Chapter 572 Leaving the Orphanage

I know I have the document with my name on it.

Just as the staff were at a loss, an old but steady voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the dean, who had just left the room, walking slowly but firmly toward them.

His figure appeared somewhat hunched and exhausted, but his eyes were now filled with wisdom and determination.

The dean stopped in the middle of the crowd and then held up the folder he was holding tightly to show it to everyone.

A conspicuous note was pasted on the cover of the folder, with the three words "Feng Jianguo" written in bold on it.

Without a doubt, this document should be the information that Feng Jianguo signed when he started working at this welfare home.

Then, the dean took a few more steps forward and came to the vice dean, handing the folders in his hand to him one by one.

He also explained in detail the contents of each document and the points to note to the vice president.

It turns out that in addition to the document dismissing Feng Jianguo, there were also important documents such as those investigating accountability.

In addition, there was a note that specifically stated that the children had actually been brainwashed by the suspects, and therefore appropriate measures had to be taken to deal with them.

Oh? And... what about you, Dean?

The vice dean subconsciously reached out and took the documents handed to him, but his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What should we do next?

He couldn't help but ask.

"You'll need to cooperate with the investigation later."

The dean whispered something to the vice dean.

After the dean left the room, he never once looked at Feng Jianguo.

However, at this moment, when he finally turned to face his nephew, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

I'm going to report this to the police and tell them everything that happened here. I'll also personally tell your mother about it. After all, as your closest person, I can't keep her in the dark.

The dean spoke slowly.

No! Absolutely not! Please, please don't tell my mother! I'd rather go to jail myself than let her suffer like this! She's so old and in poor health, how could she bear this blow!

Upon hearing this, Feng Jianguo, who had seemed to have given up all hope and was no longer willing to resist, suddenly looked up as if struck by lightning, stared at the dean with wide eyes, and roared at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, Feng Jianguo completely lost all pretense.

Tears streamed down his face, his expression one of endless regret.

Compared to his previous feigned remorse, he now seemed like a completely different person—undoubtedly, only at this moment did he truly realize how serious his mistake was, and felt deep self-blame and remorse for it.

Not tell her? Can you keep it from her forever? If you knew it was wrong, why did you do it in the first place?

The dean's voice carried a hint of anger and disappointment. He stared intently at Feng Jianguo, as if trying to see into his heart through his eyes.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Feng Jianguo did not answer him, the dean sighed deeply, shook his head, and seemed somewhat helpless.

However, he did not dwell on the matter further, but instead turned and walked towards Meros.

When he arrived in front of Meros, the dean stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Thank you!

The dean spoke in a trembling yet firm tone.

Not only did you generously donate to our orphanage, but you also helped us expose him hiding in the shadows. If it weren't for you, I probably would have remained in the dark, allowing him to abuse my nephew's status to persecute the children. I truly don't know how to repay you…

In the end, the dean's eyes welled up with tears, but he still forced back his tears and bowed deeply to Meros to express his sincerest gratitude.

His words and actions show that he has completely let go of his previous entanglement and unbearable feelings towards Feng Jianguo, and is now facing everything that is happening with a calm attitude, and sincerely thanks Moros for his help and support.

"I was just passing by. If you want to thank someone, thank those people at the Psionic Center."

Looking at the slightly aged old man before him, whose eyes were filled with sorrow, Meros felt no ripple in his heart. He remained calm and indifferent, and responded indifferently.

After all, although the Dean was quite old by human standards, it meant nothing to Meros.

If we use human calculations, he is hundreds of years older than the dean.

However, the dean didn't pay attention to these details because he knew that it was a favor, not an obligation, for people to help. It was their own business, and it was already good enough that they had told them.

"We are very grateful to you. If you hadn't arrived in time and offered your help, our orphanage would probably still be in the dark and we don't know how many more children would have suffered."

With a smile, the dean sincerely expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Meros once again.

Although Meros said that it was the people at the Psionic Center who found out, they probably wouldn't have come to investigate their own orphanage if Meros hadn't come to adopt a child.

The dean also knew that although all of this was discovered because Meros had a need, judging by the actions rather than the intentions, it had ultimately helped them.

Surprisingly, Meros did donate money to their orphanage.

Therefore, he was sincerely grateful to Meros for being willing to do these things.

Just then, Meros's gaze fell on the terminal screen on his wrist, where a message from the Psionic Center was displayed.

After reading the message, he nodded to the dean, indicating that the matter was basically over and he would leave immediately.

So he turned around, picked up Lin Xiyue who looked to be asleep, and prepared to leave the orphanage with his men.

"Okay, thank you again."

"Thanks you."

"Thank you!"

"..."

Seeing that Meros was about to leave, the dean and the other staff members present bowed deeply and once again expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Meros.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, big brother~"

"..."

Meanwhile, the young children who had not yet suffered persecution seemed to be influenced by the adults' behavior and subconsciously followed suit, expressing their gratitude to Meros.

However, Meros did not respond much to the people's thanks, and did not even turn his head.

He simply raised his right hand and waved it gently behind him, indicating that everyone didn't need to be so polite.

Then, he steadily carried little Lin Xiyue and led his group away until they had completely left the orphanage.
