After Zhou Mingrui left, Mu Tang entered the guard room and called Qi Ran at the same time.

Qi Ran answered, his tone was as indifferent as usual, he couldn't tell if he was angry, only that he was already on the road, there was some traffic jam, and he might arrive later.

Mu Tang let out an "oh", thought about it, and told him about He Ji chasing that man.

Qi Ran was silent for a few seconds, "I know, don't worry, just stay honest and don't run around." ”

Mu Tang answered, and was about to hang up the phone, Qi Ran said in a low voice, "Tangbao, you have to be obedient." ”

Mu Tang was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement, but after hanging up the phone, he was always uneasy.

It had been ten minutes since He Ji left to chase the man.

Did you catch up?

She thought about it, and still called He Ji, but He Ji didn't answer!

Mu Tang frowned, watching the time pass minute by minute.

Qi Ran hadn't arrived yet, and He Ji hadn't come back, and she was getting more and more restless.

"When...... When ......"

The bell not far away suddenly rang, and Mu Tang almost jumped up.

She walked out of the guard room and looked towards the clock tower on the west side of the school, where the huge hand pointed to the center, and it was already twelve o'clock.

The heavy and deep bells echoed in the autumn wind, no more, no less, exactly twelve times, each of which seemed to hit Mu Tang's heart.

called Qi Ran again, and the prompt was during the call, and it was the case several times in a row.

Mu Tangxin was very panicked, it had been an hour, was he still stuck in traffic?

What made her even more uneasy was that there was no news from He Ji's side at all.

She put her mobile phone back in her pocket, asked the gatekeeper for paper and pen, left a note and handed it to the uncle, and asked him to give it to them if he saw Qi Ran or He Ji, and she herself went back to the school.

She kept reassuring herself that Qi Ran was still stuck in traffic, and He Ji might still be chasing that man.

The school is very safe, so don't be afraid.

But her messy heartbeat couldn't deceive herself, and she was terrified.

This fear is not that she is afraid that she will encounter danger, what she is afraid of is that Qi Ran or He Ji will encounter danger.

Mu Tang suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have listened to Qi Ran's words and insisted on coming to school.

She always knew that this case was very complicated, and the murderer behind it was very powerful and cunning, and she shouldn't have been so impulsive.

Mu Tang headed towards the office building.

It was already lunch time, and there were a lot of students coming and going, laughing and playing in groups.

Of course, they will also look at her with suspicion, jealousy, contempt, ridicule, and fear in their eyes.

Mu Tang's eyes were unwavering, and he turned a blind eye.

Teenage boys and girls, full of youth, the sun falls on them, they can't yet appreciate the complexity and darkness of this world.

She walked among them, rubbing shoulders with them, but it was as if she was in another space.

Her world, quiet, lonely.

She was the only one who didn't go on the same road.

She walked forward with a blank face, not uncomfortable, but very ...... I really want to Qi Ran.

Only by Qi Ran's side will she feel that she is still that ordinary girl.

There is no death, and there is no loneliness.

It took me a while to walk to the office building, and if memory serves, the teaching office was on the fifth floor.

As soon as I walked to the front of the office building, I saw Zhou Mingrui who went downstairs to the hall, and I was afraid that I was going to have lunch.

Mu Tang hurriedly stepped forward, but fortunately he didn't miss it.

"Director Zhou......"

As soon as he stepped into the building, there was a sudden muffled sound behind him, as if something had landed.

What followed was a myriad of piercing screams—
