Mo Peng was the first to run over, attracted by the sound.
Mo Ya, who was lying on the sofa, perked up her ears. She was especially surprised that Luo Nan would actually take out this sort of thing, especially when the vulgar language erupted from the video. She blinked her eyes, got down on her bare feet, moved to her mother's side, and stuck her head out to watch.
"F * * k me!"
Mo Peng cried out involuntarily at this very moment. His body unconsciously leaned back, because he saw the scene of Rui Wen being kicked off the stage by her older brother, Ares, in the fighting arena.
But soon, he couldn't even make a sound. He was stupefied on the spot amidst the sounds of bones being deliberately collected and the cheers of a tsunami.
Luo Nan knew that this was the scene of Jack ruthlessly strangling Ares … … The underground fighting arena under the control of Jack's gang did not allow things like "mercy" to appear. What awaited those contestants was certain death the moment they were discovered.
Rui Wen was actually going to be "eliminated" back then. She was only able to live to this day because she was an experimental subject for a related plan and enjoyed the privilege of being exempted from death.
There was no need to mention these things again. Just the scene played on the flexible screen was already enough.
The video Luo Nan took out was the video he found after the Xia City branch eliminated Jack and dealt with the information related to Jack's gang. He Yueyin pulled them out and had an expert editor carry out the selection and splicing. It was used as a stepping stone for tonight's show … … Straightforward and cruel, but it had the power to shake the hearts of people.
The video purposefully selected the scenes of Rui Wen's early life and death battles. It avoided the scenes of her neatly killing her opponent later on. It successfully created the image of a weak, pitiful, yet tenacious and unyielding lone chick.
Mo Peng was the first to fall into the trap.
His facial features unconsciously wrinkled together and his eyes squinted. He couldn't stand the blood, but he couldn't shift his gaze away. He grimaced as he watched. Especially when he saw Rui Wen struggling to get up after being knocked to the ground again and again, while the audience below the stage cheered crazily and cruelly. He just felt that the bottom line of humanity had been completely broken through.
"This is too f * cking excessive!"
No one responded to him. Instead, Mo Ya used her keen ears to discern even more information from the clamorous cheers. For example, the flat-chested witch and the like.
"A woman?" Mo Ya revealed a rare expression of shock and a bit of embarrassment. "She's a woman?"
Luo Nan was a bit surprised: "You don't know?"
Well, this was the fault of preconceived notions.
Last night, in the dimly lit alley, Rui Wen had short hair and thin clothes. She was thin and flat, without any feminine characteristics or temperament. Mo Ya's first impression of her was that she was a little boy.
After that, at the Santa Maria Charity Hall, Mo Ya left early. At the administrative center, she arrived late and did not see the specific information collected, so she misunderstood along the way.
This misunderstanding shouldn't have happened, but when it happened to Mo Ya, the effect was surprisingly good.
Mrs. Luo Shuqing was already unable to endure the scene in the video. She lightly pinched her forehead to buffer it for a bit. She heard the conversation between Mo Ya and Luo Nan and couldn't help but shudder:
"A girl? How old are you? "
"This, I'm really not too clear … … After all, I'm an orphan." Luo Nan spoke the truth.
The Xia City branch didn't find any original records of Rui Wen's time in the laboratory, but from what they could tell from her initial data in the underground fighting arena, she was as thin and weak as a six or seven year old child when she first arrived. It was only because of three years of continuous training and the effects of drugs that she grew into her current appearance.
It was also because of this abnormal growth that her age became hard to decipher. Initial estimates indicated that she was very likely thirteen or fourteen years old. But looking at it from an extreme perspective, there was also a chance that she was eight or nine years old.
Luo Nan didn't speak on this topic. He just said: "I've heard that the reason for her current situation is due to her underdevelopment. There's also the damage caused by the drug ingredients. But the doctor says that if she keeps up with nutrition, she can still develop a second time. "
The more he said this, the more sympathy he aroused.
He Yueyin had hired an expert editor with a high salary. It was really worth the money. Not only did his work clearly describe Rui Wen's experience, it also incorporated the extremely insulting remarks of the unscrupulous audience and the cruel words of life and death at every turn.
Luo Shuqing was already angry when faced with these scenes: "These lawless thugs … … Are they in Xia City? Heh, the police and of course the SCA aren't doing anything good to allow this place to continue to operate. "
The innocent Uncle didn't refute, but his gaze turned away from the video. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Luo Nan saw that the time was about right. He gently took the notebook back from his Aunt to avoid excessively agitating his family. But there were some words that needed to be said: "Right now this underground fighting arena has already been destroyed. But there's a bit of a problem with the measures taken to deal with the aftermath. So much so that a child like Rui Wen has to wander the streets. I feel that since I've run into her, I should help her out. "
With the video as a basis, whatever Luo Nan said right now had a sort of natural justice to it.
Mo Peng had already subconsciously nodded his head … … Fine, this person's opinion could be ignored.
Luo Nan shot a glance at Mo Ya. With his understanding of Mo Ya and He Yueyin and the analysis of the others, this older sister of his should have already given these two elders a heads-up, correcting their mental expectations.
Sure enough, Uncle expressed very calmly: "You're right. It's fine if you don't know. But since you've run into it, you can't ignore it. But doing charity isn't a simple task. How do you want to do it? "
They're on the right track!
Luo Nan took a deep breath and followed the instructions on the document. He organized his words a bit and spoke softly: "I've discussed this child with Brother Qin and a few other friends. Recently, the Department of Civil Affairs has organized a 'Family Recognition Society' activity for a few welfare homes that adopt vagrant orphans in the west. The main goal is to form a pair of helpers, to help the orphans come into contact with normal families and society. We feel that this activity is pretty good, so we're mainly going through the procedures today. We're going to transfer Rui Wen's relationship to the Orchid Town Welfare Home in the Forestwall District. We know the director of this welfare home. He's a pretty good person, and he's a big shot designer. "
"Family Recognition Society … …" Mo Ya had already finished searching on her wristband. She shot a glance at Luo Nan before speaking: "It's already been going on for quite a few years. It seems like the government is backing it up?"
"Yes, we've also considered this. And there's also Worker Zhai. He just so happens to be in Orchid Town and he's adopted a child. I've seen him before. "
Mrs. Luo Shuqing had a pensive look: "Worker Zhai, is he the one who helped you with your physics lessons? I remember that he works at the Crossover Electronic City, right? "
"Yes, he's also an off-campus tutor for our school's Precision Electronics Interest Society. Here, this is a photo of them. "
Luo Nan used the virtual screen of his wristband to show his family. He had asked Di Weiwu to send this photo over. They were inside the welfare home. The two had natural expressions, and the environment was set up appropriately. It even gave off a bit of an artistic feeling.
"This activity is pretty good." Mrs. Luo Shuqing thought for a moment: "It seems like the Old Xu couple from the company participated. They even posted it on their friends circle two months ago."
Luo Nan didn't respond. He just secretly clenched his fists. This was a good start. And the friends group also sent a wave of applauding emojis: "The logic is clear. The expressions are on point."
"Old Zhai made a guest appearance in the background. I can take a screenshot for him."
"They've prepared quite amply. It looks like we don't need to get involved."
"The facts have proven that a certain someone has a talent for lying."
Luo Nan recalled his previous speech. He felt that his performance was stable, and he felt a bit proud. He Yueyin's plan borrowed the name of the family recognition society, and it was his own suggestion.
He had obtained inspiration from the relationship between Worker Zhai and Di Weiwu. It looked like there was a layer separating it from direct adoption, and it was more troublesome. But after the relationship was confirmed, there was a buffer period of observation. It gave both sides a period of adaptation, and there was also the support of society. It was convenient to make a two-way choice, and it should be easier for the elders to accept it psychologically.
Moreover, with Rui Wen's current situation, living at home for a long time would undoubtedly bring disaster to the family … … This was the most realistic consideration.
"Nannan has thought things through very thoroughly." Luo Shuqing praised him sincerely. Being able to say this proved that she didn't reject this plan.
Mo Haihang followed up with his evaluation: "What's even more rare is that you're able to walk the path. You're not just going through the motions."
Luo Nan was a bit embarrassed. He hurriedly spoke the truth: "A friend helped me with the details. He said that it's better this way."
Mo Haihang and Luo Shuqing locked gazes and said: "This child's life is pitiful. Anyone who encounters her will want to extend a helping hand. We'll definitely help if we can … … Since you've already walked the path, we'll make contact with the welfare home tomorrow and understand the situation. I still need to discuss the specifics with your aunt. It's getting late. You've been running around outside all day. Go to sleep first. "
Huh? That's it?
Luo Nan was startled. Bamboo Pole reacted the fastest in the group: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The adoption is a small matter. Right now, the focus is on you. "
Papercut agreed: "Yeah. Maybe they don't want other children to know sensitive information. I think the test will come later."
Luo Nan nodded imperceptibly and looked at Mo Ya. This older sister of his simply stretched her waist. She strode her long legs and went upstairs: "Then you guys discuss it. I still have work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first … … If I have time later, I'll go take a look at the welfare home. Lan Town, right? Send me the address later. "
Mo Peng moved closer to the side. He wanted to say something, but his mother glared at him: "Go to sleep, everyone. Don't you have school tomorrow?"
"That's hard to say. If the emergency situation continues, then maybe classes will be suspended?"
"Let's go back to the house!"
Mo Peng shrugged his shoulders and pulled Luo Nan upstairs with him. At the same time, he spoke in a low voice: "I support you. Beautifully done!"
Luo Nan smiled at him. If his family had voted for him, then he would have already won by now. Of course, this wasn't the truth, but it more or less explained a kind of momentum.
The two went upstairs and returned to their respective rooms. Luo Nan changed into home clothes, but he didn't wash up. This was because he knew that tonight's test had yet to end.
Sure enough, the sound of knocking came from the door not long after.
He took a deep breath and went forward to open the door. His uncle, Mo Haihang, stood outside by himself: "Is it convenient? I want to understand a bit more about this matter. "
Luo Nan nodded and invited Mo Haihang in.
Mo Haihang sat on a chair in front of the desk, while Luo Nan sat on the bed. The room was a bit silent in the beginning, but Mo Haihang soon broke everything:
"You've seen Rui Wen's fight?"
"I've seen it."
"Live?"
"Yeah."
