Chapter 1959

Zhao Changlin obviously had the urge to slap Zhao Junbo to death.

If one slap can't relieve the hatred in the heart, then two slaps, if two slaps are not enough, then three slaps.

At first, when Zhao Changlin made a direct move, Lu Weiwei went up to stop her, but was stopped by Police Officer Wang.

Obviously, Comrade Wang also wanted to slap Zhao Junbo on the face, but he did it himself.

But as a police officer, Officer Wang would not do such an unprofessional thing.

However, if Zhao Changlin is allowed to take action, it seems to be the case.

So Police Officer Wang subconsciously stopped Lu Weiwei and winked at Lu Weiwei.

Of course, Lu Weiwei understood the meaning of Police Officer Wang in seconds, so when Zhao Changlin slapped her, Lu Weiwei pretended to be at a loss on the surface, but in fact she didn't stop her.

Seeing that Zhao Changlin had already slapped three times in a row, and that Zhao Junbo's left cheek was obviously out of proportion to his right cheek at this moment, Gu Chen quickly stopped it.

It felt like Zhao Changlin's three slaps made him angry. Of course, objectively, Zhao Changlin's pent-up anger could also be temporarily released.

"Officer Gu, don't stop me, I will kill this bastard today..."

Being stopped in front of Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin was still relentless.

But while Gu Chen prevented Zhao Changlin from approaching, he waved his hand and asked Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei to quickly bring Zhao Junbo back to the police station.

Waiting for directors Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia to come to the front, Gu Chen then handed Zhao Changlin to the two, and followed the team's footsteps and walked directly to the director's office.

Same environment, same police.

At this moment, looking at the environment he came here last time, Zhao Junbo felt mixed feelings.

Last time, I was able to use my cunning to play tricks in front of the police.

But this time is different. This time, the police have caught their own hands. Now Zhao Junbo can't argue with it, and it is very difficult to have a chance to escape.

Therefore, those things explained in the blueberry base are also Zhao Junbo's last efforts to make himself die well.

Zhao Junbo is a smart man, he knows that this time he is a complete loser.

Gu Chen turned on the computer and began to sort out the situation that Zhao Junbo explained.

Gu Chen's typing speed is very fast, and he personally participated in the interrogation work, so after a while, the printer hummed the sound of work.

Lu Weiwei paused for the printed interrogation materials, and after finishing binding them with a binding machine, she walked up to Zhao Junbo and handed over the documents and a pen: "Let's sign it."

Zhao Junbo picked up the writing pen on the table, his eyes were dull, and after signing his name, he suddenly lay down on the table and cried loudly.

Police officer Wang also said in a bad mood: "I said Zhao Junbo, why did you know this before? My old Wang also knows that you are a miserable person, but this is not an excuse for you to kill someone."

"At the very least, you probably wouldn't be able to live in this world at all. It was Vice President Liu of the Haitian Welfare Institute who gave you a chance to live again."

"You think you are suffering, but there are many people who suffer more than you. Those children who are not adopted, or even children with congenital disabilities, they are more miserable than you."

"You could get a good family and live on from now on, but you want too much. You want a career, and you want your godfather's love. You don't even want someone to compete with you for Zhao Changlin's love."

"In the end, your inner world has long since become dilapidated, and even Vice President Liu can't stop it from happening."

"Will I be sentenced to death?" As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Zhao Changlin suddenly raised his head and asked, and his tone of voice became serious.

Police officer Wang did not answer directly, but said vaguely: "This will be handed over to the court for judgment. You are so smart, you should know how you will be punished when you killed those people."

"You think you're hiding it well, but you don't know that people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Your little cleverness will eventually make you somersault."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, all of this is my fault." Faced with Police Officer Wang's accusation, Zhao Junbo lay down on the table and said in tears:

"It would have been nice if I had been arrested at the beginning, so that my family would not be hurt, but now, my child is still very young, and my career has just entered its 30s, and just a while ago, my godfather Zhao Changlin even talked to me personally. Said, in the future, the entire Ouhuang Furniture Factory will be handed over to me."

"He planned to retire to the second line with my godmother, travel around, and spend his old age peacefully, but now, everything can't go back."

Seeing Zhao Junbo crying, Lu Weiwei also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Zhao Junbo, Zhao Junbo, you say you... If you could bear it back then, you can bear it a little longer. Another village."

"Your experiences from childhood have indeed hurt you, but you have to know that this is not a reason for you to kill people. Others have the right to live, and you have no right to deprive them of their lives."

"But what's the use of talking about it now?" Zhao Junbo shook his head, looking very frustrated.

Gu Chen walked up to him and said meaningfully: "Zhao Junbo, let me ask you, you have been in Wangchao Town for so many years, have you noticed that someone in Wangchao Town is illegally buying prohibited drugs?"

Also being reminded by Gu Chen, Zhao Junbo suddenly looked up at Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you have stayed in Wangchao Town for so many years, so you should be particularly impressed by the troubles in Wangchao Town. Do you know, is there anyone in Wangchao Town who has been colluding with certain groups from other places? , trading illegal drugs?"

Gu Chen made such an analogy, but in fact Zhao Junbo understood, he knew what the contraband Gu Chen was referring to?

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Junbo nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "I know something."

"You know?" Officer Wang was busy investigating the case 15 years ago, but ignored the relationship with the mysterious man in Wangchao Town.

But now, after being reminded by Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized.

On the side, Yuan Shasha also hurriedly asked: "Then tell me, who is there?"

"This..." After a few seconds of thought, Zhao Junbo suddenly raised his head and made a deal with Gu Chen:

"Officer Gu, I have a request."

"Tell me." Seeing that Zhao Junbo had this idea, Gu Chen asked him to express his request.

Zhao Junbo nodded silently, and said in a heavy tone: "Before I am taken away, I want to go to the Haitian Welfare Institute and have a look at Director Liu Shufen."

"After all, she picked me up and brought me up. I have always regarded her as my relative, but I never want to go back to the past."

"So, these years, I can only donate to the orphanage silently and anonymously, but I dare not go back and face them."

"Then you dare now?" Lu Weiwei also asked him back.

Zhao Junbo snorted and said helplessly, "Now, anyway, I know my end. If I don't go to Haitian Welfare Institute now, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in the future."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Junbo begged Gu Chen in an almost pleading tone: "Officer Gu, I know, you are the captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch."

"I beg you, before you take me away, please let me go to the Haitian Welfare Institute, let me go and see Dean Liu Shufen, please."

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the colleagues around him.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Gu Chen nodded slightly: "If you tell me the suspects involved in the contraband trade in Wangchao Town, I can think about it."

"Thank you, but there is one more request." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhao Junbo immediately made a new request.

When Lu Weiwei heard it, she immediately said, "Hey, I said Zhao Junbo, we have already promised you to go alone, but you still have to make progress?"

"No, no." Zhao Junbo shook his head fiercely, and said pleadingly, "If I was blatantly taken to Haitian Welfare Institute by your police, then Dean Liu Shufen will be heartbroken."

"She is old and in poor health. She is still busy with Haitian Orphanage every day, dealing with various affairs. I don't want to let her down. I just want to see her for the last time."

Sucking his nose, Zhao Junbo choked up and continued: "So, I ask you not to tell her the truth, just say that you found me. After the exchange, I suddenly wanted to visit her, so I said I was going to another place, maybe Staying for a long time, so before parting, it's like seeing her again, okay?"

At this moment, Zhao Junbo was communicating with Gu Chen and the others almost in a very low tone.

In principle, Gu Chen doesn't need to agree to this request, but Zhao Junbo is an orphan, and he was brought up by Liu Shufen, the principal of Haitian Welfare Institute.

The current Dean Liu Shufen is also gradually entering her twilight stage, and she doesn't know how long she can live.

Therefore, Gu Chen feels that Zhao Junbo's request can be satisfied.

But at the same time, Gu Chen is also very clear about Zhao Junbo's character.

Killing so many innocent people in a row, even when he learned of the existence of witnesses, Zhao Junbo thought about getting rid of them in the blueberry base and then quickly.

Such a cold-blooded and ruthless guy suddenly made this request to you. Obviously, this request seems reasonable, but it is full of danger.

Because judging from the current situation, Zhao Junbo is a murderer, and he is an extremely brutal kind.

And what kind of place is Haitian Welfare Institute? It is a place to adopt those orphans and the disadvantaged.

Once Zhao Junbo had his own ideas, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to the Haitian Welfare Institute and took the opportunity to escape.

In this environment, there will be many uncertainties.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration of Zhao Junbo's request, Gu Chen still politely refused: "It's not appropriate, I can convey your thoughts and tell Dean Liu Shufen that you have an anonymous account and have been sending money to the orphanage .”

"Officer Gu, I beg you." Seeing Gu Chen's refusal, Zhao Junbo burst into tears at the moment, and said in frustration:

"My godfather hates me now, I know, he will never forgive me, and my child, my lover, and my godmother don't know the situation now."

"The relationship between them has always been good. I think, even if I go in and never come out again, what will they do to my family?"

"But now, my only regret is that I can no longer send money to the Haitian Welfare Institute. I...I want to put an end to this matter."

With a choking tone, Zhao Junbo looked at Gu Chen, and begged again and again: "Officer Gu, I beg you to agree to my request. As long as you agree to me, I will tell you who the person you are looking for is ?”

"No, we can let you watch Dean Liu Shufen in Haitian Welfare Institute outside, but you can't go in." Gu Chen still insisted.

But Police Officer Wang, who was in a hurry to handle the contraband case, was in a hurry.

After all, Zhao Guozhi has issued a military order, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.

Although Zhao Guozhi didn't say anything about it, everyone knew in his heart that he alone undertook all the pressure from Qin Gang's side.

But now, Zhao Junbo knows some relevant clues. If Zhao Junbo confesses, it will provide a very important window for everyone to handle the case.

But now that the arrow is on the line, Gu Chen has rejected Zhao Junbo's request to go back to the orphanage and contact Liu Shufen.

What Gu Chen meant was to let Zhao Junbo observe Liu Shufen through the fence under the guard of the police, but he was not allowed to contact the insiders of the orphanage.

This request is the best result for both parties.

But Zhao Junbo proposed to enter the Haitian Welfare Institute.

Let such a dangerous person enter the Haitian Welfare Institute where there are many vulnerable groups. Once Zhao Junbo has dangerous thoughts, it is irresponsible to everyone in the Haitian Welfare Institute.

Therefore, after weighing it, Gu Chen will have some scruples.

But Police Officer Wang was very anxious at the moment, he hurried to Gu Chen's side, pulled Gu Chen to a corner on one side, and reminded in a low voice:

"Gu Chen, what time is it now? I can't wait to see you."

"Have you forgotten the real purpose of our original visit to Wangchao Town?"

"I haven't forgotten." Gu Chen said.

"That's it." Police Officer Wang also took a long breath, trying to calm down, and then said:

"How much pressure does Bureau Zhao have to bear every day? Don't you know?"

"Ju Zhao is just a doormat. No matter how others criticize him, especially the accusations from Bureau Qin, he will never reveal his negative emotions to us subordinates, and he will not even put pressure on us from above."

"Such a good leader, can't we share his worries?"

"Senior Brother Wang, I understand the truth, but..." Gu Chen paused, turned his head to look at Zhao Junbo behind him, and then turned his head and whispered:

"However, letting a dangerous person like Zhao Junbo go to a place like the Haitian Welfare Institute is very risky. Let him stay outside and take a look. But once he enters the Haitian Welfare Institute and something happens, we But it's a big responsibility."

"Gu Chen, when did you become so timid?" After hearing Gu Chen's own explanation, Police Officer Wang said with a little disappointment:

"How about this, we personally escorted Zhao Junbo to the Haitian Orphanage, dressed in plain clothes, and didn't handcuff him, but we must follow him throughout the whole process, and we must not let him have a chance to escape."

After a pause, Police Officer Wang said again: "Leave this to me, and I will bear all the responsibilities. This will satisfy Zhao Junbo's last request."

Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang immediately understood the reason: "After all, he is an orphan. After all these years, going to see Dean Liu Shufen for the last time is considered filial piety."

"Even if he is a murderer, he should be given this chance, you see..."

"Since Senior Brother Wang said so, it's fine." Gu Chen knew that this kind of behavior was very dangerous.

But thinking that Zhao Guozhi would have to face the pressure from Qin Gang of the Municipal Bureau every day, and the investigation of the mysterious person in Wangchao Town was imminent, so Gu Chen had no choice but to make a compromise.

Officer Wang immediately snapped his fingers, and said with relief, "Isn't that enough?"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Junbo, Police Officer Wang walked up to him and said, "Zhao Junbo, we agree to your request, but now you must tell the truth, who is that mysterious person in Wangchao Town? Is it one person? Or a group of people? "

"Officer Wang, as I said, after I meet Dean Liu Shufen tomorrow and fulfill my last wish, I will confess."

"Hey!" Hearing Zhao Junbo's words, Police Officer Wang, who was a little lucky just now, immediately exploded and said:

"I said Zhao Junbo, don't push yourself too hard, we have already agreed to your request, and you are still negotiating conditions with me."

"Officer Wang." Looking up at Police Officer Wang, Zhao Junbo also choked up and said, "I know, this request embarrasses your police, but I won't say anything until I meet Dean Liu Shufen."

"But please rest assured, if you meet my last condition, I will unconditionally confess everything I know, I promise, I swear."

Faced with Police Officer Wang's anger, Zhao Junbo also firmly expressed his position.

Officer Wang was so angry that his liver ached, but he knew that Zhao Junbo was very cunning, and he knew that this was the weakness of the current police.

And in his hand, he currently has important clues that the police need.

Therefore, Zhao Junbo wanted to use this to make a deal with the police, that is, let him go back to the Haitian Welfare Institute to meet the director Liu Shufen who hadn't seen him for many years.

...

...

next morning.

sunny.

According to the agreement, Gu Chen called Liu Shufen, the director of Haitian Welfare Institute early in the morning, and introduced to him the specific situation that Zhao Junbo wanted to come back to see.

When Liu Shufen learned that Zhao Junbo was coming to the Haitian Welfare Institute, she agreed very readily. After all, the child she picked up by herself back then has been so quietly lost for nearly 20 years.

Liu Shufen missed the children she raised in the orphanage very much, so she was quite happy.

Afterwards, Gu Chen communicated briefly with Dean Liu Shufen on the phone and told Liu Shufen that there was an anonymous account these years, and every year they sent money to Haitian Welfare Institute. In fact, Zhao Junbo was the one who sent the money behind the scenes.

Moreover, Gu Chen made up an excuse for Liu Shufen that Zhao Junbo was about to go abroad to work, and it was also to pave the way for Zhao Junbo to return to the Haitian Welfare Institute, so that Zhao Junbo's sudden return would not appear so abrupt.

After completing the preliminary communication, it was already 7:20 in the morning.

All the people who were having breakfast at the Wangchao Town Police Station all looked at Zhao Junbo in unison.

Zhao Junbo had no appetite at this time, Gu Chen even asked Zhang Wenxia to bring a new set of clothes from the room at Zhao Junbo's house, so that Zhao Junbo looked decent.

It was also after drinking the last sip of milk that Officer Wang, who couldn't wait, reminded Zhao Junbo: "Zhao Junbo, have you finished eating yet?"

"Oh, we've finished eating." Zhao Junbo quickly stuffed the last bun into his mouth after hearing that.

"Hurry up and leave after eating. After meeting Dean Liu Shufen, you should explain to me honestly."

"If there is any concealment, or if you don't know who this mysterious person in Wangchao Town is at all, then you know the consequences, and you are adding to the crime."

"I know." Facing Police Officer Wang's warning, Zhao Junbo nodded slightly, and replied affirmatively, "You asked me to meet with Dean Liu Shufen. After the meeting, I promise to satisfy you."

Although Zhao Junbo's words sounded weird, Police Officer Wang urged, "Let's go now."

The vehicle departed from Wangchao Town, this time everyone drove an ordinary car.

All are in casual clothes.

But for the sake of safety, everyone is carrying a carry-on bag, and inside the bag are all kinds of police equipment.

As long as Zhao Junbo dares to make trouble in the Haitian Welfare Institute, Gu Chen and the others can use the police equipment in the satchel to subdue him on the spot.

Although all plans are well arranged, all kinds of unstable factors still exist.

Gu Chen has been in contact with such scumbags a lot, so he naturally knows the cunning of these people.

Therefore, keeping an eye out is a must.

Most of the time, Gu Chen can't completely believe these people's nonsense. There are many criminals who play the emotional card here.

Some are sincerely repentant, but some are utterly unrepentant.

Therefore, Gu Chen needs to have his own attitude.

...

...

8:30 am.

The gate of Haitian Welfare Institute.

Gu Chen parked the car in the parking space opposite the entrance of the orphanage, then looked at the people in the car, and reminded, "We're here, get out of the car."

Everyone got out of the car together.

On the other hand, Zhao Junbo was surrounded on both sides by Yuan Shasha, the police officer Wang.

Before getting out of the car, Police Officer Wang released Zhao Junbo's handcuffs, and also warned:

"Zhao Junbo, I hope you can take care of yourself and don't make trouble for us."

"I know." Zhao Junbo nodded slightly, and said sincerely, "I will definitely not cause trouble for you."

"Go in." Officer Wang said.

Zhao Junbo nodded slightly, and then, surrounded by four people, walked slowly towards Haitian Welfare Institute.

It was the same old doorman who seemed to be not very energetic early in the morning and dozed off.

Since everyone did not drive into the Haitian Welfare Institute this time, it was also to avoid being discovered by everyone in the Haitian Welfare Institute, so this time they did not need to use the driveway, and everyone came directly to the small iron gate.

Lu Weiwei also politely knocked on the window three times.

However, the old man in the security room seemed to be still dozing off, and Lu Weiwei was upset, and shouted again: "Master, open the door."

"Ah?" The doorman, who was overwhelmed, couldn't help being stunned, and quickly nodded to confirm: "Medium!"

The door lock popped open, and Gu Chen walked in first.

Then came Zhao Junbo, followed by Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were almost inseparable.

Since he came here once, Gu Chen knew Liu Shufen's office.

So he took everyone and walked directly upstairs.

When passing the playground of the orphanage, seeing the children of the orphanage doing morning exercises with the staff, Zhao Junbo's nose felt sore, and a few drops of tears burst out of his eyes instantly.

When he came to the door of the dean's office, Gu Chen knocked on the door three times and found that the door was unlocked.

Through the gap in the door, Gu Chen saw Liu Shufen combing her hair, as if she was also meticulously putting on her makeup.

Hearing the movement of the office door, Liu Shufen looked up and saw that Gu Chen was already standing at the door.

"Oh, Officer Gu, you guys are really early." Seeing this, the white-haired Liu Shufen quickly put the comb and mirror into the drawer, then straightened her clothes and stood up to welcome her.

"Dean Liu, let's see who this is?" Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and the extra nonsense was also communicated on the phone.

Therefore, Gu Chen cut straight to the point and offered to give up a seat.

At this moment, Zhao Junbo, who looked haggard, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and calmed down his mood. Then he walked up to Liu Shufen and said, "Mother Liu."

"Zhao...Zhao Junbo? Is it really you? Zhao Junbo?" Also looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Liu Shufen was stunned for a few seconds. Zhao Junbo's appearance.

Zhao Junbo grinned, and also teased himself: "I am the one. Zhao Junbo was adopted twice and returned by the adoptive family twice. Mama Liu, you...you are old and your hair has turned white."

Speaking of this, Zhao Junbo's nose was sore, and tears dripped down on the ground uncontrollably.

Liu Shufen was stunned for a few seconds, then wiped the excited tears from the corners of her eyes, held Zhao Junbo's arm with a forced smile, and said with a sob:

"You child, you haven't come to visit your mother Liu for so many years. Look at me, my hair has turned white like this for so many years. I'm old and I won't live for a few years."

Trying to wipe away her tears, Liu Shufen also patted Zhao Junbo's arm, and complained a little: "You say you send so much money anonymously to our orphanage every year, but why don't you come back and take a look?"

"Hehe." Hearing Liu Shufen's remarks, Zhao Junbo laughed dryly, and said with a sigh:

"I didn't mix well, so I dare not come to see you."

"Look at what you said." Liu Shufen smiled wryly.

Seeing that everyone was standing there, she hurriedly greeted them: "Don't stand still, all of you, hurry up, sit down, and I'll make tea for you."

"No need for Dean Liu, just drink some boiled water, no need to make tea." Lu Weiwei said.

But Liu Shufen refused to listen, and insisted on taking out the best tea leaves in her collection, and started to make tea for several people.

All sitting on old couches in this old office.

Liu Shufen and Zhao Junbo were sitting together, holding hands, neither seemed willing to let go of each other.

Liu Shufen also complained and said: "You said you child, if you don't do well, you won't come back? This is your home. You came out of our Haitian Welfare Institute. Is it important whether you are good or not? It doesn't matter. "

"Although we Haitian Welfare Institute has also gone out to a few college students who graduated from prestigious schools, but not everyone can become such a character."

"Even if they don't study well, some people will become entrepreneurs. Even if they are not entrepreneurs, it is more important than anything else to be able to live well and live happily."

At the end of the talk, Liu Shufen suddenly lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Junbo quickly patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Mother Liu, don't cry."

"Can you stop crying? It's been almost 20 years since you left the Haitian Orphanage. Where have you been for these 20 years?"

"Other children who have gone out will come back to visit every Chinese New Year, but I am looking forward to it, but I can't look forward to your appearance."

Sucking her nose, Liu Shufen also choked up and said, "I thought you got lost? I don't even know where you are?"

"I want to contact you, but you also changed your phone number, I..."

"I know." Zhao Junbo patted the back of Liu Shufen's hand, choked up and said:

"In these years, I have been working as an apprentice in other places, learning skills from the master, and I have also made a name for myself."

"However, I am very busy at work every year, so I have been unable to get away. No, this time the company will send me to a far away place again, this time abroad, and I may have to stay for a long time."

"Are you going to leave again? Or go abroad?" Hearing this, Liu Shufen felt a little sad again, and also sighed:

"Hey, after all, our Haitian Welfare Institute will not be able to keep you living gods."

"But there is one thing I want to tell you, that is, no matter how far you go in the future, you must always remember that you walked out of our Haitian Welfare Institute."

"No matter where you are, you must have kind thoughts in your heart, help those in need more, and do good deeds. This is the best feedback to our Haitian Orphanage, you know?"

"I know, I know." Zhao Junbo nodded choked up.

"Then, have you been doing this all these years?" Liu Shufen asked again.

"Well, that's what I always do." At this moment, Zhao Junbo was already sobbing and choked back:

"No, I can't come back to visit your old man every year, so I can only give back to Haitian Welfare Institute by sending money every year."

"Haha." Listening to Zhao Junbo's remarks, the white-haired Liu Shufen smiled and said with emotion:

"It's considered that you have a conscience. Thanks to you and those kind-hearted people in the society, our Haitian Welfare Institute has sufficient funds. These children in Haitian Welfare Institute have enough food and clothing."

"They can all enjoy the same life as children in ordinary families and receive the best care."

"Now, the hardware and software facilities of our Haitian Welfare Institute are much better than when you were here. The government even gave us a new look. The children here are very happy."

Speaking of this, everyone realized that at this moment, the door and window sills of the office were crowded with melon-eating children again.

Many children in the orphanage are lying there at the moment, secretly watching everyone's conversation.

But this time, the old dean Liu Shufen did not drive everyone away, but excitedly introduced to Zhao Junbo:

"See? These children are exactly like you back then, and they all had unfortunate experiences, but now they finally have a place to live."

"Here, now every week, volunteers come to take care of everyone and give everyone psychological counseling."

"Thus, these children today are not as naughty as you were back then, and they don't know everyone, and everyone's psychology is very healthy."

"The children living here are like a family. They are united, they help each other, and they even actively learn to help others."

With a heavy sigh, Liu Shufen also said with emotion: "These children today are all active and healthy, which makes me very gratified."

"Even if one day I'm gone and go back to the West, I'll feel at ease if I hand over the Haitian Welfare Institute, which I've devoted my whole life to run, to someone else, and I won't worry about these children having problems after they go out."

"En." Listening to Liu Shufen's narration, Zhao Junbo looked at the young faces at the door, and repeatedly saw himself back then, standing in the crowd.

In an instant, the sun shone on me who was under ten years old. The childhood Zhao Junbo just looked at the office, and the black-haired Liu Shufen was actively recommending children from the orphanage to families who wanted to adopt.

After being rejected many times, Liu Shufen still tried her best to introduce her, her stiff smile made people feel distressed.

Time goes back and forth again...

At this moment, there were no Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha in the office.

Only black-haired Liu Shufen was communicating with several couples of interested families.

And beside him, he was also staying in the orphanage, dreaming of a child that would be adopted by others one day.

"Oh, Zhao Junbo." A chubby little boy said to the childhood Zhao Junbo: "Mother Liu has been saying good things about you, why should she only praise you? We are also very good?"

"That's right." Another extremely little girl said involuntarily, "You, Zhao Junbo, have nothing but good looks. You're not as good as me. I can at least dance, and you can't even skip rope."

"I……"

Zhao Junbo, who had been scolded by everyone, was in a daze at the moment, as if he didn't know how to refute.

And looking at the couples of interested families, after looking at the photos and information of many children, they couldn't help but shook their heads and turned to leave.

The children surrounding the door suddenly took a position.

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to Zhao Junbo, touched Zhao Junbo's head, and said with a sigh:

"The child is handsome, but it would be great if it was a girl. I want to adopt a girl."

"Husband, let's go." Another woman reminded.

The man nodded and left with several other interested families.

Looking at the couples who left, many children standing outside the corridor looked forward one by one in disappointment.

But at this moment, the black-haired Liu Shufen came out of the office. Seeing everyone gathered here, she quickly put back her depressed mood, tried to put on an excited look, comforted everyone, and said:

"Those uncles and aunts just now said they would think about it again. Each of you has a chance to be adopted."

"Mother Liu, we all heard it." A little girl with an unattractive appearance also replied in frustration:

"Those uncles and aunts just now said that I was ugly, and they wanted to adopt a good-looking girl. Did I let Mama Liu down?"

At the end of the talk, the little girl burst into tears of grievance.

This made Liu Shufen feel at a loss, so she quickly hugged the girl in her arms, and comforted her: "Who said that? In Mama Liu's place, each of you is beautiful and cute."

"The ones who say you are not good-looking are because they have blind eyes. Mother Liu will definitely help each of you and find a family that is willing to adopt you. It will."

Liu Shufen was still comforting everyone in their ears.

Many boys and girls cried.

Every time they saw an adult walk into the orphanage, everyone would subconsciously run to the door of Liu Shufen's office and eavesdrop on the details.

All orphans, male or female, all want to be children of ordinary families, and hope to have a family that is willing to accept them.

But most of the time, many adoptive families are also picky.

After all, it is an adopted child, and most families have very high requirements, and there are almost very few children who can meet these family requirements.

Therefore, many adoptive families will adhere to the principle of shopping around, choose among many orphanages, and finally determine a child with good conditions in all aspects to take home.

Looking at a group of boys and girls of the same age, they immediately hugged Liu Shufen in the middle, crying emotionally, Zhao Junbo stood in the distance, dazed.

Only then did Zhao Junbo realize that he had two chances to be adopted by adoptive families, which in itself was very lucky.

Although he failed both times, at least he was luckier than these children of the same age.

Some children never had a chance at all, and every time various materials and photos of these children were placed in front of the adoptive family, they were ruthlessly rejected.

Only then did Zhao Junbo feel that the jealousy of those children towards him was a normal reaction of a weak child.

And now Zhao Junbo finally understands why he still complains about the abandoned baby? This taboo word in my heart seems to be insignificant at this moment.

"Junbo, Junbo?"

At this moment, Zhao Junbo, who was in a daze, realized that the black-haired Liu Shufen was looking at him with a slight smile, and said, "I will definitely help you find a good adoptive family, definitely."

In an instant, Zhao Junbo's mind was spinning.

When Zhao Junbo opened his hazy eyes again, he realized that at this moment, he had already cried to the point of tears.

And Liu Shufen, who was hugging her by her side, was already gray-haired at this moment.
