Xia Zhining recognized at a glance that the middle-aged man wearing glasses and with an elegant temperament was Li Jiansheng, the vice president of Jiangcheng University.
In Xia Zhining's impression, university executives felt somewhat distant, but President Li was completely different.
When Xia Zhining applied to a foreign Royal Veterinary College, it was President Li who personally wrote a letter of recommendation for her and also took the initiative to coordinate a veterinary research laboratory on campus for her.
Li Jiansheng has always loved and cherished talented people. Whenever he learned that a student was facing difficulties at home or personal setbacks, he would do his best to help, assisting in applying for scholarships or providing scientific research support. He is a good teacher who is privately praised by many students.
At this moment, Li Jiansheng was saying to Ji Shuyun earnestly, "Officer Ji, thank you for your hard work here."
"The graduation ceremony is in three days, but with students arriving these past few days, rumors have started circulating on campus... that this place is haunted. It's not a good thing."
"Principal Li." Xia Zhining walked up quickly and greeted him respectfully.
When Li Jiansheng saw Xia Zhining, surprise and concern suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Zhining? Why are you here?"
"Is there no Xia's Pet Hospital after graduation?"
Xia Zhining smiled wryly and shook her head, briefly recounting her life story and how she had taken over the zoo. Finally, she added softly, "I'm now a zoo language communicator and a specially appointed consultant to the police."
Li Jiansheng applied for a laboratory in the school for Xia Zhining, and knew how hard Xia Zhining worked on researching vaccines for the Xia family's pet hospital when she was in college.
After hearing this, he frowned, with many questions in mind. Then he sighed softly, "Excellent people really shine wherever they go."
Li Jiansheng's expression turned serious, "Zhi Ning, I really have to rely on you this time."
Li Jiansheng looked towards the nearby school building, which was still cordoned off. His brow furrowed slightly, and deep worry etched in his voice, "It's the beginning of the new semester, especially for students who have just arrived on campus. They're already in the process of adapting."
"Now that something like this has happened, I'm really worried that it will affect the children's emotions and prevent them from studying with peace of mind."
"The school invested a lot of money in renovating the second teaching building, hoping to provide a better environment for students. But we didn't expect to encounter such a heartbreaking incident right after it opened."
Li Jiansheng continued in a grave tone, "Now the rumors of 'haunting' are getting more and more intense. Not only can we not carry out normal teaching, but even getting students to willingly enter this building has become very difficult..."
Although he remained calm on the surface, the pressure on his shoulders was almost visible to the naked eye.
His superiors kept urging him to find the murderer as soon as possible, to give an explanation to the public and to comfort the victims' families.
But how could he, a teacher, solve the case?
All the pressure and blame finally fell on this good-tempered old man.
If the real culprit cannot be found before the opening ceremony, he will probably bear all the responsibility of the school.
However, Li Jiansheng did not reveal a word of this to Xia Zhining.
He just nodded slightly and smiled gently, not wanting to add to her burden with his own stress.
Li Jiansheng took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to make his tone sound steady: "If you need any help, just tell me."
Xia Zhining watched him trying to maintain his composure, then lowered her voice and answered seriously, "Principal Li, don't worry. We will do our best."
Li Jiansheng nodded, looked at his watch, and said apologetically, "I have a meeting to attend, so I have to go first."
