Jiang Qiuyue's mind raced. Finally, she steeled herself and forcibly turned the security guard around. Before he could lose his temper, she said in a mysterious tone:
"You probably don't know what happened at this school, do you?"
Although the guard still looked furious, her words had already caught his attention.
Jiang Qiuyue was delighted.
My guess was right!
The guard had probably been hired without knowing what he was getting into. He knew something was wrong with the school, but no one had told him the details. He might well have spent plenty of time wondering about it, so naturally, a chance to hear some gossip piqued his interest.
Jiang Qiuyue hurriedly began spinning her tale.
Seeing that Jiang Qiuyue had diverted the guard's attention, Li Xian quietly told the person on the other side of the gate to stand up. Only then did he get a clear look at Teacher Shang's face.
His appearance matched his voice on the phone surprisingly well. He had a clean-cut air about him, with neatly trimmed black hair falling over his forehead. Behind his black-framed glasses were slightly downturned eyes that held no hint of aggression.

Although Li Xian didn't want to judge anyone by their looks, Teacher Shang's appearance... no one would take him for a bad person at first glance.
Teacher Shang pressed his lips together nervously and, following Li Xian's instructions, clumsily climbed onto the retractable gate.
Watching Teacher Shang wobble as though he might fall at any moment, Li Xian couldn't help worrying.
But this really was the easiest place to climb into the school-the fences everywhere else had no footholds and had all been topped with an extra layer of barbed wire.
While Jiang Qiuyue vividly spun her story for the guard,
