After the match, Mu Yun declined his junior's invitation to dinner and left the rookie battle arena.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun rode his bicycle to the Asia-Europe Supermarket.

Today is the weekend, and Song Fu is off work, so he's going to visit him and Aunt Zhu.

It's a pity that Xiaomeng is busy with graduation and job hunting, otherwise we could have had a family reunion dinner.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for Song Xiaomeng, as a Psychic-type trainer, to find a job.

But finding a job you like isn't that easy.

After all, the better the job, the more people compete for it, including many equally capable individuals.

With a sigh, Mu Yun soon arrived at the Asia-Europe Supermarket.

"Aunt Zhu? Uncle Song?"

As soon as Mu Yun entered the meat section, he saw Song Fu pushing two carts and following behind Aunt Zhu.

"puff!"

Upon seeing Mu Yun, Aunt Zhu's face immediately lit up with a smile. She put down the pork knuckle in her hand and waved happily at Mu Yun.

Song Fu's eyes lit up, and he pushed the cart over.

"Hey kid, your trip's over? When did you get back? You didn't even come over for a meal." Song Fu greeted him as he unloaded the stroller.

Mu Yun subconsciously took the cart and said, "Just a couple of days ago, I was thinking of buying some things to visit you and Aunt Zhu."

"Hey, don't bother buying anything. We have everything we need at home. Just showing up is enough." Song Fu patted Mu Yun on the shoulder.

Mu Yun pushed the cart, smiled, and didn't say anything.

"By the way, Uncle Song, why are you buying so much stuff? Are you working in the cafeteria's purchasing department now?"

Mu Yun glanced at the food in the cart. One cart contained rice, flour, and cooking oil, while the other contained various meats such as pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and goose.

They are all freshly slaughtered, not cheap synthetic meat.

"What purchasing department? Your Uncle Song has no connections, I can't do that kind of work."

"Isn't it going to be Aunt Song's birthday soon? We're going to send some food to her orphanage," Song Fu said.

Aunt Song, also known as Song Fu's wife, was a woman who appeared very approachable.

Unfortunately, she was in poor health and passed away at a young age.

Before leaving, what she was most worried about was Song Fu and his daughter, as well as the Lantian Orphanage that had raised her.

Therefore, every year on Aunt Song's birthday, Song Fu would buy some rice, noodles, cooking oil, and other food items and send them to her.

It's not a lot of money, it's the thought that counts.

"An orphanage."

Mu Yun sighed.

When he was a child, if he hadn't shown enough intelligence, he might have been taken to an orphanage to stay temporarily.

"Want to go take a look together?"

Seeing Mu Yun's wistful expression, Song Fu asked him a question.

"Sure, I've got nothing else to do."

Mu Yun pushed the cart and said.

Soon, after Mu Yun took the initiative to complete the payment, the two people and the elf got into Song Fu's SUV and drove to the Blue Sky Orphanage.

Lantian Orphanage is located in a remote suburb of Songjiang City. The location is remote and the prices are cheap.

Although it's remote, the smooth roads connecting the two areas make travel easy.

"arrive."

Song Fu parked the car in front of the orphanage and said.

Mu Yun got out of the car and was greeted by a gate that looked a bit old.

Although it looks old, the door is not dirty or messy; on the contrary, it has been wiped clean and shines brightly.

Clearly, the people living in the courtyard are very clean and diligent.

"Xiao Song, you're here!"

An elderly woman with a face full of wrinkles walked out of the yard, supported by a long-eared rabbit dressed in a fluffy nanny uniform with sleeves on its arms.

"You come every year, thank you so much!"

"Dean Lu, what's the trouble? It's just a matter of warming up the car," Song Fu said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, this is my student. We happened to run into each other, so he came along." Song Fu pointed to Mu Yun beside him.

"Dean Lu, hello, this is Mu Yun."

After a brief greeting, Mu Yun and Song Fu followed Dean Lu into the orphanage.

Because of its remote location and special land use characteristics, land prices here are very cheap, and the land area is naturally very large.

The spacious courtyard is shaded by trees and lush with vegetation. There are even many gentle and harmless creatures such as green caterpillars and butterfly butterflies living in the courtyard.

Occasionally, a few short little radish heads would peek out from behind the tree, looking at Mu Yun and the others who were carrying food.

"Dean Lu, it seems there are a lot of people coming to adopt this year."

Song Fu glanced at the children in the courtyard and sighed.

He remembered that when he came last year, there were many children in the yard, but he didn't expect there to be so many fewer this year.

It seems quite a few have been adopted.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Fu finished speaking, a look of self-reproach and sorrow appeared on Dean Lu's aged face.

The long-eared rabbit beside her gently supported her back, as if to comfort her.

"Ugh."

Dean Lu sighed.

Song Fu immediately realized what was happening and stopped talking.

Mu Yun also frowned slightly, but not because of Dean Lu's sigh, but because of a wave guide that was both irritating and malicious in the courtyard.

"Let's not talk about that. You've come all this way, so let's have a simple meal. Ping An bought a lot of things today," Dean Lu said.

"Lu Ping'an, speaking of which, he'll be going to high school next year, right? How about it, is he able to get into Songjiang No. 1 High School?" Song Fu immediately chimed in.

Hearing this, a rare look of pride appeared on Dean Lu's aged face: "This child has been smart and sensible since he was little, he'll definitely be fine. I'll have to trouble you to keep a close eye on him for me!"

Just then, a boy with a youthful face walked out of the house and ran over with a bright smile.

"Grandma Dean!"

He shouted, and upon seeing Song Fu, his smile widened.

But when he saw Mu Yun beside Song Fu, he paused and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, could it be that someone is coming to our door demanding a refund?

No, he's not selling counterfeit goods, so what's he feeling guilty about!

"Ping An, come quickly and help your Uncle Song with his things. This is your Uncle Song's student, your future senior, Mu Yun."

Dean Lu waved to Lu Ping'an with a smile.

Lu Pingan gave Mu Yun an awkward smile: "Hello, Senior Mu Yun!"

"Hello there."

Mu Yun nodded and smiled.

He could sense the tension emanating from the other party's waveguide.

Unsurprisingly, it was probably because he was selling information at the newbie battle arena this morning.

Seeing Mu Yun's friendly smile, Lu Ping'an's tension eased considerably. He obediently took the bag from Song Fu and followed the others into the house.

"Dean Lu!"

As soon as they entered the house, they saw a middle-aged woman in a nanny uniform standing at the door, greeting them.

"Brother Song, it's been a long time."

"It's Xiao Gao. Long time no see. You don't look too well. You need to get more rest."

"I've been busy lately, but things will get better soon." Xiao Gao managed a weak smile.

Seeing how familiar the group was, Mu Yun remained expressionless, but secretly memorized the person's waveguide characteristics.

Because it was this person who just revealed his malice.

But this malice wasn't directed at him and Song Fu; it seemed to be directed equally at every outsider.

Judging from the tone of their conversation, this person's usual conduct was clearly quite good.

"Ping An, take your Uncle Song and the others over first," Dean Lu called out.

"Okay, Grandma Director!"

After Lu Ping'an led Mu Yun and Song Fu away, Dean Lu whispered to Xiao Gao, "How's it going? Any new developments at the police station?"

"No, they've been trying their best to follow up, but too much time has passed, there are too few clues, and it was raining continuously at the time, so they couldn't find anything." Xiao Gao shook his head, his tone filled with sorrow.

"Sigh, it's all my fault. I insisted on taking the kids on a spring outing, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

"How can you blame yourself, Director? The spring outing is the most anticipated event for our orphanage children every year. Blame me! If I hadn't sprained my ankle that day and couldn't go, this wouldn't have happened. Now it's been over two months, and those children... sigh..."

..............................

"The child is missing?"

From a distance, Mu Yun overheard the conversation between Dean Lu and Xiao Gao.

Since activating the special mission module "Path to Investigator Growth," he has been releasing waveguide probes from time to time.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see if there would be any unexpected gains.

Surprisingly, it actually exists.

I wonder if the disappearance of the children from the orphanage is related to dark forces.

As for whether it was simply an accidental disappearance?

Mu Yun thought it was unlikely.

If it were a past life, then it might be possible.

But in this world where elves exist, even ordinary local police stations will inevitably have elves who can detect scents.

If it still can't be found, it's really hard not to suspect that there might be human intervention involved.

After thinking about it, Mu Yun decided to give Xiao Gao a try later.

With the skill of real interrogation, intelligence gathering becomes a piece of cake.
