Chapter 589: Something Happened
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After putting away the blueprint, Shi Man didn’t say anything else to them and turned to leave the villa.
Yi Zheng didn’t expect her to leave so quickly. When he saw the identification report in her hand, he raised his eyebrows at her in surprise. “You didn’t settle scores with them. Why did you take this out?”
“I want to find someone.” Shi Man got into the car and handed the blueprint to Tang Zhe. “Inform the brothers in the black market to strictly investigate the people circulating this thing. Not only in G City, but also in the capital and M City.”
“Yes.” Tang Zhe immediately arranged for people to closely monitor the recent movements of the black market.
“There’s one more thing.” Shi Man said, “Get someone to keep an eye on Yi Ming and Yi Che. I suspect that they know how to contact Lin Si.”
This matter was actually not difficult to figure out. Heat poison was not easy to obtain. Yi Ming had done something wrong in the past, so how could he have such a thing again?
Therefore, there was only one possibility for the other party to know that Yi Ming had such a thing. Yi Ming did not obtain this poison with his own strength back then.
In the past, Yi Che had joined forces with Lin Si, so Shi Man suspected that Lin Si had known from the beginning that Yi Ming had such a thing. He could even be responsible for helping Yi Ming obtain such a thing.
If they monitored the movements and communication equipment around Yi Ming and Yi Che, they might be able to find some clues.
This was also the main reason why Shi Man changed her mind at the last minute today and did not attack the two of them.
Instead of alerting the enemy now, she might as well choose to suppress it for the time being. She would pretend to believe whatever Yi Ming said so that he would reveal more flaws.
After settling the matters in G City, the two of them quickly returned to the capital. After all, there were many things to do there.
In the class, Bai Xue, who was sitting in the last row, was looking at the time on the wall uneasily. It had been nearly ten minutes since Su Tang left the class, but she had not returned to continue class.
Tong Su’s seat in the first row was already empty. Not long after Su Tang took leave and left, Tong Su also applied for leave to go to the washroom and had yet to return.
Shi Man was not around today. If anything really happened to Su Tang in school, only Bai Xue could help her.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. She raised her hand and interrupted the teacher’s lecture with a guilty expression. “I want to go to the toilet too.”
On the podium, the teacher glared at Bai Xue unhappily and knocked on the other two empty seats. Her expression turned cold. “None of you like to listen to my class, right? All of you have to take leave during class. Why didn’t you go to the washroom after class just now?”
The teacher threw the textbook in her hand angrily and pointed at Bai Xue. “Stand up. Do you understand what I just said? Repeat it to me. If you can answer it, I’ll let you out!”
The classroom was immediately filled with gloating whispers.
Bai Xue braced herself and stared at the classmates who were watching her make a fool of herself. She stood up from her seat in fear and said weakly, “Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m new here and don’t understand your class.” “Newcomer, why aren’t you working hard?” The teacher pointed at Bai Xue and scolded, “Newcomers can’t keep up with the class to begin with. Your exam score will only lower the average score of the class. Don’t you know shame?”
Bai Xue had been a good student doted on by her teacher since she started school. This was the first time she had been scolded like this in front of the entire class. Her face immediately turned red with grievance, and there was a tear in the corner of her eye.
However, Su Tang might have already encountered danger. Even if she was dissuaded by her teacher, she could not sit back and do nothing.
Thinking of this, Bai Xue clenched her fists and mustered her courage to shout, “I’m sorry, Teacher. I really want to go to the washroom! When I come back, I’ll definitely work harder! I’ll help you see why those two students haven’t returned!”
The teacher did not expect Bai Xue to be able to persist after being reprimanded to this extent in public. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
However, on second thought, the other two had indeed left for a long time. Only then did she soften her tone. “Alright, I’ll only give you five minutes. Bring them back for me!”
“Okay!” Finally getting the teacher’s approval, Bai Xue rushed out of the classroom, not daring to waste a second.
Du Yan frowned as she watched her run out. She held her cell phone with both hands and quickly sent a message to Tong Su, informing her to immediately stop what she was doing.
In the washroom, there was a pair of thin and long legs on the water-stained ground. The dirty water had wet the person’s dress, and a corner of her shirt was still stepped on the ground by a pair of big feet.
A sinister smile bloomed in her ears. Su Tang looked up in a daze and saw Tong Su and a few girls surrounding her and talking mockingly.
A slippery liquid slowly flowed down from the top of her head. Su Tang raised her hand to touch it, but she could only smell the smell of rust. Her vision was blurry..
