But the old director was still shocked by the decisiveness of this group of armed police.

Shooting to kill at the slightest disagreement...

Shouldn't there be a formality of "disarm without killing" first...

She originally thought of letting someone charge out and use the opportunity to divert the police's attention... unexpectedly, they were killed in an instant...

Considering everyone in the orphanage could be heard, having such an advantage should have given them a good chance of success...

But she clearly saw that Zhao Hu was cautious enough, yet was shot in the head the moment he showed up.

That accuracy, that reflex...

Since when did the local armed police force possess such combat capability?

Hmm... actually, the crux was the misleading "couldn't find the angle" that made Zhao Hu misjudge and relax his guard for an instant...

This truly is a case of human calculation not being as good as divine calculation, their advantage became Zhao Hu's death sentence.

Who could have anticipated tactical exchanges to be taken so lightly?!

Zhao Hu naturally died with eyes wide open, this bioweapon that was just successfully modified didn't even have the chance to play its role before dying meaninglessly to a cheap bullet.

But... although they lost a pawn, as long as the secret of the orphanage is preserved, it's all worth it...

"Little girl, are you okay?" someone stepped forward to help the coughing girl clutching her throat on the ground.

Seeing the little girl was fine, Chu Tian smiled, holstered his gun, and clapped his hands.

"Alright, mission accomplished, everyone start wrapping up. Xiao Hei, take someone inside for a round, ensure there's no other danger in the orphanage.

Get two people to move the kids first, take them to a safe place, arrange for doctors to treat them, check if necessary.

Make sure they don't suffer any psychological trauma.

Also, notify the families to come and identify the fugitive's body…"

Seeing the children being taken away, the old director opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but seeing the corpse on the ground.

People died, insisting on keeping the children in the orphanage in such a situation would surely raise suspicion...

Forget it, their instruments wouldn't find anything.

She glanced at a few armed police entering the small building of the orphanage.

Biochemical transformation and experiments naturally require a location, but the secret basement of the orphanage isn't something you can find by just casually glancing around.

Now that the people are dead, the police wouldn't bother with a thorough search.

Although Zhao Hu's body had modifications, usually in such scenarios, the police wouldn't conduct a detailed autopsy on an already dead fugitive, most likely it will soon be pushed into the incinerator.

Once the family claims the body, just send someone to make sure they destroy any evidence...

Going over every detail, confirming there wasn't any oversight, the old director finally took a long breath.

Thinking she narrowly resolved a crisis...

However, just as the children were being put onto a minibus...

[Sizzling ~ Captain, we found a basement in the orphanage, filled with surgical equipment, dried blood, and broken bones... Sizzling~]

Chu Tian's expression suddenly changed.

And just like him, the old director's face also turned pale!

This... how is this possible?!

Such a hidden basement entrance, no professional search could have found it in such a short time?

Wasn't it agreed to "take someone inside for a round"?

How could a casual round expose my biggest secret?

She didn't expect that Xiao Hei, who was mentioned, majored in civil engineering and had also worked as a tomb raider for a few years, a genuine "secret room expert"...

Couple that with a detailed guide from someone, finding a basement was a piece of cake!

Coincidence?

The old director felt an inexplicable fury.

Life is truly full of ups and downs.

Having hidden for so long, could all be lost due to this inexplicable coincidence?

"Ahem! Old director, the front vehicle is full, I suggest you ride with me on another vehicle."

Chu Tian revealed a smile without any noticeable change.

However, the tense muscles, racing blood and heartbeat, and the hand quietly reaching for the handcuffs at his waist... could not be hidden from the old director.

The veins beneath the skin on the back of her hand began to bulge, engraving the cane with her fingerprints...

What to do?

Her heart was in turmoil.

Finding such a bizarre basement in the orphanage, as the only adult, there's no way for her as the director to not be implicated.

Fortunately, there weren't many useful clues left inside.

As long as she claims all responsibility, firmly insists she's a child abuse-loving killer, and dies in prison as a strategy of shedding sin, the thread will break!

No one would associate it with any anomaly.

Even if they do, as long as there's enough time for arrangement, they could minimize the impact.

But... the series of unexpected events today have finally made her sense a hint of danger.

Why does it feel like everything is being controlled by someone else, step by step falling into an abyss according to another's script...

Now, in front of her lies a difficult choice.

Whether to fight to the end or surrender?

"Click!" In the midst of struggle, a pair of silver handcuffs were already locked on the old director's hands!

"Sorry, old director, we suspect you are involved in a child abuse and dangerous activity criminal case. Now officially notifying you, we need to take you back to the police station to assist in the investigation."
