At 9 o'clock in the evening, the door of Room 115 was roughly pushed open, and Feng Jia stood angrily in front of Ling Lan, "Ling Lan, I warn you, don't interfere with things that are none of your business! Our eyes are on our own face, we see what we want to see, we don't see what we don't want to see, it's not for you to worry about!"

  As they spoke, Yue Tong also gave Ling Lan a few white eyes. "Ling Lan, please don't spout nonsense in front of the police. With so many eyes watching in school, being taken away by a police car under everyone's gaze is not a good look."

  Ling Lan's good temper was thrown to one side as she retorted, "I'm not stirring up trouble for no reason. I heard you, Yue Tong, say 'fortunately Ling Lan didn't see'. Doesn't that prove that at the time, you two saw something that I didn't? And Meng Yu Si is still missing to this day, yet you two are laughing and chatting as if nothing's wrong. How dare you say you're not hiding anything? What exactly are you two plotting behind my back?"

  Feng Jia and Yue Tong were both stunned, Yue Tong wanted to say something, but Feng Jia shook her head at her, "Forget it, forget it, I've been busy all day, I'm tired. Ling Lan, the only thing I can tell you is that Meng Yu Si is very safe, whether you believe it or not."

  That night, Linglan was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She really wanted to call Gu Hanhao to ask if he had personally asked Yue Tong and Feng Jia about the crime scene that night, and if he had found out any clues. However, it was already 1 am, and making a phone call at this hour would be quite impolite.

  "Ling Lan, I know you're not asleep. I'm waiting for you in the corridor." Yue Tong's voice was as soft as a whisper, it was clear that she didn't want Feng Jia to hear this sentence.

  Ling Lan quietly got out of bed and followed Yue Tang to the corridor, she was somewhat excited, apparently Yue Tang wanted to reveal some inside information to her.

  As expected, Yue Tong's first sentence almost made her bite her tongue, "Ling Lan, we really found a vampire."

  It was a text message ringtone on her mobile phone that woke Linglan up early in the morning. She overslept again, and had no choice but to listen to Yue Tong's words last night, which were like swallowing a small bun whole, digesting her words took Linglan the entire night, until the sky gradually brightened, she barely closed her eyes.

  At this moment, Ling Lan opened the short message with some swollen eyes. The text message was sent by Yue Tong, meaning that she and Feng Jia had finished breakfast and were on their way to the department head's house. They would gather at 9 o'clock in front of the department head's building and then go up together. Don't forget to buy some fruit.

  Ling Lan glanced at the time, it was already past 8:30, she didn't have time to eat breakfast anymore. After getting out of bed, she rushed to the bathroom to wash up, and when she came back, she only then discovered that there was a cup of milk on the table. Ling Lan's heart felt a wave of warmth, although she couldn't agree with Yue Tong's words from last night, but this kind intention really made her feel comforted.

  Ling Lan finished drinking two bottles of milk and stuffed half a pack of cookies into her pocket before running to the bus stop at the school gate.

  She squeezed onto the bus, and after three or four stops, Ling Lan realized that she was not just uncomfortable due to drinking milk on an empty stomach, but was actually experiencing severe abdominal pain. Ling Lan clutched her abdomen and bent over, her face twisted in agony. A middle-aged man voluntarily gave up his seat to her, while several young commuters suggested calling for a taxi to take her to the hospital immediately.

  Ling Lan simply waved her hand to decline their proposal, "It's okay, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I'll go to the hospital after I'm done."

  As expected, after getting off the car and breathing in some fresh air, Ling Lan felt a bit more comfortable. From afar, she saw Yue Tang and Feng Jia waving at her, so she wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurried over with soft footsteps.

  "You're late." Feng Jia was somewhat annoyed. "Why didn't you buy fruit? Never mind, never mind, go up, Teacher Wang has probably started sweeping already."

  Yue Tong noticed Ling Lan's discomfort and his concerned gaze kept circling around her, "Didn't eat anything this morning, right? Is it because of irregular eating habits these past few days, stomach not feeling well?"

  "Right, thanks for your bull..." Before Ling Lan could finish speaking, a rough force from behind pushed her into the elevator.

  There were about seven or eight people who got into the elevator together. Ling Lan gave a cold glance to the heavily made-up young woman who had just pushed her from behind and was now standing on her left side, just as she was about to speak again about the milk, but was interrupted once more by that woman.

  "Oh no, where's my phone? It must have been stolen by someone when we just got on the elevator!" The woman's shrill voice bounced back and forth in the cramped space, everyone looked uncomfortable, two middle-aged women even hastily checked their belongings to see if they had been stolen, as if a professional pickpocket had snuck into the elevator.

  "You, it must be you. When you just got into the elevator, you were hunching over and acting suspiciously. Hand over my phone."

  Ling Lan never thought she would be mistaken for a thief, she was only bending over because of abdominal pain, besides, what did she look like a thief!

  Ling Lan didn't have the energy to explain, so she simply ignored the woman. However, the woman suddenly snatched Ling Lan's backpack and during the tug-of-war, the backpack fell to the ground, and surprisingly, two mobile phones rolled out!

  "Ah, it's really you! Everyone look, this is my phone, she's a thief! Come on, let's go to the police station!" The heavily made-up woman refused to let go, tightly grasping Ling Lan's arm.

  The elevator had just reached the 10th floor when a heavily made-up woman dragged Ling Lan out of the elevator, "Come on, let's go to the police station!"

  As the elevator doors were about to close, Ling Lan was like a helpless mess, unable to do anything but be manipulated by that woman. She wanted to defend herself, but a wave of intense pain interrupted her. All she could do was watch as her two roommates and everyone else in the elevator looked at her with disdain and contempt.

  In the midst of pulling and tugging, Ling Lan was still dragged downstairs by the heavily made-up woman. "I told you to stop this act, thinking of faking illness? You're caught red-handed, no room for denial! Follow me!"

  Ling Lan had long felt that something was off, and it wasn't until now that she finally reacted from the intense pain. The woman in front of her didn't seem right! "Nine Grades Literature welcomes you. You can enter this site by searching 'Nine Grades Literature' on any search engine.

But she hadn't even found a witness, and her phone was currently tightly grasped in her hand - where was the "catching the thief"? What was her goal? And that suspicious cup of milk, it didn't seem to be from Yue Tong's hands?

  "Who are you?" Ling Lan's stuttering words had just left her mouth when a loud explosion was heard, followed by the sound of heavy objects continuously crashing to the ground.

  The heavily made-up woman beside Ling Lan was attracted by the loud noise and rushed to the side of the high-rise building. Ling Lan also hurried over with heavy footsteps. Finally, she saw from a distance several fires, and passersby were taking off their clothes to put out the fire. The one putting out the fire was a man, next to him was an old lady shouting for help, and a middle-aged man making a phone call. A middle-aged woman passing by covered the eyes of a teenager beside her, only these people were present.

  Ling Lan made another effort to search around, where was the shadow of that heavily made-up woman just now? Didn't she come to watch the excitement? Where is she?

  Ling Lan reluctantly looked up and saw that it was the second-to-last floor, the 18th floor, which was exactly where Director Wang's family lived!
