After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 681 This Thief God

As soon as Wang Ling finished speaking, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a blessing in disguise. They didn't dare to imagine how Xiao Yun would react if Shen Lan was hurt. Just thinking about it made them scared.

Wang Ling straightened up and looked around: "Where's Brother Yun? Haven't you found Shen Lan yet? I'll go check."

"Boss Xiao, we've searched the entire orphanage, but there's no trace of Miss Shen. Now this is the only place left to look."

When Wang Ling arrived at Xiao Yun's side, he was standing in front of the orphanage's cellar.

Wang Ling's expression froze. He took a few quick steps and grabbed Xiao Yun, "Brother Yun, you're not going down, are you?"

Xiao Yun looked at the dark cellar entrance, his lips turning pale, but he said, "This is the only place left to look. Shen Lan is most likely in there. She'd be scared."

Shen Lan had just experienced Xiao Jun's kidnapping. The bodyguards he brought with him looked and behaved very similarly to Xiao Jun, and were not suitable to go.

Wang Ling held him tightly and shook his head, "No, no, Brother Yun, I read the report from that year that Liu Lin found on his phone. This cellar can accommodate more than 30 children and protect them from fire. The depth and width are very similar to the filled-in cellar of the Xiao family. You can't go down there."

Xiao Yun's expression changed slightly, but after a few seconds he said firmly: "It's okay, I can do it."

So many years have passed, and he has people he wants to protect, so he has to overcome his past weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

"I'm going down, Brother Yun, please let me down."

Xiao Yun patted his shoulder and said, "You have night blindness, so it would be a stretch for you to go down. Don't try to persuade me. Shen Lan is closest to me, and only if I go down can she feel safe. I am what she needs now."

Wang Ling opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he met Xiao Yun's resolute gaze, he was unable to utter a word.

"Then you better be careful. After so many years, the ladder inside has long since rotted away."

The bodyguards checked the oxygen concentration in the cellar before lowering Xiao Yun down with a rope.

As soon as Xiao Yun entered the cellar, Wang Ling lay down on the edge of the cellar without caring about his image, calling Xiao Yun's name every few seconds. He felt relieved only when he heard his response.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yun came out of the cellar.

His face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were gloomy.

"No, Shen Lan is not in there."

"Brother Yun, are you okay?" Wang Ling took the spider web off him and asked nervously.

Xiao Yun shook his head: "It's okay."

He was only thinking about Shen Lan's safety, and he overcame the psychological shadow that had troubled him for many years and was not affected at all.

"That's good, that's good." Wang Ling sighed, then frowned again: "Then where is Shen Lan?"

The atmosphere near the cellar was strange and tense, and the bodyguards didn't even dare to breathe.

They all knew that after today, the bodyguard team would be purged and their future was unknown.

"Boss Xiao, Xiao Jun is awake. He told me where Shen Lan is."

Liu Lin's voice was like a downpour of sweet rain from heaven.

Xiao Yun looked over suddenly: "Where is it?"

Shen Lan hugged the branch, not knowing how much time had passed. He only knew that the sun had not moved for a long time. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the world seemed to have stopped.

Only waves of desire surged up in her body. She had already consumed a lot of the medicine brought to Xiao Yun, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

And she couldn't take it anymore. All medicines are toxic, especially this one that wasn't suitable for her condition. There was only one bottle of the newly developed medicine. What would Xiao Yun do if she finished it?

Shen Lan carefully held the pill in his mouth, not daring to swallow it, letting the bitterness hit his lips and tongue, so that he could stay more awake.

But fatigue and exhaustion still set in. She dozed off for a moment and nearly fell off the branch because she was too relaxed. Frightened, she took a few deep breaths and held the branch tighter.

She carefully shrank her body, hiding herself more tightly, rubbing her palm-sized face against the rough bark, counting the time in her mind.

It was under such circumstances that Xiao Yun found her.

A small, skinny ball was curled up on a branch, covered in blood, its head nodding drowsily.

Xiao Yun only felt his heart twitch violently, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"You guys wait here."

His voice was hoarse and slightly nasal.

Liu Lin immediately noticed his mood and pulled Wang Ling back, who was about to follow him. He whispered, "Wait here. President Xiao and Shen Lan probably don't want us to see them."

Wang Ling stopped and looked at Xiao Yun who walked cautiously towards Shen Lan, his nose feeling sore.

"why are you crying?"

Wang Ling's voice choked with sobs. "I just feel that Brother Yun and Shen Lan have it so hard. This damn God, how can he not see people doing well?"

Brother Yun and Shen Lan have suffered a lot since childhood. Why can't two such good people live happily forever?

Seeing Wang Ling crying, Liu Lin patted his head in amusement.

"Everything will be fine after all the hardships. Mr. Xiao and Ms. Shen will be fine in the future."

"I have to." Wang Ling wiped his tears and glared at Liu Lin fiercely: "Who told you to pat my head like a puppy?"

Liu Lin laughed so hard that he deserved a beating: "You admitted it yourself."

While the two were playing, Xiao Yun had already arrived under the tree. Seeing the drowsy Shen Lan, he used an unprecedentedly gentle voice and whispered, "Nian Nian."
