"They found good jobs and left the orphanage to work," Director Mogg replied.

With the groundwork laid by Dean Pei Si earlier, and considering that some children in the other orphanages Lu Yuan visited also went out to work, Lu Yuan didn't say much about Dean Mog's answer.

He simply looked at the remaining ten small gifts and sighed softly.

"Dean Mog, I'll leave these gifts here. If these children return to the orphanage in the future, please give them to them for me," Lu Yuan said.

These gifts are all household items, so there's no need to worry about their expiration dates; they can be kept for a while without any problems.

A hint of impatience flashed in Dean Mog's eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and said nothing, only giving a vague agreement.

After finishing everything, Lu Yuan and Brown left the Smailan Orphanage.

Just as I turned a corner, I heard a child's voice coming from behind me.

"Lord Lu Yuan, wait for me."

Lu Yuan stopped and turned around, only to see a little boy running towards him.

Lu Yuan recognized the little boy; he was a child from the Smailan Orphanage.

When the little boy ran up to her, Lu Yuan squatted down and asked softly.

"I remember your name is Lynn, right? What can I do for you?"

"Sir, you are a good insect, could you please help me?"

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lu Yuan thought the little boy would make requests related to food or other necessities.

Lynn bit her lip, then grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and ran in another direction.

Lu Yuan offered no resistance and ran forward with Lynn's momentum, with Brown naturally following closely behind.

However, Lynn's behavior made Lu Yuan begin to wonder what could have made this little kid so cautious.

Lynn pulled Lu Yuan into an abandoned house. After everyone had stopped, Lynn clutched the hem of her clothes and stammered.

"Lord Lu Yuan, could you help me rescue Ace, Aman, and Iser? They are my best friends from the orphanage."

"What happened to them? Why use the word 'rescue'?"

"They...they've been locked up by Dean Mog. Dean Mog is going to sell them to the Netherlands Corporation."

"Huh, what?!" Lu Yuan's mouth dropped open in shock.

Lynn told Lu Yuan that the Nedland Company's "work bugs" had come to Smilen Orphanage twice to recruit bugs.

The first time, seven insects were recruited and left; the second time, three insects were recruited: Ace, Aman, and Iser.

Lynn and the others were good friends. The group of insects had originally planned to work together at the Netherlands Company, but Lynn was not selected.

After all, they were still children and couldn't control their emotions well. Because she couldn't be with her good friends, Lynn was very unhappy and made a fuss about not letting Ace and the others go to the Netherlands Company.

Ace, Aman, and Iser were also reluctant to part with Lynn, so after discussing it, they decided to give up the job opportunity.

Since the Netherland Company's work bugs were brought by Dean Mog, Ace, Aman, and Iser said they should still tell Dean Mog about their decision not to go.

Unexpectedly, after being told this, the insect disappeared.

When Lynn couldn't see the three insects return, he hurriedly went to ask Dean Mog if he knew where they were. Dean Mog told Lynn that Ace, Aman, and Iser had already reported to the Netherlands Company.

Lynn didn't believe it, so he secretly searched all over the orphanage for traces of Ace and the others.

Finally, in a secluded spot, Lynn found the code left to him by Ace and the others. Following the code, Lynn finally found Ace, Aman, and Iser, who were locked in a basement.

Upon seeing Lynn, they told him that it was Dean Mogg who had locked them up here.

They had previously gone to Dean Mog to tell him they didn't want to go to the Netherlands Company. Dean Mog tried to persuade them for a long time, but when he couldn't convince them, he revealed his true colors and tied them up in the basement.

They also said that since they had been hired by the Netherlands Company, they were not allowed to refuse to go. They would wait a few days for the Netherlands Company to come and pick up the insects, and then they would obediently follow them.

Lynn wanted to rescue his friend, but as a child, he was no match for Dean Mogg.

Just as he was desperately trying to find a solution, Lu Yuan happened to arrive today.

Hearing that Lu Yuan was a bug from the foundation that donated to the orphanage, Lynn thought Lu Yuan must be a good bug. In addition, Lu Yuan was accompanied by a female bug who seemed very powerful, so Lynn decided to ask Lu Yuan for help.

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Lu Yuan cursed Dean Mog in his heart. He felt that a child as young as Lynn would not lie to insects, so the problem must lie with Dean Mog.

Lu Yuan naturally wanted to rescue the child as soon as possible, but then he thought of what happened at the Yasley Orphanage and worried that if he rushed in recklessly, he might cause trouble again.

What if there's a big boss in Smailan Orphanage? He might end up getting himself killed instead of saving the bug.

At this point, Brown made a suggestion.

"Sir, how about I go to the orphanage tonight to check things out? Once I've figured things out, we can discuss what to do next."

"Can you, an insect, manage this?"

"No problem, there are no insects in that orphanage that can rival me."

Brown carefully inquired about the location of the basement where the children were being held, then persuaded Lynn to go home first, and then Brown accompanied Lu Yuan back to the hotel.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after saying goodbye to Lu Yuan, Brown set off to sneak into the Smilen Orphanage at night.

Lu Yuan waited in his room for Brown to return, and Rhine kept him company online.

By 12:30 a.m., Lu Yuan was starting to feel restless, but Brown still hadn't returned.

Rhine advised Lu Yuan to go and rest first.

"But Rhine hasn't come back this late. Could something have happened to Brown?" Lu Yuan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I know Brown's abilities. He'll be fine."

With Rhine's assurance, Lu Yuan felt relieved and went to sleep.

Rhine also released his hand that had been pinching his thigh. Even though Brown was someone he had sent to Lu Yuan's side, he still felt jealous when Lu Yuan was worried about Brown.

The first thing Lu Yuan did after waking up the next morning was to go find Brown.

"Brown, have you found anything?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Your Excellency, Lynn is right. Dean Mog did indeed lock Ace, Aman, and Iser in the basement so that they would obediently go to work for the Netherlands Company."

"The three children don't know why Dean Mogg did this, and I haven't found the reason yet," Brown said.

After hearing Brown's words, Lu Yuan cursed out loud, "You, Mog, as the director of an orphanage, actually sell children. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning on the street?"

Seeing Lu Yuan's indignant expression, Brown asked.

"Sir, what do you suggest we do next?"

"I already have an idea."
