Chen Lun folded the newspaper, inserted it into the gap between the backrest of the bench, and left.
Perhaps the next resident who comes here to relax can learn for free what major events have happened in Amber City recently.
He looked at the sky and walked slowly towards 7 Denton Street where the flower shop was located.
On the way, he was still thinking about the connection between Senator Daniel and Dolly, hoping to find clues about Dolly's current whereabouts through this.
But after all, Dolly's assassination of the congressman would not happen until two years later, and there were too few clues at the moment to make any inferences.
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
It has been two days since I came to Amber City, but there is still no substantial gain.
"Hurry up... If it doesn't work, just take the risk and try the inner city."
The inner city has sufficient security forces, and there are shelters and various churches behind it. The strength of the official extraordinary people in Amber City is not comparable to that of a small place like Emerald Town.
Chen Lun didn't want to take risks unless he had no other choice.
Back at 7 Denton Street, he went straight upstairs and home.
I opened the door, but was suddenly stunned.
He saw Flo Yin chatting with a guest in the living room.
And this guest was Connie who lived downstairs.
"You're back."
Flo Yin's ethereal voice said, with a hint of joy in her tone.
"This is… ?"
Chen Lun poured himself a glass of water and looked at Connie in confusion.
The girl pursed her lips, looked up at him with some struggle, took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Jack, I... I think you must be in need of a maid.
Miss Floin is blind, so her daily life will be inconvenient... I should be able to help."
After Connie spoke haltingly at first, she became much more fluent later on.
"And I can clean for you, wash your clothes, and keep your room tidy...
I only need 2 silver trophies per week, no, 1 silver trophy and 50 copper crores are enough."
After saying that, Connie looked at Chen Lun expectantly.
Chen Lun frowned slightly. He and Fuluoyin had too many secrets and it was not suitable for them to have too close contact with ordinary people.
Connie was always paying attention to the expression of the black-haired young man. When she saw Chen Lun frowning, her heart sank.
Just as Chen Lun was about to refuse, Fuluoyin said:
"Connie lost her original job, and she didn't want to trouble Mrs. Caroline because she helped her so much."
When Chen Lun heard this, he remembered what Kent said when he was beaten last night. Maybe Connie lost her job because of that guy.
He looked at Flo Yin and thought it would be nice to have someone to chat with her. He believed that with Flo Yin's intelligence, she would not casually reveal the secrets of the mysterious realm to others.
"Aren't you still in class?"
Chen Lun sat down with the cup in his hand and asked while drinking water.
"I finish my classes at four o'clock every afternoon. I will come here on time to clean up. I can also go out for a walk with Miss Floin on weekends."
Connie said nervously.
"Well, then, I'll leave the hygiene to you from now on... I'll give you 2 silver trophies per week, is that ok?"
"Sure! Thank you, Mr. Jack!"
Connie seemed very happy. She stood up with her hands clenched, and then looked at Floin.
"Thank you too, Miss Floin!"
Flo Yin smiled in response.
"So I'll come over to work tonight, Mr. Jack?"
"No need, come back tomorrow night."
Chen Lun felt that the girl in front of him had become more energetic. She seemed a little decadent before.
Although he didn't want to dampen Connie's enthusiasm, he still needed to think about his next plan tonight and didn't want to be disturbed.
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie curtseyed to the man who looked younger than herself and left respectfully.
He closed the door gently when he left.
Turning her head, Connie took a deep breath and smiled brightly.
At this moment, her heart was filled with joy. After losing her job, she felt that the world had fallen into darkness, but now a ray of light called hope appeared.
The family was running out of money, she still needed to go to school, and her father also needed to take the "fruit nectar" from the Red Apple Church on time to stay alive.
If you don't find a job soon, things will only get worse.
She was full of gratitude to Mr. Jack, who brought her hope. At the same time, she also slightly changed her inherent impression of him and no longer simply thought that he was a bastard who liked to bully others.
…
The water beach.
The courtyard of the Flower and Bird Tavern.
Gary, the boss of the Iron Fist Gang, has just seen off the distinguished guest from the inner city, Butler Feldman.
He had a gloomy look on his face at the moment, and he raised his strong arm and punched forward.
Peng!!
The straw hat flew away, leaving a deep fist mark on the wooden stake in front of him.
“Damn it!”
Then he rushed forward again and beat the wooden stake violently, as if trying to vent his inner frustration.
"money!"
Peng!!
"artisan!"
Bang!!
"What's the point of rushing me!? I'm already thinking of a solution!"
Gary roared, jumped up, turned around and kicked, the powerful kick cut through the air, making a shrill sound.
Peng!!
This kick directly pulled out the wooden stake by its roots and it flew away with a whistling sound.
"Boss, the person has been arrested."
A leather jacket gang member came over and said in awe.
Gary turned away with a cold face, and two more of his men came closer. One handed him a cut cigar and lit it, while the other put a felt coat on him.
Then, two gang members carried a young man with a bruised face and nose, came in front of Gary, and forced him to kneel down.
The man was trembling and didn't dare to look up. It was Chen Lun's neighbor Kent.
"What do you think we should do if we can't pay the money back? Hmm, Mr. Kent?"
Gary asked casually while smoking a cigar.
Kent was shaking constantly. He had just seen the Iron Fist Gang leader kick a wooden stake away, and he was very scared.
"I... I've already made Connie lose her job. Just give me a little more time, and I can definitely force her to work here!"
His tone was full of pleading.
Gary shook his head, as if he disliked Kent for being too slow, or as if he had no expectations for this matter.
Kent was filled with despair.
He seemed to see the other party waving his hands the next second, and then he was dragged down, brutally killed, and thrown into the drainage ditch.
Perhaps it was the strong desire to survive that gave Kent an idea.
"Boss Gary! There are two new outsiders living in the building where I live, and they look very rich!
One of the girls is very pretty and she is blind... I can find a way to help you catch her!"
Gary stopped smoking his cigar and stared at him, silent.
Just as Kent was getting anxious, Gary spoke up:
"What are you going to do?"
Kent was delighted.
He thought about it and told his plan.
