Chapter 129 Something is wrong
It would take a lot of time to investigate Chenchen's escape from the welfare home, so Xu Yangyang was not in a hurry.
Now Chenchen has opened his heart and has a smile on his face. Although Jiang Runan is still as indifferent to him as before, Chenchen likes to play with him more after knowing that he is a good person.
This resulted in Xu Yangyang seeing Chenchen and Jiang Runan staring at each other at the dinner table every morning when she woke up.
"Sister, don't you charge for treating other people when you go out like this?" Chenchen asked curiously, holding Xu Yangyang's hand.
When they were in the welfare home, some people charged a lot of money for their medical treatment. In order to spend less money, the director of the welfare home would let them bear the consequences when they were sick.
Over time, the physical fitness of the children there has declined overall, which has led to people who come to adopt not being able to see healthy children and being even less willing to adopt, creating a vicious cycle.
"My sister helps them with their medical treatment because she wants to improve her medical skills. Besides, my sister only treats them and doesn't prescribe medicine for them."
Xu Yangyang was also afraid that they would deliberately blackmail her, so after leaving Old Qin, she did not bring any medicine with her when she went out to see a doctor.
Medical treatment is free, and those people are embarrassed to get medicinal materials from Xu Yangyang.
Chenchen nodded, not quite understanding. The few times he followed Xu Yangyang out, he didn't run around. He followed behind her as if he was learning medical skills.
Xu Yangyang did not refuse. In fact, she had not yet figured out how to deal with Chenchen's problem.
If what he said during the investigation of the welfare home was true, could Chenchen stay with them after being punished in the welfare home?
She is still pregnant. After her child is born, can she give Chenchen her wholehearted care?
These thoughts filled Xu Yangyang's mind. Just as she was struggling with this, Jiang Runan's investigation results came out: "That orphanage really does have a lot of skinny, pale children, and it's quite far from the city. No wonder they've been abusing the children for so long without anyone noticing."
Jiang Linan stared at the information brought by his assistant with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about all this.
In fact, Xu Yangyang, who knew him well, knew that Jiang Linan was already angry at this time. The more silent he was, the more it meant that he would help Chenchen.
"Chenchen, come here." Jiang Lunnan waved to Chenchen casually and asked him to sit across from him. "Let me ask you, what is your partner's name, and why did you escape back then?"
Jiang Runan often negotiates with adults. At the negotiating table, countless people are afraid of Jiang Runan's eyes, let alone a child as young as Chenchen.
He shrank back, hid beside Xu Yangyang, and whispered, "We didn't have enough to eat at the time, and we were beaten by the dean. We wanted to fight back, but we couldn't even beat the big yellow dog guarding the door, so we had to run away."
According to Chenchen's description, the dean often took his anger out on them, so they wanted to run away a long time ago.
"From what you've said, you seem to be the oldest child there." Jiang Lunnan observed Chenchen's expression. "If that's the case, doesn't it prove that there are quite a few babies there?"
You know, children are very difficult to take care of. If the director really has so many children to take care of, he would have to hire a lot of people, right?
But during his investigation, he found that apart from the director, there were only two elderly people in the welfare home taking care of these children.
It doesn't match what Chenchen said.
"There are many children aged three or four. Usually, the two grandmothers cook for us, and the rest of the children are taken care of by us older children."
Chenchen heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Lunnan's words and immediately explained, "Us older children learned to take care of the younger ones very early on, and when they reach a certain age, they are sent out for adoption by the director. But we have never seen any of those children come back."
Come to think of it, how could a child who grew up being tortured like this possibly have any attachment to the orphanage?
But Jiang Lunnan did not agree with Chenchen's words. Instead, he said to the nanny, "Take the child back first. I have something to say."
Chenchen was taken away by the nanny. Jiang Runan took Xu Yangyang's hand and said with a frown, "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought."
Xu Yangyang was stunned: "What do you mean?" In her eyes, there was nothing wrong with what Chenchen said.
"Think about it, even if the orphanage had social welfare, it couldn't possibly support so many young children. And there's no news of the adopted children, and they were all taken away by the director..."
Jiang Lunnan said this coldly, with a gleam in his eyes.
"You mean, which dean is the most problematic?"
"That's right, it's not just the abuse of the child, there are probably other ways to make money." This is what Jiang Linan thought after hearing Chenchen's words, so he let him leave and discussed a solution with Xu Yangyang.
"Yangyang, I know you feel bad for Chenchen. Maybe this matter is not something you can solve. Why not let me handle it? It will be much faster."
Jiang Linan felt that it would be best to use his power to directly destroy the orphanage so that the children could be sent to other better orphanages.
Any welfare home in the city is better than that place.
But Xu Yangyang saw through his thoughts at a glance: "I guess what you're planning to do. If you use such a forceful approach, what if he really has an illegal source of income like you think? Even if you catch him, it will be useless."
Jiang Linan fell silent and held Xu Yangyang tightly.
"I understand what you mean. You don't want me to be in danger, but I'm just going to investigate. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Under Xu Yangyang's persuasion, Jiang Linan reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I agree that you can go to the welfare home, but I want to go with you too."
"You?" Xu Yangyang raised her eyebrows. Jiang Runan's temperament might be out of place standing in the welfare home. Would it really not arouse the suspicion of the director of the welfare home?
After dinner in the evening, when Xu Yangyang was telling Chenchen a story, she found that Chenchen was much quieter than before, as if she had just met and had not yet opened her heart to him.
"Chenchen, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yangyang had never seen a child as thoughtful as Chenchen. Even she, an adult, couldn't understand what he was thinking.
"Sister, did brother persuade you not to help me?" Chenchen kept his head down, his voice filled with tears, "But sister, I really have no other choice but to ask you for help."
"My friends are all suffering in the orphanage, and I really can't think of any other solution."
Chenchen grabbed Xu Yangyang's sleeve, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam, and soon her little face became red with tears.
