Chapter 139 A tragedy caused by a shoe (modified)
"Central Children's Welfare Home?"
Luo Jian, who was sitting in the back seat, glanced at the blocked viaduct in front of him, frowned, and felt irritated at the moment, and responded angrily:
"Then go here, it's a lot of trouble..."
"Call them and let them know."
After Luo Jian finished speaking, he leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
……
Didi didi.
Accompanied by the sound of car horns, the limousine in which Luo Jian was riding stopped in front of the gate of the Central Children's Welfare Home.
The dilapidated walls, old rusty railings and iron gates, and the depressing scene in the courtyard came into view.
"What the hell is this place?"
"Is this going to close down soon?"
Luo Jian opened the car door and looked at the mess in front of him, and couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"This place is so dirty. I had to find someone to customize my shoes..."
As he spoke, he also raised his feet to check the condition of the soles.
"Don't run, wait for me."
"Slow down, I can't keep up."
"Come and catch me, hey hey hey, can't you catch me?"
"Hurry up, if you can't keep up, I won't play with you anymore."
The sounds of children's play could be heard as they chased each other.
Along with the rapid and chaotic footsteps, the figures of seven or eight children quickly came into view.
Squeak!
Bang.
The iron railing-style door was suddenly pushed open, and the bottom of the door on the right directly scraped the front end of Luo Jian's leather shoes, rubbing hard against it.
It can be seen from the muffled sound that it was hit this time.
"My shoes!"
Luo Jian's eyes widened and he instantly bent down, staring at the leather shoe of his right foot.
All I saw was that the originally intact and delicate shoe upper had been scratched open with a large crack.
The front end of the shoe is almost separated from the whole, with only a centimeter remaining that remains connected.
"These damn little beasts...!!"
Luo Jian's anger rose in his heart. He stood up suddenly and turned around to catch the children who ran past.
"Are these people from the Roche Group?"
Suddenly, a shrill female voice came from behind the door of the orphanage.
"These children are used to being noisy. Please forgive me."
"How come you don't have eyes..." Luo Jian was furious. He wanted to teach several little brats that they had to be controlled by others.
As a direct descendant of the Luo family and a Beta superpower, he has never received such treatment.
However, just when he turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, just when he was about to curse and teach the other party a lesson,
Halfway through what he said, he immediately held it back.
All he saw was standing in front of him, a man wearing round glasses and a jellyfish head. He was wearing a dark pink plush vest over a large number of printed thermal underwear.
The whole body looked bloated and obese, and the plateau red color on his face and the large burn scars on the back of his hands were particularly conspicuous.
She has the appearance of a middle-aged, stout woman.
He has a smile on his face and looks approachable.
"I am the interim director of the Central Welfare Institute, Chen Li."
"I guess these are the people from the Roche Group who I just called and said they were coming to visit, right? Please invite me inside."
Luo Jian suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not immediately show the face of a second-generation ancestor.
Just because he deeply felt that the middle-aged woman in front of him was not as kind as she appeared on the surface.
Chen Li's body was faintly emitting supernatural fluctuations that were even stronger than those of Luo Jian, who was in the middle beta level.
"Hmph." "Go in."
Luo Jian snorted coldly, looked at the damaged shoes, and followed in impatiently.
……
In the welfare home, moss and weeds grow and spread in the gaps between the mottled floor tiles.
Every few steps, you will see floor tiles that have been cracked by the weather.
Luo Jian was born in a luxurious family and lived a luxurious life, visiting splendid places.
At this moment, walking in the dilapidated and desolate orphanage, his mind was also irritable and unspeakable.
"Tomorrow is the opening of the supernatural gathering. Those old immortals have to send me to do this troublesome thing. Why don't they just find some trash from the side?!"
"I broke a pair of shoes in vain...Fortunately, they were not broken directly, and there is still a chance to repair them."
"This is hand-forged by a master designer who is a high-level Beta superpower. There are only a few pairs in the world..."
Luo Jian is still struggling with the problem of shoes,
Chen Li, the temporary director of the welfare home, who was walking in front, put her hands behind her back and spoke slowly:
“The people on the phone didn’t explain their purpose clearly.”
"I wonder why you came here this time?"
"It's not like it's just to take away the children again, right?"
Chen Li spoke one sentence at a time, her tone getting deeper and deeper. When she said the last sentence, there was a faint chill in her voice.
"..."
When Luo Jian heard this, he took his mind off the broken shoes, narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Li who had stopped walking in front of him.
"It's useless to tell me what the group means."
Luo Jian spread his hands and directly blamed the source of the problem on the family behind him.
It also has the intention of intimidation.
Looking at the name of Luo Group, everyone in Dragon City is afraid of it.
"Haha." Chen Li turned sideways and smiled mysteriously,
"Last time, people from your Luo Group came and took away more than half of the children."
"There are only about a dozen children in the entire orphanage now."
"If a few more of you pick them out, this central welfare home will become an empty shell."
"This shabby place of yours has been open for decades, so it's enough." Luo Jian looked disdainful, "What's the good of guarding such a mess? It's better to leave and relax."
< br>
As Luo Jian spoke, he waved his hands impatiently and walked past Chen Li.
"Where is the accommodation for these orphans? Take me there and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, his right shoe, which was scratched by the door of the orphanage, stepped on a floor tile.
Click.
The floor tiles were in disrepair and cracked.
The toe of Luo Jian's right toe was completely stuck in the crack of the floor tile.
Tear!
He subconsciously pulled out the shoe, and immediately, the toe cap, which was still connected by a centimeter, was torn and broken.
The broken toe is embedded in the gap between the floor tiles, which is particularly eye-catching.
All of this deeply stimulated Luo Jian's already irritable emotional nerves.
The suppressed anger and dissatisfaction in my heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment.
His cheeks twitched, his chest heaved, and he cursed:
"Damn it! What a shabby place this is!"
"Do labor and management have to come here to see these orphans without fathers and mothers?!"
"I ruined my shoes for nothing! Why don't these bastards die all at once, so that I don't have to come over to do the work!"
A series of endless curses echoed in the empty courtyard of the orphanage.
Luo Jian vented his anger wantonly.
Without paying any attention, in a corner of the courtyard, in a wooden dog cage, a dark shadow emerged.
