Why did her parents live here? It was probably related to the slave trade during World War II. They were born to be slaves.
Those who were liberated peacefully and had equal rights restored were only those who were obedient. For someone like Angela, who was labeled a criminal, she would never be able to raise her head again. She suppressed her disdain for the crimes that grew in madness, but she couldn't blame others. After all, her parents had broken the law.
A poor girl with good grades would make others complain about the unfairness of fate.
However, a girl who smoked, drank, and had tattoos would only make others criticize her for abandoning herself to vice. Angela belonged to the latter group from birth.
Although she and Cook grew up together, they were never friends. There were even some conflicts between the two, such as when Kazuki Fuuma first appeared.
Doctor Fujen was picked up by Angers two months ago. When everyone pooled their money to buy medicine for Doctor Fujen, Cook refused to take out his share of the money. Because of this, the two of them got into a fight, and their relationship became even worse.
"Actually, the place you see isn't like this."
The people living here had no way to see the light. They were poor and didn't have any money. They were constantly tortured by hunger and sickness. Because of various untreatable diseases, everyone could die in the next second. Because of this, everyone just muddled along.
No one had expected that their kindness would save a doctor.
Wan Qianqian added, "It's indeed surprising."
Doctors were a profession that was highly respected and treasured all over the world.
He explained that he was from Japan, knew medicine, and knew English. As long as they allowed him to live in the slums, he would treat everyone for free.
Ever since Fuuma arrived, this place slowly changed. He helped treat everyone's illnesses, provided free psychological training, and even started teaching the children here. He advised everyone to take life seriously and slowly get on the right path.
Wan Qianqian was surprised by this description. She didn't expect Kazuki Fuuma to be so useful.
Angela sighed sadly. "That's why I told you from the very beginning that he's really important to us."
"I really don't know much about Dr. Fuuma. I only know that he came here illegally, but this is a place outside of the law, and the people who live here all carry secrets that can't be revealed to others. We understand each other, so we didn't try to pry too much."
When he first woke up, he was afraid every day, afraid that he would be captured. After he adapted to life in the outside world, he started asking around. Every day, he would see doctors, buy medicine, and ask for information. He told us that he was here to find someone very important to him.
Wan Qianqian had an answer in her heart. "Who is he looking for?"
"On the day you came to find me, I happened to participate in a debate in a town and found the woman called Sakura Sakura."
"What's his relationship with Sakura Sakura?"
Angela seemed a little sad as she smiled. "Dr. Fuuma didn't tell us honestly, but I think it should be a lover. He would only reveal such a smile and gaze when talking about the person he deeply loves. Only then would he be so gentle to the bone. For the woman called Sakai Sakura, he could give up everything."
Everything connected. Wan Qianqian secretly said, "So that's how it is."
Kazuki Fuuma escaped from the Crimson Army and came here to look for Sakai Sakura. Unexpectedly, he ended up living together with these slum dwellers. The two of them desperately wanted to be together with each other, but they didn't know that their lover was living in the same small town as them.
Fate had played a huge joke on them.
"I've already told you everything I know. Doctor Fuuma didn't reveal anything else either."
"Okay, that's enough. Thank you, Angela."
The other party waved his hand and retorted very seriously, "I will answer whatever you ask me, because I want to thank you."
Wan Qianqian smiled and knew what she was talking about. "You're welcome."
"Finally, I still want to ask you a question. I know that you don't want to harm Dr. Fuuma, but I don't know what exactly happened here. But I know that Miss Wan is definitely not an ordinary person. Do you know where Fuuma went? "
She could vaguely sense the thoughts of the girl in front of her, but she still told the truth, "He's being controlled by someone. His life is temporarily not in danger."
"Then will you be able to save him? Or will he still be able to live? "
"Yes, he will definitely come out alive. I promise you."
Everyone walked forward step by step in the midst of constant promises and guilt. In Wan Qianqian's opinion of herself, her biggest weakness was that she paid too much attention to herself and liked to make promises. That was why she had to grit her teeth and fulfill other people's expectations step by step.
Angela nodded happily. Before she left, she said, "Miss Wan, I think it's still necessary to tell you that I've quit gambling and won't work in the underground casino anymore. I've found a job in a coffee shop. Perhaps I can also start a new life, that kind of serious life."
Of course you can. Before Wan Qianqian could say anything encouraging, the phone rang.
In the restaurant on the second floor of St. White Hotel.
When she arrived, Masao Sakai had already ordered a table full of food waiting for her.
Until the person appeared in front of him, he still looked a little surprised. "I really didn't expect you to really come."
Wan Qianqian pulled a chair and sat down. "Because I want to know about Sakai Sakura. You must have guessed it, so you deliberately said that on the phone."
"If I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have come to the appointment?"
She was stunned for a moment, but still nodded. "Well, no."
Masao Sakai smiled crookedly, but there was some loneliness in his smile. "How's the wound on your body?"
"It's already healed. It's not that serious. After taking the medicine, I don't think there will even be a scar."
"That's good, that's good!"
He repeated this sentence twice. Perhaps he was really worried about Wan Qianqian's wound, or there was another reason.
Not long after Wan Qianqian sat down, the waiter came up with a cup of hot cocoa and placed it in front of her. Masao Sakai, who was sitting opposite, reached out and said, "I still remember that you liked to drink this when you were in Japan. Of course, it's not as good as the one at home, but it's also good. Try it."
"Well, it's pretty good. Should we talk about Sakai Sakura?"
The other party poured a glass of red wine for himself. "Yes, you can also tell from the name that Sakai Sakura is a member of our Sakai family. The underworld of Japan legally calls it a society. She and I grew up in the society. Our relationship is ordinary. Under the pressure of the family rules, we work hard separately. Plus, there are many families, and her status is not very high, so there is not much opportunity to speak until I become the family master."
For the concept of the underworld society, Wan Qianqian did not understand much. In her mind, the gentle and capable image of Koizumi Keiko, coupled with the scene in court, made people full of admiration. She asked, "She assisted you?"
"Sort of. She is responsible for dealing with trouble. You can understand it this way. There are some things and people in the society that need to be dealt with in a tough way. Sakai Sakura is good in this regard. Gradually, her position in the society became more and more important. I also began to put her in an important position, and for a time, she became my right-hand man."
Tough way? Wan Qianqian did not want to understand, because she also did not want to understand Sakai Sakura. How cold the conditions under which a girl made of water could be turned into ice?
As he spoke, Sakai Masao finished his glass of red wine. "Until one day, she reappeared in front of everyone after disappearing for nearly half a month. I really thought that she would never come back, and I was even sad for her for half a month. I was worried about her injuries, and my heart ached for her. I didn't expect that …" I did not expect that she would withdraw from the society after seeing me for the first time. "
She did not want to stay in the underworld society for the rest of her life. Wan Qianqian asked, "Why can't I?"
"Others may be able to, but she can't. She is a member of the Sakai family, and she carries the glory of the family. She has dedicated herself to the family for generations. Will you withdraw from your own family? This is the fate of the Sakai family! "
Wan Qianqian tried to understand this sentence, and even used the hot-blooded anime she had seen, but she still could not do anything. This concept of the coexistence of family glory and personal destiny probably existed in the Qing Dynasty. Although she did not understand and did not agree with it, she still respected it. "Okay, I understand. Then?"
"Later, I sent someone to follow her and found that she was very close to a doctor named Kazuki Fuuma. The two were already living together and in a relationship. Sakai Sakura wanted to withdraw from the family because she was with this man. This kind of ordinary civilian is not worthy of the Sakai family. Such a mistake is not allowed to happen!"
Hearing this, she could almost guess the ending of the story. Wan Qianqian reached under the table and gripped her clothes tightly. "So, what are you going to do?"
Masao Sakai said very calmly, as if he had just eaten something for lunch. "I sent someone to kill Kazuki Fuuma."
Human life is more important than heaven, that was the motto of every criminal lawyer.
Every time she dealt with a case involving human life, it was as if she had personally experienced it, but it was inevitable that there were many places in the world that treated human life like grass. "Doing this has broken the law."
"To be honest, many of the things I have done have broken the law. All businessmen are dishonest. Marx once said that to earn 200% profit, it is necessary to crush 200% of morality. All successful businessmen know how to exploit loopholes in the law, such as Gu Tanfeng."
Wan Qianqian raised her head and looked straight at him. She said with certainty, "But Gu Tanfeng did not kill anyone."
