For a moment, Chen Jing's attention was successfully diverted.
She looked at the report in front of her, and her expression changed greatly.
After a long while, she whispered, "There is too little information to prove anything."
"Indeed."
Professor Bai nodded and said, "It's been a long time, and some things seem to have been deliberately covered up. It's hard to find any strong evidence. We are just guessing all the possibilities now. However, if the orphanage is really related to the laboratory that escaped that year, then there should be at least one person who knows the truth of this matter."
Chen Jing raised her head suddenly and said, "Zeng Xiaolu?"
Professor Bai nodded and said, "So, if you have to deal with the work now, then I suggest you do it."
"As for how the people with abilities outside the city smuggled weapons in and how they found ways to find out the news about the father and daughter of the Xu family in the main city, Old Shen is better at handling it than you, and he is more severe than you, so you don't have to worry about it, just leave it to him."
"As for the matter concerning this orphanage, you must handle it. I cannot rest assured if anyone else does it."
"..."
Chen Jing listened to Professor Bai's words, was silent for a while, and said: "What is the principle or bottom line?"
Professor Bai seemed to have thought seriously for a while, and then smiled and said: "When you start to consider setting a principle bottom line for yourself, it often means that you are panicking and will not do things well. So, I don't plan to set principles for you."
"Do what you should do!"
"This is the principle or bottom line you should abide by!"
"..."
Chen Jing listened carefully, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "I understand."
...
...
Because of this sudden large-scale chaos in Satellite City No. 2, everyone was more or less affected.
But the orphanage that was closer to the guard hall was well protected from the disaster. When Chen Jing's car stopped below the orphanage, she could even 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 were already many children's graffiti on the walls here.
However, these graffiti seemed to have been modified by another person. They were originally crooked smears, but now they have become lovely paintings.
Chen Jing is also good at sketching, so she naturally has a certain vision.
It can be seen that the person who modified the graffiti should be a very gentle person.
She was full of curiosity about the orphanage director who was very important in the single soldier's file.
At the same time, she was somewhat glad that she had ordered the people in the orphanage to be moved here for protection.
Although she only wanted to make the soldiers worry-free and cooperate with the investigation of hidden pollution sources in the satellite city, after connecting all the things before and after, she realized that her decision had helped a lot.
If the orphanage had not been moved here, an accident might have happened.
After all, Professor Bai's words confirmed that the Knights from outside the city knew the existence of this orphanage.
…
…
When she came to the third floor, she saw an old man in a light blue security uniform sitting on a stool at the corner of the stairs, reading a newspaper in his hand. When he saw Chen Jing coming over, he looked at her from above his reading glasses.
Chen Jing was wearing casual clothes, but she was tall and slender, with a well-tailored casual suit, short hair, and a sharp temperament.
Obviously, she didn't look like she should be here.
"I'm from the Security Department, and I'm here to see Dean Zeng."
Chen Jing knew that this man was the guard of the orphanage. When the orphanage moved here, he also followed. However, although the place here is better than the Red Moon Primary School, his security booth is gone, so he can only watch from the corner of the stairs.
The old security guard just glanced at Chen Jing and said, "The get out of class is not over yet, wait a minute."
Chen Jing also glanced at the old man and said, "Okay."
Then the two of them didn't say anything, one continued to read the newspaper, and the other waited quietly at the stairs.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, they heard the sound of the children above suddenly becoming noisy.
Chen Jing walked up the stairs to the fourth floor and saw a girl with a pile of textbooks on her knees, slowly sliding out in a wheelchair surrounded by children. She looked about the same age as Lu Xin, with a ponytail and a very pure look. She was the kind of girl who made people feel very quiet and trustworthy. She was even cuter than in the photo.
With a smile on her face, Chen Jing greeted him gently: "Hello, my name is Chen Jing, and I'm Lu Xin's colleague."
"Colleague?"
Teacher Xiaolu was a little surprised. She looked up at the woman who was about 1.75 meters tall and wearing high heels. She showed some surprise on her face. After a pause, she blurted out, "Are you the one who paid him so much money?"
Chen Jing didn't expect her focus to be here. She laughed softly and said, "The work he does is worthy of this reward."
Teacher Xiaolu nodded hurriedly, seemed a little nervous, and said, "Okay, what are you asking this time?"
Chen Jing said frankly: "There are some things in the past that I want to find out from you."
"Okay!"
Teacher Xiaolu was silent for a while, pointed to the office across the street, and said, "Then can you wait for me first?"
"I have to put down my book."
"..."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Jing agreed softly and went straight to the office across the street.
The room was about 20 square meters in size. It was called an office, but it only had a desk and an office chair. In the corner next to it, there were some toys, footballs, etc. It should be called a lounge. She was not in a hurry. She sat down in the office and casually picked up a homework book done by a child and started reading it. The writing was childish, but it was written very seriously.
"When I grow up, I will be a scientist and invent a chicken with ten legs so that people can eat chicken legs every day..."
"In the future, I will build a spaceship, fly up to the sky and blow up the moon..."
"In the future, I will marry Teacher Xiaolu..." (There is a comment at the end: Teacher disagrees!)
"..."
After watching for a while, Chen Jing couldn't help but smile:
"Are all the children here so ambitious?"
"..."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Teacher Xiaolu pushed the door open, and the wheelchair slowly came in. She smiled at Chen Jing with an apologetic look: "Do you want some tea?"
"No need to bother."
Chen Jing put down her homework, leaned against the desk, and smiled: "I just came to chat with you casually."
Teacher Xiaolu closed the door, nodded, and said with a serious face: "I don't know what you want to ask?"
"It's about Lu Xin."
Chen Jing said frankly: "You should have grown up in an orphanage back then, right?"
Teacher Xiaolu nodded and said: "Yes, he left when he was about thirteen years old, but he often came back to help me."
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "This man is so stupid, always giving me his salary. Sometimes, I saw that he was reluctant to wear thick clothes in winter, but he gave me the salary he saved to buy clothes and charcoal for the children... But to be honest, if it weren't for him, this orphanage might have been closed down a long time ago, and we... might have starved to death..."
"..."
"He is indeed a very good person."
Chen Jing smiled and said: "But this time, I want to know more about what happened in the orphanage."
Teacher Xiaolu lowered her voice, and after a while, she said: "In the orphanage, he was also a very good child..."
After a slight pause, she looked up 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 Xiaolu fell silent.
After a long while, she suddenly said softly, "What do you want to ask?"
Chen Jing slowed down her speech and said, "I just want to know some things that happened in the orphanage back then..."
"For example, what was Lu Xin like at that time."
"Also, when the explosion happened, what were you and Lu Xin doing..."
"..."
Suddenly, Chen Jing's eyes condensed slightly and she didn't say anything more.
Because she saw that Teacher Xiaolu suddenly took out a gun from her rolled-up clothes.
She pointed the gun at her chin, looked up at Chen Jing, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Chen Jing was startled, but she didn't rush to speak, just showed an inquiring look.
"I don't know what you want to ask. I know nothing about what happened back then."
Teacher Xiaolu's voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but her attitude gave people a surprisingly firm feeling:
"But I know that I can't let you hurt Lu Xin!"
"Our lives are good now..."
"He is such a good person. He deserves this peace now..."
"So, don't even think about getting 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... shoot myself to death!"
"..."
Chen Jing looked at Teacher Xiaolu quietly.
Her hands were 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 from.
Look at the rust on it, it's already very old.
It turns out that she said she was going to put down her book just now, in fact, she wanted to get this gun.
After a long while, Chen Jing slowly shook her head and said, "This gun has not been maintained, so it cannot be fired."
Then she slowly stood up, wrote down a number on the homework book next to her, and said, "I don't know what makes you so vigilant about 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 peace, and what I want to do is to protect this peaceful life."
"My goal has been achieved today."
She tore off the page of paper, then turned to look at Teacher Xiaolu and said, "My main goal is to ensure Lu Xin's safety, so that I can trust him more, and you, at least told me in this way that he is a trustworthy person..."
"...At least, he is a person worth trusting with your life."
"..."
She put the number on the table and said, "This is my number. You can call me directly if you have something in the future."
Teacher Xiaolu was slightly stunned when she heard what Chen Jing said, and didn't say anything for a while.
And Chen Jing walked past her and went to the door.
When she was about to go out, she suddenly turned around and smiled: "Also, I saw the bill posted downstairs, the water and electricity bills should be paid..."
"For Lu Xin's sake, I can help you cover up the problem of your private possession of guns."
"But you still have to pay the water and electricity bills and rent..."
