Chapter 194 Reversal

"We..." Ding Yong and his wife looked at each other and saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes. Obviously, they still had many concerns and worries in their hearts about going to find the Purple-Robed Envoy.

However, after a brief thought, he made up his mind, "Okay, we will follow the boss's arrangements."

However, just as Chu Ci opened the door, he faintly heard: "Mr. Sun... Niuniu has been found,... Mr. Sun,... Mr. Sun, Principal Chu, Niuniu has been found, Principal Chu——"

Chu Ci made a quick decision: "Go to the door, no, go to the backyard."

But then Chu Ci changed his mind and realized that if he took Ding Yong and Sun Fu with him, the speed would definitely be too slow, which might waste a lot of time.

So she hurriedly said, "Fifteen, take someone out immediately to check if there's anyone in the outer courtyard. Act quickly, there can't be any delay."

"Yes." Fifteen responded immediately. Although his hearing was not as sensitive as Chu Ci's and he could not hear all the sounds as clearly as Chu Ci, he could still hear some movements.

At this moment, only Ding Yong and his wife looked bewildered. They had no idea what was happening outside. They were completely in the dark and had no idea what was going on. They could only look at Chu Ci with confusion. "Boss?"

"Wait a moment, maybe there will be good news." Chu Ci didn't know the specific situation and didn't say anything absolutely.

Ding Yong and Sun Fu looked at each other. They had no idea what kind of news could be considered good news at this time.

They could only suppress the irritation that was gradually welling up in their hearts and nodded helplessly.

Fortunately, Fifteen's pace was very fast. In just a few minutes, his agile figure once again jumped into everyone's sight.

But who is the person in his arms?

"Niuniu, Niuniu--" An Niang was the first to recognize her daughter, and then she rushed towards the direction of Shiwu like an arrow.

Compared to the moment An Niang saw her daughter, whose heart and eyes were filled with only her daughter, Ding Yong's doubts became even deeper.

He immediately turned to look at Chu Ci and said, "Boss, what?"

Chu Ci did not respond.

Fifteen took over the conversation, "Niuniu was brought here by Zhang Shulan from the Women's College. I've had someone bring her in. We'll have to wait for Zhang Shulan to arrive to inquire about the details."

"Zhang Shulan?" When Ding Yong heard the name, his voice involuntarily rose a few notches, full of astonishment.

This exclamation also made Sun Fu, who was originally completely focused on her daughter, regain her sanity in an instant.

Sun Fu hurriedly pulled Niu Niu out of her arms gently but firmly and made her stand up.

Then he asked solemnly, "Niuniu, please tell me in detail, what is the story behind that note in your room? Why is it with your mother's student? What happened in between?"

"I...Mom, I'm sorry." Niu Niu has always been a well-behaved, sensible and perceptive child. She can naturally easily see the deep worry that her parents are carrying in their hearts at this moment.

However, she did not regret what she had done in her heart.

If it were in the past, if Niu Niu had apologized so obediently, everyone present would have felt soft-hearted.

But at this moment, the situation was completely different. Sun Fu frowned tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety and severity as she pressed on, "Tell me, what's going on?"

She was so eager to know the truth that her tone became urgent and serious.

"I..." Niu Niu looked at Sun Fu cautiously first, her eyes full of nervousness and anxiety, then looked at Ding Yong, and then shifted her gaze to Chu Ci.

She saw that the three of them all had solemn expressions, and that serious expression seemed to hang over her heart like a dark cloud. At this moment, she finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

Her little hands were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, her lips were trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Her look made people feel pity for her.

But even so, Chu Ci and the other two remained serious and unmoved.

Seeing this, Niu Niu became more and more panicked.

Finally, he began to stammer and tell the whole story: "Niuniu...it's...because I want to help Sister Changqing."

"Sister Changqing is so pitiful. She has been working hard to support the whole family, but she is always beaten by her husband and looked down upon by her step-son and step-daughter."

"Niuniu couldn't bear to see Sister Changqing in such pain, so she wanted to help her escape from that hellish predicament."

As soon as Niu Niu finished speaking, Ding Yong became furious and raised his hand to teach Niu Niu a lesson.

But Chu Ci reached out his hand just in time to stop her, and then asked softly, "Changqing? Niuniu, when and where did you meet this Sister Changqing?"

"Yes, it's at the 'pre-marital training' place. Sister Changqing has been there several times, but every time she reached the door, she didn't dare to go in."

Because of Chu Ci's gentle attitude, Niu Niu's originally nervous and fearful mood gradually eased, and she became less restrained, so she spoke more and more fluently.

"Then Niuniu, have you ever asked your sister Changqing why she lingered around the 'premarital training' area many times but didn't go in?" Chu Ci asked again.

Niu Niu did not give Chu Ci an answer this time, but just shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Just when Chu Ci and the others thought the clue was about to be lost.

Zhang Shulan walked in slowly, led by the maid from the mansion.

As soon as Zhang Shulan came in, she said, "Headmaster, let me handle this matter."

Ci did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked with a serious expression and a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "Zhang Shulan, can you tell me about your identity first?"

However, before Zhang Shulan could speak, Sun Fu spoke first, "Zhang Shulan is a disciple I have high hopes for. As for other aspects..."

Even though Sun Fu did not express the unspoken meaning, Chu Ci understood it.

Zhang Shulan was not angry at being treated like this.

Instead, he calmly and respectfully bowed before slowly saying, "Principal Chu, Mr. Sun. Shulan is just an ordinary student at the Future Women's College."

"If you must mention something else, then Liu Changqing is the student's cousin. Apart from this, there is nothing else."

However, the more calm Zhang Shulan acted, the more alert Chu Ci became.

However, Chu Ci just hid this vigilance deep in his heart and did not show it at all on the surface.

Still with a calm expression, he said, "Can you tell me how you met Niuniu, and how you found this place so accurately?"
