The three of them talked as they walked into the house.
As Li Ruo had predicted, the man was not among the crowd.
During this time, she and Wen Huaiyan even split up to search, but even as the day drew to a close, they still hadn't found anything.
Seeing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Wen Huaiyan, who was making lanterns nearby, noticed her mood and immediately shook his head, comforting her in a low voice: "It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future, there's no need to rush."
Anyway, they already knew where the man came from, so even if he could run away, he couldn't hide.
Li Ruo was taken aback by Wen Huaiyan's seemingly random remark and subconsciously looked up at him.
Meeting her focused gaze, the man coughed lightly but didn't say anything more.
The event at the welfare home ended quickly.
Looking at the lanterns and paper-cut window decorations hanging in the courtyard, and the children playing below, Li Ruo couldn't help but smile.
Those so-called "successful people" filmed enough footage and left the scene early on.
Most of the people who have stayed until now are genuinely concerned about the children in the welfare home.
As it grew darker, Li Ruo took a deep breath and finally gave up waiting any longer.
At that moment, the dean was tidying up the messy environment with the children, and they looked a little tired.
Seeing this, Li Ruo pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Why don't we help tidy up too?"
Seeing that her eyes were full of love for the child in front of her, Wen Huaiyan paused and nodded: "Okay!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward first and took the broom from the dean's hand: "Let me do it!"
"No need, how could I trouble you?"
The dean was startled by his sudden action and quickly stopped him.
But who can stop Wen Huaiyan from doing what she wants?
He didn't say anything, but silently took the broom and started sweeping the floor.
However, having probably never done this before, the man, who was usually very adept at business, seemed unusually flustered at this moment.
Seeing this, Li Ruo shook her head helplessly, a smile flashing in her eyes, and quickly stepped forward to help.
Fortunately, the yard was quickly cleaned up, and the director was extremely grateful for the two people's help: "Thank you so much for not only donating money to us but also helping to clean up."
"This is what we should do."
Li Ruo shook her head and said in a low voice, "Speaking of which, it's getting late, so we won't stay any longer."
"Then... I'll take it..."
Upon hearing this, the dean hurriedly spoke up.
But Li Ruo refused, saying, "No need. You've been busy all day and must be tired. We can leave on our own."
"Can……"
The dean frowned, wanting to say something, but Li Ruo and the other person didn't give him the chance. They just waved their hands and walked out.
At that moment, the sunset shone through the doorway, casting colorful patterns on the small bricks on the wall.
Seeing the bricks resembling beautiful little paintings, Li Ruo's mood improved considerably.
Just then, a man dressed in black and wearing a mask walked in hurriedly with his head down.
The moment they collided head-on, Li Ruo's pupils suddenly contracted.
That's right, the other party was the same person who attacked Wen Huaiyan that day.
At the same time, when the man saw the two people's faces clearly, he also recognized their identities.
Before he could react, his first instinct was to run outside.
"stop!"
Seeing this, Li Ruo was about to give chase without thinking. However, Wen Huaiyan stopped her.
"you……"
Li Ruo was somewhat surprised by his sudden action.
But before she could even ask, Wen Huaiyan made a phone call.
The man's face was cold and stern as he swiftly ordered, "Make your move!"
With just those two simple words, Li Ruo seemed to have a premonition.
Could it be...?
As expected, as soon as Wen Huaiyan hung up the phone, he looked at her and said, "I know you chased after him to catch him and confirm his identity, but what if he's carrying a knife again? Do you think you can handle him by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
She never expected that the other party had considered so much...
Looking at Li Ruo's appearance, Wen Huaiyan pursed his lips and raised his phone: "Besides, I have already arranged for bodyguards to wait around. As long as he shows up, he will have no chance to escape today."
As he spoke, he glanced at the time again and led Li Ruo straight into the alley next to the orphanage: "Let's go, he should have been caught by my men by now."
When the two arrived at the alley, the first thing they saw was a group of tall, burly men in suits surrounding the man in black.
The other party was pinned to the ground in a very disheveled state, and there was a dagger gleaming coldly not far away.
Upon seeing this thing, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.
If she had chased after him directly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Wen Huaiyan squatted down in front of the man and, under the man's angry gaze, ripped off his mask.
Looking at the face beneath the mask, Wen Huaiyan narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Jiadong."
Unexpectedly, he recognized him. Zhang Jiadong's expression changed: "You knew all along?"
But Wen Huaiyan did not answer. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "So who exactly sent you to attack Li Ruo?"
