When Li Shen said this, he looked a little depressed. He had never encountered such a thing in his life as a student. After the period of time where the students of Class Eight had worked hard to study and improve together, Meng Ran and Zhang Qi had long been considered good friends of his. Now that his good friends had been wronged, he could not do anything and had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Mo Zhu tidied up the information that Li Shen and Liu Yuan had said just now. Now, she completely understood what had happened to Meng Ran and Zhang Qi. She changed the topic and said, “Where’s Jiang Xun? Where did he go?”
Li Shen looked up at Mo Zhu and replied softly, “When they were in trouble, Jiang Xun was quite angry. He immediately wanted to bring people to seek justice. His father was afraid that he would be rash and kept him at home, so Jiang Xun hasn’t returned to class until now.”
Mo Zhu nodded. If it was really as Li Shen had said, then the reason Uncle Jiang had kidnapped Jiang Xun was definitely because he was afraid of the power behind that young lady. A family that could make Uncle Jiang retreat really couldn’t be underestimated!
Mo Zhu stood rooted to the ground and rubbed her palms. After a while, she looked up at Li Shen and instructed, “Go to the canteen and buy more dishes. Wait for me at the school gate. I’ll go to the principal’s office. Then, the two of you will go to the hospital with me to visit Meng Ran and Zhang Qi.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu ignored the two of them and walked straight to the principal’s office downstairs. Liu Yuan stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds and turned to look at Li Shen. He said, “Are we really going to see them? Didn’t Xing Meng say that day that if anyone wants to…”
Before Liu Yuan could finish, Li Shen raised his hand and interrupted him. “No matter what Xing Meng says, I will listen to Sister Mo. If Sister Mo wants me to buy food, I will. I believe Sister Mo. As long as she is here, that young lady won’t be able to cause trouble!”
When Liu Yuan and Li Shen went to the canteen to buy food, Mo Zhu had already arrived at the principal’s office.
Before pushing the door open and entering, she called Mo Wu in advance and asked him to prepare a set of silver needles and wait at the entrance of Jingyang High School.
As Mo Zhu had expected, Elder Xu was alone in the office. He was sitting at his desk with a frown, reading a few thick documents.
Seeing Mo Zhu enter, he nodded in understanding and signaled the girl to take a seat on the chair in front of his desk.
Mo Zhu did not hesitate. She immediately took two steps forward and sat down straight. Then, she asked bluntly, “Elder Xu, you should know why I’m here.”
Elder Xu stood up from his desk and filled a cup of tea for Mo Zhu. He sighed and said, “Why are you here in school so soon? As something happened to Grandma Zhang two days ago, I thought you would stay at home and rest for a few more days!”
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows disapprovingly and replied Elder Xu politely, “Before her death, my grandmother instructed me to study hard. I want to follow her last wish.”
Elder Xu nodded when he heard this. After sitting down again, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
He raised his eyes to look at Mo Zhu and touched the teacup in front of him thoughtfully. Although too many abnormal things had happened in Cloud City over the past two days, he believed that with Mo Zhu’s ability and the Huo family’s strength, the girl would definitely be able to deal with whatever came her way and scare the person who caused it, scaring him enough for him to come out from the dark.
Seeing that Elder Xu was only looking at her and not responding to her, Mo Zhu cleared her throat and asked the question again, “I believe you know why I’m here today.”
