After Zhu Qianying finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Yan Shao. If their guess was true, then perhaps more unpredictable things would happen in the future.
After all, Vic Zhou was in the open, while the other party was in the dark. And how many people, like this child, are being used without even realizing it?
Besides this child, are there any others?
The more Zhu Qianying thought about it, the more horrified she felt.
As if sensing her fear, Yan Shao patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
"It's alright. We should be able to find the uncle that the child is talking about."
Zhu Qianying, however, was not quite convinced. "How can we find them in this vast sea of people?"
Yan Shao said confidently, "Fool, there will definitely be surveillance cameras at the school gate, and there will also be surveillance cameras on the main roads nearby. Even if this child refuses to say what his uncle's name is or where he lives, we have plenty of ways to find him."
Young Master Yan is a decisive person, and since this matter concerns the personal safety of his beloved son, he took out his phone and called the principal as soon as he finished speaking, saying that he needed to go over immediately to check the surveillance footage at the school gate over the past month or two.
The principal is still in a state of panic. Even if it were a child from an ordinary family, let alone the one who almost caused a death, it would still be enough to frighten and torment him.
Right now, it seems that Young Master Yan doesn't intend to pursue the matter further; he's even burning incense and praying to Buddha and gods.
So when Yan Shao asked to see the surveillance footage, he immediately replied, "Okay, okay, no problem. I'll head back right away and have them get ready."
Yan Shao didn't waste any words, not even thanking him, and hung up the phone directly.
As for the principal's matter, he will deal with it after he finds out the truth and finds the real culprit. Of course, if the principal is innocent, he will not impose any charges on him.
"Ying'er, you don't need to wait for me tonight. Go to sleep early. Kai and I are going to the school."
As Yan Shao changed his clothes and went out, Zhu Qianying suddenly remembered something that everyone seemed to have overlooked before.
"Young Master Yan, I suddenly remembered something strange. Since that child is an orphan, shouldn't he be attending a school affiliated with an orphanage, or perhaps a public school? The tuition at Zizai's school isn't cheap. It's unlikely that an orphanage would pay such an expensive tuition for him, right?"
After Zhu Qianying brought it up, Yan Shao also felt it was inappropriate. Just then, Yan Bo was still reading a magazine in the living room. Zhu Qianying nudged Yan Shao, "Go to the school and check the surveillance footage. I'll talk to Dad about what we just discussed."
Yan Shao hummed in agreement, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then touched her face, and specifically told her, "Go to sleep early later, don't wait for me, I might not be able to see the dawn."
Zhu Qianying nodded, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. "Okay, I know. If you're not back by midnight, I'll go to sleep."
After seeing Yan Shao out, Zhu Qianying returned to the living room and mentioned the tuition fee to Yan Bo, who seemed to suddenly understand.
How could we have forgotten something so important?
After saying that, he immediately took out his phone and called the director of the welfare home again. As soon as the call was connected, Yan Bo got straight to the point.
"Director, I'd like to know who pays that child's tuition at school? Is it the orphanage?"
Without hesitation, the other party replied, "Mr. Yan, we received an anonymous transfer of funds, supposedly for Xiao Hai's tuition, and it specified the school he would be attending. When we took Xiao Hai to register, we found out that the tuition amount was indeed the same as the amount of the transferred money."
Yan Bo thought for a moment, "Is it anonymous? Then please send me the details of that payment so I can check where the money came from."
For the welfare director, tracing the source of the money might be difficult, but for Yanbo, it was a piece of cake.
Only then did the dean show a hint of fear. "Mr. Yan, could it be that Xiao Hai has been implicated in some money laundering scandal?"
"Don't worry, that's not true."
That being said, in Yan Bo and Zhu Qianying's view at this moment, this Xiao Hai is basically inseparable from Zizai's incident.
It could even be said that he played a very important role in this. As for the actual situation, perhaps only when Zai Zai speaks out on his own initiative, or when Xiao Hai speaks out, will the truth come to light.
Zhu Qianying stayed with Yan Bo in the living room while they waited for the dean's call. About half an hour later, the dean sent all the relevant information about the bill to Yan Bo's email address.
Yan Bo opened the document, glanced at the time, and said to Zhu Qianying, "Ying'er, it's getting late. Go to sleep. I'll have someone investigate the source of this money first thing tomorrow morning."
After being repeatedly urged to go back to her room to sleep, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to get up, go back to her room to take a shower, and lie on the bed holding her iPad to browse the relevant information and materials about the international food exhibition that her mother was going to attend.
Then, on the food expo's homepage, I saw the names of Jingjing Restaurant and my mom on the list of participants for this year's expo.
So, Mom has three days left before she goes to the food expo. Should we let her meet with Zizai before she leaves for the expo?
If they see the marks on Zizai's face, it won't be easy to make up excuses. After all the back and forth, his mother will probably force him to reveal the truth.
So, will the mother's performance in the competition be affected by knowing that her grandson's life is in danger?
But if she doesn't see him, her mother, who loves her so much, will definitely feel uneasy, which will still affect her performance in the competition.
Unable to make up her mind, Zhu Qianying thought she would wait for Yan Shao to discuss it with her again before making a decision.
Meanwhile, Yan Shao and Ke Kai spent several hours in the principal's office at the school.
They were even prepared to go to the traffic police department to retrieve surveillance videos from all the intersections near the school if they couldn't find any useful videos at the school, and then examine them bit by bit.
Fortunately, their efforts paid off. Around 2 a.m., Yan Shao and Ke Kai finally saw a man leading a boy named Xiao Hai from Zizai's class to a car.
The surveillance camera was probably a bit far from where the students were lining up to park, and the person happened to have their back to the camera. Yan Shao and Ke Kai didn't see the person's face until the person led Xiao Hai into the car.
He didn't show his face until he put Xiao Hai in the back seat and walked around to the driver's side.
Because it was a bit far away, even the face was blurry. Ke Kai zoomed in on the image, and the person's face gradually became more recognizable.
"It's him!?" Yan Shao and Ke Kai exclaimed in unison.
