of course, it’s a warm apartment. Do you want to sleep on the street?” Dix joked.
“This is also prepared by Mr. Kane, right?” Lyndon Schneider said. “So you’re working for Mr. Kane now?”
“Of course, generous bosses like Mr. Kane are hard to come by. Look at this car, a Chrysler. How does it feel? Mr. Kane gave it to me!” Dix said, patting the steering wheel proudly.
“It’s a very nice car,” Lyndon Schneider touched the leather seat and nodded.
It was a Chrysler Airflow. Although not considered a luxury car, it was definitely a good car.
“Don’t envy me; you’ll have one too!” Dix laughed.
Dix drove fast and arrived at an apartment building near the north district in about half an hour.
It was only a few blocks from the small apartment where Josh used to live, but it was much more spacious. It was a large apartment of more than 80 square meters. At least for Lyndon Schneider, who was alone, it was already quite big.
“This is the key. You rest well for now. I’ll come pick you up later. To celebrate your release, I’ve prepared a surprise for you. Have you ever heard of the Night Rose? The girls there are extremely hot!” Dix said.
“Dix, all of this was arranged by Mr. Kane, right? Perhaps I should thank him in person!” Lyndon Schneider said. He believed in the principle of no gain without merit. He had just been released from prison and now had a house and a girl. He didn’t feel very comfortable about it.
“Don’t worry, buddy. Just enjoy yourself today. You’ll see Mr. Kane tomorrow.” Dix comforted him.
However, Dix’s words didn’t bring Lyndon Schneider much comfort.
Fortunately, Lyndon Schneider’s unease didn’t last long.
As Dix had said, the girls at the Night Rose nightclub were hot enough to make Lyndon Schneider forget his worries.
When he woke up, it was already almost noon the next day.
And it was also at noon when, under Dix’s guidance, he finally met Josh in a restaurant.
The restaurant was a little small, but it was very clean.
However, it was strange that even though it was mealtime time, there were no customers in the restaurant besides Josh and only one waitress.
“That’s Anna, Louis’s wife. After Louis died, they were left alone. I used my share of the money to buy this restaurant for Anna to run. It’s a guarantee for the mother and son.” Dix explained to Lyndon Schneider, who was puzzled. “We’re closed temporarily because Mr. Kane is coming today.”
Hearing Dix’s explanation, Lyndon Schneider suddenly understood. However, he also realized Dix’s care for this mother and son was probably not ordinary.
But it had nothing to do with him…
“Mr. Schneider seems to be doing well. I heard from Dix that you had four girls. You really are getting stronger with age.” Josh greeted Lyndon Schneider with a smile when he entered the restaurant.
Hearing Josh’s teasing, Lyndon Schneider couldn’t help blushing.
Although he was not young and had a somewhat conservative Bavarian personality, it didn’t prevent him from enjoying himself.
After being in prison for so long, he was prepared to enjoy himself after being released. Unexpectedly, he fell into trouble again and ended up being locked up for over a month. He was already frustrated.
“Mr. Kane is joking. I still have to thank you for your hospitality. I owe you so many favors, and I don’t know how to repay them. Please don’t hesitate to ask if Mr. Kane has anything he wants me to do!” Lyndon Schneider said very respectfully.
If, at first, he only saw Josh as a junior, he now treated him as a truly important person.
“Very good. It seems that Mr. Schneider understands why I did all of this. Therefore, I won’t keep anything from you. The truth is, I need someone who is savvy enough to help me deal with some sensitive goods that I want to sell, and at the same time, I need someone to purchase some goods. As you know, the market in America is tough right now, so I need someone sharp enough to handle these things!” Josh got straight to the point.
Lyndon Schneider immediately understood.
What sensitive goods needed to be sold and purchased.
In other words, smuggling?
He couldn’t have found a better person for the job.
This was his specialty!
