Chapter 72 Not even the old lady is spared
"Hiroshi Nakajima".
Enter the management bureau.
The unspeakable leader stared at the documents, his brow furrowed.
Outside the blinds, a group of elderly men and women dressed in colorful clothes sat in a circle, staring at him expectantly.
When I first arrived at work, these guys blocked my way at the door, all chattering and demanding that I help them find the descendants of some benefactor…
If it were any other troublemaker, it would have been impossible for them to make this happen.
But these old things are different.
They can pick any one of them at random, and their families all have relatives who have sacrificed their lives or made meritorious contributions.
If not handled properly, it could create a very bad public opinion incident.
The mere fact that he was about to kneel down at the door could have escalated into a major problem if I hadn't stopped him in time.
My temples are throbbing.
They came prepared.
The reporter, the hospital director, and the accompanying nurse.
The town councilor's secretary also arrived...
These bastards obviously don't want to deal with these problems themselves, so they're just dumping them all on me.
What does this mean? Am I a victim?
"...They insisted that Nakajima Hiroshi was a descendant of their benefactor, and that the old mayor had left a will that we must take special care of him..."
The subordinate whispered an absurd report.
The evidence provided by the other party consisted of a dozen handwritten petitions and a few blurry old photos, which had no legal effect whatsoever.
He even doubted whether these old men really knew Nakajima Hiroshi.
Because of the expressions on people's faces.
These people clearly showed no sign of nervousness.
Some of them even started chatting about which park was the most comfortable for sunbathing...
So who were you trying to impress by crying and making me feel so embarrassed at the door?
"This is utterly absurd!"
He couldn't help but scold him.
"Just because a few elderly people can't remember some old stories, we're supposed to overturn the clear facts of their illegal overstay?"
"And what's with that damn congressional secretary? Did they all join in stirring up trouble just for votes?"
"Yes, it is indeed absurd, but..."
The subordinate looked around nervously and whispered.
"Those old geezers said that if they don't get a clear answer to this matter, they'll... they'll kill themselves here!"
So you can imagine how absurd Nakajima Hiroshi felt when he saw the system notification.
"Searching for nearby elderly women with amnesia, scene integration in progress..."
...Don't harm innocent elderly people!
That weird system, after discovering that the program couldn't run, didn't even spare the old lady?
"What is this, blackmail?!"
The leader, who wished to remain anonymous, slammed his hand on the table.
Normally, this would just be a favor done for someone, and it wouldn't matter if it were easily overlooked.
After all, Nakajima Hiro didn't have any serious cases on his record; it was just filling in some files, nothing serious.
But now that he has accepted Kuroda Karito's money, the situation is different.
Moreover, the materials presented by the other party were quite sophisticated.
Although this time it was just an application for deportation, they also had evidence that Nakajima Hiroshi was involved in the sex industry.
In other words, strictly speaking, letting Nakajima Hiroshi go would actually be considered an act of favoritism and bending the law.
If all we do right now is take the money and do the job, that's just our duty, it's perfectly reasonable, and nobody can find fault with it.
But if Kuroda Karito makes a mistake in this matter and things escalate, he will have to take responsibility!
however……
"The caregivers outside are very worried. These elderly people generally have health problems and may not be able to withstand such a confrontation."
"In addition, the congressional secretary also instructed that a relatively responsible response is desired."
What constitutes a "responsible" response?
Is it about being responsible to the law, or to the families of these inexplicably meritorious individuals?
We can't chase them away, and we can't fight them.
What makes Nakajima Hiroshi so capable of getting such a large group of old-timers to endorse him?
Although it seems absurd, the current situation has become a thorny predicament that makes people extremely uneasy.
Avoiding the situation will only allow it to escalate.
He understands this very well.
Although I am unwilling, if the pressure is passed on to those above me, I will only become more passive.
Damn it, I shouldn't have accepted that gift. That Kuroda Karito is a jinx!
Such a huge hidden danger existed, yet it wasn't made clear beforehand.
Once I've dealt with these old fogies, you'll be the first person I settle accounts with!
"Please have them select two representatives to come in."
He sighed heavily.
"However, please be careful with your wording. Our attitude is communication, not a hearing."
This is the most basic thing he's insisted on, and to be honest, he's in a difficult position.
moment.
An elderly man and an elderly woman were helped in.
Just by looking at its trembling appearance, you know it must be handled with utmost care.
The reporter was stopped at the door.
But he soon heard the nonsense coming from the doorway.
"Currently, the two elderly people have been dragged into the office alone. What they will face remains to be seen..."
That bastard!
What does it mean to be "dragged" into the office? Is this reporter blind?
Who is your boss?
say!
Another person has been added to the hate list.
"Knock knock knock".
After a rhythmic, polite knock, the congressman's secretary squeezed in.
This cannot be stopped, nor does it need to be permitted.
Power is such a wonderful thing, with clear hierarchical distinctions.
"Regarding Mr. Nakajima Hiroshi's immigration status, the councilor has some earnest requests that he wishes to convey to you in person, no matter what..."
In fact, the senator had no idea who Hiroshi Nakajima was.
He only received a set of documents.
It clearly lists his past scandals, such as his intimate moments with his mistress, and...
Where did you get this indecent video from high school?!
Such outrageous intelligence capabilities sent chills down his spine.
In short, this evidence shows that Nakajima Hiroshi must be a person who has transcended vulgar interests and made contributions to society!
We must save them!
Hehe, hehehe...
We've worked so hard to get to where we are today, all so that we can do something practical for the common people!
I must survive!
"Gentlemen and ladies."
Seeing this situation, the leader could only force a professional fake smile while pressing the service bell to signal his subordinates to come and save the day.
"We are reviewing Nakajima Hiroshi's case in accordance with regulations."
"However, his situation clearly constitutes illegal stay, as clearly stipulated by law..."
"I remember the regulations on illegal stays were only amended a few years ago."
The old woman clearly didn't follow his lead and interrupted him abruptly.
"My son was still alive then, before he sacrificed himself for you..."
The leader's heart skipped a beat.
Hahaha……
Awesome!
What's the point of communicating at all?!
The old lady, with trembling hands, pulled out a laminated old photograph from her bosom and pushed it in front of him.
The photo shows a group of blurry young people.
"Look, this is what he looked like back then, smiling so contentedly. It was because he trusted you that he..."
My head is buzzing.
This is not a problem that can be solved by law and logic.
The old man also provided a timely, ambiguous assist.
"The Nakajima family's grandfather was burned to death right before my eyes..."
"His last wish was for me to protect this grandson..."
That's amazing, he also has a grandfather!
This old man can be considered a veteran firefighter.
Although his words are not legally binding, ignoring them would undoubtedly have a very negative impact.
What's more, there's a bunch of old guys waiting outside the door to make up lies.
Yes, that's definitely a lie.
"Let's say it like this later..."
You're not carrying people on your backs anymore, are you?
The leader arrived and felt a wave of suffocation.
He knew it was all fake, but there was nothing he could do about it!
The elderly are still contributing.
"...The town must remember the kindness of the Nakajima family. If their descendants ever encounter difficulties, we should help them as if they were our own children..."
"That's what he entrusted to me before he died..."
"We'll remember this promise for the rest of our lives..."
"Now, we finally find out that the Nakajima family's children have ended up here and are being harassed."
"If we old bones pretend we don't know, how will we face the mayor when we get there?"
They recounted their lifelong commitment to integrity and their deepest regrets in fits and starts.
But it's obviously all made up.
Could you two please stop mixing up your lines in front of me?
Even if I had no choice but to believe it, it would make me look stupid!
These old guys, don't they feel ashamed to lie?
Even the two of you clearly only met at the main gate!
Just ten minutes ago, you guys agreed to go to the market and find some cheap leftovers!
And that damned reporter outside, how did he manage to organize a group of old people wiping away tears at my doorstep?!
Don't come any closer!
