When Carmen Gable arrived at a clinic, LeBron was in a semi-coma.

Several police officers were surrounding his bedside for questioning, and one of them kept shaking LeBron's head in his hand to try to get him to speak.

As Carmen stood in the doorway, his heart fluttering, and he kicked the door open, startling the police in the room.

"Who are you?" the policeman at the head of the police forced his gaze on.

"I am the nephew of the wounded. "Gentlemen, the wounded man is in a coma, and what he needs most now is treatment. Otherwise, I accuse you of attempted murder. ”

Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, button the hat first. The policeman said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Carmen was well-dressed and looked well-mannered.

"Voice of the Righteous reporter, Carmen Gable!" Carmen said, "Do you need to see my work ID?"

The faces of the policemen changed, and the leader smiled reluctantly: "No, if the injured person wakes up, please notify us immediately." He was involved in a crowd fight. ”

The police officers fled, and Carmen hurriedly called doctors and nurses to treat LeBron.

Carmen got the news relatively late, because LeBron's recruitment campaign was already on track and there were a few guys to assist, so Carmel hadn't visited for several days.

After leaving work early today, Carmen left the newspaper office and went to LeBron's office on the dock outside the city, where someone told him that his uncle had been beaten by a group of hooligans, and he knew that something had happened.

Carmen knew his uncle very well, and although he was a tough man, he was actually more sleek and sophisticated, which was why he was more open in his hometown, and he was also a devout True God Cultist, so it was difficult for such a person to take the initiative to conflict with others.

LeBron broke two ribs, had a certain degree of concussion, and had multiple bruises and contusions on his body, but fortunately he was not afraid of his life, but he had to lie in bed for a while. Several of his hired men were also wounded, and it is worth noting that several engineers who had returned from Poitu were taken away by the police.

Carmen stayed up all night, and LeBron woke up the next morning.

"Haha, my dear nephew, you have seen my ugliness. LeBron smiled self-deprecatingly, sighing unnaturally as he pulled the wound on his cheek.

"Uncle, what's going on?" asked Carmen, "and the docks are full of gangs, and these scoundrels have always been bullying, extortionist, and even fighting for territory. I warned you a long time ago not to mess with them. ”

"What gangsters? They just take the money to do the work, I dug other people's corners, I moved other people's cheese. LeBron replied.

Carmen suddenly realized that LeBron had Sean's endorsement and financial support, and he made a big price to poach people, which undoubtedly annoyed those big factory owners. Therefore, LeBron was just beaten for Sean, of course, this is also related to his "arrogance" and "deep pockets".

"Do you have proof?" asked Carmen.

"What proof do you need for this?" LeBron said, "it's a plain sight." I should have thought of that. By the way, the engineers I negotiated earlier, they worked tirelessly to help me from Poitou, and now I'm afraid they're still locked up in the police station, and you have to help me get them out. ”

"Okay. Carmen agreed.

He first got the doctor's permission to ask someone to carry LeBron back to his apartment to recuperate, and hired a special person to take care of him, and he was busy for a long time before rushing to the dock police station.

Carmen had been to this police station several times as a reporter, and the director, Longji, naturally knew him.

"Mr. Gable, this is a bit difficult to do, because it involves a fight of 100 people, and it is of a bad nature. Especially when the current public security situation is not good, we cannot release people just because of your words. Longi said in an official tone.

"Mr. Director, I am not investigating the incident as a journalist, I am entrusted by the victim to visit his employees, this is my right. At the same time, since you said that this involves 100 people, is the situation of 7 people against 100 people also a brawl? Why do the murderers of the beaters get away with it, while the beaten people are locked up?" Carmen is not a junior brother, "Even if these engineers are traitors, they have the right to hire lawyers, right? Coincidentally, I studied law in college, do you want to see my lawyer's card?"

"Mr. Gable, you certainly have the right to visit these people. Lungi quickly changed his attitude, "This is ...... Opinion. ”

Director Longi pointed to the ceiling, implying that he was under pressure from his superiors. This, of course, was to be expected by Carmen.

After visiting the engineers, Carmen promised to get them a lawyer as soon as possible, and gave them a condolence payment to calm the frightened people.

He visited the insider at the docks, and in the evening, Carmen returned to his apartment. The servant hired to take care of his uncle handed him a thick letter before leaving, and told him:

"Sir, someone threw this letter into the courtyard with your name written on it. ”

Carmen looked at LeBron, saw him staring at the ceiling boredly, chatted about the day's visits, and went back to his bedroom.

It's a strangely anonymous letter.

The letter detailed a list of the gangsters involved in the attack on LeBron, and more importantly, the masterminds behind the attack, including several steel and coal companies in northern Gyeonggi, as well as many machinery companies.

This is not surprising to Carmen, as a journalist who pays close attention to social trends and the masses at the bottom, he can imagine it on his heels.

However, the author of the letter suggested that he do an in-depth social survey, and the names were all in mind for him: "Investigation and Analysis of Employment and Income in the Holy City and Gyeonggi" and "Where Have the Orphans Gone in the Almshouse", and "What Happened to a Genoese Employer in the Holy City".

This is a master who targets the darkest and most inhumane side of the big capitalists, especially the mine owners. Now that there are people who are willing to provide better treatment for laborers, especially in the context of economic downturn and massive unemployment, this is not just a moral issue, but the main messengers behind it can be blamed.

But the purpose of this person made Carmen a little confused, and he reacted quickly enough, his uncle was beaten yesterday, and today he sent an anonymous letter.

Especially when the next day, the Count of Coval, who was born in Poitou, came to the door in person, which surprised him even more.

In fact, it had not occurred to him to ask Count Koval at all, and he had the impression that the Count's presence in the Holy City was too low, even though he had recently become Secretary of State.

The Earl condescended to be respectful, cordially greeted LeBron, and asked sideways whether LeBron was employed by Viscount Connery.

LeBron replied that he had a partnership with Viscount Connery and that he had received a lot of funding from the Viscount.

The Count received an accurate answer and immediately said that he would seek justice for him. The Count was able to outperform Carmen, and the imprisoned engineer was soon freed, but the assailant remained at large.

Unbeknownst to Carmen, Count Koval had also received an anonymous letter from a writer claiming to represent the interests of all Genoese and asking which side Count Koval was on, which forced Count Koval to show his zeal.

In fact, he also knew that the viscount was not what he used to be in the midst of a pile of letters from his hometown, which made him feel that he had come to the Holy City to waste his time and achieve nothing.

During the month that LeBron spent most of his time recuperating in his nephew's apartment, Carmen did not sit idle, following the advice of the anonymous letter, to conduct an in-depth investigation of the job market in the holy cities and Gyeonggi, especially the economic conditions of the workers in the major mining and factory industries.

The first-hand information is staggering, unemployment is alarming, and the working conditions of workers are extremely poor, especially child labourers, who are sold like tools from almshouses to factory owners – so that almshouses and the government do not have to take care of the children's food and clothing.

More than 30,000 children in the Gyeonggi area alone are engaged in a variety of jobs, not only in sectors that require dexterity in the first place, but also in tasks that are heavy for adult men.

In a room of less than 10 square meters, 14 to 20 children, ranging from six to 15 years of age, are often crammed in, and for 15 hours a day and night, under the service of leather whips, they have to do particularly tiring work due to monotony and annoyance, as well as work with very poor hygiene, and their mortality rate is extremely high.

The situation of those who received higher incomes in engineering than those who worked at the bottom, women and children was also disadvantaged, and the economic depression caused mass unemployment, many of whom were unemployed.

In this case, those college graduates are in an awkward position, especially those who are not well-born, and have to condescend to engage in low-paid manual labor when they should have been offered more decent jobs.

Carmen spent more than half a month investigating in depth, and even almost took a beating on one occasion, but fortunately he was very alert and escaped.

Then, Carmen spent half a month writing several extremely in-depth reports, which were published in the newspaper "Voice of the Righteous", causing a sensation.

Taking advantage of the heated discussion caused by Carmen, Count Koval reaped the fruits, and the Count spoke out at the Council of Nobles:

"What caused a Genoese respectable employer to be beaten in the Holy City?

This is discrimination and crime!

This is a serious violation of the law and order of the country!

In the midst of the economic downturn, massive unemployment, and starvation of the people, we Genoese not only increased the national treasury with huge tax revenues, but also provided employment to the people of the Holy City and Gyeonggi, reducing the factors of social instability, which should have been rewarded by the state......"

Count Koval jumped up and down and was very active, and became a defender of the rights and interests of the Genoese in the eyes of the people, which earned him a good reputation.

Carmen had no intention of being jealous of Count Koval, but his uncle's poaching business was back in business, and this time more people were applying, because the applicants knew that the price offered by the Genoese was not foolish.

But for Carmen, he wanted to know more about who wrote him anonymously.

It was as if someone was staring at him coldly.
