Chapter 99 Hysteria "I have no interest in these little brats. ...
After knowing the true identities of the five neighbors, Cecilia stopped running around at night and went to work at Ms. Qian's arena with Jia Dadan for two consecutive nights.
After these nights, Jia Dabao helped Ms. Qian win a lot of money and became a celebrity around her. And Cecilia was not idle either. She took advantage of Mr. Xiong's familiarity with the terrain and found the approximate location of the power room.
"I just know that it's around here. The woman is keeping a close eye on the power room. She holds the key in her hand and won't give it to anyone."
Having helped Cecia, Mr. Xiong was somewhat complacent. "It was thanks to me being a core member at the time that I was able to know a little bit of the secrets."
While Cecia was surveying the terrain, Mr. Bear kept chattering around her.
"There are almost no people here. I guess she deliberately arranged this to hide the location of the power room. But, hero, why are you asking this? Can you get the money?"
"Perhaps."
She answered in a cold voice, groping along the wall inch by inch, her eyes scanning every corner.
The area marked out by Mr. Xiong has a total of six ventilation holes and eight unknown pipes. Although it is not certain which one leads to the power room, if all of them fail, the power room will definitely not be spared.
Looking at Mr. Xiong who was approaching her with a shameless face, she flashed a hint of disdain in her eyes and said, "Get ready, we are going to have a big fight."
"Saturday, 14:00."
After a night of hard work, Cecia slept until the afternoon. Most of the mission time had passed, and the number of participants in the parties from Monday to Friday was zero. She only had two chances left.
"Xia, it's good for you to keep working diligently like this."
The teddy bear rubbed his eyes sleepily and fell on Cecia. He had been working night shifts with Cecia these past two days and had not gotten enough sleep.
"Anyway, if we have a job, we can survive in the room, and Ms. Qian values Mr. Jia very much, so we can get more by following him..."
Bang.
Cecilia slapped the teddy bear without hesitation.
"Can you be a little more ambitious?"
She was so disappointed with the little guy that she picked him up and placed him in the special place on her shoulder.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
The teddy bear covered his head in dissatisfaction. "Anyway, today is Saturday and the task progress is still 0. There is no other way..."
"How do you know you can't complete the task until the last moment?"
Cecia raised her eyebrows, turned around and walked to the living room with it, and entered Ms. Wen's door.
Of course, she didn't go in through the front door, but sneaked in through the window like she was used to it.
Whenever she is free these days, she will come to visit the children. As she is familiar with the blind spots of the surveillance, Ms. Wen has never found any problems again.
Lili's injuries gradually healed and she was getting better day by day. Ms. Wen's mental state was also relatively stable. The family maintained a harmonious atmosphere and no one mentioned what happened that night again.
Sadly, these are only temporary.
"...Did you miss mom today? Mom bought the most popular hazelnut chocolate from the chocolate shop at the entrance of the alley. Don't worry, don't worry, all obedient children will have a share!"
A gentle voice rang out in the room, and the children rushed forward, making the room noisy.
Ms. Wen? She's back so early?
Cecilia paused in her sneaking steps and looked for something to hide herself.
Generally speaking, Ms. Wen is busy with work and will not come back at this time. And because she is familiar with the surveillance range, she did not prepare balloons to reduce her presence in advance...
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to notice anything.
Cecilia hid behind the cabinet and could clearly see Ms. Wen's every move, but Ms. Wen could not see her.
The scene was very warm at this time. The children were very polite and took the chocolates one by one in order.
“Thank you, Mom!”
"Mom is the best, the chocolate is delicious!"
"I love mom the most! I want to eat matcha flavor next time..."
The children expressed their gratitude in a flurry, showing their trust and affection for Ms. Wen.
After that night, their relationship with Ms. Wen did not change at all. After all, after leaving the orphanage, they had only been exposed to Ms. Wen's education.
Young children could not tell right from wrong, and older children, after long-term influence, believed that this was the right thing to do. No one expressed dissatisfaction with her abnormal education.
The amount of chocolates was just enough, but Ms. Wen's mood inexplicably became low. She no longer smiled and looked at the empty bag, not knowing what she was thinking.
"…Who was the last one to get the chocolate?"
Ms. Wen lowered her voice, even softer than when she was handing out candy just now.
The originally lively environment immediately became extremely quiet.
None of the children dared to make a sound, and some were even shaking with fear. However, they were afraid that she would notice anything unusual, so they could only try to keep themselves steady.
"Who is it? Don't make me ask for the third time."
“Yes, it’s me…”
A thin boy stood up. He looked to be around fifteen years old, which was considered older than the other kids.
"Why not leave it for mom?"
Ms. Wen's eyes pierced him like a knife and she grabbed him by the collar.
"I ask you, why don't you keep it for mom? Mom treats you so well! As long as it is the best, mom wants to give it to you regardless of everything, but what about you? Why are you so selfish!"
She gradually raised her voice, roaring hysterically, and her expression became more and more distorted.
"I'm sorry, Mom... I'm sorry..."
The boy apologized repeatedly, his face full of guilt, and handed the chocolate he had just received to Ms. Wen, "Mom, this is for you. I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time."
"I asked for it, and you only know how to give it to me?"
Ms. Wen stared at the boy and grabbed his hair.
"Everyone looks down on me, including you! Don't think I don't know that the performance schedule has been adjusted and I was placed in the most remote venue! I just know that no one cares about me!"
Talking about irrelevant things, she vented her anger at the boy: "They can do this to me, but not to you! You are my child, and it was your mother who raised you! How can you not be grateful!"
She snatched the chocolate from the boy's hand, but instead of eating it, she held it in her palm and crushed the chocolate inside, until even the packaging became wrinkled.
"Don't you like to eat? I'll give it all to you!"
As she spoke, she pinched the boy's chin and stuffed half a fist-sized piece of chocolate into his mouth along with the plastic wrapper, choking him and causing him to cry.
"Mmmmm!"
The boy shook his head desperately, trying to resist, but his strength was no match for Ms. Wen, and his mouth was completely blocked, so he couldn't utter a word.
"Mom, my brother knows he is wrong, please let him go."
Lili watched from the side, unable to bear it, stepped forward, grabbed Ms. Wen's arm, and handed over the chocolate in her hand, "Give your chocolate to mom too, mom, don't be angry..."
"Get lost!"
Ms. Wen pushed Lili away, and her thin body fell to the ground. The wound that had not yet fully healed was hit again, and Lili gasped in pain.
The other children seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene and stood by without saying a word.
But Ms. Wen was not satisfied with this. She dragged the boy roughly, took more chocolates from other children, and stuffed them all into the boy's mouth, including the packaging.
The space in the mouth is limited and cannot withstand such treatment. The boy's face turned red from choking and he struggled in pain.
It seems that she still can't stay still.
I wanted her to live one more day, but now there is no way...
After watching the whole process, a cold light flashed in Cecia's eyes, and the axe in her hand quickly emerged.
"Let him go."
She stopped him coldly and walked out on her own initiative, exposing herself to Ms. Wen's sight.
"…It's you? How did you get in? Are you trying to seduce my child again?"
Ms. Wen stared at her warily and hugged the boy tighter, almost breaking his neck.
"I have no interest in these little brats."
Cecia sneered and strode forward, "Perhaps you would rather not see this thing."
She shook the camera in her hand, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"I filmed everything that happened just now. If it were to be made public, your reputation as a philanthropist would be ruined, right? Ah, maybe more than that. Maybe no one would watch your performances anymore."
"Child abuse... Just this alone will ruin the image you carefully created, right?"
Hearing this, Ms. Wen's expression froze, and her attitude suddenly softened, changing from her previous crazy look.
She let the boy go, tucked his messy hair behind his ears, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. I remember you invited me to the party, right? From now on, as long as it is a party you host, I will arrive on time."
Her eyes were full of pleading.
"Besides that, I will definitely satisfy any other requests you have. Don't send it out..."
"Very good, then please excuse me and talk to you, but not in front of the children."
Cecilia put away her camera with satisfaction and went upstairs first.
Suppressing her resentment, Ms. Wen followed him upstairs, and they both went to her bedroom.
"There's no one else here... You can tell me what you want..."
Ms. Wen kept a low profile, locked the door, and moved towards the pile of debris in the corner.
Cecilia saw everything. She walked straight to the closet, took down the familiar wooden box, opened it, and took out an urn.
"You should know what this is, right?"
She played with the exquisitely crafted box and looked at Ms. Wen with a smile.
