"What is this?" Wei Ran took the box curiously. Unexpectedly, the box was heavy and heavy. It was also fixed with a circle of transparent tape.
"You'll know if you open it." Before Dalia could finish her words, she had already handed over a strange-looking dagger.
He took the dagger and cut open the tape. When he opened the plastic cover, he found that it was filled with translucent stones of various sizes and shapes and even colors.
The largest of these stones is about the size of a table tennis ball, and the smallest that can be seen at a glance is only the size of the nail of your little finger.
"This is..."
"diamond"
Dalia sat down and explained with a smile, "The uncut colored diamonds were found in the safe of that orphanage, along with a lot of cash and precious metals."
"Do I have a role too?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"Of course I have a share." Dalia spread her hands, "After all, you provided important clues, didn't you?"
"Will..."
"Do not worry"
Dalia said confidently, "That matter has nothing to do with you anymore, and the father of those children has personally promised that he will not pursue this matter again."
Hearing this, Wei Ran's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He finally understood why the other party was so generous in giving him a box full of diamond raw materials, because they might have obtained something far more valuable than diamonds.
As long as those children and their too-young mothers are still alive, the fathers of those children, if they don't want to be like those people who are dead and in jail on the news, they will inevitably have to be at the mercy of those who get the evidence.
"How are those children doing now?" Wei Ran asked, putting the box in his hand on the table.
"Those children have no idea who their father is, and even their mothers don't know who gave birth to their children prematurely. They will start a new life in Kirov in the future."
Dalia sighed when she said this, "Although they may not be 100% free, they can at least enjoy 100% security.
Although most of the fathers of those children were not punished, they destroyed the hospital in Cow Urine Country."
"very good already"
Wei Ran also sighed, he or Dalia, they are not supermen after all, and to be able to do what they are doing now is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous thing.
"If you have time, you can go and see them."
Darya smiled and said, "They are in the hospital in Kirov, and Gorman is also there."
"Gorman is here too?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows and asked in a subtle way, "Won't he also lose his job as studio director?"
"It seems I've been too tired recently"
Dalia rubbed her temples and said incoherently, "Just now I actually heard the distinguished Mr. Gorbachev speak."
"I didn't say anything just now"
Wei Ran rolled his eyes, pushed the plastic box on the table forward, and said generously, "Dalia, pick one for you and Teacher Anna, consider it a gift from me.
"
"Sensible little guy"
Dalia didn't refuse, and with a smile, she randomly picked up a yellow stone about the size of a peanut from the box and said, "Just take it. After cutting it open, you should be able to make two pretty enough earrings."
"Choose another one for Teacher Anna"
Wei Ran said nonchalantly, although each of these teachers was more expensive than the other, they were definitely good for him, not to mention that he had not contributed so much to the orphanage. He didn’t know how much it was worth.
A small stone. Therefore, both emotionally and logically, you should share it with the other person.
"Let her choose when she comes back."
Dalia casually threw the stone in her hand into her wallet and asked with interest, "I heard that your little girlfriend did a lot of things in Inta?"
Wei Ran nodded helplessly, "I almost opened the sky."
Dalia smiled brightly when she heard this, "What an interesting girl. Remember to bring her here to sit and sit when you have time."
"She will definitely come here often in the future," Wei Ran said, pointing to the five-story building outside the window, "She has been thinking about that building for a long time."
"I also look forward to her bringing young people here as guests."
Dalia responded half-truthfully, opened the drawer and pulled out a paper bag that seemed to have been used to hold shoe boxes and handed it to Wei Ran. She stood up and walked out and said, "Okay, take yours with you."
Go home early, Bro Stone, and remember to lock the door for me."
Hurriedly taking the key from the other party, Wei Ran smiled, put the lock box filled with small stones into a paper bag, locked the door and chased after him.
After waiting patiently for Dalia and Jima to say something alone, the two of them left together and drove towards the city.
"Dalia listened to me carefully explain Inta's changes," said Jima, who had already started the car, beaming. "She is going to pay to help get another hot spring."
"So I can save a lot of money?" Wei Ran asked jokingly.
"Don't even think about it." Ji Ma and Wei Ran didn't know how to be polite. "I will personally deliver the bill to you when the time comes."
"You are such a good person." Wei Ran teased the other person, changed the subject and said, "I plan to go to Kirov on the 5th. Do you want to go with me then?"
"Of course we want to go together"
Dima said with a grimace, "And the courses in Kirov are scheduled in Kirov in half a month. It is said that I want to learn how to become a qualified psychopath."
"Mental illness?"
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, with a gloating expression on his face. At this time, he had roughly guessed what Jima was going to do in half a month.
"She didn't say the specific content."
Jima patted the steering wheel and said more and more distressedly, "The most important thing is that Teacher Dalia actually said that Maya will receive treatment at the forest farm for half of every month until Christmas.
Training, and it just happens to be staggered with my time, God, she will definitely miss me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you think too much, she will definitely not miss you." Wei Ran paused and continued to add, "Even if God persuades her, I guess she won't.
I will miss you."
"Victor, which side are you on?" Ji Ma asked dissatisfied.
"I'm on God's side," Wei Ran spread his hands, "but even God won't help you persuade Maya to make her miss you."
"Shut up!" Ji Ma angrily stepped on the accelerator, and amidst Wei Ran's pointed teasing, he rushed to the shore of Kaban Lake at lightning speed.
However, far away, Wei Ran discovered something was wrong, because on the roadside next to the courtyard wall, a row of cones was pulled up and erected. On the other side of the blockade, there were still parking lots on the road.
He was holding a crane, and a small part of the crane's boom actually extended into Weiran's yard.
"What's going on?" Jima asked curiously, "Are you planning to build something else?"
"I didn't know, go in first." Wei Ran urged while lowering the window.
Hearing this, Jima didn't waste any more time and drove in along the wide road between the courtyard wall and the historic winery complex. It wasn't until the car entered the courtyard that Wei Ran finally saw clearly what was going on.
To put it simply, the house that Teacher Dalia gave him was separated by a seven-eight-meter-wide dead end on the south side of the winery, which covered a huge area and had a long history but no longer made wine.
To the east of the house, across a fairly scenic road, is Lake Kaban. To the north of the house is a birch forest more than thirty meters wide and sixty to seventy meters long.
Theoretically, this small birch forest is part of the yard's land, just like the dead end street. It's just that the birch forest's role is more to separate the noise and sight of the two-way four-lane road on the other side.
.
However, the culprit who allowed the crane's boom to extend into the yard at this time came from the neighbor on the north side of the yard.
Separated only by a courtyard wall, there is a workshop that looks very old and is only three stories high at most. Even the yard where the workshop is located is as overgrown with grass and piles of various things as Dalia's home before it was renovated.
Rusty metal trash.
At this moment, what the crane was preparing to lift slipped down from the roof of the workshop, an I-beam rafter beam more than ten meters long, and a large piece of colored steel tile and iron roof attached to it.
Fortunately, this incredibly heavy metal beam not only destroyed an unused garage in the Weiran yard, but also destroyed the colored steel tiles and some bricks that were still being tested.
On the chicken coop during business hours.
As for the consequences of the accident, apart from the fact that the chickens, ducks and geese that my aunt had bought were dead and injured, and the few survivors who flew to who knows where, even the chickens, ducks and geese that had been built had not had time to be put into use.
The greenhouses were all torn to pieces by rusty colored steel tiles.
"What's going on?" Wei Ran walked to Suisui and asked an apologetic middle-aged man.
"Hello, I am Joseph, the owner of the yard next door."
The middle-aged man took the initiative to shake Wei Ran's hand and explained more apologetically, "During the thunderstorm a few days ago, a bolt of lightning hit the roof of this workshop, and then the steel beam fell down.
"
Joseph paused for a moment, raised his finger and pointed to the crane extending out of the yard and continued, "I noticed something was wrong when I passed by here the next day, but I knocked at your door for a long time and there was no one.
To respond, we can only send people and cars to wait here.
Sir, I am really sorry that such an accident happened. After we clean up the steel beam, I will fully compensate for all the losses."
"It doesn't matter"
Wei Ran declined the cigarette offered by the other party, "Fortunately, we have been away in the past few days, so no one was injured."
"Joseph, that workshop looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Why don't you tear it down?"
Ji Ma came over and asked curiously, "And even if you clean up the fallen steel beams this time, if there is an accident next time, even if no more steel beams fall, once those colored steel tiles are blown up by the wind,
, simply sharper than Death’s scythe.”
"It's not that we don't want to demolish it, but this is a residential area and it's close to Lake Kaban. No factory is allowed to exist at all, and it won't produce any benefits at all."
Joseph sighed, "But the cost of demolishing it is too high. I can't afford it at all. I would rather use the money to do other things."
"But it is already a dilapidated building," Ji Ma reminded Wei Ran. "If you leave it alone, something might fall down one day, and there is only a courtyard wall between you."
"I'll try to fix the roof."
Joseph said helplessly, "To completely demolish that workshop will cost at least 6.5 million rubles. I simply can't afford that much money. And it's not a dangerous building. Except for the fact that there are some problems with the roof, it's actually very strong."
However, just as he finished saying this, a harsh "squeaking" noise came from the roof of the workshop, and then, in full view of everyone, another steel beam smashed into the workshop with a "clang".
internal.
"I...I will try my best to repair the roof, I promise." Joseph said with a grimace, but there was too much unconfidence in his tone.
