The driver who caused the accident has pleaded guilty, and the subsequent punishment and compensation will go through legal procedures.
However, the tragedy has already happened, and everything is irreparable. In addition to Lin Mu, there is another child who lost his parents overnight in the world. Before they reach adulthood, they belong to the orphanage.
Lin Mu asked someone to inquire about the boy's whereabouts, and immediately decided to go there to see for himself.
The dean of the Green Welfare Institute is a 50-year-old foreign nun, dignified and beautiful.When Lin Mu arrived, she was praying in the church, followed by a group of children ranging from 5 to 15 years old.
These children were wearing blue-gray uniforms uniformly issued by the orphanage, and their faces were very similar at first glance. Lin Mu didn't make a sound to disturb them, and sat quietly on the wooden bench in the last row.
A jet-black hair-top moved quietly, nimbly shuttled to Lin Mu's side, it was the boy he rescued.
"Are you here to take me away?" The boy stared at Lin Mu with dark eyes and asked in a low voice.
Lin Mu shook his head lightly, put his index finger to his lips, motioning for him to keep quiet.
But the church was too quiet, and the noise still alarmed the nuns.
She slowly opened her eyes, her blue eyes were as distant and calm as the sea, and when she turned around to see Lin Mu, her expression did not change at all.
"You are not allowed to walk around or play around in the church, Xiaonian, you need to be punished."
The nun's tone was not harsh, but the children lowered their heads in unison.
Lin Mu rubbed the top of Xiaonian's head and said with a light smile, "Don't be afraid, the punishment is just to clean the courtyard."
"Lin." The nun shifted her eyes to him and frowned slightly: "Have you encountered anything recently?"
Lin Mu paused, then slowly withdrew his hand, raised his head to meet the nun's gaze: "Why do you ask such a question?"
"I see in your eyes that the illness is hard to heal." The nun said a prayer with compassion in her eyes.
Lin Mu has long been accustomed to her words and deeds. Seeing this, he dragged Xiao Nian to the courtyard. He is more familiar with this place than any other child. He found a broom of moderate height from behind the door and handed it to Xiao Nian: "Let's get started, remember to be serious."
Xiaonian buried his head and stared at his toes, as if he was angry, and refused to pick it up.
Lin Mu was very patient, and said in a gentle voice: "It's not shameful to accept punishment, but it's shameful to avoid responsibility. I used to clean this place when I was young."
"Some old things can be forgotten as long as they can be forgotten. People can't always indulge in the past." The nun walked down the steps slowly, her eyes clear.
Xiao Nian glanced up at Lin Mu, quickly snatched the broom from his hand, pursed his lips and ran to the door, and began to sweep the floor with unfamiliar movements.
Lin Mu looked away with a smile, turned to look at the nun: "I can't help it, seeing this child is like seeing my former self."
The nun's eyes were clear, she was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you want to adopt him?"
"No." Lin Mu refused with drooping eyes, his whole body covered with sadness: "I'm afraid that a person like me will have a bad influence on him, and it's the best choice to be by your side."
"But you also grew up beside me." The nun tilted her head, her expression seemed to be recalling: "...you were a baby in swaddling at that time, and the orphanage had never accepted such a young child."
Lin Mu raised the corners of his lips, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Do you still remember a friend I brought back when I was 13 years old? Did he come back?"
The nun was slightly startled, and shook her head slightly.
"Forget it, he may have been found by his family, and he forgot to come here." Lin Mu shrugged his shoulders, pretending to smile relaxedly: "I will ask you to take care of Xiaonian, I will visit again when I have time."
"Okay." The nun showed a reassuring smile, and warned: "Be careful on the way back. Recently, the winding mountain road is often under construction."
In the huge conference room, the sparse department managers above their heads are spitting in front of the PPT.
He Yang was far away, listening with a serious face on the surface, but what he flipped in his hand was not the report chart at all, but the contract sent by Assistant Lin Mu.
The font of the signature is sharp and sharp, which is quite different from Lin Mu's previous style.
He suddenly remembered that the assistant said that Lin Mu had gone to the orphanage, and thinking of the child he saw in the hospital that day, he could roughly guess the motive of Lin Mu's behavior.
The department manager's eloquent report was coming to an end, he sorted out the documents and gave He Yang a look of "seeking praise, award, promotion and salary".
However, He Yang's originally calm face suddenly became serious, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his deep eyes were narrowed.
The department manager's heart skipped a beat, scratching the top of his shiny head, and asked with trepidation, "Mr. Shen, what am I wrong?"
He Yang clenched the folder in his hand, threw it on the table, and said vigorously, "This meeting is postponed, let's break up."
"This……"
Everyone was puzzled, they could only watch He Yang walk out of the meeting room aggressively, and slammed the door behind him.
All the changes happened half a minute ago, and the system was clamoring wildly in He Yang's mind.
【warn! ! !The life safety of the target is about to be threatened, please take measures immediately, otherwise the mission will directly fail. 】
"Hello, the number you dialed cannot be connected..."
He Yang put down his mobile phone, his jaw line tensed, and he turned to tell the driver: "Call Lin Mu's assistant, confirm his departure time and route of action, and then send it to me."
"Okay." The driver didn't dare to delay, and immediately stopped to look through the address book.
He Yang directly took the elevator to the underground garage, the lights flashed twice, and then started with a bang.
The system's long-distance positioning is not accurate enough, so he can only drive in a general direction and wait for the driver to send him a specific route.
"Can you detect any security threat to Lin Mu?" He Yang asked in a deep voice.
[Sorry, unable to judge for the time being. 】
The location and incident are unclear, and no one will believe the police.
He Yang frowned, and dialed Lin Mu's number over and over again, but the result was that he couldn't get through.
The WeChat notification sounded, and the driver sent a 30-second voice.
"Mr. Shen, Lin Mu's assistant said that he didn't know the exact route, but the departure time should be three hours ago. There was no one accompanying him. Mr. Lin drove there alone."
He Yang's forearm muscles tensed unconsciously, and his voice became a little colder: "Go check the phone number of the Green Welfare Institute, and send it to me."
The car gradually moved away from the bustling downtown streets and drove towards the semi-suburbs.
There are deserted green belts along the way, and you can't see the edge at a glance. If something happens to Lin Mu, it will be quite troublesome to find it.
The driver was very efficient, and the official phone number of the Green Welfare Institute was sent to He Yang's cell phone within a short while.
What I waited this time was not that I couldn't get through, but a female voice with a slightly weird accent.
"Hello, this is the Green Welfare Institute."
"I'll find Lin Mu and ask him to answer the phone." He Yang held the steering wheel with one hand and stared straight ahead solemnly.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then the female voice asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
"I'm Lin Mu's friend. I have urgent business with him. Is he still in the orphanage?" He Yang restrained his emotions, appearing not so urgent.
The other party hesitated for a moment, and replied: "...Sorry, Mr. Lin did come, but he has already left."
"How long have you been walking?" He Yang asked.
"... About 10 minutes or so."
"Which way did you go?"
"Winding road."
[The Panshan Highway is currently being repaired. Due to the prolonged rainy season this year, it may pose a safety hazard. 】
He Yang hung up the phone and sneered: "I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Why hasn't Lin Mu's position been updated yet?"
[Wait a moment, the system will check again. 】
【Ah this...】
"Is there a bug in your program?" He Yang couldn't help frowning as he stared at the red coordinates that suddenly rushed behind him.
[The system program is running normally, there should be a delay just now. 】
"Oops, something happened to Lin Mu." He Yang squinted his eyes, stepped on the brake, and immediately turned around.
His mind was running fast, from the moment he entered the Panshan Highway, a total of thirteen motor vehicles passed him by.
Among them are three heavy-duty trucks, one earth-moving vehicle of the construction team, and the other nine are calculated according to the driving speed, coordinate moving distance, and system delay time. The most likely one to take Lin Mu away is the white commercial vehicle.
It's a pity that the speed was too fast, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the license plate number.
The cell phone rang suddenly, He Yang had to slow down a little and picked up the cell phone.
"Mr. Shen, the company just received a call from an unknown person." The office secretary said in a flustered voice, "I can't make up my mind, so I can only call your private number."
He Yang seemed to have a feeling in his heart, he frowned and asked, "What did you say on the phone?"
"Green Welfare Institute, just said these five words." The secretary looked up at the driver standing aside, and added: "It seems that there is still wind, and the driver said it was like he usually forgot to close the window while driving."
"Understood." He Yang looked calm, hung up the phone and continued to speed up.
【Why didn't you call the police? 】
He Yang's eyes were cold: "Because the person who started the attack was Shen Yuan, but I don't have any evidence. Even if the police come, Lin Mu will not survive."
【How can you be sure it's him, maybe...】
"The call came to my office at this time. If there was no advance reminder from you, what would I be doing at this moment?"
【in a meeting. 】
"And 90.00% of ordinary kidnapping and extortion cases are for money. He called the company and didn't mention any money. Is it normal?"
[He wants to force you to give Xia Wenke's address! 】
He Yang frowned, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Although this seems to be the most reasonable explanation now, there are still problems with the logic.
First of all, Xia Wenke returned to China. In order to protect Xia Wenke, he disclosed his relationship with Lin Mu. Through this level, Shen Yuan should realize that the person he really cares about is not Lin Mu at all.
Furthermore, Lin Mu has already proposed to break up with him, so the danger and attention should be greatly reduced.
Unless Shen Yuan was desperate and desperate to jump over the wall, he would desperately use Lin Mu's life as the last bargaining chip to threaten him.
But, has it reached that point now?
However, the tragedy has already happened, and everything is irreparable. In addition to Lin Mu, there is another child who lost his parents overnight in the world. Before they reach adulthood, they belong to the orphanage.
Lin Mu asked someone to inquire about the boy's whereabouts, and immediately decided to go there to see for himself.
