D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan took two steps toward the building, then stopped.

If the other party is an adult insect, Lu Yuan would definitely not get involved in this matter, but the young insects always easily arouse a sense of responsibility and protectiveness in the insects.

After hesitating and struggling for a moment, Lu Yuan went back to the courtyard first.

In the courtyard, Maggie was still standing there, looking a little anxious. Only when she saw Lu Yuan return did Maggie's expression finally relax.

"Sir, you're finally back! Why were you gone for so long? If you hadn't come back, I would have gone looking for you," Maggie said.

Maggie was startled when she didn't see Lu Yuan return for half a day.

You see, he was in charge of Lu Yuan's safety today. If anything happened to Lu Yuan, even just a bump or bruise, and the Xiongbao Association found out, he would be in deep trouble.

Besides, this Lady Lu Yuan's female ruler is none other than Rhine Hatton. If he finds out that he failed to protect his male ruler, he really can't imagine what he will suffer.

"It's almost time for today. All the activities are over, so we can head back now. I'll accompany you back to the aircraft," Maggie said.

Maggie thought she should take Lu Yuan home as soon as possible so she could finish get off work on time.

"No, I'm not going back yet, Maggie. Come with me somewhere," Lu Yuan said.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Maggie found it strange. Among the male insects who had come to the orphanage before, very few of them managed to complete the entire activity process. Why was this gentleman so unconventional today, refusing to leave even though he could go back?

"Just come with me."

After saying that, Lu Yuan walked towards the building where the cub had entered. Maggie had no choice but to follow.

From the outside, the building looks no different from the other buildings in the orphanage, all in a pale yellow hue and appearing very new. However, once you step inside, the difference becomes immediately apparent.

Previously, Lu Yuan had visited other buildings with the director, and they were all brand new, inside and out. At the time, Lu Yuan was amazed by how good the facilities of this orphanage were.

The building was very old inside, with the walls on both sides of the corridor being dilapidated and peeling off in large areas. The lighting equipment was old and dim, but fortunately it was broad daylight and the natural light was enough to see the way ahead.

The floor was very damp, but there were no stains, so it seemed to be cleaned regularly.

The corridor was lined with rooms on both sides, but the doors to each room were tightly closed, so the interiors could not be seen.

"Maggie, have you been here before?" Lu Yuan asked.

Maggie shook her head.

"I've never been here before. Every time we come to this orphanage, we follow the director's directions. As far as I can remember, we've never visited here before."

"Sir, let's go back. I don't think it's a good idea to wander around in this unfamiliar place," Maggie advised.

"Let's walk a little further ahead. I saw a cub I've never seen before run in. I want to find it. If we don't find it at the end of this road, we'll go back."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he continued walking forward, and Maggie had no choice but to follow closely behind.

After walking for a while, Lu Yuan finally saw a room with the door half-open.

Lu Yuan stood at the doorway and looked inside. Inside was the same cub he had seen earlier run out of the kitchen.

At that moment, the cub was holding a loaf of bread and feeding it to another cub lying on the bed.

The cub quickly sensed something was wrong at the door. He turned around and saw Lu Yuan and Maggie standing outside. His face immediately showed a look of horror.

Although he was trembling with fear, he still took a few steps forward, opened his little hands, and protected the other cub lying on the bed behind him.

Seeing the cub with tears welling up in its eyes, Lu Yuan felt his heart soften.

Lu Yuan didn't enter the room; he remained standing at the door, smiling and speaking in a gentle voice.

"Little friend, don't be afraid. I'm here to do charity work. I'm not a bad bug and I won't hurt you or your friends."

Perhaps it was because Lu Yuan didn't enter the room, or perhaps it was because of Lu Yuan's gentle voice, but in any case, after Lu Yuan finished speaking, the cub seemed a little more relaxed than before, and its outstretched little hands gradually lowered.

Seeing the cub's appearance, Lu Yuan's smile became even gentler.

"Little friend, can I ask you a few questions?"

The cub nodded silently.

"What's your name?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Elijah," the cub said in its tender voice.

Are you a child from this orphanage?

Elijah nodded again.

"How come I haven't seen you before? We were handing out gifts in the lobby this morning. Every child could receive one, and there were lots of delicious treats inside."

Elijah was silent for a moment before speaking.

"The dean said we all have to stay in our rooms obediently today and not go out."

Lu Yuan frowned. He thought that the dean had locked Elijah and his friends in a room without giving them food, and Elijah had gone to the kitchen to find something to eat because he was hungry.

But then he saw two bags of nutrient solution on the table in the room. It seemed that food had been provided. However, it was not good for the cubs to drink nutrient solution. The lunch in the cafeteria was so plentiful at noon. Lu Yuan did not understand why the dean would not let Elijah and his friends eat there.

Then Lu Yuan observed Elijah's room. The room was small, with two small beds and two small tables, almost filling it to the brim.

"Elijah, is this where you and your friends usually sleep?" Lu Yuan asked.

Elijah nodded.

Lu Yuan looked back down the corridor he had come from, and the doors to the rooms on both sides of the corridor were exactly the same as Elijah's.

"Elijah, are there other children like you in the other rooms? Did they all stay in their rooms today and not go out?"

Elijah nodded again.

Lu Yuan turned to look at Maggie, who also shook her head in confusion, indicating that she had never seen these cubs before.

Lu Yuan roughly estimated that there were about fifteen such rooms. If each room housed two cubs, then there would be about thirty cubs in total.

Why did the headmaster hide these thirty cubs and prevent them from receiving gifts and playing like the other cubs?

Is the headmaster deliberately bullying these cubs? Or is the headmaster trying to use these cubs for some evil purpose, and that's why he doesn't want the insects to discover their existence?

Lu Yuan's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts, and all sorts of conspiracy theories came to mind.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to ask another question, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Lord Lu Yuan, Maggie, what are you two doing here?"

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw the dean standing at the other end of the corridor, looking at them with a very unpleasant expression.
