"Teacher Shi!"
Shi Qingshan looked up, his face full of confusion: "Who are you?"
"Teacher Shi, I'm Jiang Wanwan from Class 1, Grade 20. Don't you remember me?"
Shi Qingshan stared at Jiang Wanwan, his thoughts drifting into memories of the past. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
"I remember, Jiang Wanwan, the class monitor of Class 1. I still remember how loud and boisterous you were back then, never willing to suffer any loss."
"Hehe, I was so naive back then! Where are Teacher Shi, Teacher Xiao, and Teacher Zheng? They're not teaching at the school anymore. And I saw on the notice board that you weren't the Chinese teacher for Class 1, Grade 12. What are you doing here?"
Shi Qingshan looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner, his eyes filled with struggle and pain, before finally changing the subject: "Wanwan, what brings you to the school?"
Jiang Wanwan picked up a book and flipped through it casually, talking about her cousin Jiang Beixing, saying that he had become taciturn due to the excessive pressure of studying in his senior year of high school, and that his grades had dropped again and again.
"Wanwan, go back and discuss it with your family. Try to get your cousin a leave of absence from school so he can rest at home for a while and adjust his mindset!"
"I see!" Jiang Wanwan looked at Shi Qingshan's hesitant expression and casually pointed to the book in her hand, asking, "Teacher, do you think this book is a reference book that has frequently appeared in past college entrance examinations?"
"Teacher, is it inconvenient to talk here?"
Shi Qingshan glanced discreetly at the corner, then nodded and said, "Yes, this book contains most of the key points for the college entrance examination."
'Bring your brother home!'
Jiang Wanwan: "Teacher Shi, this material was actually in last year's college entrance examination essay!"
'what happens? '
Shi Qingshan took the book from Jiang Wanwan's hand and said, "This book is indeed very useful. When your family takes your younger brother home to recuperate, you can let him read it more often."
Jiang Wanwan: "Teacher Shi..."
Shi Qingshan: "Wanwan, look at this pile of books waiting for me to organize. We can have a good chat about them when the teacher has time later."
Seeing that she couldn't get any information from him, Jiang Wanwan could only nod and say goodbye to Shi Qingshan.
In the school's monitoring room, Teacher Zhang, holding a large tea mug and chewing on a tea stalk, asked, "What did that female student want with Old Man Shi?"
"For the sake of her cousin Jiang Beixing, Old Man Shi asked her to take her cousin off from school, and then they talked about the college entrance examination."
"It seems Old Man Shi really does know something! In that case, find someone to tell Jiang Beixing about Shi Mei's whereabouts in the back mountain. The plan needs to be moved up!"
"But Principal Yang has been investigating very closely lately. If another student goes missing, and Jiang Beixing still has his parents at home, how will the school explain that?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I sent Yang Dong to the city to make a self-criticism. When he comes back this afternoon, he'll be the one to take the blame. If this blows up, he might lose his job as principal. Once he's transferred, we won't have to hold our hands so tightly!"
The two whispered to each other in the monitoring room for a while, then left as if nothing had happened.
"Master, have you noticed anything?"
"Your teacher is a good teacher!"
"He really is a great teacher! Let's go find Jiang Beixing; I have a feeling he might know something!"
Jiang Wanwan glanced at her watch; it was almost noon when school let out, so she decided to go to the cafeteria to wait for the two brothers. The cafeteria was set up the same as always, with two floors. The first floor had fast food and noodles, while the second floor was for à la carte dining; students who were better off could usually order a stir-fry or something similar.
As soon as Jiang Wanwan sat down on the first floor, she noticed a glass cabinet against the wall, filled with blue cans of beverages. They seemed to be newly released; Jiang Wanwan had never seen them in City C.
"Sis, is my brother here yet?" Jiang Nanxing saw her cousin from afar and ran over with a grin.
"Not yet, you're only one class apart, you didn't wait for him."
"I waited outside their classroom as soon as school was over, but he didn't show up after everyone left. I thought he had already come to the cafeteria!" Jiang Nanxing said, looking aggrieved.
Jiang Wanwan had a feeling that something was about to happen. She took out her phone and saw that the voice recorder she had ordered yesterday had been signed for at 10 a.m.
"Nanxing, eat your food first, and then go to class! I'm going to find Beixing!" After saying that, Jiang Wanwan ran out of the cafeteria like a gust of wind.
"Master, I hope Beixing isn't in any trouble!"
"My divine sense can only cover a few meters around you, and I can't detect anything else clearly. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
"I'll go check the monitoring room. Master, please help me later!"
Jiang Wanwan arrived at the administrative office building and deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras by climbing up to the second-floor stairwell.
"Master, the room on the second floor around the corner is the school's surveillance room. Could you help me see how many people are inside?"
"There's only one right now, and they're having lunch."
"I need to check the surveillance footage to see where Beixing went. Master, is there any way to move that person?"
"There is a kind of rosemary in the space that can make a person unconscious for an hour. You can give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan was overjoyed. She took out some rosemary, put on a homemade mask, tiptoed to the window of the monitoring room, and secretly lit the incense and put it into the room.
Within minutes, the man collapsed into the lunchbox and fell fast asleep.
Jiang Wanwan opened the door and went to the computer's main screen, only to find that accessing the surveillance footage required an administrator password. She tried all the numbers on the small piece of paper under the keyboard and actually found the password.
According to the surveillance footage, at 9:30 a.m., Jiang Beixing disappeared in the corridor of the teaching building, then passed through the school's flagpole, went to the convenience store, and then went to the mailroom.
At 10:15, he stood on the flagpole and looked around. In the end, he climbed over the wall and went to the back mountain. The scene ended there, and Jiang Beixing was never seen again.
On the back mountain, Jiang Wanwan followed a winding path uphill.
"Master, please keep an eye on my surroundings."
Jiang Wanwan focused her mind to the extreme, paying attention to every blade of grass and tree around her. Although she had not yet truly cultivated, her five senses, after undergoing a marrow cleansing, were much stronger than those of ordinary people.
The higher the road went, the more lush the vegetation became, with grass taller than a person. Following the freshly broken marks, Jiang Wanwan found an air-raid shelter.
There are three people inside, including your cousin.
Jiang Wanwan cautiously approached and heard voices inside.
"Beixing, I didn't expect you to be so obedient!"
Where is she?
“A few days ago, I asked her to go out for drinks with people from the bureau, but she refused to comply even at the cost of her life! So, the only option left is for her to die!”
"Why? She's your student!" Jiang Beixing's hands were held captive, her legs kicked forward with all her might, veins bulging on her neck, her face full of anger.
"Take him to meet his girlfriend! Don't be too rough, this guy is an excellent test subject!"
Hearing footsteps approaching, Jiang Wanwan curled up in the grass and remained motionless until the person had gone far away.
"Your cousin has been taken to the basement under the air-raid shelter. The situation down there isn't good; there are quite a few people inside."
Jiang Wanwan realized for the first time why she hadn't started cultivating earlier. Even if she had only reached the first level of Qi Refining, she could have accomplished many things!
"Master, what should we do? What exactly is down there?"
