Chapter 1699: Interrogating Principal Sheng (Part 1)

Some students noticed that the principal wanted Qing Wen to go with them, but Qing Wen was unwilling to go.

That Uncle Qin was very patient in persuading him and stayed to talk with him. The principal left Qing Wen in the office with Uncle Qin. Other students went to class, and Qing Wen did not return to the classroom.

Later, Uncle Qin drove away with Aunt Xiang, and everyone just thought Qing Wen went with his uncle. They didn’t bother to find out why he didn’t return to class in the afternoon.

Le Shui was originally Mengyu’s Hidden Guard and had always been with Le Yin, just that Le Yin was in the open, and he was in the dark.

Today, Mengyu returned home late, so he naturally followed late as well. After he saw Mengyu enter the courtyard, he then headed back to Yang’an Small Courtyard to rest.

Returning to Yang’an Small Courtyard, he routinely went to check on Qing Wen but found Qing Wen was not home. In a panic, he questioned a male student who attended Si Mei Primary School with Qing Wen and found out that Qing Wen was taken away by some Uncle Qin.

Recalling Qing Wen’s past matters, he immediately informed Mengyu.

Mengyu was furious inside, not expecting Luo Xinseng actually found Qing Wen.

Moreover, Qing Wen is now a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Fifth Level and not without the power to resist, yet he was taken away, indicating the other party is not ordinary.

However, she was sure the Luo Xinseng she saw before was definitely neither an ancient martial arts cultivator nor a Cultivator. So the issue must be with the woman who appeared with him.

This made her secretly resent herself: If she had known that a mere Mortal like Luo Xinseng could stir up trouble, she would have had him watched.

Mengyu handed a batch of Communication Talismans to Le Shui: "Alright, you go find the principal and find out about that woman, then send me a Communication Talisman with the details. I’ll go out to find Qing Wen."

Although she knew the other party had taken him away by noon and he was probably no longer in the city, she still needed to search first.

Principal Sheng of Si Mei Primary School had just lain down when he was awoken. His wife, who had just woken up beside him, was immediately knocked unconscious by a hand chop.

Seeing the shadow standing before him, he was startled, just about to call out when a dagger was pressed against his neck: "Let’s see which is faster: your shout or my blade. And keep your hand away from the switch."

Principal Sheng trembled: "Wh-who are you, what do you want?" Though he wanted to scream loudly, with his life in someone else’s hands, he could only speak in a hushed voice.

"It’s better you don’t know who I am. I just want to know about the man and woman you brought to school today."

Hearing Le Shui ask about the man and woman, Principal Sheng immediately panicked: "What man and woman? I don’t know."

"You don’t know? You don’t know who they are, so why did you let them take Qing Wen?" Le Shui pressed the dagger down, cutting a gash on Principal Sheng’s neck, and blood began to flow.

Principal Sheng, terrified, said: "I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you; I only know the man is named Qin. He came to find his nephew Qin Wenju and asked us to gather all the students to learn how to shake hands, giving out a backpack for every handshake. Later, they found a boy named Qing Wen and said they found him and wanted to take him. I was in a difficult position then, so I let them talk to Qing Wen themselves.

I had the Director call Qing Wen to the principal’s office. The woman among the couple spoke gently to Qing Wen, persuading him to return with his uncle.

I saw that they did nothing to Qing Wen, so I left the office. By noon, Qing Wen left with them.

That’s all there is to it; I don’t know anything else."
