Chapter 231 The Attacking Old Wan

Chapter 231 The Attacking Old Wan
Ashes bid farewell to Lao Wan, and called Lawyer Ma again, asking him to help find someone, so he left it alone.

It was late at night, and Lawyer Ma was fighting bad guys in Hell's Kitchen day after day, but the phone rang again, and he was almost shot to death again, which was really sad.I can only curse the evil capitalism in disgust, and work honestly according to the capitalist's orders.

There is no way, he has a pile of mortgages and car loans, and a girlfriend who can spend money. He only counts on that little salary every month to support his family. What can he do, work hard, and quit his job.

With the help of lawyer Ma, the head of Chuhuo Culture's legal department, the whereabouts of the boys and girls were quickly determined.This is not surprising, with names and surnames, knowing nationality and age, it is really not difficult to find someone in the modern society with advanced Internet. After all, the government of any family does not eat dry food, and some basic resume files are quite complete.

It took only two days for Lawyer Ma to report to Ashes.

"The situation is not very good." Lawyer Ma handed over three documents and said: "Lorna Dane's biological mother died of illness two years ago, she stayed in a community welfare home for a year, and then was sent to a foster care system. New family. According to the return visit records of the orphanage, little Lorna got along well with her new parents, but I investigated the couple, the man had a history of alcoholism, and the woman was sentenced to two months in prison for stealing in the supermarket, although I can’t generalize, but there is one thing to say, the probability of such a family giving children happiness is not too high.”

Ashes asked strangely, "Can someone with a criminal record also be a candidate for a foster family?"

"Because they have reformed themselves." Attorney Ma shrugged: "I don't deny that there are foster families who really like their children, but it is undeniable that some people's purpose is government subsidies and benefits from the very beginning. In order to cope with the increasing number of orphans and single-parent children in society, the qualification review for foster care has always been very loose. This solves the urgent need, but it also leads to an increase in the crime rate of foster children as adults. This is already a big social problem that cannot be ignored. .”

"Okay, I understand." Ashes had no intention of evaluating the pros and cons of the foster care system, but simply asked, "Can little Lorna get guardianship?"

"This is no problem." Attorney Ma said confidently, "Whether it is law or money, we are on our side!"

"That's good, finish this matter as soon as possible." After Ashes finished speaking, he looked at the document in his hand, frowned and said, "About the Maximov brothers and sisters..."

"It's a pity, but it's the truth." Lawyer Ma said with a sigh, "They're dead."

"Is the news accurate?"

"It should be no problem." Attorney Ma said: "I consulted the official records of Sokovia. The Maximov family was all killed in rebel bombing 12 years ago, and no one survived."

"Is there a body?"

Lawyer Ma said in embarrassment: "Boss, I have seen the photos, and the whole building collapsed at that time..."

"Okay, I see. Thank you for your hard work, go and rest."

Ashes sent Lawyer Ma away, packed the documents in a file bag, got up and went to Xavier School for Gifted Youth.

Lao Wan was playing chess with Professor X. When he saw Ashes coming, he immediately pushed the chessboard, pulled Ashes by the arm, and hurriedly said, "Elbow, follow me into the house!"

This impatient posture really surprised Professor X, he can only lament that the new generation is better than the old ones, and he is really old and poor.

After entering his room, Lao Wan hurriedly asked, "Is there any news?"

"Yes, but the result is not very good, you have to be mentally prepared." Ashes first handed over little Lorna's information.

Lao Wan opened it and said sadly, "Has Dane left already? I didn't expect that her departure would be a farewell. It's really unpredictable."

Then he saw little Lorna's current situation, her eyebrows were twitching, and the corners of her mouth were trembling, obviously very angry.However, he, who has always been stubborn, would not give in easily. Instead, he poked his neck and said: "It's okay, Lorna is my daughter, and she must have inherited my spirit. She will never be defeated by hardships, but will only change in them." Even stronger!"

Ashes didn't have much to say about Lao Wan's dead duck's stiff-mouthed performance, but she just told her own arrangement: "I will get the custody of little Lorna as soon as possible, and then bring her to New York. If you wish, I will In my name, let the professor arrange for little Lorna to enroll here."

"No, don't be here." Lao Wan said with shame on his face: "Although I promised that they would join the X-Men to be your help, Lorna is still young. If possible, I still hope that she can live like some ordinary people." life."

"No problem. As I said, I will help you not because of the abilities of these children, but because we are friends." Ashes said, "Since you want Lorna to live an ordinary life, then I will find her a school." It’s an ordinary school. How about Midtown High School? Although it’s called a high school, it also has an elementary school. I’ve studied there for a few days, and I’m quite familiar with its principal.”

It was too late for Lao Wan to be grateful, and he would not object, and said again and again: "It's fine if you think it's okay, Lorna will leave it to you, I don't worry!"

Ashes nodded, took a deep breath and said, "As for the Maximov brothers and sisters, you may need to be mentally prepared."

Lao Wan's body shook slightly, but he stabilized quickly.He had no expression on his face, could not see sorrow or joy, and asked in an empty voice: "Are they... dead?"

Ashes nodded: "Yes."

Lao Wanyi sat on the sofa with his buttocks, didn't cry, let alone shed tears, just stared blankly at the front, and after being so stunned for a long time, he quietly asked: "How did they die?"

Ashes handed over the information and said: "Because of the war, the residence of Maximov's family was bombed by rebels, and the entire apartment building collapsed. None of the four members of their family survived."

Lao Wan flipped through the documents, and didn't know what he was thinking. Ashes was about to comfort him, but Lao Wan raised his head and asked suddenly: "A few shells flattened a building? What happened to a building like this 12 years ago?" Technology is rare, which arms company is it?"

"I heard from Matt that it is a product of Stark Industries." Ashes recalled and said.Because it had nothing to do with the matter of the Maximov siblings, Lawyer Ma did not investigate specifically. He just saw this item in Sokovia's official records, so he casually told Ashes, without even adding it to the documents. Write.

"Hmph, what a Stark Industries!" Lao Wan scolded, and then said to Ashes: "In any case, I have to thank you. I'm sorry, I received a lot of information today, and I'm a little tired."

"Well, then I'm leaving, you have a good rest."

Ashes also knew that Lao Wan needed to lick his wound alone, so he didn't stay for long, and walked away.

As a result, not long after returning to his home in Long Island, he received a call from Professor X.

On the phone, Professor X asked anxiously: "Mr. Ashes, what did you tell Eric?"

"It's just some personal matters, what's the matter?" Ashes was at a loss.

"You still want to hide it from me at this time?" The old bald man was upset, and asked: "Then, what is the private matter that allows Eric to go out with full arms and a murderous look?"

"What!?" Ashes was shocked: "Where did Lao Wan go?"

Professor X said angrily: "Stark Industries!"
