Chapter 827 -830: Couldn’t Help Investigating Me, Could You?

At the corner, Xia Liu released his Divine Sense, and everything inside the orphanage unfolded before his eyes.

He saw Guo Man and three bodyguards entering Song Dan’s office.

“Director Song, this time it’s my lack of foresight. I startled the children—I’m sorry.”

Guo Man showed not the slightest air of authority.

At this moment, she was just a girl who had done something wrong.

Just like Xia Liu had said, she had brought a crisis to the orphanage.

If shadows are left in the children’s hearts, no matter how great the compensation, it cannot heal their wounds.

“President Guo, there’s no need for this. You’ve donated so much to the orphanage. Trouble was bound to come—it was inevitable and couldn’t be avoided.”

Song Dan could never blame Guo Man.

She had donated money to the orphanage, and no small amount of materials as well.

Moreover, her expression revealed that all of it came straight from her heart.

How could anyone blame such a kind person?

“Today, we really need to thank that young man from earlier. Director Song, do you know anything about him? I want to apologize and express my gratitude to him.”

Guo Man thought for a moment and decided to voice her intentions.

“The gentleman from earlier—Mr. Xia?”

Song Dan hesitated for a moment before replying.

“Yes. What does he do, and where can I find him?”

Guo Man grew curious—Song Dan clearly knew the man’s identity, which made things easier.

After being rebuked earlier, there was a moment of anger within her.

But upon thinking it through, she realized that Xia Liu’s words had been very rational.

Not to mention, his skills were extraordinary.

From the accounts of the retired soldiers who served as bodyguards, as well as her own guards, it seemed highly likely that he was also a retired special forces soldier.

“His name is Xia Liu, and he’s a man with a difficult past.”

“Oh? Why does Director Song say so?”

This time, Guo Man was entirely intrigued.

Xia Liu appeared to be very young.

And he possessed such exceptional talent—how could his life have been full of hardship?

“It’s roughly like this: his wife left home with his two-year-old child. He heard news that his wife and child might be in Harbor City, so he came here to search for them.”

Song Dan only knew some vague details. Beyond that, she had no other information.

“He loves children dearly. Every time he comes to the orphanage, he brings gifts for them. His smile is genuine, which also shows how deeply he misses his wife and child. If his family were reunited, they might have been a very happy family.”

As she finished speaking, Song Dan’s eyes began to glisten with tears.

Xia Liu was the unluckiest young man she’d ever encountered.

Most people his age might still be working, or perhaps enjoying life.

But him—he was already the father of a child, now turned into a man suffering from the loss of his family.

Guo Man’s expression also changed.

She had never expected Xia Liu to be such a person.

No wonder he had gotten angry at her; her appearance had put the children here in danger.

For the sake of protecting the children, he hadn’t hesitated to take action.

He seemed cold, but his heart was warmer than hers.

He was strong, using his strength in all the right places.

“Does Director Song know where he lives? I’d like to apologize to him in person.”

“I’m very sorry, but I don’t know anything else about his situation.”

“Alright, I understand. Director Song, please rest assured—this situation was caused by me, and I won’t simply stand by. I will definitely give you and the children an explanation.”

Guo Man promised.

“President Guo, please don’t push yourself too hard. It’s better to avoid dealing with those bad people.”

Song Dan felt a bit worried. If something happened to Guo Man because of the orphanage, she would carry that guilt for life.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I’ll be taking my leave now—workers will be arriving later to install the equipment for the yard.”

“Alright, thank you, President Guo, for your kindness.”

…

Looking out at the bustling old streets, hearing the shouts of street vendors.

Guo Man gave the order.

“Xilu, for the next few days, I may need you to stay and watch over the orphanage. If you spot that young man, follow him and try to gather information about him.”

“Understood, President.”

“Lina, head to Harbor City’s records department and see if you can pull a file on his background.”

…

Watching the taillights disappear down the worn road, Xia Liu stepped out from a corner.

“Can’t resist investigating me, huh?”

His lips curved slightly, and Xia Liu’s spirit lifted instantly.

With just a little more time to wait, he should be able to make contact with Guo Man.

To have drawn Guo Man’s attention, all his prior groundwork had not been in vain.

To celebrate today’s achievements, Xia Liu called Zhao Qian, asking him to come over after work so he could treat him to a meal.

Late at night, in a decent restaurant.

Zhao Qian glanced around uncomfortably.

He’d been to this restaurant several times, and the expense per visit typically ran around 700 to 800 HKD.

This was no small expense.

“Brother Zhao, don’t worry—I still have some money. Earlier when I was posting missing-person notices, someone contacted me today, saying they might have seen my wife and child in the Eastern District of Harbor City. Tonight’s dinner is a celebration in advance for finding my family.”

“Wow! That’s great news, Brother Liu! But don’t go overboard—what if the information turns out to be false…”

Snap.

“Look at my mouth, running like that. I won’t say another word tonight. For now, let’s celebrate and drink to you finding your wife and child!”

“Thank you for everything these last few days, Brother Zhao. Tomorrow, I’ll bring my wife and child to introduce them to you.”

“Haha! I’m really looking forward to it.”

Zhao Qian, having experienced all sorts of situations, naturally knew the appropriate words to say in moments like this.

Still, deep down, he felt a little concerned.

After all, Harbor City was filled with all kinds of people—it was possible Xia Liu had encountered a scammer.

But thinking about Xia Liu’s background as a retired special forces soldier, Zhao Qian’s worries subsided slightly. freeweɓnøvel.com

With some physical prowess, you don’t have to fear troublemakers. Losing some money was fine, as long as no serious harm came to him.

The dinner lasted until midnight.

Zhao Qian was completely drunk and, in the end, had to be carried home by Xia Liu.

Once Zhao Qian was taken care of, Xia Liu sat quietly on the sofa, contemplating step after step of his plan.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qian was up and out as usual.

Xia Liu was startled—after being so inebriated last night, how could he be so energetic today? Truly industrious.

After freshening up, Xia Liu bought some bread and took it to the orphanage.

“Director Song, I seem to have heard news about my wife and child in the Eastern District of Harbor City. I might not be able to come by often in the future. However, I’ll still be in the Jiuzhou City District for now. Here’s my phone number—if you encounter any danger, call me.”

“That’s wonderful! I hope you can find your wife and child. Leave the orphanage’s matters to me in the meantime.”

Song Dan was genuinely happy for Xia Liu.

Now, there was no longer any need to worry about the orphanage.

Guo Man had even assigned a bodyguard to stay at the orphanage.

It seemed Guo Man was serious about supporting the orphanage—as long as she was around, the orphanage could only improve.
