"Young master, the situation is a little complicated."

Luo Shiqing looked at Ye Chen and continued, "You will know when you see the old dean. ”

Ye Chen frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone and dialed the old dean's number.

"Your call is currently unanswered, please call again later."

Leaving Baicaotang, Ye Chen stopped the car and rushed towards the place where the old dean was.

The old dean may know something about his own background.

In that fire, everything in the Angel Orphanage was burned down, including those orphan files.

Ye Chen wanted to know how he came to the Angel Orphanage in the first place, and he could only learn from the old dean.

The eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng, a slum.

Ye Chen turned around and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

"Knock knock, is anyone home?"

Ye Chen knocked on the courtyard door, feeling a little apprehensive.

Judging from Luo Shiqing's expression, the old dean's situation is probably not optimistic.

"Who?"

After a while, a weak and old voice came from the courtyard.

"Old dean, it's me, I'm Xiaochen."

"Xiao Chen?"

The courtyard door opened, and an old woman with white hair and ragged clothes appeared in front of Ye Chen.

At this time, the old woman's eyes were cloudy, and she reached out and groped for something, as if she could not see.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's eyes were a little moist, and he hurriedly supported the old dean.

"Old Dean, what's wrong with you?"

The old dean asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Old Dean, I'm Xiao Chen."

Ye Chen's tears slipped down and continued: "That naughty Xiao Chen, don't you know me? ”

Back then, the old dean was kind to him, even if he was naughty and mischievous, but he taught himself softly every time, and never got angry with him.

Not only that, whenever Ye Chen was bullied by those big kids, the old dean would also stand up and teach those guys a lesson.

"Xiao Chen? Is it really you? It's a pity that I can't see it anymore. ”

The old dean stroked Ye Chen's cheek, very excited.

"Old dean, I'd better help you in, let's have a good chat."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

From the mouth of the old dean, Ye Chen finally understood everything.

When the old dean returned from a business trip, he learned that the Angel Orphanage had been burned down by fire, and everyone had lost their lives.

The kind-hearted old dean was so sad that he washed his face with tears every day and blinded his eyes by crying.

Without the Angel Orphanage, the old dean couldn't see anything, so he could only pick up some scraps every day to make ends meet.

"Old Dean, don't you have a son and a daughter? Didn't they take care of you? ”

Ye Chen's face was a little gloomy, and these children were too much.

The old dean was also their mother no matter how she said it, how could she leave when she needed it most?

Before the old dean could speak, the door of the courtyard was violently kicked open, followed by an angry scolding.

"Dead old woman, where did you die, don't come out quickly!"

Hearing this, the old dean trembled, obviously frightened.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's face sank, and a murderous moment appeared in his heart.

"Xiao Chen, you leave quickly, my son has a bad temper, don't hurt you."

At this time, the old dean was still concerned about Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's heart warmed, and he comforted: "Old dean, don't worry, with Xiaochen here, no one can bully you." ”

"Dead old woman, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? ”

At this moment, a strong man in black short sleeves broke in, full of alcohol.

"Quick, give me the money, I don't have so much time to talk nonsense with you!"

As soon as the strong man grabbed the old dean's shoulder, he began to shake violently.

"Didn't I just give it to you the day before yesterday? I haven't sold the rags I picked up, where is the money for you? ”

The old dean's body trembled slightly, and his face was full of panic.

This drunken man was none other than her unassuming son.

I have nothing to do all these years, so I only know to ask her for money.

I used to come once a week, but recently it's getting more and more excessive, and I come every three days.

"No money? If you don't have any money, why don't you hurry up and pick up the rags, what are you doing in the house? ”

Hearing that the old dean had no money, the drunken strong man was furious and pushed him to the ground.

After overthrowing the old dean, he didn't seem to be enjoying it, and he wanted to kick it when he raised his foot.

Who knows, before this kick fell, he felt a pain in his chest, and the whole person flew out upside down and smashed outside the courtyard.

I spit out all the drinks that had just been in my stomach.

Ye Chen helped the old dean up and said with concern: "Old dean, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." The old dean shook his head.

"Stinky boy, I'll kill you!"

The drunken strong man was full of anger, grabbed the wooden stick next to him, and rushed towards Ye Chen.

Hearing the movement, the old dean looked panicked.

"Xiao Chen, you go quickly, that guy doesn't have a serious attack, you will be injured."

She knows best what kind of temperament her son has.

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Old Dean, I'll be fine." ”

With such a drunkard, how could he hurt him?

"Die!"

The drunk smashed Ye Chen's head with a wooden stick without sparing his hand.

Wine is intimidating, and under the stimulation of alcohol, how can he think so much.

Ye Chen's face was full of disdain, and he smashed out with a punch, and the drunk flew out upside down again.

This time, the drunk struggled for a long time and never got up again.

"If you let me know that you are bullying the old dean again, I will abolish you!"

Ye Chen stepped on the drunkard's chest, and the violent coercion suddenly exploded.

The drunk wanted to refute something, but he felt as if he was being targeted by death, and he couldn't breathe at all.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"

The old dean didn't hear any movement for a long time, and walked out of the house tremblingly.

"Remember what I said!"

Ye Chen put away the coercion and kicked the drunk out of the courtyard with one kick.

"Boy, you wait for me!"

The drunk coughed violently, left a cruel word, and limped away.

"Old Dean, do you remember how I came to the Angel Orphanage?"

After sitting down again, Ye Chen asked the most critical question.

To be honest, he really wanted to get some clues about his background from the old dean.

"It was a snowy night, and you were a baby at the door of the orphanage."

The old dean paused for a moment and continued: "At that time, it seems that you had just been born for a short time, and you had nothing on you except a jade pendant. ”

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? ”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, he had never heard of any jade pendants.

"That jade pendant is too precious, so I put it away for you."

With that, the old dean got up and walked towards the desk beside him.

"The reason why I put away the jade pendant is because I am afraid that you will accidentally break it, and secondly, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble."

That jade pendant is not ordinary at first glance, if it is seen by bad people, it will inevitably be a disaster.

"This is the jade pendant, and now it can be regarded as the return of the object to its original owner."

Opening the secret compartment on the desk, the old dean took out a simple brocade box from it and handed it to Ye Chen.

"I don't know what the wooden box is made of, but it wasn't burned by the fire."

After the fire, the old dean also thought that the wooden box would be burned, but he didn't expect it to be unharmed.
