After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 245: Orphanage

"You mean... Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend is your roommate?"

"...Yeah."

Mu Chengsi thought, since Yu Li wanted to be noticed by deva, wouldn’t it be better to just expose her identity outright?

"She usually doesn’t talk much in the dorm. I didn’t interact with her much before either, so I was pretty surprised when I found out."

Hearing that, Yu Jiao sat in the office chair, seemingly deep in thought.

She looked like she was about to say something, but Mu Chengsi spoke first, "Yu Jiao-jie, does that mean we don’t have to care about what Bo Jingmo does anymore?"

Meeting the girl’s gaze across from her, Yu Jiao stayed silent for a moment. Eventually, she closed her eyes and gave a soft "mm."

"Let it go."

Consider it as letting Bo Jingmo off the hook one last time.

They had been controlling Bo Jingmo for years—it was time to let go.

Besides… Bo Jingmo probably wouldn’t have any peaceful days ahead anyway.

Mu Chengsi let out a barely audible sigh of relief.

"Then I don’t have anything else, I’ll head back now."

"Alright, stay safe on the way."

The door closed. Yu Jiao got up and walked to the window.

She looked at her phone in her hand and only dialed after a long pause.

"Beep... beep..."

After two rings, Rong Fan’s voice came through: "Yu Jiao?"

Yu Jiao spoke directly, "Pull our people away from Bo Jingmo."

There was a slight pause on the other end, but he still agreed, "Okay."

Then the two fell silent again.

In the end, Yu Jiao let out a sigh, her voice somewhat weary:

"Rong Fan, if Li Mu really comes back, will you leave deva?"

The fact that Yu Jiao could even ask this question showed her heart was already wavering.

But saying you’ll leave is never that easy.

Not to mention whether Li Mu could actually come back—she had memory issues now.

"Why not just have Li Mu join deva too?"

Rong Fan didn’t answer that question. His tone was hard to read. "deva’s pretty well-known in the instances. If we sincerely invite her, maybe she’ll agree."

"If only it were that easy. Now Xing Yuan and the others all have their eyes on Li Mu," Yu Jiao rubbed her temples, "The task now is to bring Li Mu back first. But the thing is, we don’t even know which instance she’ll appear in."

That woman was an NPC now, and the usual tools they used to track people were useless.

Hearing this, Rong Fan chuckled, his tone light, "If we can’t find her, that’s fine too. Let’s just take care of Bo Jingmo first."

Bo Jingmo was now in a mid-tier instance. There weren’t so many restrictions here.

So not long after, all the deva team members received the same message:

【Attention all members: If you see a player named Bo Jingmo, find a way to eliminate him. Whoever succeeds will receive a Resurrection Card.】

【If you’re worried about losing points for breaking the rules, the organization will offer double compensation.】

...

Meanwhile, after Yu Li and Bo Jingmo picked up the gift, they drove to another location.

The car soon stopped outside an orphanage.

This orphanage was located on the outskirts, a bit far from the city center, but it wasn’t nearly as desolate as one might imagine.

Looking in from outside the surrounding walls, there were lots of pear trees planted inside. Unfortunately, it was the wrong season—the branches were bare. High red-painted walls surrounded the place, with exquisite carvings decorating the surfaces, and a tall clock tower stood right in the center.

And right next to it was a private school, and even a large shopping district. Honestly, it looked more like the city center.

Getting out of the car, Yu Li compared the sign at the gate to her memory. It looked pretty much the same.

Bo Jingmo got the stuff from the car and asked gently, "Is this where you grew up?"

He knew Yu Li was an orphan, but she rarely talked about this part of her life, so it was his first time seeing where she had lived.

Yu Li scratched her chin. She really didn’t know how to answer Bo Jingmo’s question, so she just casually said, "Sort of."

Bo Jingmo didn’t have his memories now, so thinking this was her old home wouldn’t be a problem.

Besides, in her previous life in the real world, she was also an orphan—grew up in orphanages, bounced between foster families.

But her luck was bad. After everything she went through, she ended up in a psychiatric hospital.

Yu Li held the man’s hand, turned and smiled, "Come on, I haven’t been back in ages either. Let’s take a look together."

Bo Jingmo tucked away the emotion in his eyes and gripped her hand tightly. "Okay."

Not long after they went inside, another black sedan slowly pulled up outside the orphanage.

Two men got out of the car, in their thirties or forties, dressed in expensive suits, looking like they’d just come from a meeting.

And in fact, they had.

Qi Cheng’an leaned his arm on the car door, looking up at the sign, and clicked his tongue, "Pretty well-built. It’s been what, five or six years since we were here?"

Xin Hao adjusted his suit. "Something like that. Ever since we left X City, we haven’t really come back. Didn’t expect this place to still be doing so well."

"Why wouldn’t it be? It cost tens of millions to build, after all," Qi Cheng’an said with emotion, "Li Mu really was generous back then, donating all that money to this orphanage. You think she had already decided to leave? So she gave it all here?"

Hearing him bring up the past, Xin Hao paused. "I don’t know either."

He waved a hand. "Come on, let’s check in on the kids before we head back."

Qi Cheng’an shut the car door. "Did you let the director know?"

"No, better to keep it low-key. That way we can really see what’s going on."

Qi Cheng’an stopped in his tracks and glanced down at his outfit, his expression odd.

"You mean... we’re going in low-key, dressed like this?"

Xin Hao: "......"

Yeah, that might be a problem.

...

Yu Li had already informed the director ahead of time, so as soon as they entered, someone came to greet them.

A middle-aged woman with a kind, warm appearance approached. Her hair was pinned up at the back of her head, a few strands of white threaded through the black. She wore a simple black cotton jacket and was even holding some kids’ toys in her hands—looked like she’d just come from somewhere else in a rush.

She smiled and called out, "Yu Li."

Yu Li had been looking down at her phone. She looked up at the sound, thought of the name in her memory, and smiled as she responded, "Aunt He."

A big scarf covered half of the girl’s face, leaving only her beautiful, smiling fox-like eyes visible.

Seeing those familiar eyes, He Gui was briefly stunned. Then she smiled and answered back, her gaze falling on Bo Jingmo beside her. "And this is...?"

The man before her was handsome. He Gui had seen all kinds of people at the orphanage over the years and could instantly sense that this one wasn’t ordinary.

Her eyes dropped lower, and seeing their tightly held hands, she vaguely guessed the truth.

Sure enough, Yu Li curved her eyes into a smile and said, "This is my boyfriend, Bo Jingmo."

Bo Jingmo also gave a polite smile, his deep voice warm and rich: "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, nice to meet you."

He Gui kept a calm face, but inside, she was stunned.

Wow, she never would’ve thought—Yu Li, that quiet girl who rarely talked, sure picked a boyfriend like a bombshell announcement.
