Meanwhile, Zong Jianren pointed at the dirty trash on the ground all over the ground, "Is being so dirty a deliberate attempt to get me in trouble?"
Ann saw Zong Xiaoqiang covering his mouth and snickering, while the overturned trash can lay beside them.
Angrily, she said, "Director, it was Zong Xiaoqiang who knocked over the trash can, not Ann's fault for not cleaning!"
Zong Jianren snatched the broom from Ann's hand and raised it high, saying, "You dare to lie and slander my Xiaoqiang! You, an orphan without parents! It seems I need to teach you a lesson for you to admit your mistakes!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the entrance of the orphanage…
Zong Jianren was startled, trembling all over.
He spat on the ground first, cursing at Ann, "Clean it up! Otherwise, I'll kill you, you wretched girl!"
After cursing, Zong Jianren ran towards the direction of the noise.
The orphanage was small, and with a turn, one could see the situation at the entrance.
Zong Jianren first saw the extraordinary and tall man outside the gate, followed by the cold-faced bodyguards dressed in black.
No, not outside the gate, the large iron gate of the orphanage had already fallen to the ground.
The man, protected by the bodyguards in the middle, exuded a chilling aura.
With just one glance, Zong Jianren felt a chill down his spine, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Who…who are you? You, you broke this gate, I saw it! Compensation! You must compensate!"
Assistant He Yan stepped forward and whispered to Qin Haochen, "Sir, he is the director of this orphanage, Zong Jianren."
Qin Haochen's eyes were icy cold as if staring at a dead body. Zong Jianren's loud and deep voice, the words he had just yelled at Ann, were all heard by Qin Haochen.
Under his intense gaze, Zong Jianren felt as if his neck was being choked, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Zong Jianren discreetly took two steps back.
The orphanage couldn't make any profit now, but the people in front of him seemed wealthy and influential.
If he could take advantage of the broken gate to extort a large sum of money…
A calculating glint flashed in Zong Jianren's eyes as he loudly declared, "No matter who you are, you must compensate for this gate! It's very expensive! And it costs hundreds of thousands, so don't even think about escaping!"
Qin Haochen glanced at the dilapidated iron gate on the ground and sneered.
He didn't lack hundreds of thousands, but he wouldn't give a single penny to this person in front of him, especially after witnessing how he had threatened and bullied Ann.
With this in mind, Qin Haochen took long strides toward the direction where the little girl had disappeared.
"Hey! Compensation! Compensation!"
Zong Jianren's voice was sharp and piercing when he saw him ignoring his presence.
Just as he was about to run up and stop the man, several sturdy bodyguards in black blocked Zong Jianren's path, each wearing a menacing expression.
Without looking back, Qin Haochen ordered in a cold voice, "Tie him up!"
Turning a corner, they arrived at the small backyard of the orphanage.
At this moment, there was only a frail figure in the yard.
Ann pouted, feeling extremely wronged as she held the broom and continued sweeping the trash in the yard.
A gentle voice came from behind, "Ann."
Ann's movements paused for a moment, then she continued sweeping the floor.
The director said she was an unlikable child without parents, so someone couldn't call her name so gently.
She must have misheard. "Ann, don't be afraid, it's Daddy."
Once again, that gentle voice sounded from behind. Ann blinked in confusion and turned to look behind her.
Into the eyes was a pair of long legs wearing luxurious high-fashion suit pants, which seemed to grow so long that they could not be seen, and Ann tilted her head so high that she was able to see the face of the visitor.
It was the handsome uncle from the entrance!
But why did the handsome uncle say he was her daddy?
Ann blinked her round eyes in bewilderment.
Qin Haochen took a step forward, half squatting down, maintaining eye contact with her.
He reached out his long arm and gently took the dirty and oversized broom from her small hand, as if afraid of scaring her, his movements were very light.
Then, he carefully embraced her small and thin body.
"Ann, I'm sorry, Daddy came late."
"Ann, Daddy comes to take you home."
This was the first time Ann had been held in someone's arms as if she were a treasure.
She was somewhat enamored with this warm embrace that gave her a sense of security.
Ann tilted her little head and looked at her handsome uncle who was holding her.
Does she have a daddy?
At that moment, Ann saw Zong Xiaoqiang walking out of the house.
She instinctively hid in her handsome uncle's arms, trembling with fear.
Zong Xiaoqiang, with a full and satisfied round belly, saw Ann being held by a stranger, with a broom lying aside.
He immediately pointed at Ann, wearing a proud expression, and shouted loudly, "You're slacking off again! I'm going to tell my grandpa!"
"Ann didn't slack off! You knocked over the trash can just now!"
Ann retorted defiantly, unwilling to accept Zong Xiaoqiang's accusation.
Suddenly, a warm hand gently patted Ann's little head, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Qin Haochen lifted her up, protecting her in his embrace, and looked down at the chubby boy with a cold gaze, saying, "He Yan."
"Yes, Sir!"
There was no need for Qin Haochen to say anything, He Yan, Qin Haochen's long-time assistant, naturally understood what needed to be done next.
Two minutes later.
Zong Jianren was tightly bound and kneeling in front of the dilapidated door.
Next to him was his grandson, Zong Xiaoqiang.
He Yan carefully disinfected a pair of silver bracelets and handed them over to the President with great caution.
Qin Haochen glanced at the silver bracelets, then coldly looked at the chubby boy's hands, seemingly contemplating whether or not to keep them.
Zong Jianren already knew that these people were after Ann, and he also knew that they were not to be trifled with.
Seeing the man staring at his precious grandson's hands, he quickly cried and begged for mercy, kowtowing, "Sir, please spare my grandson! I truly didn't know those bracelets belonged to Ann! My grandson knows nothing! I beg you!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Xiaoqiang immediately started crying and making a scene, "Grandpa, Grandpa! Those bracelets are mine! They don't belong to Ann!"
"Grandpa! I want them! I want my bracelets!"
Zong Xiaoqiang lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum.
Zong Jianren's face turned pale with fear, desperately glaring at him, "Shut up! Shut up quickly!"
He regretted having his hands tied, otherwise, he would have covered his grandson's mouth and suffocated him.
A cold smile appeared on Qin Haochen's lips as he ignored them, carrying his daughter and getting into the car.
Receiving the President's silent command, He Yan immediately instructed the surrounding bodyguards, "Take them away!"
Several luxury cars arrived grandly and left in the same manner.
Inside the Lincoln car.
Since her earliest memories, this was the first time Ann had left the orphanage.
She observed her surroundings, nervously gripping her handsome uncle's clothes.
"Uncle, where are you taking Ann?"
The word ‘uncle' undoubtedly twisted Qin Haochen's heart into a knot.
His eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly reassured her in a gentle voice, "Ann, Daddy is taking you home, our home."
Ann raised her little face, about to say something, when suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she gradually lost consciousness.
In her ears, that gentle voice became anxious and worried, "Ann, Ann! Hurry up!"
The driver stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed.
"Yes, Sir!"
Qin Haochen held the little one in his arms, feeling heartbroken, and instructed, "He Yan, tell Yanyi to come home immediately!"
"Yes, Sir!" He Yan immediately made a phone call to the second master of the Qin family, Qin Yanyi.
Just before Ann lost consciousness, she vaguely saw her handsome uncle crying, and she murmured softly with her tiny pink lips, "Is this handsome uncle really my daddy?"
Unfortunately, Ann didn't have a chance to hear Qin Haochen's answer before falling into a coma.
