Fu Wenzhi's voice was somewhat muffled. He hummed in response, staring at the flashing code on the computer screen in front of him, without saying a word.
Tang Wan, who was standing to the side, didn't know what was in front of him either, so she quietly stayed by Fu Wenzhi's side.
Being in an unfamiliar place made her feel uneasy, so she curled up on the sofa and tried to sort out her thoughts.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever really thought about who sent me to the orphanage.
Tang Wan's previous memories were very vague, not because she was young, but because after being frightened, her brain developed a self-defense mechanism to protect itself, resulting in the forgetting of the pain as a sequela.
The limbs can be accompanied by muscle memory, which can connect with the memory at that time under certain circumstances, producing a feeling of "déjà vu".
However, Tang and Wan could not distinguish between them.
Some of these may be one's own memories, while others may be the "Mandela Effect."
Memory can deceive oneself; Tang Wan can't distinguish between what's true and what's false.
She had also suspected that Xin Xin Orphanage was a huge cage, with many eyes watching her from the shadows.
It's like The Truman Show.
This is a grand, scheduled performance.
I feel like an animal with stereotyped behaviors, stumbling and lost in this closed world.
She is too young.
She couldn't make a sound, trapped in a world of black and white.
One step forward and you plunge into an abyss; one step back and you're swallowed by darkness.
Being able to seize this opportunity is already a blessing from heaven and the best possible outcome of one's own struggle.
Things can't get any worse.
Tang Wan knew this perfectly well.
But she couldn't prove that her memories were real, so she could only search for clues about her true past in every corner of the Xin Xin Orphanage.
Those hazy memories sustained Tang Wan, reminding her again and again that her world wasn't like that!
Fu Wenzhi glanced at the quiet Tang Wan out of the corner of his eye, thinking about the news he had received.
The message stated that Tang Wan had always stayed at the orphanage; she didn't arrive later.
According to the records, she was an abandoned baby.
This is completely different from what Tang Wan said.
Fu Wenzhi did not believe that Tang Wan was deceiving him.
He has eyes and ears, and he can tell what kind of child Tang Wan is.
She doesn't lie.
These two paradoxical statements are quite interesting.
Is the whole group lying?
How many people must have been involved in such a massive lie?
Moreover, isn't Tang Wan just an ordinary child?
Why would they go to such lengths to tell such a colossal lie?
As Fu Wenzhi pondered this, his hands continued moving.
Then he chuckled softly.
unless……
Tang Wan is not an ordinary child.
Her background is questionable.
Some people used black sand to cover the treasure again and again, trying to obscure her innate radiance.
They even tried to substitute glass for precious gems.
But unexpectedly, the plan failed.
Tang Wan tilted her head, looking at Fu Wenzhi who suddenly laughed, somewhat puzzled.
Is he laughing?
Although the corners of his mouth only curved up slightly.
Tang Wan thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the restroom.
She needed to wash the clothes before Lu Lin returned.
That was a gift from Lu Lin, which Tang Wan liked very much and cherished.
...
As night falls, something evil lurks in the darkness.
Lu Lin was very skilled, but he never showed it.
Self-defense items should not be displayed all the time; they should be given as a "surprise" when necessary.
But Lu Lin never expected to see a "surprise" here.
He was trapped in a ravine.
And a group of people are looking for him.
Lu Lin got separated from his men.
He really didn't expect the mountain roads here to be so rugged and complicated; he got lost as soon as he entered.
Moreover, the surrounding signal was poor, and Lu Lin's phone even lost signal several times.
In this desolate wilderness, being injured or killed is probably not surprising.
It was my own carelessness.
Lu Lin was aware of this as soon as he entered this place where there was no signal.
The waters in this backward place were deeper than Lu Lin had imagined.
The saying "bad people come from poor and remote places" applies to any era.
Thinking of this, Lu Lin felt somewhat fortunate that Tang Wan hadn't come out with him and hadn't experienced such a dangerous moment.
Tang Wan has already faced enough danger; Lu Lin still wants her to have more peaceful days.
Suddenly, Lu Lin heard footsteps crunching on withered branches and leaves. He quickly hid his phone behind his back to avoid being discovered.
Those accented words kept falling around Lu Lin: "They've found us?"
"Probably not, the figure looks like a child."
“Su Yue’s kid found us too, I feel like we need to switch places.”
"If you ask me, we should kill Su Yue's kid. She's really bothering us now."
"Oh dear, stop talking, stop talking! Hurry up and find someone, find that person and kill him, otherwise we'll be in big trouble once they find out about this place."
Lu Lin heard their conversation, and his expression grew even more somber.
They treat human life with such indifference, as if it were an insignificant ant.
Clearly, these people have crossed the line of humanity and turned against their own kind.
