Chapter 113 (Two in One)
Lin Shuyue's eyes fell on the two of them. Both of them were very beautiful. The girl with short hair was youthful and bright, as energetic as a sunflower, while the other one had long black hair with bangs, beautiful looks and a slender figure. They were two completely different types.
Bai Fuan frowned when he saw them. "Xu Simiao, Liu Shuqing, we take the issue you raised very seriously. Last time, we also retrieved the surveillance footage of the day you thought someone was following you. You were there at the time and watched it, and there was nothing unusual, right?"
"During this period, the school's security has also been increased, and the teachers have also organized patrol teams, but I really haven't seen anyone unusual."
Bai Fuan was quite troubled. Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing were freshmen this year. They had been good friends since high school. After entering college, they studied the same major and lived in the same dormitory. They went in and out of the same dormitory together and had excellent academic performance.
Bai Fuan likes them very much, but there is one thing. The two of them had reported more than once that someone was following them, and Bai Fuan certainly took this issue very seriously. He personally went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage of the places they passed that day, but found nothing, not even a single abnormal person.
Xu Simiao is a girl with short hair. When she heard Bai Fuan say this, she was silent for a moment: "But teacher, we really feel like someone is following us. It would be fine if it was just my illusion, but Shuqing also noticed it."
"Yes, teacher, my feeling has always been accurate. There really is someone following us."
Bai Fuan rubbed his brows and said, "How about this, wait a moment, I'll go to the monitoring room to take a look, okay?"
When Xu Simiao heard Bai Fuan's perfunctory words, she was about to get angry, but Liu Shuqing immediately grabbed her. Xu Simiao glanced at Liu Shuqing and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Thank you, teacher." Liu Shuqing knew that there was no point in continuing. If she checked the surveillance footage, it would definitely be the same as last time, with nothing unusual to be seen. After she finished speaking, she took Xu Simiao and walked outside.
Bai Fuan was not just trying to be perfunctory with them, he really thought they should check the surveillance footage. After this, Bai Fuan no longer had the heart to chat with Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue glanced at the watch on her wrist. She had been out for quite a long time, so she prepared to leave. Bai Fuan waved at her and continued to work.
Lin Shuyue went downstairs from Bai Fuan's office. At the flower bed at the door, she saw Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing who were having a conflict.
Lin Shuyue walked up to them and took the initiative to talk to them: "Xu, Liu, hello, I am a student of the Journalism Department graduating in 2000, my name is Lin Shuyue."
Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing looked at each other, and the little conflict just now was instantly put aside. Xu Simiao became much more outgoing: "Hello, senior sister, we are Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing from the class of 2004. We always hear teachers talk about you."
Lin Shuyue's work is really outstanding. Even in Pengcheng, the news she reports often goes viral. Many of her cases can cause a sensation across the country. Bai Fuan, as her mentor, is very proud of her. When teaching Xu Simiao and others, he would use Lin Shuyue as an example. As a result, Xu Simiao and others became very interested in Lin Shuyue's reports. Their class even specially asked someone to subscribe to the Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily.
Who among those who apply for the journalism department doesn’t have the ambition to become a famous reporter? Lin Shuyue achieved such success at such a young age, and immediately became a role model in everyone's mind. All the content she reported was the knowledge they discussed in their spare time. Xu Simiao even wrote an article analyzing the people in Lin Shuyue's report.
As soon as they entered Professor Bai's office, they saw Lin Shuyue. After all, she was young and beautiful, with such a charming temperament. Who wouldn't like her? If it had been any other time when he met Lin Shuyue, Xu Simiao would have been extremely excited with Liu Shuqing and discussed her reports with her, but unfortunately, they were both upset right now.
Xu Simiao glanced at Lin Shuyue and didn't expect that she was the Lin Shuyue that Professor Bai always talked about. She was so beautiful.
Lin Shuyue didn't expect Professor Bai to mention her in class, but now was not the time to talk about this. She asked the two of them, "Hello, hello. Just now I heard you say in the professor's office that you felt someone was following you, right? Can you tell me in detail?"
Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing looked at each other again, and they both remembered the type of news that Lin Shuyue often reported, which were all criminal investigations. Maybe she could really help them?
So Xu Simiao said, "Yes, I started having this feeling last week. Whenever we go out, we always feel like someone is following us, but when we turn around, we find nothing."
As soon as Xu Simiao finished speaking, Liu Shuqing spoke up, "The strongest feeling for us was on Sunday night, when Simiao and I came back from a hometown gathering. It was already past nine o'clock. When we came out of the KTV, we felt someone behind us. At a corner in front of the school, we saw a shadow following us. When we arrived at the school, the shadow kept following us. When we were about to reach the dormitory building, the feeling disappeared."
Every school has an alumni association. Lin Shuyue had this alumni association when she was in college in both of her lives. One of Lin Shuyue’s roommates in her previous life always had dinner and parties with her classmates from the alumni association.
When Liu Shuqing said this, she fearfully grabbed Xu Simiao's hand, and the two little girls trembled.
Lin Shuyue recalled the conversation they had just had with Bai Fuan in the office: "The teacher checked the surveillance for you, right? Didn't you see any suspicious people?"
Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing shook their heads at the same time: "It would be nice if there was, but no."
The sun was too strong at noon, and the three of them walked outside while talking.
Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing were going off-campus. Liu Shuqing had asthma and she had run out of her asthma medicine, so she needed to go to the hospital to get it.
Neither of them had classes in the afternoon, but as soon as they left school, the feeling of being watched appeared again, and they immediately ran towards Bai Fuan's office.
Lin Shuyue is not very old, and when she walks with Xu Simiao and the others, she looks like a student who has not yet graduated, and there is no sense of incongruity at all. She turned on her good and evil radar, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The hotel where she stayed was on the same road as the school they were going to. Lin Shuyue got on the bus with them. After getting on the bus, the three of them chose the last row unanimously.
Apart from the three of them, there was no one else in the big seat in the last row.
Lin Shuyue asked them quietly, "Do you still have that feeling of being followed?"
Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing felt it carefully and shook their heads: "Not this time."
Lin Shuyue nodded, took out her phone and exchanged contact information with them: "If you still have that feeling, you can tell me."
Xu Simiao nodded, and then she said: "In fact, I am not the only one who feels that I am being followed. There is a post on the school forum that talks about this matter."
Lin Shuyue asked in detail about the name of the post
I decided to take a look at the content when I get back.
Xu
When we returned to the hotel, Lin Shuxing was still sleeping. With the minimum temperature at 16 degrees, he felt particularly comfortable sleeping.
Lin Shuyue went to the bathroom to wash her face, washed off all the sweat on her face, returned to the hotel table, turned on the computer, entered the URL of the Yangcheng School Forum, and quickly logged in.
Lin Shuyue entered the keyword on the homepage and searched for the post.
The post was made by a sophomore female student in the Foreign Languages Department. According to her, she has always said that she was being stalked, and her statement was similar to Xu Simiao's.
There were also many replies under her post, most of which were from girls. Some people, like Xu Simiao and his companions, went to their mentors to check the surveillance footage, but still found nothing.
The post had more than fifty floors, but as there was no follow-up from Britain and the United States, it gradually sank. Lin Shuyue looked at the last reply date and it was last month.
Lin Shuyue logged into Penguin, and ten minutes ago, she received a message from Hang Jiabai. He had already returned from Shancheng a long time ago. His mission was very successful and he was not injured at all. However, he was very busy after returning, and Lin Shuyue was also not idle. The two had not met for a long time, but they still chatted frequently on Penguin.
But judging from the time the two spent chatting, a chat software with instant replies turned it into a message board.
Just like now, Lin Shuyue sent a reply message, ten minutes have passed, and Hang Jiabai didn't move. Lin Shuyue didn't care, she lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in the soft bed in a moment.
When she got up, Lin Shuxing was gone. Lin Shuyue got up and washed her face, and then Lin Shuxing came back.
"I was just about to wake you up. Come on, hurry up. It's time to start reporting." Zeng Xiaoyi and her friends' reporting started at 2:30 this afternoon. After reporting, it was time for them to show their talents. After the show, the judges would give scores on the spot. If successful, there would be a formal competition the day after tomorrow.
This is similar to Mango TV's Super Girls talent show, but also a little different. This singing program is open to men, women, young and old. The auditions started a month ago, using a video audition model. Those who succeed in the auditions will be interviewed and selected starting today, and the selection will last until tomorrow night.
Lin Shuyue and her friends arrived at the gate of the provincial TV station. A very large awning had been set up on the open space outside the station. It had a stage, seats for the judges, and the lights on the stage were also very bright. Many people with dreams of music came here.
Some of them were sitting on seats under the awning, some were outside, some were holding guitars and other musical instruments, some were very nervous and were still singing quietly.
Lin Shuyue and the others found a place to sit down, and Zeng Xiaoyi was taken to the registration office in front by her music teacher Wang Xiaowan.
After Lin Shuyue and the others arrived, more people came one after another.
It was not until five o'clock that the organizer drew up a performance program based on the order of registration. Lin Shuyue and her friends arrived early and were the tenth.
Zeng Xiaoyi was very nervous and kept taking deep breaths. Lin Shuyue and the others kept comforting her. During the period, a camera was filming them, and Lin Shuxing even made a "yeah" gesture towards the camera.
Each person had one minute to perform without accompaniment. The judges scored very quickly, basically stopping the performance after singing two sentences and replacing it with the next person. Therefore, it was soon Zeng Xiaoyi's turn. Among the nine people before Zeng Xiaoyi, three were left and six were eliminated.
Except for the Mid-Autumn Festival party, it was Zeng Xiaoyi's first time to sing in front of so many people. She was a little scared. After going on stage, holding the microphone, she subconsciously looked for the position of Lin Shuyue and the others.
Lin Shuyue and the others waved at her. Zeng Xiaoyi smiled and began to introduce herself. She also talked about the song she was going to sing.
It is an English song with a high pitch and many vibratos.
After the judges called the start, Zeng Xiaoyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes and the singing came out. Her voice seemed to have its own accompaniment. Her pronunciation was exceptionally clear, and the transitions and high notes were also handled perfectly.
One of the judges stopped spinning the pen in his hand, and the noisy audience below also fell silent for a moment. After Zeng Xiaoyi finished singing the chorus, she stopped on her own initiative. Lin Shuyue and the others were the first to applaud, and the three judges also followed suit. After a brief discussion, they gave a good score of 9 points. This good score also meant that Zeng Xiaoyi advanced and would be able to participate in the formal competition the day after tomorrow.
Zeng Xiaoyi advanced and everyone was very happy. They didn’t plan to wait for the next interviewees and decided to go eat something first.
There is no such thing as a winter in Guangdong Province. Today the temperature is still over 30 degrees. We arrived at the edge of the Pearl River and found an open-air barbecue restaurant. We ordered some food and some wine. Wang Xiaowan, as Zeng Xiaoyi's teacher, has been providing free training to Zeng Xiaoyi during this period. Lou Fengqin is very grateful to her. It is not easy for a teacher to achieve this. I offered her several drinks.
Wang Xiaowan drank them all. After spending a long time with Zeng Xiaoyi, she also knew about Zeng Xiaoyi's affairs. My parents didn't care. Because I talked back a few times, they sent me to a school for internet addiction. After I left the school, my parents almost married me off. If I hadn't found a godmother, I wouldn't have even read books.
Wang Xiaowan had always felt that Zeng Xiaoyi’s godmother was particularly good to her. This time, the feeling was even more obvious. Lou Fengqin treated Zeng Xiaoyi no differently from her biological parents.
Who doesn't like a nice guy? The same was true for Wang Xiaowan. In just a short while, Wang Xiaowan had already called Lou Fengqin "sister", and Bai Wenhua was naturally upgraded to brother-in-law.
It was hot all day, and even the wind was hot elsewhere, but it was different by the river. The wind carrying the heat wave became cool when it reached the river.
The sky gradually darkened, the neon lights on the riverside lit up, and the ferry sailed across the Pearl River with a roar.
In such family outings, Lin Shuyue always played the role of taking photos. She took a lot of photos for everyone. When Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin were taking individual photos, a ship was passing by behind them. A wedding was being held on the ship. The entire ship was covered with white and pink balloons. On the deck, a newlywed couple pledged their lives to each other in front of an arch made of white and pink roses.
Because of the appearance of this ferry, more and more people came to hold the railings on the river bank to watch the excitement.
Wang Xiaowan looked at the ship sailing away with envy: "How romantic."
There is no woman who doesn't like romance. Lin Shuyue turned around and saw that except Bai Pingping, everyone else, from Zeng Xiaoyi to Lou Fengqin, had longing in their eyes.
Lin Shuyue sighed and patted Bai Pingping's hand. Bai Pingping smiled at Lin Shuyue.
After eating and drinking, Bai Wenhua paid for the boat tickets and took everyone on a ferry for a trip on the river. After returning, Bai Wenhua drove them back to the hotel. During this time, everyone kept talking.
Lin Shuyue returned to the hotel, and Lin Shuxing went to wash up first. She turned on the computer and sorted out today's photos. Before she finished, Xu Simiao's message came.
They stayed outside this afternoon and had a hotpot meal before coming back after dark. They were in a particularly good mood because they didn't feel like they were being watched. But all that changed after they came back from the library, and the feeling of being watched began to follow them again.
But as usual, they looked back and didn't see anyone suspicious.
Xu Simiao also sent the post on the forum about the feeling of being spied on. In the afternoon, someone replied to the post, saying that they were also being spied on.
Lin Shuyue frowned, replied to Xu Simiao, and then opened the dialog box with Bai Fuan.
Bai Fuan had just come out of the monitoring room. This was his second time to check the surveillance footage, but just like last time, he found nothing.
In the dormitory, after seeing the message sent by Lin Shuyue, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he simply called Lin Shuyue directly.
"We have seen this post a long time ago, and someone has reported it to the school leaders. We have already strengthened security in various parts of the school. I also checked the surveillance today, and there really is nothing unusual." If there is always someone talking about being spied on, there is a possibility that this person is lying.
But this matter is being discussed by several people, and these people have no connection with each other, and they don’t even know each other. There are also men and women, so it’s a big problem.
In recent years, schools across the country have attached great importance to student safety, and school leaders have emphasized this issue at every faculty and staff meeting. Now that this inexplicable sense of being spied on has emerged, all the leaders and teachers in the entire school have taken it seriously, and even many professors and counselors have begun patrolling during the day and at night. But there was nothing unusual at all.
This made Bai Fuan and others very worried.
The author has something to say: All the excellent novels are serialized here: Mozhua5.com
Lin Shuyue chatted with Bai Fuan for a long time. Lin Shuxing came out of the shower without disturbing her. He picked up his phone and went to the room next door with Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi.
Lin Shuyue had just hung up the phone with Bai Fuan when Hang Jiabai called.
"I just called you several times and they were all busy. It's so late, why are you still so busy?" There was a tension in Hang Jiabai's voice that he was not aware of.
Lin Shuyue suddenly smiled: "I'm calling my teacher, are you not busy?"
Hang Jiabai knew who Lin Shuyue's teacher was. In fact, he had met Bai Fuan several times. Professor Bai Fuan was a classmate of his grandmother. After his grandfather passed away, he became very close to his grandmother, Ms. Liu Wushuang, over the years, and seemed to want to have a twilight romance with her.
Hang Jiabai had no objection to his grandmother's relationship with Bai Fuan. After all, he was too busy at work, and his cousins, uncles, aunts, and uncles all had their own jobs, so they hardly had time to accompany his grandmother all the time. It’s not impossible to find a companion.
However, he was a little confused about his grandmother's attitude. She often chatted with Professor Bai, and Professor Bai entrusted his students to her. Although she no longer accepted apprentices or taught people, she still made an exception for him. But when you say you want to accept him, you don't mean that.
Sometimes when a group of cousins chat, Hang Jiabai and the others always talk about this issue.
Now, hearing Lin Shuyue talking about his teacher, Hang Jiabai followed up with the question: "How is Professor Bai's health?"
"The old man is fine and looks in good health." Speaking of this, Lin Shuyue suddenly remembered that she had not visited Liu Wushuang for a long time since she learned dubbing. She suddenly felt a little guilty and asked about her health.
With the two old men as the beginning, the two of them had more content to talk about. Lin Shuyue was on the balcony and took the opportunity to talk about what she had discovered today.
After listening to Lin Shuyue's words, Hang Jiabai said, "Generally speaking, in this case, the stalker must be someone in the school. The reason why your teacher didn't see anything unusual after checking the surveillance several times means that this person is very trusted by the school staff. In other words, he is inconspicuous."
Hang Jiabai took a sip of water and continued to analyze: "If it happened in school, then the person could be a teacher, a student, or a staff member of the school, such as a gardener, a cleaner, a dormitory manager, a cafeteria aunt, etc."
Hang Jiabai's analysis coincided with Lin Shuyue's idea. After she finished talking on the phone with Bai Fuan, she already had a vague idea, but her experience in this area was still not as high as Hang Jiabai's.
Lin Shuyue returned to the computer and told Xu Simiao about her and Hang Jiabai's speculations.
Xu Simiao replied quickly: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. Now that I think about it, there were several times when we looked back and saw a cleaner cleaning from a distance. When we checked the surveillance, there were also cleaners. But the cleaners were all about the same age and dressed in the same uniform. I'm not sure if these cleaners were the same person."
After Xu Simiao sent this message, he quickly sent another one: "But sometimes when we are outside the school, we also feel that someone is following us. It can't be them, right?"
After Lin Shuyue read her message to Hang Jiabai, Hang Jiabai said, "Why not? Their students often go out, and faculty and staff can go too."
After Hang Jiabai finished speaking, he said, "It's like this. I went to have dinner with my grandma this afternoon. She said she was going to Yangcheng to attend an event tomorrow. I happened to be on vacation, so I should go with her. We can meet in Yangcheng then."
Hang Jiabai hasn't had a rest for three or four months. After finishing the follow-up matters of the funeral home, he can finally rest for two days. Originally, he planned to sleep at home during these two days, but now he thinks that it is not impossible to go to Yangcheng for a walk. It happened that a classmate who worked in Yangcheng had his baby celebrated its one-month anniversary last month, so he had to go and see it.
The matter was settled. When Hang Jiabai gave his second reason, Lin Shuyue couldn't refute it. Could she stop Hang Jiabai from being filial to his grandmother, or stop him from meeting his old classmates?
"See you tomorrow then?" Hang Jiabai said.
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone with a smile, Lin Shuyue chatted with Xu Simiao for a while. Xu Simiao was still very receptive to advice. The more she talked with Lin Shuyue, the more she felt that what Lin Shuyue said made sense.
After finishing a conversation with Xu Simiao, Lin Shuyue went to wash up.
It was almost eleven o'clock when I came out. Lin Shuxing had already returned and was sleeping soundly on the bed.
She turned off the lights and left only a small night light on for Lin Shuxing to use when she got up at night. Ever since she became pregnant, she has been urinating a lot. She has seen a doctor and taken Chinese medicine, but it didn't help. According to the doctor, the pregnancy was compressing the bladder nerves, and this frequent urination would continue until the baby was born.
It was a dreamless night. Lin Shuxing got up to go to the bathroom and Lin Shuyue didn't even know.
The next day, the family decided to visit various scenic spots in Guangzhou. Halfway through the tour, she received a call from Liu Shuqing in a tearful voice: "Senior, senior, Si Miao is missing. The phone call is not working. We searched every corner of the school but couldn't find her. When we called the police, they said that if the missing person had not been missing for more than 48 hours, they would not file a case."
