In the orphanage, Qiao Jiabao was alone in a dark little room, sitting on the floor with his hands on his knees.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

There were footsteps in the corridor outside, but Qiao Jiabao couldn't hear them until the man opened Qiao Jiabao's door.

When the lights came on, Qiao Jiabao suddenly felt the glare and couldn't help but frown.

"Jiabao, why are you sitting here alone? I've been looking for you for a long time." Zhang Ruixue walked in, squatted beside Qiao Jiabao, and looked him up and down, as if she wanted to see through Qiao Jiabao's mind, but unfortunately she obviously couldn't do it.

Qiao Jiabao looked up at Zhang Ruixue, and suddenly asked in a serious tone, "Aunt Ruixue, do you think I will stay here until I grow up?"

"Of course you can. No one is chasing you away." Zhang Ruixue took a blanket from the bed and gently draped it over Qiao Jiabao.

In the orphanage, Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Ruixue are like two family heads, caring for all the children.

Qiao Jiabao wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, but still felt cold all over.

"If I leave, will you miss me?" Qiao Jiabao suddenly looked up at Zhang Ruixue with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of reluctance.

He knew in his heart that if his mother wanted to take him away, she would do everything she could to make it happen.

By that time, Qiao Jiabao had no choice.

"What? Are you leaving again?" Zhang Ruixue became nervous now, staring at Qiao Jiabao closely.

Qiao Jiabao shook his head and swallowed back what he was about to say, "No, I was just asking."

Zhang Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief, kissed him on the forehead, and said with pity: "Okay, stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

Qiao Jiabao nodded obediently, watched Zhang Ruixue leave, and fell into deep thought again.

The next morning, Qiao Jiabao was awakened by the noisy noise outside.

He opened his sleepy eyes and heard chattering and shouting outside the window. He got out of bed and opened the curtains, only to see many children gathered downstairs. Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Ruixue looked angry and were questioning an adult man.

Qiao Jiabao realized that something had happened and quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs to see.

"Tell me! Who sent you here?!" Zhang Ruixue's voice was serious and sharp.

The man kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.

"If you refuse to tell us even if you are beaten to death, we will have no choice but to call the police." Zhao Xiaocui seemed much calmer.

"Who are you? How can you be so vicious? You actually put drugs in the water tank of the orphanage. If Wu Wei hadn't been prepared in advance and told us that someone had broken in, we wouldn't have known about it!" Zhang Ruixue's words made Qiao Jiabao roughly understand what had happened.

In broad daylight, someone actually put drugs in the water tank of an orphanage?

Are you going to poison these children?

Qiao Jiabao felt a little chill for a moment, and he immediately connected this matter with Cen Juan.

In an instant, Qiao Jiabao's little face turned pale and his legs were trembling.

"Tell me, what medicine did you give me?" Zhang Ruixue grabbed the man's collar and asked angrily.

The man seemed to be dead, with his eyes closed and not saying a word.

"Forget it, don't ask anymore, just leave it to the police." Zhao Xiaocui was too lazy to talk nonsense and advised Zhang Ruixue.

Soon, the police arrived and the man was taken away.

Until the incident was over, Qiao Jiabao still couldn't recover. Was it Cen Juan who did all this?

Afterwards, Qiao Jiabao learned from the conversation between Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Ruixue that the man had drugged the children, which was a drug that made them sleep. As for what he wanted to do, he never got the answer, and the man ended up in jail.

Qiao Jiabao felt a chill after hearing this, and he immediately went back to his room to pack up.

He must leave here now and not continue to implicate the children in the orphanage!

——

In the suburban villa, Cen Juan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that the matter had been properly handled.

Fortunately, he did not betray himself.

Fortunately, Cen Juan had been prepared and had taken control of the family of that subordinate, so he agreed to take the blame for her!

"Boss, you can rest assured now." The subordinate who reported the matter told Cen Juan.

Cen Juan nodded. "Who told him to be so stupid? I told him to drug those bastards and wait for them to fall asleep so I could steal Qiao Jiabao out for me. But he ended up getting himself into trouble!"

Cen Juan felt no guilt at all and only thought that her subordinates had brought the disaster upon themselves.

"It seems that Gu Tingchen has strengthened security in all places that need to be defended." Cen Juan said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

After hearing this, the subordinates were also in a dilemma, "Then boss, what should we do now?"

"There are plenty of ways. I just don't believe that no one in the Gu family will go out. Doesn't Jiang Ranran have three children who need to go to school? Keep a close eye on them. If they take my children away, I will take theirs too!"

When one plan fails, Cen Juan comes up with another one. In short, she doesn't want Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen to have an easy time!

Here, Qiao Jiabao packed up his things and prepared to go and tell Zhao Xiaocui in person, and then he would leave and continue wandering.

But when he reached the door of Zhao Xiaocui's room, Qiao Jiabao's feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He felt as if his heart was being grabbed when he had to leave the place where he felt most secure.

"Jiabao? Why are you here?" Just when Qiao Jiabao was hesitating whether to knock on the door, Zhao Xiaocui opened the door.

When she saw Qiao Jiabao carrying a small suitcase, her face suddenly fell.

"Are you leaving again?" Zhao Xiaocui pressed Qiao Jiabao's shoulder.

Qiao Jiabao felt a sore nose and threw himself into Zhao Xiaocui's arms, "Auntie, I have to go."

"What's going on? Tell me honestly." Zhao Xiaocui realized something was happening and hurriedly hugged Qiao Jiabao and asked.

Qiao Jiabao then told Zhao Xiaocui everything about what he had seen with Cen Juan and the person who had drugged her. Zhao Xiaocui was shocked but calmly reassured Qiao Jiabao: "Maybe it wasn't your mother who did it. Don't worry about it. Just live well. If you leave, your aunt will miss you."

"But if I don't leave, something bad might happen here again." Qiao Jiabao was like a little adult, worrying about the orphanage and the children here.

Zhao Xiaocui touched Qiao Jiabao's head distressedly and said, "Don't worry, Auntie will protect you."

As she said that, Zhao Xiaocui confiscated Qiao Jiabao's suitcase and asked him to promise not to leave secretly.

Qiao Jiabao didn't want to leave in his heart, so when he heard what Zhao Xiaocui said, he nodded obediently.

Zhao Xiaocui pretended not to care, but after comforting Qiao Jiabao, she immediately informed Jiang Ranran about the matter.
