They didn't dare go out to purchase things easily, but fortunately they had enough food and drink. Before being selected into the choir and entering the church, Levi had purchased some daily necessities in advance and left them here just in case, but he didn't buy things like clothes at that time.
When the notice was stuffed in, both of them became alert.
After waiting for a long time and hearing no movement from outside, Levi put down the teacup in his hand, walked to the door and picked up the notice from the ground.
After just a quick glance, he made the expected "tsk tsk" sound, and then handed the notice to Feng Zi.
When Feng Zi saw the content above, her face turned extremely ugly and pale.
"How could they distort the facts like this!"
The police department’s announcement of the incident to the public did indeed “slightly embellish” the facts.
In order to maintain the image of the church, the bishop's ugly appearance and evil deeds will naturally not be disclosed.
In the police department's announcement, he was still a kind, fair, and merciful bishop, and all other blames and bad things were of course put on Levi's head.
This biological man with biological patent number 626 who escaped from Tian'en Company is so evil that he is oozing with festering evil!
Not only did he bewitched and abducted the eldest lady who had returned from the central government, he was also a sadistic pervert. He was the one who committed the coal mine murder case in the Barrier Field Area, and he was also the one who committed Yu Guang's murder case in the past year!
Not only that, he also sneaked into the church, dug up the graves in the cemetery, and turned himself into a monster through evil biological research!
In the end, the upright and kind Bishop Twilight discovered the true identity of the biological man, but was brutally murdered. He died in the backyard of the church on that rainy night!
After reading this notice in which not a single word is true, Feng Zi was extremely angry!
"This is blatant slander! They are throwing all kinds of dirty water on you! You just escaped from that experimental field a week ago, how could you commit such a crime! They don't even care about the most basic logic, they just distort the facts!"
Levi didn't care at all and waved his hand.
"It's not a big deal. There's no need to get so angry. It doesn't matter what they say. Didn't the police department issue a notice saying that I abducted you and eloped with you? I've never seen you so angry."
"This is different! Bishop Twilight has a very high reputation in Yu Guang. Almost all the workers regard him as Yu Guang's spokesperson! Now the police department says that you killed him, and the previous murder case and the empty grave case were framed on you. This means that all the workers in Yu Guang are your enemy! They must hate you!"
Fengzi's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"You helped the families of the workers get their compensation back, you helped the boy find his eyes, and you helped the people of this land clean up the real scourge! But now they all want to scold you and hate you!"
When Levi heard her say this, he couldn't help but scratch his forehead, thinking to himself, am I so great?
He handed Fengzi an apple and comforted her.
"Calm down, calm down, there's really no need. A good reputation or a bad reputation is not important to me."
Fengzi took the apple, but still looked stubborn.
She took out the recorder she brought from the border market from her pocket and looked at Levi seriously.
"How about I anonymously mail what Bishop Twilight said that night to the newspaper?"
Levi looked at her in surprise.
"You even recorded it!"
"I recorded the moment he started talking about organ fusion. I was just thinking that if we were arrested later, I could use this recording to ask my teacher at the central government to exonerate you and prove that you are a good person."
After being given a nice guy card, Levi shook his head nonchalantly.
"It's no use sending it to the newspapers. They won't publish the truth."
Fengzi pursed her lips and did not mention sending the recording to the newspaper. Instead, she lowered her head and fiddled with the recording, specially cutting it out and keeping it, while whispering.
"They can't keep it secret forever."
Chapter 41 Request
After staying in the room until the evening, Levi took out the piece of paper given to him by Li Ming from his pocket.
There was only one address on it - No. 1, 118st Labor Community.
The church route is not feasible, and this is the only way Levi can think of that might help him enter the White Tower.
Although the labor union president named Li Ming seems to have no power at all, even if he is a dog of the parliament, it is not something that Yu Guang's workers can become just because they want to.
He is obviously the highest-ranking person among the workers. If we contact him, how much help can he provide?
Li Wei looked at the address on the piece of paper and thought about it, and finally decided to go find Li Ming and give it a try.
Fengzi definitely couldn't follow this time. Her physical problems seemed to be even more serious. Not only did she return to her previous limping state, but she also coughed frequently and looked extremely weak.
Levi didn't know that this was because she had taken medicine to forcibly repair her body, but he could guess that she had paid a great price to return to normal.
So that night, Levi let Fengzi stay alone in the rental house, and he opened the door and walked into the rainy night, sneaking towards the direction of Block 1.
Tian Yuan transferred almost all the police officers to Yu Guang. Not only did they conduct carpet searches during the day, they also arranged patrols everywhere at night. Whenever they met someone on the street in the middle of the night, they would arrest them without saying a word.
After obtaining [Cell Regeneration], Levi's control over his body became even better. He silently avoided all the police officers on the road, passed through the entire 2nd Block, and finally arrived at No. 1, 118st Block.
This is a house that looks no different from other sheds. The lights inside the house have been turned off and it seems that the owner has gone to bed.
He knocked gently on the shed door.
After a while, a vigilant question came from inside the room.
"Who?"
"The person who asked you to help return his eyes." Levi replied in a low voice.
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a few seconds. Then, without turning on the light, a faint sound of footsteps approached the door and opened it.
Li Ming's weathered face poked out, and after looking around and seeing that there was no one following Li Wei, he led him into the house.
As the president of the labor union, Yu Guang is the head of hundreds of thousands of workers, but his home is surprisingly plain and simple.
The furnishings and decoration were no different from the rental house Levi rented.
When Levi was brought in, the bedroom door was closed. It was obvious that Li Ming's wife and children were inside. He did not want his family to meet Levi and involve them in this matter.
"I would like to ask you for help. Is there any way for us to enter the White Tower?"
Levi didn't exchange pleasantries or say any unnecessary nonsense, he just went straight to the point.
In response to this, Li Ming shook his head decisively.
"You can't go in. Usually only councillors or big factory owners are qualified to enter the tower. Even during the Glorious Festival, only some Yaoguang residents with special identities are invited to celebrate the festival together. No one in Yu Guang, except those related to the church, including me, is qualified to do so."
Hearing this answer, Levi couldn't help but smack his lips.
However, Li Ming was silent for a while, then he stared at Levi and spoke.
"But if you just want to sneak into Yaoguang and get closer to the tower, I might be able to find a way."
This made Levi raise his head again. He thought for a moment and felt that it would be okay to sneak into Yaoguang first. It would be closer to the White Tower and it would be easier to find an opportunity.
Moreover, because of the incidents between him and Fengzi, the police department has launched a thorough investigation into Yu Guang, and it is not safe for them to continue staying here.
"Okay, you arrange it. What time and place?"
"Tomorrow morning, a batch of metal parts produced in the Barrier Field will be pulled into Yaoguang by train. We will need to stop at Yuguang's special station to resupply coal. You will wait for me next to Station 6 before 76 a.m. Don't let anyone else see you. I will take you in."
"That's settled then."
Just when Levi thought that this trip was over and that being able to sneak into Yaoguang was a good result, and was about to leave, Li Ming stopped him with a hesitant look on his face.
"Can I ask you to do me a favor after you go to Yaoguang?"
When he saw Levi's eyes on him, he hurriedly spoke again.
"This favor has nothing to do with my helping you go to Yaoguang. Even if you don't agree, I will still fulfill our agreement just now. But if you are willing to help, I can pay you a certain amount of compensation."
Levi, who was about to get up, sat back in his chair and picked up the untouched cup of tea on the table.
"tell me the story."
"I have a niece. Her father and I were brothers in love. Later, her parents died in a factory accident, and she was the only one left in the family. She had a hard life as a girl, and she was very strong-willed. She didn't want to accept my financial support for nothing. At that time, there happened to be a member of parliament with a good reputation who wanted to find a few suitable maids from Yu Guang, so I introduced her to him."
"I have been communicating with her over the years. She said that she lives well there and that the host family takes good care of her, but I always feel that she is hiding something. After you arrive in Yaoguang, can you help me go and see her? If she is really living well, then there is no need to disturb her. If the family treats her badly, please take her out and I will find a way to bring her back to Yuguang."
He finished his request with hesitation, then quickly spoke.
"Of course, I am willing to pay a compensation. This is what I have saved over the years. It is not much, but you will definitely need money when you arrive in Yaoguang."
Before he finished speaking, two lines of prompts popped up in Levi's mind at the same time.
[Trigger the mission "Visit": Find and visit a girl from Yuguang. If she is in a bad situation, bring her back.]
[Task Reward: 30000 Legal Money]
Looking at the triggered task, Levi looked at Li Ming who took out three stacks of money from the safe nearby.
Under Li Ming's expectant gaze, he did not agree immediately, but asked after pondering for a moment.
"Do you have any IOUs from factory owners living in Yaoguang who owe wages or compensation to workers but never pay?"
Li Ming looked at Li Wei blankly, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question, but after thinking about it, he still said.
"The workers are in direct contact with the factory through the foreman. Even if there is such an IOU, it will not be in my hands. But if it is other contracts and IOUs without payment."
As he spoke, he turned back to the safe and after searching for a while, he found an account book at the innermost part.
Holding the account book, he sat back in front of Levi.
Chapter 42: The Heart of a Saint
"I don't have any contracts related to labor, but for others, some families in Yuguang who can't survive will choose to sell their sons or daughters to Yaoguang."
"To prevent people from escaping, the traffickers will only pay half of the money upfront, and the remaining half will be paid three years later after signing the contract."
"But when the time comes, there are very few people who can get the money from selling their bodies."
"Three years ago, I negotiated with the parliament in the name of the union, asking them to pay a portion of the money and then pay the majority of it to buy back the IOUs from those families at half the price. This way, they can at least get some of the money back. It is always easier for the union to collect the IOUs than for them to go individually."
"But those traffickers are backed by big companies with high status. Most of them can't get their money back in the end. Those contracts and IOUs are all here."
While Li Ming was talking, Li Wei also opened the account book, and there was a contract on almost every page.
Finally, a summary was made, and the total amount of debt owed was approximately more than 1200 million!
Counting from the beginning to now, a total of two or three years have passed, and a total of more than 400 people have been sold to Yaoguang, and on average each person still has more than 3 yuan in selling money that they have not received.
Levi counted the densely packed IOUs and contracts, looked up at Li Ming and asked.
"Yaoguang is involved in these human trafficking operations. How many of them are the biggest sources?"
Li Ming thought for a moment and replied.
"Originally there were four companies, but one of them went bankrupt and left the Sun Group in the past two years. The business was then divided up by the other three companies. Now there are only these three companies left. Those human traffickers are basically their subordinates."
After hearing this answer, Li Wei put down the account book. He didn't intend to take Li Ming's money, he just wanted to do business with him.
"I can help you, but I don't want your money. We can make a deal. I'll help you get the money back, but we need to sign a contract in advance. We'll split the money 1200-600. million, I'll take million."
Levi said, staring into his eyes.
This made Li Ming frown and look at him in confusion.
"These are basically bad debts. How can you ask them for them? They won't give you a penny!"
Levi tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly.
"Don't worry about how I want you. You must have your own source of information from Yaoguang. Leave me a way to keep in touch with you. After I get the money, I have to find a way to give it to you. By the way, give me a summary of all the information about the three companies involved in human trafficking and give it to me before you leave tomorrow."
Li Ming did not agree first. He just looked into Levi's eyes. Because he had witnessed the fight in the rainy night with his own eyes, he actually guessed what Levi wanted to do.
"I don't understand why you don't have to use these IOUs and contracts, and you don't have to choose to split the bills with the union in half."
Levi had already stood up from his chair at this time, and he didn't seem to want to explain so much.
"You don't need to understand. You can think about it tonight. If you agree, draft the agreement and give it to me tomorrow when we meet, along with the information about the three companies."
He walked towards the door, and when he was about to push it open and leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around, smiled, and bent his palm.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Fengzi told me to be polite. Good night, and have a sweet dream."
After staring at the door being closed again, Li Ming felt that he would not be able to have a real good night tonight.
He stared at the account book in his hand, unable to understand why Levi had another way, besides using force, to get money from these heartless capitalists.
But if he had already planned to use force, what was the point of asking for these IOUs?
