Chapter 00110: The Scum Who Bullies Children

“That shameless old fool, let him die there,” Granny Liu cursed.

“What’s going on?” Lu Yunzheng’s eyes darkened, looking somewhat intimidating.

Dean Geng clearly didn’t want to discuss the matter, “Captain Lu, it’s nothing, you don’t need to worry about him.”

“As long as he’s in the orphanage, he’s our rescue target. Where is he now?” Lu Yunzheng asked.

Dean Geng didn’t respond, so Lu Yunzheng directly looked at Old Lady Liu.

Helpless, Granny Liu had no choice but to speak, “He’s been lying in the room the whole time, but…”

“But what?” Lu Yunzheng pressed.

Granny Liu replied, “He’s been asleep for a whole day.”

“Where is he? Take us there,” Lu Yunzheng instinctively felt that the helper’s simple one-day sleep might not be as it seemed. Their hidden attitude obviously suggested something more.

They wanted to refuse, but what could the two old women do? In the end, they obediently led them upstairs.

However, Luo Qianyun couldn’t focus on this matter right now because she was performing surgery on the helper.

Upstairs, the lighting was insufficient, making it hard to see things clearly.

Now, under better conditions, Luo Qianyun could clearly see that the wound where the leg had been severed was infected, swollen, and emitting a foul odor.

To clean the wound and remove necrotic tissue to prevent further infection, Luo Qianyun first rinsed the wound with saline.

When the man felt the pain, he gritted his teeth, his face paling.

But worse pain followed. After a preliminary examination, Luo Qianyun confirmed the bone was fractured and displaced. “Endure it, I need to realign the displaced bone.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s voice trembled with fear, “Doctor, can’t it be treated conservatively?”

“How can it be conservative when the bones are displaced? It’s necessary to restore the bone’s normal anatomical structure as much as possible,” Luo Qianyun replied. She had initially planned to ask Lin Xiaowan for help, but it was clear everyone was busy.

Not finding Lu Yunzheng, Luo Qianyun looked at Bai Minghui, “Hui, come help.”

“Okay, Sister… Dr. Luo!” Bai Minghui hurried over, following Luo Qianyun’s instructions and firmly holding the man’s leg.

Then, Luo Qianyun gripped both ends of the broken bone with steady hands, using her experience and skill to slowly realign the displaced bone.

This process was undoubtedly painful, and the man’s entire body tensed up, veins bulging on his forehead, and he let out pained screams.

He wanted to struggle but was held down by Bai Minghui.

Once the realignment was completed, Luo Qianyun thanked Bai Minghui and continued using tweezers to remove foreign material and dead tissue from the wound.

After cleaning the wound and carefully disinfecting it with iodine, Luo Qianyun took out the suturing needle and thread.

Due to the scarcity of anesthetics in the disaster area, and since she hadn’t expected to need anesthesia, Luo Qianyun had to ask the man to endure the pain.

Once everything was finished, Luo Qianyun wrapped the wound with clean gauze, and the man’s pale face was covered in sweat.

After reminding him of the necessary follow-up care, Luo Qianyun went to rest for a bit.

As she left the temporary “surgical room,” she saw Lu Yunzheng on the phone, his face serious.

After hanging up, Luo Qianyun approached, “What’s wrong?”

“That orphanage helper has been unconscious for a whole day, we don’t know what happened,” Lu Yunzheng said solemnly.

“How could this happen? Was he also injured by the collapsed building?” Luo Qianyun asked, puzzled. But if he had been injured by the collapse, why hadn’t Dean Geng mentioned it at the beginning?

“It’s not entirely that,” Lu Yunzheng thought for a moment, then lowered his voice, looking at the children, “I heard that last night, he was bullying children in that low house, and the helper found out. During their struggle, the house collapsed, and he lost consciousness.”

Bullying children…

Luo Qianyun was somewhat shocked, “Do you mean what I think it means?”

Lu Yunzheng nodded.

Instantly, Luo Qianyun felt disgusted by the man in his fifties who worked as a helper.

She had originally thought it was unsafe for the helper to be living with the children, but it seemed the man’s true nature was far worse than expected.

Luo Qianyun continued checking the children’s health, though most had no significant issues, and the psychological counseling was handled by another doctor.

After treating a little girl named Xiao Pingguo for a scraped knee, Luo Qianyun looked at her cute face and couldn’t resist pinching her cheek, “Xiao Pingguo, how old are you this year?”

“Four,” Xiao Pingguo answered, her voice sweet.

“Four, huh? What does Xiao Pingguo like to eat?” Luo Qianyun asked with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Pingguo said, “Little cakes.”

“Little cakes? My brother also likes little cakes,” Luo Qianyun laughed.

Hearing Luo Qianyun, Xiao Pingguo licked her lollipop and asked, “Does Sister like them?”

“I like them,” Luo Qianyun replied.

The next moment, Xiao Pingguo turned and ran off…

Luo Qianyun was momentarily stunned, but the little one was running so fast that she couldn’t stop her.

Lu Yunzheng walked over and sat beside Luo Qianyun, leaning against the wall with a somewhat lazy posture, but his eyes were fixed on her.

“Captain Lu, are you tired? If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t know that you only sleep for an hour at a time,” Luo Qianyun said, raising her hand to give his face a playful squeeze.

But his face didn’t feel soft at all, unlike Xiao Pingguo’s squishy cheeks.

“It’s fine. Once they send someone to take that helper away from the camp, I’ll be able to get some good rest tonight,” Lu Yunzheng said.

“Did they come specially at night to take him away because they’re afraid he’ll die here?” Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but express some disbelief.

Just thinking about how, despite his age, he had done such things to children, Luo Qianyun couldn’t stay calm about him.

Sensing her emotions, Lu Yunzheng reached out and took her hand, “Even if he’s a criminal, we still have to save him.”

Whether it’s him or her, they carried responsibilities that prevented them from acting based on their feelings.

Luo Qianyun naturally understood this, like the case a few days ago when a doctor was killed by a patient. The killer later jumped from a building but didn’t die instantly. He was taken into emergency care, and they still had to do their best to save him.

Even though he had just killed one of their colleagues.

At this moment, Luo Qianyun felt a bit weary and couldn’t help but rest her head on Lu Yunzheng’s shoulder.

As footsteps approached, Luo Qianyun saw Xiao Pingguo coming back. She straightened up, “Xiao Pingguo, you’re back.”

Xiao Pingguo ran up to Luo Qianyun and handed her a pretty little cake, “For you to eat.”

Luo Qianyun was a bit surprised, “You went to get this little cake just now?”

Xiao Pingguo nodded, “Sister said there’s only one, eat it slowly.”

“Then you keep it and eat it slowly. If I want some, my brother will buy more,” Luo Qianyun smiled and rubbed Xiao Pingguo’s little head.

Hearing this, Xiao Pingguo didn’t eat it right away but carefully put it in her pocket.

Seeing how she treasured it, Luo Qianyun immediately promised, “Once the typhoon passes, I’ll buy a lot of little cakes for you to eat, okay? And for your sister and your friends, I’ll make sure you all eat your fill.”

Xiao Pingguo nodded, then shook her head sadly, “Sister is lost.”
