Chapter 265
The Male Dean floored the accelerator, pushing the speed to its limit.
To climb the mountain, the wheels of his SUV began to spin.
He had never driven so recklessly before. Finally, the car came to a steady stop at the back door.
The back door was closer to his office, which was how he had designed it. In case anything went wrong, it would be convenient for a quick escape.
The Male Dean's palms were sweaty. He unlocked the door and immediately rushed up the stairs, taking three steps at a time.
As soon as he entered his office, he noticed a dark figure inside.
In that instant, blood rushed to the Male Dean's head.
The intruder wore a large mask. Seeing him, they remained calm. His safe was open, and the intruder held a stack of documents from inside, tapping them casually.
The Male Dean's anger soared to the heavens. In that moment, he even forgot his own lack of physical strength.
He immediately drew a knife from his waist and lunged at the intruder.
His mind was focused on one thought: he absolutely could not let the intruder take these files.
The intruder had no desire for a prolonged fight, but didn't drop what was in their hands.
The Male Dean steeled himself, aiming to take the intruder's life.
Though the Male Dean was no professional, he had been working out over the years.
His strength was decent. Just then, he heard the Fat Woman's cursing voice from outside: "Damn it, who the hell is up at this hour? I'll beat you little bastards to death if I find out."
The Male Dean felt a surge of hope.
He was struggling to control the thief on his own.
But with the Fat Woman's help, he was confident they could overpower the intruder.
At this moment, the Male Dean asked, "Who sent you?"
He quickly realized: "Was it Shen Wei who sent you?"
How coincidental that right after Shen Wei left, someone came to steal documents.
The key was that this particular file was top secret.
The Male Dean hadn't thought of Shen Wei initially, but could things really be this coincidental?
Thinking this, the Male Dean felt goosebumps all over his body.
The other party must have sensed something before leaving, coupled with what that damn girl had blurted out.
Even as the Male Dean was grappling with the masked man,
He could still spare a thought for other matters.
If he had known earlier, he should have killed that little girl.
She really was nothing but trouble.
Just then, suddenly, a voice broke through the door: "Freeze!"
Then a group of armed police officers rushed in.
The Male Dean's heart sank, and he instinctively raised his hands.
Then came a crisp sound of metal hitting the floor as the knife dropped.
The Fat Woman was so frightened by the situation outside that she nearly wet herself.
Trembling, she was escorted in by two police officers.
The Fat Woman said, "I have nothing to do with this!"
The Male Dean was nearly in despair. He couldn't let them get that document.
In a final desperate move, he charged towards the masked man, intending to tear up the paper and swallow it, just like in the movies.
The list of names on it was a matter of life and death.
Although his sudden burst of energy caught the other off guard,
The opponent was a security professional found by the team. A young man freshly discharged from the military, in his prime, there was no way the Male Dean could easily overpower him.
The earlier struggle was because he wanted to fully document the evidence, showing some restraint. In a real confrontation, even ten Male Deans wouldn't be a match.
So with one dodge, the Male Dean twisted his back. He tried to charge again.
But the opportunity was lost.
He was already considered a dangerous individual, so with a loud bang,
Accompanied by a scream of pain, a large hole appeared in his leg.
The police escorted the Male Dean and the Fat Woman out.
Outside, many cars were parked.
In an instant, the Male Dean's face turned ashen.
Shen Wei, Gu Qingyan, and the Volunteer arrived at the orphanage after receiving notification. It was already 1:30 AM.
The entire orphanage was brightly lit.
Gentle Female Police Officers were maintaining order here, while also taking care of the children.
To prevent the children from exhibiting any extreme behaviors.
However, their concerns were unnecessary.
These children were dazed and unresponsive, showing no reaction to the major events unfolding around them.
The Volunteer wanted to find the twelve-year-old Little Girl.
But was informed: "That child has been taken to the hospital. She had multiple fractures and was covered in blood!"
When the Female Police Officer carried the girl to the ambulance,
The girl's alarmingly light weight and her body covered in injuries made her want to beat the Male Dean to a pulp. He was hardly human.
Only now did the Volunteer learn of the enormous crimes committed at the orphanage.
It wasn't just about reselling goods.
There were also some gray industry practices.
Those things were unspeakable, particularly disgusting.
Besides that, there was child abuse, and the Male Dean and Fat Woman's monetary and sexual transactions, all criminal matters.
More importantly, they had obtained the dean's phone.
The contents of the safe were also retrieved. The Male Dean had kept leverage on the wealthy people he worked for.
To prevent them from betraying him. This had been his lifeline in the past.
Now it became evidence for the court.
The evidence was so solid that there was no room for argument.
More importantly, it implicated many well-known figures in the business world.
Each of them presented a highly respectable image on the surface, while engaging in these despicable acts behind the scenes.
The Volunteer's tears flowed quickly: "I can't believe I didn't notice!" She was the person who had visited the orphanage the most.
Before, she had only thought these children were introverted.
Possibly due to the special environment of the orphanage.
She had no idea these children had been living under the control of such scum for years.
The Volunteer raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.
The crisp sound made even those around her wince in sympathy.
Unsatisfied with just one slap, she raised her hand to strike again.
The first slap had already drawn blood from the corner of her mouth.
As she was about to deliver the second slap, Shen Wei caught her hand precisely: "There are still many things to handle here, don't be too impulsive. Besides, this isn't your fault."
Hearing that there were still follow-up matters to attend to, the Volunteer regained her composure.
The next steps involved providing psychological treatment for all these children.
Trying to find adoptive families for them as much as possible.
If not, then finding foster families.
If all else failed, the children would be transferred to other orphanages.
The Volunteer said: "Don't worry, this time I'll make sure every child is properly taken care of."
The Volunteer looked at Shen Wei with gratitude in her eyes. If it weren't for Shen Wei's intervention,
Even if she had known about this situation, she would likely have been powerless to change anything.
After all, this vicious Male Dean had formed a massive network with wealthy individuals.
They were untouchable.
Ordinary citizens would find it nearly impossible to shake their power.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wei came in and managed to blow the lid off everything.
Such a major discovery in just one day.
It was clear how much effort Shen Wei had put in behind the scenes.
The Volunteer's heart was full of gratitude.
It took an entire day to process everything.
That night, many high-level executives from various companies were taken away.
All their phones were confiscated.
The sudden turn of events led many to inquire online.
But no one knew exactly what had happened.
After three days, an announcement was finally made.
"Following a report from concerned citizens, the orphanage dean Chen X, 45 years old, has been arrested by the police on suspicion of child abuse, fraud, sexual transactions, and other offenses."
This news was quickly buried in the vast sea of internet information.
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
People didn't think too deeply about it. But there were smart individuals in the companies whose bosses had been taken away and never returned. Everyone was vying for the vacant positions.
Although they didn't know what their bosses had done, there would be no place for them if they returned.
Corporate struggles are always merciless.
