Chapter 24

"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 for a simple meal this noon."

"Okay." Chen Hao nodded.

"Everyone, don't just stand there; let's go to my office to have 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 a bit slow in the head; his pair of bright, large eyes stared 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 found a wooden board on the ground.

Although it was covered with some withered 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 reached out and lifted the board.

Immediately, a large hole appeared before Chen Hao.

This was a place similar to a basement.

Chen Hao, filled with doubt, climbed down the ladder.

Before long, he reached the bottom.

"What is that smell? Why does it stink so much?"

Chen Hao began to walk forward.

Good heavens.

You wouldn't know until you saw it; seeing it gave him a fright.

In front of 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, curling up in the corner and shivering.

Their eyes revealed despair for life.

Seeing this, Chen Hao's anger instantly surged, and his fists clenched subconsciously.

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

This scene, which looked like hell,

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

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

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

Chen Hao didn't make a move; he quickly left the place.

Then he covered the wooden board and spread withered leaves over it.

Jia Zhen could become the director of a welfare institute; he must have someone behind him, plus Jia Zhen was a Stage Eight Soldier Realm expert.

If Chen Hao made a move, it would be like 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 emerged in Chen Hao's mind.

"It's you."

After thinking everything through, 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 asked with concern.

"Yeah, maybe the barbecue last night wasn't cooked well, causing an upset stomach, so I stayed in the restroom a bit longer."

"Sorry about that!" Chen Hao said.

"Sigh, it's okay, young man, you need to pay more attention to your health and not eat things randomly."

"Otherwise, when you get old, you'll suffer."

Jia Zhen said.

It must be said that his 【Sanctimonious】 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 something came up?"

"What is it?"

"You'll know when you get here."

"Okay."

... Inside the welfare institute.

Tian Wenjing felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

"The matter you spoke of is just having me come to help you take care of these children?"

"What else?"

"Alright."

Tian Wenjing felt a bit speechless.

Looking at those 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."

"How about this, it's too empty here."

"Let's go to the back to play; there are more miscellaneous items there, 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. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
