Chapter 266: Chapter 195: The Strangeness Within the Welfare Institution! (Please Subscribe)

Under the clear sky and scorching sun.

However, in a place like the welfare institution, a huge dark cloud hung over it, with resentment and grievances breeding wildly, making Xu Yang feel uneasy. Xu Yang put away the “Heavenly Eye Skill” and couldn’t help asking, “officer Wang, does this welfare institution have any cases of child and elder abuse?” “How can that be possible?”

Officer Wang laughed, “Times have changed, formal welfare institutions are subject to regulations from many organizations. Although there might be individual instances of care workers secretly making mistakes, which are hard to avoid, the overall environment will never be bad.”

Xu Yang didn’t say anything.

He followed Officer Wang into the welfare institution, looking around.

The environment here was indeed good, the facilities were complete, children were playing on the slides, elderly people were playing chess, and care workers were pushing infirm elderly people out to sunbathe, warming the heart.

Because it was the weekend, many organizations came to the welfare institution to “donate love.”

They either sent supplies, taking photos with the institution’s people or, wearing company-branded clothes, did volunteer work in the welfare institution, picking up trash, watering plants…

People who came along were taking photos of the volunteers.

These photos were to be hung on the walls of their companies in the future.

Officer Wang’s daughter, Wang Silu, brought milk, snacks, and fruit, and called many children to hand them out.

However, the children just looked at her and did not dare to take them. It was not until a slightly overweight middle-aged woman with glasses in a light pink nurse’s uniform came over and said, “Just accept auntie’s kindness.” The children then took the snacks and fruit Wang Silu brought them. The woman continued, “Auntie brought some delicious food for you, what should you say?”

The children said in unison, “Thankyou, auntie!”

“Alright, go play!”

The woman gently rubbed the head of a little girl.

Xu Yang silently watched this scene, noticing that when the little girl’s head was touched, she seemed to be frightened, involuntarily closing her eyes and even shivering, as if she was terrified of the woman.

When the group of children dispersed, Wang Silu started chatting with the woman, praising the children for being sensible and polite.

From her expression, it was clear that she really liked children.

The woman then said, “Our institution places great emphasis on the education of school-aged children. The director even set up a kindergarten inside the institute and hired professional kindergarten teachers to teach.”

At the side.

Xu Yang pulled Officer Wang down and squatted in the shade of a tree.

“Officer Wang, how do you feel about this welfare institution?”

Handing Officer Wang a Chinese cigarette, Xu Yang lit one for himself and asked with a smile.

Officer Wang looked at Xu Yang in surprise.

Since entering the welfare institution, Xu Yang’s behavior had been somewhat abnormal, asking several times about the situation of the institution. Officer Wang thought to himself, “Master Xu is a wise man, he must have his reasons. Maybe this institution really does have some problems.”

In his mind, he could not help but think of South Korea’s infamous “House of Brothers Welfare Institution” case!

In 1975, South Korea proposed to create a “clean city” in order to bid for the Olympics, wanting to have no homeless people, drunks, or beggars on its streets and establish a good international image in advance for the Olympic bid. The “House of Brothers Welfare Institution” was established under these circumstances.

However, it became a nightmare for countless children.

Some children were even taken to the welfare institution just for playing on the streets… it was like hell on earth, with thousands of children subjected to inhumane treatment. Over ten years, more than 500 teenagers and children were killed, and countless children were trafficked!

However, such an organization existed in South Korea for more than thirty years until it was exposed in 2019.

Thinking of this, Officer Wang’s face turned serious.

He carefully observed everything in the welfare institution.

As an old police officer who had followed the front line in the pursuit of major criminal cases, even if he was getting older now, he still had a keen insight that ordinary people lacked.

After such insight, Officer Wang discovered that everything in the welfare institution seemed harmonious, but there was an eerie undertone!

However, he couldn’t exactly pinpoint what was so strange.

Xu Yang took a drag of his cigarette and said, “Officer Wang, why do you think we came to the shade of this tree to smoke?”

“It’s hot!”

Officer Wang said, “This summer is just too hot, with temperatures reaching 37

or 38 degrees Celsius at noon, who can bear it under the sun… huh?”

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze.

Under the blazing sun.

The children were playing on the seesaws and slides.

At this time, sitting on the seesaws and sliding down the slides would likely scorch their bottoms!

Although it seemed like twenty or thirty children were playing together, there was no playing and laughter. Everything was incredibly strange… especially the care worker who was pushing the elderly people out to sunbathe…

Who in their right mind would push elderly people to sunbathe at noon in the summer heat?

Isn’t that attempting murder?

Officer Wang stood up abruptly with anger on his face, but Xu Yang stopped him, saying, “Don’t be impulsive, let’s go see Master Ma’s mother and son first.”

Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang said, “I know where they are, I’ll take you there.”

The two of them entered the main building of the welfare institution.

However, they did not find the taxi driver’s mother in the ward.

Officer Wang found a care worker and asked, “Where is Ms. Feng Baolan who was receiving treatment in this ward?”

Feng Baolan was the name of the taxi driver’s mother.

The care worker, who apparently knew of Officer Wang’s identity, evaded his gaze and explained, “Officer Wang, you know… Aunt Feng’s health has always been poor. She suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a week ago, and our hospital’s medical equipment was too limited to save her…”

“Nonsense!”

Officer Wang angrily said, “Aunt Feng’s physical decline is due to her legs’ inconvenience, lying in bed for too long, causing her leg muscles to atrophy. But she can eat and drink, and there are no major problems with other aspects of her body. 1 had her undergo a comprehensive examination before sending her to your welfare home!”

The nurse stammered, “Aunt Feng is old, she has more underlying diseases, we didn’t want this either.”

“What about the corpse?”

Already suspicious, Officer Wang didn’t believe a word from the welfare home. He even wanted to take Feng Baolan’s body away and let his daughter identify the real cause of death!

The nurse bowed her head and said, “The body has been cremated… Yesterday,

our welfare home staff held a funeral for Aunt Feng.”

Bang!

Officer Wang slammed the table and angrily said, “Feng Baolan was sent here by our Litong District branch. You didn’t even give us a heads up before cremating her? Good, very good!”

At the side, Xu Yang, who hadn’t said a word, suddenly said, “Officer Wang,

let’s go see Ma Xiaotiao first.”

Ma Xiaotiao is Master Ma’s son’s name.

Perhaps because Ma Xiaotiao was not healthy since childhood, the father named him “Ma Xiaotiao,” hoping that one day his son could live a life of running and jumping like normal people.

Ma Xiaotiao has cerebral palsy and rickets.

At the age of fifteen, his height and weight were like a 7-8 years old, and his intellectual development was even lower, only around 3-4 years old.

There is almost no cure for this disease in science.

However, now that Xu Yang has entered the Dao, he may be able to try to help Ma Xiaotiao alleviate his symptoms.

But when they saw Ma Xiaotiao again, both Xu Yang and Officer Wang were stunned.

The little boy, who only had the height and weight of a 7-8 years old and couldn’t walk normally, had turned into a young man with a completely normal body, only his snotty nose and slightly dull eyes indicated that his intelligence had not fully recovered.

When he saw Xu Yang and Officer Wang, his eyes filled with hatred, he became incredibly agitated, and rushed towards Officer Wang, grabbing him by the throat with both hands, shouting “Bad people… you are bad people… give my dad back!”

His strength had become immense!

Officer Wang was overweight, weighing at least 145 kg, but Ma Xiaotiao lifted

him so much that his feet left the ground, strangling him so much that he couldn’t breathe and his face turned an incredibly red hue.

Xu Yang tapped Ma Xiaotiao’s wrist with a light touch. He winced in pain, screamed “Wa!”, stepped back while covering his wrist, and stared at Xu Yang and Officer Wang with teary red eyes, roaring, “Bad people… deserve to die!” Then…

He smashed the window with a bang, and jumped straight out.

They were on the third floor.

After smashing the window and jumping out, Ma Xiaotiao didn’t fall to the ground but floated in mid-air.

Xu Yang’s Dao aura erupted, and the immense power of the Dao technique restrained him.

He beckoned, and Ma Xiaotiao “flew” back in through the window. His flushed eyes emanated a red light that a normal person shouldn’t have, his face was ferocious, and he emitted a hoarse roar.

“What happened to him?”

Officer Wang rubs his neck, his face full of anxiety.

He had almost died just now.

Xu Yang took out a Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman and placed it on Ma Xiaotiao’s forehead. The red light in Ma Xiaotiao’s eyes quickly faded, his expression gradually returned to normal, and then he closed his eyes and fell into a swoon.

At this time…

The female nurse who had been following Officer Wang and Xu Yang suddenly attacked. She appeared behind Xu Yang, a small knife appeared in her hand, aimed at Xu Yang’s neck and stabbed viciously.

“Master Xu!”

Officer Wang’s pupils dilated, shouting.

The next moment…

Crack!

The small knife that stabbed Xu Yang’s neck broke apart. Xu Yang turned his

head and glanced at the nurse, who fainted with a roll of her eyes.

Xu Yang then sneered at the air, “Since you are hiding in this welfare home, you should know about the outside world… Don’t you know that my body is very strong? Just controlling an ordinary person, you want to hurt me too?”

All these changes left Officer Wang somewhat clueless. He checked the female nurse, saw that she still had a breath, and quickly asked, “Master Xu, what’s going on?”

Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds, then said, “This welfare home… someone

is practicing evil sorcery!”

“Evil sorcery?”

Officer Wang was about to ask when a scream came from outside. He ran to the window and saw his daughter being held hostage by a female nurse with a dagger on the lawn of the welfare home.

“Silu!”

Officer Wang was alarmed and rushed out.

Xu Yang took one step, jumped down from the third floor, and in the blink of an

eye, he was in front of Wang Silu.

The female nurse holding Wang Silu had strange red lights in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to let out an old, hoarse male voice.

“Master Xu!”

“I know that you are very powerful… I don’t want to be your enemy, let me go, and I will spare them… otherwise, today, even if I die, I will take some people to bury me!”

Xu Yang looked around.

He found that all the children, elderly people, and nurses moving around in the welfare home had disappeared, leaving only some bewildered people who came to the welfare home on weekends to “contribute love” and do “volunteer work.”

Then someone shouted, “Look… someone is going to jump off the building!”

Xu Yang looked up and saw that on the edge of the highest floor of the welfare home, as many as forty or fifty people were standing together, old people, children, and nurses, all with dull faces and red eyes, obviously under control!
