Volume 10 – Chapter 20: Pleb (Part 1)

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.
