Chapter 869 – Volume 10 – Chapter 20: Pleb

Bureau Chief Jose’s nickname was “the Greedy Pig.”

As the name suggested, Bureau Chief Jose was a pig because he had the fat that made everyone who met him frown.

But even so, many women were willing to get on Bureau Chief Jose’s bed. Most of these women were from good families because Bureau Chief Jose was the city’s National Security Bureau Chief.

Foreign media had repeatedly joked that the police in this country were dictators who were more violent and darker than those bloody gangs.

Bureau Chief Jose annotated this foreign media’s remarks well.

In fact, 13 years ago, Bureau Chief Jose wasn’t a greedy behemoth.

However, since the start of an operation called UPP, the state’s security agencies liberated many slums successfully without bloodshed. Bureau Chef Jose took this opportunity to become rich.

As for why, of course, it was due to the World Games that had just been held not long ago.

The country was willing to pay to improve its reputation. Many efforts and finance were dedicated to making people feel that this country was safe rather than how terribly it was reported in the media—of course, the effect was impressive.

As for whether this effect could continue forever, it was a matter of opinion.

But for Bureau Chief Jose, those were all irrelevant to him because his wealth had accumulated to an astonishing level. Even if he lost the official position, he could become a bold tycoon in foreign countries, continue to enjoy life recklessly.

However, the smooth sailing Bureau Chief Jose was upset these days. For example, the hot secretary in front of the office was driven out just a few minutes ago with a pale face.

As a matter of fact, Bureau Chief Jose enjoyed a secretary with a hot body the most. Having her kneeling under the desk and giving him the services he loved. Of course, they basically thought that because Bureau Chief Jose was too obese. Any vigorous activity might kill him.

Looking at the aggrieved secretary lady, everyone just pretended that they didn’t see it. A plaything, who was no longer favored, naturally had no value. As for why Jose was irritated, it was because of the frequent murders in the past few days.

The murders happened to the gang’s boss, the local parliamentarians, and the important business people in the economic field. Many people who were assassinated in the past few days had great influence. The anger behind this was probably this “greedy fat pig” couldn’t bear it.

At this time, the fat Bureau Chief Jose suddenly opened the office door. Just as everyone was guessing whether Jose was going to walk out sideways or walk straight out, the tyrant-like chief had already shouted, “The chairman is going to the Municipal Theater to watch the performance tonight. Give me tight security measures! If there are any slip-ups, you know what I will do!”

Chairman was the big shot in this country. No wonder that Bureau Chief Jose was in such a bad mood at this time. Most likely, the recent homicides of important people disturbed the higher-ups of the country.

…

“We have arrived at the theater!”

A reminder came from the bus. Caroline leaned against the window and glanced at the Municipal Theater outside the bus. The building was so dazzling that Caroline withdrew his gaze slightly uncomfortably.

She accidentally saw a few police cars parked here. Caroline couldn’t help but be wary. The police even installed the barricade tape here.

I guess a big shot is coming here tonight.

In Caroline’s memory, this theater was used to host prominent national cultural activities. It would also hold programs such as “XX Music Festival” frequently.

Caroline shook her head.

Although she could instantly turn into an elegant lady to accustom to the guests’ needs, there was no change in her inside. Of course, when a man tore her clothes apart, the so-called grace wouldn’t matter.

So she had only one idea about the place that the upper-class nobles used to show off themselves: When would she have the money to buy this castle-like place to live in?

The car passengers apparently noticed the police forces scattered around the theater, just like Caroline. No one discussed it. Small citizens didn’t care about national affairs. Besides, she lived at the boundary of laws.

Later, the bus passed a closed section.

A high wall was built on one side of the highway, completely blocking the view there. Caroline looked at these long walls, low-spirited. Such a wall, of course, was not for defense.

Its only function was to block out the scene on the other side of the wall. Indeed, on the other side of the wall was the place where she grew up—the chaotic place.

Caroline sneered. Everyone on the bus had become accustomed to it, and it seemed irrelevant to them.

“We have arrived at the hospital!”

Caroline got out of the bus and glanced at this medical facility, which was the best building in the city. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the sunlight shining on the dense glass made Caroline frown. Only the air-conditioning wafting from the hospital door made her feel more comfortable.

“I want to make an appointment… En, internal medicine.” Caroline walked directly to the crowded reception desk.

It took her more than half an hour to queue, but it was probably already afternoon when it was her turn. Caroline thought for a while, then walked straight to the inpatient department.

The main reason for coming to the hospital this time was for a detailed examination. She didn’t know if she had lost her fertility. Hence, she tried to understand more about her physical condition. Even if her fertility was taken away in the future, she could return afterward to at least know what went wrong.

As for going to the inpatient department, naturally, she was there for a visit.

The person Caroline visited wasn’t a talented young musician who was blind or had a leg disability. Caroline wasn’t the Cinderella in fairy tales. She didn’t have such an encounter in romance novels. Originally, Caroline didn’t believe in love, taking it as something that could be expended.

The person Caroline visited wasn’t a love-dovey partner usually displayed in the movie nor a sick relative.

It was even more unlikely that she went dumb and adopted a terminally ill child who needed to be under the hospital’s care to survive. Even if it did happen, Caroline felt that she would end up in hospital because of excessive medical expenses and give up.

For an unfamiliar person, Caroline believed that her soul hadn’t ascended to such greatness. She wouldn’t pick up the baggage for a moment of kindness, using her savings, and even took on debts.

“It’s just a dying colleague…”

The wandering prostitutes in the district used to call her Nia, including Caroline. Nia was twice as old as Caroline, supposedly thirty-five years old. No matter how much care she put on her appearance, she would be at middle-aged level.

However, Nya, who lived in the ward, looked haggard at this time. Her body was dry, and much of her hair fell out. She looked like an old woman in her sixties.

Her situation was complicated. They said that she had undergone many abortions and finally caused uterine disease, which evolved to cancer later on. In addition, because of not taking care of her body, she had symptoms of liver cirrhosis. It seemed that even her body’s immune system was also experiencing problems.

She was now basically using her life savings, waiting for her death in this hospital.

Nia was considered a ‘senior’ who took care of Caroline in the early stage when Caroline left home alone. After knowing Nia’s condition, she would spend one or two days paying a visit. Basically, those were the times of her menses when she wasn’t available for business.

“I bought flowers. Let me decorate them up first.” Caroline glanced at Nia on the bed.

This was probably the last stage of a saddest sex worker’s life. Caroline couldn’t even see any hope in Nia’s eyes.

She seemed to have no children and no lover, let alone family. Caroline had visited her several times. She had never heard of anyone other than her visiting this dying person.

In fact, every time Caroline saw Nia’s situation, she would be frightened. She would suddenly imagine herself being the person lying in bed. The scene of Nia desperately looking at the ceiling without blinking an eye made her legs weak and out of breath.

“Would you like an apple? I can cut one for you.” Caroline pulled the chair over and sat down in front of the hospital bed.

Nia didn’t speak but just turned her eyes. Her gaze cast on Caroline as if she just noticed a person she knew came by.

“They said they could perform an operation on me. If it succeeds, I have a moderate chance of surviving.”

Caroline, who was concentrating on peeling the apple, heard a dry voice. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Nia. Nia was also looking at her at this time.

For the first time, what Caroline saw in Nia’s eyes was not lifeless.

“But I don’t have enough money,” said Nia slowly.

“You want my help?” Caroline instinctively acted defensive at Nia’s gaze, hesitating, “You should know that I can’t fork out much. If it costs a lot, I can’t help it. “

Caroline moved her position subconsciously, blocking her handbag at the back of the chair. Inside the handbag was the bank card with a huge sum of wealth.

“I know.” Nia shook her head hard.

Her gaze made Caroline uncomfortable, and Caroline subconsciously looked elsewhere.

Nia said slowly, “I want you to find someone for me. He is a lawyer, and he is also a regular customer of mine. So he can help me.”

“Lawyer…” Caroline said in surprise, “That seems like a rich man?”

Maybe there’s love and romance in between. Caroline guessed so.

“I want to ask a lawyer to help me sell my property. I want to try this operation anyway.”

The dying woman had a strong will to live in her eyes. Caroline frowned. “Your house probably doesn’t worth much.”

The old houses in the slums tend to remain unsold. Even if it was sold, Caroline thought it wouldn’t be enough. This hospital burned money like the devil every moment.

“I also have a house in the City’s West District.” Caroline was surprised.

The West District was a newly developed area dominated by high-end residential areas. The housing prices there were so expensive that the wage-earner couldn’t afford it. Nia seemingly had her dream house already.

This dying woman had already accomplished her goal for a long time. But she was about to die, so she had to sell her house to survive.

Caroline felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Later, it was time for her check-up. Again, Caroline did a lot of tests under the orders of doctors and nurses. As for the test’s results, it would take a week to be completed.

In this regard, Caroline did not care about it at first.

She just knew that she agreed to Nia’s request in the end and tried to find the man who might have had a romantic relationship with Nia when she was young.

…

So, have I transmigrated to another world?

Looking at the endless darkness in front of him… or rather a scene akin to chaos and nothingness, Yu Danqiang scratched his armpit subconsciously. He had been stuck in this place for a while.

Where he was at this time had a vast platform extending from one side. The floor tiles on the platform were jade in color, but the material wasn’t precisely jade.

Yu Danqiang was certain about this because he had a piece of family jade with him.

Yu Danqiang frowned. He turned around and looked up ahead. There was a huge palace. Yu Danqiang couldn’t tell what the style was. But the palace was much bigger than any palace in the pictures he had ever seen.

A huge and majestic palace built on a huge platform. This platform floated in the void and primal chaos. Had it not been for a supernatural battle before coming to this place, Yu Danqiang would think it might be a dream.

He subconsciously squeezed the wood talisman in his hand. There was no doubt that he came to this place because he picked up the wood palace.

But, what exactly is this place?

He had been in this place for quite a while. Although his phone had no signal, he could still look for the time. He had been stuck there for more than half an hour!

How should I go back?

Will there be any horrible things in this place?

At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew out of a pavilion in that colossal palace, getting closer and closer. Yu Danqiang exhausted all his focus on vision and finally saw the true appearance of this shadow.

She was a cute girl, wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit with a… yellow duck swimming ring.

The girl had short hair and looked like she was only about thirteen years old. She seemed to have noticed the new person on the platform, so she landed quickly.

“Little sister, what is this place?” Yu Danqiang swallowed his saliva.

Of course, he didn’t have any special hobbies for girls of this kind. He just wanted to know where he was.

Of course, watching this girl come from the sky also made Yu Danqiang nervous.

“The gap between the two sides; the lost paradise in the void.” The girl replied blankly and then assessed Yu Danqiang. She suddenly frowned and asked, “How did you get in old loser?”

I’m sorry that I’m an old loser…
