Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 181 - 154: Hope Light Orphanage

Hope Light Orphanage.

Isn’t this the one they saw at the mall the day before, in the most prominent hall on the first floor, asking for donations?

Could the murderer be here?

While he was pondering, Mu Yunchu was already greeting the person approaching them.

She looked much younger than in the photo.

If Wen Xu hadn’t seen her introduction in advance, he absolutely wouldn’t believe that the woman in front of him was forty years old.

She is the director of this orphanage, Zhao Fang.

Wen Xu’s mind flashed with this person’s name.

"It’s so wonderful that you’ve come here, the kids and I have been eagerly looking forward to it."

"The journey must have been tiring, come on, let’s get in the car first and then we can talk."

Zhao Fang was very enthusiastic, ever since she met Mu Yunchu and the others, the smile on her lips hadn’t faded. She seemed genuinely happy about their arrival.

After saying this, she intended for a burly man beside her to take the bags from them.

But Mu Yunchu cleverly dodged.

"No problem." She held onto what appeared to be a not-so-small bag with a faint smile on her face, "I can carry this myself."

Then she gestured behind Wen Xu.

There was a black suitcase at that moment.

The man hesitated.

He seemed unwilling.

But after Zhao Fang gave him a smiling glance, he hurriedly went to pick up the luggage.

"Sorry, you two, my driver is a bit slow-witted."

Mu Yunchu returned the smile.

She didn’t expose the charade between the two.

Then followed them onto a van.

On the way, Mu Yunchu introduced them, saying Wen Xu is her fiancé. The two plan to marry and wish to adopt a child before the wedding.

Additionally, as a token of thanks, they also intended to donate half a million yuan to the orphanage.

When Mu Yunchu expressed her desire to adopt, Zhao Fang’s expression didn’t change much.

But when she mentioned planning to donate, Zhao Fang’s eyes noticeably lit up.

However, it was fleeting, and she turned to show concern for them.

"Though it might seem forward, you know, I treat the kids in the orphanage as my own, and as per procedures and background checks, there are some questions I must ask."

Even before reaching the orphanage, she seemed eager.

Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu exchanged glances, both displaying a pleasantly mild demeanor.

"Of course."

Zhao Fang asked, "Can I ask why you two want to adopt? Will you have your own children later?"

Mu Yunchu responded truthfully, "Probably not."

At that, Wen Xu sensed that the others’ gazes towards him were a bit odd.

Wen Xu: "..."

Yet he wasn’t angry.

He understood everything between them was just an act.

And from certain angles, this wasn’t exactly a lie.

There was simply no way for the two of them to have a child.

Next, Zhao Fang asked a few more ordinary questions.

Finally, she calmly asked, "What’s your annual income approximately?"

Fearing a misunderstanding, she added, "Of course, I’m not saying those without money can’t adopt, but it needs to meet the minimum standard to ensure you can provide a better life for the child."

This orphanage is also known online for its particularly strict adoption procedures.

This results in successful adoptions being few each year.

Also a major cause of the orphanage’s financial strain.

Mu Yunchu casually gave a number and observed Zhao Fang’s expression, finding her not too surprised. This led her to suspect that Zhao Fang might have already looked up her information on a platform.

But later, she probed a bit more and discovered Zhao Fang didn’t know about her job as a fortune-telling streamer on the platform.

Rather, Zhao Fang seemed more interested in Wen Xu.

"Mr. Wen looks familiar."

Wen Xu only needed to pretend to be Mu Yunchu’s fiancé, showing no need for patience towards them.

So, when Zhao Fang made small talk, he simply answered blankly, "Maybe I just have a common face."

"Ah, hehe..." Zhao Fang let out a few dry laughs.

Beside him, Li Shang couldn’t help but internally comment, "Then the average good looks of this common face are quite high."

Mu Yunchu’s lips subtly curved upward.

Li Shang’s words probably couldn’t be heard by anyone else apart from herself.

Not even Wen Xu, who sat closest.

However, from her peripheral vision, she noticed the burly driver glancing in her direction from the rear-view mirror.

It didn’t seem like he was looking at her, more like he was searching for something, but unable to find it, he quickly withdrew his gaze in confusion after a few seconds.

Mu Yunchu’s eyes flickered with suspicion, her brows furrowing briefly before relaxing again, forming several speculations in her heart.

...

Located on the northern side of the country’s map, as soon as they got off the plane, they felt the harsh winter that was quite different from Qinghe.

The wind was so cold that it stung their faces.

Upon reaching the orphanage, Mu Yunchu noticed another difference from Qinghe — it got dark very early here.

It was barely past seven, and the streets were already silent, with only the storefronts of eateries lit up, and the occasional pedestrian hurrying along.

"It’s a bit late today; you must be exhausted after such a long flight. Why not rest well tonight and meet the children tomorrow?"

Because Mu Yunchu mentioned wanting to spend a couple of days with the children to choose the one she was most drawn to, one who would suit her temperament, she wasn’t in a rush to leave.

Further, she originally came to the orphanage to find someone, so naturally, the longer she stayed before achieving her goal, the better.

Once everyone left, only Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu remained in the room.

The latter first checked the room based on past experience, finding no hidden cameras or recording devices, before feeling assured to speak.

"Who is the murderer? Is it the driver or the director?"

He asked because, through the recent interactions, both individuals left him with a suspicious impression.

"And what about the missing little boy... is he here now?"

Facing Wen Xu’s questions, Mu Yunchu slowly shook her head.

It wasn’t because she was intentionally keeping him in suspense.

But because, "I can’t calculate it."

"Even you can’t figure it out?" Wen Xu’s eyebrows slightly raised in subtle surprise, but he quickly returned to his usual indifference.

He hadn’t even noticed the significant shift in his attitude towards Mu Yunchu, from initial disdain to current trust.

Mu Yunchu mentioned that someone with similar cultivation had likely set up restrictions here, so she could only deduce that Zhu Wu was brought nearby.

But beyond that, where he currently was and what happened remained unknown for the time being.

Wen Xu also quickly regained composure.

"So we’ll have to find clues ourselves from now on."
