Squeak!
Qiu Bi gently opened the door, and before he could even see the person outside, he heard a familiar girl's voice.
"Big brother, these are things that Cocolia's mother sent for you!"
Rosalia held the two tickets in her hands, raised her arms, and waved them in front of Qiu Bi.
"This is... a ticket?"
“Yes! This is a ticket for a nighttime amusement park! Cocolia’s mom always forbids us from going out, let alone to an amusement park like this.”
"Where's Cocolia?"
"I don't know. It was delivered by the uncle who usually delivers goods. He said it was a gift from Cocolia's mother to her older brother and sister."
The "delivery uncle" Rosalia mentioned was the driver who usually delivered supplies to the Cocolia Orphanage and occasionally escorted the children to deliver the medicine they needed.
Qiu Bi was familiar with the truck driver and would often chat with him when receiving supplies or medicine.
"Does he want Cecilia and me to go to this amusement park to relax?"
Qiu Bi murmured in confusion, then casually took the ticket from Rosalia's hand.
Judging from the strength with which Rosalia gripped the ticket, she seemed to really want to go to this amusement park.
Qiu Bi glanced down at the ticket and saw that the date on the ticket was today, and the amusement park's night session started in half an hour.
"Half an hour later... Rosalia, go and play with the other children."
Qiu Bi carefully put away the two tickets, then pondered for a moment before saying, "In a few days, I'll take the better-behaved kids out to play—Rosalia, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"Of course I understand! Big brother, Rosalia will be a good girl!"
Rosalia raised her arm happily and solemnly vouched for it.
Seeing this, Qiu Bi reached out and stroked Rosalia's head to encourage her, and then let Rosalia play by herself.

Chapter 115 Orphanage Attack
Half an hour later, Qiu Bi and Cecilia packed up and left Cocolia Orphanage to go to the amusement park.
Little did they know, mercenaries at a nearby hotel were constantly monitoring their movements, all for the sake of facilitating a subsequent "robbery".
"Captain, that couple really left... What exactly did you do?"
"It's very simple. I just used the name of that 'witch' to send the couple tickets to the amusement park's night session."
"Is this... so simple?"
"What else? Such simple methods are often the most effective."
The captain chuckled and then ordered, "Have the others get ready. We'll begin our operation in an hour and a half."
"Captain, shouldn't we act sooner and hand over the 'goods' as quickly as possible? What if the couple comes back in an hour and a half?"
"You talk too much!"
The captain glared at the mercenary who had asked the question, then explained, "Since they went to the amusement park's night session, it's impossible for them to return to Cocolia Orphanage so quickly. After all, the area around that amusement park is basically full of 'love hotels'."
Upon hearing this, the mercenary suddenly understood and exclaimed, "As expected of the captain, where is the handover location?"
"A warehouse near Lake Baikal."
The captain gave a casual reply, then took out a photo and handed it to the mercenary who had asked a lot of questions.
"This is a photo of the target. Take a good look at it, so you don't kidnap the wrong child."
"Captain, of course, that's no problem!"
The mercenary smiled as he took the photo, examining it carefully several times. "Is this the target...? There's nothing particularly remarkable about him. Why did that wealthy businessman specifically request this child?"
"Who knows? Hurry up and let others take a look. Don't forget to return the photo to me; we'll need it to verify the 'goods' later."
"learn."
……
An hour and a half later.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia were engrossed in their fun at the amusement park and completely unaware of what was about to happen at the Cocolia Orphanage.
At the same time, the mercenaries, who were staying at the hotel, immediately took action, ignoring the fearful and terrified looks of the people nearby, and barged into the Cocolia Orphanage with a clear objective.
Seeing the mercenaries break into Cocolia's orphanage, the children, though young, knew that these mercenaries were not good people.
In an instant, the children scattered and ran away, some hiding in the bushes, others in the attic.
"Ignore the non-target children and find the target as soon as possible."
The captain gave the mercenary a serious and earnest reminder, then looked around, searching for their target.
—A girl named "Seele Flair".
As the mercenaries scattered and searched the orphanage, the children dared not breathe, nervously stealing glances at the mercenaries.
Every now and then, the mercenaries would find the children and drag them away from their hiding places, then bring them to the center of the courtyard to prevent them from hiding elsewhere and thus affecting their search operation.
"Lilia, what should we do? If this continues, everyone in the orphanage will be taken away."
"Rosalia, do you know where your older brother and sister went?"
"Of course I know, but... can the big brother and sister beat these bad guys? These bad guys have guns!"
"Silly Rosalia, big brother and big sister can call the police to catch these bad guys, and they can also contact Cocolia's mother and ask her to come back and save us."
"Yes! But... Lilia, how are we supposed to find the older brothers and sisters?"
"It's simple. Lilia will attract the attention of those bad guys, and Rosalia will take the opportunity to run away from the orphanage and find her older brothers and sisters as soon as possible."
"Hmm...so how exactly should we do it?"
Rosalia asked in a low voice, but before Lilia could respond, the two had already been spotted by a mercenary.
"Let me see... two naughty children."
The mercenary smiled, but didn't show much malice.
Since it was just a kidnapping of one child and the other children posed no threat, the mercenaries naturally didn't show much malice, treating it as a game of "hide-and-seek."
Lilia fell silent.
Before being discovered by the mercenaries, they could try to attract attention, but now that they have been discovered, the two are at their mercy and have no way to escape.
The difference in size and physique was like an insurmountable chasm, leaving Rosalia and Lilia helpless.
Soon, the two girls were dragged by the arms by the mercenaries to the center of the courtyard and placed with the other children.
The children huddled together, looking at the mercenaries with timidity and fear, not daring to provoke them.
Most children have experienced this kind of situation to some extent and know how to save their lives, so no child was in danger.
"Captain, we've located the target."
A mercenary suddenly spoke up to remind the captain guarding the main gate of the orphanage, causing him to turn his gaze away from the outside world.
So...where is the target?
The captain asked in a calm tone.
Then, a mercenary dragged a frail girl out of the courtyard.
Compared to other children, this girl not only had her mouth taped shut, but her hands were also tied behind her back with rope.
The captain took out the photo, compared it several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "That's right, this is the target."
Immediately, under the terrified gaze of the children, the mercenaries dragged Seele away from the orphanage and randomly selected a few "lucky ones" on the street, forcibly "borrowing" their vehicles.
Faced with the menacing mercenaries, these "lucky ones" dared not resist and obediently gave up their vehicles.
Only after the mercenaries had left in a huff did the children at Cocolia's orphanage dare to disperse again.
"Lilia, Seele has been kidnapped by the bad guys! What should we do now?!"
"Rosalia, don't panic, let Lilia think about it—I...I don't know what to do either."
"We must find older brothers and sisters!"
Rosalia, quick-witted, pulled Lilia back to the attic.
Lilia, puzzled, anxiously reminded her, "Silly Rosalia, you should be going to find your older brother and sister and rescue Seele, not going back to your room to sleep."
"Of course I know! There's a landline phone in Cocolia's mother's study. We can use that to contact our older brothers and sisters. It's much more convenient than going to find it ourselves!"
"Rosalia is unusually clever... Lilia knows big brother's phone number, let's call big brother quickly!"
Chapter 116 A Secret That Could Change the World
amusement park.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia are visiting and touring the amusement park at night.
Compared to the daytime hours, which are more suitable for children, the nighttime hours of amusement parks are undoubtedly more suitable for adults to visit together.
Whether it's a gloomy atmosphere or a terrifying environment, it can help adults quickly strengthen their bonds.
In this environment, Cecilia unusually pretended to be an "ordinary woman" who was powerless to even kill a chicken, sometimes nervously holding Qiu Bi's hand, and sometimes hugging Qiu Bi tightly in fear.
Qiu Bi was speechless at the same time, and found it very funny.
"Cecilia, we've pretty much seen everything at the amusement park. We should go back to the hotel to rest."
"That's true, it feels like there aren't any interesting projects anymore."
Cecilia nodded in agreement, then suppressed her fear.
Then, she asked worriedly, "Honey, is it really okay if we don't go back to the orphanage tonight?"
"Since Cocolia sent us these two tickets, she probably wants us to have some fun outside, but..."
Qiu Bi frowned, then continued, "I have this uneasy feeling that something bad has happened."
“Honey, I feel the same way. How about we go back to the orphanage? The hotel rooms are pretty much the same as the orphanage rooms anyway.”
