The old woman didn't seem to understand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hunters? Oh, you mean those who go outside the city to hunt ferocious beasts?"

"Then I recommend that you adopt a few more children and form a team to go outside the city to get better results."

Although the old woman said this, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

‘Sure enough, this orphanage knows the inside story! ’

Lu Man caught this scene and smiled slightly, "I understand, but currently I only have enough silver coins to adopt two children, so let's take them." After saying that, Lu Man casually identified the two children.

"Ahem, take him to register. Lisa, go and send the children back to the room." The old woman coughed lightly.

Immediately, a woman led Lu Man to register, and the children were sent to the room. The remaining young woman stood beside the old woman without making any movement.

When Lu Mann left the room, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

She had a gloomy face, and the smile on her face had long since disappeared. The layers of wrinkles were stacked together, and there was actually a hint of terror.

"I remember that people came and asked similar questions a few years ago. There was really no end to it!"

The old man's hoarse and sharp voice echoed in the room.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Lily, go clear out all the accumulated inventory! You know what to do."

After hesitating for a moment, the old woman continued: "Lina, go to that big shot's house now and tell him that we have suspended shipments in the near future."

Several young women around her did not dare to look directly into the old woman's eyes. They lowered their heads and said respectfully, "Yes, grandma."

The long road passed through the dark corridor and stopped in front of a door.

The woman leading the way smiled slightly and said, "My name is Lili. Please wait a moment while I get you the registration book."

Lu Man took advantage of Lili's opening and closing of the door and quickly glanced into the room. There were rows of shelves in the room...

Soon, Lili came out with the registration book.

"Please write your name here, followed by the name of the reserved child. We guarantee that the child you reserved will not be taken away by others first. Two children, a total of twenty silver coins."

Lu Mann touched his pocket and found that after paying the amount, the fat man had very few silver coins left for him.

After Lili got the money, she seemed very happy and insisted on sending Lu Man away. Lu Mann understood that this was not really polite, but was worried about him breaking into other rooms.

It wasn't until she sent Lu Man out of the gate, saw him disappearing in the distance, and made sure the iron door was locked that Lili left in a hurry.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Man's figure appeared at the door of the orphanage again. Naturally, he would not really leave.

After making sure no one was around, Lu Man tiptoed over the railing.

The railing with the bell might have some effect on preventing ordinary people, but for Lu Mann, it was a piece of cake.

The reason why he did not choose to infiltrate secretly before was because he was not familiar with the internal structure of the orphanage.

During the first visit, Lu Mann found out where the orphanage's registration book was kept. This secret infiltration was just to look through those registers!

When one register is used up, a new one will be replaced. Normally, those full registers will be managed together. The wooden frame Lu Mann saw just confirmed this conjecture.

Quietly, Lu Mann had arrived at the room, and Lili was nowhere to be found at this time.

'If I had been at this orphanage as a child, my name would have been on the register! ’

Lu Man looked at the rows of dusty registration books and smiled bitterly. ‘This is a big project. ’

Lu Man took out the registers and browsed them quickly.

When he opened the tenth registration book, Lu Mann suddenly realized something: the number of children adopted in the registration book was inconsistent with the number of children accepted by the orphanage!

A rough calculation shows that nearly half of the children were not registered and seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

‘Sure enough, that old lady didn’t tell the truth! There are unclaimed children here, and they are not alone! ’

'But where did all those children end up? ’

At this time, a name on the register caught Lu Mann's attention.

Daultey.

Daulty is different from other adopters in that he does not adopt children, but he will donate a large amount of money. They appear every once in a while, and each time they only give money but don't adopt children.

And each donation is close to hundreds of silver coins, which is unreasonable.

‘Those unclaimed children were probably purchased by him in large quantities, otherwise he would have no reason to donate here! ’

Lu Man secretly guessed, while keeping the name in mind.

"Bata Bata"

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the corridor.

Lu Mann quickly put the register back to its original place, and at the same time did not forget to sprinkle a layer of dust on it and blow it evenly.

After doing all this, Lu Man climbed out of the window.

——————

By the time Lu Man returned to the hotel, Fatty had already returned first.

The fat man had no expression on his face and sat slumped on the ground. Seeing Lu Man come in, he just looked up indifferently and continued to be in a daze.

"They decided not to accept the case. Graystone Town was not punished in any way. My townspeople died in vain..." Fatty said calmly, so calm that you couldn't hear his sorrow and joy at all!

Lu Mann was about to speak, but the fat man stopped him.

"You don't have to help me. You save me once. I'm very grateful myself."

The fat man lowered his head and said, "You should have other things to do, so don't worry about me."

"I have decided. I will try to appeal again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, I will kill Doherty!"

"It's better for you to stay away from me. We won't meet again in the future."

Lu Mann was stunned when he heard this, "What did you say?"

The fat man whispered: "This is for your own good, we don't want to meet again."

Lu Man said excitedly: "No, it's Dao Ertai! Do you know him?"

One moment, Lu Man was still thinking about how to find Daultai. He even considered using the Security Bureau to investigate Daultai again. Unexpectedly, he heard this name from the fat man the next moment.

The fat man said with a confused look on his face: "Are you investigating him? Dao Ertai is the person in charge of the local security chiefs and is considered a big shot in Yiyanju City."

Lu Mann knew clearly, 'I'm afraid it's him! It is difficult for ordinary people to donate a huge sum of money every time. Only people in high positions can do it! ’

"Are you investigating Daltai?" The fat man suddenly became happy and hurriedly stood up.

"So be it."

Lu Man nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you to meet this Dao Ertai."

Hearing this, the fat man's face gradually became brighter. The scene when Lu Man saved him from the shooting was something he would never forget in his life.

"With you by my side, I feel more at ease." The fat man showed a long-lost smile.

"Now, tell me about Doertai."

Lu Man added: "The more detailed, the better."

The fat man was a little confused and whispered: "I'm not here usually, and I don't know the details."

"The Doertai I know is the person in charge of the local security chiefs. He should be sixty years old, but he looks like a forty-year-old."

"Oh, by the way, Daoertai seems to have never stepped out of Yiyanju City."

After hearing the fat man's description, Lu Man frowned.

‘Didn’t you take a step outside the city? So where did those kids go? ’
