"Um, excuse me, are you all locals? When were you captured by them?"
"Does anyone know where we are, or have you seen the people who kidnapped us? If so, could you tell me?"
After she said this, she kept looking at the people opposite her, but they didn't respond at all. She thought they didn't hear her, so she repeated it several times.
But they still kept their heads down and looked at the ground. No one paid any attention to her. Looking at them like that, Xia Jin sighed helplessly.
She didn't know how to gain their trust and get them to talk to her. Only when she understood the environment here better could she escape.
Seeing that they all ignored her, Xia Jin stopped talking. She thought to herself, she would ask again after she got familiar with them.
And there will definitely be someone here who will deliver meals and the like, and I will be able to meet them then.
She wasn't in any danger, but she didn't know if her family would be worried if they found out.
——
Xia Jin had been out for a class and had not returned yet. Pan Qiancheng and the others gradually felt that something was wrong, so during the break, they went to Teacher Guo Jian's office.
"Teacher, did Xia Jin ask for leave from you, or did her family ask for leave from you?"
"Also, did anyone come to see her during the break in last class?"
"Isn't that what you were talking about? Isn't Xia Jin in the classroom? No one asked me for leave."
Pan Qiancheng almost burst into tears when she heard this. She said with a guilty conscience, "Teacher, do you really not know? Last class, there was a stranger who said he was a student from our school and called her out, saying someone was looking for her outside."
"I'm talking about such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? No one in Xia Jin's family has ever asked for leave for her. Is Xia Jin still not back?"
"No, she hasn't come back since she left the last class. We were worried that something might have happened to her, so we hurried to ask you."
"But if you don't know, teacher, then where did she go? How did she get out without your note? Could she have been tricked out?"
Guo Jian looked at the two of them and said anxiously, "Come on, explain everything to me in detail, day by day."
Pan Qiancheng told the whole story in detail. After listening, Teacher Guo quickly stood up and said, "Pan Qiancheng, go ask the old man at the door to see if she has left. Li Xiangqian, follow me around the classrooms and see who called him out."
The two agreed and set out to find the person, but they were destined to be disappointed. Teacher Guo led Li Xiangqian around all the classes but couldn't find the person.
Pan Qiancheng went to ask the security guard but got nothing. He said that no one went out today and no one came to look for anyone.
When Pan Qiancheng heard this, he became even more frightened. It seemed that their guess might be correct. Something really happened to Xia Jin. What should he do?
It's all their fault. If they had followed her out when that person came, this wouldn't have happened. Or if they had been more alert and told the teacher earlier, this might not have happened.
After he got the information he wanted, he hurried to meet up with his teacher. After all, he would have to make the decision later.
They returned to the office and shook their heads at each other. Looking at his expression, Teacher Guo knew that something had happened to Xia Jin and hurried to report to the principal.
"If anyone knows where Xia Jin's home is, go and inform his family immediately and call the police."
"And Pan Qiancheng, are you sure the security guard meant what he said: no strangers came in or left this morning?"
"I'm sure, teacher. I asked him many times, but he said no."
Guo Jian muttered to himself, "This is truly bizarre. Where could she have gone to find such a living person? Forget it, let's go talk to the principal first, and then you go notify his family and call the police."
"You know his home address."
Pan Qiancheng nodded and said, "We know where her store is. Let's go there and tell the staff there. Then they can notify the police. The two of us will then call the police."
"Okay, you two go speed up."
After that, they each took action. Pan Qiancheng and the others went to notify Xia Jin's family, and Teacher Guo went to tell the principal.
"Teacher Guo, what you said is true. You can't joke about this."
After hearing what he said, the principal stood up and asked, slapping the table.
Guo Jian stood aside and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Principal, this is all true. She's been missing for a class already. It's all my fault for not noticing this in time."
"We also asked the security guards, and no one went out, so maybe she is still in our school."
"But that's not possible. If he was in school, why didn't he come to class? Did something happen?"
"Because this is an urgent matter, I have just asked our students to notify his parents and call the police. What do you think we should do next?"
The principal thought for a moment and said, "Close the small door. No one can leave or enter until the police arrive. Keep watch everywhere."
"And you come with me to the school gate to meet his parents. No matter what, the child is not with us, so we need to comfort his family first."
"Then go to your class and ask if you heard what that person said to him at the door. It seems that although he doesn't know this person, the words he said must be closely related to Xia Jin."
"See if we can find the reason from what he said. Lead him out and see if we can find a breakthrough."
"But please keep it confidential and don't make a big deal out of it. It's not good if it makes people panic."
Guo Jian bent down and said, "Principal, I understand. They are just Xia Jin's brothers. They might look a bit fierce. You should be prepared."
"If they get anxious after hearing about this, they might take action. You have to be prepared."
The principal waved his hand and said, "I get it. It's only natural that the other parents are worried about the child. After all, the child is under my jurisdiction. I deserve to suffer a little when someone kidnaps the child."
"As long as we can find the child, what's the big deal if I get beaten up a little?"
