Chapter 477 Father and Daughter
After Mr. Sakaki left, Heath sat quietly in his dining car waiting for the lunch break to come. When lunch time came, Heath once again sold a large number of Three Kingdoms limited set meals. Heath smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Including today's sale, Heath's cost of designing cards has basically been recovered, and it seems that he can continue to make some money.
Of course, if the money earned from the rock worms is included, Heath is basically making a profit now. However, after all, the rock worms are exchanged for customer satisfaction, so it cannot be said that there is no cost at all.
"Almost." Heath yawned. Now the lunch time was over. Heath planned to rest early today and replenish the energy consumed by staying up all night. However, Heath had just hung the closing sign on the door when he heard a knock on the door.
Heath was a little confused. He didn't know many people in Deep Gray City. If he had to name one, it would probably be Jun Shajing and Miss Lian Na. However, Miss Lian Na would probably return to the Sinnoh region soon, so if he had to name one person he knew in Deep Gray City, it would probably be Xiao Gang and Jun Shajing.
But Jun Shajing should still be busy dealing with various affairs in Deep Gray City, and Xiaogang should still be studying in Evergreen City, so who came to find him?
However, after opening the door, Heath was stunned for a moment, because what caught his eyes was a strange combination, a girl sitting in a wheelchair and a middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair.
"Hello, if you want to have a meal, my restaurant is closed today." Heath looked at the man and woman in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said politely. Although Heath felt that the people in front of him might be a father and daughter, Heath did not have enough ingredients to entertain the guests.
"Hello, we are not here to have a meal. I want to ask... do you need a waiter?" The man rubbed his hands and asked nervously. Heath frowned. Is this man here to apply for a job?
However, Heath couldn't help but take a the girl below. She looked very ordinary, with freckles on her face. It seemed that she had just reached adulthood not long ago. But sometimes underage girls can look like adults, so it's hard to say.
"Are you applying for the job?" Heath asked the man in front of him. Although there was already a Zoroark in his dining car and he didn't need a waiter, Heath was still curious about this strange combination in front of him, so he asked another question.
"No, it's my daughter who wants to apply for a job. Her name is Yukino. She's just 20 years old, very young and capable. Do you think you can give my daughter a job?" The man asked stiffly, with a hint of flattery in his eyes. Heath looked at the man in front of him strangely. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this man, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
But at this time Heath could notice that some people on the side had frequently cast strange looks at him. The man seemed to have noticed something was wrong and directly lifted his daughter's wheelchair and walked to Heath's dining car. Heath was stunned by the man's actions, and when he reacted, the man had already closed the door of the dining car.
"Sir, if you are willing to pay a large sum of money, my daughter can be sold to you directly... and you can do whatever you want with her." The man rubbed his hands and looked at Heath nervously. Heath was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He really didn't expect that the man in front of him would say such a thing. Heath's first reaction was that this was some kind of prank show.
But when he saw the man wantonly tearing off the girl's clothes to show Heath his "goods", Heath was sure that the man was serious.
Heath called Jun Shajing without any hesitation and controlled the man, making it impossible for him to take the girl away. When Jun Shajing came over and saw the man, a very .
"Mr. Masaki, although you are Yukino's father, what you have done has violated the law!" It can be seen that Jun Shajing knows the father and daughter.
"Ms. Junsha, I just want to help my poor daughter find a job, you don't have to say that?" The man looked at Junshajing with some anger. The girl named Xueno who was in the middle of the argument was sitting in a wheelchair indifferently. There was no expression on her face, and her eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if she was a dead person.
There were arguments and quarrels, but everything calmed down in the end. Heath did not record the video, and Yukino did not say anything, as if she were a dead person. Jun Shajing could only take them back to the police station to deal with it.
"Sister Jing, are they really father and daughter?" Heath looked at Jun Shajing with some surprise. Although he didn't hear much just now, he knew that they were really father and daughter. He had thought they were human traffickers before.
"…They are indeed father and daughter. Xueno is a deaf-mute. She used to live a decent life, but later she broke her leg in a car accident. Her mother died early due to illness. Her father initially sold his house and car to save his daughter, but…" Jun Shajing sighed.
"…It couldn't be cured, and Mr. Masaki lost his job and started drinking all day. Later, Mr. Masaki became like this, forcing Yukino to work and even wanted to sell her." Jun Shajing was helpless, and Heath scratched his head.
"Then why don't you let Miss Yukino live her own life?" Heath looked at Jun Shajing strangely. He didn't quite understand why Yukino and Masaki should be together.
But then Heath understood. Yukino's family environment meant that she could not have any savings. Even if the Alliance could help her temporarily, it was impossible for them to help her every day. However, Masaki was Yukino's guardian and a normal person with all four limbs intact. Unless Yukino went to another city, it would be difficult for her to get rid of Masaki, right?
"Who said we didn't do this? In fact, the alliance has been following up on this matter, but this guy Masaki sometimes sneaks out to find Yukino, and then does this kind of thing. We have to lock him up for a few months today!" Jun Shajing said gritting her teeth, then turned and left. Heath touched . He thought there was some bloody story, but he didn't expect the alliance to have been taking action all the time, but Masaki just had to pester his daughter.
Thinking of the deaf-mute girl with dead eyes, Heath couldn't help but sigh. This world is really so fucked up. There are always people living in misfortune.
