Chapter 89 The competition is over, how to thank
Zhang Wanwan realized belatedly how awkward it was for her to be in the same room with Leng Ziyue. She blushed and said sheepishly, "Teacher Ma, I'll go wash up first and tell you more later, okay?"
Teacher Ma looked at his watch and nodded, "Yes, you should hurry up and wash up, the exam will start at nine o'clock. Although this place is close to the exam room, you can't rush too much."
Leng Ziyue also returned to his guest room. He felt embarrassed for leaving Zhang Wanwan alone from beginning to end, but he was calm and composed as if nothing had happened.
After the two of them finished washing up, Teacher Ma and three other students were waiting for them in the restaurant downstairs.
Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue grabbed something to eat on the way and explained what happened last night.
"It was two o'clock in the morning at that time, and I was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest. Leng Ziyue reminded me before leaving yesterday that if I found anything wrong, I should call him immediately, so I called him without thinking much." Zhang Wanwan said weakly, hoping that everyone would not misunderstand.
Leng Ziyue continued, "When I opened the door, I did see a man knocking on his door. He was wearing a coat and a hat covering his eyes, and a mask that covered his face so well that I couldn't see his face clearly. But from his height, I could tell that he was about 1.8 meters tall and thin. Another thing was that when he looked up at me, I noticed a scar near his temple. I guess he didn't expect that it was Zhang Wanwan who was knocking on the door, so the others would open the door quietly. He was caught off guard and ran away. I didn't chase him. I called the hotel manager and went downstairs to take a statement."
Teacher Ma was terrified after hearing this, his eyes rolled wildly. Before Zhang Wanwan and the others were about to enter the examination room, he suddenly said, "I've decided. After the finals today, we will go back and pack our bags and rush back to Pu City this afternoon. This provincial capital is too unsafe. If I stay another night, I'm afraid I'll die. After the exams, gather here and don't move on your own."
Originally, they had half a day to stroll around the provincial capital after the exams, but now Teacher Ma had no interest in doing so at all.
Everyone nodded in agreement. After what happened to Zhang Wanwan, they would only dare to act on their own if they risked their lives.
Perhaps because of yesterday's murder, many people were still talking about it in the examination room today. However, the news of Zhang Wanwan calling the police apparently did not spread, and no one knew about it at all.
When the exam bell rang, she put her thoughts aside. Seeing Leng Ziyue nodded at her, Zhang Wanwan suddenly calmed down for some reason.
Once she got into the right state during the exam, other things would hardly affect her. Besides, this was the final of the Mathematical Olympiad, and the difficulty of the questions was much higher than before. She had no time to think about anything else until the bell rang for the end of the exam.
Zhang Wanwan was still immersed in the test questions and couldn't extricate herself. After leaving the examination room, she chased Leng Ziyue and asked him questions, discussing the test questions all the way to Teacher Ma.
Seeing that they were not frightened, Teacher Ma finally felt relieved. When everyone was gathered, Teacher Ma said with a smile: "Congratulations on finishing the exam. Now you don't have to worry about anything. You are great if you can get a rank. It doesn't matter if you don't, there is still an Excellence Award. I just reported the situation to the school leaders, and they also think it's better for us to go back immediately. So, the teacher will take you to a restaurant for a good meal at noon. The school will reimburse you anyway. After the meal, we will go back to the hotel to pack our luggage and check out. The bus will leave at 2 o'clock, and it will be almost dark when we arrive in Pu City."
"Yes!" the five people shouted in unison. No one had expected that they could go out to eat in a restaurant, and their depressed mood immediately disappeared.
I have to say that the boys were quite gentlemanly. Knowing that Zhang Wanwan had experienced a thrilling night, they deliberately walked behind her on the way to dinner. Leng Ziyue walked side by side with her, and on the other side was Teacher Ma. Zhang Wanwan felt warm in her heart. With so many people accompanying her, she was actually no longer afraid.
There were a lot of delicious food in the provincial capital. Finally, Teacher Ma took them to a Chongqing hot pot restaurant and ordered a lot of beef and mutton, as well as all kinds of luxurious things. A large table was filled with them, making everyone drool. During this time, Leng Ziyue went out to make a phone call, but no one asked any more questions.
After a satisfying meal at the Chongqing Hotpot Restaurant, the group almost had to hold on to the wall to go back.
When they arrived at the hotel, Zhang Wanwan found that the police were still there and seemed to be talking to the manager. As soon as they saw Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue, they immediately walked towards them.
Teacher Ma stood in front of them and asked, "Mr. Policeman, I am their teacher. May I ask if the person has been caught?"
"We are here because of what happened last night." The police officer said, "We received the report last night and immediately retrieved the surveillance cameras in the hotel and nearby areas. The other party was very cunning and familiar with the surveillance layout of this area. We couldn't see how he got in. Fortunately, he was frightened by the classmate and ran away from the other side in a panic, so he was captured by the surveillance. However, the other party kept his head down and was wearing a hat, so we couldn't see his appearance clearly, so we want to know more details."
Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue cooperated with the police and sat in the hotel reception area for more than 40 minutes before going upstairs.
At this time, the others were already packing their luggage in the room. Leng Ziyue received a phone call. "Okay, I got it. I had expected this situation a long time ago. The other party obviously planned it and acted very carefully. I don't have much hope on the police. You should investigate as much as possible. The other party has a scar on his face, is over 1.8 meters tall, thin, and is very familiar with this area. He may not be a gangster, but may be a decent resident or work nearby. In short, he can't escape this. After catching him, interrogate him. I want to know the mastermind behind the scenes."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wanwan followed him obediently and said sincerely after entering the elevator: "Leng Ziyue, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be in great danger this time. How can I thank you? It seems that you have everything you need, and you are also very powerful."
The more Zhang Wanwan spoke, the weaker her voice became, and she felt powerless.
Leng Ziyue suddenly rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "For me, this is just a matter of a phone call. Why do you think so much? If you really want to thank me, just promise me one thing. But I'll owe you this for later. You should really cook more delicious food for me when you go back. I don't know if it's because you are a good cook, but after eating the food you cook, I have the illusion that I can live longer, hehe."
"Pah, pah, pah, you will definitely live a hundred years"
The two returned to the guest room chatting and laughing. They didn't have much luggage, so Teacher Ma sent a message to everyone to make sure that everyone had packed their bags. At a command, everyone left the room together, carrying their suitcases and rushing towards the elevator.
