As he walked, Kong Zhiyong spoke, still somewhat agitated. When he arrived at the grade director's office, he pushed the door open and went in without even knocking.
At that moment, the grade director was on the phone. After seeing Kong Zhiyong and Wen Lu come in, he casually said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone and then hung up.
When the grade head saw Wen Lu, he stood up very warmly and greeted her.
"Wen, it's lunchtime, why haven't you gone to eat? Did something happen that you came here to find me?"
Looking at the smile on the grade director's face, Wen Lu couldn't see anything wrong at all. Without hesitation, she directly stated the purpose of her visit.
Upon hearing Wen Lu's words, the grade director was filled with shock. He had personally sent Dong Zhimeng out and even heard Dong Zhimeng call that person "uncle." How could this have happened?
"Wen, is there some misunderstanding about this? I personally heard Dong Zhimeng call the man who came to pick her up 'uncle,' and I confirmed with Dong Zhimeng several times that the man was someone she knew, which is why I let her leave. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Just then, Qian Lailai and Zhuge Peng rushed over with a USB drive. They guessed that Wen Lu would come to the office to verify with the grade director who Dong Zhimeng had left with, so they went directly to the grade director's office.
Hearing the knock on the door, Kong Zhiyong, looking bewildered, turned around and opened the office door. He wasn't too surprised to see Qian Lailai and Zhuge Peng, and simply let them in.
"Wen Lu, we found the surveillance footage you requested. Dong Zhimeng left with a man. Yan Nuo also investigated the man's identity; he's Dong Zhimeng's uncle. Are you misunderstanding something? If Dong Zhimeng left with her uncle, she shouldn't be in danger, right?"
Qian Lailai walked over to Wen Lu and placed a USB drive on the grade director's desk. She wondered if Wen Lu was too nervous and had misunderstood something.
Wen Lu looked at the grade head, picked up the USB drive, and said in a calm tone, "Excuse me, could I borrow the head's computer? I want to watch the video on the USB drive to confirm something."
At this point, everyone felt that Wen Lu was being too nervous. Perhaps his uncle really had something to do, and it was normal for him to take Dong Zhimeng away.
The grade head had no objection to Wen Lu's request. He nodded to Wen Lu, indicating that she could do it herself, and that she would be relieved after watching the surveillance footage.
Kong Zhiyong also felt that Wen Lu was being too nervous. He was more interested in the person who had investigated the surveillance video. After all, this computer competition was also very important. If the grand prize of this competition was won by someone from their school, it would be a great honor for the school.
Just as Wen Lu and the grade director were watching the video, Kong Zhiyong grabbed Qian Lailai's arm and asked her about the origin of the surveillance video.
"Qian Lailai, where did you get this surveillance video? Did the two of you find it?"
"Of course not, it was Yan Nuo, the transfer student, who got it for you. He's very good with computers. He won't tell you how he got it. Teacher Kong, if you're interested in this, you can go find Yan Nuo. He's really good with computers."
Qian Lailai couldn't help but praise Yan Nuo when she thought about the scene she had witnessed.
She thought accessing surveillance footage would be extremely difficult, but Yan Nuo simply typed out a string of code, and the surveillance video appeared. She was completely stunned.
As Kong Zhiyong listened to Qian Lailai's description, his eyes suddenly lit up. The candidate for the computer competition had been found. He would have a good talk with Yan Nuo that afternoon to see if he had any thoughts about participating.
Wen Lu watched the surveillance video but didn't find anything wrong. However, she just felt that something was wrong. Using Dong Zhimeng's parents as an excuse was wrong from the start.
She suspected that someone had bribed Dong Zhimeng's uncle to take advantage of the situation and harm Dong Zhimeng, but who would do such a thing?
Wen Lu unplugged the USB drive, stood up from her seat as the grade head, and decided to handle the matter herself, because even if she said there was a problem, no one would believe her.
Seeing Wen Lu put the USB drive away, the grade director and Kong Zhiyong both looked at Wen Lu and said in unison, "Wen Lu, do we still need to call the police about Dong Zhimeng's matter?"
"No need for now. I'll ask Dong Zhimeng's parents and have them contact Dong Zhimeng's uncle. Maybe they have some connection. Let's not make things too big."
Wen Lu didn't want to make a big fuss, lest Dong Zhimeng be in danger. She needed to find out who had taken Dong Zhimeng away and what their purpose was. Only by finding out could she bring Dong Zhimeng back safely. Otherwise, if she pushed those people too far and they hurt Dong Zhimeng, it would be troublesome.
Hearing Wen Lu's words, both the grade director and Kong Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief. They had been a little nervous because of Wen Lu, and were worried that something had really happened to Dong Zhimeng.
Wen Lu greeted the grade director and Kong Zhiyong and then walked out of the grade director's office. Qian Lailai and Zhuge Peng followed Wen Lu out as well.
Wen Lu glanced at the people behind her and said to Qian Lailai, "You and Zhuge Peng go eat first. I'll make a phone call and come find you in a bit."
Wen Lu wanted to call Gu Yao. She felt that it would be faster to let Gu Yao handle this matter, and Gu Yao was the only person she could use right now. She really had no one else she could rely on here.
Just as Wen Lu was about to leave, Zhuge Peng thought of something and reached out to grab Wen Lu's arm.
“Wen Lu, something’s not right about Dong Zhimeng’s situation. Her uncle would never contact her on his own initiative. Ever since the Su family extorted money from Dong Zhimeng’s family, her uncle was afraid of being implicated, so he cut off all ties with Dong Zhimeng’s family…”
As Zhuge Peng spoke, he unconsciously scratched his hair. He had also been involved in this matter back then and had even had contact with Dong Zhimeng's uncle.
Wen Lu looked at Zhuge Peng's embarrassed expression, gave a faint snort, and ignored him. Wen Lu knew about all the stupid things he had done back then, she just didn't want to touch him now.
"Wen Lu, leave Dong Zhimeng to me. I'll have my dad investigate who took Dong Zhimeng away. Don't worry, my dad's men will bring Dong Zhimeng back safely."
Zhuge Peng genuinely wanted to make amends to Dong Zhimeng, especially after learning Su Yu's true colors. He wanted to do something for Dong Zhimeng.
Seeing Zhuge Peng's sincerity, Wen Lu glanced at Qian Lailai, who immediately understood Wen Lu's meaning.
"Dong Zhimeng is out of danger..."
Qian Lailai looked at Wen Lu and spoke cautiously. When no one was paying attention, she performed a divination for Dong Zhimeng and confirmed that Dong Zhimeng was safe.
