Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 1468

Chapter 1468: Discovered by the School

Now that they had finally shaken off the tail, dead silence filled the car. Only the sound of car tires rolling across the road could be heard. It was like the darkest period before dawn fell.

As for Curtis, after slowing down, he was stopped by a police car.

After he got out of the car, he broke out of the encirclement and sprinted off. Then, the car owner Muir, who was studying very seriously at home, was dragged to the police station with a confused expression. He was fined and detained, and even had to compensate the car owners whose cars had been damaged due to Curtis’s reckless driving.

A lesson that could be learned from this tragedy was that one shouldn’t anyhow lend their car to other people, especially your rival in love.

Bai Qingqing’s form teacher felt that her behavior of late had been rather abnormal, so after allowing her to leave school, the teacher called her parents.

In the end, the form teacher found out that there wasn’t any family emergency at all. When she called Bai Qingqing again, she could no longer be reached.

The form teacher immediately called for Tang Li and questioned her. Tang Li said that she didn’t know what was going on. Because it had happened not long ago, no one suspected a kidnap or anything, so they didn’t place particular importance on it.

Bai Qingqing’s disappearance and Tang Li being questioned were seen by everyone in class. They all knew that something must have happened to her, but Tang Li refused to tell anyone.

After class, Zhang Xin suddenly approached Tang Li.

“What exactly is the matter with her?” he asked worriedly. “Did something happen to her family? She never applies for leave.”

Tang Li was also anxious. Thinking that Zhang Xin should be able to help, she then told him the truth, “Bai Qingqing lied to the teacher. She can’t be contacted at the moment. I don’t know what happened to her. The form teacher and her parents decided to wait till the night. If by then she still can’t be contacted, they’ll call the police.”

“What?” Zhang Xin was shocked. After some thought, he said, “Something must have gone wrong. If we wait till nighttime, it might be too late already.”

Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Once the call got through, Zhang Xin said urgently, “Daddy, my classmate is missing. Can you help find her?”

Sitting in the police station and dealing with Muir’s car crash incident, the police chief frowned deeply. After all, the country viewed Muir highly, and he didn’t wish to offend him.

Hearing his son’s words, he shouted angrily, “You think I don’t have enough on my plate?”

That’s right, Zhang Xin was the son of an official. His dad was not only the police chief, but he was also the vice-province head. He wielded great power and influence.

“Dad, I’m talking about a serious matter. When they report it to the police, you’ll have to handle it anyway.” Zhang Xin said with a serious countenance, “Just help me investigate it. It only happened an hour ago. If you start from the surveillance cameras at the school entrance, you’ll get to the bottom of this in no time.”

The police chief massaged his temples and cast an apologetic look at Muir, who was sitting opposite him. He then helplessly said, “Quickly tell me the details.”

Zhang Xin heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Her name is Bai Qingqing. Her ID number is xxxxxxxxxxxx. If her ID photo isn’t clear, I can send you a few casual photos.”

The police chief: “…” Why in the world would you memorize someone else’s ID number so clearly?

“Qingqing?” Only then did Muir realize what had happened. He abruptly got up, grabbed the police chief by his collar, and asked urgently, “What happened to her?”

The police chief was startled and quickly said, “My son said she has disappeared. Do you know her? Don’t worry. It couldn’t have been anything serious. I bet the child is just being playful.”

Muir naturally didn’t believe that. Since even Curtis was anxious, something must have happened to Qingqing.

“I’m going to find her!” Muir turned around and prepared to go out. At the same time, he whipped out his phone to call Winston and Parker.

Seeing him look so serious, the police chief also started getting serious. He immediately gathered his men to investigate this matter.

By the time he found the surveillance video in which Bai Qingqing was forced into a car and sent out his men to rescue her, Muir was already nowhere to be seen.
