I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 90 Is the happiness you see real?

"Welcome. The two are Mr. Pierrot and Mrs. Pierrot. Thank you very much for your donation to our orphanage and for your willingness to adopt our children. I hope to have a suitable child to become your family tonight. "

Outside the Martha Wayne Children's Orphanage in Gotham City, a quiet and elegant woman greeted Joaquin and Harley Quinn warmly—of course, they are now named Jack Pierrot and Harleen Pierrot.

"Good evening, I'm sorry I didn't have time to come here so late. After all, we are busy with work. How should I call you?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself - my name is Joan Muen, and I'm the director of this children's welfare home. It's a pleasure to meet you two."

Jacques looked at the woman in front of him. To his surprise, the director of the orphanage was a young woman.The face with glasses is lightly made up and looks delicate and pretty, the golden bun is neatly combed on the head, and the shapely body is dressed in plain casual clothes.

All in all, she looks quiet and elegant, mature and virtuous, and it is hard to imagine that she has anything to do with child trafficking.

And the other party seemed to have no vigilance towards the two of them at all. Originally, Jacques thought that it would take a lot of work for the couple pretending to be an adopted child to gain trust. In the end, he just donated 50 US dollars online, and the other party took the initiative to contact them to express their gratitude , and when they learned that they had the idea of ​​adopting children, they immediately invited them to visit the orphanage.

Things went so smoothly that Jacques and the others worried for a while whether it was a trap. As a result, when they arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, the young and beautiful dean took the initiative to wait here to welcome them, and from her Judging from their expressions, it seemed that they were really looking forward to their arrival.

"Come in, both of you. The children have just finished dinner and are studying late. They will be very happy to see you two."

Munn smiled brightly and led Jacques and Harley Quinn into the orphanage. After looking at each other, Jacques and Harley carefully followed Munn's footsteps, and were ready to fight at any time.

"Having said that, I saw on TV that a strange thing seemed to have happened here a few days ago"

In the corridor of the orphanage, Jacques chatted about this topic pretending to be nonchalant, while his eyes caught every subtle expression change on Munn's face from the side.

A embarrassed expression flashed across Muen's face, and then he sighed lightly.

"Although I always wanted to expand the popularity of the orphanage and let more people know that these children need help. But I didn't expect it to be on TV in this way. I am really ashamed."

Judging from the expression on his face, Jacques couldn't see any flaws, so he continued to ask tentatively.

"So, Ms. Munn, you are the person involved. Excuse me for asking curiously, what was said on TV—"

"It's all made up! These reporters can really make up anything for the sake of ratings, and they don't even think about what kind of impact it will have on our orphanage and children!"

Munn said categorically, her delicate cheeks flushed slightly because of anger, and at the same time her chest kept heaving and falling due to excitement.

"Many of the children in our yard have unfortunate pasts, so many superstitious people regard them as ominous symbols. This is a scruple for many families when adopting children. If there are rumors that Batman has visited, Then it’s even more difficult to find the right family for the kids to care for them.”

Jacques and Harley Quinn looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. No matter how you looked at it, this Dean Munn was a kind woman who cared about orphans very much.

Could it really be that Barbara made a mistake?Or did this woman named Muen really have such good acting skills that she covered up all her evil goals?
"I'm sorry, my husband just happened to see the news on TV and asked casually."

Harley is holding Jacques' arm lightly now, she looks like a virtuous and virtuous noble lady, and her voice is soft and soft.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I lost my composure. But since this accident made the two kind-hearted people notice our orphanage, it's a blessing in disguise."

The annoyed Munn took a deep breath, stroked his chest, seemed to have finally calmed down, and then looked at Jacques and Harley with a little apology.

"Accident?"

"Yes, it was just an ordinary accident. That night, I was in the office sorting out the curriculum and budget plans for the children, but suddenly I heard a strange noise from the window, so I went to the window to have a look. "

Munn tilted his head, as if he was seriously recalling the scene at that time.

"As soon as I opened the window, a big bat rushed in from outside, scaring me and screaming loudly. After my colleagues caught up, they worked with me to drive the big bat out and made a mess in the office That's all."

Jacques frowned slightly, but continued to ask calmly.

"But your colleague later called the police, and there was another story—"

"Yes, I don't know what she thinks, maybe it's for the sake of fame or taking money from those unscrupulous reporters, but she actually added fuel to make up such a story, what kind of Batman threatened me, and was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the office-hmph , although the bat is a bit bigger, I can still distinguish between humans and animals. After all, I have traveled around when I was an archaeologist, and such a big bat is also very common in Southeast Asia."

Um?At this moment, Jacques had a vague intuition to catch something.

"Miss Munn, archaeological work means—"

"It happened when I was in college, before I came to Gotham. We are here, children, come and see here. Two kind-hearted guests have come to see you. Come and chat with them, everyone."

While talking, Munn had already led them into a hall.

The child imprisoned and free, the abused thin body, the dull and lifeless eyes-these things that Jacques had imagined before did not exist.

In the hall, more than a dozen children were reading and studying on the desks, some were playing games in the open space, and some were laughing and chatting
When they heard Muen's shout, the children all showed surprise expressions, and stood in front of them scrambling to line up.

I saw that the children were all about ten years old. From the outside, they looked radiant and energetic, and there was no sign of being treated unfairly at all.

"Hey, is someone graduating and leaving again? It looks like they are all young."

"If you are picked, you must send a letter like Mike and the others to keep in touch with us."

"Can you let them adopt two at a time, I don't want to be separated from you Lucy"

The children's whispers did not escape Jacques' keen hearing. Judging from the content of their conversations, it seems that this appearance is not fake-and it seems that they have always been in touch with the children who left?
Jacques looked at the happy children and Munn, and recalled what Barbara had said to him, and fell into a little confusion for a while.

The darkness and misery that Barbara investigated, and the happy appearance of the children in front of her, which side is the problem?
