For a moment, Chen Jing was successfully diverted.
She looked at the report in front of her, and the expression on her face changed greatly.
After a while, she whispered, "This information is too little and can't explain anything."
"Indeed."
Professor Bai nodded and said, "It has been too long, and some things seem to have been deliberately covered up. It is difficult to find any strong evidence. We are just speculating on the possibilities now. However, if the orphanage is really related to the escaped laboratory, then there should be at least one person who knows the truth about it now."
Chen Jing raised his head suddenly and said, "Zeng Xiaolu?"
Professor Bai nodded and said, "So, if you have to deal with work now, then I suggest you do this."
"Lao Shen is better at handling the matter of how the ability users from outside the city smuggled weapons in, and how they managed to find out the Xu family father and daughter's information about Main City, and his attacks are harder than yours, so you don't have to worry about this, just leave it to him without worry."
"As for the matters related to this orphanage, you must handle it. No one else can make me feel at ease."
"..."
Chen Jing listened to Professor Bai's words, fell silent for a moment, and said, "What is the principle or the bottom line?"
Professor Bai also seemed to have thought carefully for a while, and then smiled and said, "When you start to consider setting a principle limit for yourself, it often means that you are already panicking and are not able to do things Zhou Quan. Therefore, I am not going to set a principle for you."
"Whatever you should do, do it!"
"This is the principle, or the limit, that you should abide by!"
"..."
Chen Jing listened carefully, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Satellite City No. 2 Because of this sudden large-scale chaos, everyone was more or less affected.
But the orphanage that was relatively close to the Guard Department was able to avoid this disaster very well. When Chen Jing's car stopped under the orphanage, you could even faintly hear the sound of children reading from above the orphanage.
Chen Jing got out of the car, nodded to the soldier on duty next to the orphanage, and walked straight up the narrow stairs.
In just a few days, there are already many children's graffiti on the walls here.
However, these graffiti seemed to have been modified by another person. They were originally crooked scribbles, but now they have turned into cute paintings.
Chen Jing is also good at sketching, so she naturally has a certain vision.
It can be seen that this person who changed the graffiti must be a very gentle person.
She was full of curiosity about the little director of the orphanage, who had a very important role in the individual soldier's file.
At the same time, she was also somewhat grateful for her decision to order the people in the orphanage to be moved here for protection.
Although what she thought at the time was that the individual soldiers could have no worries and cooperate with Satellite City's hidden Pollution Source investigation work with peace of mind, but after linking everything before and after, she realized that her decision had invisibly helped a lot.
If the orphanage had not been moved here, there might have been an accident.
After all, Professor Bai's words confirmed that the knights from outside the city knew about the existence of this orphanage.
When they arrived on the third floor, they saw an old man wearing a light blue security uniform sitting on a horse at the corner of the stairs, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading. When he saw Chen Jing walking over, he looked at her from above the Old Hua mirror.
Chen Jing is wearing casual clothes, but she is tall and slender, with a well-tailored casual suit, short hair, and a sharp temperament.
It was obvious that she didn't look like she was supposed to be here.
"I am from the Guard Department, come to see Dean Zeng."
Chen Jing knew that this man was the guard of the orphanage. When the orphanage moved here, he also came with him. However, although the place here is better than Crimson Moon Elementary School, his security booth is gone, so he can only watch at the corner of the stairs.
The old security guard just glanced at Chen Jing and said, "Get out of class isn't over yet, wait a minute."
Chen Jing also glanced at the old man and said, "Okay."
Then neither of them spoke. One continued to read the newspaper, and the other waited quietly at the stairs.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I heard the sound of the children above suddenly becoming playful.
Chen Jing stepped on the steps and arrived at the fourth floor. He saw a girl with a pile of textbooks on her knees and slowly sliding out of a wheelchair surrounded by children. She looked about the same age as Lu Xin. She had a ponytail and looked very pure. She was the kind of girl who looked quiet and trustworthy. She was a bit cuter than in the photo.
With a smile on his face, Chen Jing greeted him gently, "Hello, my name is Chen Jing, and I am a colleague of Lu Xin."
"Colleague?"
Teacher Lu was slightly surprised. He looked up at this woman who was about 1.75 meters tall and wearing high heels. There was a look of surprise on her face. She was stunned for a moment before blurting out, "Are you the one who gave him so much money?"
Chen Jing didn't expect her focus to be here, so she laughed softly and said, "The work he did is worthy of this reward."
Teacher Lu nodded hurriedly, seemed a little nervous, and said, "Okay, what are you asking here this time?"
Chen Jing said calmly, "I want to find out about some things from the past."
"That's good!"
Teacher Lu was silent for a moment, pointed to the office diagonally opposite, and said, "Then please wait for me first, okay?"
"I have to go put the book down."
"..."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Jing agreed softly and went straight to the office diagonally opposite.
I saw that this room was about 20 square meters in size. It was said to be an office, but it only contained a desk and office chair. In the corner next to it, there were some toys, footballs and the like. It should be said that it was a lounge. She was not in a hurry, and sat down in the office. She casually picked up a children's homework and read it. She saw that the writing was childish, but it was written very seriously.
"When I grow up, I will be a scientist and invent a ten-legged chicken so that people can eat chicken legs every day..."
"I will build a spaceship in the future, fly into the sky and blow up the moon..."
"I will marry Teacher Lu in the future..." (There is a comment at the end: The teacher does not agree!)
"..."
After watching it for a while, Chen Jing couldn't help but curl up a smile:
"Are all the children here so ambitious?"
"..."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Teacher Lu pushed the door, the wheelchair came in slowly, and smiled apologetically at Chen Jing: "Do you want some tea?"
"No need to bother."
Chen Jing put down his homework, leaned his back on the desk, and said with a smile, "I just came to have a casual chat with you."
Teacher Lu closed the door, nodded, and said with a solemn expression, "I don't know what you want to ask?"
"It's about Lu Xin."
Chen Jing said calmly, "You must have grown up in an orphanage back then, right?"
Teacher Lu nodded and said, "Yes, he left when he was about thirteen years old, but he often came back to help me."
After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "This man is so stupid. He always brings his salary to me. Sometimes, I see that he is reluctant to wear thick clothes in winter, but he takes the salary he saves and asks me to buy clothes and carbon for the children... But to be honest, without him, this orphanage may not be able to run long ago, and we... may have starved to death..."
"..."
"He's a really nice guy."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "But this time I come here, what I want to know more is what happened when I was in the orphanage."
Teacher Lu lowered his voice, and after a while, he said, "He was also a very good child in the orphanage..."
After a slight pause, she raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Jing: "What's there to ask?"
Chen Jing looked at her quietly and said softly, "There was an incident in the orphanage back then, right?"
Teacher Lu fell silent.
After a long time, she suddenly whispered, "What do you want to ask?"
Chen Jing slowed down his speech and said, "I just want to understand some of the things that happened in the orphanage..."
"For example, what did Lu Xin look like at that time."
"Also, when the explosion occurred, who were you and Lu Xin..."
"..."
Suddenly, Chen Jing's eyes narrowed slightly and he said no more.
Because she saw that Teacher Lu suddenly took out a gun from her rolled-up clothes.
She aimed the gun at her chin and looked up at Chen Jing, tears slowly welling up in her eyes.
Chen Jing was surprised, but he didn't speak in a hurry, he just looked inquiringly.
"I don't know what you are asking. I don't know anything about what happened back then."
Teacher Lu's voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but her attitude gave people a surprisingly firm feeling:
"But I know I can't let you hurt Lu Xin!"
"Our current life is very good..."
"He is such a good person, and he deserves this kind of peace now..."
"So, you can't get anything from me, I won't allow you to hurt him!"
"..."
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and held the gun tightly. "I know you have many strange ways to make me speak..."
"But if you force me, I would rather... beat myself to death!"
"..."
Chen Jing looked at Teacher Lu quietly.
Her hand was shaking, but her slender fingers were firmly on the trigger.
Nowadays, guns are banned in the entire Satellite City. I don't know where this wheelchair-bound orphanage teacher got the gun.
Look at the rust on it, it's very old.
It turns out that when she said she was going to put down the book just now, she actually wanted to get the gun.
After a while, Chen Jing slowly shook his head and said, "This gun cannot be fired without maintenance."
Then she slowly stood up, wrote a number from the homework book next to her, and said, "I don't know what makes you so wary of everything, but what I want to tell you is that not everyone in this world is like that. You cherish this peaceful life and hope that he will continue to maintain this tranquility. And what I want to do is to protect this peaceful life."
"My goal has been achieved today."
She tore off the page, then turned to look at Teacher Lu, and said, "My most important purpose is to ensure the safety of Lu Xin, so that I can trust him more. And you, at least in this way, told me that he is a trustworthy person..."
"... At least, he is someone worth trusting with your life."
"..."
He put the number on the table. "This is my number. If you need anything in the future, you can call me directly."
Teacher Lu was slightly startled after listening to Chen Jing's words, and he didn't say much for a while.
Chen Jing, on the other hand, passed directly by her and headed towards the door.
When she was about to go out, she suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Also, I saw the bill posted downstairs. It's time to pay the water and electricity bills..."
"For Lu Xin's sake, I can help you cover up your concealment of guns."
"But you still have to pay the water, electricity and rent bills yourself..."
