Ye Qingqing rushed to the school. She was the only one at home. Lu Mo and Tie Dan had already returned to the compound and were busy setting up the company. They were so busy that they didn't even have enough time to sleep.
Ye Mingcheng is preparing to open a clinic. He is busy taking the medical licensing exam and looking for a storefront. He is busier than when he was working a regular job and is not at home during the day.
Ye Qingqing rode her bike to Angel School. It was already afternoon. Ye Tong's teacher was a young woman who had only been working for a short time. She was so anxious that she was almost in tears.
Gao Fei and Catherine were both away from school, attending an academic conference abroad and taking the opportunity to travel.
"Because the three of them usually disappear and run off to play in the back mountain, I didn't think much of it today, assuming they'd be back by lunchtime. But when lunchtime came and they still hadn't shown up, I realized..."
The teacher felt extremely guilty, but she really didn't expect something like this to happen. In the past, when Wuchen and the other two went to the mountain to play, they would always come back on time at mealtimes without fail. After a while, she got used to it. Who would have thought that something like this would actually happen!
When Ye Qingqing heard the teacher say that the three children often sneaked off to play on the mountain, she knew without a doubt that it was Wuchen's idea; Yadan and Xiaotong wouldn't dare to do it.
"Teacher, don't worry, maybe they had fun on the mountain and forgot to come back."
Ye Qingqing comforted her teacher, saying that with Wuchen around, she wouldn't worry even if they went to Niushou Mountain.
The teacher breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Qingqing was sensible. She said apologetically, "The school security guards have already gone up the mountain to look for her, but they haven't returned yet."
Ye Qingqing went to the foot of the back mountain. The mountain wasn't very high, but the trees were lush, and the mountain wasn't small either, with rolling hills. The teacher also said that this mountain was connected to Niushou Mountain.
If Wuchen has run off to Niushou Mountain, it will be even more troublesome to find him.
The two security guards came down the mountain and shook their heads at the teacher, "We didn't see the child, he probably didn't go up the mountain."
"Are there security cameras here?" Ye Qingqing asked.
The teacher shook his head anxiously, "This area is a blind spot, the surveillance cameras can't detect it, where could they possibly go..."
Ye Qingqing felt a little uneasy. Even if Wuchen was immature, he wouldn't be out so late. Moreover, this child was very particular about food and would never miss a meal. Could something have really happened?
"Teacher, Wuchen and the others went to catch the bad guys..."
I had just returned to the teaching building when a boy of about ten years old walked over. His speech was not very clear, but I could understand him.
Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she asked the boy, "Did Wuchen tell you this?"
The boy nodded earnestly. A middle-aged woman called from nearby, "Xiao Jie, it's time to go home!"
Ye Qingqing hurriedly asked again, "Wuchen said he was going to catch bad guys?"
The boy pointed to the hill behind the house, "Hide and seek."
The middle-aged woman grew impatient and called out again. The boy politely said goodbye to the teacher and Ye Qingqing, then turned and left.
Ye Qingqing looked thoughtful. Wuchen and the others must still be on the mountain, but what did Xiao Jie mean by "bad guy"?
Is it a person?
Or are they the wild animals in the mountains?
The teacher said, "Xiao Jie has severe autism, but he gets along very well with Xiao Tong."
Ye Qingqing asked, "Teacher, what do you think Xiao Jie meant by 'bad guy'?"
"It's probably insects from the mountain. Xiao Jie is very afraid of insects."
Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and asked the teacher to take her to see the school's surveillance footage. Even if they couldn't see it from the back mountain, there might be clues in other places!
After staring at the computer screen for nearly half an hour, Ye Qingqing finally made a discovery: two suspicious men had been loitering near the school gate these past few days.
