Chapter IX: Harassment
Early the next morning, when Luna and Ye Chen were preparing today's breakfast for the children, and Louise was still preparing for today's lesson, Dan excitedly rushed into the orphanage and shouted, "Everyone, everyone! Yesterday the craftsmen came to me and said that they were willing to take on the job of repairing the orphanage, and the price was very low! ”
The group immediately looked at each other and smiled, understanding that this was Joseph's gesture of goodwill, as for whether he himself was willing to do this, I don't know, but judging from his performance yesterday, it is very likely that his father Yuri instructed him, otherwise he would not have handled it so well-mannered.

Seeing everyone laughing in unison, Dan felt a little strange that everyone was hiding something from him, but when he asked, everyone seemed to have rehearsed it, and gave almost the same answer, and he had to think that everyone was happy that the orphanage could be repaired.
In the afternoon of the same day, Dan brought a middle-aged man to the orphanage and introduced to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Baker, the best craftsman in the whole city of Rum, and he has been invited here today to see how this orphanage can be repaired." ”
"Hehe, there are many craftsmen who are better than me, and there are many craftsmen who are better than me, so it's not right for you to say that." The middle-aged man named Baker touched his head shyly, and his tone was full of modesty, "Let's take a look at the dilapidated level of the orphanage first, so I can go back and determine the repair plan." ”
"Okay, no problem, let's go."
More than ten minutes later, Dan and Baker returned to the hall of the orphanage, after checking just now, Baker already had a suitable plan in mind, that is, to repair the most dilapidated part of the orphanage first, and the rest of the rooms can be slowed down first, although this will take a long time, but the orphanage still has to operate after all, and it is impossible for the children to have nowhere to go.
After listening to Baker's preliminary plan, Dan discussed with Luna, Ye Chen and others, and collectively agreed to this plan, and at the same time paid part of the salary in advance, and agreed on the date of construction, Baker took his leave, and Dan also left the orphanage after lunch, saying that he would go to another village tomorrow to serve as a temporary pastor, and he had to go back in advance to prepare.
Three days later, Baker and his craftsmen arrived at the orphanage as promised and began their renovation work, which was not bothered by the curious children, as Luna had told the children about it before, and the repair work went smoothly, and everyone was doing their own thing.
As the days passed, the most dilapidated rooms had been almost repaired, and only a few of them were more troublesome, although they were more troublesome, but they just needed a little more effort, and some people began to get anxious as the orphanage slowly began to formalize.
One day, Ye Chen went out as usual to buy vegetables for today's cooking, but found that there were people wandering around the orphanage, so he immediately returned to the orphanage to inform Hulim that he should always pay attention to these people, although they are not necessarily bad people, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable.
A week has passed, and those people have been wandering around the orphanage, and they have not made any moves, which makes Ye Chen feel that he is not thinking too much, the goal of these people may not be the orphanage but something else, but there should be precautions, after all, if you don't shoot 10,000, you are only afraid of what happens.
On the morning of the second day after the completion of the first step of the repair work, what Ye Chen was worried about still happened, this morning Baker and his craftsmen had just walked near the orphanage, and a group of hateful-looking thugs suddenly rushed out of the alley on the side, and without saying a word, they punched and kicked Baker and his party.
Fortunately, Hulim has been secretly observing this group of people for the past few days, and after discovering that Baker and the others were beaten, he immediately rushed up with Karn to help, and beat this group of thugs to the desert in three or two clicks, and saved Baker and others, but some of them were beaten a little badly, and today's repair work is not to be carried out.
After this happened, Ye Chen, Karn and the others took turns escorting Baker and his party to and from work, so that the troublemakers could not start, and the repair work could continue.
But the good times did not last long, and when the thugs found that they could not do anything near the orphanage, they waited near the homes of Baker and others, and as soon as they returned home, they were beaten severely, and they were beaten on the arms they used to eat, and several people were beaten so that they could not go to work and had to recuperate at home.
Although Baker, the foreman, was not beaten, he received a threatening letter from a small leader of the Black Scorpions, the largest underside gang in Rum, telling him to stop repairing the orphanage, and if they did not listen, the Black Scorpions would promise that they would never use their hands.
On the afternoon of the day he received the letter, Baker came to the door with the advance salary, and wanted to push off the project with a handful of snot and tears, so that Ye Chen and the others did not know why, and after repeated questioning, Baker told him about receiving the threatening letter.
Ye Chen and his entourage immediately understood that someone was doing something, eight or nine times out of ten it was instructed by Joseph, for a person like him, if he didn't want to achieve his goal, he would definitely not give up, and it was bearable to be able to be silent for so long before making a move.
However, Ye Chen and the others seemed to underestimate the influence of the Black Scorpion Gang on the ordinary residents of Lunmu City, no matter how powerful the guarantee they gave, their chests were shocking, Baker still insisted on pushing off the project, and even gave Ye Chen money to them, seeing that Baker was so stubborn, everyone had to agree to his request, took back the advance salary, and returned the excess money to Baker.
As soon as Baker left, the group began to discuss and come up with a solution that would solve the matter once and for all.
……
As the saying goes, everything has two sides, there is light and there is darkness, there is wealth and there is poverty, although the city of Rum is governed by the temple of Fetos, but it cannot avoid the existence of the poor, but the temple of Fetos has done a good job in the management of the poor, they have concentrated all the poor people, divided into four slums in the east, west, south and north, so as to manage.
The eastern slum is one of the most chaotic of the four, with violence and gore everywhere, and everyone will do anything to survive, even a four-year-old child will stab you with a smile in his young hands. The Black Scorpion was born out of this chaotic ghetto, headquartered in a bar in the heart of the eastern ghetto.
At this time, a young man dressed in the costume of the bishop of the temple of Fetos walked into the bar with a smile, and the younger brother who was patrolling the bar immediately greeted him and led the young man into the inner room of the bar, where a man with a scar on his face and a fierce face was sitting on the sofa in the inner room, and this man was the boss of the Black Scorpion Gang.
Seeing the arrival of the young bishop, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the fierce-faced man, and after waving his hand to let the younger brother retreat, he immediately changed to a flattering expression and asked, "Lord Joseph, why are you here?" ”
Joseph nodded flatly and asked, "How about the thing I asked you to do?" ”
"Your Excellency is talking about the orphanage, right? I've had a few workers break their hands and send a threatening letter to Baker's house, and if he's interested, he should have had the result today. ”
As soon as the vicious man's words fell, a younger brother pushed the door and walked in and said, "Boss, I received a report from the brothers who were guarding near the orphanage that Baker had gone to the orphanage to tear down the project, and those people in the orphanage also agreed!"
Joseph immediately patted the vicious man on the shoulder and praised: "Very good! You've done a good job in this matter, and I'll continue to let you manage this Black Scorpion Gang. ”
"Thank you! Thank you, sir! ”
Joseph nodded approvingly, walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, shook the wine glass and said to himself with a gloomy face, "Isn't the princess amazing?" This is Rum City, it's my territory, and I have a hundred ways to play with you, so let me play with you. (To be continued.) )
