Chapter 139: Tragedy caused by a shoe
Chapter 139: Tragedy Caused by a Shoe (Edited)
"Central Children's Welfare Home?"
Sitting in the back seat, Luo Jian glanced at the blocked viaduct ahead, frowned, and became increasingly irritated. He responded unhappily:
"Then let's go here, there's a lot of trouble..."
"Give them a call and let them know."
After Luo Jian finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
……
Drop drop drop.
With the sound of car horns, the luxury car that Luo Jian was riding in stopped in front of the gate of the Central Children's Welfare Institute.
The dilapidated walls, old and rusty railings and iron gates, and the depressed scene in the courtyard came into view.
"What the hell is this place?"
"Is this going to close soon?"
Luo Jian opened the car door and looked at the mess in front of him with disgust on his face.
"This place is so dirty. I had these shoes custom made..."
As he spoke, he lifted his foot to check the condition of the sole.
"Don't run, wait for me."
"Slow down, I can't keep up."
"Come and catch me, hehehe, you can't catch me, right?"
"Hurry up, if you can't keep up, I won't play with you anymore."
The sounds of children playing and chasing each other could be heard.
Along with the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps, the figures of seven or eight children quickly came into view.
Squeak!
boom.
The iron railing-style door was pushed open suddenly, and the bottom of the door on the right scraped the front of Luo Jian's leather shoes and rubbed past him hard.
From the muffled sound, it can be seen that the impact was quite severe.
“My shoes!”
Luo Jian widened his eyes, bent down instantly, and stared at the leather shoe on his right foot.
All I saw was that the originally intact and exquisite shoe upper was scratched with a big crack.
The front end of the shoe is almost separated from the whole, with only a one-centimeter part remaining connected.
"These damned little beasts...!!"
Luo Jian's anger grew, he stood up suddenly, and was about to turn around to catch the children who ran over.
"Are you from the Luo Group?"
Suddenly, a shrill female voice came from behind the door of the welfare home.
"These kids are used to being noisy, please forgive me."
"How could this blind person come from..." Luo Jian was furious. He was being restrained when he wanted to teach a few brats a lesson.
As a direct descendant of the Luo family and a Beta mutant, he has never been treated like this.
However, just as he turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice, just as he was about to yell at the other party,
He stopped talking halfway through his words.
In front of him stood a person wearing round glasses, a jellyfish hairstyle, and a dark pink plush vest over heavily printed thermal underwear.
His whole body looked bloated and fat, the highland red on his face and the large burn scars on the back of his hands were particularly conspicuous.
She looks like a middle-aged, overweight woman.
His face was full of smiles, and he looked approachable.
"I am the temporary director of the Central Welfare Institute, Chen Li."
"I guess you are the people from the Roche Group who said they would come to visit me just now. Please come in."
Luo Jianqiang suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not immediately show the face of a second-generation rich man.
It was because he felt deeply that the middle-aged woman in front of him was not as kind as she appeared on the surface.
The subtle fluctuations of supernatural power emanating from Chen Li were even stronger than those of Luo Jian, who was at the middle level of Beta.
"Hmph." "Go in."
Luo Jian snorted coldly, looked at his broken shoes, and followed in impatiently.
……
Inside the welfare home, moss and weeds grew and spread wildly in the cracks between the mottled floor tiles.
Every few steps, you will see floor tiles that have cracked due to wind and sun.
Luo Jian was born into a wealthy family. He led an extravagant lifestyle and always went to luxurious places.
At this moment, walking in the dilapidated and desolate welfare home, he was feeling extremely upset.
"Tomorrow is the opening of the supernatural gathering. Those old immortals had to send me to do this troublesome thing. Why not just find a useless person from a side branch?!"
"I ruined a pair of shoes for nothing... Luckily they didn't break directly, so there's still a chance to fix them."
"This is hand-forged by a master designer who is a Beta superior superpower. There are only a few pairs in the world..."
Luo Jian is still struggling with the issue of shoes.
Chen Li, the temporary director of the welfare home, walked in front, with her hands behind her back, and spoke slowly:
"Some people on the phone didn't make their intentions clear."
"I wonder what you are here for this time?"
"It can't be that you are here to take the children away again, right?"
Chen Li spoke one sentence after another, her tone becoming increasingly low. When she spoke the last sentence, a chill could be heard in her voice.
"..."
Hearing this, Luo Jian withdrew his mind from his broken shoes, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Chen Li who had stopped moving in front of him.
"It's no use telling me what the group means."
Luo Jian spread his hands and directly blamed the source of the problem on the family behind him.
There is also an intention to intimidate.
Everyone in Longcheng is afraid of the name of the Luo Group.
"Haha." Chen Li turned sideways and smiled mysteriously.
"The last time your people from the Luo Group came, they took away more than half of the children."
"There are only about a dozen children in the entire welfare home right now."
"If you guys pick a few more of them and take them away, this welfare home will become an empty shell."
"You've been running this shabby place for decades, you must have had enough of it." Luo Jian said with disdain, "What's the point of keeping such a mess? It's better to leave and feel free."
As Luo Jian spoke, he waved his hands impatiently and was about to walk past Chen Li.
"Where is the accommodation for these orphans? Take me there to have a look."
Just as he finished speaking, his right shoe, which had been scratched by the gate of the orphanage, stepped on a floor tile.
Click.
The floor tiles, which had been in disrepair for a long time, broke.
The toe of Luo Jianyou's shoe was stuck in the crack of the floor tiles.
Tear!
He subconsciously pulled out his shoe, and immediately, the toe, which was still one centimeter connected, was torn off.
The broken toe of the shoe, embedded in the gap between the floor tiles, is particularly eye-catching.
All of this deeply stimulated Luo Jian's already irritable emotions.
The anger and dissatisfaction suppressed in my heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment.
His cheeks twitched, his chest rose and fell, and he began to curse:
"Fuck it! What a lousy place this is!"
"Do I really have to come over to see these orphans without parents?!"
"My shoes were ruined for nothing! Why didn't these damn bastards all die at once, so that I wouldn't have to come here and do all the work!"
A series of endless curses echoed in the empty courtyard of the welfare home.
Luo Jian vented his anger wantonly.
Without noticing anything, a dark shadow jumped out from a wooden dog cage in the corner of the yard.
