290: Jiang Fei was confessed

Mu Qingzhou looked at Lu Yu in confusion, "Wasn't Jiang Xiaoshi picked up by you?"

"He told me you would be picking him up today."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, "I've been waiting at the entrance for half an hour and haven't seen Xiao Shi."

"How many entrances and exits does Yucai Academy have in total?"

"Just this one." Mu Qingzhou recalled carefully, "I went to look for Xiao Shi fifteen minutes ago. He said you were coming to pick him up, so I went back to the office to pack my things."

"Xiao Shi's teaching building, Building B, is about seven or eight minutes away from the entrance. He should have come out a long time ago."

Lu Yu's heart sank.

Xiao Shi was probably in trouble.

He immediately returned to the car to get his walkie-talkie and contacted Jiang Fei and the others, asking them to come and help find Xiao Shi.

Mu Qingzhou also realized something was wrong and stepped forward, saying, "Don't worry, Xiao Shi hasn't come out, so he must still be in Yucai Academy."

"Let's split up and search now. Maybe he went somewhere to play..."

Before Mu Qingzhou could finish speaking, Lu Yu ran into Yucai Academy.

"Stop! Outsiders are not allowed in Yucai Academy!"

The security guard from the security office at the entrance rushed out, intending to chase Lu Yu, but was stopped by Mu Qingzhou.

"He is my friend."

"If someone claiming to be Jiang Xiaoshi's family comes later, you don't need to stop them; let them in."

Recognizing Mu Qingzhou, the security guard nodded in agreement.

Ping An Small Mall was far from Yucai Academy.

Jiang Fei and the others drove for nearly an hour before arriving.

Except for Ling Zhaorui, Xiao Chuxia, and Mother Xiao, who were at work, everyone from the small mall came.

Upon learning that they were Jiang Xiaoshi's family, the security guard quickly let them pass.

Everyone entered Yucai Academy and got out of their cars to search for Jiang Xiaoshi separately.

The teaching building, the library, the swimming pool, the gymnasium, the cafeteria... all the places that could be searched were searched, but there was still no trace of Jiang Xiaoshi.

Jiang Fei and Su Liuyuan met on the playground.

Jiang Zhengkang was already crying anxiously, "I shouldn't have sent Xiao Shi to Yucai Academy. If he had stayed under my nose, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened..."

"It's Xiao Shi!"

Suddenly, Su Liuyuan shouted.

Lu Yu walked over from a distance, holding Jiang Xiaoshi.

"My child!" Jiang Zhengkang fumbled to take Jiang Xiaoshi.

Jiang Xiaoshi was wrapped in Lu Yu's jacket.

Despite the high temperature of over forty degrees, his body was constantly shivering, and his small face was a bit pale.

Jiang Zhengkang immediately took off his short-sleeved shirt and put it on Jiang Xiaoshi, tenderly rubbing his cold little hands, "Where did you go? Why are you so cold?"

Jiang Xiaoshi lowered his head and said nothing.

Lu Yu spoke up and told everyone, "I found Xiao Shi in the underground cold storage room of the cafeteria."

"The temperature there is only minus five degrees. He was locked in for over three hours, and his jacket was also gone."

"I just asked him who took him to the cold storage room, and he said he went in out of curiosity, not realizing the door would automatically lock once it closed."

Jiang Fei and the others were stunned.

Not to mention that Jiang Xiaoshi never ran around, what was so curious about a cold storage room, a place for storing food?

He was clearly lying to Lu Yu.

Jiang Zhengkang, "Xiao Shi, tell Daddy, why exactly did you go to the cold storage room?"

"I heard the food inside was better than in Ping An, so I went in to look..." Jiang Xiaoshi avoided Jiang Zhengkang's gaze with a guilty conscience.

Seeing that he was still lying, Jiang Fei squatted down and said earnestly, "Do you remember what I told you on the day you passed the interview?"

"If anyone bullies you, you must tell us, and we will help you stand up for yourself."

"If you don't tell us, it will only make us more worried."

Xiao Shi had been obedient and sensible since they first met, and he wouldn't lie.

The reason he was hiding it was probably because he was afraid of causing them trouble.

Cao Xiuhong, "Xiao Shi, will you tell us the truth?"

Su Liuyuan, "No matter who bullied you, Handsome Big Brother promises to get revenge for you."

Yao Jin, Niu Er, and Han Yang also expressed their support for Jiang Xiaoshi.

Listening to everyone's words, Jiang Xiaoshi could no longer suppress his grievances and burst into tears.

"It was Xiao Xuan!"

"Today, when I came out of the teaching building, Xiao Xuan ambushed and knocked me out. When I woke up, I was in the cold storage room. The door was too thick, and I banged on it for help, but no one responded."

"Xiao Xuan is fat and tall, I can't beat him."

"Before, in class, Xiao Xuan often bullied me. He dirtied my lunchbox, stepped on my foot, and even framed me for stealing."

"I'm sorry, Daddy, Big Sister, Brother Lu, I lied. I was afraid of causing you trouble, and that you would think I was a troublemaker and wouldn't want me..."

"Silly child, Daddy will never abandon you." Jiang Zhengkang lovingly stroked Jiang Xiaoshi's head.

Thinking of the grievances his child suffered, he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Daddy will go and catch that Xiao Xuan for you right now, so you can vent your anger!"

As Jiang Zhengkang angrily went to look for someone, Su Liuyuan pulled him back.

"Uncle Jiang, don't be impulsive yet."

"Students who enter Yucai Academy all pass an interview to ensure their character is fine. I don't think this matter is that simple. Could someone be instigating Xiao Xuan?"

"If so, then we need to expose the person behind Xiao Xuan, otherwise Xiao Shi will continue to be bullied."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingzhou ran over.

"Miss Jiang, would it be convenient to chat alone?"

"It's about Xiao Shi."

"Yes." Jiang Fei followed Mu Qingzhou to his office.

After closing the door, Mu Qingzhou slowly explained the situation.

After Jiang Fei and the others arrived at Yucai Academy, Mu Qingzhou went to find Jiang Xiaoshi's classmates.

He hoped to find some clues from the students, and several people had seen Xiao Xuan carrying away an unconscious Jiang Xiaoshi.

Xiao Xuan had said at the time that Jiang Xiaoshi had fainted from heatstroke and that he was taking him to the infirmary, so those students didn't interfere.

"The staff at Yucai Academy just told me that you found Xiao Shi in the cold storage room."

"This doesn't match what Xiao Xuan said, so I went to the archives to get some information, hoping to find Xiao Xuan's parents to cooperate with the investigation, only to find that his mother is Kong Sumei, Kong Linlan's Big Sister."

Mu Qingzhou was about to show Jiang Fei the information sheet on the table, but then he thought of something and withdrew his hand.

He also put the information sheet under a book.

"The incident at the military store caused quite a stir before, and I also heard about your conflict with Kong Linlan and them. Xiao Xuan's actions are probably instigated by Kong Sumei."

"I'm worried that if you know all this, you'll go looking for revenge, do something impulsive, and get punished, so I came to find you first."

"I will report today's matter to the Base Leader and let him handle it. I promise you, there will be a result before tomorrow night."

Fearing that Jiang Fei wouldn't believe him, Mu Qingzhou revealed his background:

"The Base Leader is my biological brother. He took our father's surname, and I took our mother's surname. Our relationship is also very good, and he will expedite the handling of this matter."

Jiang Fei was very surprised.

Not only because Xiao Xuan's mother was Kong Sumei, but also because of Mu Qingzhou's identity.

But why would Mu Qingzhou help them?

Unable to figure out his intentions, Jiang Fei directly asked what was on her mind.

Mu Qingzhou nervously clutched his clothes, gathering courage to answer, "I'm afraid you'll act impulsively, get kicked out of the base, and I'll never see you again."

"I, I like you!"

"I drop Xiao Shi off after school, and I go to Ping An Small Mall every day, all because I want to see you more." Mu Qingzhou asked, blushing,

"Miss Jiang, are you willing to be with me?"

Jiang Fei was stunned.

She never expected that Mu Qingzhou's intentions were directed at her.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you."

"Even with more contact, there's no possibility for us. I don't feel anything for you."

"Furthermore, I don't want to be in a romantic relationship."

Jiang Wunqing's three sentences extinguished all of Mu Qingzhou's hopes.

Mu Qingzhou's eyes drooped in disappointment.

A moment later, he forced a smile, "I won't bother you at the small mall anymore."

"Tomorrow, when there's a result regarding Xiao Shi's matter, I'll have a staff member inform you in Ping An."

Miss Jiang had made it very clear; if he continued to pester her, he would be tactless.

"I'll see you out."

"No need." Jiang Fei refused Mu Qingzhou and opened the door to walk out of the office.

Suddenly, she saw Lu Yu standing in the hallway.

He was holding a jacket in his arms.
