Chapter 10: It

Looking at the tear-stained Gu Yue, Chen Hao felt a bit helpless.

Regarding this kind of thing, some people are naturally slower to grow than others.

Most people, the first time they kill someone, will be like her.

This September, Gu Yue was going to report to the Jiangnan Ability University.

If Gu Yue couldn’t overcome this hurdle, Chen Hao felt she wouldn’t go very far.

Even if she possessed the B-grade ability [Jeet Kune Do].

Just as Chen Hao and Gu Yue were talking, he felt a flash of hostility.

He followed the feeling and discovered a man standing at a second-floor window.

The man was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and, upon seeing Chen Hao, smiled slightly at him.

“This guy possesses the [Hypocritical] ability? And he’s an eighth-tier Soldier Realm expert!”

Chen Hao hadn’t expected that [Hypocritical] could also be an ability.

[Hypocritical], D-grade ability: converts the evil energy emitted from within the body into righteous energy, making people around you feel you are a gentleman, thereby increasing their favorability toward you. (Note: It is only a masking effect.) Seeing this, Chen Hao was somewhat delighted.

Isn’t this exactly the ability he needs right now?

The grade of an ability represents its effectiveness.

The higher the grade, the better the effect.

Clearly, under the blessing of the D-grade [Hypocritical] ability, everyone regarded this guy as a good person.

Just as Chen Hao was pondering.

“Gu Yue, is he your boyfriend?”

The man from before didn’t know when he had walked down from upstairs.

Hearing this, Gu Yue remembered the scene of her grandfather playing matchmaker between her and Chen Hao, and her face couldn’t help but flush red.

Seeing this, a flash of displeasure crossed the man’s face, and there was even a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

All of this was captured by Chen Hao.

“Chen Hao, let me introduce you; his name is Jia Zhen.”

“He is the director of this orphanage.”

“He is a well-known philanthropist far and wide, having taken in many homeless children.”

When saying this, Gu Yue was full of smiles; she had a good impression of Jia Zhen.

“Hello!”

Jia Zhen extended his right hand to Chen Hao.

“Hello.”

Chen Hao shook hands with Jia Zhen.

“It’s rare for you to come over; I just ordered the kitchen to make lunch for you.”

“Stay and have a simple meal at noon today.”

“Okay.” Chen Hao nodded.

“Everyone, don’t just stand there; let’s go to my office to drink some tea.” Jia Zhen invited Chen Hao and Gu Yue.

“Okay.”

Chen Hao and Gu Yue followed Jia Zhen to his office.

After drinking tea in Jia Zhen’s office for a while.

Chen Hao felt a sudden urge to urinate.

So he walked out of his office.

Just after finishing in the restroom, he saw a dirty little boy standing at the door.

The little boy seemed not very bright, and his large, bright eyes were staring fixedly at Chen Hao.

Before Chen Hao could ask anything, the little boy ran away.

He ran to the end of the corridor and stopped.

It seemed he was waiting for Chen Hao.

“Is he trying to take me somewhere?”

Chen Hao followed the little boy.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the backyard.

The little boy stopped at a certain spot.

Chen Hao took a look and discovered a wooden board on the ground.

Although it was covered with some dead leaves, the board was still exposed.

Seeing that Chen Hao had discovered the board, the little boy, whether out of fear or some other reason, ran away quickly.

Chen Hao extended his hand and lifted the wooden board.

Immediately, a large hole appeared before Chen Hao.

This was a place similar to a basement.

With doubts, Chen Hao climbed down the ladder.

Before long, he reached the bottom.

“What is this smell? Why is it so stinky?”

Chen Hao began to walk forward.

Good heavens.

He didn’t know until he looked, but he was shocked by what he saw.

Before him was a large iron cage containing many children.

However, these children were different from the ones outside; the children outside were healthy.

But these guys were missing arms and legs.

Upon seeing Chen Hao, they were like frightened birds, huddled in the corner shivering.

Their eyes revealed despair for life.

Seeing this, Chen Hao was instantly filled with rage, his fists clenching subconsciously.

He had the urge to rush out and beat Jia Zhen to a pulp.

This scene, which was like hell,

didn’t need guessing; it was definitely Jia Zhen’s doing.

Chen Hao was not an impulsive person; he calmed down quickly.

“I must find a way to deal with him, but not now.”

Chen Hao didn’t take action; he quickly left the place.

Then he covered the board and spread dead leaves over it.

Jia Zhen could become the director of an orphanage; he must have someone behind him, and furthermore, Jia Zhen was an eighth-tier Soldier Realm expert.

If Chen Hao took action, it would be no different than a sheep walking into a tiger’s den.

“I must find someone who can deal with him.”

Chen Hao thought quickly, and soon, a figure appeared in Chen Hao’s mind.

“It’s you.”

After deciding everything, Chen Hao returned to Jia Zhen’s office as if nothing had happened.

“Did you have a bad stomach? You were in the restroom for so long? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital to take a look?”

Gu Yue said with concern.

“Yeah, maybe the barbecue last night wasn’t cooked thoroughly, causing a stomach upset, so I stayed in the restroom for a while.”

“Sorry about that!” Chen Hao said.

“Sigh, it’s okay, young man, you need to take care of your health and not eat things randomly.”

“Otherwise, when you get old, you’ll suffer.”

Jia Zhen said.

It must be said that his [Hypocritical] performance was perfect.

If he hadn’t seen that scene just now, Chen Hao would have really thought he was a good person.

After eating lunch, Chen Hao and Gu Yue left.

The next day.

Chen Hao dialed someone’s number.

“Chen Hao? How do you have time to call me?”

The person on the other end seemed particularly surprised.

“Didn’t you say before that I could find you if I had something?”

“What is it?”

“You’ll know when you get here.”

“Okay.”

...Inside the orphanage.

Tian Wenjing felt a bit unbelievable.

“The matter you spoke of is just having me come to accompany you to take care of these children?”

“What else?”

“Fine.”

Tian Wenjing felt a bit speechless.

Looking at the laughing children, Chen Hao narrowed his eyes.

He said, “Everyone, gather around; let’s play a game together.”

“A game? What game?”

“How about hide-and-seek?”

“Yay, yay, hide-and-seek is the most fun.”

“Let’s do this, it’s too empty here.”

“Let’s go to the back to play; there are more miscellaneous items there, making it easier to hide.”

“Okay.”

The group marched toward the back.

At this time, Jia Zhen was standing on the second floor.

Jia Zhen already disliked Chen Hao.

Seeing him bring another person, his face was even more displeased.

When he heard they were going to the backyard to play hide-and-seek.

He panicked immediately.

They could play anywhere, but not in the backyard.
