The reason why "Alice" has been able to grow rapidly and become a large transnational criminal gang is because the aristocratic class of the countries needs its existence, just as the Covenant government needs the pirates to counter the strongholds installed by the nations.

As a nobleman, if you unscrupulously play with the women of your country, it is inevitable that some scandals will occur. It is true that the people are afraid of power, but they will keep the accounts in their hearts and minds, and they will step on them and stab them at the right time...... For example, in the political struggle, the wrong side is used, and the power group in power uses the scandal to doxx, and then there is a situation where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it.

Against this backdrop, some people have turned their minds to the women and children that "Alice" is taking captive across the country. As a foreign population, they have no social relations in a foreign country, few people care about their life or death, and they are a naturally vulnerable group. The cost of playing with these people is very small, and even if you kill some, no one will stand up for them, at most you will lose some money.

As the so-called demand drives development, the selfish desires of the aristocracy and the rich have fueled the rapid expansion of "Alice", making this criminal trafficking syndicate a cancer in the West Rembuir region.

Ironically, Alice, the founder of this trafficker syndicate? Carlo, herself an abducted and trafficked woman, later formed the criminal gang with army deserters during the dissolution of the Star Alliance, named "Alice", and has been used to this day.

When Kwan learned that the trafficker group that kidnapped Linglong and Yingluo was "Alice", he knew that unless a miracle happened, he would never see his daughter again in his lifetime.

A civilian like him, facing a huge and evil crime syndicate like "Alice", is like the difference between an ant and an elephant. And...... The elephant is also a royal pet.

Tripati was a man of great merry, who liked women more than any of the great nobles of the United Kingdom of Turranks, and vowed to make his history of affairs a glamorous encyclopedia. This is worthy of his identity and talent.

Would someone like him repel "Alice" like the Duke of Congreve? The answer is obvious.

Not only does he not reject it, but he also provides it with the breeding ground it needs to grow so that it can be used to meet his own needs. There is even a suspicion that more than half of the young women who disappear each year in "Lesey" have been in the bed of Duke Tripatty.

As a lord, he secretly supports the criminal activities of "Alice" in the territory, and the local government below naturally knows what to do.

In the past year or so, Guan Jiaping has experienced from hope to disappointment. From disappointment to hopelessness and finally to despair.

Those resistances stood in front of you like an impassable endless mountain range, as if the whole world had become a rock hell, with no light, no life or color, only a solid rock that was gray and bare without a trace of temperature.

He's just a skilled worker with a lot of debt, and the bank's demand notes have overwhelmed him, and he forces a smile every day. Trying to survive, because he has a family of his own, and his two children and wife are all the motivation to support him to live.

But...... As she said, this is fate, people can't fight the sky, they can only choose to accept fate.

But those two children are the pillars of his life.

When he chooses to accept his fate, the spirit that belongs to people will also completely collapse. This is a pain that only parents can experience.

Kwan spent some quiet time at home – a seemingly peaceful time.

His heart was gradually filled with anger.

Then one day, he put on a copycat power armor converted from engineering armor. EMBRACING THE SELF-ZHI BOMB RUSHED TO A BARON'S CAR.

Unfortunately, this behavior did not cause any harm to the baron, and the adult who was hiding in the special car was not in danger, and the explosion caused many casualties to the onlookers.

This incident was officially characterized as a terrorist attack, and Guan Jiaping became a fanatic bombarded by the major media of "Lesie", and even Lu Xialan, who was his wife, was also implicated. After suffering the pain of losing a child and a husband, he also has to face government censorship, media questioning, and public criticism.

The only consolation was with George's help. The mall boss who worked earlier learned of her misfortune and did not give her dismissal, barely keeping her job.

Next, she was at the lowest point in her life, and with George's persuasion and help, she slowly regained her courage in life, and the two came together in this way and decided to grow old together.

But just as he was taking care of everything and waiting for the day of the wedding to come, the two sisters came back and re-entered her life.

Fate is really unspeakable.

Claire looked at the coffee in the cup, which was no longer hot, and her expression became sad and helpless. She thought that she was already a victim of the rule of power, but she did not expect that the fate of these two children would be even more cruel.

The encounter of being kidnapped by "Alice" and sold to Lector's "Scarlet Gate" is lamentable, but who would have thought that such a misfortune is only the beginning of a greater misfortune.

A family is ruined like this, and a family that was originally happy is ruined like this......

She finally understands why some people would rather choose "death" to save their families, in such a morally deficient and indifferent society. Family, the place where warmth and happiness can be brought to people, it ...... Really vulnerable.

Bai Hao and Roy lowered their heads, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Bai Yue looked at the sunlight covering the lawn outside the window, and felt that it would never shine into people's hearts.

I don't know when, the bedroom door opened, and Lu Xialan leaned on the frame, staring at the two girls who had been trembling on the sofa with a blank gaze.

Just as they feared the most, Guan Jiaping died...... The father who loved them the most died, and chose to say "no" to the powerful in such an extreme way, at the cost of his own life.

Yingluo's face was pale, and tears fell on the cup in front of her, blending with the reddish-brown coffee. She couldn't cry out loud because something was stuck in her heart, so heavy that she barely had the strength to breathe.

Linglong straightened up, looked at her mother, who looked sad at the door of the bedroom, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Where were you when Dad needed you?" Where were you when he needed someone to help him the most? Where were you when he was going to do something stupid? ”

The sunlight shines through the window and spreads out behind her, not dazzling, so cold.

Lu Xialan said softly: "I...... At work. ”

There was blood dripping on the table. Broken into a small puddle of blood, the splatter-like distribution of small blood beads resembled broken rubies in the sunlight.

Her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the bright blood pooled into wisps that flowed along the texture of her palms.

Bai Hao wanted to stand up several times and hold her trembling hand to stop her from continuing to hurt herself. But...... He didn't have the courage to do that.

I like her so much, but I don't have the courage to ......

"Work! Job! Job! ”

Yingluo, who has always been gentle, stood up and said in an almost roaring tone for the first time: "Work is more important than anything else in your eyes!" ”

"Dad has only been dead for less than half a year, and you are going to become someone else's wife, is he really so unbearable? Is there no place in your heart? ”

No one thought that after listening to George's narration, the two of them would be so touched by Yingluo and Linglong, and the mother and daughter, who had just hugged and cried, now had an emotional and cognitive conflict.

Thus. How deep the love of the two girls is for their father.

Lu Xialan cried again, she didn't know how to answer the questions of her two daughters, she didn't know......

She couldn't tell them how many times she had to look for a short time, how many times she stood on the bridge of the Wuer River and looked at the surging river in a daze, how many times she called their names in her dreams, and how many times she sat in front of her husband's well-dressed mound and wept bitterly.

Only she knows the pain.

It was George's enlightenment that brought him back to his feet and the courage to live again. I believe that people can't always live in sadness and the past, and there are many wonderful and beautiful things worth feeling with your heart.

But...... These words cannot be said in any way.

It's like Yingluo inherited Guan Jiaping's good temper. Linglong inherited her pretense of strength.

George left the couch and walked quickly to the bedroom door, holding her crumbling body, looking at the two sisters and saying, "You shouldn't talk like that, she...... It's bitter enough. ”

The blood on Linglong's hands was flowing more and more, and her eyes were full of struggle. Finally, she exhaled heavily and walked out the door without looking back.

For the first time, Yingluo said willfully: "This is not my home. "Leave after my sister.

Claire winked at Bai Hao and Roy, instructed them to chase them, and sighed softly. Got up and walked in front of Lu Xialan and George, and said warmly: "Please don't take it to heart, what they say is angry." ”

Lu Xialan shook her head vigorously: "Thank you for saving them." ”

She could see that the sisters were doing well, in good spirits, and in good health, and there was no doubt that it was because of them.

"Please take care of her." Claire said to George, "I will do my best to persuade them." ”

"Don't worry." George nodded.

When Claire was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "Uncle Guan's grave ......?"

George said: "At 1287 your cemetery. ”

She nodded, left with Bai Yue, and gently closed the door.

He watched the backs of the two people disappear at the end of his sight, and then took the woman's hand and walked slowly into the bedroom, while comforting: "They are still two children, and they will understand one day." ”

Lu Xialan didn't speak, her eyes were still dazed and at a loss...... She thought, maybe Yingluo was right, she was a heartless person.

The sun was still bright outside, the young people of the meadow were laughing and laughing from time to time, and the pedestrians on the road were gradually increasing, and young mothers pushing strollers walked by.

The sun will never lower its heat because of the misery of the world, and no matter how dark the world is, it will have a heart-pounding beauty.

…………

In the evening, in a five-star hotel about seven or eight blocks away from the residential area where Lu Xialan and George lived, Claire went to a hidden place to use Ghost's communication equipment to communicate with the veteran and inform him of what had happened to Yingluo and Linglong.

Bai Yue dialed the hotel's internal line, ordered some food, and waited for the dining car to arrive.

In the few days when I arrived in "Georgia" on a special operation transport ship, I didn't have much food at all, and now that I have such an opportunity, I naturally want to eat a big meal and comfort the temple.

Linglong folded her knees, sat on the sofa, buried her head between her legs and was silent.

Yingluo stared blankly at the gentleman's orchid on the windowsill, and was also silent, as if she had lost her soul.

After Claire's persuasion, they finally stopped crying. But he still can't break free from his grief.

The death of their father was a heavy blow to them, and no one thought that they would be separated forever. I thought I would be able to reunite with my family when I came back this time, but who knew that it would end like this.

Bai Hao walked back and forth on the ground, with a complicated expression on his face. Sometimes he looked at Linglong, showing a hesitant look, and sometimes he gritted his teeth and scolded himself for being useless.

He was both brave and not brave. Brave is for the enemy, not brave for the like.

Seeing Linglong sad made him extremely heartbroken, but he didn't know how to comfort her, for fear of rejection and rejection.

It is true that he has a lot of eyes, but it does not mean that he is cheeky. On the contrary, he is more sensitive than anyone else. Just like when Hausen dug out so many unreadable materials from his room, he would be very shy and feel very shameless.

After a short time, there was a knock on the door outside, Bai Yue walked out, welcomed the waiter into the room, and took the steaming Chinese dishes from the dining car and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa one by one.

In order to take care of the taste of Yingluo and exquisite. He deliberately chose Chinese food over Western food. Or Japanese food that you've always wanted to taste.

He thought it might make them a little appetizing...... Although the odds are slim.

After something like this, of course, they couldn't eat it.

Roy handed a piece of Yingluo's usual favorite white-cut chicken in front of him, and shook his head in exchange for it.

"Yingluo, this is your favorite white-cut chicken, is it good to eat a little."

Her heart is very chaotic, and her emotions are not very high. I just want to be quiet and think about how to deal with this.

If you put it on a normal day, you will definitely say thank you, and then take a bite of the tender chicken on the fork and say with a smile that it is delicious. But today, in a rare tone of impatience, he said, "I said it...... I don't want to eat! ”

This performance is different from the past, but it is reasonable.

Roy is very honest, he never knows how to read words and feelings, he is more honest, and he always has to say what he thinks in his heart and thinks is right, even if it is sometimes very undesirable and annoying.

"Yingluo, I don't think you should treat your mother like that, those words are too hurtful."

Seeing that she didn't react, he continued: "Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and we can't stop because of a momentary setback, and live in sadness and self-blame all day long, that kind of life is meaningless. ”

"I believe that my uncle is above heaven and never wants to see his loved ones in pain and sadness, and I must hope that you can cheer up and embrace the beauty of life."

Yingluo was still silent, looking at the swaggering bluegrass under the moon shadow in a daze.

He was not discouraged, he still said what was in his heart, he didn't care about Bai Hao, and he didn't care about Bai Yue, because he was Roy, he was used to letting others know what he was thinking, and he felt that if human beings could understand each other, the world would become full of warmth, no more wars, no more persecution, and no more sorrow.

This is the path he has chosen, never regretted, never stagnant.

Because Brother Tang once sighed that it would be great if there were more people like him in the world......

Such a sentence is his confidence and courage to insist on himself.

"Alas...... In fact, my uncle really shouldn't have done that, why did he choose to fight in an extreme way, that would not bring any change, it would only continue to increase casualties and promote hatred...... Those who were maimed by him were equally pitiful and innocent. ”

He ...... It really shouldn't be done, it's not right...... In fact, it's very similar to what Alice's founders did. ”

Yingluo's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the blue grass, and the tears that had been stopped overflowed her eyes again.

The delicate body that hugged her knees tightly shrunk into a ball, like a little girl frightened by thunder on a rainy night.

She has a somewhat similar personality to Zhou Ai, but for the first time she showed her weakness.

He didn't notice this, and wanted to go on.

At this moment, Bai Hao suddenly rushed to his side, lifted his collar and pressed it against the wall, and roared, "Enough." ”

"You let me go."

He struggled hard.

Bai Hao pulled him to a relatively open place and punched him on the right side of the face.

The punch was so heavy that it stunned Roy.

Although the two of them used to do it from time to time in the past, they have always been very measured, and Bai Hao has never beaten him like he did today.

He felt the right side of his face tingle, the corners of his mouth ached, and his mouth smelled of blood.

"You know something!"

Bai Hao pressed him to the floor, pressed his chest with his arm, and said sharply: "Have you ever tasted the loss of a loved one? ”

"You don't, do you...... I have! ”

"Do you know how painful it is to watch your loved ones die and be unable to do anything about it, don't you know...... I know! ”

"Shouldn't that be done? What to do! You tell me what to do? ”

"You only see the sins that people do, you see their anger, but have you ever wondered why they do that? What forced them to follow that path? ”

"Have you thought about it? You don't! You only see the so-called 'good' in the world, but you are selectively blind to the 'darkness'. ”

"You keep saying that you want to be a messenger of justice, but you can't even save the people around you."

"No...... You are not a messenger of justice at all, you are just a coward, a coward who does not have the courage to face the darkness of the world! ”

He took a hard breath, looked at Roy, who was speechless when asked, and said, "Maybe you're right, they really shouldn't be like that to their mother...... You're used to standing on the moral high ground, have you ever tried to think about it from the emotional standpoint of both of them? ”

"What would you think if your father died not long ago, and your mother quickly threw herself into the arms of someone else...... Say, tell me! What would you think? ”

"Morality and emotion have never been the same thing!"

"There are no messengers of justice in this world at all!"

He said a lot, and Roy opened his mouth several times, but didn't know how to respond to his questioning. (To be continued......)
