Chapter 160: Chapter 157: The Impossible Suspect

Conference room.

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive. Principal Wei and others were worried about the safety of the three children, unable to relax.

Chu Mengyao spoke, "The two people beside me are here specifically to solve the case. This is Zhang Lu, she can mobilize all the police forces, so you don’t need to worry aimlessly. What you can do now is provide all the information you have."

Principal Wei and others were startled, then delighted. The fact that she could mobilize all police forces showed how much the president had invested, and how concerned they were about the situation of the three children. Without guessing, they knew Zhang Lu must have a significant background.

This was many times more effective than them reporting to the police and having a few officers come to ask questions.

Ye Fan’s identity was unknown to them, but to be associated with the president, he surely wasn’t an ordinary person.

Principal Wei and others gradually calmed down, just as the president said, worrying aimlessly was useless; the priority was to find the children.

"Is this Officer Zhang Lu? I’ve seen you on TV. You’ve caught a lot of bad guys. Your skills are excellent. You must be able to help us find the children, right?" A teacher said expectantly.

Zhang Lu looked embarrassedly and glanced at Ye Fan with interest. She had been on TV a limited number of times, mostly because Ye Fan subdued the villains, and the credit fell on her, which made her appear on TV more than once.

"Hello, we’d like to know the specifics about the three children," Zhang Lu smiled at Principal Wei and others.

"They left the campus during lunch break, and usually, such situations rarely occur. There is surveillance within the school. From what we learned from the security, the three children went out for a while. The security dutifully watched them from afar, but at one corner, they lost sight of the children."

Principal Wei explained everything he knew in detail without any concealment.

Such an incident had never happened before. The school didn’t oppose children going out, but the children were sensible and wouldn’t wander far. Everyone outside the school were acquaintances, and the students of Yucai School were well-liked because they were sweet-talkers and often helped out some store owners. Most of these store owners’ businesses catered to the Yucai School, so they were kind-hearted.

More importantly, with recent frequent cases of missing children, teachers had especially told the children to stay on campus if possible unless necessary. All other students were obedient and didn’t leave the school, except for the three missing children who bizarrely left the campus. For safety, the security followed them, but things still happened.

"I see," Zhang Lu pondered.

Ye Fan asked, "Principal Wei, are those three children sensible?"

"They are, they are fifth-grade students, each more sensible than the other," Principal Wei replied.

"Logically, they wouldn’t leave the campus for no reason. Someone familiar must have enticed them, and it’s just at one corner that they disappeared. It shows that whoever took the children planned it meticulously. With surveillance in the campus, quietly taking three children is difficult. But outside the campus, it’s uncertain," Ye Fan’s thoughts quickly turned while his gaze observed the teachers, hoping to spot anything unusual.

He concluded simply that these teachers genuinely cared about the three children; no one was pretending.

"Listening to you, I find it odd too. The children were obedient and wouldn’t leave the campus on their own," Principal Wei furrowed his brows, filled with doubts.

The school was particularly devoted to the education of students, and each student’s self-discipline was very strong, unmatched by other children of the same age. Without the school’s repeated emphasis, at such a time, the three children leaving the campus was inherently very suspicious.

Ye Fan said calmly, "I have reason to suspect that the disappearance of the three children is linked to someone within the school staff. It’s highly possible that the children were enticed by someone familiar, then taken away."

As soon as he spoke, Principal Wei and others’ expressions turned gloomy. They treated the students as their own children, especially since Principal Wei couldn’t have children and adopted four as his own.

Therefore, Ye Fan’s suspicion of a traitor among them was something they couldn’t accept.

"Principal Wei, think carefully. Do you think what my friend said makes sense?" Chu Mengyao understood their concerns.

Principal Wei and others exchanged glances and then nodded.

"I must admit that this suspicion is quite reasonable. However, each faculty member has been here a long time. Even the newly recruited teachers have been around for more than four years, so there shouldn’t be such a person internally," Principal Wei said earnestly.

"Is everyone present?" Ye Fan asked.

"Including me, there are 34 people in the primary department. But one is missing. Teacher Liu from the financial department has called in, saying there is a family issue and took three days off," Principal Wei cooperated willingly.

"What do you all think about Teacher Liu?" Zhang Lu looked at everyone.

Before anyone could speak, Chu Mengyao said, "Yucai School has been established for about 56 years, starting with my grandfather. It developed to today with significant contributions from Teacher Liu’s family. Teacher Liu’s father was one of the first teachers at Yucai School. Liu himself grew up at Yucai School. After graduating from college, he gave up a promising future to stay at Yucai School. So, Teacher Liu is absolutely reliable, kind, and is generally recognized as a good person in the school. He wouldn’t be the problem."

Chu Mengyao’s words moved the teachers present.

As a prominent CEO, her understanding of Teacher Liu was so thorough, which made them very excited.

Fifty-six years, nurturing generation after generation of children, most starting as orphans until graduating middle school, was what the Chu Group could do. During this period, children could be adopted, and if so, the pressure on the Chu Group would lessen a lot. For those not adopted, the Chu Group would still care for them.

Actually, most children reaching university age had grown up. They chose to no longer receive support from the Chu Group voluntarily, leaving more resources for others like them who were abandoned and became orphans with partners. They would rely on their own hands to bear their tuition and living expenses and support themselves.

To this day, more than half of the teachers around Principal Wei once walked out of Yucai School and eventually returned to where they were raised to contribute in their own capacity.
