Tang Wan got back into the car, where Lu Ze, who was in the passenger seat, had already fallen asleep.

It was getting late, so Lu Lin took the two little ones home, ate dinner, and then prepared to wash up and go to bed.

But just as Lu Lin turned to leave, Tang Wan grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Seeing that the little brat was clearly not in a good mood, Lu Lin squatted down, pinched her ear above her pajamas, and asked in his usual tone, "Did she say something that upset you?"

Lu Lin knew from the beginning that Tang Wan was in a bad mood, and he also knew why.

He was just waiting for Tang Wan to come to him.

I want Tang Wan to take the initiative to express herself.

Upon hearing Lu Lin's words, Tang Wan paused in her actions, then slowly nodded.

Perhaps because this was the first time Tang Wan had taken the initiative to talk to someone, she seemed particularly awkward.

The mere act of extending his hand still brought Lu Lin some comfort.

So he patiently squatted down and quietly waited for Tang Wan to take the initiative to "say" what she wanted to say.

After a long while, Tang Wan slowly raised her hand and began to "speak" in sign language.

She said I was abandoned and that no one would like me.

[She said other children had things left by their parents, but I didn't, because I was particularly disliked.]

Tang Wan had just finished "speaking" those two sentences in sign language when she heard Lu Lin's angry voice.

"She's talking nonsense!"

Lu Lin rarely swears.

It should be said that very few people in the entire Lu family swear.

After all, swearing is too vulgar; they prefer to handle things in a more refined way.

Sometimes, it's just that saying a swear word is easier to vent your feelings than saying something polite.

He almost instantly hugged Tang Wan, pulling the little girl into his arms, and said in a firm tone, "She's talking nonsense!"

"Who wouldn't like Tang Wan?"

"Everyone will like Tang Wan!"

His tone was so firm that it dispelled the last vestiges of hesitation in Tang Wan's heart.

Tang Wan felt that she was already happy enough.

She has a new family, a house to live in, and a nurturing environment to learn.

She should be satisfied.

But she couldn't forget the figure in her memory.

She wanted to fill in her past memories and find out where she came from.

She felt that perhaps it was because of her "greed" that God had allowed Dean Su to appear before her and say those hurtful things.

but……

Tang Wan didn't care.

Although it would be sad and heartbreaking, she could endure it.

She just wanted to find an answer.

That's all.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed since Tang Wan met Su Li.

The orphanage incident in Huainan has gradually been investigated and clarified.

This is one of the most heinous cases in the last decade.

At the location where the saw was found by the production crew, the police unearthed a large number of skeletons. The skeletons looked very small, and it was easy to tell that they belonged to children who were five or six years old, with the oldest possibly being only ten years old.

Based on the age of the remains, people deduced that they were probably children from an orphanage.

After a forensic autopsy, it was discovered that the bones had been stored there for many years, and it was impossible to determine who they originally belonged to.

These skeletal remains were photographed and uploaded online, causing a huge uproar.

Real-life murders were happening all around them. No one expected that just watching a variety show would lead them to discover how close they were to a murderer.

Since Dean Su was arrested, public opinion around her has changed drastically. Those neighbors who used to say that Dean Su was a good person have all changed their tune and started cursing at her, saying that she has never been a good person.

Their memories seemed to have been altered, and they completely forgot how strongly they had supported Dean Su and Xin Xin Orphanage.

But the internet remembers everything. Many netizens edited together what they said before and what they are saying now and posted it online, making it as popular as the official posts.

But the neighbors just denied it outright, saying they had been blind and trusted the wrong person.

Looking at the villagers in front of her, Si Enzhi knew they were lying.

They're just pushing Dean Su out of the picture, trying to extricate everyone around him so their losses can be minimized.

The deaths of children at Xinxin Orphanage are not simply a matter of unearthing remains.

However, this heinous incident happened so long ago that the people in this area have developed sophisticated countermeasures.

They're like eels, so slippery, they disappear in the blink of an eye.

We were able to catch Dean Su, this time, thanks to Tang Wan.

Otherwise, this orphanage would have remained here for a long time.

As for Su Jiajia...

Looking at the trembling little girl beside her, Si Enzhi asked, "Do you remember these neighbors? Do you know them?"

Su Jiajia didn't know why this seemingly indifferent old woman would ask her such a question, but she shook her head.

In fact, Su Jiajia didn't know much about what her mother did on a daily basis.

She only knew that her family seemed to be very wealthy, but they usually didn't show it.

In her past life, she entered the entertainment industry herself and often saw her mother transferring money to her, which made her realize that her family was very wealthy.

But Su Jiajia didn't take it to heart.

She has always felt that as long as she has money to spend, why bother to investigate where the money comes from? Isn't that just making trouble for herself?

Looking back now, it seems that I was aware that the money might have come from dubious sources, which is why I was deceiving myself like this.

But Su Jiajia can't say that.

She not only didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking, but also harbored some resentment towards Su Li.

If only Su Li, that stupid woman, were a little smarter.

If she had hidden herself better, wouldn't these people have been unable to discover what she was doing?

Can't you just pretend you know nothing and enjoy that money without a care in the world?

She can't even do this simple thing right, and she got caught, so now she has no money left.

While thinking this to herself, Su Jiajia wore a panicked and uneasy expression on her face, looking as if she had been frightened by Si Enzhi's attitude.

Su Jiajia's appearance reminded Si Enzhi even more of Tang Wan in Kyoto.

They're both five or six-year-old kids, but the other kid wouldn't look at me like that.

That little brat's eyes were always open and honest, as clear as the moon, without a trace of gloom.

She wasn't afraid of herself at all; she was incredibly bold.

Thinking of this, Si Enzhi felt a little more relaxed.

She had Su Jiajia taken away to prevent the villagers from holding a grudge against her for making accusations against her.

Little did they know that these villagers had already taken a picture of Su Jiajia and sent it to someone.

It says so.
