Chapter 268: Chapter 233: Smart Ghost_2 Qin Ye finished washing the dishes and cutlery, then he headed straight for the agricultural machinery station. Since there was only one bicycle at home, he walked there himself, leaving the bicycle for his wife, so she could use it when she went out later. Rong Yan had taken a pulse for Tie Zhu and then gave Tie Zhu’s wife a bottle of medicine, “This red pill is different from the one I gave you yesterday. Take two pills after meals, three times a day. After you finish this bottle, there’s no need to continue.” Tie Zhu’s wife took it immediately, “Okay.” “And when can Tie Zhu eat?” He hadn’t eaten yesterday, and if he didn’t eat today, wouldn’t he starve? “Make him some thin porridge today, the thinner and mushier, the better, the kind where you can see clear water is fine. After a couple of days, he can have something thicker. Don’t worry, the medicine I’ve prescribed also has restorative properties.” Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu’s wife was relieved. “Okay.” After Rong Yan finished instructing her, she walked out. As she came out, she saw Captain Lu arriving. Accompanying him was Police Li. Captain Lu: “Mr. Rong, I hope I’m not interrupting you?” Rong Yan shook her head, “No, you’re quite early. Are we going to talk at the police station now, or shall we talk here?” “Here is fine too,” Captain Lu didn’t want to trouble her to go all the way to the police station. “Let’s talk in the main room then.” Rong Yan lifted her foot and walked into the main room. Captain Lu and Xiao Li swiftly followed her in. The three sat around a square table. Xiao Li immediately took out paper and a pen, and then Captain Lu begun his questioning... *** “Who did you say you were looking for?” Principal Du was somewhat baffled. “It’s like this, we saw a young man yesterday, about this tall...” Liu Shanquan gestured with his hand. “He ran very fast, our Director Shu thinks he’s a great sprinting talent, so we came to the school to look for him.” After hearing this, Principal Du understood and became very excited. Knowing that this was from Jing City Sports School. If they really took a liking to a kid, that would be a stroke of incredible luck for them. But after the excitement, he calmed down: “That height is quite vague, it might be hard to find... Did you get a good look at his face, or if I call out all the students, would you still recognize him?” Liu Shanquan shook his head regretfully: “He ran too fast at that time, we didn’t get a clear look at the boy.” Upon hearing this, Principal Du found it difficult, “If you didn’t get a good look at his face, then that really is tough.” At that moment, Director Shu spoke up, “That kid is between 1.45 and 1.50 meters tall. If we select based on this height, it might be quicker. I might be able to recognize him from these students.” There weren’t especially many students at the school, and with the height restriction, the number was even fewer. Principal Du’s eyes lit up, “Okay, I’ll speak to each class teacher and have them call out the students in this height range.” He promptly used the announcement system to inform everyone. “Let’s go out and have a look.” Director Shu walked outside. Liu Shanquan followed him out, and the two headed towards the sports field. Just then, Director Shu saw a student running ahead, the hairstyle, the silhouette, and that speed, wasn’t it the student from yesterday? He excitedly called out at once, “Student ahead, wait a moment.” It seemed Qin Yu heard someone calling out, but since his name wasn’t mentioned, he wasn’t sure it was for him. In any case, he had no time to spare at the moment because he was in a hurry to go to the restroom. Director Shu hadn’t expected that by calling the student ahead, the boy wouldn’t stop at all, which made him rather anxious. Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, the student had turned the corner and run off. “It’s him, I saw him.” Liu Shanquan immediately asked, “Director Shu, are you talking about the boy from yesterday?” What a coincidence... to see him just now? Director Shu nodded quickly: “That’s right, it was he who ran off from that corner ahead, let’s quickly go take a look.” “Ah, okay,” Liu Shanquan didn’t ask anymore and picked up the pace. The two of them took a turn up ahead and, after walking a bit further, realized it was a restroom. Liu Shanquan: “He must have gone inside. How about we wait here for a bit?” Director Shu shook his head. “Let’s go in and look for him.” Liu Shanquan: “...” There was no need to rush, but seeing that Director Su had already walked into the restroom, he had no choice but to follow. As soon as they entered the restroom, the pungent smell hit them hard. However, they did find what they were looking for as Director Shu spotted Qin Yu, “It’s him, that’s the one.” Qin Yu, who was in the middle of peeing, nearly jumped when he heard that...no, his pee nearly stopped from fright. He quickly adjusted his trousers and, upon turning around, saw two strangers looking at him with a peculiar gaze, which made him highly alert. “What, what do you want to do? This is a school...” In these times, were kidnappers bold enough to enter schools to snatch people? Seeing his wary eyes, Director Shu knew he had been mistaken for a bad guy and quickly tried to soothe him: “Young student, don’t be nervous. I need to speak with you, how about we talk outside?” Qin Yu had only encountered human traffickers the night before, so now he was extremely vigilant around any strangers. But he knew full well that he couldn’t overpower two larger men on his own. So he feigned calm: “Fine, I’m not nervous. You guys go out first, and I’ll follow shortly.” Director Shu, considering the boy might be scared, nodded, “Alright, then we will step out for a bit, and after you come out, we’ll go to the principal’s office together.” Qin Yu nodded, “Good, you go out now.” Director Shu and Liu Shanquan then walked outside together. They stood by the entrance of the crude restroom. Liu Shanquan even commented, “This kid’s quite vigilant. It’s a good thing.” Director Shu nodded, “Yes, he’s quite brave.” He really liked the look of the young man. He had an intuition that if properly nurtured, this young man could achieve great things. The two of them chatted for a while, and five minutes just flew by. Liu Shanquan sensed something was off: “How come he hasn’t come out yet? He’s not scared to come out, is he? I’ll go check again.” Director Shu also felt it had been too long and nodded in agreement. “Alright.” When Liu Shanquan re-entered the restroom, he found it completely empty. The boy was long gone. Looking up, he couldn’t help but realize there was an open window on the other side, guessing the kid must have jumped out the window and escaped. After coming out, “Director Shu, no need to wait anymore, the kid ran off through that window in the restroom.” Director Shu: ...? He immediately let out a laugh and a sigh. The kid really did take them for bad guys. Meanwhile, Qin Yu had run back to the classroom from another route, patting his chest... thankfully he was fast. To think people were cornering him in the school restroom—it was terrifying. He felt somewhat relieved his little sister wasn’t there; otherwise, she would have been petrified. Just then, Teacher Li entered the classroom, her eyes sweeping around, and then she spotted Qin Yu still at his seat. “Qin Yu, why are you still sitting here? Hurry to the playground to assemble.” Upon hearing this, Qin Yu looked up, “Assemble for what?” Teacher Li looked at him, “Just go, didn’t you hear the principal announcing it over the broadcast?” Qin Yu: ... No, he had not heard it at all. Well, then off to the playground he would go. As he approached Teacher Li, he thought it over and decided he should report the encounter with the two men, “Teacher Li, can you step out for a moment? I have something to report.” Teacher Li, looking puzzled, still stepped outside, “What is it? Speak.” Qin Yu lowered his voice, “Teacher Li, I just encountered two men in the restroom. They definitely looked like bad guys.”
