Chapter: 1126

He pulled out his phone and discovered that it was Li Xiaofen calling him.

After connecting the call, Li Xiaofen's anxious voice came through: "Leaf Chen, something's happened at the orphanage!"

Leaf Chen asked urgently: "What's going on?! What kind of trouble is happening at the orphanage? You're talking slowly and carefully, aren't you?"

Li Xiaofen choked back tears: "Ten kids are missing! I think someone must have taken them!"

"What?! The orphanage children would actually be stolen?!" Leaf Chen was both anxious and furious, asking urgently: "Xiaofen, please tell me specifically. What's really going on?"

He Xiaofen said hurriedly: "The day shift nurse was responsible for taking care of the infants and young children, and when she handed over to the night shift nurse this morning, she found that the night shift nurse was unconscious, and all 10 children in the room were missing. The night shift nurse has still not woken up, and the doctor said they were given a very strong anesthetic dose!"

Leaf Chen suddenly flew into rage, scolding: "What kind of person would be so bold as to steal children from a welfare institution?!"

He Xiaofen was crying and said: "This kind of thing has happened before, only it was always caught in time by us. Now the child traffickers are especially rampant. They not only dare to steal children from welfare institutions but also from hospitals, homes, and even snatch children on the streets!"

As she spoke, He Xiaofen added: "The main reason is that this line of business is too lucrative for them. Any child can be sold for around NT$10,000. If it's a child who is particularly good-looking, these people who are unable to have children and are willing to pay a high price to buy one... "

Leaf Chen asked urgently: "What's the current situation? Has anyone been reported to the police?"

He Xiaofen said hastily: "The day shift nurse and the director have already reported it to the police. The case has now been filed, but the officers are speculating that the night shift nurse was probably anesthetized around 3 am. That means they took the children away over four hours ago. They could have already left Jinling or even the province by now!"

At this moment, Leaf Chen's anger had reached its peak.

He didn't expect it, that someone would be so bold as to target the children at the welfare center.

Just thinking about these kids, some of whom might be sold to shady begging gangs and even become disabled individuals, made Leaf Chen wish he could dismember those child traffickers into a thousand pieces.

So, he immediately told Li Xiao Fen, "Little Fen, where are you now? Are you at the welfare center?"

"Yes," Li Xiao Fen said. "I just got back from the police station, and Mrs. Li is still there."

"Good." Leaf Chen said instantly, "Wait for me at the welfare center, I'm going there right away!"

After finishing his phone call, he hung up without bothering to say hello to his wife and hurriedly left the house.

When he arrived on the first floor, Ma Ran, dressed in a bright red pajamas, was impatiently urging him, "Leaf Chen, hurry up and cook dinner, Mother is almost starving."

Leaf Chen furrowed his brow, disdainfully saying, "If you're hungry, go cook it yourself."

Ma Ran gritted his teeth and scolded, "Hey! You're so fierce now, can't even tolerate a little bit of waiting?"

Leaf Chen nodded slightly, saying, "If you can pull off something as big as a villa, then I'll consider you having some tolerance!"

Ma Ran's face changed suddenly at these words: "Leaf Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that your villa is impressive just because you built it yourself? You're starting to act condescending towards me now?"

Leaf Chen said coldly: "No mistake. When I lived in your house before, how did you treat me? I hope you can reflect on this and consider the possibility that I might start treating you the same way as you treated me back then."

"You... Ma Ran's aura suddenly lost about 80% of its intensity; she only just realized that Leaf Chen was no longer the same person from before. JrNovels.com
