The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Zhao Xuan finished dinner feeling depressed, and the father and daughter went to the guest room on the second floor.

Huang Shuo stopped in front of Zhao Xuan's door and looked at her with concern.

"Xuan'er, we've been busy traveling these past two days, and you haven't had much rest. Go back to your room and rest early."

"Dad, what about you?"

Huang Shuo stretched, yawned, and pointed to his head.

"I'm tired too. I've overused my brain and my head hurts. I'm going back to my room and going to sleep. I have to go to the Fuze Orphanage tomorrow morning. It's such a stressful life!"

"Well, don't think too much about it. Let's take it one step at a time."

Zhao Xuan was bored. After watching Huang Shuo return to his room, she turned around and walked into her own guest room.

Half an hour later.

In Huang Shuo's guest room, he slowly finished the cup of tea in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, quietly opened the door and walked out, then turned back and quietly closed the door.

"What a silly girl! Daddy is not stupid. How could Daddy let you take such a dangerous risk with me?"

Huang Shuo muttered something, then tiptoed towards Zhao Xuan's door.

Huang Shuo is indeed not stupid, he is just simple-minded and does not understand the ways of the world very well. However, when it comes to protecting his daughter, Huang Shuo definitely takes great pains.

When he was looking for Zhao Xuan in the Yue Palace, he never thought that it would bring him any danger.

At this time, he planned to go to the Fuze Relief Home alone, and did not care about his own safety at all. He just put Zhao Xuan's safety first, and everything else was not within his consideration.

Huang Shuo came to Zhao Xuan's door and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard Zhao Xuan's light snoring coming from inside the room. He squinted his eyes, smiled, turned and left.

The innkeeper saw Huang Shuo passing through the inn lobby and walking towards the door, and greeted him warmly.

"Sir, are you still out so late?"

Huang Shuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed.

"I'm too full for dinner, let's go out and digest it!"

When we left the inn, it was already dark. There were few people on the street, and thousands of houses were lit up.

Huang Shuo did not use any martial arts skills, but like an ordinary person, he followed the route provided by the innkeeper and walked towards the Fuze Relief Home.

Huang Shuo hasn't experienced such a leisurely and lazy life for a long time.

Ever since he saw Zhao Xuan holding the dead Zhao Xiaoman and sobbing and talking nonsense at dawn that day, his heart has never been at peace.

He was only determined to fulfill Zhao Xiaoman's last wish and took on the burden of raising and caring for Zhao Xuan.

He took Zhao Xuan with him and wandered around until they settled down in Heyan Village. He didn't dare show any martial arts skills in front of others. He just relied on his strength to work as a blacksmith day and night, trying to make money so that Zhao Xuan could have a full meal.

He was always worried, fearing that Zhao Xuan would make the slightest mistake, and he was always worried, just because of the lingering feelings that even Zhao Xiaoman had never noticed.

Later, although he was in Qingshan Valley, he was there to accompany Zhao Xiaoman and recuperate. He believed that the martial arts he taught her could enable Zhao Xuan to protect herself, but he was always worried about Zhao Xuan who was in the martial arts world.

Zhao Xuan is Zhao Xiaoman's apprentice. To Huang Shuo, Zhao Xuan is more like his own daughter whom he raised.

Huang Shuo still remembers how ecstatic Zhao Xiaoman was when she brought home a swaddled baby many years ago.

Zhao Xiaoman handed the baby to him and asked him to hold it, but he just stared at the baby in his arms stupidly, not daring to move.

He could now imagine how embarrassing he was at that time. No wonder Zhao Xiaoman almost died of laughter when she looked at him.

The baby in the cradle is now Zhao Xuan.

Thinking of this, Huang Shuo couldn't help but smile.

How carefree he was during those years!

Now, Zhao Xiaoman has gotten the glory she deserves, Zhao Xuan has finally married her beloved, and there are so many trustworthy and sincere partners.

Zhao Xuan no longer relies solely on her own courage to venture into the world.

He was relieved and had no worries.

At this moment, Tian Xueyan's sweet smile suddenly emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh softly. With the protection of Prince Xian's Mansion, she should be able to live a good life.

Huang Shuo breathed in the fresh air, recalling every detail of the past years as he strolled slowly. Gradually, he saw a courtyard with a black gate not far away.

The two lanterns on the door swayed slightly in the wind, and the plaque on the door read:

Fuze Relief Home.

Huang Shuo walked slowly to the door and rang the knocker, his whole body secretly on guard.

Finally it has come to this, who knows how many monsters are hiding in the orphanage!

He knew too well how an orphan would feel about repaying those who had done them a favor.

Just look at Zhao Xuan and you will know. She is invincible, courageous, and even willing to risk her own life to avenge her master!

He would not be surprised at all if the second son of the Zhang family committed robbery and murder at the benefactor's order who adopted and took care of them.

If the "benefactor" had a seemingly legitimate reason, and the second son of the Zhang family chose to commit suicide by taking poison in order not to reveal the "benefactor's" secret, everything would make sense.

A gentleman will die for his friend, sometimes even without regard for right or wrong.

While Huang Shuo was thinking, the door opened and a young man who looked to be in his teens stood at the door with a lantern in his hand. He looked Huang Shuo up and down with a puzzled look on his face.

"who are you looking for?"

"I'm an old friend of your dean. I've come to visit you tonight. Could you please take me to see him?"

Seeing that the young man still had doubts, Huang Shuo smiled and said in a gentle tone:

"I was supposed to visit you early this morning, but I was delayed by something. I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I have no choice but to come and bother you now. I hope you will forgive me and help pass on the message."

The young man's brows relaxed when he heard this, and he quickly gestured to Huang Shuo to come in. After closing the door, he held the lantern and led the way.

"The dean is always in the study at this time every day to handle the trivial matters of the academy. Please follow me."

"Thank you, bro."

"What's your name, sir?"

The young man looked back at Huang Shuo and asked.

"My last name is Huang."

Huang Shuo said this while looking around calmly. The courtyard was very large, with rows of bungalows that were mostly dark. Occasionally, faint voices could be heard.

At this hour, most people had already fallen asleep, so there was nothing strange about it.

The young man brought Huang Shuo to the outside of the study quickly. The young man stopped and stood at the door, reporting respectfully.

"Dean, there's a Mr. Huang who claims to be an old friend of yours and has come to visit you specially."

The door of the study slowly opened, and a pretty woman who looked to be in her thirties stood at the door. Seeing Huang Shuo standing behind the young man, she was full of suspicion.

But the woman still nodded to the boy: "You go down first."

The young man bowed to the woman and then left with the lantern.

Huang Shuo was a little surprised. He had always thought that the director of the Fuze Relief Institute should be an elderly man, but he didn't expect it to be a young woman.

Huang Shuo followed the woman into the study and bowed to her.

"Mr. Huang pays his respects to Dean Li."

Li Chongxi returned the greeting, looked at Huang Shuo's face carefully, and frowned.

"Sir, I don't know you. I can't remember when we met."

"The dean really doesn't know me. Huang came here to ask the dean about someone."

Huang Shuo looked at Li Chongxi and went straight to the point.

Li Chongxi sat down behind the desk and gestured to Huang Shuo to invite him to sit down. After Huang Shuo sat down, Li Chongxi asked in a deep voice.

"who?"

"There are three brothers who were placed in Mingshan Village, Nanxi County, by your hospital more than ten years ago. The eldest is Zhang Yongsheng, the third is Zhang Yongli, and I'm here to inquire about the second brother."

When Li Chongxi heard this, his pupils shrank slightly and he looked at Huang Shuo with a nervous expression.

"So much time has passed, I'm afraid..."

Huang Shuo heard the evasiveness in Li Chongxi's words, smiled slightly, and interrupted Li Chongxi.

"Even if the dean can't remember right now, your institution should have records of all the orphans it has taken in, right?"
