Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter

Chapter 249 - The Basement

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Basement

Now that the wheel of fortune had turned, the Ace of Hearts had become a powerless little girl, acting cute and coquettishly to him. Cheng Qi was savoring every moment, and his heart was extremely soft.

She was so cute~

He really wanted to take pictures of her~

“Thank you, Brother Cheng Qi. Chuchu likes you the most,” Gu Chu expressed her gratitude happily.

She secretly thought that when she went back, she would carefully comb through the network of connections in the capital. She must find out the mysterious guy behind the kindergarten and rescue Ye Sichen.

Regarding this strange kindergarten, Gu Chu had many doubts.

Were the child’s parents really so irresponsible? Did they not know that the child was living a life of suffering? Even if the parents occasionally went to the kindergarten to take a look at the dilapidated walls and dirty children, they would definitely notice the problems in the kindergarten.

But in the past five to six years, no parents had reported it…

It was really too strange.

—

In Royal Kindergarten, there was a huge basement.

The temperature in the basement was very low, and the workers who came and went were all wearing thick clothing. They walked around in the workshop, methodically installing and packing all kinds of items. Their movements were very light, for fear of damaging the items.

In the surveillance room, more than a hundred surveillance screens were working methodically.

“Principal, three strangers approached the kindergarten just now. Two males and a female.” The staff member in charge of security ran over.

The principal of the kindergarten was called Yang Xi.

Yang Xi asked, “Have you found out who they are?”

“They said they came to the kindergarten to visit a kid, but the security guard didn’t let them in.” The staff member’s fingers moved quickly on the instrument and pulled out the surveillance footage of Cheng Qi and the other two, “The three of them stayed by the fence in the backyard for a few minutes before leaving.”

Yang Xi stared at the three people on the monitor.

He kept feeling that the young man in the white shirt looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Yang Xi said, “Recently, more and more people are paying attention to the kindergarten. The network wall has been breached by hackers several times. Immediately find a technician to strengthen the network management, delete all the negative information, and replace all the old photos.”

“Yes, Director.”

“Also — send me a copy of the screenshot of this person.” Yang Xi pointed at Cheng Qi’s picture. “I want to send his photo to the boss. Maybe we can find out who he is.”

“I’ll do it right away.”

In the cold basement, workers came and went. Yang Xi made a tour around the basement and left for the kindergarten.

There were ten children in the kindergarten. On the outside, they were seen as children of poor migrant workers, but in fact, these children were “puppets”. The parents of these children worked under the boss, but some of them had bad intentions and wanted to escape.

In order to make them behave, the boss sent their children into the kindergarten as a threat.

If they didn’t obey, these children would accidentally “die of illness”.

For example, the little fatty named Ye Sichen, whose father was the director of the museum, secretly took charge of the transportation work for the team. In the last two years, his father became more and more restless and even wanted to escape, which caused the boss to be extremely dissatisfied.

The boss forced him to send Ye Sichen to the kindergarten. After a few rounds of beating, he became more and more well-behaved.

Yang Xi walked into the back garden of the kindergarten. The children were still pulling weeds there, and one or two of them had dirty faces. Yang Xi curled the corners of his mouth in disdain. “All of you, go inside and rest. You — Ye Sichen, you didn’t do your job properly. Pull all the weeds out before you take a rest.”

The other children ran back into the house, trembling.

Ye Sichen gritted his teeth, held back his tears, and bent down to continue pulling weeds.

He knew that Chu Chu would definitely save him…
