Chapter 1481: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

Master Mo Yanchi hurried over with a heavy expression.

He brought unsettling news.

"Lady Zhang from the next classroom also went missing last night."

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar and started discussing immediately—

"Are you talking about Zhang Xiao? My God, her family sends a carriage every day to pick her up, and she always has two maids with her. How did she...?"

"It’s terrifying. I remember she was particularly quiet and never alone, and she still got abducted."

The more people talked, the more frightened they became, and the timid female classmates began to cry.

Mo Yanchi quickly raised his hand: "Everyone, there’s no need to panic. The government just came to confirm the registry with our academy."

"The good news within the bad is that since this morning, no woman has gone missing in the Capital. Those thieves must know that the court is taking this seriously and wouldn’t dare act recklessly now. From here on, all we have to do is wait. The Xiuluo Guard will definitely find out the truth quickly!"

Despite his words, everyone was still very scared.

Mo Yanchi said, "There will be no classes today. Once you meet with the servants from your families’ carriages, hurry home, and don’t linger on the road."

At this moment, three constables walked to the door and called out sternly, "Master Mo, a word."

Mo Yanchi quickly walked out.

After he left, the classroom erupted like a pot boiling over.

The timid girls cried, saying they were afraid to go back, while the braver ones, like Fang Youzhen, stood up and patted their chests, saying, "Everyone, don’t be afraid. My brother and I will safely escort you home!"

The girls quickly thanked her and huddled closely around Fang Youzhen.

Bai Zhi’er kept looking outside the door.

She was watching Mo Yanchi.

The constables must have said something, for Mo Yanchi’s face looked very troubled, even somewhat agitated, speaking passionately, as if he was angry.

Bai Zhi’er immediately stood up and slipped out amidst the chaos, unnoticed by anyone except Xie Yu.

She had just reached behind Mo Yanchi when she heard him angrily say—

"Don’t even think about it! Every student is my responsibility. Asking me to use a female student as bait to capture those villains, I will never agree to it. Who knows what accidents might occur? Is anyone not their parents’ child? If something happened, could you bear the responsibility? How would I explain to the children’s parents?"

The constable hurried to appease him, "Master Mo, please calm down. This is also the Marquis’s idea."

Bai Zhi’er exclaimed in surprise, "Did Brother Fu Ce decide this?"

Mo Yanchi turned around, his expression softening considerably: "Dear student, go back inside. With your master here, you don’t have to worry."

Bai Zhi’er realized the situation was serious.

Considering Feng Fuce’s capabilities, it was impossible for him not to find the troublesome group.

The fact that they now needed bait to lure the enemy out meant the group was more formidable than they imagined.

The constable briefly explained the reason to Bai Zhi’er.

"The Marquis says that for this group to commit repeated crimes in and around the Capital, there must be a hideout nearby. The girls who were captured are likely being held in that hideout. So, finding an innocent-looking female student to act as bait is the safest and quickest method. It wouldn’t put the girl in danger because nearby, the Xiu Luo Envoy and officers will be lying in wait, ready to follow the girl to their hideout and catch them all in one sweep."

"Originally... the first choice was Vice Captain Chu’s wife, Madam Chu."
