Twilight Speaker

Chapter 29 Conflict breaks out, Xiao Wei's secret
"Come on, buddy, go and bring back the last fish that slipped through the net."

Zhang Zhibao put on the ring that symbolized the secret investigation department investigator, and then handed a warrant to his partner:

"It's a civilian, suspected to be at the extraordinary level, be careful."

Another investigator looked at the warrant and was a little confused:

"This is not an arrest warrant. Does it say 'to assist in the investigation'?"

Zhang Zhibao smiled:

"What's the difference?"

"Too."

The two investigators boarded a hovercraft and submitted their flight plan to the Air Traffic Control Bureau. After approval, they flew in the direction of the Eighth Ring.

“A dilapidated, filthy sewer.”

As they approached the eighth ring, Zhang Zhibao fiddled with the positioning compass and said so.

………………

Happy Orphanage.

"Silly girl!"

When Sha Ya heard the call, she looked sideways with a surprised smile on her face:
"The Prime Minister's Cauldron! The Prime Minister's Cauldron!"

She ran forward cheering, but was tripped by the fetters.
But Shaya quickly got up, stretched out her two little hands vigorously, and ran over, stumbling forward.

Chen Xiang hurried forward to hug Shaya, patted the dirt off her body, stared at Shaya's name tag with the number '4537' written on it, and asked softly:
"Why are you here?"

The silly girl sniffed her nose:
"I was captured by bad guys. They said Shaya was an orphan, but Shaya is not an orphan!"

Wei Qingqiu also followed at this time, frowning as he looked at the shackles on Shaya's ankles:
“This thing.”

Silly girl turned her head to the side, raised her head and looked at Wei Qingqiu, smiling foolishly:

"What a beautiful big sister!"

"You girl."

Chen Xiang patted Sha Ya's head, reached out and broke the two handcuffs, and then shook the handcuffs in front of Sha Ya:

"Silly girl, what's going on?"

Silly girl pouted unhappily:

"I wanted to find the Prime Minister's Cauldron, but they wouldn't let me, so they made me wear this nasty thing!"

Chen Xiang looked gloomy.

"Are you two here to adopt a child?"

A gentle voice sounded, and Chen Xiang looked up, seeing a little old man with gray hair walking out of the orphanage.

The old man looked kind, glanced at the broken handcuffs in Chen Xiang's hand, and said kindly:
"Our Happy Orphanage has suspended the adoption process. Please go back. 4537, come here, come to Grandpa."

A timid look appeared on Sha Ya's face. She hugged Chen Xiang's thigh and hid behind him.

Chen Xiang stared at the old man in front of him:

"Who is your Excellency?"

"I'm the new director of the Happy Orphanage. My surname is Wang, and I just took office this morning." The old man smiled and stretched out his hand.

Chen Xiang did not shake it, but asked:
"Silly girl is my sister, why is she in your hospital? And this, what's going on?"

As he spoke, Chen Xiang raised the broken handcuffs in his hand.

Dean Wang still had a smile on his face:
"Sir, you are joking. Although I have just arrived, I have already taken down the files of all the children. As far as I know, 4537 has no relatives."

After a pause, he said slowly:
"If you still insist that you are 4537's relative, please show me the relevant guardian certificate. Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are related to human traffickers. I will call the police."

Chen Xiang stared into the old man's eyes and spoke word by word:
"Let me ask you again, what are the shackles?"

The smile on Dean Wang's face disappeared:
"4537 is very naughty and likes to run outside, but it is too dangerous outside. We are forced to take this measure out of concern. Sir, please do not suspect that we are abusing children. If we do, we will not let 4537 play in the garden."

After a pause, his eyes became sharp:

"Sir, please identify yourself. I have reason to doubt you."

"He should be here to pick me up."

A calm voice sounded, and the young man with golden and silver eyes sat in a wheelchair, stretched out his hand to turn the wheel, and slowly moved forward:
"If I'm not wrong."

Dean Wang's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment:
"Oh, you are Inspector Chen's brother, right? Inspector Chen just informed us that his brother will come to pick up little Salem."

As he spoke, the dean walked behind the heterochromatic boy and pushed his wheelchair forward:

"Little Salem is actually a child that I have a special affinity with. He was sent here not two minutes after I took office this morning. He is very cute. I hope Mr. Chen can treat him well. He is a good child."

Chen Xiang's expression eased a little, and he nodded in a friendly manner towards Lu Sarah, who nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, as if everything was commonplace.

Then, he said calmly:

"Silly girl, I want to take you away." "No."

Dean Wang rejected it outright, with a serious look on his face and righteous words:
"I am not sure whether Mr. Chen is a good person or a bad person. Since the children have come to the orphanage, I have to be responsible for them. If Mr. Chen insists on taking 4537 away, please come back in five days."

After a pause, he said seriously:

"I need five days to visit some neighbors and make sure that you don't have any problems, Mr. Chen. Please forgive my caution. As I said before, I need to be responsible for the children."

Chen Xiang's expression had calmed down at this time. He stared at Dean Wang for a long while. Could it be that he was wrong?
Dean Wang in front of him seems to be just a stubborn old man.
Just when he was about to nod, suddenly...

"interesting."

A crisp bell-like sound rang out, and Wei Qingqiu took a step forward, grinned, and read into the phone:

"The Happy Orphanage was established in 1515. It is one of the businesses of the underground force Crocodile Gate. In the past three years, it has received 447 orphans, 22 of whom have been adopted. What about the other 425?"

Crocodile Gate?

Crocodile Gate's industry? ?

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, then a hint of coldness appeared on his face and his eyes became dangerous.

Dean Wang still had a smile on his face:
"The other 425 orphans are all in the orphanage, staying well. We provide them with three meals a day, winter coats and summer clothes. They are doing well, but you are not."

After a pause, he smiled and said:

"Miss Wei's information is very accurate."

Chen Xiang and Wei Qingqiu's expressions changed.

"Do you know me?" Wei Qingqiu stared at Dean Wang.
The latter just smiled and answered irrelevantly:
"Miss Wei is also a celebrity. As far as I know, your brother has arrived in the Great City, but it seems that something has happened. If Miss Wei has time to care about my small orphanage, it would be better for her to care about your brother."

Wei Qingqiu stepped forward like a cat with its fur standing on end. His delicate arms tore through the air and went for Dean Wang's throat. He was so fast that Chen Xiang couldn't even see clearly!

She missed it.

Dean Wang kept smiling:

"Miss Wei, don't be angry. Although I don't understand why Dong Hongguo is so arrogant..."

Wei Qingqiu attacked again, this time for real. She sprinkled golden powder from her hands, and the powder burned. Along with forbidden whispers and strange prayers, a faint color emerged from her body!

Dean Wang said gently:

"Don't be impatient."

As the words fell, the faint color on Wei Qingqiu's body went out.

All this happened in just a few breaths.

Chen Xiang looked solemn as he protected Shaya and the child named Lu Sarah who was sitting in a wheelchair behind him.

He kept rubbing the cracked tattoo on his right wrist, and doubts arose in his heart.

Hmm? What is the relationship between Xiao Wei and Donghong Kingdom?
And her brother came to the Great City, and something seemed to have happened?
At the same time, Wei Qingqiu's face showed a strong fear, staring at Dean Wang:
"Are you a follower of the Order of the Silent, the Lord of Night and Silence?"

"No." Dean Wang still smiled.

Wei Qingqiu's expression became even uglier:

"Saint?"

Dean Wang laughed:
"perhaps."

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The old man stood there with a smile on his face, while Wei Qingqiu looked extremely serious.

Chen Xiang was pondering the meaning of "saint", while Sha Ya was sniffing her nose. As for the boy with heterochromatic eyes.
There was no trace of emotion on his face, as if he was used to it.

Accustomed to everything.

A floating car fell from the sky, breaking the icy atmosphere. The vague extraordinary aura of both Wei Qingqiu and Dean Wang disappeared.

"Chen Xiang, right?"

Zhang Zhibao stepped down from the hovercraft and held up a warrant:
"Investigator from the Secret Investigation Department, this is a warrant to assist in the investigation. Will you come with us?"

Chen Xiang nodded, handed the silly girl to Wei Qingqiu, and whispered:

"Take Shaya and Lu Sarah away. This is my brother's phone number."

Wei Qingqiu and Chen Xiang looked at each other with flashing eyes, as if reminding him to pay attention to his own secrets. Then he pushed the boy with heterochromatic eyes, held the silly girl's hand, and strode towards the sky blue sports car.

This time, Dean Wang did not stop him.

When Chen Xiang followed the two investigators onto the hovercraft, he turned around and looked at Dean Wang. Seeing the other person's faint smile, a ball of anger grew in his chest.

The anger burned and rolled from his chest to his eyes. In a trance, Dean Wang felt as if he saw a dark flame.
Lu Salem, who was being pushed away by Wei Qingqiu, suddenly turned around. For the first time, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

The hovercraft soared into the sky.
