Chapter 433: Chapter 434: Xiao Shu is Missing
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei dropped the two kids off at school before heading to their respective companies.
The trouble with Jiang Lin was buried by Xie Yunlin and Ye Xinglan, unknown to any media.
The scandalous story of a brother killing his elder brother and succeeding him, even having a child with his sister-in-law, was bizarre.
If the media catches wind of this, it would be widely publicized.
Ignoring the harm inflicted on others for a second, the person most hurt by the spread of this news would be Jiang Huan’s wife, their grandmother.
She is the most innocent, the most pitiful one.
Under no circumstances should this matter become public knowledge, a topic for idle chatter.
Therefore, at any cost, Xie Yunlin and Ye Xinglan suppressed this matter.
After settling everything, the brothers each made a phone call to Ye Xingbei.
All three siblings agreed, the heinous acts committed by Jiang Lin shouldn’t be publicized to protect their grandmother’s reputation. But Jiang Zhengxing must not be let go.
They would persist in their investigation, they would not rest until Jiang Zhengxing was brought to justice!
Jiang Lin’s corpse was claimed by Jiang Zhengxing, and no word leaked from the Jiang Family.
What Jiang Zhengxing was thinking, Ye Xingbei had no idea.
All she knew was that no matter what Jiang Zhengxing thought or did, she would not let him go.
That afternoon.
It was close to the time Xiao Shumiao was going to be let out of school. Ye Xingbei packed up her things, ready to pick Xiao Shumiao up, then her phone suddenly rang.
It was Xiao Shumiao’s homeroom teacher calling.
Ye Xingbei quickly answered the phone.
Xiao Shumiao’s homeroom teacher’s panic-stricken voice sounded in Ye Xingbei’s ear, “Hello, are you Yiyang’s mother? Have you picked up Yiyang and Lingyue and taken them home?”
“What?” Ye Xingbei’s complexion changed, “School hasn’t let out yet. How could I have picked up Yiyang and Xiao Yue to bring them home? Teacher, why do you ask? Are my son and Xiao Yue not at school?”
“No,” Xiao Shumiao’s homeroom teacher said tearfully, “Yiyang’s mom, could you please check if anyone from your home picked up Yiyang and Xiao Yue?”
“Impossible!”Ye Xingbei’s voice trembled, “If anyone from my family picked up my son, they would inform me. Even if they didn’t inform me, they would tell the school! When did my son go missing?”
Xiao Shumiao’s homeroom teacher couldn’t help but cry, “During the second period of the afternoon, we had physical education outside. The physical education teacher didn’t take the roll call. It was only during the third period, when the language teacher noticed that Yiyang and Lingyue were missing. The language teacher thought they’d taken leave, and it was only towards the end of class when she checked and found out they didn’t take leave. She thought something was wrong, and that’s when she told me. We searched the entire school but couldn’t find them.”
She clung to the dwindling hope that Ye Yiyang and Lingyue might have been picked up by a family member.
But when Ye Xingbei said that it was not the case, she was utterly panicked.
If a student in her class goes missing, she would be responsible.
“What about the surveillance footage?” Ye Xingbei’s head was spinning. Fear and worry coursed through her veins making her shiver, “Did you check the school surveillance?”
“We checked,” Xiao Shumiao’s homeroom teacher cried, “The surveillance camera broke down at some point, we didn’t find anything. Classmates said that after first period was over, they saw Yiyang and Lingyue heading to the toilet. After that, no one saw them at the gym class for the second period.”
Ye Xingbei’s hand shook so much that she could hardly hold her phone.
They were gone right after the second period.
Now, the third period class was about to end.
Including the intermission, it’s been almost two hours already.
If Xiao Shu and Lingyue were kidnapped, two hours would give the kidnappers enough time to go far, far away.
