BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie - Chapter 155.2 - Extra
Qing Yun stood up and thanked the butler. He glanced at Father Gu’s funeral portrait and said softly: “Uncle Chen, Dad has passed away, but the Gu family cannot fall. Although I don’t have much exposure to the company affairs, it would be good enough if I proceed slowly.”
Listening to the tone of this youth who was only 20 years old, Uncle Chen’s heart, which was wavering because of Father Gu’s death, suddenly calmed down. He only felt that the youth in front of him seemed to be somewhat different, with an extra trace of indescribable stability between his brows as well as a bit more coldness.
“Also, regarding the orphanage that Dad has been sponsoring for many years, I’m going to have a look at it too.” Qing Yun said after thinking over it while sitting on a chair.
He could give Gu Qing a chance and wait for her to make a move, but without being in a completely passive position. In addition, the orphanage was indeed a huge vulnerability. Father Gu only knew to sponsor it with his money, but he did not know that the director of that orphanage had embezzled all of the donations and was even abusive to the orphans. The orphanage gates that looked warm and bright was just a gorgeous shell; the world inside was just dark beyond comparison.
In the original direction of this world, after Gu Qing revealed the inner workings of the orphanage, the director of the orphanage was severely punished. As a sponsor, Father Gu was instead said to be one who gains reputation via unscrupulous methods, a villain who seemed to do charity on the surface but was actually abusing the orphans together with the director.
Hence, no matter if it was for the Gu family or for the children in the orphanage, Qing Yun had to reveal the dark secrets of the orphanage in advance.
Since he had made his decision, Qing Yun first brought the company that was slightly unstable after Father Gu’s death under control, then drove himself to the orphanage without informing the orphanage director.
This orphanage was only privately founded, but its scale was truly not small. This was because Father Gu did indeed put a lot of money into charity work, but it was not for the sake of reputation as most people thought. Instead, it was due to Gu Cheng’s deceased mother who was an orphan, and in memory of his late wife, Father Gu provided financial aid to a number of orphanages.
However, good people can do millions of good things and not always be praised, while a slight negligence can cause people to be beaten down into hell. When Gu Qing uncover the inner workings of this orphanage later, no one thought that Father Gu had sponsored other orphanages as well and instead saw him as someone cut from the same cloth as the orphanage director.
Looking at the tightly closed entrance to the orphanage, Qing Yun sent a text to the director with a cold glint in his eyes, then got out of the car and walked over straightaway.
He had just taken two steps when he saw a tiny figure flip over the orphanage fence, stumbling for a few steps after landing on the ground before scrambling over in his direction.
The figure was a boy of about 9 years old. He was dressed in rags and his face covered in dirt and wounds, but none of that could cover the wolf-liek gleam in the boy’s eyes.
However, the boy was obviously too panicked, only caring to look back to see if anyone was chasing after him. He unexpectedly ran headlong into Qing Yun and was then knocked to the ground with a “crash”.
Immediately after that, the entrance of the orphanage opened, and two men who looked like security guards ran out, yelling: “Stop running, little brat!”
But they instantly froze when they saw Qing Yun: “Young Master Gu, what-what brings you here?” Does the director know of this?1
Seeing that the two guards froze, the boy got up from the ground and ran, but Qing Yun grabbed onto his shoulder in an instant.
“What are you running for?”2
This was the first time Yan Linhao heard this clear and cold voice. Right now, little did he know that this voice would become his lifelong obsession. He, who was eager to escape, turned his head and bit down on Qing Yun’s wrist like a cub.
Although he was at the age of losing teeth, Yan Linhao exerted all of his strength, and very soon the taste of blood spreaded through his mouth.
But what made Yan Linhao anxious was that even though it reached this state, that youth didn’t even withdraw his arm. Just when he was about to release his bite and leave, a stout figure also finally came out of the orphanage with his brow beaded with sweat.
“Gu Cheng? Look at yourself, why did you come, and you didn’t even tell me in advance!” The director walked over while greeting him with familiarity. Once he saw the wound on Qing Yun’s wrist, he immediately said to the two guards behind him: “So it’s the new kid, quickly get him over there to get him cleaned up.”
With this single sentence of his, he explained away the filth on Yan Linhao and his act of escaping. Although Gu Cheng’s sudden arrival scared him, but the director knew the youth. Gu Cheng, very well. He thought that there would be no difficulty fooling this Young Master Gu whose father had just died.
Yan Linhao struggled as he was taken away. Once he saw the director treating Qing Yun warmly, his gaze at QIng Yun immediately turned defensive and he even cursed at him: “Bad person!”
Anyone who was together with the director are not any good!
Qing Yun glanced at the boy who was being forcibly taken away, then quickly withdrew his gaze and did not pay much attention. In his eyes, Yan Linhao was no different from the other suffering orphans in the orphanage, and he didn’t think it was worthwhile taking a child’s words to heart.
“Gu Cheng, look at this wound of yours, shall I take you to the hospital to have a look at it?” The director smoothly tried to stop Qing Yun’s idea of going in to take a look. Right now, he had not made any preparations, if this little young master was allowed to see the real situation of the orphanage, then he would be finished.
In the past, whenever Father Gu went to the orphanage to visit the orphans. He would always inform the director in advance. This director would then dress the orphans, who did not have enough to eat or dress warmly, in new clothes. Everything was beautifully decked out before he let Father Gu come over.
Father Gu did ask why the orphans were not in their right mind, but once the director heard Father Gu ask this question, he would lament and weep as he claimed that these orphans had really pitiful backgrounds and tragically abandoned, which caused psychological trauma.
This was how Father Gu was deceived.
“It’s nothing. My father cared a lot about the orphanage before he passed. As his son, I naturally have to come and take a look.” Qing Yun absent-mindedly shook off the beads of lood on his hands and walked straight towards the interior of the orphanage.
He had actually been shocked when he saw the wound on his hand, thinking of fierce hatred in the gaze of the boy just now.
The director was stunned by this indifferent attitude of Qing Yun, and panickedly blocked him: “Ay, Gu Cheng, your father and I are considered old friends, as soon as your father died abruptly……”
The director started to change the topic by digressing, but in reality, he was puzzled. How come the little young master of the Gu family, who was raised to be incomparably obedient, seems to have changed completely in a short time? He heard that after Father Gu’s passing, the Gu family company was also well ran by him. Was it possible that his visit today was due to some rumours he heard?
On the other side, once the two guards brough Yan Linhao into the orphanage, then immediately their fierce looks were revealed and gave a merciless slap on Yan Linhao: “I’ll totally let you run! Every time you run away, almost half of laozi’s salary will be deducted!”
Although Yan Linhao had just entered the orphanage, he was still someone who was able to escape from his kidnappers all on his own. Hence he know that it was best for him to not resist at this time, and he could only hug his head as he squatted as he let these two guards beat him up.
As soon as Qing Yun walked in, he saw this scene. He sneered as he looked at the director beside him who was constantly wiping his sweat: “You wouldn’t let me in because you’re afraid that I’ll see this scene?”
It was not just the Yan Linhao who was beaten up, most of the young children in the orphanage were much worse off than him. They were covered head to toe in filth and their gazes dodging and avoidant.
There were even a few children locked up in cages, their expressions wooden. Like livestock, there were cradling two slices of dried out bread and nibbling on them in a corner.
To the side, there were also two people who were feeding the children talking about going to pick up some goods tomorrow. Hearing this, Qing Yun’s gaze instantly went frostly.
The director never thought that Gu Cheng would dare to ignore his blocking and personally walk in. His face was drenched in cold sweat, and he still thought of trying to get himself off the hook: “Young Master Gu, listen to me, I was busy with something else for a while. I also don’t know when the orphanage actually because like this. The last time your father came for a visit it was still……”
“These words, you can tell the to the police yourself.” Without saying another word, he called the police as well as a few ambulances.
The children here have been abused for so long, they probably all have health issues.
A short while later, the sound of police and ambulance sirens rang outside the orphanage. Meanwhile, the emotion in the the orphans eyes turned from wooden to panicked, not understanding what was going on there.
Qing Yun sighed internally at the sight. The policemen and doctors who soon arrived was also shocked by the scene within the moment they stepped into the orphanage.
They quickly became serious and began to investigate all the issues within this orphanage.
The orphans with serious injuries were brought into the ambulance one after another. Their faces were still full of bewilderment and even showed some fear. But on this day, the actions of a youth opening up the gates of the orphanage and exposing all the darkness out in the sunlight, was deeply imprinted at the bottom of their hearts.
Yan Linhao who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt himself being picked up, and there was something familiar about the scent of the embrace he was in. Yan Linhao subconsciously raised his head and was stunned to see Qing Yun. However, he was not as naive as the other orphans and his gaze recovered its fierceness after snapping out of his trance.
This person was obviously in cahoots with the director, now that he was revealing the director’s orphanage conditions, it’s probably because they had fallen out with each other, right? He had seen this sort of thing many times in the Yan family.
Despite these thoughts, when Yan Linhao was placed in the ambulance by Qing Yun, he still couldn’t help but to stretch his head out to look at Qing Yun, those dark eyes of his hiding a desire to get closer.
But soon, the ambulance door closed in front of his eyes. The youth’s gaze did not linger on him, which made Yan Rinhao’s mood sink within a moment.
The efficiency of the police was high and very soon they found evidence of the director embezzling charity funds and even buying and selling of children.
Unlike the original direction, the situation of the orphanage’s darkness being revealed was different. When Qing Yun was brought in by the police to give a statement, he was also greatly praised for his courage in calling the police.
“Mr. Gu, many thanks to you for not hesitating to call the police when you saw the inner workings of the orphanage. Otherwise, that director would definitely have quickly destroyed the evidence and fled abroad. By then, who knows how much more harm it would have caused. In addition, there are many children who’s bodies can no longer hold up, I have to thank you on behalf of them.”
The older police officer was truly appreciative of Gu Cheng’s actions. After all, this orphanage was sponsored by the Gu family, if the director was problematic, it was not guaranteed that the Gu family’s name would not be dragged through the mud. However, this young man instead called for ambulances and the police without giving it a second thought, which just proved that the Gu family had a clear conscience.
Qing Yun only smiled and didn’t reply. He thought about how Gu Qing was aware of the orphanage’s situation back then, but once she was adopted by the Gu family, she didn’t mention it to them in the slightest. Afterwards when she took the initiative to expose the dark secrets of the orphanage, there were some people who wondered why she did not speak up earlier. However, Gu Qing did not even have to explain herself, her fans, in a bit of wishful thinking, felt that the Gu family must have forced Gu Qing to keep silent about the truth.
