Zuko turned to look at both of them. He didn't understand why, but Lena seemed particularly concerned about Lina.
Despite sending people to investigate, they only discovered that Lena wasn't a local and had lost both her parents. No other valuable information was found.
Zuko frowned slightly as he sensed something inexplicable in Lena's feelings toward Lina.
"Why are you lost in thought?" Lina squeezed his hand.
Zuko smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about which segment should come next."
"Which segment?"
Zuko gestured to his assistant.
As the promotional video played, the mood suddenly shifted. Chaos erupted when several children splashed dirty water on Desiree. The camera then revealed the worn-down facilities inside the welfare home, where old and helpless residents sat in wheelchairs, their eyes filled with despair and hopelessness.
The elderly were not properly cared for. The rooms were dim and damp, with mold on some walls. The backyard was overrun with weeds, giving the impression of a horror movie set rather than a welfare institution.
The audience murmured among themselves, expressing surprise.
Albert's face fell, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Madam Baker, this is..."
The video finally stopped with a bleak sky.
"What's happening?" Janine remained composed and smiled lightly. "Oh, didn't Desiree tell you? When she visited the welfare institution the other day, a few mischievous kids offended her. Zuko was so anxious he called the police, but she chose to endure it. This level of tolerance has truly impressed me!"
Albert tried to speak, but no words came out.
