Chapter 22: Zhao Donglai
On the way back, the scenery is still the same, blue sea, blue sky, sunshine, and fish. But no one appreciated all this, and the laughter and laughter when they came were gone, and the silence was terrible.
These two weeks seem to have passed a long time, as if two centuries have passed for them, but fortunately they have finally come to an end.
The driver somehow got the information early and was already waiting in front of the pier. Get off the boat, get in the car, start it, set off β what once shocked them now feels boring.
After more than two hours, watching those children being sent home by the driver one by one, Lu Mingming's hanging heart slowly settled down.
"Teacher Lu, where are you going?" the driver's inquiry broke the terrible silence in the air.
"Let's go to the bright road. Lu Mingming replied weakly.
Since the place where they dropped off the last student was not very far from Guangming Road, they fell into the intersection after a while.
"Just stop here!" Lu Mingming said suddenly, and the driver slowly braked the car and opened the door.
"You go back first, you don't have to wait for us. Lu Mingming said to the driver after getting out of the car, and the driver nodded slightly at her when he heard this, and after saying hello, he took a gear and drove away.
Standing at the intersection and looking at the street in front of you, although there are some changes, it is still so familiar and warm. Lu Mingming's heart, which she thought had already calmed down, suddenly rolled uncontrollably.
"Get out, my parents don't have you anymore, and I don't have you anymore. This extremely cold sentence suddenly exploded in her ears, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble, fear hit her like a tide, and she couldn't take any steps to move forward.
Just when she felt weak and powerless, Ouyang Yingying suddenly hugged her from behind, she felt that she could no longer stand, and slowly squatted down. Although it felt a little weird, Ouyang Yingying still hugged her tightly and let her bury her head in her arms.
"Teacher, don't be afraid, I'm here. Her voice was so gentle.
"No...... I don't know how to face him. I didn't get a last look after his parents left, and now that his son is missing from me, I ........." she forced herself to cry out loud.
"Teacher, he is your younger brother after all, after so many years, he will always let go, right?" Ouyang Yingying stroked Lu Mingming's back.
"But .....," Lu Mingming was about to speak, "no matter what, you have me." Besides, Lu Feng'er doesn't want her aunt to be hurt, right? I think this kind of emotion will definitely reach him. β
She also forgot where Ouyang Yingying learned this unfounded, but now it is suitable to apply it. Lu Mingming heard this, although her body was still trembling slightly, but at least she was comforted. So, she stood up with Ouyang Yingying's support.
"Let's go, teacher. She took Lu Mingming's hand, "Tell me how to go, I haven't been to his house yet!" Ouyang Yingying said softly to Lu Mingming.
'It's a shame, and I want the students to comfort me, butβokay, just indulge once.' Lu Mingming thought silently in her heart.
Walking through the familiar street, turning into the familiar intersection, a small, floor-to-ceiling building comes into view, with a little flowers and plants planted in it, everything is so familiar.
Suddenly, Lu Mingming was shocked, because she didn't know the three people who came out of the door, all three of them were wearing sunglasses, but the man who took the lead seemed to be their boss, and the other two should be bodyguards.
Although the two bodyguards were not short, they were still half a head behind the man who took the lead. Taking a closer look, Lu Mingming found that the man in the lead lowered his head slightly, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked a little gloomy.
Under the protection of two other people, he got into a black-faced sedan with a license plate number 00001. Seeing this, Lu Mingming had already guessed who it was.

Time goes back a few hours ago
"Xiaoyang, isn't there no signal over there?" asked a man with sunglasses on the other end of the phone in Principal Zhang's office.
"Dad, we're back!" Zhao Chengyang couldn't wait to call his father when he saw that there was a signal on his mobile phone.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Donglai stood up, his instinct telling him that something might be wrong.
"That's right, Dad, we have a missing person named Lu Feng'er here, and his disappearance has something to do with me........ Zhao Chengyang told his father what happened over there, Zhao Donglai was still sitting, and he stood up and paced back and forth as he listened.
"Okay, I know the matter, you can go back and rest when you get down, I'll take care of this matter. Zhao Donglai hung up the phone, his face covered with clouds, and sat down opposite Principal Zhang.
"What's wrong? What happened to Zhao boy?" Every time he sat opposite with this expression, it meant that something big had happened, which was the experience that Principal Zhang had summed up for many years. So he put down his teacup and asked.
Xiaoyang had a fight with a classmate named Lu Feng'er in their class, and he said that he pushed him into the well while he was unprepared, but the classmate disappeared mysteriously. Zhao Donglai frowned, bypassed the process, and directly focused on the key points.
"Lu Feng'er, I know, your kid had a conflict with him before, and let the kid from the Xiang family trouble him, but in the end, it was a mistake to steal chickens and rice. Principal Zhang also sat upright, his face was serious, and what happened was a little more than he expected.
"He's it, my kid said that Lu Feng'er hit him first, but I don't know what kind of virtue he is when I am a father?"
"I don't know, but their relationship is really not good, I've seen that young man, and I like it. I've also checked their affairs before, and it's true that your kid is not good first, and he is spoiled for you!" Principal Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
"I'm not spoiled, it's all my ......." Zhao Donglai was rarely impulsive, but he couldn't say it anymore halfway through, and shook his head.
"I wanted to call you over to talk about it, but I didn't expect you to suddenly work overtime, and then I was busy taking the college entrance examination for the children, and I didn't have time, so I forgot about it. Ay..... I didn't expect this to happen in the end. "Principal Zhang now thinks about it and regrets why he didn't stick to it in the first place.
"Let's talk about this later, now it's a matter of how to suppress this matter. "Things have happened, the previous things can be put aside first, and now the key is how to deal with it, Zhao Donglai's thinking has always been like this.
"What do you want to do?" Principal Zhang shook his head slightly when he saw this.
"Now Lu Feng'er is still missing, Xiao Yang said that before he pushed him down, people were fine, but after pushing him down, people disappeared? What is going on?" Zhao Donglai still felt incredulous, "There is no evidence to prove that Xiao Yang is a murder now, and it will be a long time after there is news depending on the situation." So I want to go to Lu Feng'er's parents first, calm them down, and then act at the opportunity. Zhao Donglai thought about the worst-case scenario first.
"Pacify, come east, remember not to bully the people too much!" Principal Zhang reminded.
"I know, I'm going to try to convince them. Zhao Donglai stood up, "But I only have such a son." When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said in a deep voice.
ββββββββββ
Not long after they came out of Principal Zhang's office, the car and bodyguards were already in place, driving them to Lu Fenger's house.
Lu Fenger's house is not very far from the school, and it will not take long to arrive.
"Ding-dong-"
"Who?" said a fifteen or sixteen-year-old head poked out from the second floor.
"Excuse me, is this Lu Feng'er's house?" Zhao Donglai raised his head and asked.
"Well, what's the matter with you?" Lu Huang'er looked at this person and felt unfamiliar, wearing sunglasses and looking like a big guy, she was secretly unhappy in her heart. So he crossed his hands on his hips and put on an old-fashioned autumn mark, hoping to overwhelm him with momentum.
"My name is Zhao Donglai, are your parents at home?" Zhao Donglai raised his head and smiled at the girl.
"Yes, I'll call them!" Lu Huang'er replied.
"Momβthere's a person named Zhao Dong looking for you outside!" The girl's youthful voice echoed in his ears, and his heart suddenly softened.
But suddenly, he remembered his Xiaoyang again, and couldn't help but clench his fists again.
