Chapter 253 The Secret of the Orphanage (2)
"Who?!"
Just as Rand shouted, a black cat darted out from under the window and ran frantically across the yard.
It turned out that it had accidentally bumped into some clutter by the window, making a sound.
Rand opened the window and stared intently at the fleeing cat, his eyes filled with suspicion and wariness.
She only slowly withdrew her gaze after the black cat disappeared into the corner of the yard.
Song Qianyi had already moved to another secluded place when she discovered the cat.
She hid in her new hiding place, trembling slightly with anger.
Although we don't know where these children will be taken, it certainly won't be a good place.
Song Qianyi felt guilty; she was the one who had sent Dean into a dangerous situation.
Inside the room, the bespectacled man was also startled by the sudden commotion.
He looked at Rand, a hint of nervousness in his eyes, "Dean, is someone outside?"
Rand withdrew his gaze, sat back down in his chair, his eyes regaining their previous gloomy expression, and let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, just a stray cat."
"Forget all that nonsense, we have to get this done tonight. The higher-ups have given a death order: not a single one of these children can be lost."
The bespectacled man quickly nodded in agreement.
He wanted to say something more, but seeing Rand's gloomy appearance, he ultimately didn't speak and left the office.
Song Qianyi was silently making plans in her mind.
Rand is just a small fry; there must be a much larger force controlling everything behind the scenes.
The most urgent task is to rescue the children first, and then find a way to find out who is behind this.
It would have been fine if she hadn't encountered this, but the worst part is that she found out about it.
She would not allow the orphanage to become a nightmare for the children.
After a while, Song Qianyi heard Dean Rand making a phone call from inside the room.
"Hey, is everything arranged?...Okay, proceed according to plan, depart promptly at eight o'clock...Hmm, make sure everything goes perfectly."
Song Qianyi glanced at her watch; it was almost five o'clock, and they only had three hours left before they could move the child.
After confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Song Qianyi carefully left her hiding place and quietly climbed over the orphanage wall.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling at the moment. Song Qianyi blended into the crowd on the street and walked quickly toward the coffee shop not far away.
Before entering the coffee shop, she called Katie.
He gave a few instructions and then hung up.
Entering the coffee shop, Song Qianyi found a relatively secluded spot by the window and ordered a coffee.
A short while later, the second student hurriedly entered the coffee shop, went straight to where Song Qianyi was, and sat down opposite her.
Song Qianyi slightly raised her eyes, looked at Department Two, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"
The second secretary looked serious and frowned slightly as he spoke.
“Miss, I followed them to a temporary stronghold in an abandoned factory in the west of the city. It was heavily guarded, with armed men in black patrolling all around.”
Song Qianyi tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
Are the children inside?
Department Two nodded.
"I was sure the children were inside. I saw several children through the window, and although they were a bit far away, I was sure they were children."
"Furthermore, there was a large, modified truck behind the factory, which was probably used to move the children."
Song Qianyi's eyes sharpened.
"It seems they're planning to just take the children away. We don't have much time left; we must rescue them before eight o'clock."
Shortly after, Katie sent a message informing Song Qianyi that everything was ready and she could act at any time.
Song Qianyi replied.
[You shall proceed immediately to the abandoned factory in the west of the city, conceal yourselves outside the factory, and await my signal before proceeding.]
Song Qianyi and Xi Er didn't linger any longer and quickly got up and left the coffee shop.
They drove to the vicinity of the factory, and to avoid being discovered, the two of them got out of the car and started walking.
As they got closer to the factory, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The sun had already set, and the factory's outline appeared sinister and eerie. The occasional flashing lights seemed like the eyes of a demon, spying on everything around them.
