Chapter 719 An Evil Lie

Lu Yu noticed many beggars sitting against the walls on both sides of the street as he walked through the Golden Heart No. 1 districts.

All of their faces were lifeless and gloomy, like corpses.

Also, most of them were all very young…

"It's getting late. Why don't we find a place to sleep first?" Qin Yang asked.

"The hotel next door is okay. Let's stay here for the night."

Lu Yu looked at the hotel next to him. It was only three stories high and was a dilapidated building. It could not be compared to the luxurious villas in Star Ocean City.

"It's going to be hard for you to live in this place." Qin Yang smiled resignedly.

"It's okay. It's not like I've never lived in a worse place."

Qin Yang walked into the hotel, and after some communication, he booked a room.

"It's done," he said as he returned to Lu Yu's side. "Why don't we go up and take a look at the rooms?"

"Not for now. Let's go out for a walk and understand the situation here. There's no rush, as it's not time to sleep yet."

Qin Yang felt it made sense, so they returned to the streets.

At night, the surrounding lights were brightly lit. Various street vendors were eagerly attempting to attract more customers, with the aroma of various scrumptious snacks wafting down the streets.

They walked on the streets and observed the situation, all with mixed feelings.

At this moment, Yun Zirou pointed at a little boy beside her.

"That person is so pitiful. Look, his face is covered in bruises; he must have been bullied a lot."

Lu Yu looked over and saw a boy curled up in the corner. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He was wearing shabby and dirty gray clothes. He was frail and weak.

"He's so pitiful. Why don't we go and help him?" Yun Zirou suggested.

Qin Yang quickly shook his head. "Don't. There are many people like him here. Can you help them all? "

However, Yun Zirou was against that logic. "I'll help as many as I can. Are we going to ignore one because there are too many people?"

Qin Yang was speechless for a moment. "What are we even doing here?" he sighed.

"Let's go over and take a look. We can also ask about this place."

Lu Yu made a decision and walked toward the little boy at the corner of the street.

Seeing this, Qin Yang could only follow quickly.

They left the bustling streets and walked down the alleyway.

At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly saw two tall and thin boys walk out from the side. After running over, one of them grabbed the little boy's hair and was about to drag him away!

"So you're hiding here? Do you want to die? What did I tell you to do!"

The assailant yelled at the frail boy, who was curled up on the ground.

Lu Yu walked over and reprimanded, "You two! What are you doing?"

When the two saw Lu Yu and the others walking over, they sized them up and were about to turn around and escape in a hurry.

When they saw Lu Yu's factory uniform, they thought they were the workers here. They were so scared that they turned around to run away.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, two icicles shot out and pierced through the chests of the two!

Immediately after, the two of them were frozen into ice cubes.

Qin Yang looked at Han Xuefei in surprise. "You're acting too rashly! "

Han Xuefei only glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Lu Yu squatted beside the little boy and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

The little boy opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yu. He asked in fear, "Who are you?"

He seemed to have seen Lu Yu's uniform and was particularly afraid.

"I'm here to help you. Can you talk to me?"

He shook his head timidly. "I don't know you. "

"I can take you out of here and have you live elsewhere. How about that?"

After Lu Yu asked, he stopped talking.

At this moment, Qin Yang also squatted down. "Young man, answer whatever I ask you. Don't you dare disobey that order!!!"

Qin Yang berated him, scaring the boy so much that he hurriedly answered, "I... I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. What do you want to know?"

Lu Yu could not help but smile. It seemed that Qin Yang's ruthlessness was more effective.

"Where is the main operating factory of Golden Heart No. 1? Also, where will you hold your awakening when you are eighteen?"

The boy thought momentarily and quickly replied, "The factory is in the center of the district, and it's tightly sealed off; ordinary people can't enter there. If you want to awaken, a central square here holds the ceremony."

"What did they tell you about the awakening?"

"As long as we complete the awakening and have a talent, we can leave this place and enter their company. We will become employees, and then we can live a rich life!"

At this point, he was so excited by that notion that his eyes lit up.

"Is that so? Will they organize a ceremony over the next two days?"

Lu Yu continued to ask.

"I'm still far from the age of awakening. However, my sister's eighteenth birthday is in a few days. She can go and awaken and then leave this horrible place."

As he spoke, he could not help but smile happily.

"But after your sister leaves, won't you be the only one left here?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as she can live a better life, it's fine. I'll be able to go out and look for her when I'm eighteen."

Hearing this, Lu Yu and the others fell silent.

Yun Zirou was furious. She squatted beside the boy and said, "Actually, it's not like that! You've been deceived!"

Qin Yang hurriedly interrupted Yun Zirou. "Don't talk nonsense; stop running your mouth!"

Yun Zirou glared at him.

Qin Yang was sheepish and quickly looked at the boy. "It's okay. Don't take her words seriously; she's just spewing nonsense. Can you take us to see your sister?"

The little boy was placed in a difficult position, but he nodded, afraid of them. "No problem…"

Seeing this, Qin Yang smiled happily.

Yun Zirou pulled him aside angrily and questioned, "What do you mean? Why don't you let me finish speaking?"

"Sister, there's no need to rush. Isn't it better for us to figure out the situation? If I didn't intend to save them, I would've already planted a bomb and blown this place up!"

Yun Zirou took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "I understand. I acted impulsively just now…"

"Whether it's Lu Yu or me, we can raze this place to the ground. We don't plan to do so because we want to collect information and save as many people as we can."

Yun Zirou nodded. "Let's find the person in charge of this place. I want to tear him into pieces!"

At this moment, Lu Yu had already helped the boy up.

"What's your name?"

"My name is An Heng, and my sister is An Lan."

"Let's go. Bring us to her. Oh right; what did those two people want you to do?"
