nAfter hanging up the phone, her gaze was already fierce.
nShang Jingheng had already looked at her. “Why, did something happen?”
n“Something happened to Lu Jinwan. Our form teacher called. I have to go over and take a look.”
nShe looked at Shang Jingheng with a heavy gaze.
n“You go back first…”
n“I’ll go with you.”
nThen, without waiting for Qin Yiyi to speak, he had already called someone to drive the car over.
n“Wait five minutes. Ding Yi will be here soon.”
nQin Yiyi opened her mouth and nodded. “Okay.”
n
n
nDing Yi’s car drove over quickly.
n“Sir, Miss Qin.”
nShang Jingheng helped Qin Yiyi open the car door. After she got into the car, he bent down and sat beside her.
n“Let’s go to school.”
nGo to school at this time?
nHowever, Ding Yi only had some doubts in his heart. He turned the steering wheel and drove straight to school.
nOn the way, Shang Jingheng looked at Qin Yiyi who was sitting there with a solemn expression and comforted her.
n“Don’t worry too much. Your classmate will be fine.”
nShang Jingheng had already remembered that there seemed to be a girl beside Qin Yiyi who kept chattering like a little chatterbox.
nAs for the others, he had no impression of them.
nHowever, what could have happened to that girl?
n“Did she quarrel with someone at home, so she didn’t want to stay at home?”
nNowadays, didn’t high school students talk about the rebellious period?
nHe had specially read books and studied them!
nQin Yiyi didn’t think much of it. She only pursed her lips. “She’s not that kind of person.”
nEven if she was angry or quarreled with her family,..
nLu Jinwan wouldn’t run away from home in the middle of the night!
nBesides, even if she really wanted to leave home, she would definitely give her a call.
n“Let’s go over and take a look first.”
nShang Jingheng looked at Qin Yiyi and said gently.
nQin Yiyi thought the same.
nTherefore, the two people in the car didn’t speak again.
nUntil the car stopped at the school gate.
nThere were already a few people waiting in the guard room. When they saw Qin Yiyi coming over, Teacher Zhou walked over first.
n“Qin Yiyi, you…”
nHer gaze swept past Shang Jingheng who was beside her. Teacher Zhou was slightly startled. This person’s aura was so strong!
nJust a moment ago, when he took a glance, his heart actually started beating nervously.
nWho was Qin Yiyi’s friend?
nHowever, now was not the time to talk about this. He looked at the security room behind him and stood beside Qin Yiyi. He lowered his voice, “Lu Jinwan went missing after she left in the evening. She said that she went to the bookstore at the Bank of China supermarket. However, a teacher and the people from the Lu family went to look for her, but they didn’t find anything. They also asked and the store clerk said that they haven’t seen this person…”
nQin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said directly, “Teacher Zhou, are you hiding something from me?”
nWhy did she feel that teacher Zhou didn’t dare to look at her?
nEven his tone was much faster than usual. It was as if he was hiding something from her. He felt guilty and didn’t dare to look at her!
n“Well, there’s something that I don’t know if I should tell you…”
n“Teacher Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it.”
nWhat was Teacher Zhou troubled about?
n“We found Lu Jinwan’s phone and bag at the scene, but there’s a note on it. It says that if we want to find Lu Jinwan, we need to find you.”
nQin Yiyi, “…”
nIt seemed that she had implicated Lu Jinwan…
nHer beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed. “Teacher Zhou, can you show me that note?”
n“Yes, yes, yes…”
nThis was also the main reason why Teacher Zhou had specially rushed over and didn’t let Qin Yiyi enter the guard room!
nThose were Lu Jinwan’s parents.
nIf they knew about this matter, it would be fine if they were reasonable people, but if they were unreasonable, who knew how they would cause trouble with Qin Yiyi?
nTeacher Zhou couldn’t watch his own student suffer!
nAlthough the other student was also his student, he could not let one student suffer because of the other.
nTeacher Zhou took out the piece of paper that he had been holding tightly in his palm. It had already been crumpled by him.
nOnly then did Qin Yiyi raised her hand to take it.
nSomeone had already reached out a step faster than her to pick it up.
nIt was placed under the light of the phone. There was an address on it.
nOn the west side of Shanghai City. Qin Yiyi didn’t know the exact details. She looked at Shang Jingheng.
n“Do you know what’s in that area?”
n“I’ll get Ding Yi to check it out.”
nQin Yi looked at him lowering his head and whispering to Ding Yi who was following closely behind him. She was talking to Teacher Zhou herself.
n“Did you call the police?”
n“I went to the police station, but the comrades at the police station said that it hasn’t even been 24 hours, and she’s already past 16. She’s not considered a minor…”
n“Then I’ll go to this address in a while.”
nQin Yiyi immediately came to a conclusion. “Teacher Zhou, you first accompany Lu Jinwan’s parents to look for clues, so that they won’t feel uneasy.”
n“But who knows who the other party is, and you’re a girl…”
n“No, no, I’ll go with you.”
nHow could Teacher Zhou let Qin Yiyi go to that place by himself?
nHe even regretted taking out this address just now!
nIf anything happened to Qin Yiyi…
nTherefore, he definitely had to follow.
n“Teacher Zhou, don’t worry. We’ll go with her.”
nThe one who spoke was Shang Jingheng. His voice was calm and low, unconsciously carrying a sense of stability that calmed people’s hearts.
n“Teacher Zhou, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect her well.”
n“That’s right, teacher. Don’t worry. He will go with me.”
nIf both she and Shang Jingheng couldn’t bring Lu Jinwan out…
nQin Yiyi felt that no matter how many policemen came, it would be useless!
n“Teacher Zhou, don’t forget that Uncle and Auntie Lu still need you to comfort them.”
nQin Yiyi’s words finally succeeded in stopping Teacher Zhou’s thoughts of following the past. However, he looked at Qin Yiyi and warned her very seriously.
n“Teacher knows that saying this might not be fair to Lu Jinwan. However, Qin Yiyi, you are all teacher’s students. Teacher doesn’t want you to have an accident because of one another. Moreover, you are only a girl. If there is anything wrong, hurry back. We will wait for the police to arrive. We must not take the risk alone, understand?”
n“What happened to Lu Jinwan is not your problem alone, and it’s not your fault either.”
nTeacher Zhou blabbered on quickly and anxiously.
nHe was afraid that Qin Yiyi, this little girl, would blame herself in her heart and take a risk because she had implicated her classmates.
nWhen the time came, if one could not be saved, the other would walk right into the trap…
n“I’ll remember what teacher said.”
nQin Yiyi wasn’t prepared to explain anything to Teacher Zhou.
nWhat the other party said was for her own good.
nShe accepted this favor!
nWhen the car was rushing to that address, Qin Yiyi’s phone rang again.
nIt was an unfamiliar number.
nShe looked up and directly pressed the speakerphone. “I’m Qin Yiyi.”
n“Qin Yiyi, right? I’m sure you already know that your classmate is in our hands. Did you see that address? If you want to save her, you have to rush over now. I’ll give you half an hour. If it’s more than half an hour, it’s hard to say what parts your classmate will be missing, Hahaha…”
nAccompanied by a burst of sinister and arrogant laughter, the other party directly hung up.
n“It’s a voice changer.”
nShang Jingheng was very sensitive to voices.
nAlmost at the instant the other party hung up the phone, he had analyzed almost everything.
n“It should be a female voice. Sounds… young…”
n“She should have been quite angry when she spoke…”
nAs for the rest..
nHe shook his head and looked down at his computer screen.
n“That’s all I can tell, but I’ve already analyzed the other party’s signal. Look…”
nThis address…
nWas very close to the address that Teacher Zhou had given her earlier.
nThe main character?
nA fierce glint flashed across Qin Yiyi’s slightly narrowed eyes.
nShe wanted to see who was behind this!
nMoreover, they actually extended their hand to the person beside her…
nTeacher Zhou watched as Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng’s car turned around and drove straight into the night.
nHis heart also started to race.
nPlease don’t get into any trouble.
nIn the end, he really couldn’t hold it in anymore and called the Vice Principal.
n“Uncle, I have no choice. Look at this matter…”
n“Don’t be silly. How could you let her go alone?”
nThe vice principal had just finished eating and was thinking of chatting with his son for a while to rest. When he heard the phone call, his face turned pale with anger.
n“Send me that address. I’ll get someone to go over and take a look.”
n“Oh right, Lu Jinwan’s parents are temporarily unaware of this matter. Wait for my news.”
nAfter hanging up the phone, the vice principal didn’t have time to say anything else. He took a jacket and walked out. As he walked, he called the police.
n“Yes, it’s a student from our school. It’s no longer a simple missing case. You have to send someone immediately…”
nBehind him, the Vice Principal’s son looked unhappy.
n“Dad, where are you going? You promised to play with me!”
n“Dad suddenly has something to do. be good and stay at home with your mom. I’ll play with you later.”
nBefore he could finish his sentence, he had already disappeared from the courtyard.
n“Dad, why are you always like this? You’re so annoying!”
nThe vice principal’s wife sighed and walked over. “Alright, what do you want to play? I’ll play with you.”
nI knew this father was unreliable!
nBut this was a serious work matter. She had to endure it as well.
nHowever, she didn’t know what had happened this time. He even contacted the police…
nThe vice principal’s wife grumbled in her heart and worried while accompanying her youngest son to do his homework and play.
nAt a certain dilapidated building.
nQin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng got off the car far away. They stood in the shadows and looked at the row of dilapidated buildings in front of them.
nSuddenly, Qin Yiyi laughed lightly.
n“This place is not bad!” In a while, she could beat them up at will!
nShang Jingheng looked at her instead.
n“I’ll go in. You just wait outside.”
n“Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. I can do it alone.”
nA good girl would never say no!
nShang Jingheng wanted to say something more, but Qin Yiyi’s phone, which had been set to silent mode, suddenly lit up.
nIt was another unfamiliar phone number.
nThe two of them looked at each other, and Qin Yiyi pressed the answer button.
n“Qin Yi Yi speaking.”
n“You still have ten minutes…”
n“Really? I thought it was time. Sigh, there are two alleys there, which way should I turn?”
nQin Yiyi glanced at Shang Jingheng, who had his head lowered to intercept the signal, and curled her lips.
n“Why don’t you send someone down to pick me up on the street outside?”
n“Stop dreaming!”
nThis voice seemed to have been angered by Qin Yiyi’s words, and for a moment, she even forgot to change her voice.
nSharp and harsh.
nQin Yiyi smiled lightly, “What are you so agitated for? If you don’t send someone, then I won’t know the way. Then I’ll just randomly pick an alley and leave. If I’m really late, it’ll be your own fault. Oh right, where’s my classmate? In order to ensure the other party’s safety, I want to listen to her voice. Otherwise, I’ll go home right now and call the police…”
n“If you dare to call the police, I’ll kill Lu Jinwan right now.”
n“Alright, you kill her, you kill her right now.”
nQin Yiyi’s tone was casual, “Did you do it? If you’re sure, let me know so that I can go back right now.”
nThe other party seemed to be angered by Qin Yiyi’s words and couldn’t speak for a long time.
nShe was panting heavily.
nAfter she reacted, she directly teased her, “You still have seven minutes. When that time comes, if I can’t see you, I’ll teach her a lesson. I’ll also send these words that you didn’t save her to your classmate’s family. I’ll see how you’ll explain it to them when that time comes.” PA! The other party directly hung up the phone.
nQin Yiyi curled her lips. She spoke as if she would release Lu Jinwan if Yiyi arrived on time.
n“How’s it going? Have you found the signal?”
nShang Jingheng glanced at her and walked in a certain direction.
n“Let’s go.”
nQin Yiyi wanted to walk in front.
nShe was pulled behind by Shang Jingheng. “We can go back. We have two choices to go home.”
nQin Yiyi, “…”
nDing Yi had unknowingly run to the front. When he heard his master’s words, he turned his head and grinned at the two of them.
nHis big white teeth were exposed in the dark night.
n“Sir, Miss Qin, I can handle such a small matter by myself. You guys can go home and wait for the news.”
nHe didn’t really become a chauffeur just because he drove every day!
nBeing a chauffeur was just his part-time job, alright?
nQin Yiyi curled her lips. “I’ll go behind you guys. Let’s go.”
nGoing home didn’t exist!
nLu Jinwan was in such an accident because of her. How could she possibly go home and wait for the news?!
nAccording to Shang Jingheng’s signal, the other party should be in the last building in the last row.
nThe three of them silently walked towards that building.
nShang Jingheng’s footsteps became lighter. Unknowingly, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yiyi.
n“Don’t worry, your classmate will be fine.”
nNeither Shang Jingheng nor Ding Yi took this matter to heart.
nAfter experiencing the true chaos of war, he was someone who had touched a gun and fought on the battlefield and survived countless assassinations.
nHow could he be afraid of such a small matter?
nHowever, Shang Jingheng was worried that Qin Yiyi would worry about his classmate.
nOr perhaps she would blame herself in her heart.
nHe did not try to persuade her, he just softened his voice.
n“I promise I’ll get your friend back unharmed.”
nQin Yiyi glanced at him and said calmly, “I’m not worried.”
nShe had seen Lu Jinwan’s face a long time ago, and there might be some twists and turns, but who could have a smooth journey in life?
nOther than these, Lu Jinwan had a long life.
nIn a dilapidated building in the last row.
nTwo flashlights shone.
nA few hooligans looked carefully at Lu Jinwan who was tied to a chair.
nOne of the girls had a fierce look on her face. “Count the time. As long as that wretched girl is one minute late, I’ll stab her in the body. In two minutes, I’ll cut off one of her fingers…”As she spoke, her face was deathly pale. Lu Jinwan, whose face was already covered in tears, saw the fruit knife being waved in front of her eyes, “Do you see what this is? You’d better pray that Qin Yiyi will come here on time. Otherwise, if she comes a minute later, I’ll give you a stab!”
nLu Jinwan was so scared that her body trembled like a sieve.
n“You, you pervert! Yiyi will definitely come to save me. And she will definitely not let you off.”
n“Won’t let me off?”
nThe girl seemed to have thought of something as she laughed out loud with a ferocious expression.
n“I lost everything because of her. Do you think I still need her to let me off?”
nSlap!
nShe raised her hand and slapped Lu Jinwan’s face hard.
n“It’s not her that won’t let me off. It’s me who won’t let her off. Even if I die, I will drag her along with me!”
n“You’re crazy!”
nLu Jinwan wanted to bang her head against the pillar, but she was tied to the pillar together with the chair.
nShe couldn’t move.
n“Yeah, I’m crazy. I was also driven crazy by your good friend!”
n“It’s all her fault, it’s all her fault!”
nThe hand holding the knife waved back and forth in front of Lu Jinwan’s eyes with a vicious gaze.
n“Tell me, if she doesn’t come, where do you think I should make the first cut? How about I cut your face first?”
n“Then I’ll make a video for her. Isn’t she your good friend? If you feel sorry for her, she might come soon.”
n“Stop dreaming. Yiyi will definitely bring the police to save me.”
n“You mean she dares to call the police?”
n
n
nShe seemed to be agitated by the word ‘police’.
nIn addition, a hooligan behind her reminded her in a low voice, “Sister Ying, the time is just right, there’s no one outside…”
n“Alright, Qin Yiyi doesn’t dare to come. Alright, record a video for me. I’ll send it over in a while. Let that person take a good look at what her good friend has suffered because of her…” The girl who was called Sister Ying sneered twice. She actually raised the fruit knife in her hand and slashed it at Lu Jinwan’s face!
nLu Jinwan was so scared that she screamed and closed her eyes forcefully!
nThe expected pain did not come.
nInstead, there was a muffled groan by her ear, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.
nAfter a long while, Lu Jinwan, who was covered in cold sweat, slowly opened her eyes.
nIn front of her, a tall and slender figure walked in step by step. Her expression was somber, and her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.
nIn an instant, she took care of the entire matter, dispelling all the haze and fear in front of her.
n“Yiyi!” Lu Jinwan burst into tears..
n
