Jian Zhizhen suddenly stood up, and when she turned around, her expression had returned to normal.
She smiled and said, "I know these two children, so I came over to say hello. Teacher, the children are very hungry since they only woke up at this time. Have you prepared food for them?"
Just then, the fat teacher walked over from the side and said impatiently, "How are we supposed to know what to eat..."
Before he could finish speaking, he caught a glare from the bamboo pole and quickly shut up.
Bamboo Pole said calmly, "I'll go to the kitchen and see what we have to eat."
After saying that, he took the fat man to the kitchen.
As Jian Zhizhen watched their retreating figures, the smile on her face vanished.
The main focus of the Qingshan Summer Camp is to cultivate children's survival skills.
Therefore, only food is provided, and the teachers lead the children in cooking together.
It's understandable that we students who came here to help with charity work didn't know the rules.
As teachers here, didn't they know?
Clearly, neither of them are teachers here.
Fortunately, before she arrived, Lin Yi had explained the contents of the summer camp to her, so she probably knows the rules of the summer camp better than the two fake teachers.
Chien Chih-chen let the two children go play first, while she left the courtyard and went into the classroom.
The senior students are all in the classroom, and they are currently leading everyone in rehearsing the performance.
Jian Zhizhen casually sat down on a small stool, picked up the script on the table, flipped it open to cover her wrist, activated Jian Ji's energy mode, and then gently tapped the table with her fingers.
This is a password she sets herself, which only her AI assistant can recognize.
Upon receiving the order, Jian immediately sent a message to her senior: "Those two male teachers are suspicious. The base may have been occupied by bandits."
Jian Zhizhen was being so cautious because he was unsure how many people were in that group, or whether someone was secretly monitoring their every move.
She was afraid that if she went directly to the senior students and told them to call the police, the group would overhear and turn on her, killing them all.
I don't dare to keep my head down and send messages here.
After all, with everyone right in front of them, it would be too suspicious to expect everyone to be looking down and communicating via messages.
Everyone was seriously rehearsing their lines.
Upon receiving Jian Zhizhen's message, Gongsun Sishu's expression darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and said to everyone, "You all continue rehearsing today. I'm going to rehearse the play with Zhenzhen for tomorrow's performance."
The new junior student, Sheng Sheng, looked at the senior student curiously. Upon hearing this, she looked puzzled. Wasn't there no play tomorrow? It was supposed to be about teaching the children some survival skills.
Her gaze remained fixed on her senior, until he walked up to Jian Zhizhen and led her out.
She hesitated for a moment, then followed him out.
Outside the door, Jian Zhizhen and Senior Gongsun were talking mysteriously.
"I don't know how many people are in danger..."
The junior schoolgirl understood immediately.
She is Wan Shenghai's twin sister. "Wan Shenghai" is the screenwriting pen name that the two siblings use together. They both hope to write a masterpiece in the future and have Jian Zhizhen play the female lead.
At that moment, she immediately guessed their current dangerous situation based on her rich experience as a screenwriter!
We can't communicate like that!
Because some criminals are very cruel, if they sense that someone intends to call the police, they will immediately fight to the death.
So they need to change their communication methods!
So Wan Shenghai, the junior student, took the script, walked up to Jian Zhizhen, and interrupted their conversation: "Senior Zhenzhen, Senior Gongsun, I'll rehearse tomorrow's script with you."
After saying that, she began to act out the scene: "My daughter Xiao Cui married you as your eighteenth concubine, and now she's dead in your mansion. Madam Zhen, you must give me an explanation! If you don't, I'll report you to the authorities!"
Jian Zhizhen was stunned for a moment, then saw Wan Shenghai constantly giving her meaningful glances.
After thinking about it carefully, Jian Zhizhen began to understand her considerations.
The phrase "report to the authorities" in her words likely meant that she should call the police.
Jian Zhizhen also held up the script and said, "If you have solid evidence, then go ahead and see if the government dares to touch my Zhen family!"
It means: there is no evidence, everything is speculation, and we are afraid that reporting it to the police would cause information interference.
Wan Shenghai sneered: "Every concubine in the Zhen family has died a violent death, it must be because of you, you poisonous woman! Now Xiao Cui's child and the other concubines' children are in your hands, isn't it because you want to take the mother and keep the child? If I don't report it to the authorities, what will you do if you harm Xiao Cui's child in the future?"
There are many children here. For their safety, we must call the police.
Gongsun, who had been listening with a puzzled expression, slowly deciphered their cryptic message.
So the senior student picked up the script and cried out, "Waaah, my two daughters also married into the Zhen family as concubines, and then disappeared without a trace. I wonder if they were also harmed by you, you poisonous woman..."
—I wonder how those two female teachers are doing, and whether they have been harmed.
This is also what Jian Zhizhen is very worried about; she is really afraid that the two teachers have been murdered.
Jian Zhizhen sneered: "The only way to the yamen from here has been ruined by the flood. Even if you can get there, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. So go ahead and go."
—It rained heavily all night last night, and there were many trees and rocks knocked down on the mountain road. Some roads are still not cleared, so they will probably have to take a detour, which will take a lot of time.
As Gongsun Xuechang got more and more into the performance, tears welled up in his eyes: "Then we have to go! We won't let my two daughters disappear without a trace!"
—Call the police first.
...
In the storeroom.
Liao Leiliang was holding a gun, the muzzle hidden under the curtains, peeking out from the corner of the window and pointing it at the students.
He had just quietly gone out for a stroll, placing listening devices in several places, and then returned here to continue observing the students' behavior.
He didn't actually kill anyone because things were really tense outside.
He had finally managed to escape to this place and desperately wanted to hold out until the students left so he could occupy the area and survive the danger period.
However, he is not a soft-hearted person.
If these students were to notice anything amiss, or even show the slightest intention to call the police, he would kill them all and drag the children down with him.
Listening to the classical-style lines now, he didn't notice anything amiss.
He genuinely believed that Jian Zhizhen and the others were oblivious to everything and were focused solely on rehearsing the script.
He remained on high alert and continued to observe.
In the corner, two female teachers, bound hand and foot, huddled together, nervously watching the gun in his hand and the box of bullets beneath him.
They were worried that Jian Zhizhen and his group wouldn't discover the thieves, but they were also worried that if they did, they would show suspicion and provoke the thieves into a desperate act, leading to their deaths as well...
