Chapter 143 Investigation of Background Obstructed
"Why did Dean Liang die?" Feng Yizhou stood aside, looking solemn, and asked slowly.
His eyes were fixed on the new dean, trying to catch any possible clues from her expression.
"A month ago, Dean Liang went out to buy groceries and had a car accident on the way back!"
The new dean sighed slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone.
Feng Yizhou frowned and fell into deep thought.
A month ago, Yi Ze seemed to have left China.
He clearly remembered that they signed the contract a month and a half ago, but he didn't expect that the man didn't leave.
Considering the connection between Dean Liang and Li Ruochu's life experience, the death of Dean Liang seems a bit strange.
Is there some unspeakable secret hidden behind this?
"Why did the car accident happen?" Feng Yizhou did not let go of this question and continued to ask.
"It was because the truck was driving while fatigued and accidentally hit Dean Liang!" The new dean continued to explain patiently.
There was no evasion in her eyes, and she didn't look like she was lying.
After hearing this, Feng Yizhou narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
In China, the only person who knew how Li Ruochu came to the welfare home is no longer around.
This made him wonder if someone was interfering and deliberately didn't want Li Ruochu to know his identity.
If this is true, then the power behind this must be no simple entity, and must be extremely wary of Li Ruchu's background.
"If I want to investigate surveillance footage from more than 20 years ago, is it still available?"
Feng Yizhou suddenly thought that the orphanage was no different from other places. In order to prevent someone from committing the crime of abandonment, sometimes evidence had to be left behind.
Although it happened more than 20 years ago, it is not completely impossible to find the videotape from that time.
After hearing this, the new dean looked at the two of them warily, with a serious look on his face: "Who the hell are you two!"
Her eyes were full of scrutiny, and she obviously had doubts about the identities and purposes of Feng Yizhou and Li Ruchu.
"My wife was sent to an orphanage, and I just wanted to find out who sent her there!"
Feng Yizhou stated his purpose frankly.
His tone was firm and his eyes revealed his persistent pursuit of the truth.
At this time, Li Ruochu had not yet reacted to Feng Yizhou calling her wife.
"You are..." The new dean was about to ask something when Feng Yizhou interrupted her.
"If you can promise to help me find the videotape, we at Shenggu can pay for the reconstruction of the welfare home." Feng Yizhou knew that sometimes a proper exchange of interests could make things go more smoothly.
He believed that this was an offer that the welfare home would find difficult to refuse.
After hearing this, the new dean's eyes flashed with surprise.
The facilities of the welfare home are old and have long been in need of renovation. This is undoubtedly great news for her.
"It's President Feng! It's no big deal if you want to check the videotape. I'll take you to the archives room right now!" Her attitude changed instantly and became enthusiastic.
After the dean finished speaking, he immediately took the two people to the basement.
The light in the basement was a little dim, and the lights on the walls flickered, as if they would go out at any time.
They walked slowly down the narrow stairs, their footsteps echoing in the silent space.
After opening an iron door, a pungent musty smell hit me in the face.
Li Ruochu couldn't help but cover his nose and frowned slightly.
"No one has been here for a long time, but if you want to find the videotape, you should be able to find it as long as you have enough time!" After the dean said this, he took the lead and walked inside.
Feng Yizhou looked around the archive room and found faint footprints on the dusty ground.
The appearance of these footprints made his heart tighten and his face gradually darkened.
He observed his surroundings calmly but didn't say much.
Two hours passed, and the dean searched among the piles of debris and old boxes, but still couldn't find the videotape.
The basement had fallen into disrepair due to years of neglect. The wind outside the window whistled past, causing the old window to creak, and the sound echoed in the silent and dim space.
It was like some strange whisper, adding a bit of horror to this already gloomy basement.
"Found it!" The dean's slightly tired but surprised voice suddenly sounded, causing a small echo in the basement.
Li Ruochu was originally a little anxious because of the long wait, but when he heard the voice, he instantly became excited like a child and ran towards the dean without hesitation to check.
However, when the dean held up the videotape, everyone was stunned.
I saw that the videotape had been bitten in half by a mouse, and the damaged part revealed the messy interleaving inside.
Li Ruochu's face was filled with shock, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, and blurted out: "How could this happen!"
Her voice was filled with disappointment and helplessness. The fire of hope that had been burning was instantly extinguished by this cruel reality.
"Most of the videotapes are stored in the basement after a year or two. It's probably because no one has been in there for so long that they were eaten by rats and became like this!"
The dean explained helplessly, with an equally ugly expression on his face.
She had been looking forward to finding the videotape so that she could get the funds for renovating the orphanage that Feng Yizhou had promised.
But now it seems that everything has gone down the drain, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of loss.
Feng Yizhou stood aside, without much shock on his face, as if he had already expected such a result.
He frowned slightly, glanced at Li Ruochu, and said softly: "Since this videotape is useless, let's go back and find other ways!"
His voice was steady and powerful, trying to soothe Li Ruochu's lost mood at the moment.
After saying this, he gently took Li Ruochu's hand and took her directly out of the archives room.
After coming out of the basement, the bright light outside made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Ruochu was obviously in a bad mood. She lowered her head and her steps became heavy. It was obvious that she was still immersed in the blow she had just suffered.
Feng Yizhou felt a little distressed when he saw Li Ruchu's lost look.
He moved closer to Li Ruochu and reminded him in a low voice: "Chuchu, I'm afraid someone got here before us!"
"Hmm?" Li Ruochu raised his head slightly and looked at Feng Yizhou in confusion, his eyes full of doubts, "You mean, someone wants to stop me from investigating my own life experience?"
A chill ran through her heart. She originally thought that she was simply looking for her own life experience.
Who on earth is so bored that he could even destroy a videotape from more than 20 years ago!
