“He feels that there’s something strange about this matter and knows that you helped handle the Mountain God incident in the past, so he called me. He asked me to find you and request your help to figure out what’s going on.” This is probably the deep-rooted reverence for metaphysics in Chinese people and also the only way to handle such situations. After all, if this matter spreads, it will have a significant impact on the school, even affecting next year’s enrollment.

Lu Miao sighed. “Understood. I’ll take a taxi there myself later.”

“Ahem, I’m actually waiting downstairs at your hotel. When you come down, I’ll accompany you,” Fu Jingshen said somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Miao was speechless and hung up the phone.

After getting up and freshening up, she went downstairs and indeed saw Fu Jingshen’s car waiting outside the door.

As she got into the car, he immediately handed her a cup of hot soy milk and a bag of fried dough sticks. “I rushed here, so have these to tide you over for now. ”

Lu Miao reached out and accepted them, acknowledging that he had some conscience.

The hotel they were staying at wasn’t far from Peking University to begin with. Fu Jingshen quickly drove them to the entrance of the school.

Due to the consecutive student disappearances, the entrance to the campus had been sealed off.

After Fu Jingshen communicated with the guards at the gate, they were allowed in.

It was still early, and a thin layer of mist hung over the campus in the morning.

Students were gradually waking up, and there were scattered individuals rushing to the classrooms. Each one seemed hurried and nervous, clearly uneasy about the recent disappearances.

At every intersection, police officers and school security personnel could be seen searching for someone.

The car stopped not far from the edge of Weiming Lake.

The two of them got out of the car and walked toward the lake.

Principal Chen, the principal of Peking University, and Principal Tian, the principal of Fengcheng No.l High School, anxiously stood by the lake. When they saw Lu Miao approaching, they immediately came over to greet her.

Lu Miao leisurely finished the last sip of soy milk and put the cup in her bag, handing it to Fu Jingshen.

Fu Jingshen helplessly smiled and accepted it. Only Lu Miao didn’t care about his status and dared to order him to throw away the garbage.o

Principal Tian, upon seeing Lu Miao, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is it you?”

Principal Chen turned to look at him. “Do you know her?”

Tian nodded. “This is Lu Miao from Zhenhai High School, the champion of the

Triwizard Battle and a participant in the current Knowledge Competition.”

He had a deep impression of Lu Miao’s extraordinary abilities during the Triwizard Battle, coupled with Principal Xu constantly mentioning her, making it difficult for him not to recognize her.o

Lu Miao exchanged greetings with the two principals.

So, it was Lu Miao!

Principal Chen had heard of this genius who recently rose to prominence.

Suppressing his desire to immediately recruit her into the school, he briefed

her on the situation.

“Yesterday, Wang Qi and Principal Tian were looking for Yu Liang together at the school. Around eleven in the evening, Principal Tian couldn’t reach her by phone and immediately started searching. Someone saw her last near the lake.”

Lu Miao looked at the calm lake in front of her. “Have you searched the lake?”

“The deepest part of the lake is only two meters, and we have used sonar to search it multiple times these past two days. People have even gone underwater to search. We can confirm that they’re not there,” Principal Chen replied.

Principal Tian couldn’t help but anxiously interject, “Lu Miao, can you predict where he is right now?

Lu Miao walked up to the lake and squatted down, running her hand through the water. “They are still on campus, in the area where the lake is.”

“In… the area where the lake is?” Principal Tian’s face instantly changed, and he stumbled, nearly losing his balance. “Then… where are they now?”

Both of these students were from their school, and he personally brought them out. If something really happened to them, how could he explain it to their parents?

“They’re alive,” Lu Miao said directly.

“Are… are you sure?” Principal Tian found it hard to believe. “It sounds contradictory to say they’re in the lake and still alive.”

Lu Miao calmly spoke, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone else you trust for help.”

Principal Chen quickly intervened, trying to mediate. “Lu Miao, he didn’t mean it that way. Both of them are his students, and he’s just very anxious, hoping that you won’t mind.”

“What about the shoe that Yu Liang left behind?” Lu Miao asked.

“It’s with the police,” Principal Chen replied.

Lu Miao squinted at the lake in front of her. “There’s no need to search anymore. Tell the people from the school who are looking for them to leave. Say that they’ve already been found.”

Principal Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked, “But the students haven’t been found yet. Are you sure it’s okay to call off the search?”

After all, the students disappeared at his school, and he bore the greatest responsibility here.

“At midnight tonight, come here to find me, and I’ll hand them over to you,” Lu Miao stated directly.

Seeing her confident demeanor, Principal Chen looked at Fu Jingshen.

“Rest assured, Mr. Chen. If she says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay,” Fu Jingshen affirmed.

After a brief pause, Principal Chen gritted his teeth and made a call to have all the search parties withdrawn. He also had the school’s publicity department issue a notice stating that the students had been found.

The sky was getting brighter and the morning mist had dispersed. The campus gradually became lively.

Lu Miao said goodbye to the two headmasters and left.

After getting into the car, Fu Jingshen looked at her curiously while driving.

“You know where they are?”

“I don’t know.” Lu Miao shrugged.

Fu Jingshen almost vomited blood.” Are you trying to trick me on purpose?”

He had repeatedly promised Principal Chen that there would be no problem. If he couldn’t find him, Elder Chen could get his grandfather to tear him apart. Lu Miao said slowly,” Although I don’t know where exactly it is, I can find it.”

“How?” Fu Jingshen immediately asked.

Lu Miao stretched out her hand.” Ten million.”

Fu Jingshen’s lips twitched.” You’re earning my money. Are you embarrassed?” “I was woken un bv vou earlv in the morning. Why would I be embarrassed to

earn money with my own hard work?”Lu Miao said matter-of-factly.

“Five million.” Fu Jingshen bargained with his soul.

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows and gave 15 million.”

pfft! Fu Jingshen’s heart spurted out a mouthful of blood. Why was it getting more and more expensive!

He said unhappily,” How can you be like this?””

“Twenty million. ”

What kind of profiteer was this!

“Stop! Ten million it is!”

Fu Jingshen was so busy that he stopped himself. He couldn’t resist his curiosity and took out his phone to transfer the money to her.” Alright, can you tell me where they are now?”

Lu Miao looked at the message with satisfaction.” Go to the police station and get the shoe that Yu Liang left behind. Come and pick me up tonight. I’ll take you to find it.””

After sending Lu Miao back to the hotel, Fu Jingshen went straight to the police station to coordinate the collection of the shoes.

Lu Miao went upstairs and walked out of the elevator. Before she could return to her room, she saw a large group of people gathered at the door of her room.

What was going on?

She walked forward curiously and squeezed into the crowd to look inside..
