I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan

Chapter 1031 - 763: Acting

Most of them are around seven or eight, or in their early teens.And these children all have one thing in common, which is that they are sallow and thin, obviously due to long-term malnutrition!

Xia Liang’s gaze grew colder.

Because the more children there are, the more it proves how cruel Lemon Essence and her associates are!

How can they capture so many children to make money?

Upon seeing these children, Xia Liang was already sure that Lemon Essence and the interest group behind her were likely a child trafficking gang!

Moreover, they specifically target children!

At the same time, considering the condition of these children and the harsh environment they might have been in for a long time, Xia Liang guessed that the gang Lemon Essence belongs to is probably the Beggar Gang!

This Beggar Gang is not the kind of Beggar Gang from ancient times or martial arts novels, but a real-life gang that uses trafficked children as tools to make money.

Because children can more easily evoke sympathy and compassion from ordinary people than adults can.

Xia Liang couldn’t believe that such a cruel and inhumane profession still exists in today’s society!

Entities like Lemon Essence, not one of them is a good person, they’re all a bunch of bastards!

Their existence is a waste of air!

They are like parasites in society, hiding in the shadows, secretly gnawing away at humanity.

Xia Liang didn’t know what role this woman called Lemon Essence played in this interest group.

But considering she previously mentioned her husband, Xia Liang guessed that Lemon Essence was likely the wife of the Beggar Gang’s leader.

Only with this position could she live so well, with her skin so well-maintained!

However, the netizens at the moment couldn’t see this yet.

When they saw these children, their eyes were filled with anger, but it was primarily directed at these children’s parents.

They also felt sympathy, but it was for the children, because such young children suffering from such illnesses is excessively cruel.

Even adults cannot withstand the torment of such illnesses, let alone them! Once these children appeared, they all appeared very frightened and docile in the face of Lemon Essence, like little lambs, not daring to resist at all.

Xia Liang supposed that off-camera there might be some brutish, cold-blooded, and ruthless men watching these kids intently.

Once they act out of line... the outcome is predictable and likely very tragic!

"Why are there so many children? They can’t all be Lemon Essence’s siblings, can they? That’s too many children, no wonder there are so many of them sick. What family could bear this?"

"Are you crazy? So many kids can’t possibly all come from one family."

"There might be many who are children of Lemon Essence’s relatives!"

"That’s right, I think so too."

"I think Lemon Essence was aiming for Doctor Xia’s online live treatment, so she brought everyone over in one go, hoping to gamble on this opportunity!"

"She’s really lucky to be able to secure a slot for Doctor Xia’s treatment."

"Kind-hearted people generally don’t have bad luck."

While the online viewers were making guesses, Lemon Essence pulled a child, around eight or nine years old, from the crowd and said,

"Doctor Xia, this is Xiao Mai, my third brother. Lift up your clothes and show Doctor Xia your symptoms."

Xiao Mai obediently nodded, then lifted his clothes to reveal the sores and ulcerations all over his body to Xia Liang.

This boy’s symptoms were more severe and exaggerated than Xiao Jun’s.

Almost his entire back was covered without an intact spot. Even Xia Liang frowned when he saw it,

Because of his anger, he subconsciously clenched his fist. It’s outrageous, utterly inhumane, how could these people dare to do such a thing.

Next, there was another girl called Xiao Mei, whose condition was similarly bleak.

However, Lemon Essence seemed oblivious to Xia Liang’s increasingly grim expression, continuing to introduce four children before bringing forward another child.

"His name is Xiao Tong, a child from my cousin’s family. This is Xiao Meng, a child from my cousin’s family! This is Xiao Tao, a child from my second aunt’s family..."

After ten children, Lemon Essence’s tone became low and choked again.

She pointed to the remaining five children and said,

"Viewers of Doctor Xia’s live stream, you would never guess where they came from. If I tell you, you might feel worse than I do!"

Xia Liang sneered coldly in his heart.

After uncovering the truth, the acting of this malicious woman appeared very clumsy in his eyes.

No matter what she says now, Xia Liang naturally wouldn’t be deceived by her glib words.

In fact, Xia Liang had already sentenced Lemon Essence to death in his heart.

However, the audience in the live stream was quite curious upon hearing her words.

They were already misled by Lemon Essence’s facade, their thinking led astray, losing the ability to discern for themselves, starting to follow her narrative.

This is the ruthless cunning of this woman.

She knows how to utilize her advantages to sway others’ thoughts.

Indeed, a woman who can stay by the leader of the Beggar Gang wouldn’t only have a pretty face.

"Where exactly did they come from? I’m quite curious now."

"Could they have been picked up from the streets? That’s just too outrageous."

"Stop keeping us in suspense, hurry up and tell us! Were they found in some remote mountain area?"

Lemon Essence, seeing the atmosphere had been built up, finally spoke with a pained expression,

"I discovered them in an orphanage. Although I am a hotel service worker, I volunteer at nearby orphanages regularly every year. Just half a year ago, while volunteering at an orphanage, I noticed Xiao Tiantian scratching incessantly. I was curious, so I quietly took her to a secluded place. Under my questioning, she revealed that they often didn’t have enough to eat and were bullied.

Moreover, the place they slept was in terrible condition — damp environment with large cockroaches running around the room, and these diseases appeared on their bodies. Later, I reported that place, the director got arrested, and many caretakers were captured, but the newly appointed director wasn’t much better.

When I visited the orphanage a few days ago, I found that Xiao Tong and the others’ environment hadn’t improved much, and their illnesses had worsened.

So, I took it upon myself to quietly bring them out. I wanted Doctor Xia to check on them tonight. I know my action will surely anger the orphanage’s director, but for the children’s health, I cannot care about that now."
