After hanging up with the teacher, He Lingchuan immediately called Shen Yanxi.
When the call connected, He Lingchuan immediately launched into a barrage of questions: "Didn't you tell me that Nan Chen and Bei Chen were at school? Why did their teacher call me and say they weren't there? Shen Yanxi, how many more things are you hiding from me?"
There was no reply from the other end for a long time, and He Lingchuan did not urge her. Instead, he told her to go to the school: "If you don't bring the child with you, I will have no choice but to cause trouble for the school."
He Lingchuan didn't give Shen Yanxi a chance to speak at all; his goal was to get Shen Yanxi to take the children to school.
The Shen family values their reputation. If they start causing trouble for the school, the teachers will definitely call the Shen family. If Shen Yanxi doesn't want this matter to escalate, she must bring her child over.
He Lingchuan's face turned pale, and he glared at the driver, urging him on.
He had urged them three or four times along the way.
In less than ten minutes, He Lingchuan had arrived at the school.
He jogged all the way and stood panting at the door of Nan Chen and Bei Chen's classroom.
The teacher was waiting there early, and next to her stood a man who answered gracefully.
She looked to be in her forties, with a middle-part hairstyle, and looked quite proper.
"Hello, Mr. He."
The man stood up to greet He Lingchuan and began to introduce himself: "I am the school principal, you can just call me Principal Li."
He Lingchuan reached past the outstretched hand and asked bluntly, "Where is my son?"
"Mr. He, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Your child hasn't been to school for several days. How can you ask us to take back your child?"
He Lingchuan paused in his turn, then squinted at Principal Li: "Are you saying you don't want to take responsibility?"
He pushed open the door, looked at the children outside, and threatened, "If you don't find my child, I'll come here every day and put up banners saying that your school has hidden my son."
Principal Li immediately panicked. He knew He Lingchuan's temper; this man was really capable of doing such a thing.
To reassure him, Principal Li could only give a vague reply: "Mr. He, please don't worry. We will definitely do our best to find these two children, but you can't keep relying on our school. After all, the children weren't lost at school. Why don't you ask their families to see if they know where the children are?"
Principal Li spoke gently, attempting to persuade He Lingchuan.
But He Lingchuan wouldn't listen to anything. He looked at Principal Li with a cold expression and said, "Since you think my family took the child away, why didn't they tell you?"
He Lingchuan sat up straight, his eyes filled with pressure: "Principal Li, I don't really want to make things difficult for you, I just feel that your school lacks a sense of responsibility."
Since the two children have been absent from school for so many days, regardless of whether it was at the parents' behest, the school teachers should ask the parents what happened as soon as possible.
Instead of calling several days later.
He Lingchuan raised his head and looked directly into Principal Li's eyes: "Principal Li, if I hadn't agreed to invest in this school, would you still have called me to tell me that my child didn't come to school? You would probably prefer that the parents never know about this in their entire lives, right?"
He Lingchuan is now convinced that the two children disappeared at the school, and he keeps insisting that the school be held responsible.
Hearing his words, Principal Li's face grew even more somber: "You're clearly being unreasonable. It's your fault for not bringing the child over, how can you..."
“Principal Li, whether you think I’m unreasonable or a rough man, I’m telling you clearly today: if you don’t see the child, you can forget about getting your investment money.”
Upon hearing this, Principal Li immediately stood up: "Mr. He, you can't joke like that."
Do you think I'm joking with you?
He Lingchuan knew these people's character all too well. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, fearless.
He Lingchuan curled his fingers and tapped them lightly on the sofa: "I'm only giving you one day. I don't care what methods you use, you must find the child for me, otherwise, you can forget about getting this money."
Principal Li stood up and paced back and forth in front of He Lingchuan, looking troubled: "Are you deliberately causing us trouble?"
"I've already said I don't want this."
He Lingchuan leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and didn't intend to speak again.
He Lingchuan was so anxious when he heard the news that he blamed the school for everything.
He almost forgot that the reason they sent Nan Chen and Bei Chen here was because the school was safe enough.
They shouldn't have made this mistake.
The only possibility is that they had already discussed it with Shen Yanxi.
They must know the child is with Shen Yanxi, which is why they aren't worried at all.
If Shen Yanxi hadn't delayed in giving them investment funds, they probably wouldn't have made this call to her.
He Lingchuan closed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. Since Shen Yanxi didn't want compensation but still wanted the child, he shouldn't blame him for being heartless and causing a scene at the school.
He Lingchuan made up his mind not to leave until he saw the child.
If the principal still wants investment and a good reputation, he has no choice but to call Shen Yanxi over.
As He Lingchuan expected, Shen Yanxi arrived at school twenty minutes later.
He Lingchuan peeked out the door and asked, "Where's the child?"
He looked at Shen Yanxi with a cold face. Only now did he truly witness the ruthlessness of this woman.
He took two steps to stand in front of Shen Yanxi, grabbed her collar and questioned, "You're ruthless enough to make two children drop out of school just to get revenge on me."
“I chose other schools for them, I forgot to tell you.”
Shen Yanxi responded to him indifferently, her face cold, and she pushed He Lingchuan's hand away with some disdain: "Don't embarrass me here, hurry up and come back with me."
He Lingchuan shook off Shen Yanxi's outstretched hand and lay lazily on the sofa: "If you don't hand over the child, I'm not leaving."
Shen Yanxi frowned: "Are you crazy? This is a school, are you going to live here?"
"What's wrong with that? Compared to what you've done, I've only embarrassed you. Is that too much to ask?"
He Lingchuan knew he couldn't reason with Shen Yanxi, so he simply shifted his gaze to the arrogant man: "Principal, do you not want the money anymore?"
The principal looked at Shen Yanxi with some difficulty. He knew that He Lingchuan had seen through their shady dealings, so he stopped hiding it and asked her directly, "Miss Shen, you see, if you don't give us the money, we can only find someone else. Why don't you give the child to him?"
Shen Yanxi put her bag on the table, looking disdainful: "You really think he can take out the money?"
She rolled her eyes, as if in a fit of pique, and said, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. If He Lingchuan can really come up with ten million, I'll let the child come back."
