Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 1159: The Orphanage Deal

"What does Mu Xinghan have to do with them?" Su Wanxin frowned deeply. "Please don’t tell me that he’s the mastermind behind all this, or that he’s one of the major shareholders."

"What if he is?"

"I’m afraid that the next time I see him, I won’t be able to resist smashing his head."

Su Wanxin said this with particular seriousness, fearful that Fu Shihan might nod and confirm her suspicions as truth.

"Although I’d be quite eager to see such a scene, I have to tell you that it’s not what you’re thinking." Fu Shihan sighed in disappointment and said, "He’s been investigating these people for some years, and it’s about time to wrap it up."

"Investigating... so your meaning is..." Su Wanxin pondered for a moment, then quickly understood his meaning. "Really?!"

"Yes." Fu Shihan nodded, "However, very few people know about this. I sought him out this time to have him help with the dark web issue."

"I thought you were looking for him because... of wanting to restore your memory." Su Wanxin murmured softly, digesting this sudden truth.

She had known Mu Xinghan for so long, had even relied heavily on him for a period. Yet all these years, she hadn’t discovered even a hint of Mu Xinghan having such an additional identity.

She was aware he often traveled around the world, his whereabouts always unclear. But he always had his own explanations, with evidence showing his clients were truly worldwide, his reputation as a Taoist was quite renowned.

To arrange a ritual with Mu Xinghan, it was said one had to book at least half a year in advance, and pay the full amount upfront.

So none, including Su Wanxin and Mu Suyu, ever imagined that he would use such an identity to secretly engage in that sort of activity.

One was the image of a con artist, the other a righteous police officer. Su Wanxin spent quite some time processing, yet still found it incredible.

She looked up at Fu Shihan and asked again, "What else have you found out? Have you discovered Cheng Yao’s identity?"

"Discovered some, quite interesting."

Cheng Yao is not only a leader of the organization, but also once a victim of the organization.

She was trafficked overseas at a young age, Fu Shihan did not discover exactly what age she was sold, but judging from the actions of this group now, Cheng Yao must not have been more than ten years old when they chose her.

Moreover, not just Cheng Yao, but the orphanage where Su Wanxin once stayed also had many children sold by that unscrupulous director.

Whenever Fu Shihan thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel fearful.

If, back then, he hadn’t chosen Su Wanxin, or if he had arrived two years later, perhaps he would never have seen her again in his life. Or, he might have met her in some radically different form.

None of these scenarios were what he wanted.

Su Wanxin quietly listened to his words, recalling various past events, making her feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

The years at the orphanage were her nightmare, and what about others? For those abandoned children, the orphanage was one of the few places that would take them in, a home.

But when they realized that this home was a deep pit, from which they’d only sink deeper, they had no ability to escape.

Su Wanxin was lucky; from the moment Fu Shihan’s family visited the orphanage, she knew she was fortunate.

But what about those who weren’t lucky? What disasters did they suffer after she left?
