1627 Give A Warning
“The school is checking the surveillance, and they don’t know who the culprit is yet.” Huo Yao picked up the water bottle from the table, opened it, and took a sip.
Wen Ping frowned. “We’ll probably have a lot of trouble finding the perpetrator.”
Since the culprit was able to do this during the academic conference, he must have covered his tracks well.
“Fortunately, we were still able to use the files. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing for our school.” Li Chenhui sighed.
Huo Yao raised her brow and said, “Accidents happen, right? Anyway, you still did very well earlier.”
“Sigh. My hands were covered with cold sweat throughout the presentation.” Li Chenhui had yet to recover from the incident.
He had never encountered such an incident in his life.
“It’ll be fine once you get used to it,” said Huo Yao casually.
Li Chenhui felt as though he was now suffering from severe social disorder phobia. He shook his head in fear. “No, thanks. From now on, I’m never going to attend conferences. I nearly had a heart attack.”
“Useless.” Wen Ping glanced at Li Chenhui in disdain.
Before long, the students from the Math department went onto the stage to present.
Huo Yao glanced at Ji Ya and the others on the stage and veered her eyes. She proceeded to take out her phone.
Her phone had vibrated a couple of times earlier, but she did not have the time to check it.
The cop from the police station had texted her. Lu Xia disappeared from the hospital yesterday. People were sent to find her but to no avail.
Huo Yao rubbed her screen as she pondered. Once she was done, she texted the cop telling him that she would no longer continue to charge Lu Xia.
Just as she was about to put away her phone, a text notification popped up on her screen.
It was a text message from Uncle Changfeng.
[What time do you finish in the morning? I happen to be on campus.]
Ever since Huo Changfeng heard a few things from Lu Xia, he felt worried about Sirin University.
Even though Lu Xia’s teacher now knew that the Huo family was involved, he knew those people were crazy about research and could resort to anything. Today, he decided to come to school using sponsorship as a cover.
Huo Yao was caught by surprise. She pondered and replied: [Roughly by 11:30 am.]
Huo Changfeng sat on the couch with the chancellor sitting across from him, but he was not listening at all. Instead, he replied to Huo Yao’s text and raised his head. “The lab building project looks good and money is not a problem.”
The smile on the chancellor’s face deepened. Even though the man looked scary, he was here to offer sponsorship.
Huo Changfeng nodded gently. He paused before he placed the cigar in his hands on the ashtray. “I hear that one of your students went crazy.”
The chancellor felt puzzled and surprised the moment he brought up the subject.
After all, news about the student who went crazy only got out yesterday afternoon and the incident was still under investigation.
“I think it was probably just a misunderstanding.” The chancellor did not know where Huo Changfeng was going with the subject. He could only give ambiguous answers cautiously.
Huo Changfeng spun his phone gently. After some time, when the chancellor was about to lose his composure, he said, “You should pay more attention to people who threaten the students’ safety.”
As he spoke, Huo Changfeng looked at him solemnly.
The chancellor held his breath overwhelmed by Huo Changfeng’s intimidating aura. When he snapped out of it, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Huo, you’re right. We should improve our security.”
It finally dawned on the chancellor what he was doing here.
The sponsorship was secondary. Instead, he was here to warn them.
