Chapter 27.

In a remote equipment room deep inside the gymnasium, Qian Yirong came to the door of the equipment room, grabbed the door handle and pulled it, but there was no way to open it. After all, it was she who had tampered with it.

"What's wrong, sister?" Xu Baiqing asked, feigning confusion as she leaned closer. She imitated Qian Yirong and reached out to tug at the door, then exclaimed deliberately, "What's going on? Why won't the door open?"

Qian Yirong looked at Xu Baiqing, who was grinning cunningly like a little fox, and knew that the current situation was deliberately designed by her. From her verbal hints, Xu Baiqing guessed what she might do, so when he was about to succeed, he involved her as well.

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone outside?" Qian Yirong simply ignored the little fox who was enjoying himself, and asked loudly while knocking on the door.

The equipment room was at the deepest part of the gymnasium, and because the gymnasium was built with genuine materials, it was slightly soundproof. In addition, not many people came to the equipment room in the gymnasium, so Qian Yirong opened the door for a while but it was of no use at all.

"Are you sure you didn't bring your cell phone?" Qian Yirong gave up on making noise to attract people over, and asked Xu Baiqing with this hope.

"I really didn't bring my cell phone with me because I thought I could go back to the classroom soon and it wouldn't delay anything without my cell phone." Xu Baiqing didn't lie.

Qian Yirong fell silent. She hadn't brought her phone with her. Now, the two of them were truly trapped in the equipment room. She sighed, feeling helpless for the moment, so she said to Xu Baiqing, "Forget it. Come with me first."

As she spoke, Qian Yirong brought Xu Baiqing to the corner she had prepared in advance. Passing through the dusty sports equipment and various somewhat gloomy cabinets, she found the corner against the wall inside the equipment room, which was decorated very warmly.

The floor was covered with a very soft-looking carpet, on which was neatly folded a not-too-thin quilt, and next to it was a large bag full of food, ranging from snacks to bread.

"Wow, I didn't expect that someone used the equipment room as a secret base. It seems that we won't have a hard time waiting for someone to rescue us." Xu Baiqing said exaggeratedly as he looked at the layout in front of him.

You know, although Xu Baiqing guessed that Qian Yirong might have locked him up for some purpose, he still felt a little uncomfortable. However, when he saw the place that Qian Yirong had arranged in advance, Xu Baiqing felt warm in his heart.

Qian Yirong thought that if she hadn't been fooling around outside, her and Xu Baiqing's disappearance would soon be discovered and they would be found soon, but she didn't expect that they were not released until dark.

However, since it wasn't raining yet and there was no power outage at the gym, the two of them turned on the lights in the equipment room. Xu Baiqing sat on the carpet and looked at Qian Yirong, who was a little restless, and said soothingly, "Rongrong, don't worry. Someone should come to find us soon."

Qian Yirong was just having trouble calming down because of the change in the plot. She was now locked up in the equipment room with Xu Baiqing. Fortunately, it was not her initiative, so the book did not react.

However, the plot that has already become a foregone conclusion should have been fixed. Qian Yirong was flipping through the dusty pages of the book, wondering why no one came to find them, and Xu Baiqing saw Qian Yirong suddenly look at the empty upper right corner as if she was reading something.

To be honest, she had seen Qian Yirong behave like this several times, but Xu Baiqing didn't see anything where Qian Yirong was looking, so she just thought she was in a daze. But now it was obvious that Qian Yirong was looking at something very seriously, and she showed some understanding on her face. It was obvious that she was indeed looking at something, but Xu Baiqing herself couldn't see it.

Xu Baiqing couldn't help but frown slightly. She didn't like things that she couldn't control, let alone things related to Qian Yirong. She didn't know whether it was a supernatural event or something else. Xu Baiqing only knew that if she couldn't find a way to figure it out, there would definitely be twists and turns with Qian Yirong.

Qian Yirong read the new content in the book and found out that after the physical education class, someone did notice that she and Xu Baiqing were missing, but under Bai Jingqiu's various guidance, others thought that she was the one who took Xu Baiqing away.

Except for Mu Zexuan and Li Jingyan who were worried that she would do something to Xu Baiqing, no one else had any intention of looking for them. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Xu Baiqing were a family. Maybe they had something to do, so they left.

Even after the next teacher asked about it, no one paid attention. After all, many students of Shengde always leave school early for many things, so after confirming that Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing left on their own initiative, the teacher did not investigate further.

Mu Zexuan was in an uneasy mood and waited until the afternoon class was over. After school, he finally couldn't help but call Xu Baiqing, but he keenly noticed the vibrating sound coming from Xu Baiqing's desk.

Then Mu Zexuan found Xu Baiqing's phone on her desk, which was vibrating constantly because of his call. Seeing Xu Baiqing's phone, Mu Zexuan became even more worried.

Although Xu Baiqing always defended Qian Yirong in front of him, in Mu Zexuan's opinion, Qian Yirong was targeting Xu Baiqing in various ways. This time both of them disappeared. Mu Zexuan thought that Xu Baiqing must have been taken away and bullied by Qian Yirong, so Mu Zexuan found Qu Xueer who wanted to leave school.

"What? You said Sister Rongrong took Sister Bai Qing away and bullied her? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Qu Xueer found Mu Zexuan's words ridiculous. In her opinion, Mu Zexuan had always been prejudiced against Qian Yirong.

And she knew that Xu Baiqing liked Qian Yirong, and she would definitely be very happy to be with Qian Yirong, just like she would be very happy if she could be with Chang Xian.

"Xue'er, believe me." Mu Zexuan knew that Qu Xue'er and Qian Yirong had a good relationship and would not believe what he said, but he was really worried about Xu Baiqing, so he could only say, "Otherwise, you can call Qian Yirong. As long as she is sure that she did not bully Baiqing, I can apologize to her."

"You said it, it's a deal." Qu Xueer had long wanted to change Qian Yirong's bad impression in the eyes of Mu Zexuan and others. In addition, she was confident that Qian Yirong would not bully Xu Baiqing, or maybe they were dating, and then she could ask Xu Baiqing how to get along with someone she liked.

So Qu Xueer took out her cell phone and called Qian Yirong under Mu Zexuan's expectant gaze, but no one answered the call, which made Qu Xueer a little nervous.

"Why didn't you answer?" Mu Zexuan couldn't help but say anxiously.

"Brother Zexuan, don't worry. Maybe Sister Rongrong didn't hear it. I'll call again." Qu Xueer suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and continued to call Qian Yirong, but still no one answered.

"Stop busying yourself. Qian Yirong didn't bring her cell phone." Just as Mu Zexuan was anxiously watching Qu Xueer calling Qian Yirong non-stop, Li Jingyan's voice came. They turned their heads and saw Li Jingyan with an ugly expression holding a flashy cell phone in his hand that didn't suit him at all.

"This is Sister Rongrong's cell phone, how come it's here with you?" Qu Xueer asked in surprise.

"Just now in the classroom, I heard some movement at Qian Yirong's seat and found her cell phone." Li Jingyan replied.

He discussed with Mu Zexuan and decided to stay in the classroom and wait for a while, maybe Xu Baiqing would come back soon. Mu Zexuan came to Qu Xueer to inquire about Qian Yirong's situation.

As a result, Li Jingyan discovered that not only Xu Baiqing, but even Qian Yirong did not bring a mobile phone. Now the situation was a little strange. If Qian Yirong really wanted to deal with Xu Baiqing, there was no need for her to not bring anything.

"What happened? Were they kidnapped?" Mu Zexuan couldn't help but suspect the worst.

Although Shengde High School has very complete security, it does not mean that no one is targeting the rich and noble students in the school. So when Mu Zexuan found that even Qian Yirong's disappearance was a bit strange, he couldn't help but think of the worst outcome.

"No... no..." Qu Xueer's face turned pale with fear. When she was a child, she was also targeted by a desperado. If the bodyguards at home had not reacted in time, she would probably have been taken away.

But even so, the brutality of those desperate criminals left a big shadow on her. Now that she found out that Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing might be kidnapped, she couldn't help but panic. Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing were both weak girls. If they really fell into the hands of those desperate criminals who were after money, she didn't know how much suffering they would suffer.

"Don't scare yourself first. Xue'er, you should have Mrs. Qian's phone number. Call her and try to see if the Qian family has received any blackmail call?" Li Jingyan arranged calmly.

"Okay, Brother Jingyan, I'll call my aunt right now." Qu Xueer, who was a little flustered, responded immediately after hearing Li Jingyan's words.

"Zexuan, don't worry too much. Maybe they forgot to bring their cell phones." Li Jingyan saw Qu Xueer walk aside to make a phone call, and looked at Mu Zexuan with a grim expression. He had seen clearly what his friend was thinking about Xu Baiqing these days, but because he also had some unclear thoughts about Xu Baiqing, he did not become the one to break the window paper.

However, in the current situation, he was also worried that Mu Zexuan would become distracted and do something inappropriate, so he tried to calm him down. While Qu Xueer was calling Qian's mother, her nervous expression gradually relaxed.

"Brother Jingyan, my aunt hasn't received any blackmail calls, so it shouldn't be a kidnapping." After Qu Xueer hung up the phone, she replied with a more relaxed look.

Mu Zexuan and Li Jingyan both breathed a sigh of relief. Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing had been missing for an entire afternoon. If it was really a kidnapping, the kidnappers would ask the families for a ransom the moment they succeeded. The question now became where Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing had gone.
