Chapter 170 My original name was Zhu Xuan

“My name is He Qiu, and I am an orphan. I don’t remember my parents. I have lived in the Jinghai Sunshine Welfare Home since I can remember.”

"The director said that a homeless man found me in a trash can and then brought me to the welfare home."

"Although we are orphans, the Sunshine Welfare Home has very good conditions. We have never lacked food or clothing. We receive good welfare, and people often come to donate money, clothes, books, and all sorts of things."

"Although I didn't have parents, I had friends. Although some of the friends were annoying and just cried all day, I was very happy during that time."

"When I was nine years old, the director suddenly called me to his office. There was a man and a woman standing there, saying they wanted to adopt me."

"The director told me that their family was very well-off, much better than the orphanage. After I went to their home, I could learn whatever I wanted, and I wouldn't have to share anything with anyone else; everything would be mine."

Zhuang Yanzheng listened to what she said.

Su Miaoyi stood outside, wearing headphones, listening quietly.

"I couldn't bear to leave the director, and I couldn't bear to leave my friends, so I cried a lot that day. Later..."

As Zhu Xuan spoke, she paused as if she were thinking of someone, and then said, "In the end, I still went with them."

"Someone advised you against it," Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Who is it?"

Su Miaoyi clenched her fingers.

She felt that the person who advised her was probably also a child from the welfare home.

They must have a very good relationship.

Su Miaoyi recalled the vague voice of that boy from her hazy memories.

She turned on the microphone next to her: "Captain Zhuang, ask her if she is a boy from the orphanage."

Zhuang Yanzheng heard her words through the earpiece. He looked at Zhu Xuan and asked, "Was the person who persuaded you also from the orphanage? Are you close? Was it that boy?"

Zhu Xuan's eyes narrowed sharply: "How did you know?"

Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.

Zhu Xuan looked at him and suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yanzheng had said.

"You're so sure we can't find your childhood photos, it seems you know about the destruction of the Sunshine Welfare Home's records."

She was surprised and nervous after her identity was revealed, and she somewhat ignored his words.

Perhaps she should have realized it sooner.

When he mentioned the Sunshine Welfare Home, his expression and tone were very serious.

"Who did you arrest?" she asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her, trying to figure out if she was pretending or if she really didn't know anything: "Lu Jing, Huang Haoxu, Ren Mao."

Zhu Xuan frowned slightly.

"Besides Lu Jing, Huang Haoxu and Ren Mao also changed their names like you, right?"

"Are they still alive?" Zhu Xuan asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng did not answer her.

Lu Jing is in prison. Ren Mao was killed by Huang Haoxu.

Huang Haoxu attempted suicide with a plastic spoon and was taken to the hospital, but could not be saved.

Zhu Xuan was silent for a moment, then continued, "Lu Jing was adopted before me."

"And then?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“I went with the couple who said they wanted to adopt me,” Zhu Xuan said. “I went to the airport, first took a plane for more than ten hours, then transferred for more than six hours, and finally took a boat to an island.”

Zhuang Yanzheng's eyes trembled slightly.

"What adoption?" Zhu Xuan chuckled. "It's just going to a private island for people to have fun on."

Su Miaoyi listened, and the corners of her eyes twitched twice.

“I’m only nine years old.” Zhu Xuan smiled, but it was all out of helplessness about her fate. “I also saw Lu Jing there, and even other adopted people, and some people that the director said had passed away from illness.”

"The youngest is seven years old, and the oldest is sixteen. There are both boys and girls."

"And it's not just from one country."

"They came from all sorts of places."

“Like some of the people we know, they came from orphanages. There are also some who were bought or trafficked.”

"Whether they were men or women, they were all beautiful, intelligent, sensible, and had their own unique characteristics." "We were lucky to survive; we weren't killed and made it out alive."

Zhuang Yanzheng frowned.

Su Miaoyi listened from outside and felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

The children in the welfare home have questionable origins.

"Most of the children in welfare homes are either orphans who have lost their parents and have no one to care for them. They are either born with incurable defects or are abandoned because of the preference for sons over daughters and the lack of birth quotas."

Zhu Xuan looked at Zhuang Yanzheng and said, "So why are there so many beautiful, outstanding, intelligent, and healthy children at the Sunshine Welfare Home, both boys and girls?"

Zhu Xuan sneered: "The parents of those children who were abducted would never have imagined that their children would end up in a place like Jinghai after going around in circles."

“My name isn’t He Qiu, it’s Zhu Xuan. I’m from Jicheng. My parents were both university professors. They were looking for me and then had an accident and left.”

“I don’t have grandparents, and the address on the form is fake. My parents’ address is at Jicheng University. The address you found is because their surname is Zhu, and they have a granddaughter who is about my age.”

“After the elderly couple passed away, their granddaughter went abroad to commit fraud, so I used her information.”

Su Miaoyi was completely shocked.

Zhuang Yanzheng hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Xuan looked at him and chuckled.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked up at her, paused, and asked, "How did you get out of that island?"

“Someone brought us out and blew up the place,” Zhu Xuan said.

"Who is it?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“You arrested Lu Jing and Huang Haoxu, so you should know him, right?” Zhu Xuan looked at him.

"The boss behind Lu Jing and Huang Haoxu," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Zhu Xuan remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

“You’re both at the Sunshine Welfare Home,” Zhuang Yanzheng said, then added, “You’re the boy who comforted you when you were adopted.”

Just as Su Miaoyi had guessed, Le Yan's identity was exposed from the very beginning when he went undercover.

Zhuang Yanzheng pinched his palm with his fingernail.

“He told me that once I was adopted, I would have parents and a better life.” Zhu Xuan recalled those days, “He was always like our older brother, taking care of all of us, and in the end, he was the one who brought us out.”

"How old were you when you came out?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Fourteen."

"how old is he?"

Zhu Xuan remained silent.

Zhuang Yanzheng then asked, "And then?"

"After that, those who wanted to stay by his side lived with him, and those who didn't left," Zhu Xuan said. "I went back to Jicheng and separated from them. I haven't seen them for more than ten years."

"So, it's impossible for you to know anything from me. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I really don't know anything."

"What was his name before?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."

Upon hearing the name, Su Miaoyi didn't recall anything.

"Who are the people who came from that island?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“I don’t know everyone. We’re just playthings, not on vacation with our girlfriends.”

“If you know them, say so,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Even if I tell them, they've probably all changed their names and definitely altered their information, so you won't be able to find out."

"Just tell me," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"I forgot," Zhu Xuan said with a smile.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.

Zhu Xuan smiled again: "I've told you quite a bit already. I'm tired, I don't want to talk anymore."
