Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Life

Chen Muyun nodded. "Then do you know how most of those adopted children are doing?"

"What can we do? They're just like that. They're just so-called good kids, churned out on an assembly line. They're not really that good, so they're sent back. Everything here is more illusion than truth. This is the pure truth."

Shen Muyun pursed his lips, it seemed that this orphanage had a bigger conspiracy.

"Okay, we're here. If you still don't know anything, you can come find me and I'll definitely tell you. Bye!"

The girl rushed into the room and looked at the two of them through the window.

"Huainan, it turns out there are so many stories about the orphanage."

Lu Huainan stopped and said, "Actually, I sponsored them in the hope of treating these children better. Who knew they would be like this? It seems I need to change the people."

"It would be even worse if the dean was replaced. After all, this is the truth."

Lu Huainan frowned. Indeed, it might not be that easy to solve.

"So what should we do?"

"There's nothing we can do. We can only maintain the status quo for now. But it's okay now. We finally understand some things we didn't know before."

"Yeah, so my brother, he came from this orphanage, which means he was packaged. So his gentleness and generosity are probably all disguised. No wonder I feel different from him sometimes."

Lu Huainan followed Shen Muyun to the basketball court. It was raining and he didn't see anyone there. He just walked here aimlessly.

“Da da da…”

A sound lingered in their ears.

The two turned and looked back.

There are children on the basketball court, playing in the rain.

"Little boy, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

The boy looked up at Shen Muyun and said, "Don't be afraid. A man should be upright. What's this little rain?"

Shen Muyun smiled at Lu Huainan, "It seems like we also had this kind of second-year experience when we were young."

"Yeah, how should I put it, it did happen, and a lot of times it was very exciting, but it wasn't like that anymore."

"As long as I have a special skill, I will definitely be able to get out of here. Then when I have a father and a mother, I won't be bullied anymore."

Chen Muyun immediately squatted down, took the little boy's arm, and gently asked Nan Feng, "What's going on? What do you mean by being bullied? Who bullied you?"

The little boy took the basketball and broke free from Shen Muyun's restraints.

"Don't ask so many questions. What's the point? You won't take me away. I still have to endure all this alone."

Shen Muyun smiled helplessly. Do the children here mature so early?

"Then tell me, how can it be useful?"

"Actually, I like basketball the most, but I don't have a professional coach to guide me, so I can't play basketball well now. I need a professional."

Lu Huainan smiled and said, "Okay, I can provide the best basketball coach, but kid, businessmen always want an equal exchange. Do you have any information you can exchange?"

The boy stopped and wiped the rain off his face. "How about I tell you a secret?"

Shen Muyun nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

"Well, I've already said that you must keep your word and not lie to children. Lying is wrong."

Shen Muyun nodded, "Handshake?"

"Only children make pinky promises. I'm already an adult. Since you seem so sincere, I can tell you the secret I discovered."

Shen Muyun and Lu Huainan moved closer.

"Let me tell you, the children here all have some issues with their backgrounds, which is why this orphanage can continue to exist."

"What is wrong with everything?"

"The ones the dean likes are all orphans. They were from wealthy families here before, but for some reason, they suddenly had a car accident and then those children had nowhere to go. Of course, there were also power struggles in their families, so naturally, they couldn't go back and waited for people from other families to come and adopt them."

Shen Muyun was stunned for a moment, "Huainan, will it be..."

Lu Huainan booed.

"Like me, I already had memories when I came here. My parents were among the top five richest people in Jiangcheng."

Lu Huainan thought for a moment, "Who are your parents?"

"My last name is Gu."

Lu Huainan suddenly understood, "I heard that the young head of the Gu family had an accident on a winding mountain road. The car was destroyed and the entire family of four died."

"Yes, that's what was reported. Later, the uncles and aunts in my family, in order to fight for power, included me in the case. I was actually the one who died. I was actually unconscious at the time, and then I woke up and was here. My name was also changed. I was only 4 years old at the time. They thought I had no memory, but I do remember."

The boy took the basketball and threw it high into the air.

"Then you haven't thought of any other solution?"

"I'm only 8 years old this year, so where did this idea come from? Over the years, no one has wanted to adopt me. As long as you turn 18, the orphanage here will automatically clear you out. Anyway, after all, I have a way to make a living."

"Then have you tried to contact your good friends before?"

"I don't have one. Look, there's a large wound on the left side of my face. It's a burn, and it can't be cured. It's equivalent to disfigurement. Even if I stand in front of them, they can only do a paternity test. Do you think I have that ability?"

"Okay, next Monday, the best basketball coach will come and teach you basketball. As for your future, don't always think about going to someone else's house. You can live a happy life on your own."

"Well, I'm going to play here for a while. Let's talk about the future later. The parking lot is over there. There's a small door over there that we dug for our outing. You guys can't tell on us."

Shen Muyun smiled and said, "Of course I won't tell on you. How can I disturb you guys while you're having fun?"

In fact, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the park. So, what can I say? The gaps that cannot be closed may just be the dean's hope that they will never come back after they leave.

"Huainan, do you think there really is such a complicated place?"

Lu Huainan fastened the seat belt for Shen Muyun.

"Of course not, Brother Yun, things here are much more complicated than we thought."

"Huainan, do you think there is a possibility that the dean will send his own child away?"

Lu Huainan stopped immediately when he saw the red light. "No, the dean is single. I've never heard of her having children."

When the two returned home, the sky outside had become even darker, as if a storm was about to come and a huge battle was about to break out.

Lu Huainan went to the housekeeper to give orders for today's dinner, and Shen Muyun was free.

The system suddenly appeared beside him, transformed into a human form, and sat beside his bed. "Chen Muyun, your mission progress is a bit slow. Shen Wenjin only has one week left to live. Why are you planning to give up on yourself, or do you have other plans?"

"System, do the people in the Space-Time Administration know about your condition?"

"This is a popular style these days. As long as you can charm the host, you don't have to worry about not being able to return to your original world. What do you think of my learning?"

Shen Muyun shook his head helplessly, "At the beginning, I thought you were not a serious system. Now it seems that my guess was correct. You are indeed not a serious system, and you have also learned some unsound things."

"But, Master Host, do you have something you want to tell me? You didn't seem to be in a good mood just now."

Shen Muyun pursed his lips and said, "It's actually nothing. It's just about the orphanage. Do you know?"

"Of course I know it, and I know it very well."

"You also know what happened in there? What happened to Shen Liuyun?"

"Didn't the host find out? You want to know about the dean, but you also want to know about the children. Am I right?"

Shen Muyun nodded, "Yeah."

"There's nothing wrong with the orphanage director. If anything, she prefers to pick the smart ones and find them adoptive families as soon as possible. For the average ones, she'll support them through school until they're able to move out on their own. It's actually quite difficult."

"What else?"

"It's not a secret, but the current dean took a three or four month leave, saying he was going to the US for training. When he came back, he brought a child with him, saying it was a friend's. Who knows, the child was eventually adopted, and no one knows the circumstances of the situation."

Shen Muyun nodded, almost certain that this child was the dean's. He said she was good, but when it came to these things, one was worse than the other.

"What else do you know?"

"Nothing much, that's all. As for the host, you still want to know your life experience and why you appeared in that place."

Everything Shen Muyun wanted to say and do was completely observed by the system, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you know?"

"This is not difficult for me. What I am showing here is that your biological mother was hurt by Shen Wenjin, and then she committed suicide, leaving you behind. Then Shen Wenjin took you home directly from the orphanage and found someone to cover up the truth, that is, Shen Liuyun."

"Is it really like this? Nothing else?"

"This is what the system currently displays. After all, I'm not a true god, so there's still a lot I don't know. As for your background, this is all I know. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it's going to be difficult."

Shen Muyun sighed helplessly. He originally thought that the current situation was already problematic, and now it was even more troublesome.

"What about the Shen family's property?"

"This will require your efforts. There is still more than a week left, host. I am willing to believe that you will come up with a better solution."
