Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

Immediately, the door to the ward was opened from the inside, and a grandmother who looked to be in her sixties and dressed simply stood in the doorway.

"Dean Li."

Facing the old man, Yunshan Wu smiled and greeted him.

The old woman was the director of an orphanage, and her name was Li Yinghong.

"President Yun is here! Please come in."

Upon seeing Yunshan Wu, Dean Li's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grasped one of Yunshan Wu's hands.

"Thank you so much, I'm so grateful..."

"No, no..." Yunshan Wu politely shook his head and said.

The old man then looked at Kazama behind Yunshan Wu.

"And this is...?"

"This is my younger brother."

"Your younger brother? He's quite the handsome young man..."

"Hello." Kazama also nodded politely to Dean Li.

"Please come in, please come in."

Kazama and Unzan followed Dean Li into the ward.

This is a private hospital room.

A little girl is sitting on the hospital bed in the middle.

She was wearing a small hospital gown, had her hair in braids, and had some freckles on her face.

The girl's name is Chen Nan.

This was the person the two had come to visit.

But she wasn't alone in the ward. There was another person sitting on the chair next to the bed, a young woman with a neat ponytail and wearing a gray tracksuit.

Upon seeing this woman, Kazama's expression changed slightly.

The woman also looked towards the doorway, her gaze sweeping over Yunshan Wu and landing on Fengjian behind him, her expression momentarily stunned.

"Sister Yun..."

"Hello, and to all the unfamiliar older brothers."

Chen Nan greeted the girl in the hospital bed very politely.

Unlike most children who are shy around people, Chen Nan appeared poised and full of energy. She didn't look like she had just undergone major surgery.

"Hello, little girl, it's been a while."

Yunshan Wu stepped forward and spoke gently.

How are you feeling now?

"It feels great..."

"that would be great."

Yunshan Wu placed the carnations on the bedside table, then gestured for Fengjian to bring the gift and hand it to Chen Nan.

After Chen Nan's attention was completely drawn to the gift, Yun Shanwu's gaze finally fell on the woman in sportswear sitting by the bed.

At that moment, Dean Li brought over two folding stools and placed them by the bed: "Please sit down, both of you."

Seemingly noticing that Yunshan Wu's gaze was fixed on the woman in the sportswear, Dean Li quickly introduced her:

"This is Officer Li, who is also here to visit Xiaonan."

"Officer Li, who are these two...?"

Li Bingruo spoke up at this moment.

"Dean Li, you can just call me Xiao Li."

Li Bingruo stood up from her seat and looked at Kazama and the other two.

"I know these two people too."

"You must be Ms. Yun. Thank you so much for sponsoring Xiaonan's surgery with your company."

"besides..."

Li Bingruo's gaze passed over Yunshan Wu and landed on Fengjian.

"Mr. Feng, we meet again."

"Yes, Officer Li."

Facing the police officer who had come to check the water meter yesterday, Kazama displayed a perfectly timed expression of surprise and replied:

"What a coincidence."

Upon hearing Li Bingruo's words, Yunshan Wu's eyebrows immediately rose.

She turned to look at Kazama, her gaze conveying a questioning tone that seemed to ask, "Do you know each other?"

This gave Kazama a headache, and just as he was about to explain, Li Bingruo spoke up again.

However, this time she was speaking to Dean Li:

"Dean Li, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"They're leaving already?" Dean Li was taken aback, but then he realized what was going on.

"That's true. You must be very busy. It's already quite an achievement that you were able to find the time to visit Chen Nan."

Li Bingruo nodded.

"I have been quite busy with work lately, but that's okay. I'll visit the orphanage again when I have some free time."

After saying goodbye to each other, Li Ruobing and Chen Nan left the ward.

Watching Li Bingruo walk out of the room, Yunshanwu turned to Dean Li and asked:

"This person and the little girl are..."

"Officer Li is an old acquaintance of the girl's father; they had a student-student relationship."

"Although Officer Li is not very talkative, he is a very kind-hearted person. He will bring gifts to visit the children in the orphanage every now and then."

Was she a student of Chen Nan's father?

Yunshan Wu nodded.

Yunshan Wu was certainly aware of Chen Nan's background. Her mother died early, and her father passed away three years ago. Since she had no relatives willing to take care of her, she was sent to an orphanage.

As for his father, Yunshan Wu heard that he was a famously upright and incorruptible policeman who had sacrificed his life three years ago while chasing a criminal.

..........

After sitting in the ward for a while, Yunshan Wu and Fengjian took their leave.

As they walked out of the inpatient building, seemingly knowing what Yunshan Wu would ask, Kazama spoke first, explaining the ins and outs of his relationship with Officer Li.

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to Kazama's account, Unzan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But she immediately added in a more forceful tone:

"How could this be!"

"What do you mean by 'this' and 'that'?" Kazama asked helplessly.

"I thought you'd finally figured it out," Yunshan Wu sighed.

Upon hearing Yunshan Wu say this, Kazama immediately shut up.

After a moment, Kazama changed the subject.

"This must be the first time your company has tried something related to charity."

A month ago, Kazama overheard Unzan talking about this. He said he wanted to sponsor a child, but it turned out to be something else entirely.

"Hmm." Yunshan Wu nodded.

"Aren't you bringing a reporter?" Kazama said half-jokingly.

Yunshan Wu glanced at Fengjian.

“I understand what you mean. In fact, my assistant said the same thing.”

"But for me, true charity is not a show. I don't need any banners."

“But sometimes, charity for show isn’t so bad. At least a lot of people will throw themselves into this cause in order to be praised and receive banners.”

Ultimately, the word "profit" is the starting point that drives many people's actions.

"The story of the State of Lu redeeming its people?"

Yunshan Wu sighed.

"You're really not romantic... and you're supposed to be a writer."

"Realist writers don't have that much romance to speak of."

"Many things in this world are not so pure, such as good and evil, and justice."

Chapter 48 Girl

The two left the hospital before 11 o'clock.

It was still early, and Yunshanwu had just returned from a business trip and had a lot of things to deal with at the company, so they didn't plan to have lunch together. Yunshanwu dropped Kazama off at the entrance of the residential area and then left.

After giving Yunshan Wu a few words of advice not to overwork himself, Kazama watched him leave before turning and entering the residential area.

Back home, Kazama opened the door and immediately saw Cerberus sitting on the living room sofa, flipping through an illustrated book.

There were still disposable plastic lunch boxes on the coffee table, which clearly showed that Yunshanwu had finished the hot dry noodles he brought earlier.

"came back?"
