It was already afternoon. He had finished an emergency meeting in the morning and flew here before taking a taxi.

The director's mother had just sent him a message twenty minutes ago, asking where he was so she could come out to pick him up.

Qian Xingxing thought about it and replied that there was no need to bother.

Looking at the chat records on his phone, he found out that a week ago, the director's mother told him that the orphanage would be demolished soon and hoped that the children could come back to visit.

Qian Xingxing: Why are you suddenly going to demolish the orphanage?

Dean's mother: This piece of land has been bought by someone else and they want to develop it. We can't just stay here and not move...

Qian Xingxing: Okay, I’ll go back and take a look next week when I’m on vacation.

The director's mother: Good children, thank you for your hard work. I have difficulty walking and can't leave the other children in the orphanage to visit you, so I can only trouble you to come...

Qian Xingxing: Don't say that. That's my home, I will definitely go back to take a look. Do you think anyone else will go besides me?

Dean Mom: Yes, I sent messages to all the children, but only you four were willing to come back for another look. You are all good children!

Qian Xingxing: Don't be sad. If you have any difficulties, please let us know. Where will the orphanage move to? What will happen to the children?

The director's mother said: "I've already contacted an orphanage that's willing to take them in. The children will be sent there. The environment will be better and more formal. As for me, I'll find work in a textile factory."

Looking at the conversation in the chat history, Qian Xingxing's heart was slowly filled with a trace of bitterness. In a trance, he seemed to see the "familiar" orphanage appear in front of him.

"Little brother, we're here."

The driver's words broke his trance. It was not an illusion. He had indeed arrived at his former home.

The orphanage is not very big and is not beautifully built. As time goes by, it has obviously aged. The gate is almost rusted and has no lock. It is closed with wire.

Qian Xingxing broke the wire and was able to enter easily. It was obvious that this orphanage was not "safe" at all.
