Chapter 81: Stay Calm
Cui Yan was really taken aback in the face of Shen Yuanyuan's idea of calling the police, although he was also worried about Zhou Minggao, but after all, it was a boy in his twenties, and he had been missing for less than 24 hours now, it is an exaggeration to say that calling the police, it is estimated that the police will not accept it. He felt that Shen Yuanyu was too nervous, so he comforted her and said, "Let's wait and see." ”
Shen Yuan sighed, but he didn't continue to insist on calling the police as Cui Yan thought.
She is still sensible, and she knows in her heart that it probably won't work to call the police at this time.
That night, Shen Yuan had no sleep all night, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. She hid in the quilt and cried secretly, and was worried that she would make noise to Shen Jiayi and Yang Kexin, so she kept her voice down and didn't dare to make a sound. The curtains in the dormitory were thin, and the summer day was early in the summer, but at five o'clock, the light through the curtains illuminated her sleepiness even more without a trace.
The next day, she was still ready to ask for leave, and Tu Yang Kexin helped to tell the teacher that she was not well. Shen Yuanyuan, who hadn't slept all night, looked really bad, Yang Kexin thought she was really sick, looking at her like this, she was inevitably a little worried, and asked if she needed to go to the hospital, she shook her head and said no.
- It's really uncomfortable to deceive people, but she doesn't really want to mention Zhou Minggao's "disappearance" to too many people, if one less person knows, one less person will know.
Cui Yan didn't go to class again, and he didn't skip class again today, but also said that he was sick and took leave. They chose to meet outside the school this time, and this time, Cui Yan accepted Shen's proposal to call the police.
"It's been more than 24 hours, or I'll really call the police." "Don't have any accidents," he said. ”
Shen Yu let out a "hmm", did not say anything to complain, and did not act too depressed. She knew that what she had to do now was to find Zhou Minggao, instead of blindly venting her emotions and sentimentality.
Zhou Minggao said that no matter what happens, think about what to do and how to deal with it first, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, and not thinking about "why, why".
There is no reason, whoever the bad thing falls on, that is whose business. Now it had fallen to her, so she forced herself to think calmly.
The two took a ride to a nearby police station, and it was a young policeman who looked young to hear their report. After listening to their narration, the little policeman was not in a hurry at all, and drank tea slowly. Shen Yuanyuan finally couldn't bear to ask, "Can I file a case?" ”
He put down the teacup and spit out two words, "No." ”
Feeling this person's carelessness, Cui Yan's anger suddenly came up. But knowing that it was not good to publicize it here, he still tried to ask patiently, "Why not?" I've been missing for twenty-four hours, why not? ”
"You say he's been missing for twenty-four hours, so where did that start with his disappearance? Also, he's a strong young man in his twenties, can he be tied up or something? I know what you're worried about, worried about accidents like car accidents, aren't you? Don't worry, if there is such a thing in this area, we will know it immediately. It's calm, nothing happens. After saying this, his gaze moved to Shen Yuanxuan, "Maybe he hid by himself, and his feelings were frustrated or something, do you say it?" ”
Shen Yuanyuan knew that his words were aimed at her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Cui Yan asked again, "Then the other person is gone, what should we do?" ”
"So be it." The little cop picked up the teacup again. "From now on, he won't be seen in another twenty-four hours, I'll report it to you and consider filing a case."
The words "report" and "consider" fell on Shen Yuan's ears, which made her very uncomfortable. She knew that it basically meant no play.
Disappointed to leave the police station, the two had to start thinking of other options.
"We can't file a case yet, so let's go to the school." Shen Yuanyuan said, "The school is most afraid that something will happen to the student, so it will not ignore it." Also, we can help Zhou Minggao communicate with his instructor, otherwise he will be absent from school for two days in a row, which will be a serious matter. ”
Cui Yan felt that she had a point, and nodded in agreement.
Back at the school, they went directly to meet Zhou Minggao's counselor and the head of the Department of Materials Chemistry. After repeatedly confirming that the situation was true, both the instructor and the director said that they would pay attention to it. The instructor first contacted Zhou Minggao's parents, and after Zhou Weihai and Cao Yun heard what happened, they said that they would rush to Province A as soon as possible.
After talking to the parents on the phone, the counselor's eyes fell on Shen Yuanyuan.
She said, "I seem to have seen you, and I have a little impression." You're Zhou Minggao's girlfriend, right? ”
Shen Yuanyuan was still very afraid of the teacher, and after repeatedly telling herself in her heart, "I'm an adult, I'm an adult", she nodded heavily and said "um".
The counselor said again. "You guys haven't had any trouble lately, have you? Will his disappearance be ......?"
Shen Yuanyuan knew that the counselor's conjecture was consistent with that policeman, indeed, a student of this age suddenly disappeared, and it was his girlfriend looking for him everywhere, and it was normal for everyone to think that he couldn't think about it because of emotional matters. But Shen Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Minggao wouldn't.
Let's not say that he is not a person of that character, even if he is, it is clear that they have just turned from bad to good, no matter what, he has no reason not to think of at this time.
Shen replied, "Teacher, I understand what you mean, it's not like this, if it's just a trivial matter between us, I can't call the police and trouble you again." ”
Feeling that Shen Yuanyuan was reasonable, the counselor nodded. "Okay, you two should go back to your own academy first, and when Zhou Minggao's parents arrive, I will discuss with them."
Cui Yan and Shen Yuanyuan said together, "Thank you, teacher." He walked out of the office.
That night, Zhou Weihai and Cao Yun rushed to Province A. Because it was already evening when they arrived, Shen Yuanyuan and Cui Yan had no classes, so they also followed them to Counselor Zhou Minggao's office together. As soon as Cao Yun saw Shen Yuan, she couldn't hold back her emotions and began to cry, and asked her if Zhou Minggao would be fine.
Shen Yuanyuan had no choice but to comfort her and say to her, "Auntie, calm down first, you will definitely be fine." ”
But in reality, where can she be sure?
The nightmares that had appeared so many times shone into reality, like ten thousand vines rising from the abyss dragging her, falling, falling, falling into endless fear and darkness. The nightmare that had woken her up countless times had become a reality that she couldn't wake up or jump out of no matter how much she opened her eyes, and she was more afraid than everyone present.
No one is more afraid than she is.
However, at this time, she had nothing to do but stay calm.
