Chapter 150: Evaporated
"Do you know the man named Li?"
Jiang Runan is handsome, so these women all want to get his favor. Even though Jiang Runan is furious and looks scary, they still answer his questions.
"We were asked by the director to come here to look after the children. We haven't been in the orphanage for long. If you ask me that, I don't know the answer."
Jiang Lunnan now knew he had been deceived and hurriedly called his men, "Where are you?"
These people were arranged by Jiang Runan to wait for his instructions nearby. After hearing Jiang Runan's words, they immediately replied: "We have been staying nearby all the time."
"Come here quickly, I'm going to turn the orphanage upside down!"
Jiang Runan's furious voice also affected these people. It took them only five minutes to reach the welfare home. According to Jiang Runan's words, they really turned the place upside down and left nothing behind.
However, even so, they could not find any trace of Xu Yangyang. It was as if Xu Yangyang had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing from the world together with the dean.
Standing in front of the rusty gate, Jiang Lunnan pulled the child's arm and tried his best to look calm.
"Did you tell her that this was the detention room?"
The little girl nodded fearfully. After knowing the relationship between Jiang Runan and Xu Yangyang, no matter how fierce Jiang Runan was at this moment, he was still a good person in the eyes of the child.
"I did see them being brought into this room before. I really didn't lie to you, Auntie."
After experiencing an autistic child like Chenchen, Jiang Linan also understood that a child living in this environment would not lie to someone who could save him.
But he had searched the room and really couldn't find Xu Yangyang. Even Xiaohua and Yunyun, who they said were arrested, were nowhere to be found.
"I didn't see anything here when I worked here before. Besides, if there really is a detention room, why don't we know about it?"
One of the teachers wanted to defend himself, but after being glared at by Jiang Linan, he shrank his neck and returned to the crowd.
However, Jiang Linan asked his men to watch them and did not give them a chance to leave.
"Go search the orphanage again. I don't believe you can't find her!"
Jiang Linnan gave the order and his men immediately started to move again. However, they still had not found any trace of Xu Yangyang until dawn.
"They disappeared very quickly, and we found no trace of them leaving here."
The men lowered their heads, fearing that they would be scolded by Jiang Runan, but they really did not find the lady.
At this time, Jiang Linan had calmed down a lot. He sat on the bench in the yard, looked at the children who had not slept all night, waved his hand, and asked the teacher to take them downstairs to rest.
At this time, Jiang Lunnan looked up at the sky, his heart very calm.
However, his subordinates who knew him well knew that the calmer Jiang Linan appeared, the angrier he was.
"No need to stay in the orphanage. Go around and see if there's any sign of the vehicle leaving. I'll take care of the rest."
Jiang Linan's words made his men feel relieved. They quickly left the welfare home and started checking the surroundings.
But Jiang Linan took out his cell phone and called the police.
"Hello, I'm at St. Jacob's Welfare Home. Please come here quickly. My wife is missing."
After listening to Jiang Runan's description, the police drove here quickly.
They had come to investigate this welfare home before because someone called the police and reported that the director was abusing children.
However, after the inspection, they found no relevant evidence and the case was dropped.
But this welfare home had a criminal record, so after hearing Jiang Linan call the police, they immediately mobilized personnel to come and check.
"You mean, the dean here, along with the teachers and the cook, disappeared with your wife?"
This reason may sound funny at first, but since it involves the director who once abused orphans, they can't just sit there and wait for death.
"Yes, so I hope you can find my wife."
Jiang Runan said this lightly, and the police here also recognized who Jiang Runan was and their expressions became much more serious.
"Okay, we'll help you investigate the surrounding surveillance cameras to see where your wife was taken."
The police did what they said and contacted the on-duty personnel at the Public Security Bureau to investigate the surveillance, and they also conducted a careful inspection around the welfare home.
Jiang Lunnan was still sitting on the bench in the yard, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and others could not see any anxiety on his face.
Time passed minute by minute, and the police also conducted a large-scale investigation in the welfare home. When they saw the children's pale and emaciated appearance, they also felt that there was something wrong with the director.
But after their investigation, there was no sign of anyone leaving the area, the surveillance camera didn't capture anything, and there was not even any sign of anyone driving!
The police were also confused. They knew that Jiang Linan did not make a false report, but they really had no way to find him.
"We will keep this matter on file and conduct follow-up investigations. Don't worry, we will definitely find them all."
The police were also helpless. After telling Jiang Linan that they would follow up, they drove away.
Now Jiang Linan really had no way to find Xu Yangyang.
"Uncle, don't worry, Auntie will be fine."
One of the children boldly walked up to the angry Jiang Runan and grabbed his pants.
"Why do you say that?"
Jiang Lunnan squinted his eyes at him, but the child was not afraid. "The director rarely hits adults. He only seems to hit us kids."
"And the dean also said that goods like us are most valuable when we're alive. We're worthless when we're dead."
Seeing that Jiang Linan didn't seem to lose his temper, the rest of the children also intermittently talked about the outrageous things the dean had said to them.
The more Jiang Linan listened, the more he felt that this dean was outrageous. He should have let his men rush in directly to find Xiaohua's whereabouts instead of listening to Xu Yangyang and investigating slowly.
But Jiang Linan's rationality also told him that if he didn't do as Xu Yangyang said, he really wouldn't be able to find Xiaohua.
Because even that solitary confinement room was empty, there was no child locked up there.
To put it bluntly, the dean is a cunning and meticulous person. He has prepared many places and is smart enough to recognize that the two of them are here to investigate.
From the very beginning, they might have been suspected by the dean.
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with you. Now that the dean has disappeared, you can go out and have fun without any worries. No one will restrict you anymore."
Although Jiang Linan said this, he could still see that these children no longer knew what a normal child should be like.
