Editor: Atlas Studios
Principal Zhang sent Xiao Qimo all the way to the door. His attitude was as respectful as it could possibly be.
“Mr. Xiao, have you really made your decision?”
Xiao Qimo stood elegantly before the admin building. His left sleeve was cuffed, and he put his hand in his pocket with elegant and poise.
He shook Principal Zhang’s hand cordially. “Principal Zhang, please call me Headmaster Qi.”
Headmaster Qi…
Principal Zhang felt cold sweat trickle down his forehead. “Mr. Xiao, why don’t you reconsider…”
Such a big shot was coming to their school to be a headmaster. He was not going to teach or lecture, nor was he going to be paid. He just wanted to be a headmaster in charge of discipline.
Were all the big shots from Capital Jin so free?
“Principal Zhang, don’t you want to solve the issue with the gazebo?” Xiao Qimo retracted his hand and propped his glasses up.
Principal Zhang gave in immediately. “Headmaster Qi, when is a good time for you to start?”
Xiao Qimo was going to say within the next couple of days, but his eyes landed on a certain girl in the distance.
The girl was tall, slender and pretty.
Even if she were in a crowd, he could spot her in an instance.
Lu Mian, we meet again.
But what was up with the two boys around her?
If he were not on campus personally, he would never know that Lu Mian had such an endearing side.
His eyes, which were hidden behind a pair of gold glasses, were filled with an unknown emotion. “I can start now.” He said evenly.
Principal Zhang was perplexed. He followed Xiao Qimo’s gaze and saw a girl afar, who happened to be looking at them as well.
Even though Principal Zhang was afraid of Xiao Qimo, he still said, “Headmaster Qi, that girl’s rather special. If she does something wrong in the future, we adopt a gentle and educational approach…”
His words piqued Xiao Qimo’s interest.
“Why?”
“Sigh, it’s fine if I tell you. She’s a victim from the 726 incident. We received special instructions from the Education Ministry to let her grow freely. Perhaps her family has connections there, so they’re taking extra care.”
Xiao Qimo curled his lips, as if in mockery.
Lu Mian’s family could not wait for her to leave, how could they possibly be behind that?
If not the Lu Family, then it had to be someone else.
The mysteries on this girl were growing…
…
After Lu Mian saw Xiao Qimo from the distance, she instantly walked away.
The two boys who were still entranced by the limited edition car, caught up with her after they returned to their senses.
“Brother Mian! Brother Mian! You’re in the wrong direction, the library’s that way.”
“You guys go; I’m heading to the back mountain.”
She’s really going!
“Brother Mian, you shouldn’t! Even if you do, we’ll come with you.”
Lu Mian, who did not have such intentions, waved them goodbye from afar.
Both Fatty and Skinny were stunned as they stared at Lu Mian from afar. “Oh no… We’re in trouble!”
After Lu Mian got to the back mountain, she found the famed gazebo effortlessly.
It was indeed surrounded by an electric fence. For some reason,the gazebo could not be demolished, so they could only use the electric fence to cordon it.
The gazebo was truly a mystery.
According to information from Elder Su, the last known location of the kidnappers before they disappeared was Kun Peng Middle School, though the exact location was unknown. Their motive for coming here was unknown.
She needed to survey the entire school and leave no stone unturned.
Perhaps that was the only way she could find the true lair of those people.
As she inched closer, she closed her eyes to get a feel of the surroundings.
But before she could feel anything, she heard footsteps from behind.
It was coupled with a smooth, man’s voice.
“Lu Mian, I’m here.”
