Chapter 761 I Will Help You
Will they really be better off if we keep them in the dark?
Wu Qiuyun didn't know what decision to make, nor did she know how to answer their questions.
"Have you... tried calling the police?" Cao Xiaorui asked tentatively when she saw Wu Qiuyun didn't speak.
Duan Wenguang's father looked a little gloomy: "I called the police, but they said they had no clues..."
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it carefully and concluded that the time when Duan Wenguang's parents called the police was probably almost the same as the time when she and Teacher Wu went to the police station.
They just said that they realized it when they were about to get on the train at noon the day before yesterday.
They must have called the police immediately.
After the police investigation, they gave a reply to Wu Qiuyun and also to them.
During this period, they must have tried to find Zheng Guo and Zhou Hua, but all failed.
Being forced into a desperate situation, they wanted to attract attention in this way, hoping that someone would help them.
"Teacher, you know, Xiaoguang is such a good child, he can't just die like this in obscurity. He must have been bullied, or simply pushed down from the building. Please help us find clues..." Duan Wenguang's mother held Wu Qiuyun's hand tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.
Wu Qiuyun took a deep breath and finally made a decision: "Don't go to school for the time being, find a hotel to stay in. I will help you check, give me your phone number, I will call you when I have news."
Duan Wenguang's parents looked at each other and were a little excited.
"Paper, find a piece of paper, I'll write it down for you..." Mr. Duan looked around, trying to find paper and pen.
Wu Qiuyun took out her cell phone: "It doesn't matter, just tell me."
Mr. Duan reacted and quickly gave out his cell phone number.
Wu Qiuyun called and waited for a long time but no call came through.
She was a little surprised: "Did I say it wrong? I called you, why is there no response?"
Mr. Duan pursed his lips awkwardly: "The phone is out of battery."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Mr. Duan's embarrassed expression and suddenly understood something.
The school probably only provided them with accommodation for the first day.
No care was given to the accommodation afterwards.
How could they bear to stay in a hotel? The weather wasn't too cold, so they would probably just find a place to stay at night.
Without a place to live, there is naturally no opportunity to charge the mobile phone.
It's been several days now, and even the most durable phone is probably out of battery.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Cao Xiaorui and said, "Sister, take Teacher Wu back first. I will take Uncle and Auntie to the hotel to get a room."
After hearing what Ji Yuanyuan said, Cao Xiaorui and Wu Qiuyun also reacted.
When they were about to leave, the couple looked at the leftovers on the table with reluctance in their eyes.
I didn’t eat much, so it seems a bit of a waste to just throw it away.
Ji Yuanyuan saw that the two people were reluctant to leave, so she called the waiter and asked them to pack up all the leftovers.
People who make a living by farming all have this habit: they can’t stand seeing food being wasted.
My second uncle is the same. During the New Year’s dinner, he always tries his best to finish all the food, unwilling to waste it.
After leaving the restaurant, Cao Xiaorui took Wu Qiuyun away on a bicycle.
Ji Yuanyuan said, "Uncle and aunt, come with me. I'll get you a room and you can wait in the room. You can ask the front desk to bring you food. Don't worry, it won't take a few days. No matter what the result is, Teacher Wu will let you know."
Mother Duan followed Ji Yuanyuan helplessly. After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Ji Yuanyuan's clothes: "Classmate, you go back. We...we have a place to live, so you don't have to arrange it..."
Mother Duan spoke haltingly, obviously not used to lying and a little nervous.
Ji Yuanyuan did not expose her lie, but smiled and said, "You can cancel the room you booked earlier. I did not pay for the room myself. I used the research funds given by the school. It's the school's money. You can get it reimbursed after you cancel the room. Anyway, we can't use it all, so it's just right for you to use."
She thought that if Duan Wenguang's parents knew that it was she who paid for it, they would definitely not feel at ease living there.
But they are now hostile to the school, and if it is the school's money, they will not refuse.
This amount of money is nothing to Ji Yuanyuan.
But it can make these two old people who have just suffered the pain of losing their son feel better.
Sure enough, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Duan Wenguang's parents looked at each other and did not refuse again.
Ji Yuanyuan took them to a hotel that looked pretty good near the back door of the school and checked them in.
After completing the formalities, the waiter took the couple upstairs, but Ji Yuanyuan did not follow.
She didn't want to continue witnessing the couple's awkwardness, which would make her feel even worse.
When I returned to the laboratory, Cao Xiaorui and Wu Qiuyun had already returned. They were sitting in chairs, both silent.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan coming back, Wu Qiuyun looked up and asked, "Have you arranged it? How much does it cost? I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out his wallet.
Ji Yuanyuan held her hand and said, "No, it's not much money. This way, I will feel better."
Wu Qiuyun knew what Ji Yuanyuan was referring to.
Ji Yuanyuan was still brooding over the fact that Duan Wenguang had looked for her half a month ago.
If spending some money on Duan Wenguang's parents can make her feel better, then there's nothing wrong with that.
Thinking of this, Wu Qiuyun put the wallet back into his pocket.
The atmosphere in the laboratory fell silent again. Cao Xiaorui looked at Wu Qiuyun, then at Ji Yuanyuan, and asked cautiously, "What should we do?"
Since I have already promised Duan Wenguang’s parents, I can’t just do nothing, right?
However, even the police couldn't find anything. Could the three of them really gain anything?
What if there is no gain? How to explain to Duan Wenguang's parents? How to explain to the principal?
Wu Qiuyun took a deep breath and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Just continue to do the experiments according to my instructions in the next two days. I will handle this matter myself."
Cao Xiaorui's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Teacher Wu, that's not what I meant..." Cao Xiaorui wanted to explain.
When Zheng Keke came that day, she backed off. This time...
Wu Qiuyun waved her hand: "No need to say more, take a rest and continue to monitor the experiment in the afternoon."
Cao Xiaorui's words were choked back by Wu Qiuyun. She pursed her lips and walked away silently.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't leave. She took the medicine box and said, "Take care of your ankle. I'll get you some ice."
Wu Qiuyun opened the medicine box herself, looked at the medicine inside, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's true these past two days."
