Chapter 48
Looking at the direction pointed by the little girl, Fade Chen saw that Director Chang was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was bald and had a fat beer belly. He was happily drinking and chatting withhis colleagues.
"Little sister, is Director Chang from this factory?" Lily Wei pointed to the factory. "He owes your mothermoney?"
The little girl nodded and said, "He is from the factory. My mother used to work in the factory, but shegot hurt. They didn't pay for the medical bills, and they didn't pay my mother's wages."
"What?" Lily Wei was so angry that she almost broke into rage, she wanted to teach Director Chang alesson.
However, Fade Chen stopped Lily Wei in time and winked at her, saying, "Let's talk in another place."
Fade Chen leaned down and said to the little girl, "Little girl, where is your mother? I bet she hasn'teaten yet. Let's go and see her and bring her some lunch. Is that okay?"
Speaking of lunch, the little girl began salivating. Then she nodded and agreed to Fade Chen'sproposal.
So, the two took the little girl to another restaurant on the side of the road. They ordered two portions ofmeat dishes, packed them up, and then walked toward the little girl's house.
Lily Wei poked Fade Chen and said, "Why won't you let me teach Director Chang a lesson?"
Fade Chen said in a low voice, "If you took action just now. At most, you can fire Director Chang andthen criticize him. But you will alert the enemy, which will make the factory heighten their guard."
"What's more, do you think that if Donald Qin is really making some shady deals, will it only be a matterof violating an employee's salary? I suspect that there are far more serious matters behind this. So, it'snot too late to go to the little girl's home before continuing the investigation."
"Even if my guess is wrong, I am still a doctor who can treat the little girl's mother."
After listening to Fade Chen's explanation, Lily Wei blushed slightly. She didn't expect that as themanager of a company where she had been working for many years, she was so impulsive when shedealt with trouble. She was not as considerate as Fade Chen who was just a rookie.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the two followed the little girl to a low-rise building. The buildinglooked like an old house built in the seventies and eighties of the last century. It was dilapidated beyondrecognition.
The wall finishes were mottled and cracks appeared on the wall. Even the railings on the roof half-collapsed. It was possible to believe that the house could be blown down by a substantial storm.
The small building was dilapidated, but there were more than ten units of families inhabiting the house.The little girl and her mother lived in a temporarily small shed behind the small building.
The shed was not big and there was a bed inside. Beside it was a wardrobe covered with woodenstrips which were nailed onto it.
Under the eaves outside the shed, there was a wooden table and two stools, beside which was abriquette furnace, which was burning a pot of water.
Hearing the sound outside, there was a cough in the room and a woman's voice. "Little Maggie, you'reback!"
The little girl came in with Fade Chen and Lily Wei. She gently called "Mom" and then put the foodbeside her mother.
The woman looked at the delicious food, then looked at Fade Chen and Lily Wei in vigilance and said,"Who are.."
Fade Chen quickly explained with a smile, "Miss, don't get me wrong. We are tourists passing by. Wejust met Little Maggie on the street. My wife likes her very much, so we came to see you." With this,Fade Chen pointed to Lily Wei.
Lily Wei glanced at Fade Chen, but still smiled and nodded. She said to the woman, "Miss, are youhungry? Come on, eat up. Otherwise, the food will be cold in no time."
The woman nodded and began to eat. The little girl Little Maggie also ate with a small bowl. However,she just ate mouthful and mouthful of rice and rarely ate the side dishes, especially the meat dishes.
Lily Wei couldn't help but ask why. The little girl said that it was rare to eat meat dishes, so she had tokeep for the next few meals to allow her mother to recover her health.
The little girl's tender and sincere words made Lily Wei's heart beat faster. She wanted to hold the littlegirl in her arms and dote on her.
Fade Chen seized the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Miss, I heard from Little Maggie thatyou used to work in the factory nearby, but then you seemed to have injured yourself, can I knowwhat's going on?"
When he brought up the factory, the woman's eyes suddenly tightened, and she put down the bowlsand chopsticks. Her expression was a little strange.
Fade Chen quickly said, "Miss, I mean no harm. I am a doctor. I want to ask you did how you injureyour leg, so can see if there is a way to cure your leg." "Can you cure my legs?"
The woman's eyes sparkled with anticipation Fade Chen nodded and said, "I'm confident, but I need toknow the cause to figure out the best way to treat it."
The woman was so excited that she couldn't even finish her food. She began to talk about how her legswere broken.
