BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie

Now, all of the major media outlets would probably be finding ways to interview the orphanage, so it was best for him to go over and have a look these few days. After all, the orphanage was a product of his hard work and effort.

Right now, there were very few children in this orphanage. Not because Qing Yun had restricted the conditions, but because the orphanage had a collaboration with the national welfare agency to care for and raise children who have mental disorders or who were isolated in public orphanages and cannot communicate or fit in well with other orphans.

For every child in there to receive the most appropriate care, the Gu family’s orphanage also employed professional child psychological counsellors.

However, Qing Yun never tried to pblicise it before, so no one knew the real situation of the orphanage currently.

Worried that something would happen, Qing Yun decided he might as well stay at the orphanage for two days. Since he was the orphanage director in name, they always had a room reserved for him.

As Qing Yun expected, a media outlet soon attempted a live interview.

In the livestream room, the anchor who slipped into the orphanage was holding onto a miniature camera device as he explained in a lively manner: “This orphanage is so incredibly strict that it doesn’t accept volunteers and doesn’t allow outsiders to donate clothing and other goods for the orphans. Something’s obviously fishy! And I’ve also confirmed that the director of this orphanage is indeed Gu Cheng.”

“I pretended to be an adoptive parent to get in here. The person who brought me in went to take care of some procedures, so I took the opportunity to sneak out and show you all the darkness inside this orphanage!”

Although the orphanage incident caused a lot of commotion the past few days, no one knew that it was actually like inside the orphanage. That was why this live broadcast had garnered such widespread attention. Almost every netizen who had heard about the incident tuned in to watch with the hope of uncovering the truth.

In the frame, the interior of the orphanage was already shown. Surprisingly, the interior of the orphanage building was not dilapidated at all. It even had the feel of a miniature children’s playground, and was much more luxurious than an ordinary orphanage.

Looking at this scene, both the anchor and the audience were faintly puzzled. Could it be that there was a mistake somewhere? Maybe the news was fake?

But as the anchor walked in further, and could make out the scattered children inside the courtyard clearly, the netizens watching the broadcast immediately became angry.

This was because the children’s condition was obviously not right. A little girl sat on a slide reading a book, but her gaze was blank and spaced-out. The boy next to her was unusually mischievous, unable to sit still for a moment.

In the other corners of the courtyard, some of the children where squatting there growing mushrooms1, while some children were repeating mechanical motions with their hands.

There were about seven or eight children here, but they seemed to have no communication or connection with one another, which was certainly not a normal state for children to show.

The netizens watching the livestream all felt their hearts give a sudden “thump”, as they could clearly see that all these children had varying degrees of psychological trauma.

To be able to turn innocent and carefree children into this state, where they had no thought of resistance, what had the orphanage done? Was it child abuse? Or human trafficking? It was definitely not just these!

As these viewers felt heartbroken and their sense of justice exploded to the maximum, they urged the host to interview these children and fully expose the secrets of the orphanage.

However, some netizens did remind them: “These children don’t seem to be in a good condition, it’s best not to disturb them.”

But it was completely ignored by others.

The host, afraid of being discovered, directly stopped the particularly mischievous child and asked: “Little friend, can you tell Uncle what you guys normally do?”

The boy was stunned when he saw the stranger, but immediately raised his toy sword and bashed it down onto the anchor’s head: “Fight! Fight!”

The anchor was confused by the kid’s words, shouldn’t it be being beaten or something more cruel?

He asked as he scolded the unruly child: “Can you tell Uncle who you fight with?”

“Fight the Great Demon King!”

As soon as the boy said this, the other children who hadn’t yet responded also looked over. The anchor even noticed the little girl who was beside him quietly reading her book speaking up: “The Great Demon King……”

The anchor spoke directly to the camera: “Once this Great Demon King was mentioned, these children seem to have some reaction. Seems like they have a very deep impression of this Great Demon King. Also, from the name itself, it doesn’t seem like a good impression. I’m going to find out the identity of the Great Demon King from them.”

“Little friend, can you tell Uncle who the Great Demon King is?”

During this time, the boy could not settle down and stabbed the ground a few times with his sword then raised his head to look at him like the anchor was an idiot: “Of course, the Great Demon King is Gu Cheng!”

This caused an uproar in the live stream!

All of them had originally thought that the orphanage was just part of a large black market chain, but now they didn’t expect that Gu Cheng had personally taken part in these actions?

What did Gu Cheng do that caused all the children to call him the Great Demon King?

Some female netizens who radiated maternal concern couldn’t help but speak out: “Pah! This is simply disgusting! Can’t believe that I was once captivated by that face of Gu Cheng. I never imagined he was a beast wearing human clothing! He could even lay hands on children!” 

Seeing the situation, the anchor felt that they had finally reached the crucial point. Hence he chose not to care about the children’s mental trauma and wanted to coax them into revealing how they had been tortured usually, and asked: “What did the Great Demon King do to you all, for you all to want to fight him?”

The little boy thought for a moment and then pulled his face with his hand, saying: “He shot us with dynamic light waves from his eyes! And he scolded us to make us go to sleep early!”

“……”

Hearing this, the anchor and the livestream audience fell silent. Damn, this was different from what they thought! Their pants were already taken off2 but it turns out only this was shown to them?

Also, what the heck are those dynamic light waves?

Just when the anchor was anxiously trying to find other shocking points, the little boy suddenly spoke again: “He even fed us poison.”

Once he said this, all of the netizens became serious. Fed them poison? What poison? Some time before, the news of someone using drugs to abuse children just blew over, could it be that this orphanage was also related to that incident?

The host also became excited and asked in rapid succession like a cannon: “Poison? What does it look like? How did he feed it to you? How did you feel after eating it?”

The little boy pointed to the ground and the host finally noticed that there were several exquisitely crafted cookies scattered on the ground. They had a very attractive appearance and their colours looked very tempting.

Some of these cookies already had a bite taken out of them, and some of them were being played with like toys by the children.

The anchor also noticed at this moment that the children growing mushrooms in the corner were not planting mushrooms, but were planting these exquisitely crafted snacks.

The livestream fell silent again for a while, all of them feeling a little overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events.

“emmm, poison? And this is the method he used to feed it? Should I say Gu Cheng is bold or just plain stupid?”

“Feeding poison to children like this? I don’t believe it. Even bad guys who feed poison still need to hide it in snacks like what parents do?”

“Am I the only one who thinks these cookies look delicious? It’s such a waste to throw away this kind of cookie, these kids……  Honestly, they seem to be living pretty well.”

“I want to try them too. How about you, the anchor, pick one up and give it a taste?”

Actually, these cookies were made by Qing Yun himself, but they didn’t taste good at all. The children were tempted by the appearance the first time they saw them and thus ate them. But every single one of them pretended to be poisoned and fell to the ground after eating it, such drama kings and queens.

Later on, Qing Yun just let the children play with them like toys.

When the anchor saw the cookies, he felt disappointed. After all, he had accepted money to dig up the inside story of the orphanage. If he couldn’t dig anything up, who could he ask for the final payment?

However, the anchor, adhering to a sense of professionalism, still picked up one of the cookies and kept it, saying he would take it back for analysis.

Time was running out and the anchor still hadn’t dug up any dirt on Gu Cheng. Getting anxious, the anchor grabbed a miniature microphone and shoved it in the little boy’s face, demanding: “Little friend, tell Uncle something else, okay? Uncle’s here to save you all. You need to tell me everything bad the Great Demon King has done.”

The little boy was already annoyed by all the questioning, so he raised the water gun in his other hand, aimed it at the anchor’s face and sprayed.

The host was furious and started to threaten the boy, saying: “HEY, you little brat. Don’t be foolish and not have any sense of gratitude. Tell me the truth now, or when Gu Cheng kills all of you, let’s see who will save you!” 

He raised his voice, immediately attracting the attention of all the children in the courtyard.

These children may not have shown it clearly, but they all had some level of psychological trauma, so under the host’s loud threat, they all froze. 

After being frightened, these children didn’t cry or make a fuss like normal children would. They only stood still with their eyes blown wide and looked at the anchor with terrified expressions.

The water gun and sword held by the little boy, whom the host had grabbed, were dropped in fear.

“Who allowed you in?” At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out. Stunned, the anchor put down the child in his arms and turned the camera to face the person who spoke.

A young man in home clothes came out from the house, wearing a small bear apron. His hands still had some flour on them, clearly having rushed over.

The person who came was Qing Yun. At first, when the anchor saw the head of the Gu family in this attire, he wasn’t able to recognise him. Meanwhile, the children who had been frightened by the anchor jolted like they were awoken and swarmed like bees over to Qing Yun’s side. 

The children all hid themselves behind Qing Yun, their little hands pulling on Qing Yun’s pants while peering cautiously at the anchor. Their reliance on Qing Yun was apparent without words.

Although they were afraid of him, in the children’s hearts, Qing Yun would always be the most reliable person who would hold up the sky for them.
