Chapter 318

Under such a magical closed loop, Qi Huang is considered to be Li Shu's closest friend in the class. It is worth mentioning that according to Li Shu's friendliness, Su Bei is third, after all, he is Li Shu's second most interested person besides Jiang Tianming.

Su Bei respectfully refuses to acknowledge this.

Despite this, he still raised his hand with a smile on his face: "I want to go too. How can I miss such a good show?"

He would definitely go. If this matter was related to the main plot, he couldn't just miss it. If it wasn't related to the main plot, then the danger wouldn't be that great, and it wouldn't hurt to go.

After he expressed his opinion, others also raised their hands to express their opinions. Anyway, they were free on Saturdays and Sundays, so instead of completing the tasks assigned by the school, they might as well go to Li Shu's house to have a look.

"If too many people go, it will be a problem." Si Zhaohua shook his head, "Besides, Li Shu may not be willing."

He believed that if Jiang Tianming went to visit Li Shu's house, Li Shu would probably be happy and even touched. But the same might not be true for the others.

Knowing that what he said was right, the people who had raised their hands suddenly hesitated. Although they and Li Shu could indeed be called friends, it was true that not all of them had such a good relationship with him. Fifteen people in a class was not a lot, but it was impossible for everyone to have a good relationship.

After some discussion, Jiang Tianming's trio, Su Bei, Qi Huang, and squad leader Mu Tieren, a total of six people, went to Li Shu's house. As for the others, they didn't have to go and stayed in the school on standby so that they could provide timely support in case they encountered any accidents.

Although this may sound a bit unfounded, considering the various dangers encountered during previous field missions, everyone in Class S felt that it was reasonable.

After Jiang Tianming came back, he learned of their plan but had no objection. He called out several people who were going to Li Shu's house, and then began to talk about the information he had just received from Teacher Meng.

"Li Shu's family is in business. I don't know what business it is, but the teacher told me that they have a lot of children. Usually, when children reach a certain age, they have to take over the family business. Li Shu used this as an excuse to drop out of school."

"Take over the family business." Qi Huang frowned. "What kind of business needs a sixteen-year-old kid to take over? Besides, he doesn't look...he doesn't look particularly rich."

She herself was a wealthy person, and had a good relationship with Li Shu, so she could naturally judge his family background from his daily words and deeds. He certainly had no worries about food and drink, but his daily expenses were not very large.

Therefore, Qi Huang always thought that Li Shu was an ordinary family, like Zhao Xiaoyu. However, the difference was that there were obviously people with superpowers in his family, and they were not as ignorant of the superpower world as Zhao Xiaoyu.

How could such a family want their child to drop out of school early to run the business without even finishing the special abilities academy?

"I also find it strange, so I want to go to his house to take a look." Jiang Tianming nodded in agreement, "Teacher Meng told us not to interfere in other people's family affairs, so if you..."

His meaning was very clear: if they didn't want to go against the teacher's wishes, it would be better for them not to go.

However, who among them was an obedient child? Even a wooden man was very stubborn about some things. None of them would give up a decision just because the teacher objected.

Qi Huang rolled his eyes in annoyance: "If we didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, we wouldn't have come here in the first place."

"As the class monitor, I cannot just turn a blind eye when my classmates want to drop out of school." Mu Tieren also has his own logic.

Jiang Tianming knew Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing, and also knew Su Bei, so he didn't ask them about their plans. Seeing that Qi Huang and the others were also very determined, he stopped talking and said, "Then let's create a small group. I will post Li Shujia's location in the group. Meet at the place I marked at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning... I don't think I should inform the Li family in advance."

The Li family, who wanted Li Shu to drop out of school and block all his classmates, would never welcome them. If they showed up at their doorstep, they would probably be kicked out.

Others had the same concerns, but Mu Tieren came up with a different solution than Jiang Tianming: "I think we should get a reason from the teacher first, so that we can act properly."

This is true. You can come to the house openly. Who wants to sneak in? And even if you sneak in, you may not be able to get in.

"Who will talk to the teacher about this?" Wu Mingbai asked. Although it was a question, his eyes were fixed on the wooden iron man, and it was obvious that he already had a candidate in mind.

"I'll go." Not to disappoint him, the Iron Man raised his hand and recommended himself.

Meng Huai knew their plan that afternoon and kept them after school: "Jiang Tianming, I didn't know you were such an impulsive person."

Meng Huai didn't expect that after he told Jiang Tianming about the situation at Li Shu's house yesterday, he was still determined to go and even formed a team to go together.

"Teacher, there must be something fishy about Li Shu dropping out of school. I think as friends we can't just sit there and do nothing about it." Jiang Tianming said seriously.

However, this seriousness did not impress Meng Huai. He rolled his eyes and said, "I can tell you with 100% certainty that it was Li Shu himself who told me that he wanted to drop out of school. It would be useless for you to go."

"He might have been threatened." Qi Huang made a reasonable guess. "He must have been vulnerable to something, so he had to drop out. He couldn't have dropped out because he suddenly hated us."

The intention to save his friend was good. Meng Huai sighed: "Why do you have to interfere in other people's family affairs? Even if he doesn't continue to go to school, so what?"

"That would go against the nine-year compulsory education," Lan Subing said in a low voice.

Meng Huai almost sneered at this. He took a deep breath, sneered and threatened: "You are not socially anxious now, are you?"

Lan Subing immediately shut up and became as quiet as a chicken. As the head teacher, and knowing her weaknesses, Meng Huai had many ways to mess with her. She couldn't offend him just because of a quick complaint.

"Teacher, just agree!" Wu Mingbai said with a bright smile, "We have to go anyway. If you give us a reason, we can be safer."

This guy's evil nature is really hard to hide. Right after Meng Huai threatened Lan Subing, he turned around and threatened Meng Huai.

Seeing that he couldn't convince them, Meng Huai stopped trying to persuade them. He put on a stern face and said in a cold voice, "Li Shu specifically told me not to let you mess around. I will arrange a task this weekend. Whoever fails to complete this task will be kicked out of Class S. Do you understand?"

No one expected that the teacher would go to such lengths to prevent them from going to Li Shu's house. Moreover, his words revealed that Li Shu did not want them to come, which made everyone retreat a little.

If they had misunderstood, and Li Shulah was not actually asking them for help but simply didn't want them to come, then it would be a bit annoying for them to just walk away like that.

"Teacher, are you telling the truth? Was it really Li Shu who asked you to stop us?" Mu Tieren asked with a frown.

Meng Huai nodded and said unhappily: "Why would I lie to you about this?"

After receiving such an answer, no one spoke. Jiang Tianming pursed his lips and said, "Sorry to waste your time. Teacher, we will go back first."

"Let's go." Meng Huai waved his hand impatiently and let them leave like chasing away flies.

After leaving the office, Jiang Tianming had no intention of returning to the classroom, and walked straight out. Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing were stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something and hurried to follow his footsteps.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Seeing the three of them walking forward together, Qi Huang hurriedly chased after them.

The wooden iron man followed closely behind. He felt that Jiang Tianming's attitude was not right. It did not look like he had completely accepted it, so he naturally could not just leave it alone.

Su Bei was the last one walking, with his hands in his pockets, following the others at a leisurely pace. Like Lan Subing and the others, he also understood what Jiang Tianming was thinking. He would never give up going to Li Shu's house to find out what was going on.

However, he didn't guess Jiang Tianming's thoughts because he knew him. Rather, he guessed Jiang Tianming's thoughts because he knew the comics and the plot, and knew that the plot of going to Li Shu's house would definitely happen.

As expected, when they reached a place without surveillance, Jiang Tianming said concisely but firmly: "I still plan to go to Li Shu's house to take a look."

"Why?" asked the wooden man in confusion. In his opinion, what the teacher said was clear enough, and no matter what was reasonable, they should not continue to make trouble and embarrass others.

After a moment's silence, Jiang Tianming explained, "Because even if Li Shu said he didn't want us to go, there is a certain possibility that he is afraid of getting us into trouble. Only when I see with my own eyes that he is okay, can I feel at ease."

This is possible, but this possibility is not enough to support Qi Huang to take the risk of quitting S class. She crossed her arms over her chest, showing a rare indifference different from her usual silly sister: "Are you sure you want to give up staying in S class just because of such an unfounded guess?"

As long as there is a basis, Qi Huang does not mind taking this risk. In order to save her friends, what does an S-class identity mean? If Meng Huai really threatens them with this, she will not even bother to stay in the S-class.

But the current situation is that Li Shu has made it clear that he doesn't want them to go, and Meng Huai doesn't think it's right to do so. Qi Huang is not someone who doesn't listen to advice, and she doesn't think it's right to be so stubborn.

"But as long as there is a possibility that he is asking for help, I will not stand by and watch him die." Jiang Tianming said firmly, and then his eyes rolled, revealing a bit of cunning, "Besides, who said we would pay the price?"

Hearing this, Qi Huang's red eyes flashed: "Oh, what do you mean?"

Jiang Tianming said confidently, "The teacher only said that there is an activity on the weekend that we cannot skip classes, so we can go on Wednesday night and then skip classes the next day. If we don't participate in this activity, we will be kicked out of Class S. Skipping regular classes won't have such serious consequences."

It's true! Everyone's eyes widened. They really forgot that they could skip classes, so the problem would be solved. Meng Huai couldn't wait for them to come back and then say that they would be kicked out of Class S if they skipped classes, so that they would have a reason to go to the principal.

"What a good idea!" Qi Huang clapped his hands excitedly, "In that case, let's continue with the plan! When do we set off?"

Since we don't have to wait until the weekend, the sooner the better. Jiang Tianming answered decisively: "Wednesday, let's check the Li family's affairs today and tomorrow, and then we'll leave together on Wednesday. I hope Teacher Meng won't tell Li Shu's family about our past."

Judging from the performance of Meng Huai and Li Shu, the Li family would not welcome them. If Meng Huai said so, they would definitely be driven back. Of course, the premise is that those people can find them.

Suddenly, Lan Subing remembered something and looked at Su Bei, who had been silent since he went to find Meng Huai: "Su Bei, why don't you say anything?"

Hearing this, Su Bei, who had been looking at his phone, raised his head and showed the screen to everyone: "I just asked Feng Lan for a prophecy. The key words for this trip to the Li family are transaction, blood, and redemption."

After saying this, he tilted his head and said with a smile, "It sounds like a good show."

"Then it seems that I have to go this time." After hearing the word "bloody", the wooden iron man's expression darkened. He was still hesitant at first, but now he was completely determined. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding or not, he had to go and take a look.

Back in the dormitory, Su Bei began to prepare for this incident. First of all, there is no doubt that there is something wrong with Li Shujia. Even without Feng Lan's prediction, this is beyond doubt.

Although it is not clear what the matter is, it involves a family secret and is likely to be something bad that cannot be made public.

So in order to make the operation go more smoothly, Su Bei prepared a recorder in his storage ring and placed a miniature camera that looked like a gear brooch on the clothes he was going to wear that day.

Looking at the equipment he brought with him, Su Bei thought with satisfaction that he could just reluctantly act as a war correspondent. If he was provoked, he would expose the other party's scandal.

After doing all this, Su Bei turned on his mobile phone to check the location information sent by Jiang Tianming from the "Rescue Li Shu Team".

Unexpectedly, but not surprisingly, Li Shujia is actually very rich. His house is built on an island in the middle of a lake, and the lake outside is also part of Li's house. There is a small pier and several houses on the island.

So the question is, how can they quietly cross the river and reach the island in the middle of the lake? They can't just swim across!

Not to mention whether they can swim there, whether all of them can swim, just the question of whether there is defense in the lake is a problem. If the Li family really has some secrets, they will never let outsiders cross the moat.

Never mind, the protagonists will find a way anyway, so he can just follow behind and do nothing. Su Bei soon stopped making things difficult for himself and waited for the event to begin.

Sure enough, when he went to school the next day, Jiang Tianming told him his idea: "There are boats passing by the river outside Lijia Island every day. There is a fixed boat at 8:30 in the evening. I think we can sneak into the island on this boat."

"Why do they have ships coming and going every day?" Lan Subing's focus is unique.

"Doing business." Wu Mingbai answered casually.

However, Lan Subing shook her head, obviously not agreeing with this answer, or rather, she didn't want such a simple answer: "If it's business, what kind of business requires going there every day, or in such a troublesome way?"

This is indeed a good question. Su Bei held his chin with one hand and said, "Maybe it's a business that can't leave the island."

If you leave the island you will be arrested.

Lan Subing didn't understand his hidden message, but she was still satisfied with the answer: "I don't know what Feng Lan meant by 'bloody'. Did Li Shu get punished?"

"It could also refer to the Li family's business." Qi Huang guessed, "The underworld or something like that."

"It feels like we are in a bit of danger..." Wu Mingbai said thoughtfully, "By the way, has anyone found out about the Li family's superpowers?"

This matter can only be investigated by Qi Huang or Mu Tie Ren, as they are the ones who have connections in the supernatural world. As for Wu Mingbai, he does have a backstage now, and it is a big backstage. It's a pity that the emperor is far away and he can't use it at all.

Speaking of this, Qi Huang said cheerfully: "I checked, there are a lot of people with special abilities in their family, more than half of the family members can become special abilities, it's really amazing to be able to achieve this."

You have to know that the union of a superpower and a superpower does not necessarily result in the birth of a superpower. It is actually a probabilistic event. Even if both parents are superpowers, there is generally only a one-fourth chance that the child will be a superpower. If one of the parents is not a superpower, or if neither of them is, then the probability is even smaller.

Although this is a bit surprising, Qi Huang finds another piece of news even more interesting: "But do you know what's even more surprising? The people in their family are really fertile! The information I got is that each small family in their family has at least seven children, and this is only counting the ones that survived. It is said that it may be because there are too many children, many of them have been weak and sick since childhood, and will die before adulthood."

More than seven, that's too many! Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Lan Subing opened her mouth and uttered a complaint after a long while: "Is all the time spent on creating humans?"

Su Bei thought this setting was very interesting. Since it was a comic book plot, the special setting could not be useless. What was the purpose of having so many children? It must be closely related to the interests of the Li family. Did those children who died really die of frailty? Was there any conspiracy?

What role did Li Shu play in this?

Just as Li Shu was mentioned, Jiang Tianming asked: "What is Li Shu's number of children? What is his family's status on the island?"

"I don't know much about this." Qi Huang shook her head. Her family's intelligence network was not omnipotent. "But Li Shu's status on the island should be quite high. This kind of supernatural family values ​​talent the most."

"Then he shouldn't be in any danger in the short term." Mu Tieren seemed to be relieved. "We just need to find him, talk to him, and find out why he dropped out of school."

After hearing the word "bloody", he had been worried that he would see Li Shu's body or a seriously injured and unconscious Li Shu on the island. Now that he knew that his status was not low, he no longer had such worries.

After school on Wednesday, the six of them got together and took a train to the city where Li Shujia lived. Usually, children aged fifteen or sixteen cannot even travel by themselves, but as psychics, they were very experienced and did not encounter any problems along the way. They were very familiar with the process of taking the train.

At 7:30 in the evening, they finally arrived outside Lijia Island. From a distance, they could see lights on the island in the middle of the lake, but it was very dark outside, with only street lights near the pier.

There are no residential areas around this area, only a few scattered shops, all of which are currently closed. It can be seen that the Li family has a great influence on the area around the lake island, and perhaps this area is also their territory.

"Let's just wait here and get on board when the boat comes." Qi Huang asked suspiciously in the grass, looking at the pier in the distance.

Because Jiang Tianming told her to leave the plan to him, she didn't ask too many questions and only knew the general idea of ​​the plan. Now that the action was about to begin, she finally couldn't help asking for details.

"Of course not." Jiang Tianming shook his head and turned to look at Wu Mingbai.

Wu Mingbai sat on the ground without a speck of dust on him: "We have prepared two plans. The first one is to try to board the ship that leaves at 8:30. The method is to use Ah Bing's [Word Spirit] to give them a hint that we are the staff on the ship. If this method fails, then everyone will run away and come back here in ten minutes. I will build an underground passage."

He certainly couldn't do this before. No matter the concentration of the earth element or the control of the earth element, he couldn't dig a tunnel under the deep moat. But with the blessing of the guardian god, Wu Ming is now different. A secret passage across a river is nothing to him.

Su Bei asked in confusion: "Why not use plan B from the beginning?"

It was obvious that the first plan was very risky. Once Lan Subing's [Spirit of Words] failed to work, they would immediately be exposed to the Li family, and the difficulty of exploring the island would greatly increase.

Although digging a tunnel is a bit troublesome, it is much safer and sounds more feasible than the first option.

"First, it's because of time issues, and second, it's easy to have problems when digging a passage under the lake. If you can go above, it's naturally best to go above. You don't think digging a tunnel is easy, do you?" When he said the last sentence, Wu Mingbai rolled his eyes at him.

He has never tried to do this, but Su Bei has confidence in him.

Su Bei just had confidence in the plot designed by the author. He ignored Wu Mingbai's rolling eyes, glanced at the fate compass above everyone's head, and made a decisive choice: "Then I'll just stay here and wait for plan B."

Everyone understood what he meant. Jiang Tianming frowned and asked, "We can't get on the ship smoothly, so we can only go through the tunnel."

Su Bei nodded: "I don't know if the tunnel can be successful, but boarding the ship is definitely not possible."

The luck of these people was equally bad, only Wu Mingbai was slightly better, but he was also in the middle and right. This made Su Bei unable to make an accurate judgment, and he always felt that even if he took the tunnel, it would not be very smooth. However, staying here would definitely be smoother than going with the others.

"Then don't try that. Just dig a tunnel." Jiang Tianming made a decisive decision. "The others will stand guard nearby. If we make any noise here, we will find a way to lure the people away."

After saying that, he looked at Su Bei, probably because he was afraid that he would disappear again, and emphasized: "If you find anything else, don't forget to tell us. The good show hasn't even started yet, you won't let the actors die in the middle of the show, right?"
