Chapter 76 - Hug (1/2)

Ming Ming revealed a smile, “Yeah.”

He said that simple word in a naïve and innocent tone.

Yan Jing Cai who was denying it a moment ago was dumbfounded. He couldn’t take in the situation and his mind was in a state of chaos.

When they met earlier, Ming Ming was clearly just a child but now he looked as if he was a completely different person.

Xu Yixiang was a little calmer than Yan Jing Cai but she was also stunned. She asked: “Did you call us back? Why did you call us back?”

And he even pretended to be the old director.

If it was really an email sent out by Ming Ming, then it was a terrifying thought. He had mentioned in the email that the old director didn’t have long to live – was this true or false?

The fire gradually swept over.

Su Min asked: “Did you call as back so that we could die here?”

Even now, he didn’t know what Ming Ming’s intentions were. With Shi Nansheng and Han Qinqin meeting that kind of fate, they would probably also die if things continued like this.

If they didn’t go and check on the children today, they probably wouldn’t reach this stage and would have just died without knowing anything.

But the movie had set up only a few situations. Once you have gone through almost all of them, the movie was about to reach its end.

The smoke got thicker and thicker. Any more and they would suffocate in here.

Su Min immediately decided: “Let’s leave here first.”

Yan Jing Cai asked with frustration: “But he’s over there so how can we go past? Are we going to get rid of him?”

But killing someone wasn’t something anyone could do.

Ming Ming and they were only about two metres apart. Su Min thought for a moment before walking over and picking Ming Ming up in his arms. He then went downstairs.

“Follow me.”

Ming Ming didn’t expect Su Min to do something like this.

The doll was squeezed between him and Su Min and you could smell an old scent coming from it. It probably wasn’t washed for a long time.

Xu Yixiang was pulled along by Yan Jing Cai and they both ran down.

The entire second floor was engulfed in flames. When they left the stairwell, fire poured out from above.

“Our luggage is probably all gone……..”

Xu Yixiang panted while shouting, “Ah, so angry!”

She was probably annoyed by everything that had happened over the past few days and she couldn’t help but yell out at the empty first floor.

The first floor also started to burn.

It was very sudden. When the came down from the second floor, the first floor was fine, but it now started to burn fiercely like the second floor.

Ming Ming struggled in Su Ming’s arms.

Su Min held onto him tightly and didn’t let go. They all ran out to the yard.

From the outside, they could see that the entire orphanage was alight. Large clouds of thick smoke poured out from the windows, soaring up into the air.

The sky was dark.

Ming Ming struggled in Su Min’s arms, but Su Min had no intention to let him go. In the end, the doll fell out.

The moment the doll fell, Ming Ming’s attitude changed.

He opened his mouth and bit hard onto Su Min’s shoulder. Although it was small, he had sharp teeth and he used a lot of strength.

Su Min winced in pain and released him.

Ming Ming quickly picked up the doll and held it in his arms. He looked at Su Min warily with a pale face.

Su Min asked again: “Why did you call us back?”

Ming Ming grinned widely, “To let you play with me.”

Yan Jing Cai who was watching on felt a chill down his spine.

He had thought that everything was done by Xiao Chen or the old director but from the looks of it, everything was done by this child here instead.

He had planned everything and kept everyone in the dark. He then planned to let them die again in the orphanage where they had once lived.

Yan Jing Cai was speechless.

Xu Yixiang sensed that his mood was off and moved over to silently comfort him.

Su Min and Ming Ming continued to confront each other. Behind them was a fiery background.

He asked: “How did you know about us?”

Su Min couldn’t figure this out. Unless the director told him himself, how could a child know about their contact information?

Ming Ming fiddled with the doll and didn’t say anything.

Yan Jing Cai behind him said: “He must have seen our contact details when we contacted the old director. I would always leave contact information behind when I sent over money.”

Su Min turned around, “You also sent money?”

Yan Jing Cai nodded, “I would send over every month and also some food.”

Although it wasn’t a large amount, it was the intention that counts.

Su Min now understood the situation a little more. Ming Ming had probably gotten his hands onto their contact information after they’ve been maintaining contact with the orphanage and he used that to send them an email.

As for the contents of the email……..

The old director was already dead, yet he made up a lie saying that the director didn’t have long to live.

The name of the movie was “The Last Supper”. Without a doubt, this was associated with that painting and the number of people here were exactly thirteen.

The old director was Christian, and Ming Ming also had a cross hanging from his neck. Although he may not be Christian, hewas likely influenced by it.

Thirteen people were drawn next to Ming Ming’s bed and he had planned on calling thirteen people here but Xu Yixiang’s arrival had disrupted his plans.

So, Su Min surmised that Ming Ming had probably changed his mind and left things to develop on its own. In the end, the last supper that he had planned for never occurred.

If Su Min didn’t participate in the holographic viewing of the movie, the number would be exactly thirteen.

It was this variable that disrupted his train of thoughts. He had overlooked this the entire time. If he realised this sooner, he could have possibly found out about the truth earlier.

Ming Ming spoke up: “You must stay with me.”

Su Min looked at the doll in his arms.
