Chapter 79: The Turbulent C City

  "You're all useless! Can't you find a living person? Did she grow wings and fly away? If you can't find her again, then don't come back to see me!"

  Jiao Ba yelled at his subordinates in a fit of rage, his temper was notoriously short. He slammed his hand on the table, knocking over cups and sending them crashing to the floor. The people who had returned to report the news quickly retreated out the door, continuing their search for Jiao Rou's whereabouts. The entire city was in chaos, with people rushing back and forth through the streets, while the police department closely monitored their every move from behind the scenes. This scene was unprecedented, and at this moment, Jiao Ba was extremely anxious. His daughter had still not been found, despite him sending people to search the entire city.

  "Daughter, you mustn't have an accident! Otherwise I'll lose face in front of your mother!"

  Jing Bo muttered to himself and walked to the window, looking out into the distance. Jing Bo was very protective of Jing Rou. Years ago, he had ignored his wife's advice and taken a path from which he could not return. Because he had offended too many people on this path, one day when his wife was about to give birth to Jing Rou, his enemies suddenly came to take revenge. When his wife had just given birth to Jing Rou, his enemies broke in and brutally killed his wife. As she lay dying, she asked Jing Bo to wash his hands of the world, and Jing Bo, filled with sorrow and resentment, agreed. Over the years, he had watched his daughter grow up safely into a young woman, but unexpectedly, today his beloved daughter had mysteriously disappeared, making Jing Bo very worried. He suspected that his enemies were coming after him again, and all he could hope was that his daughter was safe. If anything happened to her, he would surely unleash another bloodbath in C City!

  In a poor village in City C, Chen Peng put the unconscious Ruo Yu on his bed and patiently waited for her to wake up. Sitting beside the bed, Chen Peng looked at her sleeping face and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He knew he had really fallen in love with this teacher who was usually fierce towards him. He helplessly shook his head, thinking it must be a debt from their past lives. Looking at her peaceful sleep, Chen Peng wanted to reach out and gently stroke her bangs. Just as his hand touched Ruo Yu's forehead...

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Ruo Yu suddenly coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she saw someone sitting beside her, she was terrified and sat up in bed, immediately burying her head and pummeling Chen Peng with both hands. Chen Peng hadn't had time to explain when he was suddenly subjected to Ruo Yu's pummeling, which made him very depressed.

  "Don't come over! Don't come over!"

  Jing Rou was frantically pounding her hands and shouting loudly. It seemed she had mistaken Chen Peng as a bad person, and Chen Peng was amused by her reaction, watching her with a playful gaze. He didn't say a word, but instead fixed his eyes on Jing Rou's actions, enjoying the way she was getting worked up. After Jing Rou had been pounding and shouting for a while, she felt something was off when she didn't get any reaction from Chen Peng. She slowly lifted her head to take a closer look at the culprit, but as soon as she did, she was stunned. All she saw was Chen Peng's mischievous smile, and Jing Rou's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't understand why Chen Peng was standing in front of her - didn't she remember being kidnapped by a group of masked men? Why was she waking up to see her student instead? She thought she must be dreaming, so she pinched her own cheek hard, the pain confirming that she wasn't dreaming after all.

  "Hey! Teacher Jiang, are you done being crazy yet? If you're done, would you please leave our house quickly?"

  Chen Peng looked at the silly-looking Rong Rou and found it very funny, but to cover up his expression, he pretended to be calm. He knew that Rong Rou would definitely ask him something, and for him, he didn't want to waste so much saliva talking to her! Now the best thing was to get rid of her.

  "What? Chen Pengpeng, is this your home? How did I end up in your home?"

  Jingyu looked at Chen Peng with a puzzled face. She didn't understand what had happened, and now she just felt that her head was a bit sore. As for being taken away by the masked man, she couldn't remember it at all.

  "Ah! This is our home, don't ask why, I'll tell you the truth, today I skipped class, and when I was on my way back home, I saw you fainting on the road for no reason, so I carried you back!"

  Chen Peng didn't want to get entangled with Ruo Rou anymore, so he made up a lie to deceive her. He absolutely couldn't tell Ruo Rou the truth, or else he would be completely exposed. That was the outcome he least wanted to see; once he was exposed in this mundane world, he wouldn't be able to stay here either.

  "What? I fainted on the road? Zhenpeng, you didn't deceive me at all?"

  Jian Ruo's face showed disbelief at Chen Peng's words, but she couldn't find any evidence to prove that he was lying. Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on, it's just that she didn't have a basis for it.

  "Yes! Teacher, you don't believe me and there's nothing I can do about it! Oh, right, the whole city of C is looking for your whereabouts now! You'd better hurry back to school! I won't go to school this afternoon, I'll review at my own home!"

  Chen Peng pretended to be nonchalant. He knew that as long as he acted naturally, Ruo Yu wouldn't suspect anything. As long as he could get through this, he would be able to rest easy afterwards. For Chen Peng, acting was his trump card, and deceiving Ruo Yu was a piece of cake. If he couldn't even deceive her, how could he deceive other girls in the future?

  "Ah! Is that really true? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

  Jingyu suddenly let out a loud cry and jumped up from the bed, hastily putting on her shoes. She glared at Chen Peng with a fierce expression before rushing out of the room. Chen Peng couldn't help but burst out laughing at her hurried state. Just as he was still chuckling, a fierce face suddenly reappeared in front of him - it was Jingyu, who had just run back into the room. It turned out that Jingyu had rushed back to tell Chen Peng to go to school with her.

  "Haha, Teacher Jiang, why have you come back again? Can't bear to part with me?"

  Chen Peng's face turned red with anger. He knew his class teacher must have come to take him back to school, but how could he go back with her? He knew that once he got to school, Zhou Xiaofeng would definitely keep asking him questions nonstop, and he was not willing to go at all!

  "Stop being so arrogant! Let's put today's matter aside for now, don't think you can get away with it! Get up right now and follow me! The college entrance exam is in two days, you must go to school!"

  When Ruo saw Chen's shameless expression, her stomach was burning with anger. She had no way to deal with this student, but she had a feeling towards him that she couldn't express, a feeling of both love and hate! This conflicting heart had been troubling her for a long time.

  "Haha, I told you, teacher, I won't go to school. No matter how you call me, it's useless! If you don't return to school, I'm sure those police will go crazy!"

  Chen Peng didn't dare to meet Jian Ruo's murderous gaze, and he was lying if he said he wasn't afraid. For the past three years in high school, he had been on his guard against this ferocious teacher who was like a tigress, and he couldn't wait to escape!

  "You! You! Good for you, Chen Pengpeng, you really make me angry! Tomorrow when you come to school, you'll be in trouble! Wait for me!"

  Jiang Rou saw that her intimidation didn't work, so she stomped her feet in anger and stormed out. Chen Pengpeng let out a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Rou really leave. Maybe tomorrow would be the start of a miserable fate, but with the college entrance exams approaching, it was just two more days. He wasn't afraid at all. Thinking this, Chen Pengpeng felt a wave of comfort and finally left the place where he had grown up.

  "Lao Da, come out! Now quickly help me secretly protect that female teacher from just now! And, unexpectedly your house repair skills are so good! You've actually fixed up this broken-down house so well, tonight when mom comes back her anger will definitely be reduced a lot."

  Chen Pengpeng suddenly said a sentence to the air. Only to see 'whoosh' two sounds, Leng Qing appeared in front of him. When Chen Pengpeng brought Ruo Rou back, he ordered Leng Qing to stand guard outside. If there's any situation, kill on the spot!

  "Alright! I'm going now!"

  Leng Qing simply said that the message was already in place. Chen Pengpeng saw Leng Qing's message and nodded his head in relief, knowing that after Leng Qing cultivated that divine technique, his abilities had increased significantly.

  In C City, the campus of Zhugen High School was in chaos. The reason was that Principal Wee had gone mad, and students were all shocked by the many things that happened within a single morning. From the kidnapping of teacher Ms. Qing to Principal Wee's sudden madness without any reason, it left students feeling puzzled. Gossip spread quickly throughout the school. This is what happened: when the police informed Principal Wee over the phone about his son, Urine Bei, being killed at Guihai Hotel, he started going mad, unable to accept the fact of his son's death and completely collapsing mentally into a madman.

  "Hey, did you guys know the principal went crazy?"

  A gossiping girl leaned on her desk, talking to a group of people. It seemed she had forgotten that the college entrance exam was in two days and didn't even review, starting her gossip news. As soon as she spoke, another group of students who were studying nearby immediately gathered around.

  "But, we've known for a long time that you still don't know why Principal Urine went crazy, right? When I just arrived at the office, I heard the teachers talking about how Principal Urine's son was killed by someone, and Principal Urine couldn't take the blow and went crazy!"

  Another student chimed in. As if boasting that this discovery was his greatest news, after a while, more people gathered around to listen to him.

  "Really? The teacher of Urinai Osamu has died?"

  A student full of questions asked again.

  "It's not like that, you don't know..."

  .......

  Nowadays, Zhugeng High School has forgotten the existence of the college entrance examination, and some are just out of curiosity. At this time, the police dispatched personnel to comfort the students in order to control the students' order and let them welcome the college entrance examination with peace of mind. This matter came so suddenly that it suddenly made Zhugeng High School a mess.
