Chapter 383: Chapter 60: Afraid They Won’t Die

Li Changhe and He Feng would visit Old Man Yun every once in a while.

All those unadopted children had this habit. In a way, this place was like their old home.

So when the [Sun Halo] affected the orphanage, everyone rushed over in a panic.

The mental state of the people at the time was probably like this.

"Holy shit, they robbed our home!"

"Look at what they can do!"

"Damn, those simpletons!"

"Group up and fight!"

"Oh boy!"

...

After the event, Li Changhe used the gold coins of [Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty] to kill them in order to prevent the other party from tracking the orphanage through those clues.

Those in the [Sun Halo] who stayed behind with Yanyun either got captured or were killed, completely severing that thread of clue and eliminating future trouble.

After casually greeting the security guard, the two walked into the courtyard and saw Old Man Yun sitting on a swing.

Some graying hair was a bit dazzling in the noon sunlight; the wrinkles on his face were deep enough to trap mosquitoes; the old man who never gave up eventually grew old.

His thin body was clad in a somewhat yellowish cotton-padded jacket, sitting on the swing in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a moment of silence in their minds, but Li Changhe knew Yun Ting’s mood was very complex at the moment.

"Do you want to go see him?" Li Changhe asked in a low voice.

"No... this is enough." Yun Ting’s voice was a bit hoarse: "Don’t break Mr. Bai’s suggestion."

Li Changhe shook his head slightly at He Feng. He Feng could only shrug to indicate there was nothing he could do.

Mr. Bai had once adjusted the psychological suggestion for the old man, making him temporarily forget the existence of Yun Ting and Xiao Ye, which was good for both parties.

However, if Brother Ting wanted to see the old man, Li Changhe and the others were happy to oblige.

Unfortunately, Yun Ting never appeared in front of the old man since their last father-daughter conversation.

Perhaps it was regret, or guilt; Yun Ting just hid in Li Changhe’s body and quietly watched her father.

...

"What’s going on with the old man? Are funds running low?" Li Changhe asked a familiar face nearby.

"Old Man Yun? He encountered some problems, and he needed to think it through." The acquaintance was a short young man with a slight limp in his leg.

His footsteps were uncoordinated as he walked out of the room, raising his hand to greet the two.

He was a few years older than Li Changhe, and not long ago, he obtained a preschool teacher qualification.

So, he simply came back to help the old man take care of the children.

"Actually, I’ve always had a question. Since you two are back, I’ll ask."

"You say... no, just Li Changhe." The young man glanced at He Feng and corrected himself: "If your parents suddenly come to find you, what will you do?"

Parents? Li Changhe hesitated for a moment: "Well, I must have a look. What kind of top-quality parents could give birth to a handsome guy like me and leave me at the orphanage?"

Li Changhe had really thought about this, even creating many childish fantasies in his head.

Maybe his parents had to abandon him because of a certain reason.

Once they sorted out their troubles, they would come back for him.

It was understandable; they had no other choice.

But the more he thought about it, the more unreliable it became. And the lonelier he felt.

"Seeing how narcissistic you are, they probably wouldn’t even dare to acknowledge it." The young man replied.

"If they can’t understand my wisdom and beauty, then they must not be my biological parents." Li Changhe shrugged: "If they are not my biological parents, then they are scammers. If I don’t beat the shit out of them, they can consider themselves lucky."

"There’s some truth to that." Old Man Yun’s voice sounded, his bewildered expression fading and his eyes gradually firming up.

He stepped off the swing, walked up, and patted the shoulders of Li Changhe and He Feng: "You don’t have to visit me often, just live your own lives. I’m busy today, so I won’t entertain you. Just go back."

What? They weren’t even staying for a meal?

Li Changhe looked at Old Man Yun’s even more upright figure and wondered what nerve he had touched.

Old Man Yun walked back into the room without looking back but inexplicably felt someone lightly tugging at his sleeve.

The force was small, but it made Old Man Yun turn around in an instant.

But he saw nothing, only a single black strand of hair fluttering in the wind. It brushed past the old man’s arm, just like a mischievous child gently holding onto an elder’s hand. Feeling a little lost, Old Man Yun gripped the strand of hair, as if it gave some comfort.

...

"Are parents here to pick up the children?" He Feng seemed to have figured it out.

"Yeah, a man and a woman. They showed a bunch of files proving they were related to the little girl. They claimed to have found her after inquiring around and wanted to take her away." The young man gestured and mentioned a name.

Li Changhe and He Feng pictured a round-faced little girl in their minds; she should be no more than ten years old.

She came to the orphanage three years ago after losing her parents in an accident. They were not quite familiar with her, but they had seen her a few times.

"But the girl doesn’t want to leave, and the old man is hesitating. He said he feels something’s off." The young man shrugged.

"It’s normal to be cautious, especially around the holidays. All kinds of demons and ghosts are everywhere." After exchanging glances with He Feng, Li Changhe left the welfare institute.

...

A few minutes later, a tall man and a middle-aged fat woman left the welfare institute as well.

Walking past the roadside bushes, the tall man threw out an empty pack of cigarette butts.

He whispered: "That old man is holding on too tightly. If we keep talking, we’ll likely make a mistake."

"Why is he holding on so tight, even though we got the girl’s relative’s real information?" The middle-aged fat woman, wearing a fur coat and a gold necklace, said something very offensive: "Could he be a pedophile?"

"It is because of people like that that our business is doing so well." The tall man whispered: "If it weren’t for the girl the dwarf saw yesterday getting away, we could have gotten another one this time."

"Don’t be careless. People in the industry say there’s something off about Yanyun. Let the dwarf be more cautious! Finish this deal and get out of here quickly. The buyer is getting impatient." The middle-aged woman warned.

"Don’t worry. We’re very careful." The tall man looked around. In this suburban area, even pedestrians were rare. There was no danger of being tracked.

As they drove away, they did not know that three black hawks were circling in the sky.

They also did not notice that the bushes they had just passed were rustling, and two figures emerged from within.

"Why are they questioning why he holds on so tight?" Li Changhe brushed off the dirt and dried leaves on his body.

"They can’t understand it." He Feng crumpled up the cigarette butt that had landed on him: "Having a human form but not acting like a human. They can’t even be considered human beings, so how can they understand Old Man Yun’s feelings? The old man... doesn’t want to lose anything else."

"Then there’s nothing more to say." Yun Ting said coldly: "Let’s fulfill their desire of not being human."

Heaven has a road that you don’t walk; hell has no door, but you come anyway. It’s all been delivered to your face, and if they escape, they don’t need to bother with [Player] anymore.

Li Changhe didn’t think of himself as a bloodthirsty person, but there was no need to treat human traffickers as humans in the first place.

He suddenly regretted alerting the [Great Wall] yesterday.

"Let’s follow them. We have to act before the [Great Wall] and the police."

"I’m afraid they won’t die soon enough!"
