Chapter 144 Phone Off
Why is your phone off? Are you still asleep?
Riemann was not giving up and dialed the number again.
But the same mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone, "The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."
Huang Dehan raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't she answering the phone?"
It would be a miracle if Xiaoxiao could answer the phone; she's probably dead beyond recognition!
Huang Dehan thought to himself.
Li Man put down her phone. "She turned it off."
“She’s probably still sleeping. Call her again later. I’m going to work now. I have no reason to lie to you about this. You’ll find out as soon as you ask her. I can’t hide the truth, right?” Huang Dehan said.
Li Man felt that Huang Dehan made sense; he really had no reason to lie to her, because she could just ask Xiao Xiao. But... Li Man felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Huang Dehan opened the car door and got out, saying, "Don't worry, I can't run away."
After saying that, Huang Dehan was about to leave when Li Man quickly called out to him, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Didn't I make myself perfectly clear?" Huang Dehan stopped, glanced at his watch, and said impatiently, "I'm going to be late. We can talk about it later."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"If you dare to lie to me, I won't let you get away with it!" Li Man shouted at Huang Dehan's back.
Huang Dehan chuckled and continued walking without stopping.
Li Man stared blankly at Huang Dehan's departing figure. She thought that after seeing Huang Dehan, she would inevitably have a big argument with him and a big fight. She thought that Huang Dehan would not easily hand over the photos, but she did not expect that he would say that he had returned the photos to Xiao Xiao.
Why is she so disbelieving?
Would Huang Dehan really be that good?
Or did he and Xiaoxiao reach some kind of agreement?
No, she had to find out.
Li Man called Xiao Xiao again, but the same mechanical female voice answered the phone.
...
Li Man tried calling Xiao Xiao all day, but the phone was always switched off.
The school couldn't contact Xiaoxiao either, so they called Xiaoxiao's mother.
Xiao Xiao's mother said she hadn't seen Xiao Xiao and didn't know where she had gone.
"Could you contact her friends or relatives to see if anyone has seen her? She asked me for a day off yesterday, and I haven't seen her return to school today. This will result in a deduction of her academic credits," the counselor said.
"Okay, okay, I'll call and ask right away. I'm so sorry to trouble you, teacher. Xiaoxiao is always obedient, please don't deduct her credits," Xiaoxiao's mother pleaded in a low voice.
"As long as she comes back to class tomorrow, everything will be fine," the counselor said.
"Okay, thank you, teacher. I'll send her back to school right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxiao's mother immediately called Xiaoxiao, but the phone kept saying it was switched off.
Xiao Xiao's mother then called Xiao Xiao's friends one by one, but they all said they hadn't seen Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao's mother became anxious and called some relatives she often visited, but they also said they hadn't seen Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao's mother immediately panicked.
Xiaoxiao has always been well-behaved and sensible. She would call to let her know where she was going, and she would never be like this now, with her phone switched off and unable to be reached.
Xiao Xiao's mother immediately called the counselor again, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Teacher, I've asked around, and all my relatives and friends say they haven't seen Xiao Xiao. Do you think something might have happened to her? Should we call the police?"
