Chapter 776 - 776: Bringing Someone to You

The Jiangcheng Welfare Institute is not too far from the city center, right next to an agricultural market.

At the moment, Nie Longjiao was knocking on each dormitory door, calling the children in the welfare institute to get up, wash, and eat breakfast.

After all the children were up, an elderly woman who looked around sixty, kind-faced, and wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing Nie Longjiao in the courtyard, the elderly woman wiped her hands on the apron, gritted her teeth, and walked over.

"Aunt Qiao, you seem to have something to say?"

"Well, it's like this..." The elderly woman, a little embarrassed, said, "It's been two months without a salary, and my grandson is still in kindergarten. My son and daughter-in-law also have difficulties. We can't rely on them for everything."

Nie Longjiao nodded knowingly and smiled: "Don't worry, Aunt Qiao, I'll deliver the two months' salary to you before dinner."

"It's alright, it's alright, no rush, even one month's salary is fine," the elderly woman said, waving her hand.

She knew the situation of Nie Longjiao. All the expenses of the entire welfare institute went through her hands. Although there were kind-hearted people from society who donated, it could only solve temporary problems.

After a moment of silence, the elderly woman asked, "That child Simian, hasn't been found yet?"

"There's no news for now," Nie Longjiao said with furrowed brows: "I shouldn't have let him go to the market for me."

The elderly woman consoled: "It's not entirely your fault. It's been almost five years since Auntie came here. Over these years, everything has been on you, a girl in her early twenties. It must have been hard for you."

Saying this, the elderly woman took out three hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Nie Longjiao: "Take this and buy something nice for Xin Qi."

"Aunt Qiao, please keep your money, there's no need for you to give it," Nie Longjiao refused.

"I can't contribute much, but if it's small money, I can give a little. Speaking of which, Xin Qi is also unfortunate, such a good child, why did she have to get leukemia?"

After finishing, she forcibly placed the money into Nie Longjiao's hands and said, "You go ahead, I'll go serve the kids their meals."

Nie Longjiao looked at the three hundred yuan in her hand and smiled bitterly.

The leukemia surgery costs 300,000 yuan, needing 1,000 three hundreds to make up the amount. To say it's a drop in the bucket is not an exaggeration.

As she was staring at the three hundred yuan in a daze, a somewhat familiar voice came from the entrance: "Hey beautiful, we meet again."

Upon hearing this, Nie Longjiao was startled, looked up, and widened her eyes: "It's you?!"

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to settle a score today."

"Then why are you here?"

"To bring someone to you."

"Bring someone?"

Xiao Feng nodded: "That's right, to bring someone."

After speaking, he gestured with his head: "Come in!"

Then, a long silence followed.

Xiao Feng frowned, watching Nie Longjiao, who was looking at him with an inexplicable gaze, then turned to look behind him.

Sure enough, there was nothing but empty space, not a single person in sight.

"Caw...caw...caw..."

It was as if the sound of crows appeared overhead, making the atmosphere extremely awkward.

Xiao Feng took big strides out of the door, and when he saw the hesitant little boy nearby who didn't dare to enter, he grabbed his arm and dragged him into the door.

"Tao Simian?" Nie Longjiao said in disbelief.

The little boy's eyes immediately turned red, and he ran towards her while crying, "Sister Jiao, I thought I'd never see you again!"

Nie Longjiao gently patted the boy's back, and after comforting him, she stood up and asked Xiao Feng: "What's going on?"

Before Xiao Feng could reply, Tao Simian said, "Thanks to this big brother who saved me."

Nie Longjiao nodded, knowing it wasn't the right time to ask for specific details, so she let him go eat first.

"Thank you!" Nie Longjiao said in gratitude, then explained: "He's a child who went missing from our institute."

Xiao Feng didn't respond, just observed the surrounding environment as if no one else was there.

It's not luxurious, but not shabby either, and the scale is nowhere near large.

"Why didn't you sell that ticket from last night to exchange for money?" Xiao Feng asked.

Nie Longjiao pondered: "There's a little girl in the institute with leukemia. Before her surgery, her biggest wish is to attend Chai Yanna's concert.

I initially planned to steal a ticket from a scalper. Unexpectedly, your friend tried to take advantage of me because he had money, and in my anger, I got back at him."

Xiao Feng sneered and said: "And after stealing the ticket, you still weren't satisfied, so you stole the steering wheel?"

At these words, Nie Longjiao blushed: "I did go too far with that. You can take the steering wheel, and please help me apologize to him."

After finishing, she pointed to a rocking car in the courtyard with almost all the primer exposed.

The steering wheel from Wang Lubo's business car was now installed on the rocking car.

"Is this welfare institute run by you?" Xiao Feng changed the subject.

"Yes, I run it," Nie Longjiao nodded, habitually introducing: "It was founded five years ago, and now besides the staff, there are a total of thirty-one people here."

Xiao Feng chuckled casually and asked: "With your skills, the welfare institute shouldn't be like this."

Nie Longjiao's expression changed, and after glancing at the children lining up for food not far away, she walked toward the market outside the gate.

Xiao Feng followed behind, and only when they reached the nearby agriculture market did he hear her speak: "If I were to steal openly, it wouldn't be like this now.

Let's not mention other places, just in this agricultural market, if I went once in the morning and once in the evening, it would be enough to cover the welfare institute's expenses for a month.

However, who can guarantee that the money stolen doesn't include someone's life-saving funds?

Plotting for wealth but harming lives is something I cannot do."

"So every time you make a move, you investigate the person being stolen from beforehand?" Xiao Feng asked out of curiosity.

Nie Longjiao nodded: "More or less, like that friend of yours, Wang Lubo. He's an investor from Kyoto, inherently unscrupulous, thinking only about how to make money.

Such a person doesn't lack money, so if I steal from him, it's just stolen."

"How do you know Wang Lubo is unscrupulous?" Xiao Feng, due to their friendship, naturally wanted to defend Bozai a little.

"Hmph!" Nie Longjiao snorted coldly: "A month ago, I sent his company an email explaining the operations of the welfare institute.

I hoped that if circumstances allowed, he could be generous and offer some level of assistance.

Guess how he responded?"

"How did he respond?"

"He actually wanted me to sign a betting agreement, demanding that half of the thirty-one children must be admitted to Qingbei before agreeing to sponsor," Nie Longjiao said angrily.

"What if that's not possible?" Xiao Feng pursued.

Nie Longjiao became even angrier and snapped: "If not, we have to give up the land. What's worse, even if they get into Qingbei, they must work at his company for five years after graduation. Isn't this being a vampire?"

Xiao Feng was stunned, thinking that Bozai's shamelessness surpassed even his own.

Spit, spit, spit!

He was a person with integrity and shouldn't be compared to someone without it.
