Chapter 774 Humble
Director Jose's nickname is "Greedy Pig."
As the name suggests, Fat Pig is naturally because of Director Jose's fat body that makes anyone frown when they see it.
But even so, women who are willing to climb onto Director Jose's bed can line up a hundred-meter-long queue, and most of these women come from good families - because he is the head of the city's official violence agency.
Foreign media have joked more than once that the police in this country are more violent and dark dictators than the gangs who live a bloody life.
Director Jose obviously interpreted the remarks of the foreign media very well.
In fact, 13 years ago, Director Jose did not exist as a greedy giant.
However, after an operation called UPP began, and the country's violent agencies liberated many slums in a so-called "bloodless" way, this was the stage when the "greedy fat pig" took off.
As for why, of course it was for a certain World Games that was just held not long ago.
In order to make people feel that the safety factor of this country, especially this city, is not as bad as reported by the media in the eyes of the world, this country's political system has used all its magic weapons - of course, the results are still very impressive.
As for whether such an effect can last forever, that's a matter of opinion.
But for Director Jose, those are irrelevant things - because his wealth has accumulated to an astonishing level, even if he throws away his official position, he can become a generous and wealthy man abroad. Continue to enjoy life as much as you want.
However, Director Jose, who has been going smoothly, has been obviously very irritable these days. For example, the hot secretary in front of the office was kicked out just a few minutes ago with a pale face.
You know, Director Jose is the secretary who enjoys having this hot body the most.
Looking at the wronged secretary, everyone just pretended not to see it. A plaything that is no longer pampered naturally has no value in currying favor. As for why Jose was so agitated, I think it was because of the intensive murders that had occurred in the past few days.
From gang bosses to local councillors, as well as important business people in the economic field, those who have died in the past few days are all people with huge energy. The anger behind this is probably due to this "greedy fat pig" "There is no way to bear it.
At this time, the fat Director Jose suddenly opened the office door. Just as everyone was wondering whether Jose was going to walk out sideways or directly, the tyrant-like Director had already said in a buzzing voice: "The Speaker is going to watch the performance at the Municipal Theater tonight, and I have taken all the safety measures! If something goes wrong, I won't make it easy for you!"
The Speaker is a real big shot in this country. No wonder Director Jose is in such a bad mood at this time - I am afraid that the frequent murders of important people usually make the country's top bosses vaguely uneasy.
……
……
"The theater stops at——!"
A hollow prompt came from the bus, and Caroline leaned against the window and glanced at the Municipal Theater outside the bus. This completely splendid building was so dazzling that Caroline looked back with a little discomfort.
I just accidentally saw a few police cars parked here, which caught Caroline's attention - the police even started to put up a cordon here.
Maybe some big shot is coming here tonight?
In my impression, this theater is used to hold some cultural activities that highlight the country, and it has also hosted programs such as the "XX Music Festival" for a long time.
Caroline shook her head.
Although she can turn into an elegant lady in an instant in order to take care of the needs of her guests, there is actually no change on the inside - of course, when the man tears open her clothes, the so-called elegance is naturally gone.
So she only had one idea about the place where upper-class nobles used to show themselves: When will she have the money to buy this place as big as a castle and live in it?
The passengers in the car obviously noticed the police presence at the theater as did Caroline, but there was no discussion. Small citizens don't care about national affairs... What's more, she is still a practitioner walking on the edge of the law?
Later the bus passed through a closed section of road.
A high wall was built on one side of the road, completely blocking the view over there. Caroline looked at these long walls with some boredom - such walls were naturally not used for defense.
Its only function is to block the scene on the other side of the wall - yes, on the other side of the wall is the place where she grew up, a place of chaos.
Caroline sneered. Everyone in the car had become accustomed to it, and it seemed to be innocuous.
"...Hospital, here -!"
Caroline got out of the car and looked up at this medical facility, which was probably the best building in the city. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the sunlight reflected on the dense glass, causing Caroline to frown. Only the cold air wafting from the front of the hospital made her feel more comfortable.
"I want to make an appointment... um, internal medicine." Caroline walked directly to the crowded front desk.
It took her more than half an hour to get her number, but by the time it was her turn, it was probably already afternoon. Caroline thought for a while, then walked straight towards the inpatient department.
The main reason for coming to the hospital this time was to do a detailed examination - she didn't know if her fertility was gone, but at least she wanted to understand her physical condition. Even if this thing was taken away from her in the future, she would not come back for another examination. , at least we know what went wrong.
As for walking to the inpatient department, it was naturally for a visit.
She is not a young musician who is talented but blind or has disabled legs. Because Caroline is not Cinderella in fairy tales, there is no such encounter in romance novels. Originally, Caroline has never believed in love. Something that can be consumed.
He's not the kind of lover who makes for bloody movies, and naturally he's not a sick relative either.
It's even less likely that she adopted a child who was terminally ill and needed to be cared for by a hospital to survive when her head was caught in a door panel. Even if such a thing happened, Caroline felt that she would definitely end up... I gave up because of the high medical bills.
For someone who is not a relative, but just a baggage that was picked up in a moment of kindness, she has to use some of her savings and even bear debts...Caroline thinks that her soul has not been sublime by chance. That level of greatness.
"It's just a colleague who is about to die..."
The Orioles in the area habitually call her Nia, including Caroline. Nia is more than twice as old as Caroline, in her mid-thirties. A woman of this age is usually at the level of an aunt even if she doesn't take care of herself very much.
However, Nia, who was living in the ward, looked haggard, her body was dry, and her hair was falling off. She looked like an old woman in her sixties.
Her situation was very complicated. I heard that she had undergone multiple abortion surgeries, which eventually led to uterine lesions and cancer. In addition, because I didn’t take good care of my body, I developed symptoms of liver cirrhosis... It seemed that my body’s immune system also had problems.
She basically spent her life's savings waiting to die in this hospital.
Nia was considered a 'senior' who took good care of Caroline in the early days after she ran away from home. After learning about Nia's condition, she would come over to see her one or two days a month - basically she It’s a time when you can’t open your business during menstruation.
"I bought flowers, let's put them in first." Caroline glanced at Nia on the hospital bed.
This is probably the saddest last scene in life as a sex worker. Caroline couldn't even see more hope of survival in Nia's eyes.
She seems to have no children, and naturally has no lovers. As for the issue of family, I am afraid there is also a question mark. Anyway, despite visiting several times, Caroline had never heard of anyone else coming to visit this dying man besides herself.
In fact, every time she saw Nia's appearance, Caroline would be frightened for a while, and suddenly she felt that the person lying on the hospital bed had become herself. The scene of staring desperately at the ceiling without even blinking made her legs weak and it was difficult to breathe.
"Want to eat an apple? Let me peel one for you?" Caroline pulled out a chair and sat in front of the hospital bed.
Nia didn't speak, but just turned her eyes and fell on Caroline, as if she noticed someone she knew coming next to her.
"They said they could perform an operation on me. If successful, I have an average chance of surviving."
Caroline, who was concentrating on peeling apples, suddenly heard a dry sound. Her eyes widened and she looked towards Nia - Nia was also looking at her at this time.
For the first time, Caroline saw something other than lifelessness in Nia's eyes.
"But I don't have enough money." Nia said slowly again.
"You...you want me to help you?" Caroline instinctively guarded Nia's gaze at this time and hesitated: "You know, I can't give you much. If it's too much, I...I don't have it either. Method. ”
Caroline subconsciously moved her position to block the handbag placed behind the chair - inside was the bank card she carried with her that contained a huge amount of wealth.
"I know." Nia shook her head hard.
Her gaze made Caroline feel very uncomfortable, and Caroline looked elsewhere subconsciously.
Nia said slowly: "I want you to help me find someone. He is a lawyer and a regular client of mine. He can help me."
"Lawyer..." Caroline said in surprise: "It seems he is a rich man?"
Maybe it's not necessarily a love story...Caroline guessed.
"I want to ask a lawyer to help me sell my property. I want to try this operation no matter what."
There was a strong desire for survival in the eyes of this dying woman. Caroline frowned and said, "I'm afraid your house is worthless."
Old houses in slums are basically unsaleable. Even if it is sold, it is obviously not enough in Caroline's opinion - this hospital is burning money every moment.
"I still have a house in the West End."
Caroline was very surprised.
The West District is a newly developed area, dominated by high-end residential areas. The housing prices there are so expensive that the working class cannot afford it... House, Nia originally had a big house of her own early in the morning.
This woman who was about to die had already accomplished her long-held goal...but she was about to die, and now she had to sell her house in order to survive.
Caroline felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Later, it was time for her inspection. Caroline did a lot of tests under the instructions of doctors and nurses in a daze, but the results of the tests would not be known until a week later.
In this regard, Caroline was not as concerned as she was at the beginning.
She just knew that she finally agreed to Nia's request and tried to find the man who might have had a romantic affair with Nia when she was young.
……
……
So...am I traveling through time or space?
Looking at the endless darkness in front of him...or the scene that could be called chaos and nothingness, Yu Danqiang, who had been standing in this place in a daze for a while, subconsciously scratched his armpit - it felt itchy.
The place where he was at this time was a huge platform extending out from one side. The floor tiles on the platform are of a color that looks like emerald, but the material is obviously not emerald.
Yu Danqiang is very sure of this - because he carries a piece of jade inherited from his family.
Yu Danqiang frowned again, turned around, raised his head, and looked ahead...a huge palace. What the style is, Yu Danqiang can’t tell. But this palace was much grander than any pictures of palaces he had ever seen.
A huge and majestic palace built on a huge platform, and this platform was floating in the chaos of nothingness... If he hadn't seen a superhuman battle before coming to this place, Yu Danqiang thought he might be dreaming. ?
He subconsciously pinched the sign in his hand... There is no doubt that he came to this place because he picked up this sign, but the key is...
The key is, what the hell is this place?
He had been in this place for a while, and although there was no signal on his phone, he could obviously still watch the time - more than half an hour!
How should I go back?
Will you encounter anything scary here?
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew out from a pavilion in the huge palace, getting closer and closer... Yu Danqiang exhausted his eyesight and finally saw clearly the true appearance of this shadow.
She is a very cute girl, wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit that is only popular in a certain island country, and she also has a...yellow duck swimming ring?
The girl had short hair and looked about twelve or thirteen years old... She seemed to have noticed the sudden appearance of people on the edge of the platform, so she landed quickly.
"Little sister, where is this place?" Yudan swallowed hard.
Conscience, he didn't have any special preference for girls with this kind of body shape, he just wanted to know where he was.
Of course, seeing this girl coming from the sky also made Yu Danqiang feel nervous for a while.
"The gap between the two sides, the lost paradise of the void." The girl responded expressionlessly, then looked Yudanqiang up and down, suddenly frowned, and asked without saying a word: "You loser How did the uncle get in?”
I'm so sorry for being a good-for-nothing uncle...(End of Chapter)
