Songshan Orphanage had just been built. It was supposed to be the courtyard of a wealthy family, but it had been burned down. Now the rubble and ruins have been cleared away, and a courtyard with a four-story main building has been built. The colorful flower beds behind the building are still preserved, which was originally the back garden of the wealthy family.
The orphanage was one of the first projects the Combat Corps started after entering Songshan City, and it was built at an extremely fast pace.
Lu Ming did not go to the orphanage, but entrusted Bai Shuixian and other girls to deliver a large number of canned food, clothes and other supplies.
When they came back with red eyes, Lu Ming knew that it was wrong for him not to go.
Many of those children have experienced extremely cruel human tragedies. I don’t want to face them for fear of affecting myself to do some impulsive behavior. However, with my current identity, if I act impulsively, I may cause bloodshed and affect too many people.
…
As night fell, the women having dinner in the restaurant of the RV were extremely quiet.
Usually when Lu Ming is around, they are quiet, but the atmosphere today is a little different.
"Okay, I'll go to Longan in a few days, and you all should go too. The lawyers from Donghai will take over our work, and you should change your mood. You've been too depressed during this period." As he spoke, Lu Ming took a sip of milk.
Indeed, it is better to visit the families of the victims, but what kind of tragic scenes do you hear when facing the survivors
I was almost completely surrounded by a strong and sad mood, not to mention those chilling tragedies.
Those are like perverted murderers who commit cruel acts such as disembowelment and caesarean section while alive. In peacetime, the cruel and atrocious crimes committed by perverted murderers are so horrifying that any one of them would be extremely terrifying. And in wartime, the gangs are like a collective infection, with many bandits engaging in similar behaviors. Just think about it, what kind of hellish world is this
"Those people should go to hell!" Xue Zihan said angrily with red eyes.
Among the women, Shangguan Yusuo was the youngest and she was never allowed to participate.
"I don't know whether they will go to hell or not, but they will definitely go to the gallows. It's just a matter of time." Lu Ming said calmly.
The women all nodded and fell silent again.
After a while, Lu Ming coughed and said, "Let's change the subject! Let's talk about something happy."
"It will cost a lot of money for disaster relief and reconstruction in Montenegro, right?" Bai Narcissus asked.
It is obvious that Songshan City is now a huge burden, with expenses everywhere, including rescuing refugees and building new cities.
Lu Ming nodded: "Now that we have entered Songshan Road, we must regard the people of Songshan Road as members of our Montenegro civil society. We cannot just sit back and do nothing because they have been severely damaged by gangs." Indeed, the special funds allocated from Montenegro are in the tens of millions.
However, the Montenegrin representative has also applied for a special grant from the Eastern Alliance at the secretariat. The requested aid amount is twice the amount allocated by Montenegro. As for how much can be approved, it depends on Representative Zheng Shanxing. He is a good diplomat and is becoming more and more adept at his work.
Bai Shuixian said, "Of course, but I didn't expect that as a senior official of the Anshan Southeastern Presidential Party, you can occupy a piece of land, not only can't plunder, but also have to pay money. This is unheard of."
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Bai Shuixian takes care of her own mobile "home", but even so, it is still a routine, just like when Pei and Audrey helped her manage the home in Antigua. Bai Shuixian also got an account, which is the same as Antigua's family account, with one million yuan in it.
This money is used to cover household expenses, and the person in charge of the account is also responsible for making simple investments. It is best if the money in the account, which is used to cover household expenses, can be offset by the income.
Of course, with this mobile home, it is difficult to invest in accounts nowadays.
Even before coming to Songshan, one had to withdraw money from a place with a bank and exchange it for supplies.
However, the banking system in Songshan City recovered very quickly, and the difficulties encountered were not as great as expected.
A few days ago, Lu Ming asked Bai Shuixian to take out 500,000 yuan from her account to set up a relief fund, which would be supervised by her and managed by Kan Santai. Its main task was to find and fill in the gaps and provide relief to the Songshan refugees who were temporarily not covered by the official network.
Yesterday, Lu Ming transferred another one million into the account. In addition to the 500,000 to make up for the original deficit, Bai Shuixian was required to continue investing the remaining 500,000 into the relief fund.
"I didn't expect that the master would be so rich..." Bai Shuixian's beautiful eyes were like water, and she glanced at Lu Ming and chuckled.
Lu Ming smiled, "Oh? What are you talking about?"
Bai Shuixian smiled and said, "Given the master's status and position, the development of Black Mountain, and the expansion speed of the Black Mountain Corps, it is reasonable for the master to be rich. However, what I have seen and heard while following the master all the way north, including the master's telegrams, telephone instructions, and various documents from Black Mountain, have opened my eyes. Your Highness the Prince and the master, in governing the people, have all had great thoughts and ideas..." She was stuck for a moment and looked at Xue Zihan, "Sister? How do you say that word?"
"Big ideals, big ambitions..." Xue Zihan reminded in a low voice. Apparently, the girls had discussed these in private.
"Yes, great ideals and ambitions. The master is a rare man in the world, and I think His Royal Highness is even more extraordinary. Therefore, the master is so rich, and I am a little puzzled..." Bai Narcissus said this, secretly glancing at Lu Ming's expression, "I am with the master day and night, and the master is definitely not a hypocrite. He is not the kind of person who talks about ideology but is obsessed with money. The master's thinking..." She sighed softly, "Beside the master, I really feel like a country bumpkin. I was too ignorant before, and the people I met were also ignorant. No matter how high their status was, compared with the master, they were all extremely ignorant. Master, I am not saying that they are stupid, I mean..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I understand what you mean, but if you keep talking, I will really become a Buddha or a saint! But if I were a saint, wouldn't you all be sent away? Why do you like to see beautiful women around you?"
The girls immediately felt shy, yet secretly happy. No matter whether they were willing to follow "him" or not, it was incredible to hear him praising their beauty.
Lu Ming added, "As for the money, I have some investments in Donghai. Of course, I won't talk about that. You came late. When I was in Shengjing, I won more than 30 million in a gambling game. I beat those Japanese chaebols, opium tycoons, and brigade commanders until they had nothing left but their pants!" He smiled and said, "I miss that gambling game very much. I'm still thinking about when I can have another gambling game like this."
Bai Shuixian and the others were stunned for a moment, then all started giggling. They probably could not have imagined that this was how the master got his money.
"I was just saying that Master spends money like water. So that's how it is. Compared to Master, Ren Shuai is a very stingy local rich man..." Bai Shuixian suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Master, when are we leaving?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow, we will take the train to Shengjing first, and then transfer to Long'an from Shengjing."
After chatting and laughing, the girls finished their dinner and left, except Bai Narcissus, who was kept by Lu Ming.
"Come to my room tonight..." Lu Ming coughed. It had been a few months since the last time. Although she had been tormented by him a lot, she should have recovered by now.
Glancing at the little beauty's fair face and creamy skin, and thinking of the pleasure of riding on her, his heart immediately became hot.
Her skin was as white as cream, and when she curled up into a ball and held him in his arms, she conquered him fiercely. It was such a pleasant feeling.
And when I think about it, I am actually quite miserable. Although I seem to have a lot of women, there are only a few with whom I can have real physical intimacy.
Moreover, even Liuli, who also had a secret method to be in harmony with him, would need more than a month to recuperate after serving him, not to mention other people.
Therefore, I often live a sexless life.
Bai Shuixian was surprised and happy, but also worried that she had heard it wrongly, "Master, what did you say?"
Lu Ming coughed, feeling a little guilty, "Are you okay?"
“Then, then I’ll go take a bath first…” Bai Narcissus stood up gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, “It should, it should be fine…” She was pleasantly surprised at first, but when she thought of that night, she seemed a little scared again. She had been flying on the top of the fairy palace continuously, watching flowers bloom and fade. It was not a feeling of bathing in death that a normal person could experience. However, the sequelae were really serious. It was probably because she had indulged herself too much. It was like condensing several months of happy experiences into one night. The extreme happiness was like entering a fantasy world. From her little fingers to her little toes, all the bones in her body were numb. It was an unforgettable magical experience. She felt that she had lived in vain before. Thinking of the past, she felt dull and disgusted.
However, this extreme pleasure also caused me to feel tired all over my body for several months. I just felt better, but then again, I am tired, but I am not sick. I even feel stronger. This is very strange.
"I will be more careful today..." Lu Ming walked over with a smile, and as she exclaimed softly, he hugged her beautiful little body and lifted her up with a smile: "Let's go take a bath together."
Bai Narcissus was extremely shy, her beautiful eyes tightly closed. Her dark red skirt slid down gently at the knees held by Lu Ming, revealing a pair of well-shaped and pitiful feet in embroidered shoes. She wanted to shrink back shyly at this moment, and her small beautiful curve was tensed.
Inside, the charm is endless.
…
In Long'an, the provincial capital of Longbei, five-party talks among Heishan, Longbei, Northern Xinjiang, Dongying and Haixi are underway.
It concerns the fate of Anshan Province, but there is no Anshan representative, and the parties are arguing over who can represent the current Anshan orthodoxy. Heishan and Longbei support Miao Baifeng and his son An Mingde, while Dongying and Haixi support An Mingyuan. In this regard, Beijiang remains neutral.
While the parties were arguing fiercely, Lu Ming came to Longan.
In Songshan Castle, a team of lawyers from Donghai began to get involved, and the progress of evidence collection was greatly accelerated.
In fact, because the case of Gui Linghua v. Jiali Electric Appliances is entering a critical moment, the legal team coming from Donghai this time is not the most elite force. There are many people, dozens of them, but most of them are affairs officers. There are not many lawyers, let alone top lawyers. Because Lu Ming decided to personally lead the case of Ma Quanyou's gang as Commissioner Zhang, there is no need to tilt the top lawyer resources to this side.
What's more, Lu-Liu-Stewart-Wang Law Firm has gradually become one of the top law firms in Donghai, and the case in the Northern Territory should not affect its normal operation.
At the five-party talks, the representatives sent by each party are all very influential figures.
For example, in Longbei, the chief representative participating in the negotiations was Ren Jichang, the younger brother of the governor Ren Zhonglin.
The person sent by Japan was Saburo Tojo, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Office.
The person sent by Northern Xinjiang was Qi Huaide’s eldest son Qi Zongxun, who was 27 years old and was stepping onto such an important political stage for the first time. He was obviously the successor trained by Qi Huaide.
The representatives of Haixi were also Liu Bangchang's trusted aides.
In a meeting of this level, Wang Ding, who was sent by Lu Ming, seemed to be of insufficient importance.
Therefore, Lu Ming came to Longan as Commissioner Zhang.
