Chapter 686: Orphans


    “I also spent a long time tracking them down. It was only after many investigations before I became


    certain that it is indeed this He Lan family we need to focus on. I’ve been spending my time trying to get


    to the bottom of the truth, but my progress has beencking. I saw you through the missing person


    notice. Initially, when I saw that, I was shocked; I assumed you already knew something, so that was


    why you came to Country R to conduct the search. But if that was true, it couldn’t exin your decision


    to align yourself with the He Lan family. Now, it looks like everything was just a coincidence. You have


    no idea what really happens with them and the woman you’re looking for just so happens to be from


    their orphanage.”


    “Are you sure everyone rted to Project Gxyes from this orphanage?” Xinghe stared at him


    seriously to double check.


    Ee Chen nodded. “That is what I suspect. How else can we exin their purpose behind opening the


    orphanage? Let’s say that it was really for charity purpose, then how do you exin the many missing


    orphans? Even now, there are still orphans that go missing once in a while in their currently operating


    orphanage, therefore it’s only logical to believe that they select their candidates from their own


    orphanage. It’s the only way to do all of this without raising the public’s suspicion.”


    Xinghe’s eyes shone slightly. She didn’t expect to find out her mother was once a resident at the


    orphanage and she was selected to join Project Gxy when she was a child…


    Then, perhaps the Shen family’s second daughter had been selected to join Project Gxy as well!


    Or else, how could they havee up with no news?


    Xinghe asked severely, “What is the He Lan family’s main business? Howe my mother hasn’t told


    me about any of this?”


    Ee Chen sighed. “I’m not sure about the He Lan family’s financial background, but I think your mother


    didn’t tell you any of this is because she didn’t want to involve you in it.”


    “But why did they appear in City A? And howe they couldn’t find the He Lan family?”


    “ording to my father, the first city they went to after their escape was City A. However, since they


    had no valid identification, they didn’t dare wander beyond City A. Furthermore, at the time, information


    was hard toe by, so they couldn’t have known that the He Lan family had moved overseas. Of


    course, this is just my own spection; my father didn’t tell me everything. I think he was conflicted, on


    one hand, he wished I would one day save him, but on the other hand, he didn’t feel like putting all that


    pressure on me.”


    Xinghe chose to believe Ee Chen, because his experience was simr to hers. Her mother brought her


    to hide overseas as if afraid that they would be discovered. However, at the same time, she didn’t


    reveal to her the reasons why. Simultaneously, she tried to teach Xinghe everything she knew, so her


    thoughts must have been rather simr to Ee Chen’s father.


    So many years had passed but Xinghe still hadn’t found a trace of her mother. Whether she was alive


    or not was a mystery in itself!

    Xinghe feared to continue on with this train of thought, since she didn’t want anything bad to happen to


    her mother!


    She only wished to find her as soon as possible!


    Whatever Project Gxy was, it had nothing to do with her; she just wanted to save her mother.


    However, to do that she first had to deal with the He Lan family, who, ording to Ee Chen’s side of


    the story, threatened her mother’s and those other orphans’ existences!


    There was determination in Xinghe’s eyes when she promised Ee Chen, “Then we will start by cracking


    open the He Lan family. Eventually, the truth will be exposed to us..”
