Half an hour later, the car stopped in the school’s parking lot. Xiao Shan, Captain Chen, and Wu Haoming looked at each other and said stiffly, “Director Feng, we’re here!”
Feng Yuanlin got out of the car first, followed by Chi Shuyan. The three of them, on the other hand, were slower to move, and stared strangely at Director Feng and the young lady in front of them.
Because they had let the school know beforehand, several of the school leaders were present. One of them was Xiao Yang, the class teacher for Year 2 Class 9. Three of the students involved in mishaps were from Class 9, and two of the other students were from Class 10. The class teacher for Class 10 was also supposed to be here, but unfortunately, that girl from Class 10 had been gutted in the middle of the night at the hospital. The class teacher of Class 10 was “lucky” enough to see it, and it had been too much for her; she was still at the hospital.
When the leaders and Xiao Yang saw Feng Yuanlin and the others, they were quite excited. “Director Feng, you’re finally here!”
Before Director Feng came, they already had some understanding of him. He had just been transferred from Fuzhou and was very capable. At that moment, the leaders and class teacher Xiao Yang of Class 9 hoped that these people in front of them would quickly resolve this matter.
A few of their students had run into strange mishaps, each one more tragic than the last. Even though the school had subconsciously kept quiet about it, many parents and students still found out.
Not to mention, a student had suddenly jumped off the teaching building during school hours, which alarmed almost all the teachers and students in the school. How could word not spread?
Because of these things, the atmosphere in the school had hit rock bottom these days. Not only were the students and teachers scared, they were also afraid of encountering this strange thing. Originally, No. 5 Junior High was a key high school, and the number of students who were admitted to famous universities every year was very good.
Every year, people would fight to get a place here, and no one would transfer out. Ever since this happened, however, many parents wanted to transfer their children out, including many top students. The teachers in the school felt pained when they heard this.
Moreover, if this matter continued to develop, it would be bad for the school’s reputation.
The school did try to keep the matter quiet at first, but as one student after another died mysteriously, how could the school dare keep mum? They couldn’t wait for the police to resolve it immediately.
Some of the class teachers vaguely felt that it was useless even if the police came, yet they still had hope.
For the sake of the school’s reputation, the school had tried to keep things quiet. It was only when three students inexplicably died one after another that they realized that they couldn’t hide the truth, so they called the police. Now that Director Feng and the others were staring at them, they felt very guilty.
Feng Yuanlin naturally knew some of the unspoken rules of the school, and knew that these teachers, and the school leaders in particular, valued the school’s reputation more than anything else.
Although he understood to some extent why the school teachers had kept their mouths and not called the police in time for the sake of the school’s reputation, he couldn’t agree with it. His face was expressionless and even a bit cold. Captain Chen and the others next to him also didn’t have a good impression of the sanctimonious leaders in front of them.
If the school had called the police earlier, they might have been able to save a few lives.
The leaders also looked troubled and explained, “Director Feng, we really had no choice about keeping things quiet earlier. We didn’t expect it to become so serious. When something first happened, we did keep quiet for the sake of the school’s reputation, but we were also afraid that it would affect the other children’s studies. After all, No. 5 Junior High is a key high school. We also have to be responsible for the future of the other students, right?”
Feng Yuanlin knew that now wasn’t the time to look into who was right and who was wrong, but to quickly resolve this matter. He said, “I’ve learned about the strange ways in which the students died, but I don’t know the exact course of events. Can anyone explain what happened?”
