After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 248 We absolutely have to go; there's definitely something wrong with this place.

Almost as soon as the car came to a stop, the driver's side door was pushed open, military boots landed on the ground splashing water, and the person walked up to them in a few steps.

Jiang Hanying instinctively stopped and called out, "Instructor."

Li Chengxiao walked closer and quickly looked the person up and down in the lamplight.

With half-wet hair and black clothes that were hard to tell whether they were wet or not, the clothes probably weren't very dry either, given how wet her hair was.

"Where have you been? Where's the patient who was brought in?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Che, who was holding an umbrella beside him. The patient was clearly not referring to this person, so he turned his gaze back to the person in front of him.

Jiang Hanying answered them one by one: "I'm looking for someone. I've handed the patient over to your brother, and I have to go somewhere now."

Qin Che listened silently, holding his breath.

He recognized the person who came, not to mention that Jiang Hanying had just called him "Instructor".

But the docile scene of questioning and answering in front of him, coupled with his recollection of the series of outrageous acts Jiang Hanying committed after sneaking into the mental hospital not long ago, felt really disjointed to him!

Where else to go?

"Sacred Heart Welfare Home".

"Must go?"

"I have to go."

"boarding!"

Jiang Hanying was stunned for a moment. Seeing her cheap owner turn around and go back to the car, she quickly ran to the passenger seat.

She opened the car door and had one foot already on it when she realized she had forgotten someone. She turned to Qin Che, waved, and called out, "That's all for you, go back!"

Qin Che stood there staring at Jiang Hanying, who was waving at him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He's been working hard alongside me all this time, and now he's just been abandoned like this?
Just as Li Chengxiao restarted the car and was about to start moving, the back door of the Jeep was suddenly pulled open, and Qin Che jumped in.

Seeing Jiang Hanying turn around, Qin Che quickly said before she could even sit down properly, "I bet Xiao Ruyi is probably at the Sacred Heart Welfare Home you're going to, right? More people means more help, and I don't like to give up halfway through things. I won't be able to sleep if I go back like this!"

In short: I want to go too!
Jiang Hanying withdrew her foot, which she was about to kick him down, and said, "Suit yourself."

Li Chengxiao was driving when he glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said, "There are towels behind the back seats. You can reach them and use them to dry your hair."

Qin Che did as instructed, reached behind him, grabbed a towel, handed it to Jiang Hanying in front of him, and then took out another one for himself.

After the two of them had dried their hair, which looked like a frizzy lion's mane, he spoke again: "Tell me what you two did all night?"

Jiang Hanying crumpled the towel in her hand into a ball, thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday, when we were filming the show, we encountered a lost child. This morning, her adoptive parents came and took her away. But I always felt something was off about their family, so after the show, I wanted to go and verify if my guess was right."

Li Chengxiao hummed in agreement. "And then? How did you end up soaked to the bone?"

“I went to the child’s adoptive parents’ house first. They had adopted the child a year ago, but when I got there, I found that there was no trace of the child living there. They even lied to me that the child was asleep so that I wouldn’t see him. Moreover, the nanny at their house didn’t react naturally when I mentioned the child. I guessed that the child didn’t live in that house at all.”

"Then I went to the mental hospital where the child's biological mother was staying. She wasn't sick at all, but she was tortured for a year in that obviously problematic mental hospital, and now she's skin and bones. As soon as I got there, it started thundering and raining, and I got caught in the rain when I went in and came out."

"The patient you mentioned on the phone earlier, is that child's biological mother?"

"Yes, she fainted as soon as I brought her out, and I didn't even have a chance to ask her anything."

This time, Li Chengxiao paused before asking, "How is that problematic mental hospital doing now?"

Jiang Hanying scratched her head. "It was a complete mess. Not only the child's biological mother, but there were also quite a few normal people locked up inside. I released all of them."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

well.

Not surprisingly.

That's the kind of thing this girl is capable of doing!

Qin Che was sitting directly behind Jiang Hanying, and he couldn't help but look towards the driver's seat.

From his angle, he could only see Li Chengxiao's profile, his face still calm. It was as if what he had just heard was nothing more than a trivial matter in the other's eyes.

But most normal people would be shocked to hear about what Jiang Hanying did, right?

No wonder he was once Jiang Hanying's instructor.
Everything is so...unusual!
Ignoring Qin Che's complicated gaze, Li Chengxiao glanced down at the navigation and said, "It's about a forty-minute drive. I'll take a nap first, and I'll wake you up when we get there."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Hanying immediately covered her face with the towel in her hand, closed her eyes, and fell asleep instantly.

Qin Che: "..."

This person had been yawning several times and hadn't slept a wink in his car before, and now he's just in a different car...

That's quite trusting!

However, while Jiang Hanying can fall asleep instantly, he can't seem to fall asleep very easily.

Afraid of disturbing the people in front of me if I made a sound, I had no choice but to take out my phone and prepare to play a game on silent mode.

I found a few gaming buddies in the group who were still awake at this hour, and we quickly started a game after entering the room.

The game, which I used to find exciting and intense, felt less appealing this time.

This night's experience was probably far more exciting than any game.

Qin Che was a bit disheartened, so he simply followed his teammates and played idly, hoping to win the game without lifting a finger.

"laugh!"

Just as he turned into a somewhat narrow intersection, Li Chengxiao suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Qin Che grabbed his phone and pressed his face against the back of the seat in front of him, causing the phone to slip from his hand and fall onto his shoe.

Jiang Hanying, who was sitting in front of him, was startled awake. Her body lurched forward, but the seatbelt pulled her back, and a hand pressed down on her shoulder to help her steady herself.

The towel that was originally covering her face flew onto the windshield.

"what happened?"

Li Chengxiao withdrew his hand from Jiang Hanying's shoulder, immediately turned off the car lights, and began reversing into the dark alleyway ahead, which had no streetlights at all. "This orphanage definitely has problems."

Qin Che, who was bent over rubbing his face with his left hand and had just picked up his phone with his right, quickly straightened up and looked up when he heard this, "Can't the car move forward at all?"

Jiang Hanying was too lazy to reply to him, and suddenly looked at the old houses on both sides of the alley.

Without the car headlights illuminating the area, the faint light under the eaves of the houses became much more noticeable.

Those flashing little red dots were roughly five meters away from them.

The red dot extends forward.

Unfortunately, the navigation showed that the Sacred Heart Welfare Home was located at the end of the alley.

And there's only one way to get there!

But why install so many surveillance cameras on the road leading to the welfare home?

Is this to prevent people from getting in? Or to prevent people inside from escaping?

It's also possible that it's both!
The jeep backed out of the alley before stopping. Li Chengxiao released the steering wheel, unbuckled his seatbelt with one hand, and looked at the dark, quiet alley ahead, saying in a deep voice, "There are likely people monitoring the houses on both sides. If anyone or any vehicle enters or leaves the alley without permission, they will be able to detect it immediately."

Qin Che gasped in shock.

"This place sounds even scarier than the mental hospital we went to before. How do we get in now?"

Jiang Hanying also unbuckled her seatbelt and pointed upwards upon hearing this, "Let's go on the roof. The camera is under the eaves, so it can't capture the roof."

Qin Che: "..."

Flying over rooftops and scaling walls?

The problem is, he doesn't have that skill!
