His voice was loud enough that Lu Lin heard it clearly.
However, he was in a good mood now and wasn't going to lower himself to the level of this brat.
Even without Su Jiajia and Guo Yueze, the atmosphere was actually a little better.
The meal was quickly finished, and both adults and children obediently picked up their bowls and went to wash them.
Only Tang Wan and Tu Lu Si did not go.
The person who cooks has the right not to wash the dishes.
As evening approached and darkness fell, the chubby director rushed in looking uneasy.
He looked at Lu Lin and uttered the devastating news: "Jiajia is gone."
Lu Lin paused in wiping Tang Wan's face, then asked, "Didn't Guo Yueze go to see her?"
"I've searched everywhere in the neighborhood, but I can't find it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin slowly stood up and looked at the cameras that had been turned off around him. He knew what the fat director was up to.
However, he still said, "The Lu family has no roots here, so they're hard to find."
The chubby director knew that Lu Lin just wanted his promise, and said irritably, "Don't you know who I am? I won't edit it randomly."
Unexpectedly, Lu Lin shook his head: "That's not what I meant."
"I want you to have the production team ask the residents next to Xin Xin Orphanage."
The overweight director sensed a hint of danger in his tone and wanted to refuse.
Although I knew there was something unusual about Xin Xin Orphanage, I couldn't very well let my people take the risk.
They are all ordinary people, honest workers. What did they do to deserve such a risk?
Thinking of this, the chubby director shook his head: "No, Brother Lin, I have to be responsible for other people's lives. We can't do this."
Lu Lin glanced at him and thought that the fat director was the kind of person who didn't use his brain when he should, but whose thoughts became wildly imaginative when he shouldn't.
How could I possibly let those innocent people go to explore danger?
He's not some kind of devil.
Looking at the anxious, chubby director, Lu Lin knew that the little fat man was just trying to be helpful, and then said, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted you to go and see what the people around you think of that orphanage."
"The production team also needs some feedback from residents, doesn't it?"
The fat director understood what Lu Lin meant, but he still said, "The residents here seem to have a pretty good impression of that orphanage."
“We came here two years ago. They said that the adoption rate of children in this orphanage is very high, and very few children stay in the orphanage for long.”
At this point, the chubby director paused, subconsciously looking up at Lu Lin. Seeing that he wasn't angry, he continued, "Besides Xiaodou who came last time, only Tangtang has stayed at this orphanage for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin asked, "You've been in contact with Tangtang these past few days. Do you think Tangtang is as they say?"
The chubby director knew, of course, that Tang Wan wasn't like what they said. That's precisely why he didn't want to go looking for those people anymore; who knew what they were up to?
However, looking into Lu Lin's eyes, the long-lost youthful spirit welled up in his heart.
yes.
He knew perfectly well that the truth might differ from what he understood.
Finally, the chubby director rubbed his bald head and said irritably, "I really owe you one. I'll go ask you myself tomorrow!"
Lu Lin received a satisfactory answer, patted the fat director on the shoulder, and said, "Pan Yue, I knew you weren't the kind of numb person."
If they were truly numb, they wouldn't be using their own money to subsidize a program with no future.
Pan Yue rolled his eyes, then put on his hat and urged, "Alright, hurry up and go find someone."
Lu Lin walked out the door, while Tang Wan, on the other side, clung to the door frame, watching the direction Lu Lin left in, a hint of worry appearing in her dark, grape-like eyes.
For some reason, a sense of panic welled up inside her.
She wanted to stop Lu Lin from going out.
It's dangerous outside.
But this thought came too strangely, and Tang Wan didn't know how to bring it up with Lu Lin.
He could only watch Lu Lin's departing figure before running after him.
The night swallowed Tang Wan's figure. Looking at the dim streetlights, she hesitated to take a step.
However, her desire to protect her brother prevailed, and she gritted her teeth and ran into the darker area.
The moment she took her first step, it was as if she heard a gentle yet powerful voice.
She is a woman.
She was saying, "Baby, you will be a brave child, right?"
"I will be proud of you."
Tang Wan didn't know who she was, but she felt very sad because of her voice.
She was so sad that she almost cried.
A gray rabbit ran under the bright moonlight, heading towards the darkness.
The suffocating darkness almost swallowed Tang Wan's body. In the night, everything seemed to grow fangs, ferociously trying to tear apart the tiny Tang Wan.
She was afraid, she was trembling, and her fingertips were cold.
Tang Wan had never told anyone that she was afraid of the dark.
She wasn't born afraid of the dark.
It's just because he was locked up.
It's too dark.
It's so dark.
It was pitch black, and you didn't know whether you were stepping on the ground or into an abyss.
Suddenly, Tang Wan heard Su Jiajia's voice, reacted immediately, and ran in the direction of the sound.
Su Jiajia's voice sounded shocked, yet also tinged with despair, as if she had encountered something she was completely unable to handle.
Tang Wan was afraid something would happen to Su Jiajia.
Although Su Jiajia used to bully me, I can't just...
We can't just leave it unattended, can we?
That's a life too!
Thinking of this, Tang Wan took a step forward and ran even faster.
However, just as she was about to run over, she heard Su Jiajia's voice again.
"Mom! What are you doing?"
"Why, why..."
"Why are there so many bones here!"
"Mom, what are you doing?!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wan reached out and covered her mouth tightly.
She opened her eyes wide and, through the gaps in the grass and trees, saw an open space with many simple tents.
Outside the tent, an old lamp was still emitting a piercing crackling sound.
Dean Su was facing away from the light, his entire face shrouded in darkness.
She looked at Su Jiajia with an unprecedentedly cold tone, almost inhuman.
Dean Su: "Jiajia, what are you doing here?"
Tang Wan was on the verge of a breakdown when she saw Su Jiajia.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her mother as if she were a stranger.
"Mom, turn back now! You can't do this kind of thing!"
"Mom, come with me to turn ourselves in. Don't do these things anymore..."
This was the first time Tang Wan had ever seen Su Jiajia with such a sorrowful expression; she looked as if she was about to die of grief in the night.
However, Dean Su, who always doted on Su Jiajia, simply raised his hand in silence.
Then he slapped Su Jiajia across the face.
With a "snap".
It looked like something had been broken.
