Chapter 1332: Strangely cold
Chapter 1332: Strangely cold
Song Yan and the rest of the team had no idea that the evil spirit that they were trying to avoid had already set its eyes on them. They made their way to the forest which was a bit far from the training centre and heard Professor He explain, "The reason we chose this building was because it was close to the mountains. These mountains are known for their great hiking spot, it was because of this that we came here. From the start, we only wanted to make sure that the children get the best of everything and did not suffer even in the slightest."
He wanted to tell the officers that whatever was happening had nothing to do with the leaders lest they were dragged into a mess. They were teachers and having their reputation stained after getting involved in a mess like such would cause a lot of disruption in their lives.
Wu Jin coldly hummed. He knew that the reason Professor He was telling them this was to make sure that he was not dragged into an unwanted criminal case.
Though he understood that this was not Professor He's fault, he couldn't forgive them for turning a blind eye to the suffering of the children. That wasn't everything, with the incidents that happened in the training centre, the teachers were still trying their best to make sure that they remained unscathed till the end.
On the other side, Captain Lei and the other three were looking around the forest. They couldn't help but ask why the teachers did not go deep in the forest and look for Kang Qiao who did not turn up after a few days. Professor, He felt even more guilty under this question, he thought about the reason why they all hesitated and relayed it to them. Before coming here they had no idea that the forest was actually infested with wild wolves, it was only when the howls of those animals echoed in the deeper woods, did they realize that it was actually a dangerous place.
Of course, the one who chose this spot was Headmaster Yuan. The teachers were aware that it was because this place was cheaper than the rest, that the headmaster chose this building for the training centre but of course, they couldn't relay this to the officers. As it would only reflect badly on them.
"Wolves?" Captain Lei was speechless as he looked at Professor He. "You brought the student to a place which was close to the forest where wolves reside?"
Professor He knew that Captain Lei was blaming him. He cursed the Headmaster in his heart before saying, "We had no idea. What's more the forest rangers assured us that the wolves never come down to the outer region of the Forest and stay in the deeper woods. We also relayed this to the children, who would have thought that they would actually not listen to us?"
Professor He and the rest of the professors indeed relayed the information of wolves residing in the deep woods to the children. Back then everyone agreed to not go into the woods but troublemakers like Kang Qiao and the rest had different plans.
Yun Yi sighed and then said to Wu Jin, "Deputy Chief Wu, I think the disappearance of the kids in the woods was due to the wolves. I think we should transfer this job to the forest rangers. We need to find the corpses of those who have disappeared."
Yan Shan and Rong Wei thought the same, after all, it was too much of a coincidence that the woods were festered with wolves and the children disappeared in these very woods. It could only be said that it was the children who courted death first despite knowing what they shouldn't do.
While Song Yan and Wu Jin on the other hand did not say anything. They calmly walked through the path in the forest and ignored the theories that Yan Shan and Yun Yi came up with one after another.
The place where the children who went to the woods and returned were found was quite far from the training centre. It took them more than an hour to arrive at the spot. Captain Lei and the rest were officers and it was normal for them to not pant and flush red because of extreme walking.
However, Song Yan who was walking next to them in high heels seemed to be walking on a run away she did not even break a sweat and looked rather refreshing.
Rong Wei couldn't help but remark, "Madam Song, your stamina is really good." He had seen many women who ended up complaining after walking in high heels for less than ten minutes. However Song Yan had been walking in high heels for more than an hour, and she did not even complain in the slightest.
Song Yan curled her lips in a sly smile and stated, "This is nothing much. Compared to me, you all are better."
Her words boosted the ego of the four men who increased their pace with their chests puffed out. Even Professor He relaxed under their light-hearted bickering and teasing.
As they arrived at the small pit where the kids who fainted on their way back were found, however, Professor He became tensed once again. He looked at the pit with a nervous expression and then said to the rest of the group, "This... This is where the children were found."
This pit was far from the training centre and after the incidents that happened in the forest, the teachers made it their goal to make sure that the children wouldn't be able to sneak past them. Thus, the pit was left untouched.
