Before Lu An Ning could go to the orphanage to check the records again on the weekend, the news that a high school student had tragically died by jumping from the rooftop of a five-star hotel became a hot topic, implicating the orphanage and causing a lot of controversy.

When Lu Anning saw the news, she was completely stunned. The girl with delicate features in her ID photo looked increasingly familiar, and she suddenly remembered that this child was the one they had met at the orphanage that day who had asked her for help.

At that time, she also found some injuries on the child's arms. Ouyang Ying said that they were painted. It had only been a short time since then, and the child had actually jumped off the building.

Lu Anning stared at the news screen for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. Her intuition told her that the child's death was not simple.

"Jingyuan, do you remember when we went to the orphanage, she grabbed my hand and asked me to save her. At that time, I saw a wound on her arm."

Tang Jingyuan was also surprised. He patted Lu Anning on the shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. If there really is a problem, the police will naturally investigate it and give this child justice."

Before the two had recovered from the shocking news, the police showed up at their door.

"Don't be nervous, we're just conducting a routine inquiry. We've found you were at the orphanage before the deceased fell. Please describe the circumstances in detail."

Lu Anning told the story in detail about what happened, especially emphasizing the injuries on the child.

The interrogation ended quickly, and the investigators were even more respectful to Tang Jingyuan.

Watching them leave, Lu An Ning couldn't help but ask, "She didn't commit suicide, right? There's something wrong with that orphanage. You can check it out."

One of the leading police officers glanced at Tang Jingyuan and smiled slightly. "If the deceased didn't commit suicide, we will definitely give her justice. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Tang, for your cooperation. As for other details about the case, we are not in a position to disclose them. Farewell!"

The more Lu Anning watched them leave, the more uneasy he felt.

If she had insisted on chasing after him, the child might not have died.

"You have to believe them, they are professionals. They need evidence!"

Lu Anning stared at Tang Jingyuan for a long time, feeling that something was amiss with his lukewarm attitude towards the matter. It was as if he knew everything but refused to say anything.

"Do you know something that you're not telling me?"

Tang Jingyuan looked away: "No."

"real?"

"Really." Tang Jingyuan smiled and coaxed her: "I am just an ordinary person, don't think I am too powerful."

Over the next few days, Lu Anning felt restless, constantly thinking of the child asking her for help. The case remained a hot topic, becoming a popular topic of conversation. That day, Zhong Ling took her to the staff cafeteria for dinner and brought up the matter again.

"Team Leader, here's the latest news. Did you know that the girl who jumped from the building grew up in an orphanage? She had excellent grades and was always a city-level "Three Good Students." She's said to be a promising prospect for Peking University and Tsinghua University, and is on the verge of being admitted. She had a bright future. How could she possibly commit suicide?"

"Did the news mention the autopsy results?" Lu Anning was still very concerned about the child's injuries.

"Let me see." Zhong Ling bit her chopsticks and flipped through the pages. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Oh my God! There's actually such a thing."

Lu Anning was shocked: "How is it?"

Zhong Ling was at a loss for words and handed the phone to Lu Anning: "You should see for yourself! This kid is so miserable, no wonder he's so popular."

Lu Anning stared at the screen, not daring to miss a single word. When she finished reading the entire article, her expression darkened.

A city-level "Three Good Student" who was recommended for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University certainly couldn't have committed suicide by jumping off a building. Police, after several days of examination, discovered multiple marks of abuse on the girl's body. They determined she had sexual relations with multiple men and had a number of psychotropic drugs in her system.

The case was officially established as a criminal case and an investigation was launched.

She pounded her fist on the dining table and said, "I saw her in the orphanage. She asked me for help back then."

Lu Anning felt like a huge rock was blocking her heart, making it hard to breathe. She had to bear some responsibility for the child's death. Back then, she should have been more resolute and pulled her aside to ask her clearly.

maybe……

Those people at the orphanage must know something!

Before Lu Anning could recover from the shock, Zhong Ling found another interview video of Ouyang Ying.

Facing the camera, Ouyang Ying was extremely sad. She cried and blamed herself for not teaching her child well, letting her go astray and rely on her good grades to associate with people in society. Every word she said was to throw dirty water on Xiaoling, but she completely absolved herself of the responsibility.

In front of the camera, Ouyang Ying smiled kindly and lovingly: "Children are growing up, they have their own ideas, and it's hard to control them. Especially those with excellent academic performance! They are all orphans, and psychologically they are always different from ordinary children. It was my failure to pay attention to their psychological problems that led this child to a path of no return."

"Nonsense!" Lu An Ning slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes filled with unconcealable anger.

"When the child saw the teachers at the orphanage, her eyes were full of fear." At that time, she was clearly dragged away by force.

The flame of anger burned in her chest, and Lu An Ning couldn't continue to eat in peace. She didn't help the child at the beginning, but at least after her unjust death, she couldn't let those people throw dirty water on the child.

She had to do something, otherwise, she would never be at peace in her life.

Ouyang Ying, she is the key.
