My Manor

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Handling Opinions



"What?" Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Moses Adams was indeed a person who understood people's hearts. Jiang Hai was someone who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. In fact, most of the time, as long as he was soft-hearted and paid some price, he could get everything. After all, he was just a nouveau riche, not an aristocrat who valued face more than anything else.

Now, when he heard that Moses Adams had brought him something, he looked over curiously.

"Here." Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, Moses Adams also showed a kind smile. He knew that he had passed the test this time.

Then he handed Jiang Hai an envelope. Jiang Hai took the envelope and glanced at it. He knew what was in it. It should be the ticket for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, because the outside of the envelope was printed with the promotional poster for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game. Although he had guessed what was inside, Jiang Hai still opened the envelope happily.

After opening the envelope, he found a magnetic card inside.

"This is a package of tickets for the NBA All-Star Game, including the public training for the All-Star Game on the 13th, the Celebrity Game and Rookie Challenge on the 14th, the All-Star Weekend Individual Challenge on the 15th, the Development League All-Star Game on the 16th, the pre-All-Star Game concert, and the All-Star Game. The seat is in the first row of the Eastern Conference All-Stars. If it wasn't being held in New York this time, I wouldn't have been able to get such a good seat, but I really spent some time to get it." Looking at Jiang Hai, Moses Adams said with a smile. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai curled his lips.

He knew that there was some exaggeration in Moses Adams' words, but who could deny that he really liked this gift?

"I wish what happened yesterday hadn't happened. If next time, Mr. Adams, I look for you again and still can't find you, and I have to wait... 23 hours to see you, then you can say goodbye to my dollars forever." Although this gift was very thoughtful, Jiang Hai still decided to give him a warning to let him know that he was not a softie.

"It should be. This time, it was my mistake..." Hearing that Jiang Hai decided to turn the page, Moses Adams nodded immediately. Sometimes it's okay to admit a mistake, after all, no one would have a hard time with green dollars.

"Let's talk about this incident." Leaning back on the sofa, Jiang Hai asked Moses Adams.

"To be honest, boss, you won't get any benefits from this incident, because these people really have nothing. The nature of this incident was defined very quickly..." Looking at Jiang Hai, Moses Adams slowly spoke.

This incident of Jiang Hai being attacked was very clear. The police found Cindy Clive's wallet on the thief, and fingerprints from these people were found on the switchblade on the ground.

These people had done this more than once or twice. Although they were truly pitiful, as Jiang Hai had said, that could not be the reason for their crime.

These people were basically individuals with physical defects. The social structure of the American empire was a capitalist society.

While there were some welfare institutions that accepted such people, life in these institutions wasn't very good. After all, it costs a lot of money to support a person. Everything in a capitalist society costs money.

Even every breath of air you breathe is taxed. Under such circumstances, it's no surprise their lives weren't better.

Since childhood, in welfare institutions, they had learned the law of the jungle: the stronger and more ruthless can eat more, while the weaker ones can't even eat enough unless they pay for it.

Moreover, welfare institutions cannot care for them for life. When they become adults, the institutions ask them to do something in return. Some of them accept the food and accommodation in exchange. This makes many people unhappy, and they prefer to leave, but when they were young, they focused more on how to survive. Coupled with their congenital deficiencies, it was hard for them to find jobs in society, and they didn't have a clear position. Over time, in these big cities, they were led astray by society and formed their own culture.

Men, when they grew up, became thieves and robbers. Of course, their main job was to be pimps. When women grew up, they had no other choice but to sell their bodies to make a living.

This was a group of pitiful people. Even Jiang Hai felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He felt that he was not a good person. However, when this emotion arose, Jiang Hai shook his head. The virgin complex was the most unacceptable.

"Forget it, I won't sue them..." After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai shook his head and decided to let these people go.

"My boss is really a kind guy." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Moses Adams laughed and said.

"Well, some people with criminal records will be imprisoned, and some who have not committed any crimes will be educated in the police station for a few days at most and then sent back to the welfare home, or they might be released immediately." Moses Adams said, thinking about the situation in Boston.

After listening to Moses Adams, Jiang Hai asked carefully. A total of 36 people were arrested in that den. Among them, 13 men—those Jiang Hai had taken care of yesterday—had criminal records.

Highway robbery, car theft, stealing. They all had criminal records. This time, they were in prison and would likely remain there for several years.

There were also 23 women, who would generally not be punished too severely.

It was the same as the laws in China. Special service providers themselves did not constitute a crime. After dens in China were raided, except for the organizers who were sentenced, those below them were usually only sentenced to a fine and 15 days of imprisonment. The situation in the U.S. was similar. At most, these women would be sent out of state, as there were many states in the U.S. where prostitution was licensed.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Hai felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't that he thought the punishment was too light.

It was just that if these people were released, they would probably do the same thing again. After all, they had no other way to survive. The men had dared to attack him, so he simply ignored them. But the women were a little pitiful.

He remembered how bad the environment had been when he chased them into that alley yesterday.

Those women looked numb and lifeless when they saw him. If he didn't know about their situation, it would be fine. But now that he knew, he would feel a little guilty if he didn't do something.

But what could he do? He didn't know. Fortunately, he still had fifteen days to think about it.

"Are those women going to be locked up for fifteen days?" Jiang Hai asked Moses Adams.

"Twenty-one of them are. But there are two twin sisters, so maybe they are not, because the elder sister is the one who stole your wallet. It seems that there are no other cases except this one. The younger sister herself has no criminal record, so the police are waiting for your answer. If you want to investigate, arrest the elder sister. If not, she may be released directly." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Moses Adams thought for a moment and replied.

"Sisters? Let's go. Let's go and see." Hearing his words, Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the thief he caught yesterday was actually a girl? Thinking back to the moment he searched the wallet yesterday... Pah, but the girl had been really thin, almost like skin and bones. Jiang Hai had searched her upper body and hadn't realized she was a woman.

Suddenly, Jiang Hai wanted to go and see these people because he still couldn't make up his mind what to do.

"Okay." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Moses Adams nodded. After Jiang Hai changed his clothes and freshened up, the two drove in separate cars into the city of Boston.

Soon, they arrived at the police station where Jiang Hai had been yesterday. Originally, he was very reluctant to return, but now he had something on his mind, so he didn't think too much and walked in directly. Fortunately, the police here still remembered him. After hearing Moses Adams explain Jiang Hai's purpose, they took him to the small cell in the police station. Although this wasn't a detention center, the police had to keep prisoners somewhere in the station, especially when there were many. This small cell was a temporary solution.

However, this small cell was much better than a prison cell; at least the prisoners wouldn't be treated unfairly.

When Jiang Hai walked in, there were six cells, three of which were full. One held the thirteen people Jiang Hai had defeated yesterday. Some needed treatment and were still in the hospital, while the rest either didn't need treatment or had finished it. As Jiang Hai entered, these people raised their heads to look at him. However, there was only resentment and intense killing intent in their eyes. After all, because of this man, they not only failed to rob money but were also arrested and beaten. If eyes could kill, Jiang Hai would have died a thousand times.

Jiang Hai had once felt some compassion for these people, but when he saw the look in their eyes, his heart sank. He realized that they were no different from normal criminals. Perhaps their starting points were different, but the outcome was the same. Even if he used his connections to release them, they wouldn't feel grateful. Instead, they would look for opportunities to take revenge or return to their old ways, bringing harm to more innocent people. They weren't wronged at all.
