Chapter 1090 The Death of the Old Dean
The "Zhuangzhuang" that Aunt Meng mentioned was the baby with congenital heart disease that Ye Wanxi had seen at the orphanage before.
Because the child was born with a heart condition and was premature, his constitution was much weaker than other children. Aunt Meng was always worried that she wouldn't be able to raise him, so she gave him this nickname, hoping that he would grow up strong and healthy.
When Ye Wanxi saw the child, she decided to sponsor his medical treatment in her own name, and she would take two or three days every month to visit him and the other children in the orphanage.
Ye Wanxi has been too busy lately and hasn't been to the orphanage to see the children for three or four months.
Upon hearing Aunt Meng mention Zhuangzhuang, Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then her expression changed drastically: "Zhuangzhuang is missing? How could he be missing?"
Although Ye Wanxi's financial assistance provided Zhuangzhuang with the money for his medical treatment, the child was premature and weak, and even at over a year old, he still walked unsteadily.
Even when Aunt Meng wasn't personally looking after him, the older children in the orphanage would spontaneously help take care of the youngest brother.
Ye Wanxi couldn't understand it. The child was always being watched over, so how could he have disappeared?
Hearing Ye Wanxi's voice, Aunt Meng felt as if she had found her pillar of support. She cried with a mixture of guilt and anxiety: "Around one or two o'clock, the children in the yard took Zhuangzhuang to take a nap. I watched them all fall asleep and then went out to take care of other things. When I finished, I figured the children should have woken up by then, so I went to check on them and found that Zhuangzhuang was missing."
“When the children who were napping with him woke up, they found that he was missing. At first, they thought he had woken up earlier than them and was bored because no one was playing with him, so he ran out on his own. They searched around outside and only realized they couldn't find him when they got anxious. When they saw me coming, they cried like crazy. It took me a while to find out what happened, and then I took them to search the yard again.”
"The front and back gates of our compound, and all the other exits, have been locked for the past few days. He couldn't have gone out alone. We've practically turned the whole compound upside down, but we still haven't found him. Finally, we found a note under the bed in the room where the kids take their afternoon nap. It said that Zhuangzhuang had been taken away by him and that you should go to the highest point of that Wangchuan residential area at nine o'clock tonight to find him, or else... or else... we'll throw Zhuangzhuang off there."
This was the first time Aunt Meng had encountered something like this in all her years at the orphanage.
In her search for Zhuangzhuang, she reviewed the orphanage's security footage but couldn't find any evidence of the kidnappers breaking into the orphanage and taking Zhuangzhuang away.
The other person seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear just as suddenly. If it weren't for leaving this note, no one would have known of his existence.
"Wangchuan Residential Area?" Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly as she began to guess the identity of the person who had taken Zhuangzhuang away.
She just couldn't understand why he was doing this. What was his purpose in taking Zhuangzhuang away and arranging to meet her? Was it a threat? An attack? Or was he trying to negotiate with her?
Upon hearing these four words, Feng Tianyu's expression darkened, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had guessed it as well.
"Yes, it's Wangchuan Residential Area. Wanxi, do you know who took Zhuangzhuang away? Is Zhuangzhuang in danger? Should I...should I call the police?"
After talking for a long time, Aunt Meng finally belatedly realized that she should have called the police first in this situation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi hurriedly said, "No, don't call the police yet, leave this to me."
"You'll handle this?" Aunt Meng asked with concern. "Won't it be dangerous? Maybe we should call the police. It's safer to let professionals handle this kind of thing."
"No, no, no, Aunt Meng, listen to me. We definitely need to call the police, but if you call them, it might alert them. I'll call them. Don't worry, I'll bring Zhuangzhuang back safely. You and the other children just wait patiently in the yard. Everything will be fine."
"Is this... is this possible?"
"Why not? Aunt Meng, don't worry, I'm much better than most people now."
After hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Aunt Meng seemed to have thought of something, and finally relented: "Then... then be careful, don't push yourself, don't go alone, call the police and have someone go with you to protect you."
Ye Wanxi felt a warmth in her heart and smiled gently, "I know, I will take good care of myself. You all stay home and wait for us, we will definitely come back safely."
"well……"
Ye Wanxi gave Aunt Meng a few more instructions, then a thought flashed through her mind and she suddenly asked, "By the way, Aunt Meng, do you remember what illness the Dean's mother had and which hospital she passed away in?"
Aunt Meng paused for a moment before saying, "It seems to be the city hospital. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered. I suddenly received a call from the hospital director's mother who had suddenly passed away from an illness. I was completely stunned. Then I was in a car accident. Now when I think back to that scene, I feel confused and can't remember clearly."
"It should be the city hospital. I only heard about it from people in the neighborhood after I got back. The former director collapsed suddenly from an illness. The ambulance arrived very quickly, but unfortunately, they couldn't save him in the end."
Aunt Meng couldn't help but sigh as she spoke: "You and Zhuangzhuang must come back safely. Aunt Meng only hopes that you will both be well."
"Um."
Feng Tianyu was somewhat surprised when Ye Wanxi suddenly asked about the old dean.
As soon as Ye Wanxi hung up the phone, she immediately asked, "Do you suspect that the old dean's death is also related to him?"
"I just think it's too much of a coincidence. How could he know that I would be passing by that road at that time? If I hadn't suddenly received the news that the dean's mother had passed away from a sudden illness, I would have been working part-time at the store at that time and would not have been on the main road at all."
But that guy had started instigating He's father to hit him several days in advance, and had even arranged everything the day before she was hit.
Every time Ye Wanxi thought about it for a little longer, she couldn't help but feel a chill run through her body.
If... if the headmistress's death wasn't an accident either...
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan..."
Ye Wanxi was engrossed in her own speculations, her mind a jumbled mess, when she heard Feng Tianyu's worried whisper.
"Don't get hung up on it. Whether he has anything to do with it or not, it's not your fault."
Ye Wanxi forced a smile: "I just... want to know the truth."
Feng Tianyu frowned and gripped Ye Wanxi's cold hands tightly: "I'll have Lao Si check the old dean's diagnostic records in a bit."
"Um."
“I’ll go with you tonight.” Feng Tianyu said, his eyes suddenly narrowing.
Regardless of whether the old dean's death was related to him or not, his previous actions were enough for them to tear him to pieces.
This time, he will definitely not let him escape again!
