Director Wang stared blankly at the two individuals.
Both... both named Han Meimei?
Realizing that Director Wang's expression seemed a bit off, the already awkward Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingxuan became even more uncomfortable.
But, if they had to blame someone, they thought it was mostly Xu Mo's fault.
If Xu Mo hadn't claimed to be Li Lei,
would they have said their names were Han Meimei?
The two of them had been trying hard to come up with fake names just now.
But just because Xu Mo said he was Li Lei,
it caused the phrase "Li Lei and Han Meimei" to echo in the minds of Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Their heads were buzzing, unable to remember anything.
It was like trying to fill in ancient poetry during a Chinese exam.
You couldn't recall the ancient poetry, but the lyrics of classic songs kept playing incessantly in your mind.
Xu Mo couldn't help but wipe his face helplessly.
Teammate troubles...
He quickly explained for the two of them.
"Pronunciation issue."
After saying that, he pointed at Zhou Qiaoqiao. "She's called Han Meimei."
Then he pointed at Yang Jingxuan. "She's called Han Meimei too."
Director Wang smiled, "I knew it..."
Xu Mo didn't want to leave his real name, fearing that troubles might arise later.
Who knows if the welfare home might disclose the names of donors?
If the names were made public and coincidentally seen by the investigative team,
wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
There were several steps in the donation process to the welfare home.
But Xu Mo said he was avoiding trouble, so he simplified and even skipped some steps.
Among them, there was a crucial step: group photo.
On this matter, Xu Mo flatly refused.
His current identity was a "fugitive."
A group photo?
Wasn't that just a joke?
After completing all the procedures,
Xu Mo casually mentioned that he wanted to stay in the welfare home for a few more days to play with the children.
"Director Wang, I really like these kids. Can I stay at the welfare home for a few days? I want to spend more time with the children."
Director Wang was initially surprised.
Most people who donated did it for show, for reputation. They basically left after donating.
But someone who not only donated but also wanted to stay and spend time with the children? She hadn't seen that before.
After some consideration,
Director Wang thought it was a good thing.
At least, for the children in the welfare home, it was a good thing.
Judging from the children's reactions just now,
they seemed to really like these three brothers and sisters who came to donate.
Moreover, the welfare home did have some vacant rooms.
Also, the three of them had given too much!
So, Director Wang agreed.
"Of course, you can. However, you can't stay with the children. They live in the back, and you can only stay in the front staff rooms. This... is a rule. I hope you can understand."
"Understood," Xu Mo nodded.
Seeing how easygoing Xu Mo was,
Director Wang couldn't help but have a better impression of the three of them.
In this day and age, there weren't many people who were both wealthy, caring, and easy to talk to.
"That's fine then. Mr. Li, follow me. I'll take you to the rooms where you'll be staying at night... those rooms were originally occupied by caregivers or teachers, but they left, and the rooms are now vacant."
The three of them immediately followed.
Finding a place to rest seemed to be achieved.
This resting place appeared to be quite safe.
The investigation team would probably never think that the three of them would choose to stay in the welfare home rather than opting for a hotel or guesthouse.
Moreover, Xu Mo had just subtly misled the investigation team.
The plan to mislead the investigation team just now.
It wasn't exactly flawless.
Whether the plan could deceive the investigation team or not, Xu Mo himself wasn't sure.
However, this plan had a dual nature.
Whether the investigation team believed it or not, Xu Mo had nothing to lose.
For Xu Mo,
If the investigation team believed, that would be perfect, making them run all the way to the welfare home for nothing, wasting their time.
As for disbelief, it didn't matter.
Keeping the investigation team skeptical about any lead was what Xu Mo hoped for.
They could doubt that Xu Mo was hiding in the nursing home was a false lead.
Similarly, even if the investigation team truly traced it to the welfare home, they would surely doubt the authenticity of this lead.
After all, the nature of the welfare home and nursing home was remarkably similar.
Both were places that ordinary people would rarely visit.
Moreover, these two places were vastly different from where Xu Mo had temporarily stayed before.
Real or fake, virtual or real, who could say for sure?
...
Nursing home.
After receiving the lead, the investigation team wasted no time rushing over.
The elderly in the nursing home.
Most of them lacked self-care ability and were hard of hearing, requiring professional care, hence sent to the nursing home.
As soon as the investigation team parked the car at the entrance,
they saw an old man sitting alone, lost in thought, just inside the gate.
Han Fei walked over with a smile.
"Hello, old man."
The old man gave Han Fei a faint glance and remained silent.
Though being ignored,
Han Fei continued with a smile, asking,
"Old man, do you often sit on this side of the entrance? Did you see a young man come in today to apply for a caregiver position?"
Upon hearing this, the old man turned to look at the group of people gathered inside, chatting over tea.
With a disdainful expression, he replied, "Why wouldn't you play with them? A bunch of seventy-year-old brats. I'm ninety; what do I have to play with them for?"
Han Fei: "..."
Was he talking about the same thing they were discussing?
Han Fei thought perhaps the old man's hearing was failing due to his age, and he spoke too softly earlier.
So, he raised his voice.
"Old man, did you see a new caregiver today? His name is Xu Mo."
The old man didn't hear clearly, "Xu what?"
"Xu Mo!" Han Fei raised his voice again.
"What?"
"Xu Mo!"
"Uh, I don't have six buns." The old man thought aloud.
Han Fei: "..."
Forget it; it was a futile attempt.
It seemed like they were on different wavelengths.
You ask east; he answers west.
You say a big monkey, he talks about a train engine.
You mention a big monkey eating children, he talks about a train engine with wheels.
Unable to get any useful information,
Han Fei decided to give up.
"Rest well."
Having said that, the four changed their target.
This time, they found a group of old grandpas sitting around, drinking tea and chatting.
"Hey, gentlemen, sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to ask if there's a new caregiver at our nursing home today, quite young, named Xu Mo."

That's all for now, goodnight everyone!
Begging for a little tap on the screen and a few free gifts. Much appreciated!!
Thank you!!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
