Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 97 - 93: Someone Is Watching!

"Mr. Xu, why are you here?"

At some point, Liu Shengjie appeared behind Xu Liang.

He stared at Xu Liang's figure and quietly spoke.

Xu Liang smiled gently.

"I went to the bathroom and then tried to find you all. I ended up wandering around the entire welfare institution but couldn't find you. I thought maybe you were here since this was the only place left."

After speaking.

Xu Liang proactively walked toward Liu Shengjie, speaking as he approached:

"Where did you all go? How come I couldn't find you after a round?"

Hearing this, Liu Shengjie gave Xu Liang a deep look, as if pondering something.

After a long pause, he finally smiled and said:

"We just went to take a look around the nurse's area. It's no surprise that Mr. Xu couldn't find us."

"By the way, Mr. Xu, are you very curious about this abandoned building?"

The question was thrown back to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang casually waved his hand and said, "Not really, just thinking it's quite a waste to have a building left abandoned like this..."

Saying so, he asked again.

"I think the welfare institution's premises should also include this building, right."

"Is Dean Liu not planning to renovate it for further use?"

Liu Shengjie replied:

"The welfare institution can currently accommodate three hundred people, but only a hundred spaces are used, leaving two hundred slots empty."

"Plus, with the tight funds, renovating this building might bankrupt the welfare institution."

After speaking.

Without waiting for Xu Liang to continue questioning, he turned around and started walking away.

"Mr. Xu, you'd better come with me."

"Ms. Yang and Mr. Wang have finished the tour and are waiting for you at the entrance."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang swallowed what he was going to say and showed a smile.

He didn't ask further questions but instead followed the person ahead slowly departing.

Soon enough.

He returned to the main entrance.

Yang Ruoxi and Wang Chao were indeed waiting at the entrance. Noticing Xu Liang approaching, Yang Ruoxi showed a look of skepticism.

But she didn't ask immediately. Instead, she looked at Liu Shengjie and smiled:

"I'm sorry for the trouble this time, Dean Liu."

"When we return to the organization, we will report what we saw. If the donations are approved... we'll contact you immediately!"

Upon hearing this.

Liu Shengjie displayed a bright smile and repeatedly expressed:

"Thank you very much!"

"It's no trouble."

Yang Ruoxi exchanged pleasantries with him.

Then the trio left the welfare institution under the gaze of Liu Shengjie and others and got into the car.

"Vroom~!"

The car engine roared, and soon the vehicle headed into the distance.

Until it disappeared from view...

Liu Shengjie suddenly withdrew his expression, his brows furrowed as he pondered for a long time, then turned around to instruct someone to close the door while taking out his phone.

"Knock knock~"

He dialed a number, and shortly afterward, someone answered.

Liu Shengjie spoke softly into the speaker:

"Boss, three people visited the welfare institution today, and one of them almost entered the 'boiler room'..."

...

...

Three in the afternoon.

Xu Liang drove the car continuously on the highway.

Until he drove into the urban area, stepped on the brakes, and parked the car within the parking lines by the roadside.

"Pop!"

The car door opened.

The three stepped out of the enclosed car, feeling the fresh air, and gradually subdued their anxious hearts.

"Hiss~"

Xu Liang frowned and took a drag on his cigarette, looking up at Wang Chao.

"You guys go first, or should I?"

Who goes first?

The three looked at each other, and finally, Yang Ruoxi took the lead in speaking.

"The welfare institution is missing people!"

Furrowing her brows, Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment before revealing the inconsistencies she observed.

"The welfare institution claims to house 112 people, but in actuality, it isn't the same group of people!"

"When touring the resting area, I found traces of a fifth person recently living in a four-person room, yet couldn't find this person."

"And this is not an isolated case!"

To give an example, there are three of you living in your house, along with your parents.

Now, if another family of three comes and drives you and your parents out and lives there instead, currently the room still holds only three people.

But can you say only three people have ever lived there?

No!

The same goes for the welfare institution. They might have 112 people present now but there definitely have been more at some point!

"Because I couldn't investigate too conspicuously, I don't know exactly how many have disappeared!"

Yang Ruoxi, with her brows tightly knitted, leaned against the car and spoke loudly:

"But there is definitely a problem with the numbers!"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang nodded and then turned towards Wang Chao, "And you?"

The burly Wang Chao scratched his head.

His face showed confusion, hesitating to speak, then deciding to, and finally opened up hesitantly:

"You might not believe this, but I feel like..."

"Sun Miao seems to have been sexually assaulted!"

Sun Miao was sexually assaulted?

Who is Sun Miao?

Yang Ruoxi hesitated momentarily, and upon realizing, she was shocked.

They had only met one Sun Miao.

That being a woman over sixty years old suffering from amnesia at the welfare institution!!!

"Are you sure!?"

Yang Ruoxi was thoroughly shocked, her voice somewhat shrill.

Wang Chao, albeit unsure, nodded and said:

"Although I'm not the best at solving cases, identifying injury reasons is basic training at the police academy."

"Sun Miao's arms have visible bruising and contusions, and there are scratch marks culpably caused by finger nails."

"Additionally, her lower body is positioned awkwardly due to injuries, clearly indicative of sexual assault."

"But..."

But Sun Miao's age made him hesitate.

In 10 sexual assault cases, 9 victims are typically aged between 10 and 40.

Yet, Sun Miao was at least above sixty...

"And there's something else, Qin Jianguo's leg wasn't amputated four years ago but more recently!"

Wang Chao snapped back to reality, immediately divulging another certainty on his part.

"After leg amputation, the body has a hard time adjusting, manifesting in muscle spasms and the like."

"Qin Jianguo's leg was lost no more than six months ago!"

Whereas Liu Shengjie explained it was amputated when brought by the police four years ago...

Looking at it this way.

There certainly seem to be many issues.

Most crucially...

Xu Liang took a deep breath before sharing a piece of information that sent chills down the other two's spines; he inhaled deeply and said:

"Ever since entering the welfare institution, someone in the shadows... has been watching us."

Someone has been watching them from the start!?

Instantly, Yang Ruoxi and Wang Chao were filled with bewilderment, feeling chills running down their spines, and all their hairs stood on edge.

"Are you sure!?"

"Absolutely sure."

Xu Liang nodded, proceeding to explain.

Initially, he didn't notice anything, but after coming out of the bathroom, he sensed something odd.

Subsequently, he led the others around the entire welfare institution circularly.

As for why walking in circles.....

"Since someone is watching from the shadows, there must be something unspeakable going on!"

"I stayed in every area of the welfare institution for a while, without provoking any reaction, until..."

Xu Liang furrowed his brows, recalling the image of that abandoned school.

"I had merely lingered by the abandoned building for less than ten minutes."

"I didn't even enter, yet Liu Shengjie found me that soon!!!"

There's nothing wrong with any part of the welfare institution.

But specifically that abandoned school, merely hinting at wanting to enter it...

Liu Shengjie promptly came to prevent it!

"This building..."

Xu Liang's brows pressed together in a heavy knot, speaking gravely:

"Absolutely suspicious!!!"
