Su Ming was also very surprised. In his memory, Tang Yan had never been late. He always appeared in the classroom before the bell rang.
"Quiet, everyone, don't talk. Please wait patiently."
Minke stood up and said to everyone.
The noisy classroom immediately fell silent, and everyone waited patiently.
Ten minutes passed quickly, but Tang Yan still hadn't appeared. Minke was getting restless, so he stood up, took out his phone, and walked out of the classroom.
Seeing Minke go out to make a call, the others couldn't help but whisper.
Su Ming rested his chin on one hand, tapping the table lightly with his finger as he pondered, a bad feeling suddenly arising in his mind.
After a few minutes, Minke walked back in and said to everyone.
"I called Teacher Tang. He's not feeling well and is taking the day off. Everyone, study on your own!"
These words were like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples. Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"No way, they're making us study on our own?"
"What happened to Teacher Tang? Is he abandoning us?"
"Could it be that the teacher was stimulated yesterday and had a breakdown?"
Su Ming was also helpless. It really was a case of the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. With the City Exam just a few days away, Teacher Tang was making them study on their own. It was truly one misfortune after another!
"Everyone be quiet, stop talking, and study well."
Minke shouted again, a little annoyed.
The class fell silent again. Everyone sighed and lowered their heads to study.
Upper City · Villa No. 17, Tianlan, living room.
Su Yuan nervously greeted an elderly man with white hair, wrinkled skin covered in dark spots, a stern expression, and a black suit.
"Mr. Jiang Yu, please have a seat. I'll pour you some water. I didn't expect you to be the one coming this time."
"Mm."
Jiang Yu sat down calmly on the comfortable sofa.
"Um, may I ask, my father regarding this matter..."
Su Yuan trembled slightly as he handed the cup of warm water to Jiang Yu, his heart pounding in his chest.
This Mr. Jiang Yu was a very important figure in their family, not only a top information expert but also his former teacher.
Unfortunately, Su Yuan hadn't learned much, and now he had forgotten it all.
But these weren't the main points. The main point was that the family had dispatched him, which meant the old man attached great importance to this matter. He was now very worried about the old man's attitude.
This showed how much Su Yuan feared his father.
Zhao Ning, standing beside Su Yuan, stepped on his foot slightly and glared at him, telling him not to be so cowardly.
However, Su Yuan was like a startled fawn at this moment, completely unable to control himself, looking at Jiang Yu with wide eyes.
"Thank you. Regarding young master Su Ming being humiliated and trying to hang himself, the old man already knows everything. He is extremely furious! No matter what, Su Ming is his grandson, and he will not tolerate others bullying him like this. Therefore, he has specifically dispatched me to investigate this matter. Once it's clarified, he will intervene from above."
Jiang Yu took the cup of water and replied calmly.
"Did he say anything about me?"
Su Yuan asked, still worried.
"No."
Jiang Yu replied with a smile.
"That's great."
Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
Zhao Ning, watching Su Yuan, was also utterly exasperated. They had moved out for so long, yet he was still so afraid of the old man.
In fact, Zhao Ning also felt a bit of disappointment in Su Yuan.
When she married into the Su Family, everyone in her family thought they could climb up and curry favor with the Su Family. To her family's surprise, Su Yuan was not only incompetent but also extremely timid and terrified of the old man. In the end, they were kicked out.
He was unable to provide any connections or help to her family. Because of this, her family looked down on Zhao Ning. Every time she went back, they would make sarcastic remarks.
However, Zhao Ning was quite open-minded. After all, although Su Yuan was a bit foolish, he was very good to her and their son.
Just then, Chen Hui led in a middle-aged man wearing a gray work uniform, a safety helmet, and disheveled hair.
"Boss, something's happened at the junkyard."
The middle-aged man saw Su Yuan and rushed to report.
Su Yuan glanced at the man who had entered and asked impatiently.
"Hu Jia, what happened that you had to come over now? Don't you see I'm entertaining a distinguished guest?"
"Two people have gone missing at the junkyard. They can't be found anywhere."
Hu Jia quickly reported.
"If someone's missing, won't you look for them? What good is telling me? Do you think I can go help you find them? Don't bother me, I have important things to do here."
Su Yuan impatiently dismissed Hu Jia. His most important task today was to discuss with Jiang Yu how to get revenge for his son; everything else could wait.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Seeing Su Yuan's anger, Hu Jia immediately and nervously left.
After Hu Jia left, Su Yuan said to Jiang Yu.
"Mr. Jiang Yu, when do you plan to start your investigation? I can then take you to the school."
"No need, I will investigate this matter myself."
Jiang Yu replied with a smile.
"Huh? If you don't go to the school, how will you access the internal campus network to investigate?"
Su Yuan asked with confusion.
"Young Master Su Yuan, actually, if the school truly wanted to find the culprit, it wouldn't be difficult. But the fact that there's no result at all says everything. If we investigate openly, it will definitely provoke resistance from local forces and alert the guilty party. Therefore, I will secretly infiltrate the academy's internal network to investigate covertly. You can rest assured and leave it to me."
Jiang Yu sighed inwardly. So many years had passed, and his student's brain was still as slow as ever.
"Thank you, I'll trouble you then."
Zhao Ning thanked him quickly.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do."
Jiang Yu replied calmly.
As evening approached, ringing sounds echoed across Mient Campus.
In the classroom, Minke stood up and addressed the students.
"Self-study is over, everyone can go home. Also, I plan to visit Teacher Tang's home. Is anyone willing to come with me?"
"I've been studying all day, I'm so tired, I won't go."
"I have plans tonight, I can't make it."
Students said with difficulty.
"Class monitor, I'll go with you."
Su Ming stood up and said to Minke. Although he felt visiting was troublesome, Teacher Tang had been very good to him.
He had to go, both out of obligation and reason. More importantly, he needed to help Teacher Tang cheer up quickly; otherwise, what about the upcoming City Exam?
Seeing that Su Ming was willing to go with him, Minke was about to call him to leave together when a very sharp, mocking voice suddenly rang out.
"You going to comfort the teacher? You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Last night, you comforted Teacher Tang until he broke down."
